could be a few more I missed, GOW could potentially get 120 reviews so their are many possible outcomes that can occur.

Yeah, it's done. Staying at 94. Not sure how Jim will go with it because on one hand he won't like the perceived trend of making games the "same style" as the last of us as some ass hats keep comparing it yet he'll love to support single player driven games with no add ons or micro transactions. I hear a QTT are trolls as many have pointed out in the thread here and for good reason and the Playstation magazines could go any which way, their scores never seem to be biased or predictible so it'll be down to the guys who review it, no less than 80's though. 

Jim Sterling doesn't use scores for his reviews anymore so that's one less to worry about, besides he seems to have liked the game quite a bit.

There's probably more I'm missing but so far the reviews yet to drop are from:

Could still hit 95, hopefully QTT stays away from it!

Lol. I am sorry but i have never seen so many people hanging on and urging a game to a better score ever like this before. Or maybe i didn't look in the right places. Its a bit hilarious tbh.

Yeah, I feel shameless but it is what it is. Never cared for score before but this one deserves every fraction of a percentage and is really getting a raw deal here by less than worthy critics.

Yeah. For what its worth i DO want GOW to reach the 95 milestone but I think this is going a bit overboard. Dare i say its a bit pathetic really??!

The Darkelf King. I regret not having saved it.



Hunting Season is done...

Hmm. I liked Muspelheim (for challenge) and Niflheim (for farming). Fighting the valkyries was a huge challenge and fun.

Got the Platinum yesterday after spending hours in both places.

The "Impossible" challenges at Muspelheim almost turned me into the Kratos from the first trilogy of games.

I thought Niflheim could have used some more diversity. It got boring redoing the same thing over and over again to farm material for the Epic armor sets.

The Valkyries though were all very fun to fight, despite being the toughest bosses in the game. 

I really can't wait to see what they'll do with the series from there.

So could anybody let me know how far I’m through the game, I have just left Alfhiem with the light to take back to the mountain.

Halfway. Some of my favourite scenes are going up that mountain and then on top of it. Enjoy!

Cheers. Then there is a load of end game stuff right?

Damn, I wasn't expecting it to actually fall to 94.

Can't recall if I ever mentioned this, but I finished the game over the weekend. Ending was pretty good, but my favorite part was when Kratos gets the fire daggers in the second half of the game.

In the end I had about 80% of collectibles. I did a fair amount of the side content, but I could still sink another 10 or 15 hours if I tried to platinum the game. Most of that time would probably go towards getting enough of the currency in the mist realm.

Overall, awesome, awesome game, highly polished, perhaps maybe too many set pieces. It was interesting how they cut out most of the quick time events of which I recall were a larger part of the older GoW games.

I would say that I preferred Ellie in TLoU as a sidekick more than Altreus (in terms of character growth, conversations), but where a fair number of people found Altreus to be annoying, I did not.

I haven't played the game in three days since I finished it, so I'm doubting that I will go back and finish the side content. There are still a few realm towers that are inaccessible; perhaps DLC?
Edit: DAMN, I had everything nicely formatted, and it got screwed up somehow. What am I doing wrong?
