Me too

Sekiro has this and it’s amazing. You can just sit down, scroll through a list, and fight your favorite boss. Or you can go through a gauntlet where you have to beat multiple bosses in a row to get a reward. It’s a genius idea because in most games, you can love fighting a certain boss, but then have to play the whole game to fight it again.

whilst not exactly what you asked, valhalla dropped🎉

Just make multiple saves

@@pysky4uyes but what if i get some new builds

I'd give you 10 likes if I could.

@@UniverseGd Thank you :) Your comment is more than enough, you made my day, thanks.

I was hoping Atreus would learn of Lysandra and his sister Colliope. I can understand why Kratos may not want to talk about that with his son, but I guess one can argue that everyone knows of Kratos’ past but not all the finer details of it. Maybe they’re only aware of the mad man that destroyed an entire country due to being wronged.

he probably didnt want to anger the god of war known for ripping part gods withe ease

why would they know that? ghost of sparta killed an entire world, that's probably what he's known for. and not for something he did before he even became that strong.

@@explainDis exactly

​​@@explainDis it is not about story being good , it was *underwelhming* . I liked the story but the way the whole ragnarok battle was done was good but underwelhming . We didnt even see many gods in the game like for example odin brothers . We just got the base gods and it was nothing like gow3 . Also the odin fight was heavily uninspired ,lets compare it to the baldur's final battle and not zeus (which was too good) the arena changes with cutscenes mixed up ,with the game making you switch weapons as baldur turns ice or fire That really made it a good final fight . The game was a missed oppurtunity tbh and i honestly get bored playing it now . Lets see what the newgameplus brings

Metroidvanias do it all the time like where’s the fun of just already having these abilities with nothing to unlock, the previous GoW games did it too. GoWR just took some abilities away to make the gameplay easy to understand at the start while already having certain moves unlocked from the start like running attacks.

​@@ericgropuis And the older Gow's take away your power too, 30mins to the Game.

I know this is an old comment but I just wanted to say a lot of action games are about experimenting with a large variety of options including God of war so why would depth be a negative if some or even most people don't expirement with said depth

Personally, one of the few aspects I loved about GOW2018 was seeing Kratos get closer and closer to Atreus, even as a 20 year old. You could kinda tell the whole time that Kratos did love the kid, but he wasn’t able to show that properly and struggled with showing his emotions in a proper way. I think that’s a struggle for every man at a certain point in his life, whether in his teen years or older. So I liked seeing him overcome that and also seeing Atreus mature enough to realize his father did care for him all along. It also felt like a personal stab in the heart when Atreus said he wished Kratos died instead of his mom. My main problems with GOW2018 were unrelated to Atreus tbh, but I do love watching both positive and negative reviews of it. For one, I wasn’t a fan of the core gameplay loop. Very little exploration, the path was super linear and gave little creativity to the player, the puzzles were self-explanatory and boring, and even the combat wasn’t my thing. Felt too spongey and spammy, with little strategic dodging and timing. The world building was cool, but I never felt inclined to explore it because the levels never gave me the sense that I was exploring. I never was finding my own path; the game was holding my hand the entire time. And then obviously the enemy/boss variety was lacking which everyone can agree on.

Hi!

You’re pretty hated among the critique community. How’d you feel about that?

yeah you could see the developers had a lot of places like that to improvise and have fun with the environment took me some time to get that

The most unGOW thing I've seen

@@melancholyman369 huh

people say they want that, but why would a god killer have issues with puzzles?

I wasted a day for not knowing what to do

I feel you amigo, I don't like that the story seems to be overwhelming the action more and more. A big problem is also the damn cringey fanbase.

@@greatloverofliver facts

the worst part is we can only visit asgard as atreus and it's really dumb we got no open world portion for it and jotenhiem and hellheim really weren't that large

I agree. I still love the game, but there are a lot of improvements that could be made@@jordan9503

Yea it's very glitchy, for me, it just kept putting away my weapon like Mayo, and you don't get much time to react with it, it's kinda risky to use it

It's still better, like He says it has consequences

The problem with that is it's locked behind completely unlocking all of the Axe tree. It's a neat final thing, but by that point you have already built up a bevy of gameplay habits. It should have been something unlockable earlier.

@@dannymerfeld7711 I agree. NG+ is coming though.

​@@dannymerfeld7711it isn't hard to adjust to especially if you use the whirlwind sweep moves frequently

@@UzairAli-iy5jh no playable Thor as predicted. And I was surprised we got the cloak. Aged as stated lol.

@johnkimble523 Why would they make thor playable he is dead it is pointless, and plus, where did you predict playable thor? You are asking far too much from a ng+

Depending on the attack and your position you kinda have to block. Dodging does not grant invulnerability

Bro you had some real good ideas there. I'm also sad that they chose to end it with two games. This could have been one of the greatest trilogies in all of entertainment

@@KaptainKuba My thoughts exactly, the potential was there and everyone sees it. I think that's why people are defending this game so hard even with it's very obvious flaws because they see the potential in the story.

Completely agree, Ragnarok was far from bad but this saga could've been so much better if they didn't condense the entire thing into 2 games. The writing in Ragnarok at best is phenomenal but some of the best ideas are hamstrung by the need to wrap it all up in one go. Ragnarok's portrayal of Thor is utterly fantastic but it's so clear that his side of the story suffered from this choice, so much so that it left a bad taste in my mouth despite loving every second of screentime he gets. Thor and Thrud deserved more, they had the writing chops to make it that good in that short span, I can only dream of the arc they could've had in the third game if Ragnarok didn't need to end it this time. Everything to do with Atreus in Asgard needed more time to breathe. This game really is his story, with Kratos feeling shoehorned in at points because so much needed to happen in one game.

you also have to rember that money is a big deal they probably could t make a 3rd game

That critique was dumb. Mayo’s was better imo. Even Feeble king had a better critique

​@@thatoneguy1232how was it dumb

Tbh he may just be talking about the mechanics. Early game is very boring and there’s little you can do. Just hacking. Neat spectacle tho. The Thor fight in comparison has more on the player’s side and on his.

I mean… Originally God of war is an open franchise with their mechanics, so it’s understandable, BUUUUUUT Sekiro is a Miyazaki game and they’re almost 2 different genres of videogames

@@Ricknarok28 I meant that he doesn't like playing by the game's rules, in sekiro you HAVE to play by the game's rules, you HAVE to deflect. So if he plays sekiro he'll rage quit immediately.

@@tby3502 But Sekiro didn’t have 20 years of legacy to live up to. it didn’t have 5 mainline entry in the series. It was a new IP. There are expectations when it comes to a game like God of War, if Ragnarok was a brand new IP , it would be a masterpiece, but it’s a GOW game

@@squidstone8399 cool story, but that has nothing to do with what I've said. I'm talking about how he struggles with the combat like an imbecile.

​@@tby3502and he doesn't like sekiro, which is fine.

He doesn’t care about it that much in Ragnarok because it isn’t game breaking which was a big issue for him. He even states that you actually do have to fight now instead of runic spam everything

@@thatoneguy1232 I don't understand why Mayo complaining about you can Runic spam anything. Just don't do it, they give us option does not mean they force us to do it every time. Some of his complain is understandable but there are so many things that make me feel mad because how dumb of a game reviewer he can be

@@voquochuy7086 the issue is that you can. And that there is little to no incentive to play good. I love 2018 but there is no reason to play like GBG. There is no reward for that. There isn’t even a reason to switch weapons because the game breaks its own rules by allowing the axe to be used in Hel and against hel-walkers. There was 0 uses for the blades which destroyed the wonderful and emotional scene of Kratos retrieving them and undermining the reason behind doing so in the first place. In Ragnarok the game offers incentives to play well. Keep you your offense going and get good at blocking, dodging, and parrying. Not only is it that you can’t runic spam, but there’s a reason not to as well. And almost every move has its uses. You can still fight ice enemies with the axe which is a shame but the elemental shields grants immunity to certain weapons encouraging weapon switching. Not only that, but burning enemies are weak to the axe and frozen enemies are weak to the blades. More incentive to switch. The spear is great for building stun and one of my favorite weapons to use against bosses. Active l1+triangle any one of your weapons for more damage and other perks. In Ragnarok everything has a use, none of it feels meaningless, you’re encouraged to use your full kit, and rewarded for doing so. I know for certain when I go back to 2018 it’s gonna be tough because Ragnarok is so much better on the gameplay side of things

Really?

You unsubscribe because he feels different towards your feelings about something? I don’t think his takes are bad about Gow at all. GOW doesn’t feel like GOW at all anymore tbh. I understand what you mean about Mayo but ppl are just crucifying him because how strongly he feels about something which is wrong

@@OGP2293 wym?

@@LoneWolfe_XX Are you sure that he specifically said that he unsubbed because he was a terrible reviewer which he kinda is in all honestly but it’s alright to have an opinion about Mayo being a good reviewer that’s your opinon.

​@@adamsin9260 cry about it

​@@explainDis no his critiques are valid bro.

Disagree we needed more cutscenes to pace out the game. A big issue I had was the pacing of the game felt too rushed.

i think the mystery was really dissolved. You never see Faye in the first game but her presence haunts every step of the path. the flashbacks here felt way too fan servicey. like faye does exactly what we think she would have done. I they really wanted to sell it , they should have had only the final flashback. This game really really suffers from excess. there is too much of everything. and its so croweded

I agree. That kind of KZfaqr sucks.

@@user-xx3jb3bj6ma plot-driven game. Plot-driven games tends to need the story looked at in a review because if the plot is going to drive the game, the plot needs to be good.

Mayo's forte isnt story lol. Hes all about gameplay design. Or design in general.

Yeah, he likes to turn minor problems into major ones. One example is the "purple" comment in his DMC 5 impression.

“Real fans” Seriously?

And maybe have an ability wheel sum like they do with gta with the guns. Each rune have its on move set/abilities.

@@explainDis yup and I love that, not wrong for doing more than that I think

preach

@@explainDis It's longer than an hour.

I think the best solution would be to have a fast forward or skip button for that section and all dialogue.

@@explainDisa lot of it is inconsequential tho. The entire section is just off. I liked it overall which is weird to say but idk it does go on long and a lot of it is a bunch of nothing. What are the important beats that occurs? Shows Atreus the prophecy, establishing the soul in the knife, I guess the spartan rage if you wanna count that, the giant marbles, and the giant snake. Everything else doesn’t really matter in the long run. Going on like 3-4 slow yak rides. Fighting the worms in the dark. Picking fruit. The section would have been better if they did 2 yak rides and take away the cave section entirely. 1. Meet Angrboda 2. race her to the treehouse 3. She shows you the prophecy 4. Go on ONE yak ride to cool off 5. Go on another to head up to the marbles 6. Find out about Gryla 7. Make Jormungandr and fight Gryla 8. Race again and go home.

For me it's the feeling of adventure. It just feels larger than life. Going to the edge of the world to turn time back

@@KaptainKuba I can respect that cause I certainly would never hate yours or anyones opinion. I was more surprised how much love 2 was getting at least from your channel! Which btw you make fantastic work bro! Found you last year and enjoy your content greatly

And his gear is atleast the same lower level as the enemies. So upgrade them Under the mayo.

@@LalalaE15how do you know his gear is lower level? The health bars are green and it’s not like there’s another tell to my knowledge because all the gear in the game is viable hence why they all can go up to level 9

The first clip is an enemy directly behind and attacking him. The second clip he dodges away from the enemy but it kinda looks like it snaps to his direction which also happened to be where a wall was. The one with the Wulver I usually hold block as well. It’s my understanding that dodging does not grant invulnerability and some attacks once you’re in you can’t get out until an opening presents itself. But maybe you can get out of that specific attack from the wulver idk. The final clip is 100% a skill issue I’ll give you that. Could have rolled or parried that attack and didn’t.

@@thatoneguy1232 yeah but i never once have rolled into a wall like that, and again dodge and then use special attack. But then dodged into another wall 2 times and into the enemy in the in the clip during Ragnarök. And they deal much damage and being more aggressive when they are in an higher. Well sure maybe the first one was unfair. But again their Health bars was yellow, and he didn't bother at the on-screen indicators wich he never bothers to do, because "ThEy ArE aNnOyInG". Oh and the second is easy avoid he can a use special aka rage.

Many games have some "memory card read" mechanic where it gives you something if you played the previous game. But instead of gear I feel like it would be cool if it gives you some XP multiplier for a lil period just to make you able to unlock stuff faster than a first timer

@SalemCooper great idea would love if they implement that into most game sequels

Could just add all the old gear into the transmog system.

But you forget that the original creator of the series, David Jaffe himself fkn hates how the series is going now and how they turned Kratos into a fkn baby face lol. It should be a Kratos game if it’s named the fkn “god of war” and not “the annoying irritating yapping teen simulator 2022”
