Made the mistake of checking the reddit thread, it looks fun, ppl fr hate anything marvelesque that isn’t edgy all the time I guess

The incels will be really angry with this one lol. Looks good though, I’ll be playing it.

Not sure how I feel about choosing her as Protagonist. But gameplaywise, it looks lit as always.

What do you mean?
She’s clearly a badass. I totally get it now why she was with Kratos.
- realitaetsverlust@piefed.zipEnglish24 days
Because, well, she’s dead. She’s an important part of ragnaroks story, but nevertheless dead, so there will be very little to no meaningfull interaction with atreus or kratos, which is honestly a bit sadge. It’s basically a completely isolated story that adds very little to the lore (considering we already know who faye is) and that’s just a bit meh.
Probably won’t be a bad game, but lorewise, I just feel we could’ve chosen a more meaningful character - or at least one that isn’t canonically dead.
24 daysIf I know anything about stories then she will probably get the opportunity to come back to life by the end or at least converse with the living world. That could set up the next game with all of them together in some way. Maybe with the grown up Boy as the main character.

fuck. wasn’t there some sony statement about ending pc ports? I might not get to play this one
- Encrypt-Keeper@lemmy.worldEnglish24 days
I really don’t think that will stick long term. There’s a reason they started making the PC ports to begin with and that reason still exists. I think they’re just trying to build up the exclusivity things in the minds of consumers ahead of their PS6 launch in the next two years
I…
Do not know how I feel about bringing back a charachter who does SO MUCH because of her absence.
Too bad I won’t be finding out if it works, as Sony won’t be porting this to PC.

I’m a little torn about death tropes; even Kratos has “died”, and then beat up Hades and slashed his way out of hell. I think it has some premise within the world.

With the current state of the entertainment industry I’m surprised they still didn’t do a LOTR movie explaining Tom Bombadil.
There isn’t a single exec that understands why it’s important for big narratives to have mysteries.
They understand, but they also understand that when they need to make something new, and the old classic already had a complete story, their best chance to make money is off of something familiar. So not Tom Bombadil, but that’s how we ended up with Solo: A Star Wars Story and every Terminator after 2.
- ViatorOmnium@piefed.socialEnglish25 days
They could move the story forward with Atreus as the main character, that would still be familiar enough. Prequels are very hard to do right.
Terminator is a special case, because time travel limits the interesting time span for the story if you don’t keep erasing the previous movies plot.
Even Terminator 2 changed the time travel rules established in the first movie, but at least it felt like its ideas were still original. And I didn’t even mind Terminator 3.

THANK YOU, I always feel I’m the only one who acknowledges that. Don’t get me wrong, I like T2, but it completely broke what was established in T1. I do understand why, you can only do that twist once, after the audience knows time is a loop you can’t add meaningful stories because there are no stakes. But it’s still annoying, that they undid one of the major things of the first movie.
