Yeah, she's literally 18 years old, cmon Janarioo :p

I think I must have played 5 hours by now at least, seems like slow build to what I think will be an emotional ending. Not that I mind a slow build, since it's giving a lot of character to Kratos and Atreus. It's been waaaaayy too long since I played a game for more than 3 hours straight. So much fun.

God of War’s photo mode will let you turn Kratos’ frown upside down



Let’s put a smile on that face


The new God of War launched today, and we already know what one of its first pieces of downloadable content will be: a photo mode, which is all the rage these days. And this one will let you replace Kratos’ rage with all kinds of other emotions.
On a 90-minute livestream counting down to the midnight release of God of War last night, Sony offered a first look at the game’s photo mode. You can see the full segment about the photo mode above. It looks just as robust as the well-received photo modes in recent PlayStation 4 exclusives such as Horizon Zero Dawn.
“Very early on, we knew we wanted it to be an art showcase,” Jeet Shroff, gameplay and AI engineering lead at SIE Santa Monica Studio, said of God of War. “And so just adding photo mode [...] is to allow players to enjoy that art — enjoy the character artwork, the environment artwork — really up close and personal.”
God of War’s photo mode offers the usual camera controls and lens adjustments, including depth-of-field presets so players don’t have to manually tweak the aperture and focus distance. There are also plenty of color filters, as well as effects and overlays such as vignetting and borders, available to mess with. That includes a God of War-specific filter called “Kratos,” which drains all color from the screen except for red.

One element of God of War’s photo mode takes after the excellent one in Naughty Dog’s
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. In that game, players could change the facial expression for Chloe Frazer, but not her partner Nadine Ross. God of War ups the ante, letting players adjust the expressions on both Kratos’ and Atreus’ faces individually. Kratos might still not know how to let loose and have fun, but you can make it look as if he does.


God of War’s photo mode isn’t available yet, and there’s no timeline for its release — Sony Santa Monica said it will patch it into the game in the future.
“It was definitely something we were really interested in doing, but I was prioritizing — along with Jeet — prioritizing the stability and, sort of, the fun of the game,” said God of War creative director Cory Barlog. “So it became one of those things: We just kept kind of kicking that can down a little bit further, because we wanted every last second to make the game as good as it could be.”
In the meantime, though, God of War players will have their hands full with the game itself, which is huge. For more details, read our full review and check out our in-depth guide, and see a few photo mode shots from Sony’s livestream in the gallery below.

Guys, I'm talking about the below Limited Edition, I have searched gamestop and couldn't find any with a steelbook for the US.

Only one I found had figurines and was going for $90.

I believe the LE below was outside Region 1 only, heard many US people on ERA/GAF/Reddit complain that they wanted a steelbook edition but had no option other than CE and Stone Mason.

Finished the main story.

Extremely padded out campaign. The biggest set pieces (not alot of them), practically play out themselves. Control is taken away from the player and restricted to button mashing prompts. Massively disappointed with the boss fights.

yeah that looks like an EU thing. That cover is EU only and the boxes have PEGI ratings.

Chandoo is gonna love it, will be a shocking outcome :p

But nah, its a good game. Your expectations have to be very low if you come out satisfied with the boss fights. You can read this spoiler you're past this point:
Spoiler: show
The sequence with The Stranger in the beginning, easily the highlight of the game for me. I don't think they managed to top that.
Can't talk about some of the cool moments since no one else has finished it yet :p Just find the platforming segments to be tedious and there's alooot of it. Thought the story was being stretched needlessly in favor of an extended playtime. There's one point after which the story gets better, but that's much later on in the game.

I'm indifferent about the Metroidvania approach the game is taking by showing the player so many things we can't access until we get an ability or item later in the game. I've always been indifferent about games doing it, if there's a fast travel system that later allows me to quickly reach back area's it won't be an issue, if they want me to run all the way back, that's something else.

Reached the 2nd main zone of the story.

Spoiler: show
Alfheim. The witch is playing a lot bigger of a role so far than I was expecting. Also I just got a second Frozen Flame and both the dwarves are missing .. the fuck guys come on :(

The game play is so visceral. Unlike the Arkham games, you don't have enemies waiting for their turn to attack you, you're more likely to get back stabbed than attacked from the front. The in-coming danger icon is really an important tool for the game. I think I spent like 3, 4 hours just rowing around the first open world area and getting as much as I possibly can at this point lol.

Also.

Holy shit this game has some of the best, most intricate texture work I have ever seen. There is so much detail on every single thing in the game, it's no wonder it took so long for this game to come out.

The part about “controlling” a blockbuster action movie isnt wrong. Without giving away spoilers, there just aren’t alot of them. Also i thought that its not as gory or violent as is expected from God of War.

@Necrokiller how much of the side quests and exploring did you do in your play through ?

I have a contrasting view to yours in terms of the length and padding, I am loving the game so much that i dont want it to end. Taking my sweet time to explore almost every inch of the map. Probably 14-15 hours in the game and I have just completed Alfheimr.

And for anyone who has just started the game, DO NOT hoard your XP. Upgrade your skills as soon as you have enough XP so you can learn those abilities / combos from the very start. I made the mistake of hoarding XP and ended up having around 25000 XP and upgraded all relevant skills at once and now its too hard to memorize all of them at once.
