God of War Ragnarok is now obtainable on PC and, whereas Sony itself launched an choice to tone down puzzle hints from companions, one fan has launched the Please Shut Up mod to chop them altogether.
Although 2022’s God of War Ragnarok was extremely nicely obtained, promoting a whopping 11 million copies in lower than three months and incomes a ten/10 in IGN’s assessment, one gripe gamers had was with companions throwing out puzzle options earlier than gamers had an opportunity to resolve them themselves.
Sony took motion virtually two years later by releasing a characteristic that will “cut back the frequency” of these hints, however that is solely obtainable within the PC model for now. NexusMods person Mophead01 mentioned these adjustments did “little to resolve the issue,” nevertheless, so made the Please Shut Up mod to take away greater than 1,500 traces of dialogue.
“Drained of companions telling you belongings you already know?,” asks Mophead01. “Drained of the sport treating you want a baby when you do not immediately resolve each puzzle? This mod removes over 1,500 pointless, patronising voice traces from the sport.”
This contains the puzzle hints alongside companions telling the participant to Defend Strike, companions reminding the participant to dam in the event that they get hit, Mimir reacting if the participant is hit with hearth, frost, or bifrost, and extra.
The mod due to this fact goes the additional mile for these drained of the snippets of dialogue who weren’t glad with Sony’s adjustments. PlayStation gamers do not have both choice in the intervening time, as Sony nonetheless hasn’t launched the replace for console even two weeks later.
Developer Sony Santa Monica made clear it was conscious of this frustration in February 2023, with narrative director Matt Sophos saying “the timing for the primary trace was too aggressive and may have had a for much longer countdown timer earlier than one thing comes up.”
