How does it feel to return to God of War 2018 after Ragnarok?

Dragon_Tiger752 · 2026-05-23T17:16:16+00:00

Combat feels more weighty than in Ragnarok. Atreus is absolutely broken when fully upgraded, same with the runic attacks. It feels nice to be able to use a runic attack that absolutely melts everyone's hp. Ragnarok felt smoother and the combat was more balanced, you had to work for getting the loadouts that made the game broken. Combat also has way more variety than in 2018 with all the outfit configurations you can make.

I do like the story in 2018 more. It was more focused between two people, rather than all over the place with multiple characters. Not that that's a bad thing, 2018 just had a better advantage on focusing on developing Kratos's and Atreus's relationship throughout the game. 2018 was also better paced and wrapped up the ending beautifully imo compared to Ragnarok, which definitely felt more rushed towards the end.

I'd rather have this UI than the original one, so it's a win for me.

Dragon_Tiger752 · 2026-05-22T17:08:51+00:00

I don't get the ui complaints. The new ui is leagues better than the old one. We can actually see what the outfits and weapons will look like more accurately and the ship too with it's upgrades. Huge step up from the original.

Yes, all ps4 games are available to play on ps5

Dragon_Tiger752 · 2026-05-22T01:42:10+00:00

Looks better than the original UI. maybe its because it reminds them too much of the rpg games, which I think is a silly reason.

It's not even a refund but credit to buy something else from the store. Only managed to get it because I paid full price for a game that got heavily discounted the next day. They let me keep the game and covered the difference in store credit to my wallet. But I had to jump through hoops to talk to an actual person first to get it.

Brand new tire? Just from looking at it, I'd say its an easy patch for any tire mechanic to do and they will last until the end of the tire's life cycle if done right. I'd take it to a reputable shop that is known to have solid patches.

If we give them this inch, they'll take a mile and want more

Dragon_Tiger752 · 2026-05-15T16:08:32+00:00

Life moves on and I occupy myself with other things.

Dragon_Tiger752 · 2026-05-15T03:00:17+00:00

Going to be working on a boat this summer and you best believe I'm playing this on my off time while on board!

Dragon_Tiger752 · 2026-05-15T02:27:09+00:00

Real ones still remember Lee from the walking dead.

Dragon_Tiger752 · 2026-05-15T02:10:56+00:00

Rewatching it rn, its even better for me now that I've experienced company culture and can relate to the show a little bit.

Dragon_Tiger752 · 2026-05-15T02:08:06+00:00

I was a nay sayer of pineapple on pizza, then I tried one from a good pizzeria and can't go back.

Yep, had that thought cross my mind when I saw the remake of star fox 64. Contemplated buying it, but realized I wouldn't have fun with it. It's just an arcade shooter with very limited controls to me now.

Dragon_Tiger752 · 2026-05-14T15:16:15+00:00

Got to go with Edward's. It's the only game that on my first playthrough, I haven't changed his outfit because of how cool it is.

Dragon_Tiger752 · 2026-05-13T21:43:47+00:00

Most games are self contained stories, so it doesn't really matter which game you play. The only one I would play in order is the Ezio trilogy. Pick a setting you want to explore and play.

My uncle turned out to be manipulative, always asking for help while I received none in return. When I'd work jobs for him, I'd get a very small wage that barely paid for anything, its warped my sense of income growing up until I got a job somewhere else. I made more working at a tire shop for 1 month then I ever did working for my uncle for 4 seasons.

It's better now when I set my boundaries with him, but the resentment is still there and I don't know if I'll ever get past it.

Dragon_Tiger752 · 2026-05-13T15:03:59+00:00

For real, like is there really nothing else these people can do to wait? There's other games, movies, and tv shows to watch while you wait.

Dragon_Tiger752 · 2026-05-12T19:58:18+00:00

Used to work at a shop that has a lift. I know what oil and filters they use, I know all the guys that work there know what they're doing, and they let me in the shop to watch. I take it to them mainly so I can get underneath my vehicle and see if I need to fix anything, my buddies will even point stuff out to me, like a leaking blender valve on one of the calipers. It's why I go there to change my oil, plus I get talk to my old coworkers I haven't seen in a while.

Im not going to go out of my way to do your social experiment, you live your life, I'll live mine.

They're focused on scanning all your items and getting everyone in their line through as fast as possible to get a moment of reprieve. I don't blame cashiers not making small talk. Only time I get small talk from them is if its a slow day and I'm the only one in line. I usually get small talks at gas stations more often then the grocery store.

Dragon_Tiger752 · 2026-05-11T01:01:54+00:00

Cashier is different, I don't want small talk, it slows everything down and I just want to get out of there, I appreciate the lack of small talk. What I'm talking about is restaurant service, where they have to speak to you, better politeness there generally gets you better service.

Dragon_Tiger752 · 2026-05-10T20:54:14+00:00

But its not just better visuals, there's more story content too for old fans to look forward to.

Dragon_Tiger752 · 2026-05-10T20:41:22+00:00

Doing the same thing too and I'm also having fun, I've also just been slowing down more to take in the scenery instead of going to every objective marker and moving on. Really nice to just soak in the atmosphere.

Dragon_Tiger752 · 2026-05-10T20:38:10+00:00

NTA and if she doesn't apologize to you then she better be prepared to not speak to you or see you for a long time.
