The story was fine, and the traveling dialogue and random Norse myths were well voice acted, but it’s crazy to me that so many game writers lost their mind at the complex themes like “be nice to your son, but sometimes say no to him”

My coffee warned me about it.


It's not even 1 take. When you enter portals the screen turns white before loading the other side. I guess when it's a white screen and not black people are like 'woah that totally wasn't a cut'. Not even mentioning entering shopping or skill screens. Like, it's fine, it's ok but stop going insane over how it's 1 take.

The PS3 version of Chains of Olympus is stupidly easy, especially because dodging doesn’t require you to hold down L+R+LS now. The hard mode is basically like I’d expect GOW2’s easy mode to be except even easier

There's a trophy in I think 2 where you can behead a woman for no reason after you solve a puzzle and you get a trophy called Bros Before Hos.

this confused me but i think what people mean is a film style 'long take' where its one continuous shot but what theyre actually talking about is how the game moves seamlessly between gameplay and story/cutscene stuff but games have been doing that forever so idk why everyone freaked out over it

I'm not even that hot on the game but the single-take is an incredible technical achievement in terms of animation and asset management

Even MGS4 does that. MGS4 looks like the weird obviously fake trailers from the late aughties E3s, but for real.
