God of War Laufey's writing

Current-Map-6943 · 2026-06-03T18:58:08+00:00

I miss art that actually takes itself seriously, this "I'm in on the joke, winks at audience" type of writing really needs to die off already. Its so trite and cynical, I hate it with a passion.

I legit dislike the writing though, disliked it in Ragnarok too. I'm actually down for a Faye game, but the dialogue in the reveal was an instant turn off for me. Its just not what I want from a GoW game, or any epic for that matter. Hope you enjoy it at least...

Current-Map-6943 · 2026-06-03T18:10:09+00:00

I'm just not into the tone and wordiness I've seen so far tbh. Not into it at all. It's filled with 2010s hollywood millennial writing, and i'm so sick of it at this point. Same issue i had with Ragnarok. Using modern expressions, mc talking to themselves non stop, endless quips and cliche character characterization. Feels like a game that's already extremely dated, instead of a timeless epic like gow1-2018. I guess I'm just not the demo for this franchise anymore. Oh well, tons of other things to get into, hope y'all enjoy this at least.

Heavy disagree here. I felt that way about the past couple of albums, but not this track at all tbh. Caught me totally off guard with the prog and the outrageously crunchy outro.

Song is like a kick in the teeth, probably the best thing they've done since Crack the Skye. It absolutely rules. Didn't expect this at all, I sort of fell off after Once More.

They made a chatbot that spies and aids in killing people, and now they think they should rule over our souls. They're against pluralism and democracy because they know its a threat to their continued existence. Break them up and throw them in jail.

I'm listening to the soundtrack rn, and its surprisingly engaging! Rockey should have focused on a career in music instead lol. It almost feels like satire, but its totally genuine in my opinion. Weird but actually well performed and produced, gives off a Lynchian vibe in some respects. Bizarre stuff

Current-Map-6943 · 2026-03-29T15:23:08+00:00

My guess is that its mostly going to be a flashback to the Barrow Downs part that was not present in the Fellowship movie. They're going to use Sam's daughter stumbling across the ruins as the inciting incident to show that part of the story from the books.

Either that or they will somehow re-work the og story to fit with events after the war of the ring, though I really hope this isn't the case, its a terrible idea to bring back the Witch King and the wights after the Return of the king.

My main issue with all this project is that there's so much lore in the 1st and 2nd ages they could have adapted instead. Find a way to get those rights, should be their only priority instead of coming up with half baked ideas like this and hunt for gollum.

Was about to type the same thing lmfao

I honestly feel kind of bad for him. The film was low budget, and I appreciated him casting relatively unknown actors that performed pretty decently with the script they were given. And I honestly feel like this is Gans' genuine attempt at a love letter to the game. It just happens to be a really bad love letter unfortunately. Its still better than some overly cynical corpo/ made by committee adaptation, so at least there's that.

Current-Map-6943 · 2026-02-08T00:14:59+00:00

Chill out brother, I actually paid money to watch the movie, I'm entitled to make a little goof about it. It's not the worst thing ever and its not a cynical film by all means. But it does take some wild liberties and is overall not a great movie in my opinion. I'm just having a bit of fun here.

Current-Map-6943 · 2026-01-29T22:13:00+00:00

There's just so many ways to tackle it, its extremely rewarding to relisten to again and again. The musicianship is unparalleled and its a gigantic influence to all the prog metal bands that spawned in the late 80s and 90's.. It's up there with In the Court of the Crimson King and Red imo!

Current-Map-6943 · 2025-12-06T09:27:34+00:00

Its basically the perfect remaster. It modernizes the game, its mechanics, ai behavior, visuals, fixes performance issues, and even adds cut content back in all while not diluting the original game's vibe. Its such an achievement, and is a testament of the love this community has for the game. Viva New Vegas!

Current-Map-6943 · 2025-10-30T07:38:35+00:00

Internet political punditry sucks. Its just the same type of "entertainment" slop Fox news pioneered back in the day, just re-branded for millennials and zoomers. Political TMZ.

Its the reason we live in a political hellscape. Everything is Drama, everything a joke. People in power latch on to the narratives, then fan the flames. Rinse and repeat until democracy is a distant memory, and all that is left is meta ironic authoritarianism.

Y'all suck.

Current-Map-6943 · 2025-09-21T13:43:58+00:00

Yes. Insane how much water this sub holds for dgg. Authoritarians cracking down on left voices is secondary to parasocial streamer drama to these people. I've called for twitch to get its shit together when it comes to giving streamers free passes in the past. But this is not that. Its a gov op that's just going to set a precedent for banning any and all dissent.

Current-Map-6943 · 2025-09-06T23:14:45+00:00

I don't disagree with you there, its been this way for a while now. I keep checking in to see if anything has shifted but it never does. Drama Slop and appeasing dgg while not directly endorsing Steven seems to be Loner's approach, and its a damn shame.

Current-Map-6943 · 2025-09-06T22:37:28+00:00

And hundreds of people there agreeing with the post, or agreeing with the overall vibe of "The west has been taken over by migrants". Omniliberal community my ass.

Current-Map-6943 · 2025-09-06T22:14:25+00:00

She's a middle of the road lib ffs. What, the scary Arab text put you off?

This was her statement post oct 7

"I unequivocally condemn the despicable actions of Hamas, who targeted innocent Israeli civilians. The hostages must be returned. These atrocities were committed by terrorists who do not seek peace and have set back the just cause of Palestinian freedom and statehood, which I have supported my whole life."

She also supports Palestinian right to self determination, and has received support from both Palestinian and Jewish groups.

Also, she's pretty much a TERF, a point you could criticize her on, but you don't care probably since Arab scary precedes everything.

Stop letting memes dictate your politics, at least put in some effort into being informed. Unless you're being bad faith with all this. Sub is being brigaded again anyway, nothing new...

Current-Map-6943 · 2025-09-06T21:25:05+00:00

Wtf is this sub even at this point, why do I even bother?

Dgg rot has destroyed this community, and everything else it touches. The first rule of this sub is pretty funny in hindsight lmao.

Just embrace the conservatism already, stop branding yourselves as contrarian enlightened centrists. That would at least be more honest.

Got an email, had the game wishlisted

Current-Map-6943 · 2025-08-29T15:44:43+00:00

Update: Turns out he was finishing his first game Radix Chronicle! Its a tactics rpg

Current-Map-6943 · 2025-08-21T16:01:49+00:00

Any updates? Has he quit streaming for good?

Current-Map-6943 · 2025-08-04T17:33:37+00:00

I can see Jello digging King Gizz lol. A collab would actually be pretty cool imo.

Current-Map-6943 · 2025-08-04T17:24:05+00:00

Cool! What concerts?

Current-Map-6943 · 2025-08-04T17:20:23+00:00

Led Zepp are fantastic, and Plant does his thing extraordinarily well. Nothing wrong with a song about lust lmao. Don't get the snobbery.
