AKheon | God of War: Ragnarök (PS4) - pointless menu glitches @AKheon | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
It's not the most interesting video in the world, but this should be documented too... I guess?
0:00 - in the original unpatched God of War: Ragnarok it was not possible to enter the Options-menu from the Pause-menu. They added this functionality later, and although it's convenient, using this input at a wrong time can cause some small glitches as well.
The first example can be done at the Weapons/Armor menu. If you open or close a Weapons/Armor sub-menu and quickly press Options, the UI elements in the Options-menu also becomes displaced. They can even go off-camera but still seemingly work like normal. Trying to use any options or closing the menu fixes the displacement.
If you now return to the Pause-menu, the Weapons/Armor sub-menu will also be displaced and out of sight. But it, too, should work like normal. All in all, this just seems to be a visual effect.
1:15 - If you press Options at any time when the background of the Pause-menu is blurred and then return, the background stays blurred indefinitely. This lets you see Kratos and Atreus, the skills screen, map screen and Codex-entries blurred. This also becomes fixed once you close the Pause-menu.
2:04 - Finally, if you open or close certain sub-menus in the Codex or Goals-screen and then return to Pause-menu, the sub-menus become overlapped. It looks strange, but I didn't notice anything too out of the ordinary that you could do with it. Closing the Pause-menu fixes things.
(Not on the vid: If you quickly choose “go to map” from the lore menus, then switch pages to Skills, the Skills panel will be invisible until you enter it or switch pages.)
(Not on the vid: If you switch between Kratos and Atreus in Weapons/Armor page and quickly press L1/R1 and X to enter a Weapons/Armor sub-menu, you are able to buffer the menu page switch behind the currently opened sub-menu. Using the sub-menu works otherwise normally, but you can't auto-equip. The page switch happens after you quit the sub-menu, but it can be additionally delayed by another menu enter before the screen graphical effect is done. The buffer seems to vanish as you re-enter the Pause-menu.)
(Not on the vid: If you try opening Options during the screen effect of exiting from the deepest level of Skills, the X and O buttons become disabled temporarily inside the menu.)
