He said that he was glad that they didn't OVERLY focus on the already great graphics and set their priorities on their weaker points. He didn't say that he liked that they "supposedly" didn't improve the graphics(he even says the contrary), although, if you're careless and are looking to find inexistent fault in order to inflate your ego, I can understand how you could misunderstand such a simple comment.

That “wood branches fly off the tree when you throw axe” is a small detail which is INSANELY HARD to do on the coding side. Hats off.

[@kingofarknesscertp]

Both of GOWs have kinda strange physics, in ragnarok it fly off and getting destroyed at pieces, when axe targeted 1 point, and in 2018 they just dont fly off, kratos strong but with axe's speed can understand that it's not enough to punch off some branches

[@dazzaboy04]

The major downside is for Blades of Chaos. In 2018, their was contrasting difference between normal blades and flamed blades. Both in looks as well as damage. Once the blades would ignite, it would be SOS for enemies. Every animation felt real fire being dropped. In Ragnarok, not only they lowered the looks of it (flames look weird), the damage difference is also not significant.

[@alexpfernandes]

There's a mechanic that I think a lot of people overlooked that you can activate whatever weapon you are holding after filling the gauge meter by pressing L1 + Triangle. It took me at least 10 hours to properly use it effectively, specially when playing on hard, so you need to keep dodging and moving all the time. But once you do there's a world of difference, in both aesthetics and damage.

As someone that’s only played ragnarok idk but the bosses in 2018 just seem pretty lame to me like u had all these Greek gods who had such insane designs and powers and then Baldur just seems like some crazy guy who can’t be killed and happens to be very strong and thors sons just seem like nobodies

[@skyrrmish6207]

Plus I don’t get how the gods in 2018 would be cooler when none of them I’ve heard before it and all the super famous Norse gods Thor Heimdall and Odin r in ragnarok ig I’d have to play it to find out

Both games are good. I think the older one had better color wish the new one was as rich in color as the previous game. I also understand technical issues may be the reasons for the change.

[@jlyon7065]

whatttt the new game has wayyyy more color than the original game. in fact one of my issues with the original game is that it didn’t have enough color variety

[@inyrui]

@@jlyon7065 yeah for real lol just look at Vanahiem. It's full of vibrant colors. Same with Jotunhiem and Svartlehiem

[@thevoicewithin9845]

These examples only look less vibrant because of the dark theme they went with for fimbulwinter taking hold in Midgard. Other parts of the game are extremely vibrant and full of colour. They made sections darker and duller on purpose, and it makes sense! Very immersive too.

Mechanics when Kratos jumps from a height was so much better in 2018

Ragnarok: the most anticipated game of the year Also Ragnarok: the same fucking game without a satisfying ending to the story of “fatherhood”

[@burakcoskun1865]

Awwwwww

[@danvilela]

Yeah.. kratos got week in this one.. too forced for me this “kratos with a heart” thing

[@burakcoskun1865]

@@danvilela disagree it was perfect

[@malazan6004]

For anyone who's played Ragnarok on a high end TV like a 4k 120hz OLED you can clearly see a pretty big improvement in many ways vs 2018.

[@LonelyHearts.Co24]

But those partial effects on 2018

[@LonelyHearts.Co24]

60hz will work just fine also

2018 version is better than 2022 ragnarok :-) (animations,sounds,colors)

[@godofwargb9208]

Thats it! its like gta 4 and gta 5 4th always look better😊

[@TXHuyIcefrzzy]

The biggest different between the two is the cutting power of the axe vs the trees

[@md3066]

I like 2018 a littel more because of the story

[@jnrbeast5072]

They did a great work both in 2k18 and 2k20 I like the game a lot

[@Low7711]

Only difference I see is just the weapons on 2018 is a bit more graphical than ragnarok, in terms of how much particles/lighting it gives out. Other than that, both are great! Really seems irrelevant to do a comparison on the 2. Almost like a stalemate comparison if u will lol

[@divyeshpatel6400]

God of war 2018 hands down.... 2018 has more saturation, hue, contrast and brightness. The most important for me would be brightness. As not many of us are having a high end monitor or TV. Its much easier to see in a bright environment. Ofcourse there is improvement in physics, environment, structure, etc. but still playing in a dark environment of 2022 game would make me sleep and boring as I would not enjoy exploring the environment. I played all of the god of war games previously and I loved exploring the environment, hidden places, etc. Its fun to explore.

[@REN7IN]

I am new in GOW. God of war 2018 was included in my PlayStation subscription So, i thought i should give it a try. This game is really amazing. Usually i only play open world games. After playing this. I realised their are many other genres games that are amazing.

[@GRUSTLER]

The map in God Of War 2018 was much better and easier to look at.

[@Skofnung]

they made his physique look bad in ragnarok
