Man I can’t believe people even mentioned that the combat in this game was repetitive.

I love chucking my axe into the ground or into someone head then go barefisted and pummel a ton of adds then recall it into a hulk like smash into the ground. Truly epic moments.

It's pretty deep, I think it's a game where you get out as much as you put in. If you just main line the story you miss so much world building and lore that really does help feel immersed in the world

Something has gone wrong on my end since patch 1,17 as I now have input lag at 4k. It is fine on performance mode.

I would so overall no not really. It can be challenging, but not really in a dark souls sense. You block dodge and parry so some similarities get drawn there but I wouldn't go in expecting the two compare too much. It's fantastic though

Thanks for the reply.

Into the 2nd half of God of War now I think and enjoying it more. However I’m not sure if it’s a bug that one of the new patches introduced but basically I can purchase any skill even if I don’t have enough of the required level of attribute e.g. cooldown. Is this a bug or am I supposed to be able to do this?

Are you sure you are not mistaking the unlock of a base attack with that of an additional bonus you get if a certain stat is reached?

If you go to unlock a skill, on the right hand side under the video it lists a potential bonus you get if you reach a stat requirement. You can unlock the skill no matter what but only get the bonus if your stats line up

I made this mistake for about the first 15 hours, I was confused why I needed such high points to unlock basic skills! When I did realise I unlocked pretty much the entire tree in one go.

Just got another skill tree (won't say what for to avoid spoilers) and combat definitely gets more interesting as the game progresses.

It threw me for a bit too, should be a bit clearer imo

I finished last night, fantastic game. I did most of the side stuff as I went so it's racked up a few hours for me but I had to. I know you can carry on and the up loose ends after the story but I never feel compelled to do that so try to do what I can before that point.

Best game this year so far, not sure if any thing will top it for me but to early to say for sure

Death Stranding might if it lives up to its hype.

ricky1981 · 29 Apr 2018 at 09:34

It's the best game I've played so far this year, I reckon Red Dead Redemption 2 is my pick for the year but this has certainly set a nice high bar

BGGLP · 29 Apr 2018 at 09:46

Ahhhhh thank you!! Yes that makes sense- I’ll be able to just get every skill then now! Haha. Was managing without them so it probably improved my combat skills!

biron_w · 29 Apr 2018 at 09:58

I was also confused by the stats for skills business. I'll get to unlocking skill now!

I doubt that will even release in 2019

I love the way the way the lore is delivered in this game. So entertaining and keeps me amused while on side quests.

Just finished the main game. Just wow, every minute was just epic. Not normally one to watch the cut scenes but these were done so well and didn't go on and on.

Is there a way to skip cut scenes, I couldn't find it.

Nope, it's put off some of the speed-running community as a result but I think I read somewhere that quite often the cutscenes are masking some background loading. Option to skip might be added in a future patch I guess.

Second half of this game is incredible. Best graphics to date on PS4 pro I think: looks stunning on ks8000. Shame the game took hours and hours to get really good!

smokedog · 30 Apr 2018 at 14:46

Finally finished it, didn't think it would end, felt like it was going in circles. Didn't enjoy it that much, found it almost a chore. I mainly didn't like the fighting, the puzzles I did enjoy.
