I loved how they tied the usual design of "climbing spot awareness" with the narrative, it is moments like this, the second screen meaning in 999 or corssing the lake back home at the end of Brothers Tale of Two Sons that makes gaming special to me.

Yeah, the ending sequence is amazing. It makes an already amazing game into a better one just with those final last ten minutes or so.

Basically how they make climbing spots obvious ithout breaking immersion because it is believable in the world, in uncharted for exmaple the climbing spots un urban areas are marked with yellow paint on the edges of roofs and some shit so you don't get lost quite as easy as you woudl otherwise.

in Gof of War these are represented by runes that feel kiiinda out of place but you chalk it off as gamey stuff until you get the explanation.

the game was fun. imo, the peak of the game was right when you get the blades of chaos (i did not expect that at all).

i really like how you were misled into thinking you were being chased when the whole time it was your wife's ashes that were being chased (because she's a giant). when i connected that together, my mind was kind of blown. the loki reveal was kind of unexpected.

The mom/Kratos's wife marked those areas beforehand because she was a Giant who could foresee future events.

I mean, assuming her true size is about the same as the Giants you see, probably. Though I'm still confused on if all Giants were giants with sizeshifting abilities or if it was simply a species name.

Atreus laughs at Kratos' ignorance when he thinks all giants are actually gigantic.

I know, but the game itself contradicts him and/or supports my sizeshifting theory. True,they're all dead save for the World Serpent but all the Giants we see were huge. And even those murals you could come across, they were bigger than the other creatures.

Yeah, that explanation for the guidance markers was what blew my mind. Usually stuff like that is ignored and chalked up to "it's a videogame" so that you can have something to guide you where you can go, but that was unexpected. Especially since, to my knowledge, neither Kratos or Atreus even mention why they're all over the place until the end.

Did you see him being a dick at Sindri? it is pretty telling that the storm happened to form right when Atreus was throwing a fit.

I know, but the game itself contradicts him and/or supports my sizeshifting theory. True,they're all dead save for the World Serpent but all the Giants we see were huge. And even those murals you could come across, they were bigger than the other creatures.

As mimir states, myth is often romanticised, atreus says giants are just a race, which is why the giant's mines were made for human sized use.

Thamur was indeed gigantic and mimir states as such when talking about the Thamur shrine.

The mom/Kratos's wife marked those areas beforehand because she was a Giant who could foresee future events.

She marked the specific trees for the pyre too because she knew the forst would lose the magic barrier protection which is why immediately after the pyre Baldur arrives, she set th whole thing in motion, I really was wondering if she knew her marked trees would break the barrier and why she would do something that puts her husband and kid in danger, we find out at the very end.

the second screen which was the perspective of akane looking into the morphogenetic field, which is why when you do the last puzzle you ahve to turn the DS upside down as you are compelting the puzzle in her timeline in order to pass the knowledge onto Junpei at the moment he is tryign to solve the puzzle in the timeline that the game takes place in

Allegedly? Corey Barlog even confirms it. He's not allegedly, he's definitely Loki. Makes sense too him being half giant and also a god. They intentionally foreshadowed the reveal several times throughout the game.

It wasn't just him. Every corpse in Jotunheim(sp?) was his size.

Yup, I love it when story elements are conveyed trough gameplay, it;s something that a movie would never be able to do.

Sorry, sometimes I roll my face on the keyboard as fast as I can during the LoL loading screen, helps to be ready once the match starts :P
