Give it time.

I've quit so many games because of brutally boring tutorials/opening sequences.tragabigzanda wrote:I fired this up for the first time a few nights ago and immediately got bored when I was forced to carry a tree trunk at half a mile per hour.daft twat wrote:Man, God of War is fun!

There are some bad offenders out there (ex. Twilight Princess being the absolute worst), but I don't recall the GoW opening being slow or boring though.tommy wrote:I've quit so many games because of brutally boring tutorials/opening sequences.tragabigzanda wrote:I fired this up for the first time a few nights ago and immediately got bored when I was forced to carry a tree trunk at half a mile per hour.daft twat wrote:Man, God of War is fun!

The worst are games where you start out as a younger version of your character.

On day 3 of downloading from the Play store. This game is so portable and disruptive during household chores. Dishes are piling up.i got bugs wrote:Got it on my phone.. love it.. just a lil confused about some of the tarot cardsSimple Torture wrote:Bolatro was added to Game Pass today.
What I’m realizing is most games of the past ten years just take some time to get into. Controls, story, character building, etc. I almost quit Red Dead 2 multiple times in the first 15-20 hours. In the end, I feel like if it was a smaller map, I would have loved it. There was just too much unavoidable travel. But it taught me patience.tragabigzanda wrote:I fired this up for the first time a few nights ago and immediately got bored when I was forced to carry a tree trunk at half a mile per hour.daft twat wrote:Man, God of War is fun!

You definitely level-up with noticeable gains as you go. You'll be able to bitch slap all the Valkyries by the end. Then it's Queen Valkyrie time - she's a toughie, but she's optional. No main story boss is overwhelming. You should be fine.daft twat wrote:What I’m realizing is most games of the past ten years just take some time to get into.

God of War’s opening is crazy fast. Yeah, you cut down a tree and drag it home. Then you do a clumsy deer hunt. But then it is fucking on. Overwhelmingly. I’m really enjoying it. I hope I get good enough to finish it on the regular setting. It’s not looking good at the moment, but I’m optimistic.
Some that are obvious like the ones that level up winning handswashing machine wrote:On day 3 of downloading from the Play store. This game is so portable and disruptive during household chores.

Have you got a hang of the tarots yet?
Yeah, it works like a permanent buff for whatever card you apply it to.i got bugs wrote:Some that are obvious like the ones that level up winning handswashing machine wrote:On day 3 of downloading from the Play store.

That stays there forever right? Well at least til the game is over
Did you enjoy the Pillars games? They're some of my fav. of all time. The world building is next level and I'm eager to check this one out. Knowing me, it won't be for another year or two as I don't do much gaming these days, but still. It's at the top of the list.Simple Torture wrote:Avowed is exactly what I expected it to be, having a good time so far. I’ve put in some multi-hour days but I also think it’ll be a good game to just do 1-2 missions per day.
