This God of War is the Dark Souls of Gods of War, amirite?

I set it on the highest difficulty, but I'm at my first real brick wall. It's the group fight just after you find your first rune, and I just can't seem to get my shit together enough to beat it. I've gotten a lot better at getting the kid to distract and let me handle a more manageable number, but the projectile draugurs being able to 1 shot me if I've taken any damage at all is too much for my sleep deprived brain. We'll see if I can handle it better after some sleep, but it's looking like I'm gonna be lowering it down a notch :oops:

You pretty much always have to prioritize killing projectile attackers first or you are gonna be fucked. That's the same encounter that made me change difficulty and that's before the heavier enemies even show up.

Do they explain how the fuck he is not dead... or do they just, eh- he has a scar see..carry on- oh and it's norse gods now.

Don't need specifics or spoiler just a general "story' feel thus far

I got the upgraded digital version from the PSN store. It comes with a downloadable GoW comic book plus other items and hopefully that will shed some light on what happened.

The game is fantastic. It took me a while to get use to controllers but once I put it in classic mode it was much easier for battle. I wasn't a fan of attacking with the right triggers. Also the lore is amazing. This really has me wanting to read up on Norse mythology. If anyone owns a PS4 this game is a must buy.

who was the guy at the beginning with all the blue tattoos all over his body that was sent by Odin? I have a feeling I will meet him again cause he never identified himself

I forgot about those two.

4k + PS4 Pro is a damn game changer. I thought there was no way it would look that good, and I was wrong.

And Monster Hunter World!

Got the PS4 with Bloodbourne, HZero Dawn, MHW, and now GoW and its one of the most satisfying purchases i have ever made. I cant believe for so long i was a PC snob saying consoles were for kids.

I just put in my two weeks yesterday and I mostly work from home. I'm thinking about buying this and playing instead of working today.

If I had to guess, it would be Loki. He can't be hurt (could be an illusion/projection), seems like a bit of a trickster and during the fight mentions he has a brother.

Make a drinking game of how many time Kratos says it and you might die. Also funny to keep track of him saying "indeed" since the voice actor, Christopher Judge, said it all the time in Stargate SG-1.

Nope not Loki, it's given away pretty early who the stranger is, when you enter the hub area
