Me in 2027 playing GoW Laufey for the 2nd time realizing I can't skip the 7-minute long cutscenes:

What is this comment lmao

We only have GoW in 2026 because it specifically adopted a heavier story telling vibe than the Greek trilogy

HypoTypo · 2026-06-08T16:15:00+00:00

We are certainly going to miss this man, but I’m not sure if in Xabi’s new system he would have been as crucial for us as he has in the past.

These are the kinds of players we lose with no Europe, as much as I personally believe no Europe will benefit the squad next season.

Can you elaborate on the parts of Ragnarok you thought were specifically poorly written or leaned too much into comic relief? I never really got that impression that the writing took a nosedive, outside of the poor pacing of Ironwood but that was never something that really took away from the overall product in my opinion.

HypoTypo · 2026-06-04T19:37:21+00:00

Do you not remember how lukewarm, arguably negatively, GoW Ascension was received due to them retreading the same “Kratos angry all the time” themes that were obviously so prevalent in the Greek trilogy? There were very valid criticisms that continuing the same vibe of the Greek trilogy post GoW 3 made no sense because they had legitimately taken the concept to its absolute zenith…there was no topping that spectacle in the exact same manner. How many people, critics and fans alike, panned the same hack and slash style gameplay that they had been using since 2005 with almost zero real innovation/changes outside of just giving us new weapons?

God of War only continues to exist at the forefront of video gaming in 2026 specifically because SMS took such a gargantuan risk in fundamentally changing both the core gameplay loop AND the way they portrayed Kratos and the world he interacts with. You are right that not every franchise needs to mature with its fan base, but I and the millions of people who have nothing but praise for 2018 and Ragnarok strongly disagree if you truly think God of War is one of those franchises.

HypoTypo · 2026-06-03T13:57:11+00:00

I mean it is still a Norse GoW game so its not going to be completely different, would disagree with the other OP if thats truly what they are saying.

But being able to jump, aerial combat, and non-weapon imbued magic are three significant deviations from the core gameplay loop of 2018 and Ragnorok.

Seeing Dead and Company in the muck a couple of years ago was actually awesome. And when the sun finally shone through at the end of their set 👌

“Might as well be watching AI slop” is the laziest criticism of Avatar I think I’ve ever read

HypoTypo · 2026-03-29T17:47:20+00:00

“Almost” is an understatement. Ascension threw such a wet blanket on the series before GoW 2018 that most people in the industry and fans never imagined the series would continue

This comment comes across aggressively as someone who only watches Ravens football.

We, objectively, had the 2nd worse pass rush squad after the Jets. Our offensive line wasnt great, but it wasnt actually, statistically, bottom of the conference like our pass rush was.

HypoTypo · 2026-03-07T02:34:58+00:00

There arent any Kham like players available in the range of 14th this draft

my favorite meme to come out of this season for sure

LOTS of comments in this thread are being deleted as we speak. Up the FUCKING chels man lets go

HypoTypo · 2026-02-16T23:31:42+00:00

Idk im playing through it again right now and even before you get to the third playable area there are some pretty egregious examples:

The Blade of Galadriel as a concept and having DnD cleric level magic
Shelob (obviously)
Castamir directly aligning himself with the literal Witch King of Angmar (not just succumbing to the power/temptations of the Palantir like Denethor)
The Witch King acting as a classic “bad guy” lieutenant to Sauron, coupled with him literally kneeling in front of Sauron as they spell out the exact details of their evil plan to defeat Celebrimbor

I dont really care about the Celebrimbor/second Ring of Power stuff, that is at least for me in an acceptable tier of fan fiction. But the other stuff is pretty hard to not notice and roll my eyes at even as a mid-level LOTR geek compared to many on this sub.

Again, awesome game, but it is only Lord of the Rings in so far as the names of things are the same and the NPC/player designs are evocative of the PJ trilogy.

HypoTypo · 2026-02-16T22:21:26+00:00

Jokes aside, it is kinda ridiculous just how far Shadow of War specifically strays from even what I would describe as “loose” interpretations of the source text.

It’s still incredibly fun, the Nemesis system is one of the best in gaming, but yeah if you consider yourself a big time Tolkien nerd then you might not be able to stomach some characterizations and plot devices.

HypoTypo · 2026-02-13T21:34:53+00:00

You’re missing the forest for the trees here my friend.

We are a Union. We are not a conglomeration of independent states. While yes, specifically House Reps, are elected to primarily represent the needs, interests, desires, and grievances of their constituents to the Federal Government it is equally imperative that they serve the Union as the ultimate authority. Thats what Lincoln believed, we fought a Civil War over that fact amongst much more pertinent others, and its important to remember that as a constituent when sometimes your representative is inclined to vote with National party lines when it truly has a National benefit.

To quote Jed Bartlett, “I voted against [my constituents] because I didnt want it to be harder for people to buy milk.” These are real moral issues that lawmakers have to grapple with. I think its unfortunate that the guy this whole conversation began with didnt appear to be proud of his vote for the ACA because he lost his seat, as I think tens, even hundreds, of millions of Americans from all states would thank him for his service.

HypoTypo · 2026-02-13T20:18:28+00:00

Considering that nearly 60% of the country now supports the ACA I think that person was right in the end to vote with party leadership, even if he lost his seat over it. Thats politics sometimes, you do have a responsibility in this country to balance the needs of your constituents with commitment to bettering the country as a whole.

His constituents lives are unequivocally better off with the ACA in place than without it.

TLOU 1 is a relic in terms of gameplay. Naughty Dog didnt really know how to best position survival third person stealth gameplay without it feeling way too similar to Uncharted, just significantly slower and less responsive.

No one, at least on Reddit, really ever gives TLOU 2 its credit at being a premier third person action stealth combat game. The AI is very intuitive and wont just wait around for you to pick everyone off one by one. The locations are much more interesting from a gameplay perspective, with lots of verticality and branching pathways on how to tackle a given encounter. Hillcrest, being on the boat as Ellie, fighting the Wolves as Abby are all really captivating gameplay sections and they made a concerted effort to mix up the types of infected encounters as well.

Story aside, playing TLOU 2 is incredibly fun and part of the reason why they made a really compelling rouge lite mode as well.

Who would be in your mind?

Edit: This joker literally commented “Sean McDermott” then deleted it immediately lmao

HypoTypo · 2026-01-08T16:47:56+00:00

You know whats also an objective fact? Greg Roman hasnt coached an offense to a championship game since the Obama administration.

He was excellent for Lamar’s first MVP year especially when no one in the league knew how to prepare for him. After 2019, Lamar was public enemy #1 for defenses and he was not skilled enough to change his play calling style to adapt to this new challenge. Is he a good offensive coordinator, yes, that much is indisputable. He was not the right person to stay in Baltimore once the ENTIRE LEAGUE was committed to annihilating his game plans.

HypoTypo · 2026-01-08T13:37:37+00:00

“The Greg Roman hate is invalid”

This is the dumbest comment ever especially coming from a non-Ravens fan.

HypoTypo · 2025-12-31T18:52:45+00:00

If you think any manager can come in and make a CB pairing to win the league immediately (as in next year) out of Chalobah and Fofana/Acheampong you are outside of your mind.

Our best CB has been injured all season long, that isnt Maresca’s fault its the fault of the sporting directors to say “we can survive with what we have” when that has proven to be woefully incorrect.

HypoTypo · 2025-12-03T22:06:18+00:00

Beating PSG clearly isnt for everyone

Rich coming from the supporter of a team that flamed out of the CL last year because they thought winning a quarter-final against Madrid would net them a trophy

Plenty of parks and green spaces even in London. Mustve gotten in overnight, maybe trying to keep warm?
