What do you think of the new progression system?
GameSpot great
ur mom geiy
GameSpot how do u get more loot for upgrades and armor and etc.. and telport location explain the world as well
@Yobii_Dro Do the Dwarf dungeon missions, or go exploring places.
It really helps early on if you equip a luck enchantment too.
Same as all other games 😏
Cannot believe I waited this long to get into this game it's incredible
Welcome to the club ✊🏽
same idk what i was doing
@@nolimitjamesxo5455 saving money?
I just started the game.
yes, all of that
small tip
if you have trouble to remember which enchantment you have used before switching a piece of armor, just look for the greyed out ones. These are the ones you have uses before switching a piece of amor.
U can also swap enchantments before equipping the armor
Skipped this on PS4 and now playing it on PS5. It is truly amazing
Me too! It has me stoked for new one which I’ll definitely preorder
I love leveled up runic attacks and the summons atreus does. Shock wolves!
Kastor 459 the runic attacks more appeal than skills upgrade
Syafraa Husna Mutazakki i likht the attack delay attack skills from the axe.
shock crows for me man.
Yeah it shock crows for me too. They stop the enemies most of the time and give you time to attack them freely.
Kastor 459 waaaaaay better than some fuckin squirrel that digs for power ups and shit
I finish the game and still dont understand the game system.. anyone experience the same?
a little overwhelming to me since Im new to this game. Ive played all the Tomb Raiders and Zero Horizon Dawn. This one is an adjustment since its just so different and not used to it
start a new game + it will kinda make more sense second time arround, it did for me :) i got an insane realm shift build
That's understandable bro..i actually got the hang of it on my first play BUT that doesn't meen I'm smarter than anyone else ..it may take some people a few times to get it..you prbly been playing other games before this one that has a way different system..keep trying you will get it..take time to read everything on screen and use youtube videos
MeeseeksDK ooo
I honestly feel like this system is easy to get a grasp of. It’s complicated, but easy to understand.
Your gear can give either random buffs (like resistances or occasional abilities) or increased stats. Your stats include Strength (physical damage), Runic (magical damage), Defense (Armor), Vitality (Health), Luck (activated ability chance), and Cooldown (Main ability Cooldown). You can choose 2 abilities (a light and an heavy) and one talisman. You may earn new abilities and upgraded abilities through xp and gold
Freaking annoying how I try to do side quests and the enemies one shot me even tho there's no indication that the mission is too hard for my level
I know right
Man that’s true lol. I was level 2 when I did a side mission these fuckers were level 7 😂😂
If the enemy's health bar is purple it means it's at least 2 levels above you. Not an impossible fight but yeah, you're going to want to avoid getting hit.
Dreamline78 in an RPG the player should know about the difficulty of the quest *before*, not *while* doing it, especially when there's no way to back out of the quest like in GoW and the only thing you can do is to restart from checkpoint
Sơn Nguyễn Giang im playing it on hard more (first play through) never faced a place where i cant go back....
The early game is by far the hardest part in the game, after Alfheim, the game is much easier than it was when you were in the area near your home, speaking for the stand point of someone playing on GoW mode.
I only play this game high and I randomely upgrade and equp things. I hope I'm not digging a hole for myself.
And if I do, BRING IT! :D
Same dawg 😂
Ima start doing that
Fucking mood
Same my man haha
You are awesome bruh
Best game I've played in so long! The mechanics, the story, the world. It's all badass!
Very good video, and very well explained and enunciated. I had finish the game already, but this would have been handy before.
I sincerely love everything about this game. No complaints coming from me. Great video btw
This was a great refresher for me. Started playing this during the plandemic then stopped about a quarter of the wsy through. Hadn't played it in like 2yrs. Had no idea how to play and was totally lost on the menu screen. Thanks!
You have made a great strategic guide for this game that evolves itself during the game
Wow that was actually really helpful pretty much covers every basic in the game
This is so helpful thanks so much man
Just started playing this. Thanks for the guide.
THNX! Had no idea about upgrading to get a rune slot and forgot all about my enhancements! This helped a ton! Gr8 Video
Me too. I did them when the game first tells you and then I forgot.I was in hellheim when I noticed I still had all the dark elf protection ruins which means I hadn’t changed or upgraded armor in half the game. Still fun
Do a vid about the valkyries, those bosses are so hard
It's the armour that gets me, theres many different types, so I should choose one that suits the play style preferred judging by their stats an such?
I just really love the new progression
I really like the new profession system , loved all God Of War games & how they played , this new game was new at first & weird but once you get the hang of it the game is even more enjoyable in my experience
At 0:17, the stats on the right side of the screen... It shows you are level one. What happens when you level up? Any bonus? And how do you level up? By increasing your stats points?
Another thing you should know if your new to the game is that the combat camera and movement system is poorly designed be prepared for a lot of frustration.
Came here after PC release, who else ?
I've finished the game not knowing I could upgrade the runic attacks
Yeah same. Finished the game and I am still level 5
Same
I've been busy getting my ass kicked on the "I Want God of War" difficulty. I'm moving through at a snails pace but I'm to much of an Elitist gaming snob to lower the difficulty. I don't know if I'll ever get to any of this equipment you speak of on your video.
I struggled to get into this on PS4 and a big part of that was just, imo, confusing interface of the menus and overly complex systems in play. I’m giving it a fresh go on pc and am gonna try to get to know everything very well and see if I feel differently about the game afterward
I felt similarly. Trying again on my ps5 and I love it. I think i was halfway through the game before bothered upgrading any armor though. I added a few items here or there, but it wasn’t until I got WELL into the story that I spent any time on it
I surprisingly LOVED this game. It’s up there with the RDR series. I even liked it more than Last of Us.
It’s a great game and of the same quality but the world and immersion and dark grittiness of the last of us screams I am the goat
bro Im on my second run and I didnt notice that you could use enhancements for your armor set... life is so much easier now
Are there internal cool downs? I have an axe pommel that has a high chance to grant a health boost when you land an Executioners Cleaver attack (press and hold R2) and I have two enchantments that each have a high chance to grant a health boost on a successful parry, and I honestly don't see them proc when I have 3 ways to get a health boost...
Ive kinda of noticed that too, alot of times its happened and im so busy playing I don't notice it.
how can I compare the stats of the armor that I am wearing with the armor that I want to buy? The sockets in the armor I am wearing change the states so every time I want to compare between my armor and the one that I want to craft or upgrade I remove the sockets and then put them back. It is really annoying, is there a way to compare the armor without the sockets so I can objectively see which one is better? As far as I understood it doesn’t matter with weapons so I guess on that part I’m good.
just started playing the game, ik im late but i dont like single player games but got recommended this game....this upgrade shit makes no sense to me lol game is good so far tho,only 2hrs in...fight with the stranger was pretty sikk
How do you upgrade the armor to level 2 and up. There isn’t an option I see
When your crafting/upgrading what does it mean if something says a negative number in red, does it mean if I choose that my strength will decrease by four points for example?
Yes.
Great video! I've yet to hear anyone state that this iteration of God of War is somewhat souls-like. Just a thought...
Laughable how every single time game has any good progression system people call it overwhelming,really? People can read you know?
Drunk Fairy people are just not smart enough lol
It can be overwhelming for a typical guy that just plays a couple hours on the weekend and isn't really into video games. Cut them some slack, they're just trying to enjoy the same thing that you do
Not with those font size they can’t
It's not that it's complex. It's just a bit unconventional on how it's set out. Your skills (Runic attacks) are in the weapon menu, but upgrades are in the skills menu. You can also have other skills (Enchantments) but those are in the armour menu.
It is spread out in multiple menus difficult to navigate and it is unclear what you can benefit. A skill tree is a skill tree. This is not a good practice.
Great video
Where i can find the beginner guide?
I have no idea wtf i am doing in this game
HAhahah. I just bought it and it is very overwhelming at first. This is an old post but curious if you ever made it through?
@@onemorething100 hi lol i just made a new account and yea i already finished it
I’ve just got out of the witches hut near the start of the game and don’t really have any amour except one you get from brok so will I get armour just by playing or do I have to find it in chests
I know im late but both will i would say play the main quests for armor and check every shop for. Better armor and envhantment
Enchantments
Thanks
is it a good idea to sell my resources or should I keep them thanks
yout can runic 63 this with new game+ or not?
How to get perfect armour and talismans?? The red colour ones
Just started playing. Here we go.
Anybody know what the arrow next to you hp and level means. Mine has turned red, What does that mean?
Its the color of your resurrection stone
I like the fight at the being of the game is there any more fights or is that just it because I really enjoyed fighting that dude at the beginning of the game
Loads of boss/mini boss fights through out
You fight him multiple times
Can someone help me, I feel like a noob for asking BUT. I’m on NG+ and want to sell some armor for a shitload of Hacksilver. I’m on lvl 9 and when I go to sell Armor, let’s say I click on one of Broks pieces he gave me, it says my Stats will drop by up to 25 points in runic and defence, if I sell this armor will it bring my overall level down? I don’t wanna sell it if it’s just going to deplete Kratos even though I’m not wearing it and won’t wear it again. 🤔
Bourky 46 save before selling. Then if it goes wrong just reload the game before you sold the items.....I see now that this question is 4 months old....oh well, maybe you’re still stuck! Lol
Is it better to wait to get better gear before using your resources to upgrade them ?
NoSlurpy4U Good question.
I personally upgrades my gear when I can, though I count the difference and upgrades armor with biggest value.
It only really matters with golden armour I think. As far as I've played, there's some items you need for the golden armours that you don't seem to be able to farm. Anything more common than that though, you can get resources for from normal enemies.
Think it might depend on difficulty
I played on normal and first really started upgrading after main story
Got so much hacksilver
I was always unsure since hacksilver u have much but the other resources are hard to collect
I thought I hated wolves.. I hate travelers even more
Wulvers are generally level 6 or 7, travelers are also level 7 or 8. They're really powerful
Everyone I've talked to hates travelers but they are probably my favorite/least challenging enemy in the game. I can't remember where it was but when I fought the two at the same time, I only took damage once or twice.
Guess everybody really does have their own strengths and weaknesses
Valkyries are the worst
Travelers aren’t too bad. but with those annoying healing enemies beside them they make me want to neck
@@ShellShock794 yeah when you are turning the temple, in the final room.
Summation of this guide: “Make choices wisely and to your style.”
Some attacks are white yellow and red, because im playing on the hardest difficult most of attacks are yellow or red, clearly because of the level difference of the enemies, cant i upgrade my defense to make the attacks more blockable? Or defense just affects the amount of damege i receive when taking damage?
The red ones are unblockable I'm pretty sure. Just got into the game like 3 days ago lol
How to play in the first boss with my progression?
But where on Earth is the bonus armor from dlc? Or the shield? I'm yet to find them in my game.
Alex Lion have you redem the code from the paper inside the game disk? Or you have buy it from psn? Then you need to go to library to download them. I have the armor and shiel. They are ok for the begining of the game.
Found the shields in the shield menu
The deluxe edition armor? It’s called Death’s Vow. It really isn’t that great. About a few hours into the game I already found armor that was way better than it.
I have to be honest I'm not a fan of this... the earlier games had a much more basic upgrade path, no loot or armour that covers Kratos' character design. Lest we forget as well the game shows no damage numbers or how exactly +5 damage looks in comparison to +10 damage (unless you delve into complex math and perform laborious experimentation). These RPG mechanics work in RPG games because you see the numbers (the damage you inflict/take) and generally its not tiny incremental changes but significant upgrades. These mechanics belong in classic RPGs not action/adventure games but they have been plopped into most "modern" titles with incremental (insignificant boosts) to keep the player grinding the stat hamster wheel...
I wish armor was cosmetic and you could just upgrade your stats separately. Some armor is really badass but if i put it on it drops strength or something by like 10 and increases luck by 10. Like wtf? Lol why
Exactly I don't like how some armour looks but it gives me great stats
I missed the first 2 nornir chests. Will I be able to go back and get them later on?
Neil Robinson yea bro u can explore and get all of them.
If it wasn't for TH-cam I didn't know I could buy moves even if your stats don't "Match" the requirements. So for 98% of the game I didn't have that shield unblock thing. Because my defense wasn't 250. Coulda saved myself so much time. The skills menu makes no sense. Like on mine it says shield unblock (that move that removes people's shield) need 250 defense pta but I only had 200. I didn't even attempt to buy it. Coulda saved myself so much time. With more moves
The combat mechanics are very good. But could be still improved :) i loved playing Nioh, the three different fight stances would be a blast for the next gow. And an open world like assasins creed.
No
No
No
Yes
You should do this for the new god of war, i’m a bit confused…
I still don’t understand the Luck stat/concept in this game. Anybody have an easy explanation?
I think that increases ur chances of enemies dropping u stuff
It also increase your chances of perk activations. If you have high luck then low chance perks are more likely to activate.
Love this game
more like rpg but i like it. looks cool
Yea just like the last 6 god of wars
chris cash no lol
finally switched to ps this game is insane
How do i upgrade or get new spartan rage attacks?
Nicholas Qaqish put the ps4 in rice.
it'll be on your upgrades menu where you can upgrade your axe, on that menu press right on the directional paid and you'll go to shield upgrades, press right again and it'll take you to the Spartan rage upgrades
Spartan rage upgrades are right next to the shield upgrades
confusing progression? lol then you haven't played Warframe xD
Warframe? Just put cash in it problem solved
Facts. After that game, U can play any progression system!
Yes sir 🙂
Games a MASTERPIECE
Play new game plus to earn perfect armor
Which is better epic or legendary I would apreciate it if you told me
jay dee epic, think of it as an exotic in Destiny?
Matthew Branigan thank you very much
jay dee no problem, I'm playing through a second time. It's funny that in the start of the game if you upgrade the green armor that you buy first. It will remain better than most of the first blue armor you unlock, good luck on your play through brother
Matthew Branigan thanks good luck to you to fellow god
You also must take in consideration the starting level and level cap of the armor. For instance, you may have a fully upgraded legendary armor with good sockets, but the armor caps at lvl. 6, while another legendary armor (or epic) starts at lvl. 5 and it can be upgraded to lvl. 7. This, of course, helps you level up Kratos, which is important to take on consideration.
This really helped me in my journey of god of war
i barely play the game normally
is it weird that i usually grind for armour rather than playing the game
nope.
are all runic attacks just ice or different elements?
they runic are either combination of melee and magic attacks or melee and stun attacks.
They are only ice attacks up until about halfway through the main story and then there is a fire option
The thing i hate most is the camera angle that you can’t zoom out
I dare to say that this is the best action RPG game made so far!
'compiled together'
Will I lose my enchantments if I sell one of my chest or wrist armour and it had enchantments on it?
What happened
I can't decide how I feel about being able to unlock everything in abilities in one game. On one hand, it's nice to not be stressed that you won't like the style that it gives you. But I also like how games like Dark Souls challenges you to think about your character leveling. If you try to make a Jack of all trades, you can end up nerfing your character. But I guess that in games like this or HZD, it is important to make sure the player can always progress through the story. Unlike my first try at DS3, when I leveled against my starting character and hit a brick wall mid game.
Your a god u have unlock all haha
The skill tree isn’t a new thing in God Of War…
They could've actually added something like "Costume slots" so that we can wear our favorite armor, cosmetics wise, without actually affecting our best equipment, stats wise.
Ohh yeah that’s a fantastic idea... if you’re a 10 year old girl
@@timothylouis2684 Oooh internet tough guy. So manly, 101% dude right there 👏👏
@@jpao1834 lol, you got burned. It was hilarious.
All this upgrade are so confusing to me...thats why i decided to play stroymode😅
The armor system in this game is too tedious. To say it's an armor set is not accurate. Horizon Zero Dawn has armor sets, as you take off an entire outfit (armor), and replace the entire outfit with a different one. In this game if you want to change armor, you have to constantly and tediously change individual PIECES of armor. There is no set. It's annoying and tedious. I'd rather have a way to make an armor that's good against fire, save it, and choose that when I need it, quickly. Same with other different attack and defense armors.
And people fet pissy if you call it an action RPG. Powerlevel determens red and yellow attack and gear has way too much effect to not be an rpg
tip: double tap L1 to break through shielded enemies.
*If you have the skill for it*
I am ok with the gameplay change and the camera but I am not fond of the stuff mentioned in the video.
I HATE this progression system. I almost wish the game wasnt so damn good so id stop playing it because of it.
So
Man, I shouldn't even have bought the game.
This is too confusing
GOW is NOT an open world and progression is mostly linear.
how i can throw the axe in horizontal way?
DarthSaga try L2 and R2
Amanwiza thanks
Sony made the upgrade system way too complicated.
You call this a guide?
Ummmmm that game is considered open world?
"semi-open world" as what others call it
seriously how long to complete thia game? some says 21 and some says 35? I am confused.21 hours is so short.
It takes 25-35 hours to complete the game
wantsome7655 then don't search for it lol you can skip straight to the main story if you wish lol nothing is forced
wantsome7655 it not really....the game can be beat by 25 hour action packed without u searching for item....and 40 if u do
Since when is 21 hours short for a story based campaign? What? I mean it's no okami or Zelda but those are borderline exploration over story. This is story over exploration, kindof needs to be confined some, but it's huge from what I've played so far.
nobody survives even one bit 21 hours is so fukin long, the average single player game is like 7 to 11 hours
Alot of these people complain about the fights lol go play devil may cry or something gtfoh
Everyone here saying the progression system is overwhelming are seriously illiterate. GOW pretty much tells you everything you need to know. It even has descriptions for the specific attributes. You guys would have aneurism if you played any Monster Hunter game lol. Sorry this isn’t fortnight. Get better and learn how to read and pay attention to details.
Enigma MK I’m a fucking snob cuz you guys don’t want to read 😂 alright bro have fun playing fortnight and not using your brain. There is absolutely nothing wrong w this game
Enigma MK I have nothing to say to a “gamer” that has a problem w the depth of a video game 😂 because it requires brain power? Rather then button smashing wow
Ah yes so much fun. Being weaker than everyone because my loot isn't good. Despite being a god
Yes....that's called progression. It's kind of the entire point of almost every video game.
Gamespot shouldn't post shit about this game since it gave it only a 9
I wouldn't call restating what the game already tells you in tutorials "tips" but ok. Literally learned nothing from this video.
