Nice. I was thinking something like that so I went a bit ahead to see if it was a roundabout way if getting to them and then I just advanced the story.

Levelling up seems too slow. I'm lvl 1 hmm

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Apr 23, 2018 9:47 pm

I wouldn't pay attention to your level tbh, it's all based around your gear.

You can play the game for hours on end but if you use the same gear you'll stay at level 1. It's not been an issue for me so far, except for the odd optional fight which was obviously levelled well beyond what i was capable of at that point.

level cap is 7 apparently so it will be slow.

I honestly don't think it means a lot either really, levels in this game are incredibly different to most games where you see Level 20 stuff etc etc.

by RealGunner Mon Apr 23, 2018 9:51 pm

Yea i read about that. You are right regarding the armour and weapon thing. Focus is mostly on that.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Apr 23, 2018 9:55 pm

Yeah just focus on weapons, gear maxing out your skill tree etc etc imo.

I really haven't paid attention to my level most of the game tbh, i don't think it means an awful lot more rather what type of enemy you face.

Don't think i'll be able to play it till Friday now due to CL/EL ffs. Was craving it bad at work today lmao

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Apr 23, 2018 9:59 pm

story wise? because I keep seeing those chests that I can't remove the vines from yet and I was worried that it expected you to backtrack all the way to these hard to reach areas later on without any story incentive to do so, if we return there for story etc, cool but I'm not going back on a 20 minute journey to get 1 chest

Levels also block your skill progression

deflecting projectiles with the shield skill is GOAT

That's levels based on your Axe etc etc though, not your overall level.

They are two different things, your axe level absolutely matters.

don't think I would pass a doping test atm, game has raised my testosterone levels through the roof

100% gonna walk around calling everyone boy now in the Kratos voice

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Apr 24, 2018 3:13 pm

Love Kratos ffs, haven't been as emotionally invested in a character since prime Geralt.

by rincon Tue Apr 24, 2018 3:19 pm

Kratos is GOAT. Im waiting to see if the game can make actually support him at some point. He went full villain before. Can't side with him yet but I also haven't had enough story so far. Ended up doing a bunch of sidequests in the lake.

The kid is cool.

by Firenze Tue Apr 24, 2018 3:29 pm

since I haven't played the previous games I don't know much besides him wanting vengeance and killing like the entire greek pantheon of gods for his wife and child being killed? but I did see people ask if this game redeemed him, I didn't want to look at the convo for fear of spoilers though, how did he go full villain before?

by rincon Tue Apr 24, 2018 3:37 pm

He is started on a proper anti hero track seeking revenge on Ares for tricking him into killing his own family.

Now the reason that Kratos was "allowed to be tricked is that he would rampage like mad into whatever village he was invading for Ares and kill everybody, including innocent people. No survivors kinda guy. So Ares teleported his family into a temple of one such village knowing that Kratos would kill everyone blindly. Hoping that no earthly ties would make him the ultimate warrior for him.

Before that he had sold his soul to Ares because he lost a battle to the Barbarians, so he gave his soul in exchange for killing them all.

After he did get revenge with support of the gods, all could have been somewhat cool as they made him the new God of War.

Long story short Kratos was no better than Ares and used his powers to make Sparta conquer and invade everyone in the Mediterranean.

The gods get fed up and trick him to make him mortal and try to kill him. That's GOW2.

Then GOW 3 he goes full villain wanting revenge on the gods for acting like an asshole, and he pretty much kills EVERYONE in greece/Europe by taking out all the gods that control shit (like sea level and the sun).

the real reason this game is a success, no carrying capacity shenanigans, dont have to spend hours managing my inventory, i can loot at will Proud

Didn't even think about that because it does so many things so insanely well.

I haven't finished yet but I'm confident saying this, it's as close to a perfect game I can remember in a long time.

There's literally nothing I would change.
