/v/ - Video Games

I am curious how long it is and how hard the difficulty?

>This proves that games are art

God Of War never was, and never should have been considered "art." It was dumb stupid trashy entertainment, and it was great because of it.

>>14628946

I'm guessing probably 4 hours of pure gameplay, 8 hours including cut scenes.

Before anyone comments on the phone pics, I'm having a rough night and am trying to shit but can't.

>>14628958

Pretty much. but unlike Infinite, Sony has the press in the palm of their hands.

>>14628936

>Shall we do another Boston Salt Party?

I have already masturbated once today, I'm good. Besides, if the ending was leaked everyone would know about it already.

>>14628954

I hope you shit smoothly, OP. Polite off topic sage.

>>14628983

No, I'm saying when it does leak not right now.

>>14628985

I think I over ate, but thank you.

>>14629017

What a shit shill, everyone knows uncharted 4 is garbage so everyone will ignore him anyway for having shit taste.

This proves that normalfags eaten up any schlock about a dad raising a kid. Last of Us and Logan were mediocre at best, and people at that shit up. The probably isn't any better.

>>14629062

This is unfortunately the majority of retards buying games. They also post on Reddit, it's why people think gamers are complete fucking retards, because the majority are retarded.

>>14628936

I can practically hear them gulping the soy down.

Can't wait for this to fail and see all the "journos" tripping over each other blaming "entitled gamers", "ebul goblingoiters" and "manchildren" for destroying their latest estrogen-induced walking simulator

>>14629127

Normalfags are gamers as much as women are people.

>>14629154

I don't expect this game to fail, they're probably shilling it on Reddit and other gaming sites like crazy. Hell one of the Switch's top indie games was both shilled on Reddit by corporate shills and the media/indie clique. The name of that game was Celeste and I expect God of War to do well unfortunately.

>>14629168

We have women here anon

They also all have boyfriends

>>14629173

especially because it's a ps4 exclusive right? Those fuckers ate up horizon zero dawn, so I expect them to do the same.

>>14629177

>We have women here

Tits or GTFO.

>>14629180

Yeah basically.

>>14628936

OP are you a gardener? The endless-summer hydrangeas ad holds more appeal for me then reading the paid shill outlets.

>>14629191

No, I work as a clerk for a family friend

>>14629173

I have a hard time imagining this being that much of a success. It might do well enough for them to spin it as one, but that is all I could see. Those who liked GoW are not going to be excited for this game. The vast majority will be turned off by what little they know of the series or because it contains nothing that appeals to them. TLoU rode in on the cancerous zombie wave like The Walking Dead. GoW does not have such advantages.

>>14629177

>We have women here anon

Tits or GTFO

>>14629196

Idiots that bought the PS4 might buy it to justify the money spent on the console, just like they did with Zero Dawn.

>>14629205

mr.rogers was an absolute lad, someone on set probably just jokingly asked him to flip the bird and he obliged for a giggle

>>14629196

God of War has brand name and a marketing machine that was able to sell trash like TLoU and make it look like the Citizen Kane of Video Games. I also expect the new Spiderman to do well despite looking like the worst Spiderman since the Amazing Spiderman movie games.

>>14629211

>God of War has brand name and a marketing machine that was able to sell trash like TLoU and make it look like the Citizen Kane of Video Games. I also expect the new Spiderman to do well despite looking like the worst Spiderman since the Amazing Spiderman movie games.

GoW's brand name only appeals to those who like GoW, who will not like the direction of this game. Like I said TLoU rode in on the zombie drama craze in addition to all its shilling. GoW does not get that advantage.

>>14629204

Yeah, but how many can that be?

>>14629205

>>14629209

I thought it was a video edit. I genuinely can't believe Mr.Rogers would flip the bird, even in jest. It might destroy me if I learned of anything bad he ever did.

>>14629218

>GoW's brand name only appeals to those who like GoW

The Tomb Raider reboot disproved this.

>>14629204

I have a PS4 (second hand, of course) and this shit is never getting inside mine.

>>14629223

>The Tomb Raider reboot disproved this

By flopping?

>>14629227

Didn't flop hard enough, it got a sequel and a movie.

>>14629226

I'm thinking about getting it just to show off how crappy it is and to inform people who wouldn't know otherwise.

>>14629232

The sequel flopped harder, and of course it got a movie. They are trying to push this shit. The movie, how well did it do?

>>14629238

Mind you that's IF I get it early.

>>14629227

The Tomb Raider reboot did really well for the first game. The issue is that, they couldn't copy the "gritty reboot as Laura learns how to be strong" gameplay. Thbe sequel tried to do the same thing, and everyone hated it for being an almost exact copy of the first game, ignoring all character development.

>>14629219

I googled it and found some dumb local radio website that gave the explanation

For many years, rumors have gone around that Fred McFeely Rogers (Mr. Rogers) flipped kids off on his tv show.

The truth is, he did…inadvertently. He was singing "Where is Thumbkin" with children and, when he got to Tall-Man, he proudly displayed his middle fingers…because that's how the song played out.

Oh, and McFeely (Mr. McFeely was the "Speedy Delivery" guy) was Rogers' middle name.

Take it with a grain of salt though freind

>>14629240

Well yeah, that's true. No idea why they're pushing it so hard though.

>>14629238

Download videos to your phone and show them around. That's how I got friends to skip watchdogs.

>>14629243

The Tomb Raider reboot wasn't even as alienating to potential fans as nuGoW. And the sequel showed that there was no interest. You say it's just because it was samey, but the sales were bad enough that no sizable amount of people who bought the first game even bothered to try the second.

>>14629255

That was the reasoning my friend who loved the first game gave me when it came out. The sequel basically advertised it self as another origins story, which made him not care at all, because he already played the origin story.

>>14629193

Should I continue or is this homosexual enough?

>>14629211

>God of War has brand name and a marketing machine that was able to sell trash like TLoU and make it look like the Citizen Kane of Video Games.

The reason they made GoW into Walking Simulator #3452 is because it's easy money in the short term. This is a band-aid to try and get some easy money. They can pull off this bullshit in any series ONCE because of the name, but if they try it again, it won't be as effective. All this is telling me that the industry is now at the lowest point it has ever been, utilizing every damned trick they know of to try and keep the wheels spinning. All this is stemming from the fact that risks are no longer being taken, and it culminates into this fucking inbred bloodline of endless sequels, rehashes, reboots and remakes.

They are sacrificing the "throw-away" series first (games that already sold badly/were under-utilized/had their stories end) before they have to get REALLY desperate. In a sense, GoW was a solid series, so giving it the Soy-treatment this early already tells me that they are running out of options FAST.

>>14629266

Why did he love it though?

>>14629232

Both the games and the movie flopped, but the point of these is not to succeed financially, but to push an agenda.

>>14629243

>The Tomb Raider reboot did really well for the first game

Bullshit. It sold well bellow expectations. It sold less than Hitamn Absolution, for example.

>>14629272

I disagree. Seems more like active subversion to me. Take something popular, water it down difficulty, remove offensive content, insert propaganda, and give it titling that ignores its predecessors.

>>14629244

Are you feeling it now anon?

When will they make it so that you can have sex with anyone you want in games?

>>14629275

I looked it up, and the first game did go on to sell 8.5 million by at least 2015, so it didn't flop in sales eventually. However by how badly the second one did I believe it indicates that the changes were a flop. People bought the Tomb Raider reboot because most either didn't care about series integrity and/or fell for the shilling (which was pretty substantial.)

>>14629283

There is the subversion angle, which is a bonus, but it is not the ultimate goal. If by propaganda you mean lowering the bar for video games everywhere then yes, but otherwise I do not see it. Maybe there's a message of "it's ok to take care of your wife's son", but otherwise it seems like grasping at straws.

>>14629291

>and the first game did go on to sell 8.5 million by at least 2015

Heavily discounted copies, though, not $60 a piece.

>so it didn't flop in sales eventually

It was still a failure in the eyes of SE. Just because it broke even after one or two years doesn't make it any less of a failure. You have to remember that corporations like SE are all about the short term profit, they care about sales in the first two or three months, that's what they focus on and build their business strategy and planning around, everything else is just gravy on top.

>>14629296

It emasculates what was a pretty big example of "toxic masculinity". We might not like God of War, but the franchise was popular among normalfags, and Kratos was a dude's dude. Now they've turned him into a gentle and sensitive soul that drags around his twink of a son. All he needs is cuck glasses and the transformation will be fully complete.

>>14629296

The subversion is toning down the violence and feminizing men. Will it actually take it getting to parody levels before it becomes obvious enough?

>>14629298

>Heavily discounted copies, though, not $60 a piece.

True, and it was also multiplat.

I don't understand why you can't dick your son at least. Make the game more incluseive and wolcoming to difference audiences.

>>14629038

Pretty sure even This War of Mine is more artistic (by that I mean art that rly meks you thunk, which apparently is the only approved one nowadays) than GoW. What does the latter do that's artistic? I suppose gameplay is shallow as it was in previous entries and that the story is cliche and, obviously, completely linear. And even then, a game with artful graphics and music is just a game with pretty looks and sounds, not a masterpiece.

>the next step for the industry is more of the same hand-holding, self-consciously "epic", semi-interactive "experiences" that have been becoming the norm for over a decade

Jesus wept. Could it be any more obvious that game journalists are just normalfag retards whose purpose is to prime audiences for whatever no risk, high expense soulless shite the industry wants to become the standard? It's like they're all people who've rarely played videogames at all on the grounds that they're nerdy and inaccessible.

>>14629473

Funny how the progressive forum is willing to suck marketing cock.

>>14629475

First, what forum is it from? Second, water is wet. Sonyggers think that 9/10 is too low of a score for Uncharted 4.

>>14629497

ResetERA.

>>14629446

Angelina Jolie cut off her tits and is busy telling the world how much she hates her blonde, blue eyed biological daughter. She's likely whoring her out to the kikes as we speak.

Yup.

>"Toxic masculinity" is addressed

>No sex minigames or "gross stuff" - game is clearly cucked

There's a reason no one listens to journos

>not Donte

The toxic masculinity is triggering me!

>>14629513

Read youtube comments sections or befriend any East Asian gamer (living in the west) to discover that actually many retards do listen to game journalists (and actually base what they "like" around them).

>>14629546

what's up with Asians, do they have natural vulnerability to propaganda?

>>14629546

Maddening. God of war isn't even that great of a series, but in general if I loved a series of games and a new one was coming out and someone said to me "i never really liked this series but the new one is amazing" I would fully ignore anything else he had to say.

>>14629525

>watched about a minute

>in that time he didn't manage to shoot a single enemy

I actually want to physically harm game journos tbh.

>>14629552

Asians, specially chinese, are born without a soul. They're like locusts.

>>14629552

My brother uses the "still more credible" argument to defend MSM.

>>14629462

The bullying would be glorious. I'm hoping for this too, just so we have extra ammunition to throw at this bastard son of a game.

>>14629291

i didn't like Nu tomb raider but the truth is that as a game it wasn't that bad (definetly not as bad as new GoW) it was like a mix of uncharted's climbing and cinematic moments with ass creed open world map and side quest

disapointing as it was to see Lara lose her avility to dual wield, lose her femme fatale persona, lose her opympic acrobatic skills and not having a single stone temple with ancient puzzles to solve. at least she could still do most things clasic lara did, although watered down (nu Kratos on the other hand can't even jump)

comercially it was such a failure that squenix said they wouldn't make a sequels, wich they did eventually and failed harder than the first, the first game actually sold pretty well in the long run, but didn't come even near Squenix ludicrous sales expectations

>>14628958

>It'll be another Infinite.

This.

The kid is a "Booker, catch!" gimmick. He joins the fight, it looks like he's doing something but he actually does no damage to the enemy.

>>14629496

>(((Schreier)))

>talking about (((toxic masculinity))

Holy fuck what a hooknose.

>>14629552

Asians are semi-soulless followers by nature. They are utterly obsequious in the face of hierarchy (to the point that proles don't help out fellow proles), and just want to hold onto their place by not saying/thinking anything that would see them shamed and made a social pariah. This is why they are such committed consumers. They literally feel humiliated if they don't have the latest iphone or whatever.

For all of these reasons, if the jews actually just wanted to replace whites with consumer drones, they'd only be importing Asians. That they aren't speaks to the utility in having blacks, arabs and pakis to rile up and direct towards social change (which is always beneficial for the jews); and also to the desire among the jews to humiliate their host they envy so much. The inclusion of niggers in this multicultural nightmare of theirs is transparently an act of vandalism.

>>14629554

>>14629552

The Asian gamer I know's response to any complaint about modern games is 'you just don't like it because it's old'. His thinking is that clinging to past games is an artifact of a pretentious, hipster attitude. Needless to say, he loves the last of us, and thinks the souls series (which he considers to be proper JRPG's incidentally) is the best series ever.

He's such an Asian archetype that he's actually going to buy the remastered Dark Souls, which is, as far as I'm aware, just a higher definition version of the old one.

>>14629496

What does he know about fatherhood? He's a faggot.

>>14629600

Tell me, does he wear puffy jackets, skinny jeans, and socks with no ankles? Because that was literally every single Asian at my college. They literally could not even tell each other apart half the time.

>>14629605

kek

>>14629607

Nah tbh. He dresses in a relatively subdued manner. He's not of the basic bitch Asian hipster archetype - probably because he's Filipino, not Chinese, Japanese or South Korean (who are basically all uber effeminate hipster retards).

I just watched the easy allies review. All of the footage I saw was of an utterly generic semi-game, which is a blatant mashup of the last of us and ancient nordic aesthetics. Of course, the faggot reviewing hails the 'deep and nuanced combat system'. On what planet is what I'm seeing deep or nuanced? It's evidently stripped back from that of the original series, which was already fairly flashy and shallow. Also, the game is such hand-holding shite, there are glowing runes marking all of the extremely obvious climbing spots (which are generally the only way you possibly could go anyway).

>in the current year, so long as your "game" has 'stunning vistas' and a terrible story about human bonding - every game journalist will play make-believe and tell the world you've created a 'deep and nuanced' game - contrary to all available evidence

>>14628946

If it's getting 100s in 2018, a games journalist can beat the game with <5 losses.

Basically, a 5 year-old will beat it without difficulty. It would be absolutely mind-numbing for us.

>>14629596

>than what?

Alex Jones, Fox News, or some other shit.

For gaming, he uses the argument that anything with below 70 on Metacritic has something deeply wrong with it.

>>14629634

Sony is massively shilling this awful piece of shit, everybody knows that.

>>14629646

Everyone here does. Sadly there really is a market for this shit among the normalfags.

>>14629564

Nice. liking #3

>>14628936

I'm considering watching a playthrough on YT, just to see the shallowness and mundanity of this supposedly life-altering commentary on manhood.

People strip out the gameplay from a game, add the story of a Hollywood film, and then pretend it's somehow become higher art by copying from an industry that relies on bright colors and loud noises to grab attention. I wonder if the voice actors get molested for their roles, now, too.

>>14629600

Remastered DS looks arguably worse than original, there was a thread a few days ago.

>>14629645

So, literally whataboutery?

>>14629634

>there are glowing runes marking all of the extremely obvious climbing spots

Back when Horizon Zero Award had just come out i was considering getting it despite the poz cus i just like climbing and stealthing around

then i saw gameplay footage and discovered that you can only hide in the designated RED hiding grass and only climb in the designated YELLOW climbing ledges

so basically they are hiding conceptual actions behind color coding, fuck old school tombraide where you could just hang from every single ledge in the game, no we gotta have them highlighted by color

and of all posible colors, THEY JUST HAD TO GO FOR YELLOW

all the ledges stand out because of how out of place the yellow color is, especially in agame with nothing but natural looking emviroments

I just want to shit on sony for introducing this whole games as art bullshit that has slowly spread like cancer to the rest of the industry. Gaming has slowly descended into casual hell ever since these niggers entered the industry and started courting normalfags with their hip and cool marketing and 2deepintellectual cinematic games for adults shit.

>>14629659

Yep. I'm not actually sure who even buys videogames anymore though. Everyone I know who games, other than Asian guy - doesn't like this sort of shit. When I was a kid, literally every lad I knew had a megadrive or a snes. Most of these people haven't grown up to be as committed to gaming as they were. Is it still the case that young boys necessarily have a console in the house?

>>14629672

>I wonder if the voice actors get molested for their roles, now, too

Funny: but let's be honest - most of these accusations of 'sexual assault' are coming from post-wall whores who can no longer get ahead on account of their looks, so are seeking vengeance against the slimy kikes in the industry who promised them the world in return for a blowjob.

>>14629676

The uncharted/tomb raider (reboot) thing of there for some reason being a strip of paint or chalk on every climbable edge is also totally off-putting and retarded. Games like that are made so that - quite literally - no one (even a ten year old with downs) could fail.

>>14629692

>have a kid who fucking loves the trilogy because I let him watch the combat and bosses

>tfw even he makes fun of this game and calls it boring looking

Seeing him slowly becoming a self thinking shitlord really warns my heart.

>>14629692

Kids are still into video games but I don't know to what degree they've moved onto PC. My gf's little brother only plays on PC.

It's gotta be a lot of teenaged boys supplemented by men aged from 20-50. If I tried to name a ratio, it'd just be a guess.

>>14629696

I haven't paid a ton of attention and I don't know how much of it was assault and how much of it was voluntary prostitution. Obviously, my condolences are only for the former.

>>14629243

The sequel were more fun to play tbh. Crafting weapons and stuff was fun.

>>14629177

>>14629708

>>14628936

>>14629681

That image brought a genuine smile to my face. Is he actually free of it or is this a Berensteeeeeoooooowwwwwn universe thing

Kratos even looks like every goddam hipster faggot roaming around today. With that beard, shaved head and steroid-abuse like he thinks he's a tough guy.

>>14629706

Then your condolences are for a few child stars who probably haven't said anything anyway. That the majority of women in hollywood (and a huge proportion of women generally) are shameless whores should come as no surprise. The 'I-I-I was made to fuck an evil man for a multi million dollar career' schtick is simply the last stage of a Hollywood whores' life cycle. Women still expected to be treated like zero-agency retards and victims - even as they constantly declare themselves sexually empowered and in charge of their own destiny. Currently, they can have their cake and eat it too. Fuck 'em.

>>14630086

I guess for the same reasons some print media are still in business.

Inflating reader numbers (bots/indonesian clickfarms/free copies for subscriptions or in trainstations and at physicians) to scam advertisers (or having nepotistic ties to advertisers), who scam or have nepotistic ties to corporations and or government officials.

In the case of some gaming magazines, they are only relevant because they bundle full versions of software/games with their $2-$5 Magazine.

People loved TLoU like it was an actual good game. Since this is basically TLoU but with Kratos, they'll eat it up in no time. You underestimate the target audience falling for the shilling and actually wanting a clone God of War that is not like the originals.

>>14630086

It's faster for retards to go on metacritic and look at one number than it is to watch the game on stream for a minute. Journos only write text reviews to feel professional, I think the only people that actually read them are the ones who want gayming to become a real art form so they go into reviews to find quotes to copypaste.

>>14630382

>>14630339

I'm betting on Loki, the standard villain in anything related to norse mythology because he is literally one of the only gods most people know of. The appearance would be explained by that as well. That ridiculous boulder shattering and anime fighting was pretty horrible though.

>>14630511

>in Polish we have a saying to describe such people

Please tell me what it is. I'm of Polish heritage, and would like to know.

>>14630528

<nie znam się, a się wypowiem

<don't know shit but will speak

>>14630491

I'm so fucking tired of making Loki the bad guy in everything. He's egocentric and a literal rusemaster, but straight up evil? Absolutely not.

If you so desperately want a villain from norse mythology, why not Fenrir, Hela, Fafnir, hell even fucking Thrymr. There are literal bucket-loads.

>>14630540

Hela's not evil either. She's perfectly willing to return Baldr except that Loki was a petulant bitch. People should put down the Kirby and pick up the Snori.

>>14630552

>implying EU is good

>>14629525

the audio balance for the voice is shit, it's annoyingly loud, and maybe the compression gave it some of its charm. This is why you don't trust remakes/remasters 90% of the time because it's done by some random fucks who don't really have any experience with game design.

>>14630552

>eu is falling apart

>a bad thing

go away leftypol stop trying so hard

>>14628936

>reviews tell in ten pages about the narrative in the game no mention about gameplay

Let me guess

-It will have less enemy variety of 5.

-Almost no boss battles.

-Simple combos.

-Exploring for glitter stuff.

-On-rail levels

-Useless computer buddy

-Quicktime events

-2+ hours long cutscenes (worse they are unskippable)

-Cringe dialogs

-Failed quest objective is part of the story

-Walkie simulator with Talkie

-Bulletsponge enemies

Anymore!?

I just want video games to die.

>>14630540

You can blame Christianisation for that, because were looking at the myths from a Christian perspective we tend to see the Trickster/ Underworld God in line with the Devil, hence why they're also portrayed as antagonists

>>14630086

Because media affects how people think and what people buy. If the average gimp sees a 6/10 for something then he won't buy it. Giving 10/10 stamps is great for steering someone into buying something that shills a certain narrative.

>>14630086

No one cares about gaming journalism they haven't for years.

AAA game shilled by them usually flop, I'm not worried about it, you kids should of been around for 2007-2010.

>>14630382

>>14630367

Its rumored that he is Balder, the god of light. During the boss fight he heals from practically every wound just like Balder was immortal in the Norse myths.

>>14630552

>(that and the Germans hugging sand niggers)

Nonsense. EU started as economical union and instead of doing it properly it just started throwing money around. It was single biggest failure of the entire system.

You really could have turned Poland into your colony but instead you just have lots of Poles who filled their pockets with EU donations. What is even worse EU managed to fuck Poland with their regulations.

Migrant Crisis is the best thing that could have happened because it will actually end this bullshit.

>>14630667

That only works for movie games and even then it isn't particularly consistent. Okami, for example, has a 93 metacritic score yet it bombed thrice.

>>14630758

>Okami, for example, has a 93 metacritic score yet it bombed thrice

i fucking hate normal fags for letting this gem fail but eating garbage like TLOU

Looks like Kratos is fighting a Norse soyboy.

>>14630765

That's because one is a video game and the other is a movie.

>>14630817

That's not the point. Go back to cuckchan.

According to this

http://www.soyinfocenter.com/books/176

http://archive.is/xsbPP

> Prince Millet (Hou Ji) sent down to the people a hundred blessings, the glutinous millet and the panicled millet, the grain that ripened quickly and that which ripened slowly, the grain that was planted early and that which was sown late, the soybean (shu), and the wheat.

Another interesting thing

>400 BCE – The Book of Master Mo (Mozi) states that horses eat soybeans (shu) and foxtail millet (ji).

Literally soy horses, what's next, soy cars? oh wait…

>If there's demand, I can also upload the rest of the fight

please do anon

this is a game to watch and laugh at

and who better to entretain us than shit journos

>>14630916

I don't really have a problem with lanky kong having super strength,I'm used to seeing Kratos pull down marble pillars and titan fingernails with his bare hands. I'm willing to suspend my disbelief for that.

What I DON'T accept is the way people talk and act in this game, not only is it era inappropriate (even if it is a fantastical setting), it's grading on my ears too. Has anybody made a webm of the happy merchant with a bag of infinite tricks?

>>14630916

>Those animations look…familiar

Did they rip them from Dead Space?

>>14629525

I love how much they struggle with moving AND aiming.

>>14629729

Not teach. Force.

Also: abandon the women when they age, and get new and younger ones, to also abandon when they age. Repeat. But keep the sons that you like most, and educate them to be successful.

>>14629758

Nor are women.

>>14630916

>quicktime fight animations

>button prompts

>quicktime events in between gameplay

but you gotta love that moment right after the initial movie where the player obviously went "oh shit am i playing?" before moving. good stuff.

>>14630916

>3:10

Kratos get's suplexed and football-kicked to the background

>The camera literally runs towards him

either the camera runs becos it's fixed to Kratos all the time and they didn't bother to make it stop runing whenever Kratos is not runing, or they are trying to pretend like this is a movie and there is an actual guy holding the camera and runing around

wich do you think it is anons?

Incompetence?

or pretentiousnes?

>>14630965

>Incompetence or pretentiousness?

Come on, you already know the answer to this one.

>>14630974

they added to the rerelease. nice filename btw

>>14630965

>Incompetence?

>or pretentiousnes?

Yes.

>>14630965

It's obviously a documentary

at 0:42 he talks to the camera so i guess it might be first person from his wife's son

NeoGaf/ResetEra are not normalfags at all nor your average, run-of-the-mill Sonygger. They're lunatic, obsessive, extremists leftists, even more than the average feminazi leftist faggot, and way suck more corporate cuck than the average sonynigger does on a daily basis. Don't make the mistake of thinking they're common or average. They're just very loud.

>>14630916

2 minutes of cutscene, 1 minute of gameplay

>>14629931

What >>14629956 anon said, it's not necessarily bigger, just tighter and more passionate about the games. DMC's fanbase still cares about their games and still advocate for the upholding of quality, same with NG hence why shitstorms were raised with DmC and NG3. GOW on the other hand has very few dedicated players since neither the audience nor the games are specifically made with that in mind. Jaffe may have had something like that in mind with GoW 1 and 2 but with 3, things started getting deraild and its probably because Jaffe was even more removed from the series after the PS2 era and it floundered beyond Barlog and whoever no-name won the lottery to design a GoW game that week.

>>14630210

That's some hard sci-fi shit you're thinking there anon. Like 1981, it'll happen in around 7 decades or so.

That just shows the game is retard proof, not that the journalist is actually competent.

>>14631102

God of Light is a recurring boss

Your wife's son is not your son

"Kratos, you are the demons/odinson/worldender"

You get upgrades for yourself and your kid, sometimes the kid gets two upgrades at once and you get diddly squat

I heard some people said that devs were claiming there wouldn't be any quick time events, any source on that?

>>14629306

If this were 2007, yes. Now? Not so much. People don't change much, but they didn't know before. Now they do.

I thought all these cucks hated the mediocre god of wars series due to the nudity and objectification of women or some gay shit like that

>>14630649

>>14630540

Can you imagine a game where Loki is the protagonist, though? I mean, everyone imagines Odin and Thor as these great, noble, powerful heroes, but what would a game or story focusing on Loki need to set out to accomplish to feel good? I can imagine it would involve a lot of god-tier shitposting and trickery, and it would have to utilize much of his arsenal of tricks, traps, shapeshifting, and the like. It would probably be a lot of fun , but I would love to hear other thoughts on the matter.

>>14630718

Great, that means he's probably going to die from fucking mistletoe.

>Your wife's son is not your son

>You get upgrades for yourself and your kid, sometimes the kid gets two upgrades at once and you get diddly squat

I hope these are true, it means all the memes about the story and the game really came true.

>>14631230

They'll dismiss actual gameplay criticism with "muh soy" and claiming that "this sort of people" hated the game before it even came out.

Kinda like it's being done now.

>>14631255

>>14631262

easy there, those are just my speculation. Here's another one

He's just memeing. It's his biological son.

wow did I fuck up that post

>You kill your wife's son at the end*

because they don't want to make it TOO much like TLOU. Although if they do kill of Kratos instead of the son, I will laugh my ass off.

>>14631285

I don't fucking know.

The part about upgrades is 100% real though.

This is starting to remind of the Pain fight in Naruto.

>>14631376

Of course, if your brother cucks you it's cucking. If anyone cucks you it's cucking. Unless it's your clone.

>>14631239

you know he did convince a frost giant that Tor was actually a pretty lady in order to get Mjölnir back.

Well, no, but being both aware it's happening and allow it makes it worse by several degrees of magnitude. Even moreso if you set it up in the first place.

>Kratos assumedly kills the other guy by snapping his neck

Remember when Kratos ripped Helios' head off?

I guess the devs didn't.

>>14631321

Anyone notice how until the cutscene kicks in, Kratos doesn't have any blood on him during the gameplay? Then after he throws the guy, then Kratos is covered in blood?

Man, they even ruined the absolutely bombastic music the old games had. The constant use of percussion and brass instruments and the deep gritty sounds really made you feel like wrecking shit and added to the whole brutal style of the game and the slow-but-heavy feel of Kratos' moveset.

This new soundtrack on the other hand just sounds like yet another generic orchestra movie soundtrack, complete with overuse of strings, high notes, light sounds, constantly fast tempo and I don't know how to properly describe it but it's like the melody / rhythm barely changes as it plays out.

>>14631853

Hollywood style orchestrated music to me just sounds like they falling asleep and every couple of minutes a random crescendo starts to wake them up. Just compare say, the Uncharted theme to the Dragon Quest one for example.
