Comment on Shower thought, traversal in open world games have turned from game mechanics to loading screens
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 1 month agoGod of War always struck me as the wrong game for that gimmick. Sure, there are no camera cuts, but you need to pull up your menu constantly to check the map, change gear, etc. It ends up feeling like there are hundreds of cuts.

I’ve been playing God Of War Ragnarok and haven’t felt the need really to use the map much at all.
I do find the armor system to be annoying and basically decided to ignore all the gear I pick up, sell it, and upgrade the base items all the way instead because of the buffs the beginning gear gets if you upgrade all the way. All that to say I wish they just had a more robust leveling system instead.
Otherwise minus my deaths (playing on God Of War difficulty ) I’ve been feeling pretty immersed in it.
