Honestly the only think I don’t like about this series is that Cowboy is playing on the hardest difficulty. Every enemy just feels like a total damage sponge, and regardless of skill it’s just less fun to see a literal god struggle against a few raiders.
I love all of the improvements they've made, like having Kratos use the blades to quickly rappel, rather than all the tedious climbing. I miss seeing Atreus rubberband onto his back though. XD
24:00 Kratos translating and reading the runes on his own without relying on Atreus fills my soul with warmth. Fimbulwinter has not been only physical training after all.
Yeah, the shield being broken happened during the Thor fight. A friend of mine is currently playing and I watched him do this fight and usually the game shows you a tutorial message telling you that your shield is broken every time you try to deploy it. Don't know if they patched those messages in (because I don't know when you recorded these) or if they just don't show up on harder settings though.
The boss variety in this first 1hr and 30min has been better than half way through 2018. Shits gonna be fun as fuck! Edit: thanks for going over the skill tree those of us who have to wait awhile to play this or might not get the chance it is immensely appreciated.
And the second half of this episode is why I hate when streamers/Let's Players play on the absolute hardest unfair CBT difficulty. I love Cowboy's commentary and style most of the time, but I just fast-forwarded through all the Huntress attempts honestly. Not looking forward to having to skip 10-15 minutes on every boss from now on, but I can't play the game myself and I still think Cowboy's my best option.
Hey Cowboy, loving all the quick uploads! so far only 3 episodes in myself and the story is starting of amazingly. A quick sidenote i was wondering if you are able to crank up the overall game volume a few notches like you did in episode two.
@@DekkarJr definitely more skill based. Enemies hitting through heavy attacks, harder to break their stance (it seems). Very enjoyable, but a little bit more rough.
My favourite thing about watching LPers is that they always go "extra damage with the axe on burning enemies/blades on frozen enemies? Nice!" And then totally forget to use the mechanic.
Why did you keep using your spartan rage at the very beginning of the fight? I would have saved it til closer to me having low health because your health Regensburg while you are raging.
@@FightinCowboy I got you. I played GoW 2018 again about 2 months ago to refresh my mind about the plot and game play but I can't wait to get off work this morning and get home and play it, it should be downloaded on the PS5 by the time I get home.
Is it just me or is rage mode nerfed damage wise, it seems like you are dealing more damage with your weapons instead I noticed during the thor fight but thought it was because of story wise kratos not dealing as much to a main boss so early.
So many game mechanic, a bit overwhelming for me, so I stick to the basic dodge,perry, attack. Used an occasional special attack when I accidentally did them. Not gonna lie, I like the 2018 GoW combat more.
I found the axe best for me. I used the BOY to distract my Huntress and I knocked her down. I guess the blades can work but she's fire so...I don't know maybe. The hardest part was the raider gank squad. It made me furious. I mean real pissed. #Bullshit #GitGud
Use ps4 save wizard to mod save on ps4 , upload save to online storage and retrieve from there to your ps5 ;) great way to have fun with modded save GOW 5 on PS5
Must be in the Majority I've never played any God Of War game I've played every Souls, Witcher, game, I've watched gameplay from the first God Of War and couldn't say it was anything special a bit overhyped in my opinion.
If you haven't played it for yourself, you can't get a good feel for the combat. It's way better than Witcher's combat imo. It's a lot of fun. Also, GoW 2018 plays completely differently from the first 3 games. I liked the combat a whole lot more than the button mashing of earlier games.

Yea, the basic enemies are just too tanky
Agreed
I agree but at the same time I think once he gets warmed up it'll be easier to watch
The boss fights are genuinely kickass. I do agree that it's wild to watch this literal god struggle like a tiny bitch against some brittle zombies.
I'm betting that things get better as the party levels up. Hard-mode early enemies are always a test of patience, I believe

That fight with Thor was INSANE. You know there's going to be a second one where you fight him with the blades of chaos, and I can't wait for that.
The fact that he's so big compared to kratos, when you fist meet him was like holy shit

Not gonna lie, Odin the ALL FUCKER, sounds good!
Leave it to Brok to come up with the best names
I'm stuck on Xbox. Super hyped to be able to vicariously enjoy this journey with you cowboy! 🤘🏻

you sure you are going to be ok with gmgow for the full game?

Wait for the walkthrough then. This is how people are choosing to enjoy their playthrough.
Then don't watch it.
Not sure why anyone would watch this before playing for themselves, you can come back and watch it later
man im so bummed I dont have a PS console lol. Living through you for now tho cowboy ha
Hey Cowboy, loving all the quick uploads! so far only 3 episodes in myself and the story is starting of amazingly. A quick sidenote i was wondering if you are able to crank up the overall game volume a few notches like you did in episode two.
So u sticking with 3 episodes per day?
Most likely.
Absoloutely loving this. Cannot wait to get a feel for the combat myself
@@DekkarJr definitely more skill based. Enemies hitting through heavy attacks, harder to break their stance (it seems). Very enjoyable, but a little bit more rough.
Best way to beat the Huntress is to power up the ax, freeze it and then use the blades on it while frozen
If you don't use that damn block button!!!

Amazing series!
thank you

Regens*
Haven't played in years and forgot about it.

@@FightinCowboy also you do awesome videos!
Partying in these two gow games is sooo satisfying.
I felt the same way on that thing by the vest just dying instantly like wtf
One thing that kills me with combat is u can’t stagger enemies. At least not as much as they stagger u.
Is it just me or is rage mode nerfed damage wise, it seems like you are dealing more damage with your weapons instead I noticed during the thor fight but thought it was because of story wise kratos not dealing as much to a main boss so early.
Could also be because the stats are all lvl 1, for now.
You have to level it up
CB doin' God's work again.

Ah... good stuff... please keep this EXQUISITE content coming!
How many hours this game till finished?
we need more cowboy, i enjoy binging your vids

Sucks this wont be on pc for a long time
23:28 "whip him, whip him real good" XD
Did the boss use the Elden Ring camera cheat? ;)
What will be the upload times CB?
8am noon 4pm CT
How often is CB uploading these? Can he not stream?
Bagaimana cara melompati batu itu?
Is he gonna 100% complete the game and get everything just like elder ring
watching you try to parry is painful lol
90% of this game wouldn't have happened if Kratos would calm the fuck down and listen to his kid
When you realize, that The voice over of Kratos, belongs to our friendly neighbour Teal’c aka Christopher Judge ❤
gah damn

you died 7 times this episode. your total deaths in the series is: 16.
You died a lot!
Hard pass until I can get it for free on PC. Arrrggggh, maties!
Ok? Nobody asked
@@averagecartoonfan3519 you must be new to RUclips. Cute.
Or just be an adult and support the devs
@@auberginedreams00 I am an adult and i choose to not support Sony.
@@00ABBITT00
Lol. But you where still here watching 🤦🏻♂️ supporting a Sony game 😂

Get your point 👍 but just think it ain't my cup of tea as they say but maybe maybe give it a go some day.
@@ianmilne9633 Maybe wait for a sale, and start with the 2018 GoW. It's got a more soulslike playstyle, with blocking/parrying/etc.
God of war 2018 is a masterpiece.
