So GoW Ragnarok game size on PS4 is 90 GB+.....

Yeeeeeesh....

On the one hand, a bigger game, yay (and lol at the "DLC!" peeps). On the other hand, RIP my PS4 lol.

90 GB+ for non-sandbox and non-multiplayer game like GoW is actually very huge.

This is nothing, Gears of War 4 I heard could exceed 250+ GB

The Last of Us Part II is 100GB.

The Last of Us Part II is 100GB.

those are free disk space needed for installing the game not the true file size game.


for example TLOU 2 requires 100 GB of free space to download and will occupy a snug 78.3 GB on your drive after installation which still less than GoW 90GB

 

[Lilixa]

This is nothing, Gears of War 4 I heard could exceed 250+ GB

btw i just realized that 250GB+ due to multiplayer and 4K textures, bunch of maps assets and multiplayer content which does not contribute to file size of game main story. Gears of War 5 size only around 37GB

I saw a theory that Angrboda is Tyr's daughter and her mother is an Egyptian God since Tyr seems to have more of a connection with Eygpt than the other pantheons he visited. I've seen this theory being used as a way to explain why most of her and Atreus' children are creatures and animals like, because Egyptian Gods are typically depicted as animal/humanoids

Yeah the reddit "leak" claimed this too. I believe it.

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

The reddit leak also claimed that the end of the game is Tyr requesting Kratos to go to Egypt to help angroboda's mother, which is how we'll get the next game in Egypt

 

[Lilixa]

I don't think Angroboda's mother is Egyptian goddess. It's pretty clear she is a giant race which has diverse appearances. I bet that giant jellyfish we saw in the trailer is actually a giant race too.

 

[Dienomite22]

I think the theory is meant to be a headcanon (on SMS’s part) way to explain why Atreus and Loki’s children are monsters from an appearance standpoint in Norse myth while simultaneously expanding the GOW lore and introducing Egytian mythology.

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

Or maybe one of parents is a giant, and the other an Egyptian god.

 

[Lilixa]

i think the problems is people would imply she isn't native beings due to her skin in Norse realm. For sure SMS don't really like that. I would prefer she is native giant race in norse realm.

 

[Dienomite22]

I would prefer her to be part Egyptian god and the daughter of Tyr since I think it would be cool if Kratos and Tyr develop a brotherhood as Gods of War with children that are hybrids and it could make the Egyptian pantheon the next mythology game an even stronger possibly.

If she is just a giant that would be cool but not as much though.

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

I just wanna know powerful she is

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

I also wanna know what Thor can do, so I can match him up with MCU Thanos.

Thor's Tier 3/2 tho....? Unless it's like, stats equal.


Edit: Nvm, read MCU Thanos as MCU Thor.

Lol yeah I almost made that mistake typing that. Ironically I've seen people in YouTube and reddit comments saying GOW Thor would get clapped by MCU and Im ******* laughing at them. Little do they know this Thor can fight rune king Thor (he'd get haxxstomped)


But How do you think he'd fare against MCU Thanos?

 

[Lilixa]

thor hammer is super dangerous since it's stated to be equal to kratos axe

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

Other way around actually

 

[KLOL506]

Other way around actually

Yeah, both in the game and novel the Leviathan Axe is the one stated to be made Mjolnir's Equal.

Blades of Chaos laugh at them both in terms of strength and quality even when rusted to shit. Imagine if the Axe and Hammer ever faced the Blades of Athena, Blades of Exile, Nemean Cestus, or god forbid, the Blade of Olympus.

 

[Dienomite22]

Although I think Odin will be a master manipulator in this game and hell he might've orchestrated Kratos arriving to Norse pantheon because he knew he went against fate in the Greek World. However, I do think Atreus, or rather Loki will ultimately be playing 10-D big brain chess to Odin's 4-D chess. Whether it's through time travel planning or whatever.

 

[Egarroyo0330]

Should Ymir have his own profile, I know we don't know much about him, but he's pretty important.

 

[Dienomite22]

If anyone wants to make one they can

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

There's quite a few GOW profiles that need to be made

 

[KLOL506]

If anyone wants to make one they can

Currently waiting for the BIG GOW REVISION to take place for that, Uranus is the first on the list that'd get a profile.

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

They're splitting up the primordials page?

 

[KLOL506]

They're splitting up the primordials page?

Nah. But new Primordial pages of those significant enough will be made. Uranus is one of them, Nyx may be another.

 

[Dienomite22]

A freezing blizzard roars while shadows of wolves can be seen in the distance. A seemingly mysterious mountain looms in the distance while a broken, gigantic statue sits in the middle of a quiet lake guarded by a large creature lingering beneath. These embers of our new Norse universe describe the rich, visual areas Kratos and Atreus will experience in God of War. How was the visual look and feel of our take on Norse mythology defined? It all centers around one defining piece of concept art from acclaimed artist, Jose Peña.

Just putting this here as a reference for myself and if anyone is interested I guess.

 

[Dienomite22]

It would be cool to see Auðumbla or at least hear more about her considering she’s practically the primordial mother of the of the norse world……and is also a cow.

 

[Planck69]

Inb4 her milk is an upgrade material.

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

Inb4 her milk is an upgrade material.

Why that sound so wrong

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

U too horny dats y

 

[Dienomite22]

sex mini game with the cosmic cow when?

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

Well Loki is in the game soooo.....

 

[Dienomite22]

For the love if god I hope SMS don’t do anymore cool enemies like they did the werewolves in GOW2018 and have them only show up like a handful of times. I literally only fought against them maybe 4 times on GMGOW and one of those times was during a side quest that took me by surprise because I completely forgot they existed in the game.

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

That and no enemies at all except a few places after you beat the game, making it feel empty

 

[Kisaragi_Megumi]

Killing the werewolves is so f***ing satisfying tbh especially if you done the QTE against them chef kiss

 

[KLOL506]

The werewolves are fine but I believe we need more enemy variety TBF, most of the foes are human-based, we need more animal-based and more animal-hybrid based animals.

 

[BEASTHEART8800]

It's all too samey honestly. And the previous games were more creative with enemies.

Also I miss the gore. Gow 4 was honestly T rated in that aspect (except for that werewolf kill, shit was brutal)

Tlou2 has some of the best gore in gaming and is probably one of the most violent games ever made.

Imagine gore like that in Ragnarok.
