Lin Xue shared her thoughts on the opening of God of War 4 with the audience as she rowed the boat.
"There's so much foreshadowing at the beginning. I don't know why the father and son would travel so far to chop down a tree. But I feel like the relationship between father and son is problematic. The father calls the son 'boy', while the son says' Sir 'to the father.
No matter how I look at it, this doesn't seem like a normal father-son relationship! "
After all, Kratos's father killed his grandfather, and Kratos killed his own father, grandmother, siblings, aunts, and other relatives. From the looks of it, preventing his own son from calling him 'father' is a way to deal with him with a strong desire to live … 'Kratos thought to himself.
The deepest impression Lin Xue had of God of War 4 was that the pace of the game had slowed down.
In the previous "God of War 1" to "God of War 3", the players were either killing gods or on their way to killing gods. The scenes that they passed by were all very cool mythological scenes, such as the Underworld and the Olympus Temple.
But in the opening of God of War 4, Kratos and his son were like a hunter family living in seclusion in the snowy plains. They chopped wood, rowed the boat, chopped firewood, burned their mother …
Ahem, in short, their lives were very peaceful and calm. It was like they were living in seclusion, far away from all the fighting and killing.
Lin Xue didn't even get to see what Kratos's wife looked like. She had already passed away and was wrapped up tightly. She was cremated a few minutes later and turned into a pile of ashes.
But thinking about it, this wasn't the first time Kratos had lost his family. The last time he lost his wife and daughter. Their ashes were forever attached to his body, causing his skin to turn as pale as this.
Another deep impression was the use of the camera.
This time, the camera had an over-the-shoulder view, and the entire opening was done in one shot. This gave Lin Xue the illusion that she was playing the Nordic version of American Apocalypse.
"So I have to help Kratos take care of his son? Huh?
me？ I'm the God of War, and I have to teach this kid how to hunt? "
Lin Xue was very unhappy with the opening. What the hell was this?
I entered this game to have fun. Can you please spawn a bunch of small monsters for me to mow, or a big guy for me to QTE?
But what am I doing now? Follow a brat and watch him hunt? What's more, this brat's archery wasn't accurate at all. He was even bluffing when he saw his prey. Luckily, Kratos had a good temper now. If it was the old Kratos, he might have already kicked him.
But now, Kratos even had to suppress his anger when he spoke a little louder. It could only be said that no matter how powerful a man was, he would still be tortured into a little lamb by his own brat …
Lin Xue watched as the mischievous brat casually shot an arrow and scared the deer away. In the end, Kratos snatched the bow from the mischievous brat's hands and scolded him.
"Kratos is so strict … but why doesn't this brat inherit any of his father's combat talent? Your father is the God of War. Sigh, each crab is worse than the last. " Lin Xue's heart ached when she saw the little rascal being scolded by Kratos. However, when she thought about it, she felt that the little rascal deserved it. How could he live up to his father's battle prowess? He couldn't even shoot an arrow properly …
Very soon, Lin Xue encountered her first battle. Undead soldiers appeared out of nowhere and pounced at her. Kratos didn't return the bow to his son, Atreus. Instead, he waved the Leviathan Axe and killed all the monsters.
"It's so uncomfortable. My arms are so short …"
Lin Xue, who was used to using the Blade of Chaos, obviously had a lot of complaints about the Leviathan Axe. It was because this weapon wasn't very useful compared to the Blade of Chaos.
The Blade of Chaos was one of the best weapons Lin Xue had ever played. It had a high attack speed and a wide attack range. It could also perform a series of special actions, such as hooking onto the anchor points on the wall and using them as ropes. However, the attack range of the axe was too close. Lin Xue didn't know if she was hallucinating, but it didn't seem like the axe's attack power was very high. It couldn't even hit a few monsters.
The only advantage was that it could fly back after being thrown. But for Lin Xue, that didn't change the fact that she wasn't used to this weapon.
"It seems like I'll have to fight with this brat for a long time in this game. Sigh, so annoying. Why does the God of War have to carry a burden? "
"Forget it. He's my son after all. You can just stand by the side and shout 666. Watch how your father carries you as a God of War."
In the beginning, Lin Xue felt that Atreus, the mischievous child, was quite disliked. She was even worried that this burden would affect her plan to slay a god. However, as the plot progressed, Lin Xue slowly developed a better impression of the mischievous child. This was especially so when they were killing the deer. The interaction between Kratos and his son was very touching.
This made the God of War game more humane than ever. Kratos was no longer the cold-blooded killing machine. It was obvious that he had deep feelings for his son, but he didn't know how to express them.
While the father and son were still mourning for the deer, a huge hand suddenly reached out from the bottom of the cliff and grabbed the deer's carcass!
"Ah! Oh my god, he's finally here! My old enemy!! "
Lin Xue's impression of this guy was too deep. Wasn't this the ogre that threw her off the cliff when God of War was first released?
Only now did Lin Xue understand that this thing's official name was' Mountain Troll ', and this monster had never appeared in God of War 1 to 3.
Kratos passed the bow to his son. From the looks of it, the father and son were going to work together to fight against the mountain troll.
"Brat, watch carefully. Watch how your God of War father deals with this big guy! Alright, stand here and don't move. I'll go buy you a few oranges. "
Lin Xue was instantly energized. What were the small monsters in front of her? These big guys were Kratos's cup of tea!
The small monsters that she had fought previously weren't even enough to fill the gaps between Kratos's teeth. Finally, someone who could fight was here.
However, as they fought, Lin Xue felt that something was wrong. Why did it feel like the combat system had completely changed …
Actually, the combat system of the VR version of God of War didn't change much. It was still the next generation of VR. However, the weapon was different. In the past, it was a chain blade, now it was an axe. How could it be the same?
In the past, she could just swing her chain blade a few meters away from the monster. Now, she had to hold an axe close to the monster's face and slowly heal it. Furthermore, Kratos didn't have any superhuman powers anymore. His health bar dropped very slowly. Lin Xue felt uncomfortable just looking at him.
The mountain troll's health finally reached rock bottom. Lin Xue once again entered bullet time and used the QTE that she was familiar with.
Kratos jumped onto the mountain troll's back and punched its bald head. He then grabbed its broken horn and smashed its head onto the ground, breaking its neck.
