>click on my youtube embed so you can shitpost with me xD

It's a lot of shit is what it is.

>>14515362

its hooktube you retard

>>14515798

Oh.

I'm still not gonna watch it.

>>14515348

That's a lot of ways to say it's gay.

>>14515802

There is nothing of substance to watch in it.

Its just 15 minutes of marketing with really bad beat em up gameplay.

>>14515798

Probably going to take people some time to adjust to hooktube having proper preview images and not generic thumbnails anymore.

What happened with the pissed off god-killing a-hole who not only was a worthy opponent against the gods but also fucked bitches like a motherfucker?

>>14515920

Uncharted and TLOU killed it. Now Sony has to maintain the meme that adult games have to adhere to family values.

>>14515348

>>14515881

I came into this thread only because hooktube now has thumbnails.

Good shit.

It is from Sony and made by soyboys.

Never give money to anything with those two characteristics.

If by some miracle, the game is good, it will still be shit until it can be pirated. Then, maybe it will really be good.

>>14515937

Fucking whores while torturing and killing your enemies are family values. They must be taught to every son, by the father.

>>14515977

>torturing and killing your enemies are family values

The latter yes, the former no. Edgelords need to be shot.

>>14515977

What if those exact values are taught by the mother?

So its remade to be like uncharted and new tomb riders?

>climb

>fight

>upgrade weapons

>rinse and repeat trough linear paths

Who wanna bet that kratos will kill the little faggot by some mistake and they will do some "you cant escape your curse" shit

>>14516087

I'm betting on Kratos losing his eye and getting sorta crucified upside down on a tree and you play as the little kid, who's revealed to be Thor and you embark to rescue your pappy who ends up being remembered as Odin because fuck it

So they changed it from hack n slash to a tiny bit faster dark shits?

>>14515986

I'm sure those are paid for. Look at the upboats they all got and look at Nic K in the 3rd image.

>>14516940

No doubt, especially that the video is from Sony. Only reason comments are enabled because its controlled.

>>14516834

>who's revealed to be Thor

Tyr would be much more appropriate, as he's a god of war.

>>14516087

It'll have a Kratos gets injured and the boy needs to find something to save the day an exact copy of TLoU

>>14516999 (impressive)

Implying they know anything about Norse mythology.

but we all know this game is poised to sell like hotcakes because faggots can't tell a good video game from their spleen amirite

>like dark souls.

Not sure the guy saying that has played dark souls. The aesthetic of the gameplay seems closer to darksiders which took from God of War.

Never cared about GoW, but wasn't the entire reason for the superpowered bitch fit murder spree that was the first three games that his wife and kid were dead? How does he have a son now… Did he just get over it and find a new wife's son?

>>14517038

That's right. My guess is they're trying to sell Kratos as a deeply flawed brute of a character who hides his pain behind a veneer of rage, and that the pure-hearted little boy manages to tease out some shred of humanity that he's got left.

Combat looks dull and the "so deep and emotional" story will probably be safe and predictable and bland as a result. This is what they make now, though; movie games. It's nothing new, just sad that a franchise with some potential has come to this.

I've never properly played any of the games in this series, maybe now's a good time to go back and play through the "good" ones.

>>14517062

All SCE and Naughty make is GOTY award show bait now. Turning GoW from an violent action series into a skin of TLoU is almost hilarious since the tone is so off from the other games.

>>14517062

>maybe now's a good time to go back and play through the "good" ones.

Well, on the bright side, you're already done! All that's left is to play the shit ones.

I remember renting the first one and hating it for whatever reason and playing the second one but for the life of me can't remember anything other than the opening segment where you go inside a giant moving statue and attack a heart or something. Never touched the third one I don't think.

>>14515348

>Kratos doesn't jump anymore

>wait for button prompt to climb a wall

My wife liked god of war entirely due to how simple and easy it was to control and how even she could play it. I think it's the only series she can brute force her way all the way to the credits in. There's no way she'd be able to adapt to this over the shouldery, non-buttonmashyslashy style though.

looks like Dark Souls made for journalists.

>>14517062

Good, because I play video game to learn about other people's moral standards.

>>14515799

>dont talk me or my sister son ever again

>>14515799

At least the little bugger is white

>>14515348

I wonder what the fags are gonna use as an excuse to not see hooktube embeds. Has the "they support interracial porn vids" theory been proven?

>>14515784

The wife's son looks more white than Kratos. What could that mean?

>>14515799

>Nephew

I feel bad for the little shit, having a soyboy uncle who indoctrinates him on ignoring his natural threat responses.

>>14515799

That's one chubby cheeked little shit right there.

>Kratos

>Norse mythology

Just make a new character holy shit.

>>14515920

He was considered too much fun to let continue.

>>14526833

Only if it was made by a based pole.

>>14526846

True but then when you've spent $1000 on something that only has pretentious indie platformers to play I guess you have to justify it somehow.

>>14526754

No the established character makes for easier marketing.

>>14518620

Hooktube supports blacked? What?

They're outright admitting the game is a LOTU clone now.

http://archive.is/coXKw

>>14515348

>It´s a lot more tactile

What the fuck is that even supposed to mean? Is it a mechanical keyboard?

>>14527852

It also isn't even technically correct.

>>14526888

I was looking at the comments section, they're all praising the game and mocking people who don't like the idea of another Last of Us reskin.

>"If you don't like the great cinematic experience from Sony that means you like multiplayer games with micro-transactions"

Wew

>PS4 video

SHILLS GET OUT

>>14516999

Tyr is the God of battle. One on one combat. Thor is the God of War and Thunder. Like Yahweh

>>14527903

Nobody over the age of 16 who isn't a bot even uses Gamespot. Seriously, there's "people" on there still using Cloud Strife and Master Chief avatars like that shit's been relevant this entire decade.

>>14527923

You have that precisely reversed. Thor is the god of personal heroism and duels, Tyr is the god of organized warfare. Yahweh is a semetic adapted Vulcan, not Thor/Indra or Tyr/Mithra.

>>14526864

>Hooktube supports blacked? What?

<redditards fund a political cuck porno

<4chan sees it and screeches

<redditards brag about spending their money like this on twitter

<hooktube creator sees it and says "lol, those guys on 4chan are really going crazy"

So, no.

>>14515348

>no nudity on the ratings

lol, so they took out the sex minigame for being sexist?

>read through the comments

>Most of the people complaining about this, probably only played God of war 3 if you're a true fan of the God of war series you should just accept the change, it's still going to be a great game

Fanboyism is a poison on the mind.

>>14515986

>Xbox and PC players just hold this L and this is just the bigging

What the fuck does that even mean?

>>14529089

Niggerspeak for admitting one is a loser/is missing out. Think that one line from the Smash Mouth song.

>>14528645

The lead developer said he had "grown up" since the last games or something like that, he has a kid now so that's why he maked kratos a dad, or something like that.

>>14515986

>Mexicans are eating up soy of war

I honestly rather live with African blacks and Slavs than rejected midget goblins.

>>14529180

This is pretty true. Cory Barlog married a Swede and he went on record saying that Atreus (the kid) is based on his son. That means Kratos is his self-insert and considering Swedish women are all wanton whores, its possible the kid might not even be his, giving credence to my "wife's son" meme.

>>14527975

It was even more pathetic and manufactured than that.

>Hooktube supports blacked? What?

<redditards fund a political cuck porno

<4chan sees it and doesn't give a fuck either

<some obviously fake posts are made full of outrage so the cucks can take their screenshots to r/4chan and "prove" how they BTFO those channers

<even cuckchan didn't fall for the obvious bait and most posts were just expressing disinterest and confusion

<redditards brag about spending their money like this on twitter

<hooktube creator sees it and says "lol, those guys on 4chan are really going crazy"

>>14518620

I don't hate hooktube because of that (the lack of thumbnails was annoying but not a problem) I hate hooktube and youtube because it is embedding faggorty. Embedding by its very nature is lazy faggotry and with the 16MB limit there is NO reason to not webm videos that are 20-30 minutes in length or shorter. Hell even 1 hour long videos are possible to compress to 16MB, albeit at a low but still watchable quality. When you post an embed and the video is shorter than 1 hour than you are admitting you are a lazy nigger who can't even be assed to make a decent and proper OP.

>>14529012

Are games even allowed to have bare tits anymore? Won't they then be banned from steam and stores?

>>14529264

Metro last light had full frontal nudity.

>>14516940

Why would anyone have to pay for those you fucking idiot? Is this your first day on the internet?

>>14529264

While not officially banned, Western companies won't add female nudity out of fear of backlash from feminist groups. This way they can argue "we are not censoring anything, they are just covering things up on their own initiative". I think our best hope lies on Slavs and Jap shit.

>>14529271

Metro was made before 2014, a time when you didn't need to worry about feminist backlash because of sexy women or something particularly un-PC, and there wasn't a pervasive effort from entities to force gaming conform to feminist ideologies.

>>14529222

You missed the last step:

<(((some people))) use this to try to get people to stop using Hooktube and go back to Youtube

>>14529343

>Western companies won't add female nudity

Dragon Age Inquisition had tits out for romance scenes. That game was a recent-ish western made, sjw shit hole, and a big AAA release. They are clearly possible, but you just have to suck as much tranny dick as you can and people look the other way I guess.

>>14529533

>Andromeda nudity

>PB

Suddenly even more glad I don't buy Bioware games anymore. Seriously though, Bioware proves you can get away with it IF you prostrate yourself enough before the altar of Feminism.

>>14517092

Really pathetic to see them rape a game like this. I haven't played a God of War game since the first one, but this new stuff looks nothing like I remember. Just banking on the name to sell copies.

>>14515348

>one man and his wife's son

I bet the target audience for the game is disappointed the kid isn't Black.

>>14529698

>Ymira

I always hated Alayen and his hamfisted "like" relationship with Ymira which was there solely because every hero has one like and two dislikes.

I cannot wait when its 3$ in 4 years.

>>14515798

>hooktube embeds now have thumbnails

noice

>>14515799

>black panther with his nephew

This ones a classic.

>>14517062

Kratos was always a deeply flawed brute of a character. He was written to be a classic Greek hero, and all Greek heroes suffer a fall from grace due to pride. The first game is actually a surprisingly competently written Greek tragedy. The sequels are just milking after Sony smelled blood on the water.

>>14530171

>all Greek heroes

I should say, all Greek heroes in tragedy.

>>14530157

>directed and wrote what is considered the best entry in a casual hack'n'slash game franchise loved by many for its brutal style

Are you referring to GoW 2? Because the first entry is usually lauded for its story, while GoW 2's story is considered not as good (I still like it gameplay wise).

>>14530174

>>14530171

Something that really gets lost on people is that greek heroes with the possible exception of Perseus were not nice people and far from what we consider heroes today. Even the stuff Kratos does is tame compared to what Theseus and Jason do in the original myths.

>>14529180

What a fucking faggot. Why not just make a new franchise instead of shitting on his old one?

>>14530206

>compared to what Theseus and Jason do in the original myths

Give us uneducated niggers some details.

>>14530209

Dad syndrome however the bus was already rolling over GoW after the first game when it basically shot the whole point of Greek tragedies in the balls before finishing it off for good.

>>14530494

>GoW

>Shitty

>>>/cuckchan/

>>14530174

Aren't all Greek myths tragedies anyway?

>>14530217

Theseus kidnapped Helen when she was a little girl to raise her as his wife and Jason ditched his wife Medea for some princess to inherit her kingdom. Both of whom would pay veery dearly for their deeds. Not only Theseeus lost Helen when her brothers came to rescue her, he spent some time trapped in the underworld after helping some other dude kidnap Persephone as part of their oath to take Zeus' daughters as their brides. Jason realized that he shouldn't have stuck his dick in crazy when Medea kills his new wife, her father, burns his new kingdom and kills her own children so they wouldn't be sold to slavery. That was the basic thing that most Greek heroes would do and considered normal by ancient times' standards.

>>14531030

1 was good, 2 and 3 not so good.

Especially 3, since the attacks and sound effects didn't carry enough weight in them.

I'm not sure why, but this seems to be a thing when comparing some prequels to sequels.

Other examples would be DotA (WC3) to DotA2, and God Eater 1 to God Eater 2.

>>14531030

>Aren't all Greek myths tragedies anyway

yeh, the Greeks recognized that tragic stories were the best platform for telling stories that explored human nature. I can only assume this is why all goty bait games choose to attempt tragic stories but kind of fall short because they rely on stingers that never actually affect the overall development of their main characters.

>>14531091

>Other examples would be DotA (WC3) to DotA2, and God Eater 1 to God Eater 2.

Wasn't DotA strictly speaking the second game in the series though? AoS came first.

>>14531123

That makes sense.

>>14531161

>Wasn't DotA strictly speaking the second game in the series though? AoS came first.

That's like saying Dark Souls is the sequel to Demon's Souls.

>>14531176

>That's like saying Dark Souls is the sequel to Demon's Souls.

It was in all ways other than story.

>>14530206

That's true, I guess what I was trying to say was that the character already had depth and they didn't need to do the TLOU treatment.

>>14515986

not sure if paid shills oir $onyggers in denial still latching to any excuse they can to justify their pisspoor buy of of a console

>slow ass cluncky combat

>slow ass sidestep dodge instead of the classic dodge roll

>over the shoulder camera so, good bye plataforming

>likelly to take a page from TLOU and reduce puzzles to just block pushing and ladder mooving

>the stupid kid just won't shut the fuck up

>enemies just idly stand there while you juggle one in the air with the basic combo attack

>instead of rushing you as if it were a mosh pit

>no blood and gore, just some fluorecent goo coming out of dried up zombies with no guts to spill on the floor

>Kratos used to parry flaming arrows with dual blades and now he hides behind a shield like a faggot

Old God of War formula was getting a little stale by the time Acencion came out but that's moslty cus $ony tried to jump into the multiplayer bandwaggon instead of focussing all their energy and budget on the single player campaign wich is what people bought the game for

but this…

this is just character assassination

and we can thank shit like TLOU for this

seriusly TLOU may be THE single handedly most harmfull "game" to ever come out

even Telltales shit, shilled as it was by (((journos))), could not fully brainwash lemmings that focusing on "muh thought provoking story" "muh relatable characters" and "muh emotional journey" was a better idea than focusing on game mechanics and level design

but now every goon under the sun is hailing these "not quite walking sims cus they got basic gameplay elements and QTEs" as the second coming of vidya christ

and don't you dare mention how their sacred cows have nothing but watered down gameplay elements that have alrready been done better in other games

>>14516087

>Nu Tomb raider is open world sand box shit

>still feels more linear than old level based Tomb Raider

>>14529180

>The lead developer said he had "grown up"

i fucking hate this "gown up" meme

being a childish brat is fun

being all grown up is about nothing but responsibilities and shit, it ain't fun to be old, people who play vidya are insulted with the word manchild, most of us choose our favourite vidya based on the nostalgia factor of ho0w much we liked them as kids even if the nostalgia bait is shit, hell, most of us who actually grew up with all the responsibilities that entails want nothing more than childish escapism to forget the stress that comes with "growing up"

i wan't the grown up meme to die, being an adult sucks, getting old sucks, having responsiblities suck, being mature sucks and i'm forced to be all of these 24/7, yet these stupid hippster expect me to chose the "being grown up" fantasy as my escapism

fuck them all

>>14531638

in this case, "grown up" means "ascribe to groupthink." If growing up means giving up independent thought, then I don't need it.

>>14531657

early simpsons was quite insightful.

i miss when cartoons were allowed to be fun.

>>14516087

Funny enough, nuKratos can climb (if you press the right button that appears on screen) but he can't jump.

what the fuck does a god like Kratos from greece got do with Vikings

lore is holding by thread just to get by

>>14531638

One of my friends from school, his little brother jumped off a cliff and killed himself because he said he didn't want to grow up, he just wanted to play video games, at least that was what he was saying before he killed himself.

<"Nah I grew up"

SOY BOY

>>14515920

He grew a beta beard and now he answers to the pronouns jir, je, jennika

I hope kratos's son dies

Nothing they shown so far makes me think he will be interesting or useful in the slightest aside from idiotic scripted puzzles and occasional arrows into enemies

It's not only a poor plot device, but one meant to slow everything down and make an otherwise 5 hour game into a long 30 h stretch of nothingness

>>14531777

Either he'll die at the end for journalists to go "WOW SO SAD GOTY 2DEEP4ME" or Kratos will die and his kid will turn into some edgy nuDonte like teen for the sequel.

>>14531793

Natural selection at work.

>>14515986

>>14518673

>spend decade slaughtering every person who isn't a deranged psychopath

>be surprised when vicarious murder simulators do this to the ones who survived

>>14531091

This also happened to the Yakuza games. After the PS2 games, the attacks and sounds seemed weaker. The PS4 games have gotten a bit better with this tho

>>14532047

Too many game designers look at hardware the same way the caveman looked at the monolith. They expected the PS3, with it's "superior technology", to carry them rather than the other way around.

>>14529264

The new Wolfenstein has that pregnant shitskin woman topless dual wielding guns while covered in blood. But that entire game was one gigantic commie faggot BLM stroke-job so of course it was fine.

>>14532154

>shitskin

Pretty sure the one you meant was BJ's polish jew lover, everything else is true though.

>>14532167

Birds take white shits.

>>14532154

The crazy cunt was white. The game does feature that ugly nigger breastfeeding her niglet with her dropping tits laid bare.

It's like they were actively trying to disgust the audience with the "good" guys at every turn.

>>14532167

Given that BJ is revealed to be Jewish himself, I should have guessed.

>>14532167

Wait, she's Jewish? That would explain the early onset of mental illness and craving for the Aryan cock she suffers from.

>>14531915

I want cuckchan the fuck gone.

>>14531638

They don't mean being an actual grown up, they mean something much worse. They want to be accepted as "mature" for playing fucking video games. While being an adult is important I don't want anyone to touch my vidya. Fuck off with trying to make vidya this faux mature hobby.

>>14532154

>Wolfenstein 2

Don't forget that game was also rallied on by people that wanted single player driven games - a common defense argument being made for the GoW reboot. Funnily, the game bombed and a multiplayer would have likely kept afloat.

Sadly, I don't think GoW will bomb because its a Sony exclusive and fanboys will eat up anything that is shat on their plate.

>>14531638

>>14529180

People who go out of their way to talk about how they've "grown up" are overcompensating for the fact they're immature in other areas of their life.

>>14533891

The Order was the exception to the rule, simply because it was an interactive movie, even more so than Wolfenstein 2. Horizon Zero Dawn, for as much shit it deserving gets for being a poorly animated Marxist drivel, still made lots of money despite being a whole new IP and its fanboys hold it as the BotW-killer.

>>14533283

Wolfenstein 2 was shit.

>>14531793

>He had shot himself at his computer. On the screen was the online computer game, Everquest.

I feel really bad for that kid, though, killing yourself in EQ has a massive XP penalty

Why did they copy Lords of the Fallen?

>>14537178

Why are you trying to compare two different cultures religion to eachother?

There also seem to be indications that Oden once were a legendary king in ancient Scandinavia.

>>14537948

Probably because nuGoW is about Kratos (A Greek) fighting Scandinavian gods.

>>14531091

>>14515875

>>14538601

Odin's Sphere

>>14537948

Go back far enough and all Indo-European groups share a common root religion and language. Our inherited sources only reflect the different permutations they've undergone through shifting geography, migration and conquest. The Latins and Greeks would compare and equate the gods of their neighbors to their own all the time.

>>14538652

Not to mention the practice of outright taking the gods of conquered, allied or neighbouring nations. It's why the Norse have two pantheons, why Rome was ruled by a Tranny at one point, and why the Hittites had over a thousand gods. The Proto-Indo-Europeans had more gods than goddesses, with most goddesses in Indo-European mythology being foreign imports. I'm interested in the connections between Indo-European myths and the Semitic ones, which were also similar in the higher number of gods than goddesses.

>>14537977

That's just f'n stupid. Did the greeks even do trade with the vikings?

>>14532412

At some point as a teenager I tried to convince my parents that I didn't just play "kiddie" games and showed the Call of Duty and shit. These people have the mentality of a fucking teenage boy!

>>14515986

>they removed the jumping in this god of war because it would be so weird to see kratos jumping from this camera angle

Why not ditch the camera angle instead?

>>14538757

it's short for f***ing

>>14538769

>Why not ditch the camera angle instead?

Did you not read the interview? Barlog is

FUCKING

obsessed with the new camera angle, to the point he kept arguing with one of the leads to keep it in.

>>14538739

Considering that the scandinavians travelled pretty much all over the world to trade then I wouldn't be surprised. Remember that the emperor of the eastern roman empire (which contained Greece) had literal vikings as his bodyguards.

>>14538791

This sounds like a case of someone being so enamoured with his own idea that he doesn't give a damn what happens to the game as long as his idea stays in it.

>>14531793

What is it with chinks killing themselves over MMO's?

>>14538757

F'n Thank you.

>>14538621

>>14538601

I actually just played Odin's Sphere, while it takes some aesthetics and naming inspirations from Nordic mythology it feels a little bit closer to a greek tragedy, at least in the way that the characters are stuck with an unavoidable destiny. Valkyrie Profile actually felt closer to proper Nordic mythology.

Beyond Kratos looking like what numales consider masculine (a lumbersexual with a gay beard) I don't get where there is to go with the story. Didn't he rape the entire greek pantheon by now?

>>14539296

What fundamental differences are there between a Norse and Greek myth?

>>14516834

>>14516999

>>14517006

>>14527923

Pretty much EVERY Norse god has "War" as something under their domains, to one extent or another. It's pretty mucht he Pantheon of War.

>>14539306

The Norse valued wisdom and independence, while the Greeks valued obedience and collectivism. The heroes of Greek legend were treated more as models to follow than as exceptional individuals in their own right.

>>14538791

Am i the only one who's sick and tired of the over the shoulder camera!?

EVERY FUCKING GAME nowadays is either first person or over-the-shoulder, fucking hell, that so fucking BORING.

This may be the main reason of why hate RE4.

>>14539329

How does Heracles fit into all this?

>>14539341

Wasn't he a bastard in the original myths?

>>14539417

I don't know if he was a bastard but he was definitely an asshole.

>>14539417

Sort of, Juno/Hera, the goddess of matrimony/sacred nuptials and the wife of Zeus/Jupiter was supposedly sterile. It's interesting to note that Herakles' title is dervied from Hera +Kleos meaning "the the glory/triumph of/over Hera" and probably the prototype from which we derive the word "hero" from.

No need when (((they're))) doing it for centuries, and for free, what we need to do is to bring an apocalyptic end to (((their))) world, and ot themselves, including their soy drones, forever.

>>14540118

Burn it down to fix it? Might work.

>>14541248

Funny because when someone reminisces about watching Land Before Time as a kid they're never talking about any movie other than the first one.

>>14541392

the cancerous normalfags often brings up the second one or the TV series, or otherwise continuously point out characters like Chomper or the wrinkly faggot from the 4th movie or Ali something

>>14541707

>I've always been a little embarrassed to admit that I could never get into God of War games.

The first fucking line and he instantly proves why he has no right to even make his headlines assertion!

Why are these fucking piece of shit allowed to exist!?

>>14541825

Because gaming is cucked.

>>14541707

God damn it, he even admits it's a The Last of Gays clone

It's always like that when something gets co-opted and destroyed, these people become the biggest "fans" of the IP.

Uncharted 4 was hyped by the same people because the game destroyed both the franchise and the hero (Nate became a beta with a boring life). God of War is getting the same "deconstruction" treatment. This new game will destroy the character and the franchise. It's not a hack & slash platformer, it's The Last of Us + "Booker, catch!".

>>14541975

He isn't shy on that part.

>>14542186

>Uncharted

Whether you liked Uncharted or hated it, Drake was meant to be a like the old school adventures and it showed in the earlier games.

>It's always like that when something gets co-opted and destroyed, these people become the biggest "fans" of the IP.

They are some of the biggest posers on earth.

>>14542337

I used to like Uncharted, I liked it for what it was: a fun adventure game. Too bad Druckmann had to ruin everything with U4.

>>14542186

>>14542337

>>14542353

So, the usual rule still applies:

Everything in the Western gaming industry produced after 2011 is shit.

>>14542550

pretty much

>>14515348

>Literally the only thing in common with the original God of War are the names

>The names.

>Norse/Celtic mashup Mythology instead of Greek

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF HAVING THE NAMES IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE A PART OF THE SERIES? ARES ISN'T EVEN NORDIC OR CELTIC IT'S STRICTLY GREEK!

THIS LOOKS LIKE A SKYRIM MOD WITH SOME MORE FLASH WITH A GOD DAMN THROWING AXE

BETTER YET

IT IS A FUCKING SKYRIM MOD BECAUSE YOU CAN FIND MODS THAT DO ALL OF THIS SHIT

>>14543303

Calm down anon it's only a video game.

>>14549598

Not anymore it isn't.

>>14543303

Can't use the actual norse names because those are problematic white supremacy. The SPLC classifies all runes as "hate symbols."

>children desperate for their father's affection the profession

God this is sad.

I’m most upset that they chose the most generic and overhyped pantheon imaginable. I’m still waiting for a game filled to the brim with crazy Egyptian or Japanese gods, demons, and phantoms.

>>14550630

Play nioh.

>>14550669

That's the reason why game journalists want video games to stop being entertaining and fun. They want vidya to be "Art" (the boring, reddit-tier intellectual wankfest), they always hype walking simulators, the "press A to skip combat" shit. They want their parents to stop saying that their child has failed their professional career and adult life.

Look at Ben Kuchera, could you imagine a parent being proud of that guy?

>>14550512

>>14553156

Something tells me these commie pieces of shit would slit their parents throats for a nickel and not because daddy yelled at them to go to church or whatever.

>>14553225

Hello there goon.

Is this that famed multi-layered irony you goons like to jerk eachother off with?

>>14553172

>would slit their parents throats

They absolutely would. See Mao's "cultural" revolution.

>>14541392

>>14541431

Don't forget that Ducky's voice actor was brutally murdered by her father

Who would have though good old Ian could meme

never though he had it in him

you guys think this was the straw that broke the cammels back and made him swich sides during #GG?

I can totally se him as just a blue pilled soyboy with no idea of how (((deep))) the rabbit hole went

>>14550669

best part about this picture is the fact that they don't have a dog

>>14550680

and how would you propagate an agenda if you don't have all your writers in a tightly knit clique?

>R1 and R2 for light and heavy attacks

>That fucking health bar on enemies

My fucking lord did they just staple Dork Souls and The Last of Ass together?

>>14515920

The guy got his revenge on everyone that wronged him already. Of course he's going to be much more tamer.

>>14556933

>more tamer

learn grammer gooder

If it is not the most interesting part of characters life, what is the point of writing a story/making a game around it?

<no ez mode chains to have mindless fun

fugg

>>14556950

>part of characters life

The pot calling the kettle black

Honestly, I don't know why they'd make a game about Kratos without his rage. I'm just saying that you can't expect a person to still be angry after completing his vengeance.

>>14557000

>The pot calling the kettle black

What the fuck are you talking about? When did I write a story about anybody? Do you even know what that means?

I'm agreeing with you, I'm saying this game has no reason to exist, it's boring, he killed everyone and everything there is to kill, there's nothing left.

>>14557049

I seem to recall plenty of articles talking about this being the next evolution of videogames or something. I remember them being open about their shittyness and how hostile they and gaming publications were towards its critics, but that doesn't excuse the bullshit.

>>14557049

>an interactive movie about werewolves in steampunk London. Nothing more, nothing less.

Except you only kill a handful of werewolves in the game, with 99% of enemies being generic guys with guns.

>>14515348

Do we get to make a spear of mistletoes and kill baldur?

>>14557023

>What the fuck are you talking about? When did I write a story about anybody? Do you even know what that means?

You misunderstood me. You tell me that I should learn grammar because of one mistake yet you yourself made an error in your post, hence the quote.

>>14532465

Sad thing is watching old Gamespot videos and seeing just how in depth they got about the gameplay mechanics and how they basically failed a game not for “triggering” them or not delivering the “experience” they wanted, but on how buggy or broken the game was and what mechanics weren’t fleshed out.

>>14531638

This but with less autism

I don't understand it either way. His balls bounce around his whole body before flying out of his ass?

>>14559124

>Can't these faggots actually write for something they give a shit about instead of pretending they like video games?

No.

>>14557330

Almost certainly not.

>>14557392

Reminds me of what what happened to that game withthe name like overwatch.

>>14542550

>>>/weeb/

>>14559124

>Can't these faggots actually write for something they give a shit about instead of pretending they like video games?

They tried that and they failed. Video games are the bottom of the barrel in terms of respectability, which means that only bottom feeders write about them. It's either this or eating a shotgun shell.

>>14575199

>Video games are the bottom of the barrel in terms of respectability

I'd say comics are lower.

>>14542550

>after 2011

That’s after 1987 you newfag

>>14575509

I feel your loss anon

>tfw always used to sit and watch my dad play God of War

Why not play it yourself?

>>14580959

He's a cuck.

>>14580959

Because his dad is playing it. What kind of brat demands their dad to drop what they are doing just to do the exact same thing?
