Chindie Posted April 26, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted April 26, 2018 In fairness I think it's fairly approachable to absolutely rinse - there's not much with huge skill requirements, it's just mostly endurance. The exception is a couple of optional things which are awkward, certainly initially. Great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 26, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 26, 2018 Wanna sell me your copy @Chindie? Looking to pick this up second hand. How does it perform on the PS4? (Compared to PS4 pro, I've not got a pro). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rino8 Posted April 28, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 28, 2018 The boat is the real star of this game. It does an incredible job of building the world and characters that you're yet to see. Finished it a few days back, the best exclusive I've played in a really long time. Can't wait for a sequel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Finished the main story tonight, loved it, did not see the ending coming at all, really like the setting and mythology which for me worked better than the greek of previous games and even with the name dropping they didnt really lean on the heavy hitters (ill admit the majority of my norse knowledge comes from the thor films...) theres a lot of ways this series can go which is almost a shame because its going to take a looooong time to fulfill all the possibilities Spoiler They teased the other realms, dont go egyptian, if kratos to japan and gave him a sword holy **** shit balls Spent a bit of time in thr fog and doing the arena thing, not convinced i can be bothered, maybe just played a little too much of it this weekend and might revisit it in the week Im now torn as to whether or not its better than horizon, i think story wise GoW but the combat in horizon was probably more enjoyable for me, both are great games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Really amazing so far. Best game I've played for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rino8 Posted May 2, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2018 The loot system they have going in here is pretty pointless. For the most part any 'rare' armour upgraded is better than every single standard legendary going. For you to upgrade the legendary armours you have to grind so much that you've finished the game, entirely. You can spend 15 hours doing all the challenges to get the armour but then what?

dubbs Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 So tonight this game made me smash the camera on my phone. It was in my pocket, camera is 10mm square but it just happened to be the bit I hit with the controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) I was going to save completing the story it until I'd done Niflheim and Muspelheim and killed all the valkyries... but I couldn't resist. Took down the first two valkyries easily enough (I kinda cheated and looked online so I could do them in order of easiest to hardest) but then the third one was quite the jump in difficulty. Those unblockable attacks destroy me. I've gotten to the valkyrie in Muspelheim so presumably I'll complete that when I can kill her. As for Niflheim, it's the most frustrating area in the game for me by quite a ways. I'm not sure I'll stick with it long enough to grind enough to kill all the valkyries. My interest is starting to wane and I just got Shadow of War on sale on the PSN store. Loved my time with this game though. I'm an absolute sucker for Norse mythology.

Chindie Posted June 1, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted June 1, 2018 Niflheim is all about setting up your character to counter the effect of the area, and resetting the area whenever it spawns awkward enemies (i.e.Dark elves). Then just keep rerunning it until you can farm enough to get armour upgrades, which are the best armours in the game. It also helps to visualize the area's layout, which doesn't change. The Valkyries aren't too difficult until the end. The end can go **** itself. Make sure you get the bonus 'teaser' epilogue scene if you haven't already - Spoiler go home after the game ends It's a nice nod to finish things off with.

V01 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 On the Valkyrie queen, had my shit pushed back in for an hour. Gonna turn it off soon and hope the football is less frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 24, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2018 The Valkyrie Queen is the hardest part of the game by **** miles. You basically need to get lucky on a run. Resurrection stone might be useful too. You lose nothing dropping it down to easy, and it's still **** hard then. I don't think there's a technique to it, it's just bloody hard and if you're unlucky or make a mistake, you're ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V01 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) She is such a cheap spawny word removed, I've dropped it down to easy and changed to the health resurrection stone. Managing to get her down to half health, then I either make a mistake or am unlucky with what attacks she chains into. Seriously tempted to pack it in and move onto something else. after many failed attempts and several curses of **** off you spawny word removed I finally beat her. Not motivated to find all the collectibles or farm Niflheim for echoes to do the tears and finish all of the Musphelheim challenges.

theboyangel Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I have just started this tonight after a disappointing stab at one of the Batman games, which I just couldn't get into. Only did the first couple of levels that basically set the scene and really like it. Had read through this thread (avoiding the spoiler bits) and heartened by the positive remarks. Will hopefully manage an hour or so tomorrow too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never played the previous games in the series as they seemed a bit cheesy, and hack 'n' slash really isn't my bag, but the 2018 game looked too good to resist, especially with the move to Norse mythology. Really need to go back and finish that final bloody Valkyrie at some point, but I may need to New Game + it just to familiarise myself with all the moves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
