@DestinLegarie Ignoring all the noise, I think it’s disheartening we get a god of war mainline game with no kratos, because due to long development times, we might not be playing as him again for maybe 6-8 years. I think this one would have been receptive as a spin off from another studio.

Some of the wild stuff y'all are saying because some people might miss Kratos a bit is a tad much. Laufey is probably going to be great. It's Santa Monica. They don't miss. It's also ok to also miss The God of War in a God of War game. Sheesh.

@GenePark I had the same feeling, and kinda feels like a game for late end generation X or very early millenials. I'm in my mid 30's, white guy, and the scene at the time, at the end of the 90's was emo/hardcore music, and it feels that mixtape is very much aimed at american gen x youth?

i'm intrigued only because of reviews but blessing hits on something that makes me skeptical. i do not recognize any part of this game as someone who grew up in a nonwhite community. i did not "grow up" in the vibes of this game so none of it connects. interested to hear more

@GenePark I’m finding that gaming both from the influencer/creator and general player base perspective that people don’t want to play games on the games terms anymore. Where if the game’s not for them it’s deemed automatically bad without constructive criticism attached. Sad to see lately

yeah i’m done talking about this game. i have a great angle for a review and ive been talking about CD because 1) it’s a fascinating project and 2) Im Korean. this is from my people. it interests me greatly and ill write more about that. until then you all drive each other crazy

@PaulTassi I keep seeing mixed reactions on how it controls? Does it feel bad or just frictional until you learn the mechanics?

They genuinely changed a ton from during the review process to now the day one patch, like totally reversing issues like fast travel, and inventory space is wayyy better than it was Biggest issue I’m seeing now are those first few hours which are not good onboarding

@DaveOshry The biggest confusion is the sun not setting until 9pm, or 21:00👀😎

I've lived in a country that uses 24 hour time for 6 years now and I still think it's dumb like what do you mean it's 15:41 lol shut up

@Pestily @Pestily bruh why woolies!? What about Coles gang!

My gamer diet to not leaving the house for a week of 1.0

@PaulTassi You were on the money talking about how good Spartacus was and then having the Wolverine announcement happen. The timing!

Spartacus!!!

@GenePark I found those fights tend to be a good reminder to utilise your tools. I definitely think people are sleeping on that.

the "adds" during boss fights is BS. gank fights are cool and part of the experience, but throwing in trash mobs feels cheap and doesn't add much to the experience. i think the platforming will be a hard filter for many people. besides that, i loved the challenge!

@GenePark The people yearn for bloodborne and it’s never delivered.

i get that there’s barely first party. but if you’re a sony first party fan, why are you expecting these games to be made quickly? you keep asking for games to show hair follicles and horse balls. so they’re going to spend $500 million and 8 years making it. is that not what you want?

what was underwhelming about it? i don’t understand at all. no sad dad game? early 2000s games journalists live on in sony california fans ig

@thomasmahler I don't know if anyone has asked in earlier conversations, but I remember pvp could be something that's coming later post the coop update? Is the goal with that like an arena style pvp or more of an invasion style PvPvE into realms that's an opt in feature?

Sneak Peak of some of the things that'll come with Breach Patch 1 👍❤️ forum.norestforthewicked.com/t/breach-patch…

@spearshadow @SynthPotato When I first played the original I remember playing on expert. Seems like a lot of people recommend adept and then potentially change after level 10 if it’s too easy.

@Hyperlight3r @SynthPotato it is irrelevant, for those who have never played it it is better to start from the easy level and then gradually increase it, when you have become familiar with it if you want a demanding challenge you can change difficulty at any time

Oblivion Remastered has a new dodge mechanic that you unlock by levelling up Acrobatics. It’s so great that Virtuos really went in to add more depth to a pretty simplistic combat system and seemingly have fixed the broken level scaling as well Oblivion has never played better!

@DaveOshry Cheers! Much appreciated!

@Hyperlight3r it's Universal Unreal Unlocker works on all UE5 games

Using UUU to have a HUD toggle and crank the bloom and lumen 🤌

@expedition33 I would love to know as I haven’t seen anyone ask, but is part of the combat inspired by the legend of dragoon?

wow

@thomasmahler Definitely agree. SotC set such a benchmark in climbing mechanics and gameplay that I would love to see more of it. I’m excited to see what Project Robot will be!

@Hyperlight3r It’s not even close to the same level. A bit unfair of course since that was just a side mechanic in Dragon’s Dogma while it was the main mechanic in SotC, but yeah… this PlayStation 2 game still did it better than anything else available today.

I’m just sitting here at 2am and what just popped into my head is that I’m hoping that we’ll see Fumito Ueda at his best once again. While Ico was already a great achievement, Shadow of the Colossus is one of the best games ever made in my book and I can’t actually think of any other game that 20 years later hasn’t been bested yet mechanically. I’ve never seen any game after SotC handle one character climbing onto another character done as well as it was there. I can’t even fathom what it must’ve taken to achieve what SotC did on a PlayStation 2. Ueda-san, I believe in you.

@dannyodwyer As a Bilmuri fan, we must reject big hygiene 😤

Filling my bathtub with 4 years of precious fluoride water.

@SkillUpYT @TheFPSPodcast They originally stated last year they are working on plans to change power level and tie that potentially to the artefact. Is this still being working on or have they converted back to purely power levelling gear?

Next week on @TheFPSPodcast we'll be interviewing Joe Blackburn, Destiny 2's Game Director. Other than 'WHAT IS THE VEIL???', what questions might you have for him? (Bonus points for non-Destiny specific questions since a lot of our audience aren't Level 6 Veterans)
