So God of war is just becoming some naughty dog rip off and no one seems to really care or mind on the fact.
Like I get it's not as technical as a Devil May Cry with it's combat (Hell even one of the main people on the games said it himself) but I'd rather what was in those games then this naughty Dog wanna be. Every so often i read in a little bit more about the game and it pisses me off more and more the more I read up about this game and what it's going to turn the franchise into.
Let me list down a few things I found.
Feels bad and this isn't like DmC where the change can be scrubbed down to being a reboot, this is apparently the same Kratos in the same universe and this is how he will be from now on, I don't get it, why take this series known for being a bloody rage filled hack and slash and now try and force it into being just another drip in the bucket cinematic game for this gen of consoles?
Ethan Collins
Charlie, is that you?
Elijah Lewis
Good.
Parker Roberts
Who is Charlie
Gabriel Williams
The guy who made the video You essentially repeated all the points in it, even comparisons to DmC
Dylan Murphy
In all honesty just the fact that they made GoW look like Last of Us pisses me off.
I am not looking forward to any sony shit.
Lucas Ward
What's there to talk about?
'It sounds like complete trash and I hope it fails.' That should be the only sentiment every thinking man feels for this.
Adam Martin
Why do you honestly care about God of War in the first place? I didn't like it before I had played a real action game and I despised it after I had played my first real action game. Almost every conversation I've had with friends and work colleagues about the game was about how brutal it was, and how cool the story was, never about the gameplay.
Here's a real action game, and it's better than the game that God of Marketing Campaigns and first party hype and the game it's currently trying to rip off.
on principle I guess I could care, but it's still God of Marketing Campaigns and first party hype
Some british cuckold
Not even The last Guardian
Jayden Barnes
Nobody cares because nobody owns PS4. Seeing how you are effectively dodging a bullet not owning it I don't think I we will see a change here.
But yeah it is bullshit. I am happy I didn't want more GoW because I would have been depressed otherwise.
Juan Thompson
...
Joseph Wood
I don't care because God of War is a shit series that never really elevated itself from its flaws.
Eli Cox
Didn't he do a similar video years ago aimed at the horror genre, criticizing Resident Evil 6 and Dead Space 3 for deviating from their roots, lamenting the scarcity of that type of games at the time, but he now praises RE6? What was even the fucking point?
What's funny is he shits on GoW4's pacing, but likes Uncharted 4 and other modern Naughty Dog games. I honestly expect him to make a video on why "God of War reboot is awesome after all, and if you disagree you need to get over it".
Dubs confirms it.
Thomas Rogers
God of War was always shit.
Aaron Harris
fuck off, the series is pure shit the the worst juggalo-designed main character ever created
Andrew Scott
Holy shit the autism in this thread.
Even if you hated GoW, you shouldn't be approving a game series attempting to be deep and artistic when it just wasn't.
Inb4 Kratos is killed at the end of the game and is replaced with a transnegro.
Thomas Jackson
Because GoW isn't that. It's just attatching itself to a trend where it doesn't belong. Take your favourite game and imagine it's now a "Cinematic Experience" like Uncharted. That's what it's all about.
This is probably the worst case of "make a new game and stick an old IP on it to sell more" I've seen in a while.
Landon Gonzalez
Well how about that shit, he must not do much research since all mine is first page google changing the time frame from day to week to month to year
Because it's a slope, god of war is simple yes and to some that's boring but it's better then making it a CINEMATIC game. Like say you liked Vanquish, if they announced vanquish 2 and it would be a Puyo Puyo game because the old vanquish wouldn't work in 2016.
William Johnson
That is literally god of war 1 you retard
William Gutierrez
As far as I'm concerned, Kratos died at the end of GOW 3. This game doesn't need to exist.
Bentley Evans
This game is simply a cashgrab, no more, no less
Kill yourself if you keep want to keep bumping this shill thread
Bentley Cook
Since this is a GoW thread, I might as well ask here: are the games worth playing? I saw it had a decent PS3 collection with 5 games and thought it looked like a nice bargain.
I only ever played Ghost of Sparta for the PSP and it seemed all right enough, although it had more QTEs than I would have liked.
Luis Campbell
Guess what? Every single one of them is filled to the brim with mandatory QTEs. The first game even uses the trigger buttons as QTEs to open chests. They are essentially the same formula over and over again so if you want more of the same then go for it.
Levi Watson
Kratos's family dies. It only has like two minutes of exposition and another minute of actual morals. That's as deep as it gets.
Benjamin Cook
I am saying it isn't deep at all but the developers think it is. Just look up dev interviews and see for yourself how pretentious those fucks are.
Oliver Cooper
Well, that's a shame. Maybe if it's dirt cheap then.
Caleb Gonzalez
You must have him confused with somebody, he fucking loves RE6. He shits on GoW4 because it is now a TLoU clone and not GoW. Not because Uncharted is a bad game, but because it doesn't fit within that franchise.
Jaxon Wright
If you still care about God of War in 2016 it literally means you're so fucking bad at video games you never graduated to cuhrayze games and you're still stuck in a QTE infested mashing clusterfuck that requires zero skill.
If you still actually give a shit about god of war, play the games and have any personal investment in a new title in the series you're literally a failure as a video game enthusiast.
Not only your entire life has been wasted, but you're not even good enough to progress within your love for video games. You're a complete and utter failure in every single aspect and should probably end it all by this point.
Jonathan Lewis
Reminder that Devil May Cry is shit compared to Ninja Gaiden and you should be ashamed for still playing games for babies
Carter Morales
They aren't even the same, jesus fucking christ
Hunter Walker
why even call it god of war then
i'm serious, they should have called it something else even with keeping Kratos in there, it wouldn't be the only "sequel" where the name was totally different and it'd get the message across that it's meant to be a completely different game.
Ryan Stewart
And regardless the guy is completely retarded because Ninja Gaiden is now in the same umbrella subgenre. Keep up. Even Shinobi is in there now. And don't ask me, i don't make the rules, go complain to /cgg/.
Thomas Diaz
...
Evan Parker
But that is exactly what I said.
And he did the same thing years ago with RE6 and DS3 before or around the time they came out. That's why I said I wouldn't be surprised if he flip-flops once again and claims GoW4 is amazing in the future.
Cameron White
It's the same genre now. If you have a problem with that, go complain to /cgg/. They have a form you need to compile now, once it's your turn you can officially complain about the new classification, if your arguments are sound they'll took it into consideration and change the list.
Chase Adams
The issue isn't that God of War is turning into a walking simulator, it's that it's setting a precedent for other action-oriented titles to also be turned into walking simulators.
I love TW101 too user, and I wish that the GoW devs just took a break after 3, but I find this hard to not care about.
Aiden Morgan
I don't want to walk straight and listen to exposition anymore. I want games.
Juan Ross
Do the earlier God of War games technically have evasion mechanics?
Joseph Kelly
Yeah, you can dodge in any direction. God of War 3 added an aerial dodge that doubles as a movement option, too.
Aaron Gomez
Not in the sense of any other game. In DMC, Bayonetta, NG, W101, God Hand doing what the game would refer to as dodges would alter the characters hitbox to count if a dodge occurred as they all have something tied to it but in god of war it's like the roll in Legend of Zelda where you.
Example: Bayonetta when doing her dodge for the first few frames she has an entirely different and larger hitbox in it's place that if hit accepts a dodge has occurred and activates the witch time mechanic after that period it's normal, same with DMC where if hit you gain DT and style.
In God of War until 3 Kratos has no such change so he's essentially still standing up but moving in a different way when he "dodges"
Carter Perry
I think the biggest problem with GOW is the switch between themes and setting where the series was about pleasure on violence and this new game is trying to make you feel guilty by bringing up a more serious and dramatic story.
It's as if someone replaced Duke Nukem's personality with a sad guy talking about how horrible war is instead of a parody of movie action heroes who tips strippers and kicks alien dudes in the balls.
Grayson Green
game's a game
Hunter Rivera
I'm 100% sure there will not be sexy Norse women and valkryies in this game. I mean we all know slutty ancient greek women are better but still.
Andrew Robinson
...
Jackson Morgan
>end the series at 3 with a panned shot of a bloody cliff post-credits, showing the player that Kratos has fulfilled his revenge and his death-wish by commiting suicide
This transition is so fucking jarring. How do you go from Conan the Barbarian to the fucking main character in TLOU. For fuck's sake, Kratos has a fucking nu-male beard and everything! This is so stupid and out of left field. The people who are making this game are about as subtle as a fucking atom bomb, making no excuses and giving no reason as to why Kratos, against all fucking reason, is alive. Say what you will about God of War being bland, stupid, or a buttonmasher, but that series had SOUL before this mess. It wasn't trying to be any more than it made itself out to be and it did it well. This game is raping the (literal) corpse of Kratos. Did they kill Jaffe or whatever to make this happen?
Easton Baker
who gives a fuck make a thread about what you want to talk about why the fuck do you talk like this?
Elijah Reed
Me obviously since I made the thread. I did Spoilers you're in it. Why the fuck do you talk like this You know instead of making a sentence like a normal person you just press enter instead of spacing it with a simple comma Not even with the decency to full stop so what the fuck am I reading here?
Robert King
Hi Redditors, can we PLEASE talk about how OP is a faggot? I noticed that there's been no discussion about OPs faggotry even though his faggotry has been going on for quite some time.
Le upvote if you agree :^)
Ryan Jackson
Can you just, I dunno, go back to cuckchan? I don't want you lowering our board quality, and I think you might like it more over there anyways.
Nathan Rivera
lol
Christopher Kelly
It's a trap! No seriously though, the psp ones are a digital code
Benjamin Thomas
I think the idea for this might have come from Cory Barlog. I'm pretty sure it was him that said he had wanted to make a God of War game focused on Kratos being a father since the first game came out.
Why they're choosing to do it now is a mystery, though, as is why they're making it a chronological sequel (you can see the burn marks on his arms left by the chains and a scar on his abdomen, both from the end of GoW3) rather than a reboot or something. They're even doing that stupid thing that Uncharted 4 was originally going to do where they just reuse the first game's title without adding a number or even a subtitle, which would lead you to believe that it's a reboot rather than a sequel, but no.
The thing that worries me most is that the devs when interviewed kept referring to what was going on as Kratos doing something rather than the player doing something, which implies that the player won't have much control. Sure, the QTEs in GoW were restrictive, but the series has never done that stupid 'walk around slowly and listen to an NPC speak' garbage until this one and you always had plenty of control outside of them.
The devs always seemed pretty self-aware until now, too. They knew the series was a decent, polished action series with a good sense of adventure and didn't try to make it anything more than that. I think Jaffe even said that they don't think their gameplay's as good as DMC's once, which begs the question why the devs are changing it to this.
Joseph Perez
I know that, but I'm just trying to find some nice games for my PS3 so it wouldn't be the Metal Gear box.
Chase Stewart
In every thread, there's always one of you people just looking for an excuse to 'downvote' something. Do you not realize how autistic it is to criticize someone's post habits? Not only is it impossible to discern a redditor from a post, it's also idiotic to try and categorize which words are from redditors and which are not. Instead of trying to discern newfags from the words they use, maybe look at what ideas they have written down.
Sage stops bumping the thread. That's all it does, you moron. You are such a fucking greenhorn if you didn't even know that.
I will now proceed to "anti-sage" or in other words, "bump" this thread to counteract your immense newfaggotry, making your righteous rage completely void. Good day sir.
Justin Morris
I wouldn't even mind the story if they made the gameplay interesting. Also, what sense is there in just naming it "God of WAR" if all the story revolves around is raising your fucking son?
Brayden Baker
I loved god of war for what it was, a mindless button master with some interesting lore and wonderfully done, brutal murder sequences.
This game is made to pander to the new generation of fatherless wimps that want to prove to themselves that they'd make a great father because they played one on tv. This is meant to sell on name alone while having absolutely nothing to do with the franchise it's representing. It will sell and there will be sequels. Making grown numales feel feels is the current fad.
Luis Sanders
This has 'back-alley deal' written all over it. Something shady has gone down if a pure action game does a 180 into a walking simulator. Someone has blackmailed someone, or is fucking someone else's wife. I'm betting we'll see what the reason for this is via leaked emails sometime in the future.
Ian Mitchell
Meh, i only played this game for the puzzles and dungeons The combat never really took off for me but i did enjoy the gory brutality of the QTEs although it got old quick and once you notice that enemiedo not attack you during a QTEs you can never unnotice it
The story i liked only in the first gae that actually had a character ark,in the second and third it was bsicaly ore of the samebut withut reaon or explanation, not to mention the fact that they crammed in the retconned story of Kratos in the PSP prequel and presequel
the games still had interesting puzzles every now and then and if you played in rd there were time when monsters hordes actually killed you (becuse they came by the hordes and where damage sponges with attacks that took hlf your life bar if you toke them, not because they enemies fought with more skill)
Just encourage people to wath youtube playthroughs, i did so with the last of us and every telltales games as well as any other game that tryes to sell a hollywood reject ofa story
If it has no gameplay, i just youtube it
Liam Moore
Are the same people involved with the other GoW making this one? Or are there new names in the mix?
Levi Walker
I'm glad the gaming matured enough so even the series involving mindless violence against women managed to evolve into a thought provoking pedophile simulator like TLoU or something
Brayden Harris
New names but old names have become sjw sumbshits in recent years. Jaffes a total bitch now.
Gavin Martinez
Hell if I know, but if I had to guess I'd say yes. 1 and 2 were pretty much same in their tone, but 3 was a bit different in some regards. Shoehorned 'muh daughter' levels, shitloads more cutscenes and despite having a wide arsenal of weapons, the game is pretty short and there's more emphasis on story. 3 wasn't about elaborate puzzles anymore, because 'muh pandora!' ate up so much of the game. Either that, or they couldn't think up of any clever levels or puzzles.
Oliver Cox
Fuck. As in, yes, there are new people. I'm retarded.
Julian Cooper
The QTEs in GoW look like Super Mario 3 tier gameplay compared to the new trailer
There was actually chance to fuck up the QTEs wether by not pressing the button in time or by pressing the wrong one, and when you failed the battle animation of the monster ripping you a new one looked nice and didn't break the flow of gameplay, The QTEs where also unpredictible at times cus it was imposible to know wich buttons would promp up for you to press or in wich direction you should turn the analog stick this randomization forced the player to stay on his toes and served as a reflex test
the new trailer didn't show any of these QTEs, even more it looks like the "rage of SParta" that used to be nothing but a "devil Trugger" is now a scripted event that triggers a cutscene of Kratos doing something cool without any form of player input other than triggering the cutscene
In the QTEs of older games you could fuck up, in the fight against the Troll, i don't see how failing is an option,
I'm hoping that "Kratos holding down the bad guy so his kid can shoot him" is not a recurring gameplay mechanic cus if i'm playing an action game i'd rather a QTE than a target practice to finish off a bad guy
Carter Perez
The God of War franchise got old after the first 2 games at most. Pretty much nothing of value was lost.

Brand recognition.

So when is this 'Last of Us' treatment gonna hit Jak & Daxter? Only a matter of time until they give Jak a numale beard and they make Daxter 'LOL SO RANDUMB!!!'
Dominic Baker
Just don't buy the game and hope it flops bad. That will teach them a lesson maybe.
Christian Martin
God of War used to be a good series of movies. Now it's about to a terrible one.

I'm expecting it to hit Ape Escape

Liam Bennett
I am/was(?) A pretty big god of war fan. Well at least the 3 main games. I honestly felt 3 should have been the end. The ambiguous ending avoids something retarded like kratos being old testament god, or folding into a more modern religion. And he's exhausted, just like the character became after so many years.
But the second they add a kid, im fucking done. Children are awful fucking people, and they are supposed to be because they don't know better. But why would anyone want to run around babysitting a terrible unlikable fuck?
Apparently the same reason that we are supposed to dive through the "hundreds" of hours in fallout 4 for a child that has no personality, and that we are told we love because he is ours. But he's not. I swear the story for fallout 4 was designed by a new mother.
I hate kids. I cannot relate to children, or having them. Stop making shitty little kids the focal point of your shitty games.
I guarantee that kratos dies at the end and his shitty kid takes up the mantle of "god of war" He's probably Odin even though you call him Scott through the whole game
Eli Taylor
you shouldn't play the western games then.
Nathaniel Reyes
Jesus Christ who the fuck is this grating fgt?
Aaron Hill
inb4 "EPIC" moment where Old Kratos gets his chain blades back halfway through the game
