God of War (2018)

Never mentions the kid during that video, which could be a good thing. You can see the kid take part in the fight, but in a minimal way... combat appeared to allow the player to focus on the mobs and not think about the kid at all.

From the gameplay, it looked like the kid was kind of like the followers in Last of Us. They do things in combat, but not really a part of it in term of a active gameplay perspective. Just there for the extra DPS or small CC if they jump on top of them. I never felt they were intrusive in Last of Us, just sort of immersion breaking at times during the sneaking parts which shouldn't be an issue in this game.

EDIT: Soygen I can't find anything either, but I was watching Dansgaming recently, and he was very sad that God of War was 30fps since he hates anything not 60+. Not sure where he got it from, but he was very sure that it was max 30.

So I'm not seeing anything about framerate on PS4 Pro. Is this shit going to be a 30 fps? Ugh.

The digital foundry will have that video when the game drops, I heard it was 60 but my eyes ain’t train to tell yet

I liked Last of Us well enough and I can't imagine I would have liked it less if it had a section where you marauded around mythological Nordic countries murdering beasties. Although that would have been a hell of a segue.

Warning: YouTube video in 4k 60fps! Contains a (un)healthy dose of Tim Rogers!

Who the fuck is this guy and why is he annoying as shit?

These are always kinda cool. The Taken King rapid-fire for Destiny w/ Luke Smith was actually pretty funny as was the one for Gears of War. This isn't quite as funny but still good

The review embargo lifts for this tomorrow. I'm really hoping they are good.

I might watch the technical review from DF, but fuck the other reviewers..

Just watched this analysis of the March 2018 gameplay video and the lore is pretty deep in this one.

Most of the reviews if read/watched are giving it a perfect score or if not close to it. Can this be the GOTY?

Definitely a must buy.

Shit, I'm terrified to pre-order still!

I can't trust gaming review sites anymore, these same fucks gave D2 high scores.

I don't like review sites either, but if they're almost all 10/10s, it's probably pretty accurate lol

I had no desire to buy this but now i'm really curious about it
