    I’ve never played any of the God of War games. If I jumped in with the newest one would I feel lost?

     

    With the uncharted series, I liked the 2nd best for the single player and the 3rd for multiplayer. I thought uncharted 4 was a step back... still good but not as good. I still can’t understand why they got rid of grenade throwback, that was a pretty key addition in U3.

    You don't necessarily need to know anything about Kratos to jump into the new God of War, although it definitely helps. Just know that he is a Spartan who killed a lot of gods, including Ares to become the God of War himself. You could always go into a God of War recap on Youtube. Here's one I Google'd quickly that's only 7 minutes.

     

    Some of that stuff even I didn't know, as I never played the PSP titles.

     

    Basically, after everything that happened with Kratos in the Greek mythological world, he now finds himself in Midgard in Norse mythology. So, even long time fans are as blind as anyone else, especially considering he stabbed a sword through his stomach and crawled off a cliff at the end of the last game. So he finds himself in Midgard raising a son somehow.

    I'm hoping the sequel is still Norse Mythology and we can explore the 3 realms that we couldn't in this game. But I trust that team 100% after this game. I love how much time Sony gives their devs. Ubisoft and EA should take note.

    I think they said the next 2 are Norse 100%. They might dive into the other ones during the next 2, who knows? There's hints of other mythologies in Tyr's temple or whatever. Barlog said he originally wanted to go Egyptian first for this game, but I'm glad he went Norse first because I'm much more familiar with it. Obviously I would have played and likely loved it either way, but because I watched Vikings and other stuff with Thor/Odin etc it was cool seeing it all in the game.


    Just like my first time playing God of War on the PS2. Around the same time somewhat I was learning about Greek mythology in English class or whatever class it was, and I was acing it because of God of War. :lol:

    I haven't logged on to my PS4 in quite awhile, what are the freebies this (may if still there/june) month?

    XCOM2 and Trials Fusion for June. Trials is that sidescroller dirtbike climbing game. XCOM2 is the very popular turn based highly rated alien shooter.

     

    I think the May ones are gone now. They were Beyond: Two Souls and Rayman Legends.

    Both of those obviously to give hype to the Detroit: Become Human game from the Beyond developer, and the Rayman remaster or whatever.

     

    To add on to this @c00kies, I think the games might be changing on Tuesday? I was able to go on the store this morning and get Beyond: Two Souls, which I've been meaning to play for years. I meant to get around to playing it before I buy Detroit: Become Human because I liked Heavy Rain a lot.

    Yep the Norse mythology was so interesting I spent time just googling and learning more about it and the world. I also watched endless videos with Cory Barlog talking about the game and the mythology. I didn't want to platinum it right away because I want a reason to go back to the game soon lol. Everything about it is just so satisfying. Combat was insanely good. Unfortunately there likely won't be any DLC but I already can't wait for the sequel! So much better than the original trilogy (which was still good).

     

    That's fair, Uncharted 4 was a solid game. For me the best exclusives on PS4 are Bloodborne, The Last of Us and God of War. I'd even throw Ratchet and Clank in there but that's more of a niche game that I always loved. Also never played Horizon so I don't have an opinion on it.

     

    Yeah, I've watched those Barlog videos too. It's so interesting what directions they can go now with this franchise. It's too bad about the DLC, but I think it's expected. There's just a ton of content and you don't want to take away from the sequel by throwing anything into DLC. I'm only assuming they've saved the realms you can't travel to for the sequels. Plus there's the other mythologies besides Greek and Norse.

    I've almost platinumed the game now. Just probably another 30min or so of grinding Niflheim challenges. I already found all the ravens, artifacts, etc. I don't really want to be done with the game either, but I'm trying to plat it before I let people borrow it. My brother has been asking me for weeks as well as a couple of buddies.

    God of War - 10/10. I've never given a game a 10/10 before.

     

    Best game on the PS4. Fight me. If you haven't played this masterpiece do yourself a favour and PLAY IT.

     

    It's the only game I've actually cared about platinuming. I mean, besides the ones where it's easy.

     

    The only other platinums I have are Life Is Strange.....which you just platinum by taking pictures in every chapter, which isn't too hard. Then Walking Dead Telltale....which you get Plat by just completing it. :lol:

     

    God of War is amazing. I can't wait for the sequels. The Norse mythology, and learning about what I've never heard about has been great as a side as well. The combat is &^@#ing awesome.

  6. I definitely think Bo's a 1st line C, and I don't think he's hit his prime yet. Especially if he has guys like Brock or someone to fly down his wings, he will only produce even more points. He would have had his best season, possibly 60+ points if he wasn't injured this season.

     

    He has definitely looked great for Canada. I've been watching most of the games, including Pettersson's. I think it's nice that Bo's kind of overshadowed on that Canada roster. He always loves to perform when there's something to prove.

     

    Plus, he's rooming with McDavid, so not only will McDavid learn leadership qualities from him, but he can learn some skill $&!# from Jesus. He gets to practice with all those guys like Eberle, etc too so he can only benefit.

     

    I found that McDavid interview pretty funny though after the last game where Bo had 2 goals. He said something like, "He's a great ki-.....player,". Almost called him a kid even though he's older than him. :lol:

     

    Then you can Michael DiPietro with all of them as well. He gets to experience the NHL quality day to day stuff and practice with the big boys, before ever even playing in the AHL.

    Well, good on you. The only release I will buy is RDR2. Cannot wait for that game next fall. 

     

    Anyway, we're humans, some evolved, some notsomuch. We're born to run! live! breathe! adore the splendor of nature, and fight for it. 

     

    Why be a shut-in and let the most wonderful place to live in the world pass you by? I guess a lot of dudes here are city guys, why not go elsewhere with wide open spaces? a $400 canoe will get you places a ps4 contoller wont.

    Why not do both? :P

     

    My life is mostly gaming and outdoor $&!#. :lol: I go hiking almost every week. Haven't canoed yet this year but I plan on it.

    Is it just me or is there a hell of a lot less activity in this gaming sub forum?  Personally my interest in gaming is declining, I still play but I only bought one game in two years and I kind of regret it.  NBA2k and MLB the Show used to be automatic purchases but both their SP career modes took a huge step backwards unfortunately.  Didn't buy NHL for the first time ever, don't have any interest in fps games. 
     

    Besides of the next RDR, I cannot think of any game on the horizon were I am like "I must buy this"  Games are friggin $80 bucks now and pretty much all of them have some sort of micro transactions system designed to milk us for more cash.  MLB:The Show actually got rid of the micro transaction for the RTTS mode, and I commend them for that, however they made it a major grind which tbh has resulted in me not playing as much.

    That's how I feel too, but it's also because I prefer to go out and party a lot more than I used to, and even when I'm not doing that, I'm not playing games.

     

    Kingdom Hearts 3 is the only game I really care about. I've been playing older games, and might get the Spryo trilogy, but that's about it.

     

     

     

    I think it's been the same group of people posting in here about games for years now. There's been guys jumping in and out, but more or less the same group of people. I haven't really been here much either. I still play a lot of games, like God of War right now and Far Cry 5 before that, but I just haven't posted here much.

  9. Yeah, Horvat and Pettersson definitely aren't being used as much as they're used to. It's not unexpected though. Nobody should have expected Horvat to light it up with McDavid, Eberle, etc on that roster. Horvat is a gamer, and is a big game player. He's not going to tear teams apart, but he will score when a big goal is needed.


    Pettersson, he just has been getting into the swing of things. He does not look out of place at all and is constantly creating chances. That's pretty amazing to see right away. I'm sure he'll start getting some points here and there as the tourney goes on, and maybe chemistry gets a little better out there. He's doing just fine.

  10. Probably anyone could guess this, but I love the album.

     

    I didn't like 4 Your Eyez Only too much, only a few songs....but this one I like more than a few.

     

    I don't think it's as good as Born Sinner or Forest Hills Drive, or Friday Night Lights, but I still love it. ATM, Window Pain, KOD, Kevin's Heart, and some others I love. Definitely a classic for me, but I'm a Cole Stan that goes to all his shows when he's here and still jams out to a lot of his old $&!#. I know FNL isn't an album either, but it's some of his best work.

     

    I don't care much for the Cole/Kendrick debate or whatever people are saying in this thread. They're both different artists and have different sounds. &^@#, if that Kendrick/Cole collab ever drops I'm going to be HYPE.

    I'm still deciding if I'm going to spend the money for this card.

    The only time I ever pay for UFC anymore is if I'm having friends over and we go in on it. Either that or I'll go to a bar, or find other means to watch it.....other means. It's incredibly easy to not have to pay these days for sports.

     

    ....or so I hear.

  12. If Boeser doesn't score against Edmonton, I'm going to riot! 3 games pointless is too much for Brocky!

     

    Seriously though, hopefully the boys can take advantage of Edmonton's recent struggles. Boeser definitely has been playing a lot more minutes this season than he ever has in his career, so it's probably nice for him to get that bye week. Horvat returning soon should definitely spark something too.

  13. Dat moment when Bo Horvat is the featured player of January in the Canucks calendar. :wub:

     

    I think that means he's coming back in January for sure. I'm not even going to a game this season until he's back.

    ya. I played it for a few hours the other day while enjoying a couple tall beers #holidays

    I enjoyed it so far. It's certainly a different setting and I'm not sure what is really going on yet. Different engines, but you can see these games all take aspects from each other - Farcry, Tomb Raider, Witcher, Zero Dawn, which is fine but at the same time does feel a little redundant in that regard. That's one thing I appreciate about the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series - Bethesda does "it" very well like nobody else. I was watching a video about AC Origins and was thinking about it, but it's so similar to those games as well I feel like I'd be playing something very similar and not really doing anything new, so I passed on it.

    Once the Horizon story gets going, $&!# gets real interesting.

    What you guys think about Horizon Zero Dawn. I bought it because it was half price, and good reviews.

    Definitely a huge delayed response on my part, but it's my GOTY for sure. Beats out Zelda: Breath of the Wild for me.

     

    One of the best free roamers ever, with great, fluid combat. The story is amazing as well, and Aloy is an excellent protagonist to add as one of the faces of Playstation.

     

    I definitely had some open-world exhaustion for awhile there though, considering Horizon and Zelda came out within a few days of each other, so it was hard going back and forth. Ultimately, I put down Zelda for awhile so I could keep playing Horizon, which I think says a lot of which game I like better. THey're both amazing games, of course, but I think it depends on taste. Horizon is more of a tribal, sci-fi, open world, robot animal killing game with great combat. Just the things you can do with the bow, while running around, setting traps, etc. It's really good.

     

    Zelda is obviously good too, and I'm still trying to play and beat that too, but I think considering I finished Horizon's main story and side quests long ago, and almost Platinum'd it says which game I like better. The Horizon DLC is something else too. Some of the best snow physics engine ever.

  16. Horizon: Zero Dawn wins Best Storytelling and Playstation Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards.

    Ashly Burch (voice of Aloy in Horizon) wins Best Gaming Performance and Breakthrough Award.

     

    Zelda won Game of the Year, which isn't too surprising.

     

     

  17. Man, nice card, all things considered. Mighty Mouse is the &^@#ing man. Lando/Green was exciting as hell.

     

    Then Ferguson fight was as exciting, just like expected. Excited to see Tony face McGregor when it comes, loved his fighting style since TUF. He basically had to call out McG the way that he did, it's just the way it works these days to ensure the fight happens. McG probably thinking of Diaz III or GSP after Bisping fights him. He needs to defend that belt eventually.

    PS + subscription wore off, and I got automatically charged for another month, which I didn't want. Sony wouldn't refund the money, so had to go through paypal to get it back.

     

    The default should NOT be to automatically renew, but instead to give a prompt asking if you'd like to.

     

    Anyway, Sony banned my account as a result. Any idea how to fix this? They're not responding to emails.

    Threaten talking to the Better Business Bureau or something. Lol, as a kid my mom used to do that all the time and threaten to go on the news, etc whenever one of our PS2's got the light of death. Because of all the known reports about people's PS2's breaking down, she would argue they are purposely built disposable or something. It happened twice and I got 2 free PS2's and a controller out of it. :lol:

     

    I don't know. I wouldn't go as far as her as that takes some kind of work and mentality but dealing with Sony does, in fact, suck. I remember years ago with one of my PS3's it was $200 to repair my PS3, even though at the time, it was $250 for a new PS3 Slim. That was a no-brainer to just get a new one, since them repairing my PS3 would delete everything anyways. So dumb. I still have that PS3 Slim to this day too.

    There are a lot of other really fun games, but those four really stand out for me. 

    @Salacious Crumb Do not buy Metal Gear Solid. It's free next month if you get Playstation Plus. With Playstation Plus (the online subscription you buy to play online with the console, although I'm sure you know that now) you get free games every month.


    Also, right now inFAMOUS: Second Son is free on Plus if you want to try that. It's one of the launch titles for the PS4 and pretty fun. You're a guy with different elemental powers in a big city.

     

    If you liked games like Demon Hunter, you'll probably love Resogun. It's like a sidescrolling space ship shooter game too.
