Why does GoW Hades look like a pincushion?

>>16675364

Kratos fucking everything that moves happens once a game, not hard to believe he’d bone a mortal sized axe woman. Giants can change size in it. im sure he’d find a way to fuck her giant sized too. How she got him to not black dad outta there is the real question.

>>16675371

Best douchebag

>>16675277

How the fuck was this series ever successful? I'm speaking of both the original series and the soft reboot.

>>16675385

simple fun violence for casuals that looks pretty. It always had great big visuals with dead simple controls. I know a girl who liked it due to how easy it was back in the day to control, then she was unable to play it when it moved to right stick aiming.

>>16675385

Normalfags.

>>16675379

Hades was actually one of the few decent Greek gods, at least compared to his two brothers. He only abducted his wife (the text call it a rape but in Greek it means a different thing) and stayed faithful to her, and he also fucked over the least mortals.

That being said, Prometheus was the only Greek god that truly had humanity's interests at heart.

>>16675385

Originals were casual friendly DMC clones with good production values and a "mature" storyline and presentation.

Soft reboot appeals to the soy-addled, neutered brain of the average normalfag by letting them take care of someone else's child while the game holds their hand the whole time.

In a way God of War 1 and the soft reboot chronicle the fall of Western civilization.

>>16675385

>In a Gamasutra interview, Game Director David Jaffe elaborated that God of War was designed to be simplistic and forward-moving, but the game "is not innovative or unique, and that's intentional". Jaffe said that their system was shallow and "it forced the team to constantly create new content to trapeze the player from one area of interest to the next".

>In an Eurogamer interview, Jaffe said he liked both "the kids stuff…with Greek mythology" and the idea of adding more adult themes such as sex and violence.

Sony gave Jaffe nearly complete creative control to develop a game with a substantial budget, So, Sony also spent a lot on marketing and reviews - the first quoted review on the wikipedia page of GoW 1 is for CNN.

>>16675397

>In a way God of War 1 and the soft reboot chronicle the fall of Western civilization.

This nails it.

>>16675407

>"it forced the team to constantly create new content to trapeze the player from one area of interest to the next"

If only the devs of Killzone had been smart enough to do it like this instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. What was so difficult in copying Halo and letting you play as space Nazis?

>>16675371

Thanks. I completely forgot about the Kid Icarus reboots.

>>16675385

It helped popularized quicktime events + coupled that with ultraviolent deaths. The testosterone machismo it had was its main selling point.

>>16675378

>How she got him to not black dad outta there is the real question

God of Soy's feminist writers aren't the same writers from the previous games. They wanted to get rid of God of War's "toxic masculinity" reputation. And did so by changing Kratos from a hit-it-and-quit-it playboy into a much more feminist-friendly dad.

>>16675420

Can't wait until they show a hardcore homo scene between Kratos and some other dude (likely a nigger Muslim) in full in GoW 2 to fully cement Kratos as a man in tune with his feelings and to portray that Vikings and Greeks were progressive and enlightened cultures that took it in the ass from POCs.

>>16675397

Prometheus wasn't a god though. He was a titan.

Age of Mythology and Zeus/Poseidon remain the best depiction of the greek gods.

>>16675546

Same difference, really. Can't quite recall if Zeus and Prometheus were related, but considering all the incest going on in the Greek pantheon, they likely were.

>>16675710

>Hindu, Aztec, Mesopotamian, Inca, Buddhism, Maya, and god knows how many small tribal cultures in europe, asia, africa, the americas, etc

Nobody gives a shit about subhumans that achieved nothing and amount to nothing.

As for Europe, most of it is already covered in one form of another, since you really have Slavic, Celtic, Greco-Roman and Nordic represented throughout games and other mediums.

>>16675714

And wanted to add, as for Mesopotamia the problem is that we have next to no proper sources on their mythology, so it's not easy to make stuff with it, and since the populations that made up the culture have been debased with Arab genes there's no real public for it.

Buddhism is heavily featured in Chinese and Japanese stuff already so I have no clue what you're on about.

>>16675710

You again anon? Just stick to playing Aztez or something.

>>16675385

The original is mindless fun with optional challenges (and higher difficulties will kick your ass).

The nuQuel is journo and hipster bait.

>>16675734

Oh, it's the Aztec Jew again? He's getting craftier camouflaging his spic fetish by mentioning other ethnicities.

>>16675710

>third picture's filename

Ninurta wasn't a Sun God, he's a god of agriculture and healing. The Sun God would be Utu.

>>16675640

Definitely worth a playthrough, even if the gameplay could have used some fine tuning. The combat often becomes too hectic for deliberate actions with the enemies jumping around, player character getting knocked airborne by almost all attacks and shattering weapons getting replaced by something unexpected, but it still feels quite easy, especially if you ever bother with the potions.

>>16675746

He's going to post the pictures about the swamp village again.

>>16675714

>Nobody gives a shit about subhumans that achieved nothing and amount to nothing.

Europe literally got civilization from the fertile crescent, m8. Mesopotamians, Indians, Mesoamerica, Andes, and Asians are litterally the ones who actually indepedently did shit on their own.

If you wanna talk about "achiviing nothing", Fucking Japan was a bunch of nomads and random tribes till like 500AD; by that point the middle east had been building cities and waging organized wars for like 5000 years, the Indians had been for like 3000, and the Mesoamericans had for like 1500. Japan was stupidly behind everybody else in nearly every way and just managed to catch up via getting shit from China and then Industrial Europe.

Simply because some area of the world is a shithole now, or is a prosperous, 1st world nation doesn't mean that place or it's people were always like that historically. The only places to never actually do shit that mattered was Australian natives, Subsahran Africa, and the Americas outside of Mexico/Gutamala and Peru/Bolvia; and hell even Native Americans had STARTED to form civilization around the Mississippi river and just got BTFO by european diseases right as they were getting going.

>since you really have Slavic, Celtic, Greco-Roman and Nordic represented throughout games and other mediums.

The amount of Slavic and Celtic stuff relative to Greco-roman and norse is paltry, though. I probably should have actually included that in my examples.

>>16675714

>As for Mesopotamia the problem is that we have next to no proper sources on their mythology, so it's not easy to make stuff with it

I'm not at all educated on Mesopotamian history but i'm pretty sure we have a decent amount of records from at least Persia, if not Iron Age Assyria, etc. Even looking at articles on Bronze Age city-states seems fairly documented, enough for at least a game that uses it as a theme even if otherwise heavily fictionalized.

>Buddhism is heavily featured in Chinese and Japanese stuff already so I have no clue what you're on about.

I'd personally argue that India and Southeast Asia has it's own distinct religious and cultural sphere from East Asia. We certainly get SOME games leaning more into that sort of thing or Japanese games which lightly feature it in addition to more East Asian aeshetics, but purely South/Southeast asian stuff is pretty rare. Only examples I can think off off the top of my head are Asura's Wrath (see pics) and Indivisible, the former of which is hardly even a videogame (though it's a damn good interactive anime), and thelatter of which isn't even out yet.

>>16675746

I'm interested in seeing a wider pool of cultural influences and aeshetics in games in general, though. I know this might be hard for you to believe, vs me being an agenda pushing spic or whatever; but I just legitimately enjoy thematic variety in games; and Mesoamerican history is just what I find the most interesting.

It'd be nice if that were something SJW's actually gave a shit about instead of just whining about shoving black people or women into games, but they are either too lazy to actually advocate for something that matters, and/or see it as "cultural appropoiriation" or some shit.

>>16675756

I just pulled it off of google, anon.

You got any reccomendations for learning more about Mesopotmian history, though? Can you comment on the other anon's assertion about not enough sources

>>16675256

Maze of Galious features the gods in various support roles with Aphrodite as your P2

the villain kidnapping your child before he's even born is a rather impressive piece of evil

the Kid Icarus series features the gods and other mythological figures in various roles in accordance with what is certainly intended to be a satanic panic-friendly version of Greek myth

>>16675760

I liked Cryptark(their other game)

>>16675772

> basically an animated set of egyptian hieroglyphics

A short part of Super Daryl Deluxe is like that actually.

AssCreed: Origins/Odyssey would be a pretty great style of game for that if, you know, it wasn't AssCreed and pozzed to the gills.

>>16675710

>Greek stuff is overused

I can't think of a single good game with Greek mythology, other than Age of Mythology and apotheon.

>>16675786

What does it play like? Beat em up?

>>16675788

Hades has literally done nothing wrong and yet he's depicted as evil in most mainstream media.

>>16675792

I'm probably going to be really bullied for this one, but I really liked God of War 2.

Mostly because the two women in the bathhouse at the start of the game are my dream 3D women.

>>16675772

>Is this even still a thing?

It's the same crowd, really. The people bitching and moaning about Doom, Mortal Kombat and the rest were the left-leaning Christians that interpret "turn the other cheek" as "let that nigger fuck your daughter and thank him for it", and the instigators were Democrat kikes and Hillary Clinton.

>>16675786

Greek myths can be summed up as everyone telling Zeus to not stick his dick in it and Zeus doing it anyway, rape and bestiality being optional.

>>16675761

>Europe literally got civilization from the fertile crescent, m8.

Which was a racially White/Aryan civilization.

>>16675786

To be fair, that game had no native North American release. Not that the PS3 wasn't import friendly or CWFable as the game had a PAL release, but still.

>>16675722

>as for Mesopotamia the problem is that we have next to no proper sources on their mythology

The Gilgamesh Epic, Enuma Elish, Erra and Ishum, the Descent of Ishtar, the Epic of Anzu and Ninurta, and many more.

Also, they have made the PERFECT religion game, Dominions franchise.

Give me games that actually have a slavic pantheon. Even SMT only manages to shit out Chernobog while the rest are a smattering of spirits.

>>16675710

That would be great

>>16675710

Agreed, it's always either Norse, Greek, Chinese or Japanese.

>>16675772

>Is this even still a thing?

When exactly do you think Kid Icarus came out? Hint: 1987

It was absolutely a thing at the time

>>16675786

>>16676135

Remember when Zeus turned into an eagle and fucked a little boy? Greek mythology is peak degeneracy

I've always found it disturbing that greeks were so fucking based and degenerate in the same time

>>16676254

>ancient greeks were one person

>>16676255

They all had more or less the same religion.

>>16676085

I think you might be right about the minoan themes, taking into account the dolphin motiffs and the sense of impending doom represented by the volcano in the background. And while its true that ancient greece is not majorly represented on any areas in the game, greek-styled statues appear (specially the ones representing the twins from the first race), and every statue in the Tower of the Goddess area has that classical style.

Anyway, I just mentioned the game to encourage people to try it, specially for anons interested in ancient civilizations and cultures.

>>16675710

>africa

>>16676059

Titan's Quest is, unfortunately, sanitized to utter blandness rather than living up to the potential, and it gets worse if you play Grim Dawn. A lot of things that they do in Grim Dawn were things that they wanted to do in Titan Quest, so stuff like your character's specializations or abilities being related to worshiping certain gods, and being granted boons by them. Little things like that help add to the world building, and Titan Quest had all of that scrubbed from it.

>>16676255

>ancient greeks

Most people use "ancient Greece" wrong. What they refer to can be anything from the Greek Dark Age, to Ancient Greece, Classical Greece or the Hellenic Period, all of which are very distinct from each other.

Thea: The Awakening. Its a good game.

Offtopic but where do you learn the actual/accurate Greek Mythos that isn't pozzed and rewritten by libshits? I'm not sure if the obscure/small webpages are accurate or just repeating the same shit as Wikipedia etc.

>>16676513

For Greek mythology, some can be found within The Illiad and the Odyssey. The Illiad is about the long siege of Troy. For the beginnings of the Romans (travelling from Troy and founding Rome), the Aenid.

If you want my opinion on things, and something I'd like to share in this thread, I've been reading something very interesting lately. According to Electric Universe theory, these mythologies (Roman, Greek, Talmudic, Assyrian, Babylonia, Chaldean, early Chinese, early Japanese, Hindu, Nordic, Mesoamerican Maya, Aztec/Toltec, Incan) tell a similar story of great catastrophes that happened on Earth and with our planets around the age of 1400 BC and 700 BC. Back to the point though, the book by Emmanuel Velikovsky "Worlds in Collision" has really interesting analysis of these mythologies and there's an insane amount of similarity describing Gods (they called planets Gods back then) clashing with one another, bringing cool light shows, darkness, earthquakes, floods, and fireballs of catastrophe around the world. Apparently crazy stuff happened back then, Venus would come near orbit of Mars every few cycles and cause massive electric discharges which affected Earth. There's too much to talk about I will leave it at that, if anyone is interested and has an open mind, this is a book that will change your perspective of stories told back then.

>>16676667

Can only talk about Greece, but the Bronze Age Collapse saw the disappearance of many of the high cultures of the time, including the Mycenaean Palace Culture.

This led to the Greek Dark Age, named so because it lacks historical records.

For a time it was thought that the myths of "Homer" could at least indirectly tell us something about its societal structures and values, but it is more likely that it was written two or three generations after Greece "recovered", so around 700 BC.

>>16676667

There is also all the ancient aliens bait in ancient mythology, and some philosophy. The reason I wouldn't put too much stock in that idea, though, is that there is also stuff like "Zeus as the protector of the Buddha" out there. There was cross pollination between different cultures back then. It wasn't as fast or as violent, but it did exist.

>>16676667

To correct myself, in 1400BC Venus would come near Earth every few cycles and affect the Earth, and in 700BC Mars and Venus would be near Earth and these two (not Earth) would battle each other. Venus, according to them had an elliptical orbit, which Mars finally adjusted it into being circular.

I am only recently getting into this which is motivating me to read more of the classics.

>>16676675

According to EU theory again, there is a story of a clash with Mars and Venus during the Trojan War. These cosmic conflicts could have caused chaos and war on Earth due to being panicked and enemy walls falling over.

Similar to what you were talking about here's some quotes, note this was written in the 1950's:

"The problem of the date when the Homeric epics originated was raised here, to be solved with the help of this criterion: If the cosmic battle between the planets Venus and Mars is mentioned there, then the epics could not have originated much before the year -800. If the earth and the moon are involved in this struggle, the time of the birth of the Illiad must be lowered to -747 at least and probably to an even later date. The first earthshaking contact with our planet had already taken place, and for this reason Ares (Mars) is repeatedly called "bane of mortals, blood-stained stormer of walls."

"The Trojan War and the cosmic conflict were synchronous; the time of Homer was not separated from the time of the Trojan war by several centuries, possibly not even by a single one.

…There was more than one fateful conjunction between Venus and Mars-at least two are described in the Illiad, in the fifth and the twenty-first books.

… The Greeks chose Athene, the goddess of the planet Venus, as their patron, but the people of Troy looked to Ares-Mars as their protector."

It was only around the 8th Century that Mars became considered as a War God.

The Illiad about Ares and Athene:

Athene removed Ares from the battlefield: "Ares, Ares, thou bane of mortals, thou blood-stained stormer of walls, shall we not now leave the Trojans and Achaeans to fight?…[she] led furious Ares forth from the battle."

later on, baneful Ares entered amid the Trojans' ranks… He called: "How long will ye still suffer your host to be slain by the Achaeans?" The battlefield was darkened by Ares: And about the battle furious Ares drew a veil of night to aid the Trojans… he saw that Pallas Athene was departed, for she it was that bare aid to the Danaans."

…

Zeus replied "Nay, come now, rouse against him Athene…" So came the hour of the battle. Ares, "the bane of mortals," was attacked by Pallas Athene, who sped the spear "mightily against his nethermost belly."

"Then brazen Ares bellowed loud as nine thousand warrios or ten thousand cry in battle, when they join in the strife of the War-god."

The first round was lost by Ares.

>>16676721

Correcting myself again, the book "Worlds in Collision" is written in 1950s, but the quotes are from the Illiad by Homer.

>>16676254

It is seriously interesting, I've been absorbing Electrical Universe material for the past year, it is occam's razor tier (simplest explanation of cosmology).

If you do get more interested, let me push you in this direction. David Talbott has spent his life going through mythology. A few resources where he explains mythology (and the Electric Universe material): the Thunderbolts Project on youtube, there are weekly updates and the channel has hundreds of videos of wide topics. Talbott has a playlist on the channel "Discourses on an Alien Sky" consisting of many short videos. Velikovsky is the sort of father of EU theory, and Talbott picks up with it. The science side of things, Wal Thornhill explains things brilliantly. Another website is thunderbolts.info

Embed related is one of the movies that Talbott has put on the Thunderbolts Project channel about mythology. This would be a decent start.

Middle eastern isn't a single look, there are many different types of people in the middle east from caucasian to Semetic.

Jesus was born semitic, he was an israelite but he was not a jew. he even called Jews children of the devil and pharisees. he cursed them.

Jesus would be considered an anti-semite today. the jews believe he is in hell drowning in boiling excrement.

>>16677162

I implore you to watch my embed above, ignore these simpleton posters near us.

>>16676254

Most of greek knowledge was actually from the middle east, the persians and mesopotamians were way ahead of everyone else in the world.

Greeks would send their children to study in mesopotamia universities and libraries. this was before islam fucked everything up.

>>16677800

Jesus didn't look like that picture at all. The ancient Israelites were White Aryans, and Jesus looked just like a White European today.

>>16678071

Not true. You're assuming that the Europeans always lived in Europe and that race never dwelt anywhere else when there's plenty of historical and archeological evidence that they did. You're also assuming that tanned Europeans would suddenly become sandniggers when that's not the reality, nor is skin pigmentation the only difference between the races.

There were some nonwhite tribes in the area of the Middle-East in Christ's time, and the reason kikes exist today is because some of the Judeans mixed with them and produced a bastardized nonwhite race, the descendents of which were scattered into Europe after 70AD mostly and were the jews the Europeans came to know.

Where do you think you are you libtard double-cuck.

One thing I always find amusing is how most video games are entirely capable of portraying minotaurs and cyclops as monstrous as they were depicted in the old myths, yet harpies almost always are reasonably attractive as far as their human parts are concerned - when the ancient writers went out of their way to point out how fucking ugly they were.

>>16678857

>when the ancient writers went out of their way to point out how fucking ugly they were.

No, they not. There are no guy who created them. Its all myths and if you think that they have definitive stance you are fucking wrong. How do witches look like? Are they incredibly disgusting and yet seductive at the same time, I wonder why is that? Not to mention that half of these stories include some guy fucking a horse or a duck or something like that. You cant have definitive stance on looks of imaginary creature, because it does not exist. Even if you read in a book that some author in ancient Greece described them differently than the other it does not mean that its the only fucking description of them. But the point is that there are no wrong description of imaginary creatures because they are imaginary.

>>16677941

>this was before islam fucked everything up.

>but muh golden age of Islam!

>>16678878

He is correct as are you, only the autistic would try to define in absolutes an imaginary creature.

>>16675710

Play asura's wrath, and by play i mean watch it on youtube.

>>16678874

The only right description of an imaginary creature is the earliest version of it. You'd know this if you weren't a low-iq normalnigger brainwashed by modernist ideology.

>>16679927

Almost all mythology was orally passed down before being put to paper and recorded. They also varied by region considerably. Athens for instance conflates the gods Hermes and Priapus together into one while literally no one else did. This means that 1. Even if there was a singular creator of stories we have no fucking clue who they are 2. Even if we did know, some versions could get so altered they might as well be a different story by the time they got written down and 3. Only the popular versions got written down.

I beat your candyass didn't know there were 3 different body type of Centaurs in Greek mythology, but only 1 version lasts to today as the quintessential version.

If you ask me, the story of Izanami and Izanagi and Orpheus and Eurydice are pretty similar in that.

>wife dies

>husband goes to underworld to retrieve her

>wife can't just resurrect because she ate food of the underworld, same detail between myths

>something happens that may lead to wife being resurrected

But I don't think the Greeks and the Japanese had any contact with one another during the era.

>>16679927

I don't think that era had a concept of copyright laws or copyright protection. And there's nothing really stopping others from changing up the stories over time or writing what is essentially 2000 year old fanfiction.

Kind of like how Phanocles wrote some tidbit on Orpheus being homo for Calais. But he isn't the one who wrote The Argonautica.

Explore both possibilities and see which one seems more logical to you or if one or the other is even physically possible. That's what I'd do.

Speaking of literature, how do you guys read it? I don't really like the idea of consuming entire book works on PC instead of physical, but the internet is obviously the best source of all this interesting literature, and for free no less.

Do you guys use any specific readers or something? I mostly want to spare my eyes from staring at black on white for hours.

I refuse to read on monitors. If your eyes hurt on monitor though, use monitor's built in blue light filter or windows 10's night light feature. Yellow light absent of blue is easier on the eyes. Just get used books, Amazon is the laziest and easiest way.
