High On Life's DLC Hilariously Mocks God Of War Ragnarok's Puzzle Spoilers

The recently released High on Life DLC, High on Knife, takes a jab at God of War Ragnarok's puzzle-spoiling mechanic that irked many players.

[ravens52]

Lol. I always got em before he said anything anyway lol

[Seth_hun]

How? Because boy spoiling the puzzle before you even see it :D

[MrNinosan]

Same, wasn't there a setting for how quickly Atreus would spoil shit 😏

[JEECE]

Yeah I heard a lot about this before I played, and then it almost never affected me when I played the game (the few times it did were with bird form Freya).

Honestly it makes me wonder if a bunch of people are just really terrible at puzzles and took forever to do them and got hints. It's either that or they patched the game to slow down the hints (I played about 5 months after launch).

[H9]

Couldn't get more accurate tho

[GoodGuy09]

I like GOW puzzles but honestly I felt there was way too much in Ragnarok.

[Abnor_Mal]

Agreed

[LoveSpuds]

Perhaps another dev will include content in their game mocking devs who devalue their work by giving their games away on streaming services and then expecting to be able to charge full price for it a year later?

[Abnor_Mal]

Definitely agree

[PhillyDonJawn]

That doesn't devalue their work. They get paid regardless. How you wanna spend to play is up to the consumer

[LoveSpuds]

Getting paid my MS still devalued their work squire. Rightly or wrongly, when they announced the PS5 version of the game, I didn't give two hoots. It was an old game by the time it came, all the buzz had gone and I knew it was free elsewhere; there was no chance I was paying full price for that
now old game, it wasn't worth it in my view.

[babadivad]

Even in articles that have absolutely nothing to do with GamePass, someone will inevitably bring it up.

Welcome to N4G.

[Rgbsquad]

Yeah I cringed when I read his comment. Like fr

[porkChop]

It's just a lighthearted joke. Don't take it so seriously.

[jambola]

Sad when other developers put more effort into Mocking a flaw than Santa Monica does into fixing it

[Christopher]

Literally a setting in Ragnarok to turn it off/lessen how often it happens.

[jambola]

No
There isn't

[Juvia]

Yes
There is

All you are doing is showing that you never played it. What a fool.

[jambola]

Then tell me where
and if you're saying that, you're saying the same about the actual developers too

[Christopher]

Nah, jambola is correct and I was misremembering the setting. It was Time Delay for puzzles, not hint delay.

[DarkZane]

Bold move from a dev with a shitty game to blast one of the best game this generation so far. They spoil puzzles a little too fast, but it's better than your game being absolute garbage that no one would play without gamepass.

[goldwyncq]

They’re not wrong though. It’s honestly baffling how Ragnarok got away with this. Why even have puzzles if your companions are just going to spoil the solution before you even have the chance to solve it? The Uncharted games have a system where you can choose to hear a hint after a certain amount of time has passed. That’s how it should’ve been done.

[jambola]

Baffling for a 2022 game

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

If you find this 'offensive' here it is from the horse's mouth:

[Walweeze]

Gamers do whine about everything these days.

[jambola]

Yeah
Like just let the game ruin puzzles and constantly tell you what to do against your will
Nothing wrong with that of course

[Walweeze]

If a game is broken, a buggy mess, or just really subpar then sure i get the complaints, but something as small as being given hints and people acting like its the worse thing ever? Its a non issue and doesn't impact/ diminish the game what so ever

[jambola]

That's your opinion
If people like to play the game themselves, and have hints forced on the because the Devs didn't care enough, then that's a valid complaint
And no, it's not "been given hints" it's the fact they're fixed on you

[tay8701]

Let them be cheeky, the real real joke is they will never be even be 1/10th the studio Santa monica is :-)

[jambola]

No the real joke is pathetic weirdos attacking them for a lighthearted jab

[tay8701]

Lol I see you aren't disputing my comment though.

[jambola]

I don't need to dispute an opinion

[tay8701]

Maybe because that opinion is closer to fact than you like? Maybe squanch should try a little harder when it comes to actually making a good game. Let me know when they make a game that even gets remotely close to the quality of God of war.

[jambola]

No
You claiming they will never be 1/10th with no further info is an opinion
That's just a fact

[tay8701]

Fact is squanch will never be on Santa monicas level, that isn't debatable. So what if I picked an arbitrary number. The fact is they will never be on their level, or even remotely close to it. Again get back with me when they release a game anywhere near god of wars quality.

[jambola]

It's very debatable
Because "on their level" is a meaningless subjective phrase
So get back to me when you learn the difference between opinion and fact

[tay8701]

On their level, like ever making a game of the yr winner, or a game of thr yr contender or hell how about just Making a game that isn't completely mid at best for starters. Santa Monica are one of the best gaming studios in the world, squanch is no where near that. I know you bots are used to stanning for sub par games, so it might be hard for you to accept. 😆

[Stanjara]

That joke is absolutely on point.

[Trilithon]

Ragnarok had way to much talking. especially form Atreus. and often you cant skip it. that game really dragged on like they're trying to make a Disney animated film.
