Rather than having the down button be a dedicated sheathing option change it to toggle, it'll be like GoW 18 and more responsive as a result especially if you like to combo with your fist

I knew you were going to write that kind of post as soon as I saw you got the game. I was going to say something but I kept quiet and here you go. 100% predictable and your little jabs against Sony too

I got it and it makes playing the game even betterAnyone else get one of these? My biggest peeve with sony is they just havnt done any real LE controllers. Mostly just colors.. They finally did !
It looks so gorgeous I was able to buy another one before it went out of stock (again).
Did they make those GIFs besides this one?

Is there a way to quick quick turn or am I just stupid?
Having to quickly pan the camera all the way around to see enemies behind me is killing me during combat more than I like.

Quite helpful, thanks.In Gameplay menu, Go to HUD Customization. Change to Custom. Go down to Enemy Off-Screen Indicators and select Off.
Man, the amount or customization and options is just great.
Give a mouse a cookie… now I wish I could mess with the checkpoint system. I don’t want perma-death but i like to feel like I’m actually losing something upon death. Keeps my head in the game.

Five years in the making, trying to best a game winner of multiple Best Game of all Time pools.
They probably felt an awful lot of pressure.
I'll probably give this a try.
Okay, I think it's fair to say this will really end up being my all time favorite.

Just assign it to swipe down on the pad. Works for me.

The amount of family dramas in this game is just... damn.
First game had just one, between atreus and kratos and maybe with freya and baldur, a little and at the very end.
But in this one;
Brothers sisters fathers and mothers and sons... it really just doesnt end.
Other than that, 16 hours in and its so fun that time flies.

I say all side quests are worth it in the game since they are not only fun and engaging they also offer some of the best envoirments in the game.

Why are you playing symphony of the night while ragnarök is this popular bo?
Not much time for the web, enjoying the best game ever known to mankind.

The part where Atreus has to ride on the animal? I got really bored with that mission. It felt like the same thing over and over again.

I dont recomend this
During some sections of the game you may not have an ally to help you (i'm in one right now). So you'll have to pay attention to the enemies sounds, and its not very realiable.
I'm enjoying the game a lot, thinking about it when I'm not playing it, but I have to take breaks. And with games that I love, this usually doesnt happen. So I think this is a sign that the pacing is kinda not excellent, imo.
With the exception of everything regarding combat (enemy variety, moveset, new bosses) as a whole, I think the first game is still the best (so far)

Nope, we still haven’t convinced you to look beyond graphics of classic games.Had to google that shit.

Nah. I did all veinheim stuff and it sucks balls.
This area is very annoying, too busy visually and the sigil puzzles are the worst and follow you after that. It just adds another step to everything and ruins the elegance of it all.
The main side quest in venheim was semi interesting but others were crap.
But side quests in Alfhiem and svandnjxjd? Fantastic. Loved both these open areas and quests.
Edit. And yeah. The overload of mechanics, levels, skills, moves, status effects…. Oh man why. Fuck this trend. It’s too much stuff. Simple is good. Why make it so busy. In combat I get overwhelmed by decisions and mixing moves. I am doing good but chaos a lot

I remember not having this much fun back in the 1990's all the way until MGS happened then gaming started to be more than just gaming. The amount of fun I have on each newer gen is always massively bigger than the previous one. Most PS4 games are unplayable/unbearable at this point, let alone ancient 8-bit gaming.

The things you say hurt me, baby.
But I love the fact that you love new games and everything that’s been recently released. As opposed to half of the chronically depressed GAF. Now, back to Alfheim!

Yeah, there's a pattern in every Sony-related thread. I rolled my eyes when he got the game.

I loved the games in the past but they were extremely shallow in comparison. Despite MGS1 was my best game back then I struggled through the shit camera, cringe, and lots of Japanese nonsense humor. I think it was the very first game to make me cry when Myrl died and it kept burning for more than a decade, especially on MGS4 when you revisit all the old spots.
Now trying to play that game now is considered is severe torture. Even The Witcher 3 is unbearable now when it was my best game until GOW2018 happened. Some games age well, but the extreme minority.

I’ve played for 15 hours with parry shield and last 6 with big shield.
Big shield is an easy mode. But parry one is way more intuitive and fun for souls parry player and sekiro

And if you exit the armor upgrade screen at the dwarve’s vendors while in a different upgraded color that you are not upgraded to, it will have that color during gameplay until the next load. Not a huge deal and easily fixable via viewing a different armor piece back and forth or going back to the color you have before exit.

Not reading here to avoid all spoiler, but I just wanted to say as of tonight im 20 hours in and loving it.
Combat seems to offer way more moves and options and Equipment wise there seems to be quite the variant to different fighting styles.
Thats great and all but what I'm actually loving more is story, leveldesign and dialogues. I really love what they've done so far.
Right now it would be pretty hard for me to choose between Elden Ring ( I had beaten melania on my first playthrough without any guides and metabuilds and nearly every other optional boss) and GoW Ragnarök as GotY. Both are fucking awesome games.
Had a few hickups though.
Game crashed once and I had to restart the game once due to an npc bug which didn't react for a mainquest. After restarting the game and reloading my save it worked though.
Apart from that I only had occaisonal issues with some weirdly formatted subtitles.
Now I need to get some sleep and tomorrow the journey will continue.

Loving that the kombat is faster than 2018. Kratos hits faster and the stamina break on enemies is more generous. Enemy variety is much improve, so is the multitude of execution style, one for the blade and one for the axe.

One thing is dislike is enemy despawning after killed. Come on, I want to admire kratos's handiwork. Its rated M anyways.

Not a fan of Kratos loud breathing and moaning everytime he exerts himself....sounds like a fat man getting off the chair after a 3 hr buffet visit. Hopefully a future patch will allow us to tone that down or turn it off. Its quite distracting when youre using headphones

It's a pretty game. But it's nothing special. It's GoW 2018 Part 2.

Loves his juicy stink trail scent
Somehow stars aligned in a ton of ways this week.
Got the $ to afford a PS5.
The digital Ragnarok bundle wasn’t sold out on the day of release for the game and I got it.
The PS5 came to me yesterday.(within a day and a half from ordering)
The game is phenomenal so far. I’m doing the wetlands and if anyone deserves a raise it’s the sound department. The music here is so good.

15 hours in and this game might end up being one of my favorite games of all time already. I loved 2018, but GOWR so far has been a transcendent experience for me.
That feeling of you playing a game like this without knowing much about it or getting spoiled is priceless. The game is just close to perfection so far, story, characters, gameplay, va, pacing, etc.

I'm surprised how fun it is to play as Atreus. Love that bow.
Quite a bit more than that, but yes it is indeed a sequel.

It feels like the game uses all speakers when in PCM even if it says stereo, it also uses subwoofer even when it says stereo.
The sound for is actually surround but a bit toned down and a bit less punchy in bass with DTS, working best with Dolby for me here.
Just use whatever settings you feel are best for your setup and you.
After changing to surround I noticed a huge difference in the sound being actually surround ala 3D audio headphones, like if I run ahead and leave Atreus behind, his voice is also toned down because he's far behind from me now. Or when I'm at the edge looking at a waterfall I hear loud waterfall sound, when I move away it goes away as I get away. I really like that. Also when I move camera from right to left the sound travels like that too. It's pretty good for a 3.1.2.

Be careful if you choose "immersive" HUD. It turns off all gameplay notifications like when you pick up ressources and the area name when you reach a new location (letters + music) 
I chose custom and turn on
