Lol. I think it has less to do with my memory and more to do with me getting use to the control scheme.
I agree, this is exactly what I was trying to say.

Na Kar yar. Give me god of war is suicide !!! Nope nadda cant do :p Btw you do know you cant change the difficulty level once you start of with this mode. If you knew that and still started of with that mode, you have got some balls man.
Yes I knew, its highlighted in red. Ab toh shuru kar di :D

Hahahahah O YESSSS!!!!!!

Spoiler: show
It started as if that drunkard is going to get his ass kicked by Kratos and out of nowhere that punch sends Kratos flying... MAN that was an intense sequence. Also the lore starts opening up with that fight with lots of fingers pointing towards Odin.

Still remember the starting dialogue of that fight.

Kratos: You do not want this fight.
Stranger: Oh I'm pretty sure I do.

He was right though. coz the strange man really kicked Kratos's ass. I have a feeling we are going to see him again.

Whats most impressive to me in God of War is how deep the RPG elements are especially given the fact that it has primarily been a hack-n-slash action game. You have weapon and armor crafting, Runes, talismans loads of stuff that you can mix and match. Then there are builds with Strength, Defense, Rune, Luck etc. I am emphasizing more on strength build ignoring my Defense stats at the moment. This is on top of the fact that there are multiple upgrades for your AXE, shield and Artreus himself. Highly impressive work here by Santa Monica.

Yes, but... They only seem impressive right now because of the hype you had for this game.
Otherwise most of it is just standard stuff. :|

Ummmmmm there might be some truth in there. I am not saying that this is anything revolutionary or that its not done before. I knew the combat and lore was a lot different to the previous games but what surprised me was the emphasis on these RPG elements. It is somewhat a core mechanic if you want to progress effectively especially on the higher difficulties. This is not what God of War has been known for and that is what is impressive for me. Also the mechanics do not feel as if they are they are there for namesake only, they fit mighty well and there is this temptation to keep on upgrading your character stats - something that i didnt think could ever be in a God of War game. This is why i think its impressive.

I just lost my tour guide lol...At one moment Kratos is teling Atreus why she can’t be trusted, the next moment he trusts her himself to drive the events forward..
Story isn’t progressing in any meaningful manner.

I have to agree with GloriousChicken here. Nearly everything the game does, its a first for this franchise (ita a reboot so that makes sense). Everything is standard fare in the genre.

Lol my fingers kept going towards Square and Triangle for attacking. Went to the settings and pleasantly surprised that there's an option to change the combat buttons. Good shit. Loving this game so far.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
