Wow that was pretty freaking good why did I let Yas Forums meme me into not playing it for so long

It was hard as fuck on the last two difficulty settings. You died in like two hits to everything.

Yeah but the PS3 version is better cause widescreen and shit. Also, it's was really close to playable on rpcs3 last I checked. It ran at 60 when not much was happening but when a lot of stuff was going on it would drop to the 30s. But since it's an emulator, that means it's running at half speed. It's close enough that I'm fine with just waiting until the rpcs3 devs fix the performance issues. Shouldn't be longer than a year or so. Heck, may already be fixed. I haven't checked lately.

Didn't like the combat at all. They say it's inspired by dark souls but I had 100x more fun with the DS1-3 combat. The rest is very good though, I'm glad I played it

the final valkyrie on ng+ highest difficulty was the single hardest thing I've ever had to tackle in vidya. such a long ass fight and one mistake is death.

Don’t mechanically impressive (from a developer POV) games usually win?

i think the combat would've improved tenfold if they just ditched the shoulder camera and strafe controls.

You type like a bot.

i don't think the devs ever said that, there was a vague reference to Bloodborne or whatever but nothing in the game is really inspired by soulsborne

I 100% it and I believe the main story section is indeed pretty good.
The entirety of their side content is abysmal and the level up system together with their equipment system is bloated and unnecessary, I didn't use 90% of it.

overwatch did not win goty, the other two are great

you should really try to avoid any opinion on this site unless it's regarding some super cult classics, where you'll find a few people actually passionate about the games and videogaming in general, and they'll give you heartfelt advice.
otherwise you will find shit buried under more shit.

Listening to Yas Forums literally ever is a mistake.

Those are three good games. Overwatch wasn't my favorite but I would still call it good.

The game plays like God Hand, not Dark Souls. Play more vidya.

It was released around that time in the industry that marketers tried to claim everything was "inspired by dark souls"

because Yas Forums is full of shitposters who don actually play the games they shit on. I don't want to start any console war bullshit, but Sony exclusives seem to get more shit then other games. Sometimes it's deserved, but GoW was legitimately a fantastic game.

those are literally the three games that won game of the year consecutively you dumbass

> 3D Dota with waifus
> good
And Witcher/BOTW are soulless generic open world formula with 90% filler. And The Witcher 3 has combat that would have been embarrassing in 2005, much less 2015

wrong, uncharted 4 won 2016

>b-but muh game awards!
one award alone is meaningless
gotypicks.blogspot.com/

Fetch quest: the game

also includes brainlet puzzles and unnecessary rpg elements

>wrong
>actually, you're right
wow, great argument you got there

You seem to forget that they still were the best games of that yearc

I really don't give a shit about your opinion, this is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about.

this is you

normies shat on complicated puzzles in previous games so they got exactly what they wanted

>some literally who magazine matters more than the only show people watch
this is you

Name a good game.

It's only good one playthrough, its story over gameplay, they completely butchered the original gameplay style, and frankly the neutered the series in terms of violence too

The equipment system could have been good but there's no room to experiment until pretty much post game.

Overwatch won it in 2016. Nobody cares about some website with 10 viewers.

I'm not watching all that shit nigga.

>it's more right because it's more viewers
great argument fucko, I bet you jerk off to the oscars too

>they completely butchered the original gameplay style

The original had shit gameplay though.

>literally tear enemies in half with your bare hands
>hurr well they dumbed down the violence durr

>plays like god hand

>deletes the image and re-saves it
what now, pussy?

The whole reason the Game Awards gets more coverage than any other individual website's GOTY is because all those individual websites vote for the winners at the Game Awards.

yeah lemme spend 41 minutes watching a video I know will not change my mind.

Never watched a single Oscars in my entire life. The number of American movies I've watched is probably not even in the double digits. i bet you've seen a ton of Oscars though.

This isn't a sincere post is it

2015 had Bloodborne, Ori, and Undertale. Even Life is Strange would have been a better choice despite the botched ending
2016 was admittedly pretty dire, but it still had Dark Souls 3, which would have been a safe choice.
2017 had Nier Automata, Resident Evil VII, and Cuphead.
Any of these would have been better than the shit that got picked.

The entire game felt like a tech demo for the next God of War game. I'm not saying it was bad, but nothing really happened beyond establishing the new setting. There was no crazy boss fights like in the old GoW, you just fight humanoid gods for the entire game. Sometimes the same humanoid god.

The absolute state of the industry. With the exception of Witcher, all if the winners are all extremely overrated garbage praised by faggy søy manchildren and SJW "gaming journalists".

There's not really much room for experiment at all.
For late game you just pic that new armor that let's you survive in the mist and maybe a second armor for valkyres and trials but that is it

lol no, it's because of the new game reveals

GoW2 on PS2 had widescreen and progressive scan. You can run it at 5x internal resolution and it looks perfect.

What new games were even revealed at the Game Awards? The only ones that are ever revealed are literally who indies.

the only thing not sincere thing here is that the footage on the right had to be sped up

>with the exception of witcher
witcher is the most overrated game there

they literally revealed a new console and a launch title for it, among other things this year

I disagree. Sure its not DMC but at least I could juggle properly and jump. Not to mention there was more weapon variety.
They toned down the gore and the kills. It's not nearly as over the top as it was before.

It would have been good if the whole world wasn't just a collection of tiny hub spaces and corridors. After a whole you get fed up of it. It feels like a ps2 game where they were forced to make each location so fucking small because of memory restrictions yet it's on a ps4 in 2018. Also its supposedly a hack and slash but it has worse combat than ninja gaiden 2, which is another game I'm playing that's actually a hack and slash. You can get through this whole game bashing R1 all day there's little to no need for combos unlike something like ninja gaiden where theres an assload of combos you can do especially relating to jump combos. You can't even jump in this game. And that leads me on to my final issue which is the traversal. They have these wall climbing sections which had so much potential to implement full assassins creed tier climbing for a cool experience yet they dumbed it down for casuals by simply pressing X to jump from one location to the other.

Alright game, cool grafix but heavily flawed. Only people who think this is GOTY level don't play videos games because if they did they'd see these flaws sticking out like a sore thumb.

>they dumbed it down for casuals by simply pressing X to jump from one location to the other.
they didn't dumb down anything, they just slapped Uncharted's climbing on it and called it a day

And also the fact that it's combat footage vs story scene footage

This. Every site on that list is already a panelist on the Game Awards, plus a lot more, notably a lot of non-English websites. The Game Awards basically already is an average of all the other GOTYs chosen around the world.

Most of the finishers in the game involve decapitation, cutting someone in half, or ripping them apart with your bare hands. I don't see how that is a valid criticism.

Really? 60fps too? I might have to try it if rpcs3 can't run it next time I go to try it out.

Got this for Christmas and yeah the plot was actually pretty good. Kratos had never been so compelling, that witch chick was pretty good, and the head was entertaining. Gameplay was average to serviceable, content outside of the main plot was mainly all padding with very few truly worthwhile/interesting things to do/see in them, the extra realms are just painful but need to be done if you want the top level stuff, no tits anywhere which is as sin in GoW, XP and armours should not have been in the game at all (the armours were also mostly butt fucking ugly) and the soundtrack was mostly generic as hell, a far cry from the soundtracks in previous titles.

Overall it's not irredeemable trash, but it's very much a Snoy template movie game that's worth playing on the cheap.

That's kind of his point though. The original GoW series didn't waste your time with walking sim narrative bullshit, story was just kind of there to go along with ACTUAL GAMEPLAY.
It's a valid criticism because every time a kill is made the blood is toned down, and hell, not everyone even has blood. Most are just fire/ice zombies.

Wow, that has got to be one of the most boring list of announcements I've ever seen. Glad I've never wasted time watching the TGAs before.

Still, they are the only GOTYs that matter, because they are basically an average.

>play through it and get pretty far
>think game is about to end and story is about to wrap up

>grass is green

yeah one thing i'll give this game is that Kratos has a surprisingly tolerable personality.
In one of the PSP games he literally drags Midas through lava despite the fact he didn't really do anything to him.
