HandsomeDead Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 4 minutes ago, Hendo said: What’s everyone’s favoured special attack for Boy? I’ve stuck with the wolves so far. I’ve also maxed out his skill tree and he’s a beast. I often forgot I had a special attack for Boi but when I remembered I had it in troublesome fights I liked the Crows. They get the way of the baddies more I found. I've done pretty much everything on my normal run and I think I might try it on hard as I still kinda want to play it. Here's me doing some end-game content for those that get here: Spoiler This is a fight with the Valkyrie Queen after you defeat the other 8 hidden around the land. I enjoyed this fight quite a bit and it took me ages. I was so pleased at the end I had to save it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeFour Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Yeah I used the crows aswell. Great AoE distraction if your getting mobbed. I forget to use it most of the time. Same as the L1+O thing ? I'm about to face that thing DC so I'll watch it after ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I forget about the other moves but I use Boy’s special all the time. Might check out the crow one. Playing this it actually gives me faith (and I say this as someone who has never cared about the character) that it is possible to do something more intelligently and interesting with Duke Nukem.

ThreeFour Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Damn right ?? He was always a parody pop culture character, tho so he can be tweaked. It was the Sci-Fi fun and evolving level design though that I enjoyed about earlier Duke. Need to get that right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeFour Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 ? get what you can be bothered with. That's what I did. But I came out pretty beefy. Not sure if I can platinum this. I want to. But some bits are are a drag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I’m at the point in the story where the game really needs a “Slap Boy” button. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeFour Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I'm just about to fight her. Pesky is she? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeFour Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Me too ? Forgot to record it ? Watched @DifferentClass fight. It's interesting the different techniques and combat utilisation we have. Obviously use if different L abilities but I was knocking her shield move down where DC parried or waited for the opening. Great game ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I didn't even know you could break her guard. Waiting just out of range of the force blast as she unguards worked so I stuck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGERMAN Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 it's a bit weird, given what God of War is known for, that it sort of ends with a bit of a shrug. Kind of nice I suppose, not everything have to be turned to 11 Enjoyed this a lot, not sure I enjoyed it as much as the critics but I certainly can't think of too many games I've played this year that are better. That being said, in terms of the main game, I think I'm done. Can't be arsed with the more difficult fights and altering my loadout to get through them (that's not a complaint, I'm just not in the mood for it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 When it comes to the game's critical reception it is just the sort of game that will always do well. But I do think it's better than other games that get a similar acclaim but then it falls in genre I personally like so I find it hard to disagree with it's acclaim.

Hendo Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 It’s comforting to know that Kratos is also self conscious when taking a selfie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Been to two (only two? Maybe more to come) of the post-game locations, and I can see this being extra tricky. I can see why one common complaint/request is to have different load-outs of gear. Not sure how far into the post-game stuff I’ll go but it’s holding my interest for now.

Hendo Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I think so? I had credits and everything but I was listening to a spoiler podcast and they mentioned something about a tease for the next game which I don’t remember seeing. But yeah, I did the main goal.

Hendo Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Ok, now I got the proper end. I don’t remember getting a prompt to do that though, isn’t super obvious that it’s a thing you should do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
