MysterD: 1440p (2560 x 1440) is often referred to as 2K, even if it's technically really 2.5K.
Yeah this baffles me, if 3840x2160 is "4k", then the only "2k" is 1920x1080. The way people keep labelling 1440p as 2k is really annoying and misleading.

Sarang: Naw someone previously talked about they wanted to play it in German as it is closest to Old Norse.
avatar
amok: Maybe they got it confused with proto-germanic?

but that is still not German language... nor old Norse....but closer to old Norse than German
I don't see how a german Translation could be anywhere close to old norse or even old germanic.
Closer than english ? Maybe.
But if you want to go closest to the root you would probably need a Scandinavic language.
Now if someone actually understood the intertwinenment of Norse and Germanic people and myths that could work.

Wouldn't it be nice if we had binding Standards.

Reaper9988: Messing up established Series and even ancient Myths does definitely make it worse.
I don't mind them making new stuff but it's just as with other Media, messing up established stuff is just bad.

As for woke not necessarily bad, generally agreed but I found a lot of woke media focuses on the ideology and the story and content suffers for it. Not to mention it's often extremely cringy implemented.
I'm looking at you BG3.....

Can't speak for Dune 1 or 2 as I didn't watch it and didn't read up on it. Really not interested in the reboot.

Mafwek: God of War series mess up ancient Myths just by existing - Olympians, Titans and Protogenoi can't be killed, period. Kratos does it from day one.

Cringy implementation is result of bad writing, and almost everything suffers from it these days. Larian was never good at writing.
Original God of War was a fantasy world inspired by Greek mythology. New God of War promoted itself by being faithful to the original myths while twisting it to make it more approachable to "the modern audience".

Yeah, that ain't happening on Standards that make sense.

Yes, "2K" (if we going by 1st number) should be 1920x1080, as it is close enough to 2K - similar to how 3840 is rounded up to normally called "4K." Those ones make sense to me, though.

But, calling 1440p (2560x1440) "2K" screws the whole mess up, when it's really 2.5K.

Go figure; I'm not the one that coined these terms.

Boys,
I did not want to start a storm about resolutions.
My bad, I did really called my one colloquially as 2K by my mistake and I am truly sorry for that.
I hope this statement will let us to stay a little closer to the op topic here ;)
Kratos bless you,
Sincerely, a casual iddqd story mode player

CMiq: FYI: Sweet Baby Inc wasn't involved in this one, only in the Ragnarök follow-up and therefore should be ESG/DEI-free for the most part.
Is Ragnarök the game with the infamous afro-american vikings or whatever? Figures I guess.
Could still be a good game, but still...

As for this GoW game, yeah, bought. So many people seemed to already believe it is not coming at all... which reminds me, where is Atlas Fallen, boy?!?

I am sorry, but new God of War's faithfulness to myths begins and ends with Odin being a douche. Okay, I am exaggerating but I wouldn't call new God of War very faithful to Norse Myths just like old one wasn't really faithful to Greek Myths.

Game isn't out on PC yet.

However there are mods for this God of War that turns Kratos into Homer Simpson, Batman, Xena: Warrior Princess..... so I'm sure someone will do it.

Syphon72: My wife was playing Horizon Forbidden West and started complaining about how ugly they made her. Also, it was obvious they were trying to force relationships on the character with certain NPCs for no reason.
That is unfortunately the trend for many games these days. Mass Effect trilogy to Mass Effect Andromeda being a good example.

In Andromeda's defense they were forced to switch to the Frostbite engine from Unreal so that may have been more due to assets not transitioning over to the new engine properly.

Not defending the results though Frostbite was not made for the type of game Andromeda (and even Inquisition) was and the team had to design new engine elements due to this.

It's the game with the black lesbian samurai as the protagonist, right?
