Ragnarok is one of the best games I’ve ever experienced, it does everything a sequel should do (and more).

[@grizzlygrimgaming1530]

It is for me too. I just wish it was Cory Barlog behind the wheel again. This game felt way more grounded in terms of the characters. And I do wish the characters had better accents to go with the Norse setting. This game should have a sequel and Ragnarok should have been the next game. I still very much enjoy it though. It’s better than 2018 in some ways but not all.

I’m my opinion. I dislike that they took the skill tree for unarmed combat. Loved being able to mix up combos using melee and being able to hit L2 + R1 or R2 to recall your axe with an attack.

That arrow around Atreus' neck isn't jade, it's mistletoe. It's what broke Freya's invincibility spell that was cast on Baldur, which then made him vulnerable to all attacks. Which is also what lead to Baldur's death, Freya's hatred for Kratos, and the beginning of Fimble Winter, the precursor to Ragnarok.

So the tree thing....I've seen many games where something as simple as moving trees suck up a lot of resources. It may be as simple as them wanted to optimize their resources on other items such as the prints left in the snow instead. Now that it's winter, you don't need all of those leaves moving so they decided to redo the trees. Same with the explosions. Just my 2 cents.

I downloaded ragnarok on PC, then I decided to play 2018 again, to be fully in sync with the story and now I think 2018 has better graphics. Yes, this video shows textures and bla bla, but maybe they did better color grading in 2018? Or something - because 2018 looks absoluteley beautiful, I couldn't even believe my eyes. Like god damn it's a gorgeous game. And Ragnarok somehow doesn't feel that way. It has great graphics for sure, but 2018 is just prettier. I noticed similar difference in Forza 4 & 5. While 5 clearly has more detail, 4 still looks more realistic and pretty somehow. I don't understand why this is, but my eyes clearly prefer watching Forza 4 and GOW 2018 for some reason.

[@alexcirco3347]

Games like this are great at a cinematic, lay back 30fps with controller, pizza, beer, etc. 40 is perfect. And the slight input delay you'd feel makes the character feel heavy weight. On other games it hides clunky animations or allows non-super-mushy textures. I'm always coming back from 144hz/fps to 30-40fps with no issues for non-fps games.

No doubt that you'll find almost all the aspects compared in this video to be truly better in GOW Ragnarok. But, to my experience, I believe that GOW2018 was directed far better than GOW Ragnarok, thanks to first class direction by Cory Barlog. And the music in GOW Ragnarok has added a few to GOW2018's which was the main theme for both games. Personally, I expected a lot more of innovations, changes, improvements and better quality to be brought to the table by GOW Ragnarok.

The God of War Ragnarok video I was waiting for above all others!

[@danic8835]

Favor Quality + HFR + VRR (40 fps mode unlocked framerate), the most overlooked setting for GOW Ragnarok. Basically you get the highest graphical fidelity at almost all the time 4k Native resolution (like in the 30fps mode) with very minor dips to 1800p (maybe heavy combat) and you also get close to Perfromance mode framerate because you start at 40 fps that is UNLOCKED due to having VRR turned ON. It can go up to 60, so to me that is the best of both worlds. The game is Eyecandy with this setting and you have a really fluid and playable gameplay experience. Playing on performance mode, 60 fps or 80 fps (Favor Performance + HFR + VRR) you basically get GOW 2018 graphics, which are not bad bud it's like you are playing on MEDIUM settings, you miss out on that new global illumination, better shadows, particle effects, textures. You basically get a more immersive gameplay experience if you play in FAVOR QUALITY MODE (either 30fps or 40fps, locked or unlocked). Also Favor Performance mode outputs resolution mostly up to 1800p with rare instances of 2160p (only in 60 fps mode). 80 fps mode on the other hand stays at 1440p and doesnt go higher, thus you get a more blurried image. So it's up to you to pick up what's best but for me Single Player story driven games are meant to be played in a more cinematic way with all the bells and whistles that this game has to offer. I highly recommend if you have a 4k 120hz VRR capable TV to opt in for Favor Quality + High Frame Rate ON + Variable Refresh Rate ON, you will be amazed!

Im torn between watching streams or waiting for the PC release...

Gross don't let streamers ruin the story/gameplay experience for you. Pick up a PS5 or wait for the PC version. Plenty of other games to play if you have to wait, and it's worth it.

Buy a PS4 or PS5 and play it

Great video! I gave my ps4 pro away end of last year so I’ll be extremely excited when Ragnarök is released for PC!!

[@alexanderpintos2963]

2:21 analizando ambos juegos me di cuenta que la iluminación en el rostro de Kratos es mejor en GoW 2018, en Ragnarok los ojos se ven demasiado marcados cuando el resto de la cara se ve más suave, las sombras están más marcadas en 2018 y creo que es por el filtro frío que tiene

Am I the only one here who prefers the 2018 color and graphics especially gameplay. When I first played ragnorok It was so Jarring from the different mechanics and combat idk 100 hours in now something about new one still feels cheap maybe???😅

[@saine414]

Looks sharper but the leap is not that hugh tho. Looks like they took the same game engine and touched up the details stuff like that.

[@GoodGamingMemories]

To analyze the real difference between the two games will only be correct when comparing the PS4 versions of the game, since PC requirements for first game (2018) and the latest game (2022) is different

[@deadlyghost4021]

Read the description both games are being played in ps5

[@drujbanu]

@@deadlyghost4021 yup! Then install the PS4 version of Ragnarok (you can do it from disc) on the Ps5 since the 2018 version running on Ps5 is the PS4 lol He made a little of a mess

[@hououinkyouma3864]

To be brutally honest I did enjoy the art of 2018 more for some reason. Not much difference but still.

[@HenriAGS]

GOW Ragnarok reminds me A LOT of The Witcher 3. Althought with newer and improved technologies. The new gameplay feature (that can be considered a spoiler) is one of the things that flashed this out for me a lot. In TW3 we have the same happen. Really loving this game so far.

This game is really good, but people are overlooking some serious flaws this time around.. The dialogue is substandard compared to the first. There's the obligatory black female who's better that the protagonist at everything she does (woke). Everyone fealt more like regular gods than mortals. The level where you are spending your entire time having what sounds like a lover's quarrel with Freya the entire way through, is so incredibly cringe worthy. Nothing in terms of innovation for the gameplay or music has been added since the previous game. The gameplay is great, but people are looking over some major flaws because of the hype

[@dragonlord3402]

Time to wait another 3 years to be released on Steam.

[@HerstalP90]

Watching this vid to see the changes. But other than that i'm refraining from watching anything else. Since i want to wait for it to come out on PC. Sadly don't have a Playstation. So going to try and avoid spoilers for now.

Does kratos' skin not look paler in the sequel? It could be the lighting or the filter they used. I need answers.

I’m enjoying Ragnarok but It definitely doesn’t strike me as the most beautiful game in the series. You basically have to play it on performance mode if you want to enjoy it and it doesn’t seem as colorful as 2018. Having said that, I’m enjoying the game and it’s definitely worth playing.

[@chrismorrison5301]

God of War 2018 used checkerboard rendering and was a PS4 title with a frame rate cap removal patch. God of War Ragnarök has no checkerboard rendering whatsoever, the resolutions and frame rates are below: PS4: 1080p@30fps PS4 PRO: Performance: 1080-1656p@40-50fps Fidelity: 1440-1656p@30fps PS5: Performance: 1440-2160@60fps (average 1852p) Performance+: 1440p@80-90fps Fidelity: 2160p@30fps Fidelity+: 1852-2160p@40fps The Performance+ and Fidelity+ modes require a 120hz screen, the Fidelity+ mode can be unlocked with VRR.

@@johannessguten2527 They do in this one, the performance+ mode is just an unlocked frame rate. You can unlock the Fidelity+ mode with VRR.

[@elflecha007]

My problem with Ragnarock is that it's literally the same game over again. Same locations filled with the exact same creatures spawning from the exact same places while solvilng the same puzzles. They changed the main god bosses some and went from a warm tone to a cool tone and called it good... I don't care if they added a few new areas. To me this is not worth playing if you already played the first game.
