  I…

  Do not know how I feel about bringing back a charachters who does SO MUCH because of her absence.

  Too bad I won’t be finding out if it works, as Sony wont be porting this to PC.

    With the current state of the entertainment industry I’m surprised they still didn’t do a LOTR movie explaining Tom Bombadil.

    There isn’t a single exec that understands why it’s important for big narratives to have mysteries.

  Oh god, now I can look forward to an entire game of her name being pronounced wrong.

  The really need to hire an Icelandic person for like an hour. Even though I don’t speak Icelandic, it’s agonising.

  That was a pretty brutal 20 minutes. If the game was coming out on a platform I own, even if I was excited for how the combat works, that was barely interactive, and I wouldn’t be looking forward to sitting through that again. In The Legend of Zelda, you hold up for about a second and a man immediately gives you a sword; I couldn’t help but think of that during all that story setup.

    Pretty much all story heavy games are like this now, and have been for some time.

    Uncharted 4 was like 2 hours in before you even got to shoot anyone.

    I recently played Hell is Us, which is a soulslike game, and you don’t get a weapon or see any combat for like the first hour or two of the game. I almost thought I was playing the wrong game.

  Made the mistake of checking the reddit thread, it looks fun, ppl fr hate anything marvelesque that isn’t edgy all the time I guess

    The incels will be really angry with this one lol. Looks good though, I’ll be playing it.

  Thought this looked really good!

  The uncut gameplay reveal approach is a little weird when combined with the mostly-cinema beginning of the game. Might’ve been nice to see more gameplay and less setup.

  I dig how goofy Frank the cube is. But I can see those quirky random characters really rubbing some folks the wrong way.

    Yeah, I was getting Quantantmania vibes from Frank and the sword. Aside from that, this looks really good!

    My friend is considering selling his PS5 to me for about $500 with games, provided I take his offer before FF7 Part 3 comes out. I already have my Steam Deck and Switch 2 (AKA Paperweight 2) to keep me occupied. Plus, not having a job makes any big budget purchase tenuous at best.

    Games like Wolverine and Laufey, and Astro Bot are making me keep his offer in the back of my mind for now, but only if they stay exclusive.

  I was expecting a prequel, but this looks way more interesting! I think the burning dude is Ifrit, which may make the woman Shiva…? She mentioned Sekmet after that bright light. And that strange mask of Odin’s is somehow related? So much potential here!!

  Also, if this is the afterlife of the gods, then it seems like there would be a ton of Greeks who’d love to meet Laufey once they realize who her husband is…

    The flaming guy seems to be Begtse, the/a tibetan/mongol God/lord of war and the woman is Sekhmet a egyptain God of war, sickness and/or healing.
    Sorry for the many slashes. Polytheism is complex and I know not nearly enough about these pantheons to make definitive statements.

    I don’t know if that guy is Ifrit, but the woman had some subtle egyptian designs in her outfit.

  Not sure how I feel about choosing Laufey as Protagonist. But gameplaywise, it looks lit as always.

    What do you mean?

    She’s clearly a badass. I totally get it now why she was with Kratos.

  Wasn't this game about mythology?

  • ColdWater@lemmy.ca ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    You’re looking at a mythology game
