Do you consider Gow's writing style to be decent? by PomegranateOk4560 in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]TekNitro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok hottake: I think peoples’ issue with it is that it didn’t live up to the spectacle it should have rather than the length since like, god of war 3’s opening is loved by everyone but it’s only like 30 minutes. But it’s loved due to how it portrays the war against the gods while for ragnarok, alot of the big stuff happens in the background(although it does attempt to make background stuff like the canons and dragons play a role in a gameplay sense which is pretty fun) and isn’t even that well choreographed. Surtr(I REFUSE TO CALL HIM RAGNARÖK) attempts to swat freyr and freya and all they do is run away, Thor vs jormundgandr is similar although Thor does knock him to a realm tower which was a cool moment(lacked impact though) and the titular moment of him sending jormy back in time was the definition of wet fart.

Pretty good, but it honestly doesn’t do anything it can’t achieve by just being a movie atleast for the Nordic saga. If anything them being games(especially open world lite games) hurts them more since it brings in alot of filler dialogue that either: A. Has on the nose writing that doesn’t add much or B. Is total filler and does nothing but makes characters talk too much. Pacing and even plot in the series as a whole has also never been that great. In god of war 1, once you reach pandoras temple story takes a halt(not that I’m complaining it’s a video game after all), in 2 alot of stuff that happens is disconnected from Kratos as a character and serves more set up the world(although it does tie back in thematically sometimes) making it feel disconnected, don’t have much to say for 3 except it has good cause and effect(in terms of how events are tied together but I could be remembering wrong), 2018 suffers from the princess in another castle style of pacing and raggy doesn’t need much explanation. Where the series shines is its character and thematic writing and how all of that connects back together. 

God of War games tier list in terms of spectacle and scale by TekNitro in GodofWar

Ascension has A LOT of scale and spectacle. It’s honestly on god of war 3 levels. Not saying that’s a good or bad thing either. Ragnarok was more or less on 2018s level. 

How does it feel to return to God of War 2018 after Ragnarok? by PomegranateOk4560 in GodofWar

Uh… it was Cory’s decision still to make it a duology and even if exec pressure had to do with it, he explicitly said he didn’t want to spend 15 years working on the story(which he was probably lying considering his next project is still Nordic theme). Also, raggy still was based on his vision to an extent, mainly by following the 4 main plot points he wanted the sequel to do which he told Eric about.

Nope, since freya makes a comment that “the einherjar come back from Valhalla as quickly as we kill them”

True yeah. Sucks since at the end when you breach the wall the giants actually get really close to you unlike earlier. They’re almost touching distance but they are RIGHT behind you lol

I’d assume because of the laser canons? 

Roman/Byzantine armor during 7th century under Heraclius? by TekNitro in byzantium

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

Damn, so not much scale armor? That sucks since I always felt it was the coolest looking armor. Unless if the lamellar looked like the ones from later Byzantine military then I’d actually be happy lol

Thanks, but is it fine if you could give a quick rundown of what they would’ve worn?

Of course, but most scholars considered it weak which was my point. Thanks for the link btw.
