Nice. Looking pretty much as expected at this point. ?

There are no difficulty-related trophies, meaning you can do everything on the easiest difficulty. The list looks mostly completion-based with a mix of story trophies, side quests, and collectibles. Overall very similar to the last God of War game. Shouldn’t be a hard platinum.

A quick skim through and most of them look really straightforward with lots that look story/quest related and probably unmissable. If anything the list is possibly a little more grindy than anything else, as there are quite a few collectible based trophies in there.

 

A few trophies at the bottom caught my eye as potentially being the most challenging ones:

 

- Trials by Fire 
Complete the Trials of Muspelheim
 

- Ragnarök 
Battle the [Hidden]

 

- Grave Mistake 
Battle [Hidden]

 

- The True Queen 
Battle [Hidden]

There are a handful of battle trophies spread throughout the list, but with these ones being Gold trophies I wonder if they are tied to some kind of end game challenge style fights similar to the Valkyries & Valkyrie Queen from the first game. And who knows what the Trials of Muspelheim are.

The IGN review mentioned there's end game battles that are as challenging as the Valkyries from 2018. So I'm expecting the gold trophies to be something related to this.

Guys, take it to a PM if you want to keep arguing and stop derailing the thread. I'm going to unlock it now, and if I see anymore bullshit, I'm going to just start handing out warnings and be done with it.

But isn’t this a broad thread about GoW Ragnarok and the thoughts on the first one kinda go hand in hand. So it isn’t really derailing the thread is it? Just genuinely curious why it isn’t allowed?

They just better have more enemy variety. Was tired of constant trolls and lava men

You probably missed a lot more than just comparing the two games. Lots of trolling and insults was being flung back and forth. I want none of that here.

unfortunately Kratos probably won't die. So that sucks. Who knows what journey he may go on after Norse but for the love of god get rid of Boy

That's one of the things that's been addressed according to most reviews I've seen.

Here's hoping he lands in the Aztec realms next few games

Do we know if there's a ng+ mode included at release?

Maybe, depends how definitive this ending feels. I don't want a 5 year wait for whats next. If they're continuing the series they better have it already mapped out and starting drawing board for it

I think there is.

the hype surrounding this game is fkn INSUFFERABLE.

 

i am in the minority here - i did not enjoy the 2018 game, despite sticking with it all the way to the platinum and wanting to be proven wrong.

i am disbelief it get 10/10 ratings it got. i gave it 4/10. this is coming from someone who played the original games and the first one whilst a student at university in 2005.

any game getting 10/10 means to me it is a perfect game without flaws. no game is perfect, not even my favourite games.

Can't you just ignore the thread? Men there are a lot of places in the site and you choose to read the GOD OF WAR RAGNAROK thread while you hate god of war. It's like entering a bar full of football fans and claiming football sucks.

Nope when you finish the main story you can continue to finish challenge collectibles and side quests but there isn’t ng+ for now

Do we know what the max performance will be if you play the ps4 version on a ps5 with a 4k 120hz monitor? I plan on platting this game twice. 

[mega-tallica]

Looks like a pretty accessible trophy list per usual which means it's probably not going to be that difficult at all. 

 

Although those end game challenge boss fights have me intrigued if they're anything on par with the Valkyrie Queen in the first game. I have a sneaking suspicion that they won't be though.

 

[Vault-TecPhantom]

I often see people refer to Valkyrie Queen as the pinnacle of difficulty in GOW 2018 but was I the only one who thought she was one of the easiest out of the Valkyries? 

She basically had the movesets of all the other Valkyries combined, making her extremely predictable.

There's no New Game Plus (yet). @nickr_

Maybe a future add-on? As long as Santa Monica spares us the Horizon-like, crappy DLC trophy list for it it should be fine…

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that there won't be any added trophies post-launch whatsoever, much like was the case with the 2018 game.

Gonna guess this, too. They'll very likely add NG+ and history implies that they won't add in a new trophy for it (but it is a definitely possibility they will).

EDIT: never mind. Wasn't scripted. The 'hold' accessibility change for repeated button mashes doesn't always work so be careful. It's a known issue in other areas of the game according to patch notes but they didn't address the one in this boss fight. I've changed it back to 'tap' which I'm not happy about as 'tap' hurts my hand. Shame, really. Ruined an otherwise good boss fight.
