Oh. Eh yea. I might play it someday. Other stuff I would rather play right now
Dude, donāt get that threadripper CPU- the new ones will use a different socket, and the old ones are pretty mediocre for gaming. Youād be much better off with one of the new Ryzen 3000 series CPUās. Read this, take a good look at the numbers, consider the difference in MOBO pricing, and consider that an AM4 board will be good for another gen. https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/amd-ryzen-7-3700x-ryzen-9-3900x-review,1.html

Or even this one, honestly: https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/amd-ryzen-5-3600-review,1.html
That IPC and clock difference will maul the 1920X for gaming, and even the 3600 is still pretty respectable for production work.

sheeeitttt, God of War 3 had one of the greatest introductory sections Iāve ever had the pleasure of playing, manā¦ it was late night on day 1 after the midnight launch eventā¦ so the early morning hours of a Wednesday; I had work that morning but still stayed up to play a bit of it. That battle against Poseidon, manā¦ and the visuals being better than anything else on ps3 or 360 at the time if I recallā¦ Poseidonās voice booming from the speakersāāYOU have disrespected the gods for the LAST TIME, Kratos.ā BRUH. THEN after that you end up in the underworld and have that fight with Hades. Holy shit manā¦ I also donāt understand the hateā¦that introā¦ goddamn, man. * banderas gif *
I had one hell of a run going on in Dead Cells today on my lunch hourā¦ 20 points in Ranged/purpleā¦ with an S-rank Quick Bow. I am forever doomed to stay in Very Hard 2-cell difficulty though. Sadly I am not Goku enough to get beyond that. I got close on 2 occasions though where I made it to the ālastā bossā¦yepā¦just 2 out of an insane # of attempts.
ha, if that game existed back in the the day, Iād bet money my constantly lying friend back then wouldāve claimed he beat the game on 5-cell difficulty one time. Iād have to struggle once again to keep from laughing in his eternally lying face. (same guy who once claimed he flipped an Abobo in Double Dragon back thenā¦also would say he had ALL the gaming systems, though some were conveniently at his Dadās house in another state)

God of War 3 was pretty good. Itās the one that came after it that sucked. The one with shoehorned in multi-player.
@PresidentCamacho isnāt the THREADRIPPER line using a new socket? The mobo I want to get is more expensive than AM4 mobos because of that reason.
Iām going from Intel to AMD. I forget what the THREADRIPPER socket is called but it was different than AM4. I want to future proof as much as possible, and going THREADRIPPER seems to be the way to go. Once more gpus with Ray tracing release Iāll grab one and that should be enough to coast the entirety of next-gen.
First gen threadrippers are not good for gaming. Productivity is their strength. I just got a Ryzen 3700X and 5700XT Combo. Couldnāt be happier. My custom laptop is no push over 7700K and GTX 1080 but man Iām loving my Ryzen setup.

Looking at the THREADRIPPER 1920x and comparing it with the 3700x Iām not seeing much of a difference. THREADRIPPER has more cores, the 3700x has like a 100mhz higher clock with turbo boost and it costs a 100 bucks more.
Imma need to do more research but itās not fun on a phone. 
From a gameplay standpoint GoW3 was great, believe the only real issue with that game came from the story. Kratos started out being a semi sympathetic character in 1 but starting around 2 the sympathy was starting to run out and then in 3 the sympathy for any of his actions was fully gone. GoW 2018 reins his character back in majorly.

Cores donāt matter much for gaming. Frequency matters more. If cores is something you want go with a 3900X or the newly released 3950X.
Third gen threadripper will use a different socket from first and second gen threadripper. Youāll be handicapping your upgrade path using the older threadripper.
Ok darc and presidente I did some research.
Going with an all mighty Ryzen 3900x. With the money I saved switching mobos, I can go with this beefy ass CPU. I could go for a 3700x followed by buying a new GPU, but I donāt want a new GPU that doesnāt have ray tracing out the box.
3900x
MSI Mobo with an AM4 socket
16GB 3200 Mhz ddr4 ram
1 TB WD ssd
Was like 70 bucks cheaper than what I wanted before. Same amount of cores as a THREADRIPPER cpu I was looking at but each core is faster.

You certainly bring up a valid point. While the action and gameplay in GOW 3 is still top notch (and the brutality which Kratos displays is at an all-time high, like the guy doesnāt give 2 fucks), his character arc seems to get stale after a while. This guy LITERALLY unleashed hell on earth by killing the gods and he was vehemently unaware of it/disinterested for pretty much the entire game. Like, he pretty much wiped off Greece off the face of the earth in his quest for vengeance, killing thousands (if not millions) of innocent people and yet ended with nothing.
The Gaia heel turn at the beginning of the game was also pretty dumb.
Even the introduction of the Pandora girl to give Kratos a bit more sympathy did little to nothing.

Iāve always liked when the GOW games really leaned full force into Kratosā brutal asshole personality.
I mean, letās be real. A huge reason why GOW 2018 is great is because of the almost total contradiction in personality it depicts to his previous games.
But, after the trilogy, yeah the formula started getting a little stale. Even as someone who enjoyed Ascension as well as the PSP titles.

Instructions per clock cycle (IPC) is massively better on ryzen 3000 too, and that makes a huge difference for gaming.

Iād even hesitate to call what Gaia did a full on heel turn since the only thing she did was just not try to prevent Kratos from falling while she was getting crit hit by Zeusā lightning bolts which considering her position at the moment I get. She even gave him āits not personal, just businessā talk as it was happening but Kratos immediately went āNOPEā¦EVERYONE FUCKING DIES NOWā.
The gains should be massive. My last PC lasted 8 years or so, and I wanted to squeeze out another year or two but I REKT some of the pins on the cpu socket. maybe Iāll try to get it going again but Iām pretty sure itās done.
Once I slap a new GPU into this new rig Iām putting together I can easily see it lasting 8 to 10 years. Once sheās all put together thereās no way the PS5 is going to beat her in raw performance.
Iām hype. Will post pics whenever sheās all put together. Not having a Pc sucks though, I want to play some tekken 7 but I canāt. Faaaa
Well, Kratos IS the God of War so his character never got stale to me. That dude is Dolemite, fuckin mfers up is his game and i loved him for it. Idk what yall were expecting when he was doin that shit 4 games prior (I do like where the reboot went with his character tho)

You were never. Ever. Ever. Supposed to like Kratos as an antagonist cause he never was one. He was the anti-hero and arguably villain through and through.
The total 180 the sequel/reboot did was an amazing change of pace and a much welcomed change at that.

The 3900X is a beast. I donāt care about Raytracing for now. The performance hit is far too high what it provides. If Raytracing is your thing youād probably be best off getting a cheap GPU to hold you over until the RTX3000 series or the next generation of RNDA based Radeons. From what Iāve been hearing the PS5 and Scarlett feature the next version the Radeonās architecture with native Raytracing support. Even if it canāt match the RTX3000 series, it will likely cause Nvidiaās produce a better product for the dollar. I mean look at the RTX āSuperā lineup. Only reason itās around is because Nvidia actually got a little competition in the mid range.
Edit: IIRC the next set of RTX cards roll out in the first quarter of next year.

Ray tracing isnāt worth it until thereās more support for it. Itās been over a year and I can still count the amount of supported games on both hands.
