Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

So God of War is apparently pretty amazing, perfect 10's all round!


It'd be nice if a perfect 10 actually meant something, when basically every game gets a 10 or a 9 it's impossible to tell what's actually decent and what's recycled garbage with nothing new being brought to the table.

I'm on the fence about it, never much cared for the series but Norse Mythology and Greek crossing over in to it is a pretty cool concept. Might get it on sale.
Honestly a huge downer for me is the lack of proper jumping...it just seems so dumb that a dude that can fight the Greek Titans can barely jump higher than I can :rofl:


Also is it just me or are third person action games...kinda s*** these days? I mean action orientated stuff like Devil May Cry, there just doesn't seem to be much of it now. I want more cool games with skill trees and s*** like that where at points in the story I unlock cool new powers, like when you first get Devil Trigger in DMC3.
Feels like stuff like that rarely happens in games now, there's a distinct lack of cool story events in favour of you choosing your skill set, which is cool in some ways but dude where are my power ups.

Good thing that the combat actually has some depth this time around compared to previous god of war games. At least for me, all the praise it’s gotten is earned. Playing it on God of War difficulty and I’ve died over 30 times already with only about 4 hours so far (and that’s still just a little after the prologue)

At face value I'm not too impressed by the combat but I've not really looked at it much because I'm trying to avoid "spoilers" in all forms, want it to be pretty fresh.

Wheeenever I can afford it that is. I'm glad that it seems like there's a lot to do, I like my linear games but it sucks when they're short and your only option for more is just to play the same thing over and over.
If I can't enjoy it more than 10 hours it's not worth my £40 I feel, sounds like it goes beyond that at least.


And now the horrible a** wait for Spider-Man...

Unless Metro Exodus would like to release in a couple of months, that'd be real nice.

I wish I could buy games this month, but I can't. Got some obligation to tend to.

I've been playing Yakuza 6. Pretty damn fun, like all games in the series.

I'm looking forward to the Hokuto no Ken spin-off, too. The tone of HnK is obviously completely different from the tone of Yakuza, but those writers are perfectly capable of juggling between various different moods so I believe it'll turn out at least decent.

Hmm I'm not a fan of the idea personally, I desperately want a cool HnK game but it just looks silly so far, HnK is silly in some campy ways but it's still pretty badass and appropriately dark.

HnK has got s*** treatment in recent years with stuff like that and a f***ing chibi anime...

I'm absolutely in love with the new God of War. No game has gripped me so much in the opening minutes since I was a pre-teen. Weirdly it feels the most "gamey" of anything I've played in over a decade now, it reminds me so much of how it felt to load up Arkham Asylum for the first time. There's such a sense of wonder and an urge to explore that I've truly missed in gaming. A large part of that was because of avoiding spoilers but I quite happily put down Final Fantasy 15 (my most awaited game of the 2010's tied only with KH3) to go on with my daily life. I finished the prologue boss in God of War and had to force myself to switch it off and get ready for work.

It's also genuinely hard by modern standards. I've probably died more in my first hour of God of War than I did in my first 5 hours of my first Dark Souls run, and yet it always feels fair. Once you get into a good rhythm with the combat it feels so heavy and satisfying, especially when you expand your skillset and start bringing in combos, parry attacks and special moves.

Also will happily say the spectacle of the prologue's final boss is fantastic and feels like classic God of War got given a gameplay and mechanical upgrade with all of the high-octane action and brutality intact. I'm very excited to push on and discover more. In just my first 90 minutes I discovered so many little hidden items, areas and points of interest that hint at potential sidequests or collection items that I'm keeping a keen eye on everything I see now. Collecting items to expand my health bar feels so retro and so welcome instead of being a skill tree option.

Basically, get it. The reviews are not wrong.

Yeah I saw Jim Stirling said that "It feels like a video game" I kinda want that feeling again.

A lot of games these days just feel like a task in a way, less fun more...just a process.


Sadly not sure when I'll be able to afford the game <_< well, I could buy it now but need to save moneys for adult life. If only I was a BOY.
Even without having played the game the memes for it are brilliant. Hope sequels don't take too long to come out, apparently there's no DLC. Not sure how to feel about that, would be cool to dip in to a new area a year later and re-live the game.

Man, does anyone have 100% completion for trophies on DS3? I'm almost there. I'd have them all, but you have to do a lot covenant ranking to get the items I have left.

I never bother with trophies. Too much effort for no real reward. If they unlocked extra features in the game they might be worth doing.

Damn I don't want to wait 26 days for the Sega Collection. I want it now.

Yeah that'd be cool if they unlocked special features. I know a couple games that are like that, not really the trophies doing the unlocking though. But I like the accomplishment and I have some friends that didn't think I could do it, so to show them that too is satisfying.

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

I used to be crazy for it and would get games that were easy to platinum, like Terminator Salvation...boy was that a s*** game.

It's fun to get a platinum and it feels like a nice trophy to have but damn so many games are tedious with it.
If you look on PlayStationTrophies.org (I think) some games literally take more than 1000 hours to platinum, screw that noise.

I tend to platinum any game I really enjoy, unless it has one of those really annoying grindy trophies.
Sucks when you get to 93% and then one trophy is like "Oh yeah get a million billion credits but btw you get 500 credits per battle, enjoy spending the next 400 years getting enough for this s***ty bronze trophy"



Ahhh I want God of War but I can't justify the purchaaaase...

I have a £10 HMV card to use but driving to HMV requires driving through the city and going in a parking complex, which I've never done before. Feelsbadman.
Nearly finished Metro: Last Light so need something new...

Or maybe I'll bring myself to play one of the many other games I've yet to do.

It looks like generic crap but since it was free, I guess I could check out Mad Max...*sigh* next time daddy Kratos, next time...

Aside from recording I haven't really played that much recently. Hopefully I can pick up a game I can play soon. I really want Far Cry 5.

I'm so unmotivated to play video games lately. Wow, not that that's bad though. I have been getting outside more because of it.

I only really play games that I can play with others. Single player stuff isn't really my thing these days.
