I've been streaming games seriously since January.... aside from Monster Hunter, I've been just killing time until this is released. So pumped for it.

I had only seen a few clips of it but not much of it has really wowed me. Seeing these reviews for it has me super interested now.

is it a world wide release on Friday? I know its released in the uk/Europe on Friday but wasn't sure on the u.s.a. release date.
only asking so I know I'll be avoiding spoilers in the thread on Thursday/Friday as I want to go into the game blind (I finish work at 4pm uk time on Friday and expect at least a third of the story to be online.)

Brief first impression; I cannot wait to spend approximately all weekend with zero human interaction playing every waking second of this game. Work will drag tomorrow as I wait to play more.

I've been trying to 100 percent Horizon: Zero Dawn and finally finish the Witcher 3, I don't have time for any more great games!

I like it so far. Still getting used to dodging and axe throwing.

I had no idea though there was a light throw and a heavy throw. But I'm still at an early part where I can Mountain Man throw into enemies and one hit them as I call it back. That is some satisfying shit right there.

I'm up to the lake of nine, I'll admit to having died enough times to find his son shouting "father" as kratos falls over dead like a plank of wood incredibly annoying.
I keep forgetting you can stun enemies and get a kill if your close enough.

Getting three hit by absolute damage sponge draugr's wasn't fun at all. Even on normal I typically die once per encounter before I can move on.

Just got it but I'm incredibly leery about playing it. It sounds like the polar opposite of the original series

I did normal up until the one room early on with all the frozen draugres. As long as there’s no trophy for beating the game on each difficulty level, it won’t bother me.

Is this like Mass Effect Andromeda in that I can play it without playing the OG trilogy?

Finished the Stranger fight. The combat thus far is excellent, I've found my playstyle is focused mainly on juggle combos due to my experience with fighting games.

I'll probably pick this up but I'm still of the opinion that Kratos' story ended with GoW III and it should be a new protagonist.
