Seems to line up, and makes it seem like there's more side-stuff to do in Ragnarok. And yeah, playing on God of War mode makes most shit take substantially longer, simply because no matter how badass you are, everything has more health and just takes longer to murder.

Oh, well nevermind then. I was under the impression they were doing 3 games. Wonder where they'll go after this. Can't imagine they'd go for the Roman gods, they're a little too similar to Greek. I guess Egyptian would be a good direction.
New World Aztec gods.

The first one seemed to last longer than 40 hours; was it really that short?

Think it was about 20 hours just the main game.

What's weird is why did they have us kill a bunch of different colored giants/trolls as bosses in the first game if there's only going to be 2?

The bosses were my biggest issue with it. After going from slaughtering the fuck out of every known greek god/titan in GoW 3 to only 1 god in GoW 4, it was a bit of a let down but at least made sense if they had to stretch it out for 3 games.

lol yes, it also lasted longer than that for me, because I played on the hardest difficulty and fucking sucked at it.

The valkyrie fights were rage inducing at max difficulty, for sure. I think I spent almost two full days beating the last two. The gear farm in the poison zone, whatever the fuck that one was called, was super fucking annoying too. Valk queen was the only fight I felt was unfair because she had all the fucking moves and sometimes the RNG would just feed you a bunch of the super rapey ones in a row. Everything else was execution, sort of like Souls almost.

I really hope they can pull this off and not have any woke shit or gimmick shit shoved into it. The last one really surprised me with how good it was and how fun it was. Judge was the perfect voice and mocap actor for the role and the rest of the cast was damn near perfection as well. It is hard to recreate that kind of hype twice in a row.

Am I the only one who loved the poison zone? It brought out my inner ARPG grind mentality. Also random so semi-roguelike. I was secretly hoping they made more optional zones like that in the next one.

Loki will be a tranny. There will be woke stuff, thinking otherwise is peak hopium. Games have to reflect the modern times, ya know?

reviews drop tomorrow i think, game is out in a bit more than a week. i'd expect reviews to be fairly positive, early impressions are pretty positive although they say its more of God of War instead of something crazy new - which is fine with me

PS Stars has a new bonus campaign for buying it, probably just buy the digital deluxe edition if reviews are good, plenty of time to preload. gonna speed run the first one in easy mode this week i think too

I just blew all the dust off my OG PS4 and updated it for this. Probably the last game I'll play on it (although I said that as well for Horizon 2). Playing 1st again NG+ on my PC.
Cannot see jumping through all the hoops needed to get a PS5 when it will eventually come out on PC and I'll have forgotten the story by then for my replay.

The only bad thing I've heard is the writers apparently didn't do a good job of keeping the dialogue lined up with the setting. They use a lot of modern 2022 parlance. It'll annoy me to hear Atreus say "kill that fucker!" but overall I'm sure it's going to be fantastic.
