Wow. I've never worked on a single project for 5 years so I can only imagine the relief he feels in that video. Fair play

That's pretty cool actually. He must have known he had a pretty good game but you'd never be 100% sure how the critics react and then to see it change from 93 (which was beyond expectation I'd say) to 94.
Just looking at metacritic now and the surprising thing is there's only 8 negative user reviews out of 83

played a few hours of it so far it's very good

Is it similar gameplay to the previous ones?

No, looks to be more like Last of Us crossed with Dark Souls.

Don't think so, I did find myself thinking it really is just a hack n slash type game but it done differently somehow. Having a long range attack also probably changes it up a bit now I think of it.
The fixed camera makes it a very different experience to the previous games. It looks and plays awesome.

Got my smyths preorder in the post just now. Roll on 4pm

Doctor Nick

Might pick it up next week when paid. I'll keep an eye on thread for non spoilery info. Thanks

I dont think that will happen somehow,they have raised the standards on this one technically at least (i havent played it yet) so they'll have to work off that benchmark going forward..

Picked this up this morning and played it for an hour.

Have to say im very impressed so far. Combat feels chunky and feels like you're doing damage to people.

Very excited for the rest of it.

no Smyths pre order in today's post unfortunately

jones

Dying to get stuck into this preordered it with Smyths delivered to work today. I still havent finished Farcry but think i'll put it on hold

The negative user reviews on metacritic are gas. Why would you be bothered?

Retr0gamer

The camera in the game reminds me of God hand. Wonder how much influence that game played.

Some people just cant be happy for anything.

I love the ones where they're claiming it "ruined" the God of War franchise.

The digital comic was nice. Very short but very nicely presented.

I havent looked at the comic yet, is it a prologue of some sorts? I assume such because its issue #0 .. ?

Pretty much it's only about 11 or 12 pages, and can be read like that but can be played kind of like a short clip too which is how it's nicely done.

Has anyone started on Give Me God Of War difficulty? I'm reluctant to do so as it says you can't change it mid game and have to start over.

I plan to play it through on the difficulty below that and then replay it on give me god of war.

I dont want my first play through to be a slog.

Thats what I opted for myself.

I avoided most of the pre-release hype for this so was pleasantly surprised to hear Christopher Judge's voice.
