New God of War

I just traded in my pro for the special edition.

The 2 games they took off me were pro evo 2015 and killzone shadowfall!

Happy days

Leave us know if you get it. Got the dispatch mail from Smyths yesterday aswell but I'm not home until after 5.

Traded in Forza Horizon for it.

20 quid in return for a game i haven't touched in well over a year is a steal.

Just seen COD MWR is on that trade in list for gamestop. I've a copy gathering dust on a shelf so to get God of War for 20 quid with it is brilliant. Hopefully there'll be a few copies left come Saturday because that's the earliest I'll be able to get it.

The offer is just on preorders, isn't it?

Im not sure when it finishes but you have to ask at the counter. Its not on the site. Give your local one a buzz be your best bet.

Seriously considering going for a nap and getting up around midnight. This was the best plan ever.

19-04-2018 3:41pm

Hyped for tomorrow. Won't get to play until the evening tho

was stuck at work, so only checked now and no joy !! But will surely be there for tomorrow !! Even though i have this evening free, but not tomorrow or tomorrow night

Asked my wife to go in to Gamestop a couple of weeks ago to preorder this for me. Just noticed the receipt as limited edition but no final price on it. Maybe it will be the statue one

She cant argue with me as she did the ordering, right??

Battleflag · 19-04-2018 5:30pm

Game was waiting for me when I got in. Installing now, pouring myself a beer and getting ready to dive into this beast!

This tweet would lead me to believe no, it's for any purchase not just pre-orders.

Be careful on YouTube, there are people posting the final battle with spoiler in the thumbnail

sniper_samurai · 19-04-2018 6:04pm

Just got a call from GS on my preorder of the LE, was told the trade in offer will work on that version, but will cost €30 rather than the €20 for the standard.

Some people are just arseholes.

sweetie · 19-04-2018 8:54pm

Just got text saying game is ready for collection. It'd be closed by the time I get there

gimli2112 · 20-04-2018 4:02am

Coming from Bloodborne flipping the x and o buttons around certainly helps me.
Really getting the feeling they are developing the characters very well, I'm starting to root for them already which is a very good sign.

Wow. I've never worked on a single project for 5 years so I can only imagine the relief he feels in that video. Fair play

That's pretty cool actually. He must have known he had a pretty good game but you'd never be 100% sure how the critics react and then to see it change from 93 (which was beyond expectation I'd say) to 94.
Just looking at metacritic now and the surprising thing is there's only 8 negative user reviews out of 83

played a few hours of it so far it's very good

Is it similar gameplay to the previous ones?

No, looks to be more like Last of Us crossed with Dark Souls.

Don't think so, I did find myself thinking it really is just a hack n slash type game but it done differently somehow. Having a long range attack also probably changes it up a bit now I think of it.
The fixed camera makes it a very different experience to the previous games. It looks and plays awesome.

hangar18_ · 20-04-2018 12:44pm

Got my smyths preorder in the post just now. Roll on 4pm

Doctor Nick · 20-04-2018 1:05pm

Might pick it up next week when paid. I'll keep an eye on thread for non spoilery info. Thanks

I dont think that will happen somehow,they have raised the standards on this one technically at least (i havent played it yet) so they'll have to work off that benchmark going forward..

Vicxas · 20-04-2018 1:47pm

Picked this up this morning and played it for an hour.

Have to say im very impressed so far. Combat feels chunky and feels like you're doing damage to people.

Very excited for the rest of it.

2smiggy · 20-04-2018 1:48pm

no Smyths pre order in today's post unfortunately
