I wish to buy and play god of war ragnarok

 

[RoboFu]

I’ve been on media black out.. I didn’t even know Thor was in this.. thanks for the spoiler.

 

[Elder Legend]

Pretty impressive (leaked video)

Got in touch with my contact a few hours before this thread went up, they told me thanks for flagging and took it down. What a fucking chad I am I know.

 

[Gobjuduck]

"this doesnt look impressive" reply incoming.

It doesn’t. It looks exactly like GoW 2018. Thor’s fight is less exciting than Baldur’s.

 

[Spukc]

Did they say how far into the game it was?

Omega early it seems

 

[Elder Legend]

This thread makes me laugh so hard. I've beaten the game a week ago and now doing it again on max difficulty. Seeing people making predictions when you already know everything is for some odd reason fucking hilarious to me.

 

[HumanoidSharks]

Well that was boring.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

YT has lots of leaks. I just watched it on a video that says only 65 views.

Small spoilers

Spoiler

Weird how they make a giant fat and muscular THOR warp around at light speed. You'd think they'd make him more of a bull charging hulk. Also, the dialogue is cringeworthy. Nothing like two behemoths clashing and representing ancient mythology and they are saying "Fucking" and "dumbass" at each other.

From the leaked footage I’ve seen so far (somewhat limited), dialogue is filled with cursing. It’s like borderlands 2 lol

 

[JimmyF]

How many of those viewers were wanking!? Those are the true numbers.

And also dumb lines like:

Spoiler

After the fight where Thor leaves and Kratos gets up, those guards in the background (I think they're soldiers) said something stupid like... "Wow, that was some fight"

 

[RJMacready73]

Sucks when this happens especially if you're heavily invested in the franchise, was an absolute ball ache avoiding all spoilers for TLOU2 for months before I got the game as for this one, whilst I really enjoyed the first one, this really does look like a continuation of the first and far too similar, I'll grab when heavily discounted like Forbidden West

Comparing this to Borderlands because of a few little swear words?

Good lord the stupidity

 

[Kamina]

A few spoilers in that video but mostly just a long outdrawn battle.
There are other GoWR videos around that spoil by only reading the title.

Also, Anthony Burch wrote for the game, It shows in the dialogue.

 

[Imtjnotu]

Did they say how far into the game it was?

It's the beginning

 

[cormack12]

I am curious as to whether the second game is going to start literally where the ending of the first started (the ending where Thor just turns up at the door)

 

[Spaceman292]

Is this serious or sarcastic?

Can't tell.

Wow, imagine someone enjoying something. What a loser.

 

[Twinblade]

November 9th, hurry the fuck up.

 

[Apocryphon]

Meh.

Fight goes on far too long and Thors constant quips are irritating as fuck. I'm sure the game will be plenty enjoyable like it's predecessor, but this fight did not excite me at all.

 

[hussar16]

Looks like a ps4 game I'm not hyped

 

[FUBARx89]

Game reviewer must of been playing that leaked footage looked like it was easy mode & they where awful.

 

[Buggy Loop]

remember that early fight in GoW this is about the same level

So garbage fight

 

[Spukc]

So garbage fight

 

[Kenpachii]

Yea that was pretty bad.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Had the same feeling while watching those leaks a week ago or so. That dude curses a lot and he does it in a modern kind of way, so he ends up looking like a fat drunk instead of a mythological figure.

I dunno, maybe the writting overall isn't as bad as that particular scene.

Cute Isabeau avatar btw.

 

[Arachnid]

Also, Anthony Burch wrote for the game, It shows in the dialogue.

Well that's extremely disappointing. Stupid dialogue. :/

 

[DenchDeckard]

What's with this bad dialogue I'm seeing....what happened to the writers from the first game?

They decided to hire the diversity crowd for this game.

Anthony Burch and Alanah Pearce.

Lmfao

Just saw some major spoilers and damn the writing and even the voice acting is really bad.

 

[Heylon]

Where can I get my hands on an early copy of GoW Ragnarok? So many seem to be playing it already.

 

[Negotiator101]

The 2018 GOW wasn't exactly Shakespeare.

I missed them. Didnt know the leaks already happened a week ago.

I can only go by the leaked fight scene I saw today, so I have no idea how good the writing is for the rest of the game, but the script for that fight is atrocious. It's like they are trying blend together an epic battle between gods with modern day insults. It's like that movie 20 years ago which combined young celebs in medieval times with rock music trailers.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

That was so boring.

 

[CZY]

Is it one of the most popular games? It sold something like 20 millions which, according to wikipedia, doesn't really put it on the top 50.

How many games have there been? You’re dismissing “top 50” like it’s nothing? Lol. Lmao even.

 

[The Chairman]

The 2018 GOW wasn't exactly Shakespeare.

The new one is on another level.

 

[NT80]

I’ve been on media black out.. I didn’t even know Thor was in this.. thanks for the spoiler.

How could you think he wouldn't be?

 

[Punished Miku]

The 2018 GOW wasn't exactly Shakespeare.

Yeah, I've been quietly sitting here wondering if anyone actually thought the story was good in the last one. Game is great, but it's a pretty basic story that services the excellent gameplay.

 

[ReBurn]

How could you think he wouldn't be?

The title of the game gives away the inclusion of the Norse gods. Thor's name in the title of a NeoGAF thread is no spoiler.

 

[onesvenus]

I would like to think this is a joke....but.

I have never seen so many ppl dismiss 10 million and 20 million selling games before.

When did a ending limit for popularity start? So....I guess you dont think Elden Ring is popular until it makes this list...

Cool.

Also TIL Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Fortnite aren't popular games.

You should know there's a difference between being "one of the most popular games" vs being "a popular game". I agree with the second, not the first.

How many games have there been? You’re dismissing “top 50” like it’s nothing? Lol. Lmao even.

I'm not dismissing anything. I'd expect one of the "most popular" games to be in that list. Note that popular is not also an indicator for a game quality

 

[abacab driver]

Wooooow..

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Wooooow..

I dont think I've ever heard the term All-Fucker before.

Thank god I'm not a betting man.

If Draft Kings had a bet choosing the origins of the term between a bunch basketball hustlers and a mythical deity, I would had lost my mortgage money betting the ballers.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Thanks for the spoiler in title...

(GOW is still in my backlog)

 

[blastprocessor]

I see the end boss fight is leaked

 

[RoboFu]

How could you think he wouldn't be?

he could have been an ally or just an npc in the story. No one knew for sure but we do now.

 

[Badlucktroll]

I want to know if Kratos winds up in Egypt

 

[shiru]

Sequel to one of the best and most popular games ever made. The hype is real in my circle

People have been waiting for this game for years now.

Overhyped tripe.

I miss old GoW.

 

[Elder Legend]

Thanks for the spoiler in title...

(GOW is still in my backlog)

Game is 4 years old and Thor was in marketing material FOR GOW Ragnarok. Not sure how this is a spoiler really.

 

[3liteDragon]

Seeing people making predictions when you already know everything

What do you mean by know everything?

 

[Elder Legend]

What do you mean by know everything?

I beat the game a week ago... I know the ending and the bosses. Review copy since 21st of October.

Reveiws go up November 3rd

Launch embargo is the 8th.
