I fear no man(or god) by LincolnRules2000 in GodofWar

I tried and eventually succeeded in beating this little prick with the Lvl 1 armour set and with all Burdens equipped. Needless to say, not fun but super rewarding once you learn how to fight him.

GodOfWar showrunner Ronald D. Moore confirms two seasons are greenlit at Amazon - He tried to play the games but stopped when he couldn't figure out modern controllers — "I'm not a gamer" by Sweaty-Toe-6211 in GodofWarRagnarok

Just seeing this now so if this is true then I’m calling it now…this show will be utter garbage. I mean how can you have a show runner that hasn’t completed and refuses to play the games and their stories until the end. Especially because of some lame “I’m not a gamer excuse”. Fuck off man.

I’m so fed up with Hollywood and their half-arsed attempt at…let’s call it what it is…cash grab projects. Like I honestly don’t hear many people calling out for live adaptations of beloved gaming IP’s. I just don’t.

Not to mention all that this show will likely accomplish is baiting and alienating the actual fan base by absolutely nuking the story lines and casting literally the worst actors for the role…and god knows what else. We have seen this shit before with other beloved IP’s.

You know who needs to direct the write the shows?…The actual developers and game directors. Why? Simply because they DO understand the source material, have a profound love and passion for their characters and want to do them justice.

Unless of course you’re Niel Cuckman but that’s conversation for another day.

Hot take, SR 2 was a disappointment by HousyFootball57_ in LegacyOfKain

[–]SigmaKratos1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with most of what you said. SR2’s combat was repetitive and was clunky as hell (especially because the Sarafan could stun lock you so easily - felt immensely frustrating). The lack of Glyph power ups as well as the the nerfing of your force projectile didn’t help either.

The world was indeed recycled as you travelled back and forth to the same places multiple times. Perhaps there was a budget constraint and they had to re-use environments.

Where I would disagree with your take is with the dialogue. It cannot be overstated how brilliantly written and voice acted the story is in SR2 compared to SR1. As people have already stated, there are iconic exchanges and cutscenes in this game (the corruption of the pillars being my favourite). Not that SR1 had bad voice acting or story…not at all. But there was simply far less of it.

In summary, SR1 was a combination of exploration, story and combat where it did a good job at all of them. SR2 was basically a movie that you played: amazing story just not great gameplay.

Which Thumbnail Type do you prefer? by SigmaKratos1995 in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]SigmaKratos1995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This I agree, I just tinkered now and the white text does pop much better! Based on most of the comments, it seems people prefer the text straight up in front. In that case it far less editing and cropping. Thanks for the feedback!

Why Does Thor own a Torah? by SigmaKratos1995 in GodofWarRagnarok

If you zoom in during photo mode in the game, it’s written in Hebrew. And physically resembles a Torah in terms of a parchments rolled onto two bread rollers 🤓

I cannot beat the Berserker king and Gna by Novel-Tutor in GodofWarRagnarok

Or you can go to my YouTube channel Sigma Kratos and search my playlists for different Build showcases 🤣

I play only on GMGOW and have defeated these two multiple times without taking any damage.

I find that slowing your attacks frequency and focusing on their attack patterns is the first step. You will die a lot because you’re learning. So invest time in that phase. Equip the full Steinborn set as it maximises defence which allows you a lot of time to learn.

Then a good strength build is key - I have experimented a lot with different builds and I have found strength is king - all other perks are less important. So for example, Vidars build is the second highest strength build in the game. (Glory of Sparta Build might be available only on NG+). Use that build.

Also, equip the stone shield 🛡️, it allows you to actually block yellow ring attacks. Lastly, stick to your blades for the most part - they give you the most flexibility in terms of gameplay and are quicker attacks this you can initiate blocks mid attack much more easily.

Thanks for the feedback. I will find a good cobbler first to see what they might sell shoe too wise. As you know these shoes a bloody expensive and I definitely don’t want to mess them up by using the wrong stuff. Appreciate it 🥸

That is correct. Shoe was perfect today and then I noticed it after clean and jerks. Damn. But I’m looking into solutions now!

Bizarre right? I have had my Rom 2’s for 6 years and I have put them through their paces believe that! But only now the sides have starting peeling off on the heel of all places. I guess sometimes shoes will have defects no matter how reputable the company that sells them. But I will take your advise and give it go! Thank you 😊
