It's just some shitty drawing of female kratos.

Daddy Issues, why did you think Last of Us was more successful than The Order 1886?

>>14699262

Would she be wearing a bra or would she be fighting topless if they did decide to pursue that concept?

>>14699271

She would have been Topless the whole game, that's probably why it never made the cut.

>Why are most game news articles always shilling God Of War as if it's thegoodof PS4 video games?

Because it is a popular IP that ripped off the combat for God Hand while removing anything that made that game fun, people also love the idea of having a son helping you out during gameplay even though he is a literal lore dump and context spewing fag

The game would have been a shit ton better if the kid turned out to be a sadistic sociopath that grew more unstable after his mother's death, then Kratos would have to deal with him, defeat some new asshole gods and at the same time having Kratos realize that he doesn't want his son to follow the same path he did

>>14699300

>Ripped off the combat for God Hand

Your giving them far too much credit if you think any of them played God Hand.

If your talking about GoW 1 then that predates God Hand by a year so if anything some of god hands button prompted moves could have been influenced by GoW 1.

>>14699313

I'm talking about the current game being a God Hand wannabe with this 3rd person camara and juggle mechanics. Granted they are super shit and uninteresting but they certainly look suspicious

>>14699300

>The game would have been a shit ton better if the kid turned out to be a sadistic sociopath that grew more unstable after his mother's death, then Kratos would have to deal with him, defeat some new asshole gods and at the same time having Kratos realize that he doesn't want his son to follow the same path he did

Anon, that would require that the people writing this shit actually understand what it means to be a parent and to take responsibility. They don't want that. They just want to spout what they think parenting is like. And, God forbid, the ones that do have kids treat their child like it's their friend.

>>14699313

Yeah, in the video provided ( >>14699228 ), the original GoW devs stated that they took inspiration from DMC and put their on spin on it. However, they also admit that it's nowhere near as good (Which makes nuGoW even more infuriating).

>>14699271

ESRB is fine with topless women in m rated games.

>>14699300

>Because it is a popular IP that ripped off the combat for God Hand

The combat's centered around punishing and frame advantage? I'd actually play it if that were true, but I doubt it.

God of War is trash from start to finish. If you think magazines pushing shitty games to keep their financial backers afloat is new you must be young.

You do know the what they call men that don't like women right? Its called being homosexual.

>it's just last of us wearing god of war's skin

You answered your own question.

Soyboys are so desperate to be actual men but they know they can't. So instead they latch onto father figure characters in games like they orbit feminists hoping to get some pussy.

>>14699117

His art IS shit

>>14700429

Because back in 2000-2004 the only good 3rd person melee-focused action games were like Devil May Cry, 3 specifically. Which was too hard for a lot of normals. then GoW came along and it was simpler and with the QTEs even people who were bad at games could beat it.

Wide swings of the weapon that covered the whole screen, invincible animations where you rip someones head off. It was the perfect game for people who were bad at video games but wanted to feel good about themselves.

Those people grew up thinking they were good at games but continued to be shit. So now they write articles about games and boy howdy the series that made them think they're good at games is coming back? They are gonna be alllll over its dick.

>>14699228

The original god of war games weren't even good, they were just well polished story driven action games that didn't push anything forwards, but that was never the goal, it was to make the high skill level action games more easily accessible to more players and to market them strongly to get them to those players, and it succeeded in it's marketing/story first goals.

>best selling action game of all time will have the lowest skill ceiling of them all, and no depth

Of course he did porn of that. What a literal homosexual.

>>14699300

>The game would have been a shit ton better if the kid turned out to be a sadistic sociopath that grew more unstable after his mother's death

at one point Kratos reveals the kid that he's a god and the little fag gets completly full of himself out of fucking nowhere, up until that point he's been nothing but a little bitch but upon hearing he's a god he thinks he's some sort of big deal who can do whatever he wants and losses any sence of pity or mercy he might have had, i didn't like fag atreus but the change was way to forced and way to quick, and when the little cunt comes back to his sences it also feels just as forced as when he turns psycho, i also couldn't stand Kratos hypocrecy, the guy lived for revenge for more than half his life but when his little fag son and Baldur want to go full Kratos on other gods in the name of revenge then he suddenly acts like "hurrdurr revenge is bad m'kay" as if he had any rigth to lecture everyone after causing the literal apocalyps back in greece

Also, when his kid turns psycho and takes his time to taunt an injured defeated god before killing him Kratos does nothing to stop him but he still scolds him after the fact

what pisses me off the most is that the writting is the basket they put all their eggs in and it's still so shit that even a pleb like me who doesn't read anything that doesn't have a waifu in it can identify flaws in it

>>14701187

>no finger-hurting button mashing

I know that you are trying to shit one nuGoW but that just tells me that GoW was never good.

>>14701244

That's because it's really easy for Kratos.

>>14701244

QTES are quite faggy in general, so i may be biased.

>>14701097

I bet (((Reiko))) is behind this.

>>14699055

How would one go about fixing this? Should all journalists be government-funded?

>>14701250

There is hitstop there, it's just very slight.

You can notice well if you look just at kratos or just at the enemy. When the hits connect on many enemies at once Kratos "freezes" for quite some time.

>>14701249

while i hate QTEs, its possible to do them correctly. yakuza does this well. the actions performed are situational, and you choose when to do the action. no button mashing, but you still feel like "you" did the action and they feel weighty.

its something you have to earn by killing guys, or successfully pulling off combos/blocks/counters without taking damage. the excess "heat" makes you a better fighter, but using the "heat" to do a crazy powerful combo/attack/weapon attack in the right situation makes it also strategic, since you'll have to fight good to build that heat back.

sometimes you'd have to hit timed button presses, but thats only to get the most out of your combo.

>>14701225

>>14701238

To be fair, it was related to the context and the games were largely casual button mashers anyway.

It was honest, mindless fun with a lot of gore and tiddies. Nothing more.

>>14701270

kratos moved straight through them without any hiccups. atleast on the opening attacks. there is a slight studder though, but that doesnt look like hitstop…. looks like a glitch tbh since the timing of the animation dont get interupted. hitstop stops everything. not just 1 character. and also those freezes arent only when he hits.. sometimes its just random throughout the fight.

>>14701248

>inb4 that's the official statement

>>14701249

I usually don't like them if they ruin the flow of the game, but the one GoW I played the one you fight a giant fucking statue robot in a temple and fuck chicks and I can't remember the name is one of the two games where I think it fits.

It makes no sense to stop gameplay for a two minute cutscene where your character rips the wing out, so they just have him rip it out instantly, with no impact. The original had you slowly rip it out by mashing a button as kratos visibly used his whole body to rip it out with force, it just made the game so much better.

>>14701250

>>14701270

There are hit stops, but they look like shit. It's usually done in the middle of the attack, but it looks like they just threw it in instantly after the attack connects, so instead of having the enemy arching back then stopping midway, it just stops then arches back afterwards.

Plus there's the speed, animation, blur, screen shake, actual gameplay elements like button mashing and sound that actually really impact the end scene.

>>14701300

>Plus there's the speed, animation, blur, screen shake, actual gameplay elements like button mashing and sound that actually really impact the end scene.

To clarify, I meant that in general. These things are actually lacking in the nu-GOW, which is why it looks so weak and shitty.

>>14701229

He's from Switzerland.

The police put him on a watchlist or something.

>>14700382

Doesnt erase the fact that he likes dicks and balls.

It doesn't look good, but it's there.

>hitstop stops everything. not just 1 character.

That's bad hitstop, good hitstop only freezes the two interacting characters/objects.

Take Smash Bros for example, it has crazy long hitstops, but if it froze everything on screen, more than 2 players would make the game a freezing mess.

>>14701300

>It's usually done in the middle of the attack, but it looks like they just threw it in instantly after the attack connects, so instead of having the enemy arching back then stopping midway, it just stops then arches back afterwards.

Wtf are you talking about, hitstop is meant happen the instant moves connect.

>>14701250

There are hitstops, but their intensity varies by enemy. Powerful enemies shrug most of Kratos' attacks unless it is one of the strongest ones. The Valkyries are the most powerful enemies in the game so they hyper armor through most of your shit bar the strongest special moves or during the wind up of some of their attacks that leaves their open. The instakill bug was funny though. The game had a lot of weird bugs involving the boy as well on my playthrough, like any AAA shit.

>>14700970

This shitty camera is only like that because of the boy. The limited FOV and it being almost glued to Kratos' back makes it that they can teleport the kid around to speed up gameplay (ie. places where the boy must be with you) without becoming jarring.

I think of the whole boy thing as a interesting experiment for a way of making an action game where you control two (or more) characters. It is a much better companion system than Nier: Automata's, but the sacrifice with the weird camera plus the fact that the designers were too afraid of frustrating the players so that they made Atreus an unstoppable nigh invulnerable machine makes it a somewhat of imperfect/failed experiment.

>>14701359

>I have seen videos

Nah, there is definitely difference in hit weight, hitstop and enemy stagger between doing a charged R2 on a wolf vs doing it on a fully armored traveler and all attacks are like that. Weaker enemies will trip and fall if you throw the axe at their feet or freeze outright if you hit a headshot, while stronger enemies will have the axe ricochet and they will barely notice the scratch you made on them. Though decent, the action feel of nuGoW is still not as perfect as Platinum or Team Ninja at their best.

Anyway, the game is passable. Not as shit as you anons want it to be because you need to be hipster contrarians, but definitely not even close to being one of the 10 best games released in the past 2-3 years. The journos are blind if they think this shit is a 10/10, but well, they also thought BotW was a 10/10 so whatever, any above average game from a big company will be 10/10 from now on I guess.

>>14701420

>Not as shit as you anons want it to be because you need to be hipster contrarians

The game just feels bad.

It's not the worst thing ever and would be better received if it was a GoW spin off as opposed to "fuck you story and gameplay, misogynistic gamers, this is GoW now", but it's certainly less than decent.

>>14701420

If you ever have to call somebody a contrarian, 99% of the time you're just not able to handle somebody disliking something you enjoy.

>>14701434

>"fuck you story and gameplay, misogynistic gamers, this is GoW now"

GoW was always pretty mediocre blockbuster nonsense anon, this one is par for the course and it is as GoW as the others were. The structure of casual exploration + style over substance action set pieces is exactly the same, bar the change in the camera. And that exists because of the boy which is the only good thing about this game. On the hand of a more capable developer in the future, the concept of the boy can be improved further and we can actually have some cool single player action games with two playable main characters controlled at the same time. For that itself I'm glad this game exists even if it is just a game for normalfags to oogle over and be annoying about it.

As I said, the game is passable. A 5-6/10. I took one for the team and played it to see how shitty it was. My expectations were so low that I was actually surprised that the game didn't suck that much and actually had a glimpse of a good idea.

>>14701455

I'm just stating the fact that most anons here declared the game to be shit before even touching it or any real information about it being out. People were considering it to be shit simply because game journos loved it and normalfags were hyped. If that isn't being contrarian, I don't know what it is.

>>14701268

christ no, just look at the BBC if you want to see why that's a bad thing. newest scandal: a bunch of journalists were "fired" from BBC after public backlash over them being government mouthpieces, and BBC was just caught giving them taxpayer money to help them pay for mortgages and personal stuff as "crisis money" or some shit.

i honestly don't see a way to "fix" the current journalism problem simply because the current audience only goes for the really low-hanging fruit - news feeds on their snapchat, whatever facebook shits on their plate, that sort of thing, and the only way to get on those things is to have a lot of money to buy advertising space and even then you're only allowed to if you align with their generally left-wing political model. unfortunately, the corrupt media is guarding all the doors and holding all the keys, and getting around them is nearly impossible

>>14701485

Also, just if it isn't clear don't spend your money or play nuGoW. It isn't good enough for the time or money of anyone. Go play Yakuza 6.

>inb4 they just reuse the original titles

>>14699228

Jaffe used to be such a chad. Why did he turn into a cuckold bros?

>>14701623

The series was done by GoW 3 with Kratos revenge arc finished so it had to reinvent itself to continue forward. It was obvious that the new one would be a reset, at least thematically, by being called just "god of war". Besides, 1-3 already exhausted the concept of "they killed my family, so I'll fucking kill everyone", Kratos has no bone to pick with anything so for him to go on a rampage against another pantheon there would be a need for a new motivation to do so. NuGoW created an acceptable one without being just a complete rehash. In the end, nuGoW is thematically just Kratos trying to have Atreus to not become like him. Also, there is an interesting (albeit REALLY badly executed) foil to Kratos in Baldur, which is exactly GoW 1-3 Kratos in the sense that he is pissed at everyone, especially his mother. The writers dropped the ball on that character arc though.

The gameplay itself is much more similar to the other ones than you think and by the time you grab the Blades of Chaos it becomes pretty much a GoW 4 except in name. nuGoW has only 3 boss battles against gods, but well, GoW 1 had just one. It is still a game of "explore these pretty simple areas to find hidden shit, now mow down these mooks, oh shit an elite, mow it down enough to stagger it, press button, see violent finisher, we hope you feel accomplished". The removal of the QTE minigames on the finishers may be good or bad depending on who you ask, but it is FAR from a change that would remove the "soul" of a game franchise.

>Simply calling it another thing would have reduced a lot of the backlash on the game. Hell, you could still put "a god of war spin-off" as a subtitle, people wouldn't care, because you told them straight up that it wasn't the same game.

But the game is the continuation of the journey of Kratos. I hate the name without any numbering or subtitle, but nuGoW it is definitely a game from this particular franchise through and through as even the mediocrity is consistent.

>>14701705

The padding in nuGoW is really aggravating, I agree. Tacking on shit RPG systems and Diabloesque rarity based loot is a fucking cancer.

Soy. Adult boys with wives. Wives they do not keep in check.

>>14701759

>even the mediocrity is consistent

you are so wrong here m8

old GoW had death traps, plataforming and puzzles

nothing to write home about but they were far better at breaking up the monotony of the combat and toghether all these mechanics made old GoW better than the sum of it's parts

old GoW also had good level design, it was linear game but it was the fun kind of linear, like the uncharted 2 & 3, this on the other hand has a big empty map cus gotta have dat next gen openworld that does nothing but add to the padding

>>14701755

>no gore

You haven't played it. Good to know.

>no tiddies

The only women in the game were freya and the valkyries and they are all ugly. The best tits is of the ghost of Athena in Kratos' head. Shit sucks I agree. There is some sexual talk between Kratos and Mimir (usually talking about the Valkyries) that flies over the boy's head which I found mildly funny.

>no jumping

Thank god. GoW platforming segments were terrible

>no puzzles

You really haven't played it. both nuGoW and 1-3 puzzles were shit and piss easy.

>no speed

<Implying GoW 1-3 are fast.

I have to replay the older ones, but nuGoW felt very similar in speed from my memory of 1-3. Which is a middle of the road between molasses and going mildly fast.

>no QTEs trust me, you'll miss them, they were exesive but well implemented and certainly better than a one button instant kill after a stun

I really didn't miss them, but I will agree that this is subjective

>>14701781

>old GoW had death traps, plataforming and puzzles

The platforming was removed, yeah. All others still exist in nuGoW , though deathtraps are much rarer in nuGoW. They are pretty shit in nuGow, but I don't remember the older ones being any better.

>>14701794

>You haven't played it

sadly is did, up until the alfelheim boss where i got bored with the monotony,the few splatters of glowing ooze spilled by enemies do not really qualify as gore when you consider the prevous games where you could actually see the intestines of a centaur

>GoW platforming segments were terrible

and nu GoW ain't any better whitout them

>both nuGoW and 1-3 puzzles were shit and piss easy

the pizzles in 1-3 were not mind breaking but there were some clever ideas here and there that served as a nice break between fights, as for nu GoW the only puzzle is "throw weapon at glowing target" or "line up 2 targets to hit them with one throw" or "stuck weapon on wall then move soemwhere else and recall it to hit target", previous games had braindead puzzles, nu GoW has nobrain puzzles, if you can even call them that

>Implying GoW 1-3 are fast

wayfucking faster than NuGoW

>I don't remember the older ones (death traps) being any better

the one that stood out the most for me was one in Pandora's Temple in GoW 1 where you had a bounch of doors to open by mashing O while flaming boulders came rolling down on your ass

>>14701759

>The series was done by GoW 3 with Kratos revenge arc finished so it had to reinvent itself to continue forward.

>Besides, 1-3 already exhausted the concept of "they killed my family, so I'll fucking kill everyone", Kratos has no bone to pick with anything

So? It doesn't justify completely fucking the series sideways and pretending it's the same thing.

They used lawyer tier bullshit with convenient half truths. Make TLOU and sell it as "THE God of War game" because they knew people would blindly buy it because of the popular name, expecting the fun over the top DMC-like gameplay.

That's like making a portal-skinned top down shooter and calling it "Portal" because "hurr durr the series ran it's course". You'd still be a fucking cunt baiting the puzzle fans into buying that piece of shit.

>NuGoW created an acceptable one without being just a complete rehash. In the end, nuGoW is thematically just Kratos trying to have Atreus to not become like him.

Again, that doesn't matter. You only proved my point that they completely changed the game despite the misleading title.

I would have no problem with it being a Norse Mythology GoD spin-off, and neither would most fans or even the people that are bitching in this thread.

>The gameplay itself is much more similar to the other ones than you think and by the time you grab the Blades of Chaos it becomes pretty much a GoW 4 except in name.

Now you're just spweing bullshit.

>see violent finisher

>see

That's another problem. It's just like nu-doom with "epik 1 button finishers" where you just sit back and watch the character do cool things.

It ruins the flow of the game and isn't fun at all.

>The removal of the QTE minigames on the finishers may be good or bad depending on who you ask,

It's bad when you replace it with 3 second cutscenes. Either remove it or keep it, don't just half ass it.

>but it is FAR from a change that would remove the "soul" of a game franchise.

It doesn't remove the "soul", everything else does. Removing QTEs is just another nail in the coffin.

>>14701794

>The only women in the game were freya and the valkyries and they are all ugly.

And there you have it, another change in the game. It was a fun little game about revenge, killing and tits.

You remove the revenge, take the fun out of the killing and remove the tits because people who don't even play games dislike it.

everything he praises it for sounds boring and the gameplay just never looks good for this game… not to mention those shitty boat or walking segments.. I dunno, maybe it's like RE7 where it looks boring as shit but actually plays alright. Guess I'll wait and see when the game's like 20 bucks.

>>14702617

>but when I game I do like gets good reviews, they're totally deserved XD

I'll take the bait. I think most of us are wary of good reviews either way and view when a good game gets a good review as more of a fluke than anything else. Hell, I seek out games that get bad reviews more than the ones that receive critical acclaim.

One of the things that always bothers me in games like this is when they pick a certain theme or setting, in this case norse mythology, and do enough research into concepts, terms, names, etc to get a lot of that shit right but mess up on little things here and there. The most obvious example in this game being the name of Kratos' weapon, the Leviathan Axe. Why is a Greek god chopping up draugr with an axe named after a monster from the Old Testament?

>>14702629

They could have even named it the Karkken Axe.

>>14702621

>Hell, I seek out games that get bad reviews more than the ones that receive critical acclaim.

I do something similar to that.

I personally can't talk about something I like in an objective manner, but I can do it about something I don't like, and I believe most people are the same. They don't pull punches when talking about something they don't like.

When I want to quickly read about a game to see if it's worth playing, I'll see gameplay videos and read the negative reviews. When negative reviews are something like "it uses denuvo, always online despite barely functioning server", I know it's not a game worth buying, when it legitimately cites bad points and why they are bad in the game, I might not think of it as something good, maybe ignoring it altogether, and when it's just "muh sexism, muh mature themes, muh dated games", I know that there's a bigger chance it might be good.

Though that's not just for games, I do that for books and pretty much anything I can read reviews on.

>>14702639

That was the first thing I thought when I saw what it was called. Though now that I think about it, maybe they called it the Leviathan Axe to confirm that the dwarves who built it were jews

>>14702617

>caring about what any (((journalist))) thinks about any form of media you consume regardless of your opinion

This shit is akin to the same kinds of faggots who are unironically talking about what their favourite e-celebrity thinks about the game. If you're a full grown man and you care about what some retarded faggots think about a time wasting hobby you should be shot for being such a fucking waste of space.

I don't think anyone here even thinks that badly of the game, it's just hilarious to upset the kinds of fucking degenerates that think anyone should give a flying fuck about (((journalists))), and the fact that you can so easily get a response from them by calling them soy boys only feeds the shit-posting fire. (((Journalists))) are just collective lolcows that like all lolcows will never understand simply not responding is the best way to deal with the issue.

>>14702665

ironically, metacritic and steam reviews are a far more reliable methods of sifting through the dozens of new games released each week than """discussion""" (meaningless shitflinging about literally everything that's released in current year) on this board.

>>14702629

Leviathan shares many similarities to the Midgard serpent

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6rmungandr

Which also appears in the game. Later he imbues the axe with some magic or shit which might imply they're related

>>14702706

> Later he imbues the axe with some magic or shit

I forgot about that. It spits your axe back at you after you throw it into a lake and the words "Eitr Imbued" pop up on screen but there's no explanation of what the fuck that even does or how it impacts the game. Quality game design.

>>14702629

Speaking of using mythology and shit for settings in pop culture, that reminds me: are there any good examples of movies, shows, comics, games, etc that actually portray Hades correctly? I can't really think of any off the top of my head that don't just make him Satan.

>>14702752

Sounds like DS3 which gives you shit weapons at first then.

>>14702741

Age of Mythology maybe. I don't think they use him for story

>>14702757

Nah, It was actually a different game made by this German team Deck 13, this is the review.

>>14702766

I mean that God of War gives you a gimped character at first like Dark Souls 3 which doesn't give you good weapons until you get the Great Club or so.

>>14702769

The Sellsword Twinblades are one of the strongest weapons in the game if you upgrade them regularly.

>>14702766

>the surge

Fuck me, I really wanted to love that game, but your character's attacks are so fucking slow and exaggerated, while the enemies are speed demons with barely any telegraphing. I got maybe to the second boss before I burned out.

>>14700824

>go to grab an enemy

>accidentally trigger the boss' kill animation

Even the first game made enemies immune to grabs until they entered a stun state. How the fuck did the programmers miss something that fundamental to the game?

>>14702757

Isn't the longsword the most basic of ezmode upgrade this and you're set weapons?

>>14702777

Maybe. I didn't realize shields were useless until I got the Paired Ringed Knight Greatswords and even NG+ was easy as hell. Kinda bummed about it since it makes an entire mechanic bad/not the best choice.

>>14702757

DaS3 would have been my favorite game in the series if they didn't completely remove armor upgrades. It completely removes the fun of building your character.

>>14702795

correction: i meant ribcage instead of shoulders. ideally: the hip bone and ribcage should be 1:1 for olympian types. maybe 1.5:1 the former being bigger hips and having an hourglass figure with nice huge muscles to show off her power.

>>14702440

i have yet to play Yakuza 6 but i noticed you used the word "cutscene" and for what i know about the series it's as videogamey as videogames come so i'm inclined to believe that all the dialog and cutsences can be skipped at the press of a button if you just wanna jump back into the action.

As for walking i know it's not exacly open world, hopefully there's fast travel via map in the menu instead of just making you backtrack from one corner to the map to the other or force you to find a fast travel gate becos "gotta keep this one take bullshit that Half Life did 20 fucking years ago but we're still gonna pretend like it's some sort of avant grade cinematography bullshit"

and my problem with grinding is the generic way it's done, collect a metric fuck ton of garvage and sell it to the merchant for gear upgrades wich wouldn't be so bad either if the map wasn't so pointlesly big. Movement unlocking via XP is a clasic, it pisses me off that old GoW rewarded you by giving more XP if you made a nice combo while the new one does not, or if it does, i didn't notice

That's an old image, right? Got to give him some credit, he's improved a lot especially the feet

>>14703511

Can't even stand his voice anymore. btw, I'm half-expecting for him to do a 180 and end up praising this game. I remember him doing a similar thing with RE6, he has a history of flip-flopping.

>>14703511

>>14703523

Also, he likes these sorts of games to begin with. He praised Uncharted 4.

>>14703523

i don't remeber him ever making a video saying RE6 would be shit before making the one where he said he liked the braindead michael bay factor of it so i'm not sure if it's flip floppin. It seems more like a case of devils advocate + shit taste

>>14703530

and speacking of devils advocate

i haven't played Uncharted 4, i'm aware of the nigress cancer and the retconned older brother but what i saw of the gameplay looked like the best it's ever been. There's really something wrong with you if you find no amusement in jumping off a cliff, catching and throwing back a granade mid air then grapple hook swinging acros the air while gunnin down niggers only to gombastomp another goon and steal his AK on the fly to keep shooting

yes i know the gameplay is super simplyfied and it likelly takes 2 or 3 button presses to perform that kind of move, but i don't mind brain dead gameplay so long as it's fun, i used to enjoy 2D beat em ups, nothing beats that in brain dead, i even like the combat in the Arkham games and i don't even use the gadgets, i just have fun shutting down my brain and watching Batman perform his elavorate fighting coreography just by pressing 2 buttons.

It's not the brain dead gameplay of Nu GoW that botehrs me the most, it's the constant removal of fun from the formula cus (((the medium has matured))). Old GoW combat was braindead and basic too, but it was still fun seeing a ball of rage wrecking everything in sight… in fact, the combat shutted my brain so hard that often even the QTEs became a chalenge and i fucked them up just because my brain had been dumbed down by the rest of the combat. in a way that's kinda genius, if your game can elevate itself to DMC heights then just lobotomize the audience with brain dead fun until they get down to your level

>>14703586

>if your game CAN'T elevate itself to DMC*

i fucking hate when make these typos… post edit when

>>14703586

The video he did about nuGoW is similar to the one where he decried the death of action horror games, and complained that this wave of modernization was targeted to an audience who was never interested in such an experience anyway (he mainly used footage of DS3, but also RE6 to make that point).

Later on, he absolutely praised RE6, not just in a guilty pleasure kind of way, he actually called it "one of the most legendary games" of the past generation.

That's not to mention a video he made about how we shouldn't be hyping ourselves for games that have shown no gameplay (or even against hype in general), but before that, he had a whole video doing precisely that: hyping upcoming games (this was back in 2016 I think, and we've seen almost nothing about that new Vanillaware game still).

I just don't trust the guy. But even aside from that, I couldn't stand his smug, passive-aggressive tone anymore. The main reason I used to watch him was when people were jumping into the DmC hate bandwagon after gaming blogs had been shitting on fans of the series. Beyond that, I figured his content was almost worthless to me.

>There's really something wrong with you if you find no amusement in jumping off a cliff, catching and throwing back a granade mid air then grapple hook swinging acros the air while gunnin down niggers only to gombastomp another goon and steal his AK on the fly to keep shooting

I actually don't think you can catch and throw back grenades in this one. Regardless, the game cucks itself with its highest difficulty which discourages using the grappling hook and playing aggressively. UC4 is not just simplified. It really is game journo bait, and it suffers from the same maturity(tm) issue as nuGoW.

There was some yt channel named Mother Basement, and he laid out these criticisms nicely. I remember TGBS even posted in that video acting all defensive.

>>14701268

>should [thing other than public law and national sovereignty] be government-funded?

>>14703586

Anon, Uncharted 2 and 3 were enjoyable because, as shallow as they were, they let you go hog wild and actually play the damn game, and once the action started it didn't stop for a good hour or two, especially after you hit the halfway point, the game would just ramp up right until the end. Whereas, Uncharted 4 has less actual gameplay than cutscenes, and has awful pacing. I mean, there's actually a part where you go something like two hours without shooting a single enemy in Uncharted 4.

>>14703498

People like it because it's usually a neat drama with lots of excessive violence that makes you feel powerful. Also Kiryu has slept with multiple women in the past. Especially in Y0.

I got gifted this game as a belated birthday present, and I just want to know who the fuck decided that Challenge = damage sponge.

I chose "give me a challenge" mode, and I think the only challenge is trying to figure out why Kratos has suddenly become geriatric in his later years, In god of war 1-3 you could attack minotaur and stun lock them for a few seconds, yet these drauger take 3 hits and then go "fuck that my turn" and swipe you in the face if you try to do the "combo system". They have these witch enemies that you have to stun with your arrows and then you can attack, but pair them up with the fucking "heavy draugr" which are basically like "oh you wanna fight me, well you can't stop me from attacking you, and if you wail on me for more than 2 hits I have an instant shove that does as much damage to you as my normal windup attacks"

I do not feel like god of war in my god of war game, and that fucking sucks.

>>14707457

TL;DW: God Hand, Asura's Wrath, DMC (Even DmC), Bayonetta, Yakuza, Uncharted, Zelda: BotW, and all 6 previous GoW games already did everything that nuGoW is trying to do, and they did it better.

Should I buy it? Why is everyone shilling for it so aggressively? Critics and normalfags alike can't shut up about how supposedly good it is but the environments seem bland, the bosses are unimaginative and gameplay is severely hindered by the abundance of cutscenes.

>>14708059

even The Last of Us is better than NuGoW, it didn't have all that needles backtracking and neither the shooting nor stealth were hindered by the camera

>>14708845

>Should I buy it?

NO

>Why is everyone shilling for it so aggressively?

ok, i'll spoonfeedyou since your to lasy to read the tread. First, it removes gameplay to cram more movie in. Second, Soyny shekkels buying journos and fanboys deffending their purchace.

>>14708059

I imagined that would be the case for this game. It reminds me of what MathewMattosis said in his podcast about western games trying to be several things at once and not really excelling at any of them, while japanese design philosophy does the opposite and tends to be hyper-focused.

Going on a tangent now, but ironically, that particular sentiment is exactly why I stopped watching TGBS, among other stuff on jewtube -but especially reviewers, which are a dime a dozen nowadays. It seems that type of content grew with the mentality that everyone is an expert critic somehow.

Angry Joe and critikal come to mind with their incredibly shallow opinions of movies. Why does anyone care about either of them when RLM exists, for example? It seems audiences mainly gravitate towards personality first, and interesting ideas/content second…

I believe that it's Sony taking advantage of marketing firms and those who use social media and online forums to their advantage. Look at Celeste as an example, it's currently one of the best selling games on the eShop, despite being mediocre trash. Now why was a game like this featured in a direct and also being nonstop shilled on sites like reddit, Nintendo forums and indie communities. I believe it's because it had a strong marketing push by the indie clique. Now imagine that kind of shilling force and multiply that by 100%. That's basically what happened with TLoU and now Nu-GOW.
