When an Elden Ring Pro plays God of War For the First Time

[@DJSelphi]

The hardest difficulty is extremely unforgiving. You’ll enjoy the story more if you swallow your pride and lower it 😂

[@swaswj414]

It's really the unfun kind of difficulty, too, where enemies just get a lot of health. If you want to do it for a challenge run, go for it. For a first-time run, you probably don't want to die 3-5 times on every encounter in a game that has thousands of encounters.

[@NotPolarEX]

Ok one more time and if I still hate myself I may lower it

[@vlinnstone6919]

​@@swaswj414 it's actually NOT the unfun kind lol, and there's a lot the difficulty does that changes up the gameplay, way more than just make enemies more tanky (which it doesn't btw, remember it's still an RPG lol) it makes enemies more aggressive and makes them attack you in tandem more, every enemy now has a different staggering point which you gotta experiment with the combat to find (excluding certain enemies and bosses ofc), you take more damage, enemies can level themselves up during combat which incentivizes aggressive play and generally keeps you on your toes

[@bphater31]

​​@@NotPolarEX Spartan rage heals you. And better get the parry counter attack skill. And when you fight with no weapons. The stun meter goes up quickly for you to do a stun grab.

[@necrago]

@@NotPolarEX Didn't you read at the start of the game? You CAN'T change it after you start, unless you start an entirely new save.

​@@NotPolarEXY cual es más difícil, elden ring o god of war?

[@martinmijailperezzavaleta1024]

​​@@manuelalejandroalmonacidri9820elden ring es difícil pero justo, god of war en su máxima dificultad esta pensada para cuando te lo pasas por segunda vez ya que te matan de dos golpes si tienes suerte. Eh muerto más veces en god of war que en elden ring xd mayormente porque esquivar es más constante en eldenring y eso que jugué con build de fuerza mid roll sin invocaciones ni nada puro estus y golpes. En god of war el esquive ta medio raro ya que te da frames pero en cierto tiempo de la animación y no en toda la animación además en alta dificultad parece más sekiro teniendo que hacerle parry a casi todo . Como dije está pensado para una segunda jugada ya que no te deja aprender ataques del enemigo facilmente por que te mueres al mínimo error haciendo que tengas que morir muchas veces en aprender cada ataque.

[@manuelalejandroalmonacidri9820]

@@martinmijailperezzavaleta1024 El caso de god of war lo conozco más que bien, preguntaba más que nada por elden ring, ya que nunca lo e jugado, quería saber cuál era más difícil, como bien dices god of war la primera vez que lo juegas es muy difícil, pero después jugarlo por segunda o tercera vez, incluso en la más alta dificultad al menos para mi es un paseo, de hecho para que sea un desafío en la más alta dificultad, tengo que utilizar armaduras de más bajo nivel

[@michaelplaczek9385]

You most definitely want to explore. Also, a good combat tip is to get used to dodging once, not relying on rolling because dodging once makes counterattacking quicker

[@Marci-167-]

[@saskue357]

@@S.O.N.G_Universe I mean it does. The combat becomes waaaaaaaaaay too repetitive, and the feeling of being a badass god of war is just gone. GoW isn't a souls-like, it's an action adventure cinematic game. Same reason you don't play the uncharted games on the hardest difficulty, where 2 bullets and you're dead. It ruins the fun imo. But to each their own.

[@S.O.N.G_Universe]

@@saskue357 bro what you’re saying is not different from what I was saying, he made that choice. He wanted it to be like a souls like plus I’ve finished the game on give me god of war, it isn’t meant to be played with fresh equipment. We’re on the same page

[@talyn5304]

You are hilarious!! I really enjoyed your playthrough, your frustration was VERY reminiscent of my own the first time. If I may offer you just one teenie, tiny piece of advice: kill as many enemies as you can while they're still statues. No matter how powerful they'll become once animated, in statue form, its a one hit kill! This will help you a little with crowd control! You have a really good knack for this game. Keep going...you got this!! =) Liked & Subscribed!!

[@MajinMCX]

Just watched your entire wukong series man i dropped a sub

[@Recruit-Xarisan]

A tip for early game on this difficulty, put the axe away and smack people for stuns, also remember to use ya spartan rage (orange bar below your health), which also builds faster when using your fists. Also, try and single dodge for normal attacks, parry for yellow indicators and roll for reds, you got this big dawg👌

[@TheMeTreeHouse]

2 tips 1. Hard throw your axe to freeze at least 1 enemy 2. Punching people without the axe does crazy stun damage. Stunning them let's you rip them in half no matter how much health they have left.

[@yuzuki2385]

0:34 This is a soft reboot. It's okay to start here. They're still going to give you tidbits of what happened in the past games. So you good.

[@soheilbarati]

Yea give me GMGOW difficulty is extremely tough if youre not acustomed to the combat and how to handle the gangbangs. You gotta play aggresive and focus on finishing them off before switching targets, you have to stop their healing and lvling up or you lose progress. And Im pretty sure you can do counter attacks after the parry that does a lot of stun damage but maybe you havent unlocked it yet, cant remember

[@NotPolarEX]

Mmmmm that counter mechanic would go crazy

[@soheilbarati]

@@NotPolarEX yea you can either do heavy counter that slams the ground and does aoe stun dmg or light where you knock someone away with the shield that does more dmg and stun dmg. Knocking them in to a wall does craazy stun dmg. Against bigger or higher lvl enemies the counter doesnt actually stunlock them but the stun meter still goes up and they still take dmg. You can also charge you axe throws for more dmg, headshots also do more dmg and can stun certain enemies as well. Heavy axe throw can get stuck on weaker enemies and they are frozen until you call back your axe, then you can use bare fist attacks to do crazy stun damage.

[@drizzyhater01]

“i’m not blind to the lore” “don’t bbq me” not even 5 mins later doesn’t pick up on the bandages kratos is tightening from blades of chaos😭

[@caeruXXI]

I also played it for the first time on Give me God of War. It becomes more fair as you level up, but never trully easy. Its fun tought, for me at least.

[@rainyfriday6175]

In terms of difficulty, I will say this game on GMGOW is harder than any of the dark souls game. Ragnarok isn’t as hard in the main story, but some of the secret bosses will have you tearing out your hair, definitely some of the hardest ish I’ve ever been through.

[@lucifermorningstar910]

I’m gonna throw my 2 pence in, I played the original trilogy from launch and the HD remasters and platinumed them. However I too have NOT played 2018 yet, it is in me list so hold on a minute. I’m fully aware of the whole storyline in 2018, and for a new player there’s a point in the game that reveals kratos past and who he is which would probably work as a “surprise” for new players, but seeing kratos’ journey in the originals have to be witnessed 1st hand. Definitely. Hopefully the rumours of a remake is true and can do justice to the original trilogy

[@DrasticSkuba]

Once you get used to the timing and flow of combat, you'll be glad you chose the God of War difficulty. Also, to anyone that is coming with Soulsbourne games or The Witcher 3, I recommend changing the controls so that ⭕️ is the dodge instead of X

[@bartholomew1096]

[@AhmedAwosome]

actually you can do it, and always try to through the enemies of the ledge with a heavy attack and have some patience if the enemy is full hp they can not level up so try to control your attacks, and the last thing this is by far the hardest area in the game, it will get easier.

At one moment, in the main quest it's just too hard to progress through the main story because of how hard the difficulty is (god of war). There so many enemies that when you hit one of them they run away and level up while regenerating their health. And at one moment you literally get 10 enemies who are level 8 it's insane. You also can't skip this quest because you are force to kille these enemies. But it's only on the first play through that it get hard.
