Yeah in the queue area and the plane drop off it dips really low, but once you're in the game is settles more in the mid 20's.
If you don't have an X then definitely wait for some more optimization updates.
So Xbox One gets no foliage so there isn't stuff blocking other players, but they also can't hide behind any them self. Also the X1X players get a MASSIVE draw distance advantage which is way more crucial... So I can't see how there is an advantage to the X1 players...
Edit: Also considering there is a good 10fps difference between the X1 and X1X most of the time.

Yeah I have seen the combat trailers, but its still not anywhere near the grand scale the other games were. It does however feel more intimate and like I said before if that fits better with the overall tone of the game then I'm sure it will settle in just fine. Its just something that I'm sure I'll get over as soon as I start playing it.
Also most of the kill animations in the original games zoomed in close to show you the gory go...
Noice! Will hop back on this weekend.
Well welll wellllll now... haha
I do hope there will be some surprise weapons because the Norse mythology has some awesome ones.
And no I don't know how the combat will be overall, just expressing my concern as a long time GoW fan with core mechanics being changed. As the other guy BlackBeast pointed out to me about the QTE's that is a good system. I just thought I read in an interview a while ago that they said "No QTE's at all", but they are kind of now doing a more free form versi...
@Mafiah
WTF are you even babbling about? Where did I say I was glad QTE's are gone? If anything I have been saying I'm more worried about the changes they are making to combat.
Also I have owned every PlayStation console since PS1 and have played every GoW game there is. Shut up with your fanboy shit and knock off those lame ass emojis.
I absolutely love the GoW series. The story is much deeper than what most people think that haven't played them all. QTE's where an absolute blast because they were always super over the top and awesome.
" but the core mechanics is completely changed."
And that is what worries me a little. I'm a huge GoW fan and changing its core mechanics has me nervous exactly how much different will it feel.
I guess we will just have to see about the combat once we play it. I get nervous with change haha
About the QTE's, that's great news, thank you!
Actually if you look at GoW 3 it didn't get its firm release date until Jan 28th and then it launched March 16th. So its still very possible it's going to be a March release.
Well I think this confirms that it won't be having a March release date unless they are going to talk about it at GDC and do one of those "It's available NOWWWWW" things, but I highly doubt it. I'm sure we will get a release date at GDC along with a lot of other info. I'm thinking around maybe May or June for the release date?
Edit: However, God of War 3 didn't get the official release date until Jan 28th and then released March 16th so there ...
Are you referring to the new combat system?
The combat to me still seems like a big step backwards, but if the slower nature fits the over all pacing and smaller battles better than so be it.
I am kind of bummed that all we get are the axe, shield and bow unless they are keeping some other weapons hush hush.
Also, I thought they said they took out all QTE's? From what I just read is that they are still there, just properly used with specific actions instead of random button presses.
...
Well I beat this Sunday and loved it. Difficult but not impossible at all. Sucks the patch is coming late, but I guess better late than never, huh?
"Might as well had kaz break dancing in the background"
If Kaz was singing this and doing ^^that, it would be the best ever because everyone knows Kaz and it would be corny, but funny. This is just bad because it's suppose to be serious and it's just... no
... wellllll now
Well this is cringey as hell haha but I don't even know who this guy is.
All of them for me.
My buddy has been playing it on his base Xbox... Its ugly, its buggy, but he is having a blast. The game is not perfect or even a looker on PC, but its FUN and FUN > Graphics.
I'm not excusing the sub 20fps though... that needs to get changed right away to AT LEAST a solid 30fps.
