Am I the only one who would buy a ratatoskr plush in a heartbeat if sony released one?

Got the Platinum. After about 30 attempts to beat King Hrolf, I changed my armour and bam, did him first go. Then all I had was Gna and remembering the last game, I knew I would want to smash my controller. But no, kicked the crap out of her with half my energy still there. Phew. Haha.

Absolutely amazing game. Gutted it’s all over.

I got the respawn glitch. I cant play until the games patched

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika It's amazing that they still haven't fixed this after over a month. Luckily for me it didn't keep me from finishing the story, but I wonder if I would have had it happen to me at some point if I did more of the side quests. I couldn't bring myself to do more as I thought some of them were the weakest part of the game.

Given how often the game autosaves, I'm surprised reloading one of them doesn't fix the problem, but I guess not given that people are still having issues with it.

@KilloWertz I’m playing on GMGOW even redoing a small amount of progress would be exhausting and I don’t know when the glitch triggered and if I could potentially re trigger it. I hope it gets in the NG+ patch coming this spring. But until then I am fully stuck. It sucks too because GOW was probably going to be my GOTY I loved every minute of it including the quests. I guess the honor now falls to the similarity incredible but playable xenoblade 3

Started Ragnarok last night, 2 hours in, so far a pretty epic opening!! Here we goooo!!

Greatness recognises greatness. As one of the handful of people on this earth who sincerely loved The Order 1886 (I play it to completion once a year as is now tradition) it made this aging bitter heart feel a smidgen of joy seeing this reference.

Dear lord, the optional area in Vanaheim is absolutely massive! You could easily spend 5+ hours here. Granted, it's probably there to help people grind before the final fight(s) since you get so much good loot that'll help you level up very fast. But it's still crazy that there's this much optional content since it's actually very good.

8 hours in now and this game just keeps getting better, I just constantly want to keep seeing what's next and then what's next! It's been worth the wait!

I reckon I must be reasonably far in now having just gone back to Vanaheim and freed the moon

I’ve been picking off other bits as I’ve gone, including some of the beserker fights which I’ve done okay on so far but have had my arse handed to me by the trio fight in Alfheim

I’ve also been into Muspelheim and managed the 6 main challenges, plus the first two extras but then got battered by the first central challenge

Good fun though so far and hoping there’s still plenty to come!

@LtSarge I’m at that large area now and you’re right, there’s a fair bit going on in there! Some pretty tough fights too.

@Thrillho be careful there. The location triggers a game breaking glitch

Just completed the main story for this, really great stuff. I thought the final chapter so to speak would have been a bit longer and grander in scope. But still a very enjoyable experience with some excellent characters.

@LieutenantFatman the post game is excellent, both in terms of challenges but also tying up a few narrative strands from the main story itself. It’s surprising how much narrative is left in all honesty

@colonelkilgore
Good to know, thanks! I will keep playing, it's an unusual way of doing things so I was wondering.

20 hours in now. Honestly I probably should be alot further into the story than I am but I just keep getting distracted by the side quests, there's so much more to do than in GOW(2018). I've just left Vanahiem for the first time so yeah! After a few busy weeks I'm hoping to finally get some decent gaming time in this weekend and make a real dent in the story.

@MaulTsir I didn’t think I was going all that slowly through it and still ended up putting in about 80 hours when all’s said and done! It’s a big game. Hope you get that time to really get sucked in. It’s a ride!

I finished the main story a couple of nights ago. Really enjoyed it overall and am getting stuck into the post-game stuff for the plat.

Ending thoughts:
Damn if some of the build up with Faye didn’t make me a bit teary. That said, the actual finale felt a bit anticlimactic to me? It kind of felt like you didn’t really see much of the scale of invading Asgard for such a momentous thing and then the Thor and Odin fights felt kind of easy. And also, what was the deal with the second shrine that Kratos looked at after Atreus left?

I only replayed the first game a few months ago and I wonder if that made a difference to how I felt about the game but I still really enjoyed it and some of the changes to the combat were subtle but I liked them, such as levelling up skills by using them.

The new realms were cool and the cast were just fantastic.

Last night I finally beat Gna in Muspelheim which was quite the fight! And that reminds me, what a pain it was in Muspelheim to have to keep beating the “basic” fights to unlock the extra central ones..

I’ve still got plenty to do yet but it really is a fantastic game!

Bloody hell, I think I’ve finally managed to make that post with the stuff spoilered! Apologies to anyone confused my post constantly appearing and disappearing!

From the ending though;
