Did you ever play New Super Mario Bros Wii U with the Gamepad? Apparently it adds a lot.

The way we play is everyone has a Wii remote and I have the GamePad on my lap, so I'm actually operating both at the same time. It works OK. I end up making platforms for jumps and those hard to reach 3-up moons that you can only get on the GamePad.

Same. Designers mentioned Dark Souls as inspiration. It should fit me well.

The switch in mythology and the focus on making Kratos more "human" is really going to make the story compelling. I'm not worried about the gameplay. I'm sure it will be great. The axe being a Thor-like hammer is going to be really fun.

Chalk me up on the God of War bandwagon, been playing this series since the first one and this one will be gorgeous on the PS4 Pro on my big ass 4k display. Excited to see the purported game length is around 30-35 hours (probably more for me cause I'm a pretty shitty gamer).

Oh yes, will be heavenly in 4k.

Started Bloodborne for the third time. I am way too overpowered for this new game plus, but am loving it. What an absolute masterpiece.

Sea of Thieves looks like so much fun. Too bad it's a Microsoft exclusive :cry:

Right?? I forgot how tough the dlc was though. Some of the areas kicked my ass.

What are the restrictions with the free version?

What's your weapon of choice? I've been rocking the threaded cane in this playthrough experimenting with the range.

Nice, I want to try out the threaded cane.

Going with the Holy Moonlight Sword. Love the special attack and wanted a weapon that scales well with arcane.

I haven't messed much with arcane. What does it add? I'm pretty much balls to the wall attack. Used the saw cleaver in the first playthrough.

arcane increases item drop rate and general magic potency.

Also, moonlight sword scales well with strength, skill and arcane. so once arcane stops giving good returns on leveling up I can move on down to skill and so on.

Cool cool. I'm at a level 150 right now so I've reached the good leveling caps on a couple of areas. Might pump them into arcane next.
