This is actually the best video game I’ve ever played. Why do people shit on it so much?

>oh no, the last half hour gets you excited for the next game, what a fucken sin
it is when you in the same year you got a game like RDR2 that almost 4 times as long while being a complete story.

>long game = good game
It was a whole story. That's why they needed to hype you up for a sequel, or you'd think it's Kratos's happy ending. The narrative goal was always spread ashes on the highest peak in all the realms

>It was a whole story
barely, the whole games feels like a set up. I'd rather have one long game that tells the complete story than have 3 short games that tells the story in chunks.

Have sex

hey i dunno about playing games but its boring to watch

>these posts
I forget that these hours are usually the Sony Suck Off portion of Yas Forums

It's a widely popular and higly sucsesfull playstation 4 game, to much for Yas Forums to handle

Jump off a bridge pleb. Gullable, stupid players like you ruin vidya, remember that for the rest of your boring life.

bet you hated gow 1-3 too huh?

90 of Yas Forums are sonybros tho

>zero aerial combat
>zero general grab cases, have to build up a stupid meter against everything first, this same concept was a disaster in Ascension and now it's even more limited
>color coded enemies
>can't cast magic on our own
>cooldowns
>AI companion that deals shitloads of damage, making your actions as the player less important
>less enemies fought at once
>low enemy variety, palette swaps, and barely any weapon variety (down from 4 per game)
>RPG stat shit carrying you through the game, instead of knowledge and skill
>camera shows less of the action
>limited to two weapon specials at once
>a fucking cooldown dictated self heal
>Rage state isn't an augmentation of our normal attacks, but a swap to a very limited moveset
>highest difficult nerfs, rather than encourages utility approaches to combat by making turned enemies immune to damn near everything but basic hitstun and damage
>highest difficulty features terribly bloated enemy HP totals and the turn mechanic fucks the player most early on when they're least equipped to deal with bullshit
>neutered gore/violence, generally a sign of mass appeal and try to be more politically correct, again often correlated with compromised gameplay
>game literally spells out how to fight bosses
>fucking RNG Luck bullshit
>crafting

This dogshit is not GoW. Cooldowns, color coding, open world aspects, boat and RPG shit needs to go while jumping makes a comeback. Base moveset shouldn't suck shit due to the existence of Runics. 'Balancing' the game with Boi in mind was also stupid. No nerfs post release. Weapon switching shouldn't have a dedicated animation and we need many more weapons (like a proper bow for Kratos). If they're not going to give use the old grab system back (not needing to build up a stupid meter beforehand) then we should at least get more grabs like Cleave (normals that turn into grabs upon hitting grabbable foes). Also, Runic (resource consuming) grabs. Fuck these palette swapped bosses.

no, you?

so last year?

best game you have ever played?

original GoW is too gamey

Try playing a game with actual depth, like DMC 5

so you are more of an on rail shooter player, i see.

but it clearly says god of war, how is that possible?

i mean, i liked it a lot, kept me really fucking entertained for a month or so, but best video game you've ever played? if it actually is, more power to you user

When the game released there were lots of anecdotes from bearded numales saying how much the game resonated with them due do its themes of fatherhood, and there were many articles written about how the franchise had "matured" and how Kratos had to move beyond his "toxic masculinity" to raise his son. That coupled with it being a Sony exclusive garnered it a reputation as a cuck game.

Here’s your reply

>lack of enemy variety
>story blueballs you by setting up a bunch of cool shit and saving it for the sequels
>bad pacing. I climbed up that mountain three fucking times

Yas Forumstards arent people

GoW 2 pretty much not having an ending does suck, yeah.

how can he remember when is dead from jumping off a bridge?

Both nuGoW and DMC5 are trash.

Because it's mainstream and the special snowflakes on here can't stand it.

sounds like someone didnt finish the game making assumptions

I only played up to a little bit ahead of when you meet the guy who upgrades your shit but man I had already gotten bored with it. Combat felt repetitive as shit. Throw axe,call back axe. Rinse and repeat with maybe some swings here and there and a dash of having your BOY shoot arrows. Game is also pretty linear and while their is some room to explore the walking and moving in general just feels to slow that you don’t even want to bother exploring. Game basically wants you to slog through “gameplay” so you can get to the “good” parts which are just the cutscenes. I still have the game but I just never get the urge to go back and see if it gets better from there or it just gets worse.

Writing is abysmal.
Combat is simplistic and generic.
Audiologs

Most fun I had with the game was being severely underleveled, on the difficulty just below the highest, fighting against a valkyrie on top of one of the towers.

I know that's bait, you know that's bait, let's not do this.

Nice B ranking, idiot

I see it going down like this; he reads my post and while hes going to the bridge to jump off, he thinks what a blight and an evil he has been to this world and vidya.

>Why do people shit on it so much?
Because you spend too much time on Yas Forums and it makes you think that the minority of contrarians here matter.

>game literally spells out how to fight bosses
good luck with valkyries

Eh, as a long time God of War fan I thought it was just alright, I didn't mind the change in gameplay and character personality, but I honestly felt like it simply didn't have same level of awe and epicness the original games were going for, it wasn't until the very end that the game was just started to become something more in the spirit of the old games with the set pieces.

It was like a 6 or 7/10, not sure why the gaming media lost it's collective shit over it to be honest, you would think it was the second coming or something.

Nice argument retard.

The RPG shit is fucking terrible. The only statistic that matters is level, which wildly swings around the difficulty from boring as shit to piss easy. There are no builds, Luck/perks are an embarrassment, why the fuck does an action game have a defense stat, only six functionally different abilities to swap out at any time, and tying hit properties to level scaling was beyond stupid. It's pointless busywork that actively detracts from the game.

Cooldowns are garbage. They're braindead, grossly restrict player choice, have no element of cost effectiveness, highly exploitable, gimp short fights and fuck you over in long ones. What's worse, outside a NG+ armor they're the only decent way of dealing damage outside Rage. Meter is better in every way.

Basing the game around an unkillable NPC who draws aggro, has better hit properties than you and an arrow type that chains between and stuns enemies while dealing more damage than most of your normals was a brilliant fucking idea.

You fight the same fucking enemies in the same sorts of scenarios over and over and over because 'muh open world'. And don't even get me started on the valkyries.

Please defend Balder's color coding to me, the dragon and the glorified Elf Lord. I'd love to see you try.

Nu GoW has the worst fucking implementation of RPG mechanics into an Action game in the medium and some of the gameplay period. It's complete fucking trash.

100% accurate. the salt generated is proof

I guess Norse mythology is just not as interesting and awe inspiring as the Greek one.

Kill yourself

kek

They obviously saved the jump button for the sequel to make it easier to add new weapon moves.
Also I'd prefer the old style "uncharted" platforming to the contextual crap in the 2018 version.

How do you get that from my post retard?
If i don't like games that screech the action to a halt why would i like games where you can't move at all?

pcfags are jelly thats why

They lost it Because its a PS4 Exclusive. THat's the only thing that makes it so special.

10/10 post this guy gets it

I played it for free because i signed up for a psnow demo then cancelled it before it charged me and i still feel like i got ripped off. The old god of wars had kind of an arcadey feel to them and they were fun. This games over the shoulder view was fucking stupid that combined with every monster's ai having one strategy and that was to circle around behind you. The gameplay just boiled down to press dodge every time you see a red circle.

Lmfao is this also the only game you've played?

/thread

OP play DMC5. Now that's how you do an action game.
