I added the link to the spoiler thread in the OT

Obviously here, spoilers should be avoided for early impressions and if one needs to be mentioned (within reason) as a answer to a question or whatnot, it should be labeled if it's related to gameplay, story, location, etc

Can you please add the most updated pic including me? Thanks.

I'm still kinda amazed at how fast the hype train left the station on here. It seems like nobody was really talking about GoW all that much but then it suddenly exploded once people got wind that it might be actually really, really good.

Your post reminds me of the thread made by the guy who wants to play with his 9 year old. I was thinking like she could make a similar one "playing it with my 30 year old(I'm guessing) son"

I'm confused about Kratos' God status, maybe someone here can clarify. He started as a demi-god but then he became the God of War, did that make him a full blown God then? Now that the greek Gods have fallen is he a demi-god again? Is he immortal or not?

LOL...that OT. I admitted that i laughed. I thought the OT will be 'God of Score' or something.

How long till this OT reached million views and 300 pages? It took the review thread less than a week.

Yeah, they held this one really close to their chest for the past ~20 months. I think the hype train really kicked off around March 20 or so when we got our first extended look at gameplay at got our first hint at what the game really was.

Bit off topic but Ares was awesome, it was so sad what happened to that actor shortly after Hercules, right when he was getting his foot in Hollywood and doing his first feature film he passed away from an accident on a movie set.

he's still immortal as he kept his powers (i think)........sans the power of hope from pandora's box when he released it to mankind at the end of GOW3.

He's a god. He's immortal. He is visiting a foreign land without a passport. Think of it like Thor and Thor 2 The Dark World.

38 in June.

More like I'm playing, she's watching
She was like why not take all the cutscenes and make a movie
I'd go watch it in theaters...

Her favorite movie is Heat (Al Pacino & Robert Deniro), so my mom has very good taste

I showed her Fortnite, Destiny, The Last of Us
Nope

For her right now its
1. God of War due to E3 reveal and I've shown her everything media related up to today
2. Horizon
3. Uncharted 4

Honorable mention, Playstation VR

Yeah it's truly a Sony dominated household

Sorry for personal info and derail

Thanks for the OT. It's fantastic.

Being a God doesn't mean you keep that power forever as Kratos lost his power on mulitple occasions. The Olympians themselves can be weakened by things like the Flame of Olympus, Pandora's Box etc.

My guess is that Kratos is now back to Demi-God status, an immortal with super strength (since a LOT of time has passed for the world to have a brand new set of deities and a whole culture sprung around them). Basically, just like his brother Hercules.

Yes, but I figured the auto download would be earlier or the same. Maybe it's PS+ thing?
I think it has to do with time being set according to the east coast. The preload will probably start 4/18 on the dot. That would mean 4/17 @9pm for me. Same time you can pick up games here in Cali. I'll be playing GoW on 4/19 @9pm as well.

Righto, makes sense. Basically he's still a God with less power than he had in Greece. It was the fact that he's obliviously aged since GOW3 that was throwing me a bit. Will be interesting to see his power evolution in Norse mythology.

I feel like the OT is a prelude to the game's reception. It's a magnificent thing, truly one of the best OTs in Resetera's and even GAF history, and yet it somehow disappoints because the expectations and hype have gotten the best of us.

Man I haven't been this hyped for a game since idk MGS4 I guess. Even TLG couldn't get me this hyped. Holding God of War 2's disk in my hand and running to home to play it is one of the fondest gaming memory I have haha

That's interesting. Play detroit with her as well. Might be more of her speed considering she likes watching and that game will be mostly narrative focused.

also, Kratos greatest source of power is his rage......so the current kratos with his tempered rage, it seems kratos also practice some sort of 'self-restrain', thus he basically 'nerfed' himself, if you will.

Think of him like the hulk.
