God of war has a skill tree now?

>KNOWLEDGE GAINED
>+50 ARHCERY

HE IS A FUCKING GOD OF WAR WHO KILLED COUNTLESS GODS. AND HE STILL NEEDS KNOWLEDGE BOWS?
WHY THE FUCK IS THIS ALLOWED?

Don't be a faggot

So Kratos isn't allowed to get better at Archery? I don't understand your complaint.

Maybe there's a "Kratos" in every mythology in their universe and this is just the next one in the cycle of Kratoses

we skyrim now

He already used bows very flawlessly in old games. What makes you think he needs more knowledge about anything with fighting?

fuck they really are trying to go witcher route

there was nothing wrong with the og gameplay why do this

might as well make a new char instead of kratos

You ain't gonna play as Kratos. You're gonna play as the kid. Why the fuck would Kratos get xp for something the kid did.

Plenty of experience in archery, too. You couldn't get much more proficient than he was by GoW3

His complaint is stupid just like this entire god forsaken board. Everyone here just hates and complains about everything without making any actual points.

This.
Think of God Of War as Zelda now.

Its for the kid you idiot, notice control switched over to him when he was shooting the deer. You're obviously going to play as him grown up.

God or War? More like..

NOVICE OF WAR. heh

he's a Spartan too though

A complaint can be a point. The point can be to get attention drawn to an issue.

And in this case it probably is.

Because god of war is a shit franchise

But he has "Spartan rage"

LMAO IS THAT A WITCHER MOD?

>the kid is Odin

It's the first time GoW has looked like something interesting since the PS2

Wait, how do you know it's the same Kratos? Is it a fact?

What's the issue with a skill tree? Shadow of mordor had a skill tree and the MC in that game had tons of experience prior to the events of that game. This is just stupid knit picking bullshit.

The fucking kid gained archery skill not Kratos, did you not notice he was playing as the kid when he shot the bow?

And he has that omega symbol on his belt.

Could be a different god of war.

This is taking place in Norse Mythology. Maybe a god killer is cyclical thing or this is a reboot.

Either way, it makes sense to move away from Greek mythology and the greek powered weapons and such because Kratos killed everything in that universe. They would have to get into other concepts like Cronos (the pirmeval concept of time) Chaos, and shit like that.

>they're gonna pull a mgs2

Because it's a game and it's fun to level up m8.

The kid might have his own skill tree

you will play as the kid who get older and buff

This is in every thread and every time someone has to point out that he has the same scars Kratos got in-game.

is this the new PC gameplay?

It is pretty obvious. He has "Spartan rage" His wrists where the chains were have burns and are bandaged.
And his stomach still has that huge scar(kinda vanished over the years. but its still noticeable)

This. Ascension was the stalest shit.

now this idea I like

we witcher now

>mashing square is actually punished
I might be interested in this series for the first time in years if they lay low on the escort after the opening segment.

Obviously you're not a God anymore, you fucking retard. And there has to be an upgrade mechanic in GoW in some shape or form.

GoW has always been a casual action game. Why the fuck are you sperging out?

>there was nothing wrong with the og gameplay why do this
Yes there was. Did you see how CV LoS was savaged as a "God of War clone"? By now that style of gameplay is "out." So if they want to continue they series they have to use ebin new cinememe uncharted/skyrimjob/wombraider literpg elements

Kratos dies early in the game.

You play as the kid all grown up.

The final chapter reveals that Kratos is alive and you have to kill him as did Zeus killed Cronus and Kratos killed Zeus

Then it can't be The Kratos of Us with you and the kid prancing around with an AI that is ignored by every enemy though

This fucking sucks, though. I miss the Anger-Issues-Guy and "muh vengeance" while slashing everything and killing gods style.

Because Tomb Raider sold a billion copies.

This shit is so predictable that it's awful. Fuck, humans can't come up with anything new or interesting.

>There is nothing wrong with the OG gameplay

There was a lot wrong with GoW's gameplay. The combos required to kill shit mid-late game were too long while they offered little actual threat to Kratos making combat take too long after a certain point for no real reason (I could understand if common enemies were a challenge but once you understood their attack patterns, which the game introduced to you every time you fought a new enemy in a one-on-one event) it was just redundant.

Then you had the god damned push block puzzels, the constant need to spin switches and levers, the slow climb on walls and ceilings with annoying but easily defeated enemies.

GoW had excellent boss fights and glorious finisher kills, but the core game was button mashsy, block pushy, enemy spamming mess of a title when I look back on it now. I played them all, but the more I think about the more I realize they could have made the games a lot better and I rarely wanted to pick them back up.

>GoW has always been a shit action game.

There we go, much better.

kratos is the boy.
its godly timey wimey i hate my father but really i just hate myself
kratos dies

Final blow is with mom's dagger
Kratos whispers "you're ready"

and thus Odin

>Sup Forums literally spoiling a game that there's only one trailer out for

wow the skyrim remaster is looking good

Why do games like these (3rd person action) feel the need to put in (often very shallow) RPG mechanics? There probably aren't any choices either because you'll unlock everything at the end anyway, so why don't they just give you certain skills/weapons as the game progress instead of pouring 500 "Archery knowledge" into a skill tree. Of the top of my head Tomb raider, Shadow of mordor, Horizon zero dawn, Assassins creed and now this all seem to do it.

how about a Naked man on a black beach with dead crab, fish and whales. He's partially handcuffed and there's a baby and 5 floating entities.

This is mostly accurate

>Implying all of that shit isn't for the kid
>Play through half of the game as Kratos and see random skills and experience get leveled up
>Kratos dies
>Take over as kid

>He's skilled as fuck

Because people don't know how to design games

>mfw JUSTKratos just look like Greybeards from Skyrim
>Dragon
>Skill level by using
>Skinning and crafting
It is the TES we are waiting for ?

Because the sense of progressions that RPGs offer is second to none.

Games that give you everything up front are neat and all, but from developer standpoint, knowing exactly what the character has access too allows you to make better honed levels as well.

>Kratos goes back in time and adopts himself
mite b cool

This isn't fucking Bayonetta

So many possibilites of a great action godfather-of -war game. And we take control of the kid.

That would be such a fucking waste of potential.

You think gameplay is why Tomb Raider flopped?

But the kid will take what he learned from Uncle Kratos and then he will grow up to be a good berserk.

did you just spoil Bayonetta?

haven't played it

>Tomb Raider
>flopped

>I'm SOOOO sorry
>Your deer is getting away
>Yessir
What kind of a retard wrote this? This is not the way vikings, or whatever they are, talk.

Kid is going to die early by one of those norse mythology monsters.
Kratos gonna get mad again, fucking telegraphed from a mile away.

They've had the same fucking gameplay for 6 or so games just let it go and let them try something new.

Its just a video game son

Uuuuuh.

No.

Did you seriously not get that it was the kid who gained the experience and you obviously play as the grown up kid later in the game because Kratos dies or fucks off somewhere?

How do you know? Next you'll be saying that Rome wasn't an evil dictator country and Germany isn't the rightful land of the African peoples!

You would know, huh, time traveler user?

God of War wasn't in Greek so why should this be in Danish?

>while they offered little actual threat to Kratos
Play above normal. I'm not being smug. The games are just more fun and dynamic when you have to pay attention to what you're doing.

I never minded the puzzle elements, either. Some puzzles were better than others, but that's also true of Zelda. More power to you though.

I'm listening, Mr Hideo or Kojima.....

Read any of these threads, either that kid will be the playable character after this tutorial, or it will be TLoU with you playing both of them. Which could be great in a GoW setting, muh every game in a series must be the same.

Seriously screencap any post claiming this so you can throw it in our faces if you think it won't happen.

This.
I beat the game in all modes and its harder than just challenging. That faggot is just a normalfag.

>stupid knit picking bullshit

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume it's not so much so for the user who raised the issue.

Kratos isn't a Viking.

I am a Viking and my wife's son says things like that all the time.

>GoW became Skyrim
>RE7 became PT
>Prey became Dead Space
>Halo became Stacraft(again)
>Ghost Recon became GTAO
>COD became Star Citizen

...

Still saying yessir is dumb

It's fantasy ancient Greece, not US military

Does Sup Forums get filmed with Sup Forums tards during e3?

All these bottomfeeders and invalids defending this trash make me wanna kill myself

go ahead, user

You forgot
>Sup Forums became babbys

you're just saying that so I won't think I got spoiled

I agree. They shouldn't speak English either, and communicate solely in Old Norse. You think they had modern English back in 803 AD Norway?

Not really. It conveys respect and acknowledgement of authority. It was once (and still is, in some places) common for "Yes, sir"s and such to be spoken to parents or any adult.

This board is fucking ridiculous.

I can assure you that at no point does Bayonetta go back in time.

Junko is not the mastermind

So the kid is Siegfried who will kill the dragon after receiving guidance from Kratos.

it represents the kid learning from kratos throughout the game. not kratos himself

you killed all the gods in the 3rd game so you fell off the cliff landed in the water than decades past as you floated through water/time and end up with amnesia in nordic folklore land and dont remember anything you did but you live you life until they take you son, who is now a god or demigod and now you must kill all the gods of nordic myth

Kratos is Odin
The kid is Loki and you'll have to kill him in the sequel

>all the gods
Not Aphrodite.

>This board is fucking ridiculous.
It's not the boards - it's the mouth breathers who fill.

Never EVER forget that we needed two additional video game related boards to have place where people could freely discuss video games they were interested in.

>mash square to gain experience to do more damage mashing square

Maybe the skill points are for training his son.

>6
Have you been reading Marvel comics again

Loki is Odin's blood brother, not his son

>the kid is the final boss

>But that sword is for monsters!

But he could be Siegfried
