First game was a good game, self contained, Kratos had some minimal character beyond a raging lunatic, the ending was a nice wrap up.

Then it became one of Sony's flagship series so more games had to be made to fuck up a perfectly self contained tale.

Can't believe the series is about to become another Last of Us clone.

It's okay but not as good as Devil May Cry

God of Wife's Son

In terms of average quality across the series: Bayonetta>GoW>DMC>NG

I look at games through the lens of the time

so god of war 1 considering it was a ps2 game was very good
by todays standards its a button mashy grind but it's in a cool setting

I don't think the games are too fun, but I'm looking forward to the new one because they seem to have modernized the combat

>Bayonetta>GoW>DMC>NG

- Bayonetta: Two solid great games.

- God of War: Solid numbered titles, one good PSP game, average PSP and last PS3 game.

- Devil May Cry: Good debut, atrocious sequel, amazing 3rd and 4th games, pseudo-reboot that became spin-off hit the rock bottom.

- Ninja Gaiden: Great debut, Flawless expansion, Good sequel, average updated re-releases, disgraceful third game, coating a shit with good re-release, horrendous spin-off.

Your list isn't so bad actually.

God of War 1 comes out after Ninja Gaiden Black and DMC3

>they seem to have modernized the combat
Your basis for this is? Literally about it has been shown, but they did take their sweet time showing God of War is now fucking the Last of Us.

1 and 2 are good but casual action games. Never played the others except a little bit of 3 and it seemed stupid.

I think it's an overall good series. I haven't finished Ghost of Sparta and never played Ascension, but the gameplay was always very solid and had good platforming and puzzles. I don't have a PS4 but if I did I don't know if I'd buy the new God of War.

the only similarity between the two is the camera angle, and it's a good thing
that top down angle it used to have limits the options for what you can do combat wise because there is no field depth or height being factored into anything
Putting the camera down on your level makes big enemies actually huge, and gives you less view of the battle field requiring you to move around to keep track of enemies

It's good. When all shitposters are asleep you see nice GoW threads. People for some autistic reason want to shitpost about it not being DMC, which isn't fair because not all action games need to be DMC clones. GoW had much better puzzles, great boss fights and insanely good level design. GoW was never made to be combo stuff although you can totally do combos, it was about being a gorey and brutal game and it was fine as that.

Oh my god, fucking no. They just copied the last of us and it's shit. Fuck the new god of war youtube.com/watch?v=tY6vIDCK7iQ

they didn't

What games are Last of Us clones?

It is literally "Press Square Square Triangle to win" the game

What the fuck, the area spread camera for the previous games were fine, it didn't impede you at nothing, how fucking bad must you be at simple 2 button attack game to think that was a flaw?

Devil May Cry is literally "press triangle triangle triangle triangle to win" the game.

And NG is "Izuna Drop to win" the game

Well that's not fair, Max Payne is press right trigger to win.

Katamari is literally "left analog stick right analog stick" to win

This right here.

GoW1 is a fantastic DMC inspired standalone, and it should've stopped there. I say this as somebody who thinks GoW2 is great.

God of War should never have been franchised, at least not this way with Kratos.

God of War 2 started off strong and ended with a wet fart.
>that golden colossus fight in Rhodes
>Typhon's lair
> the Steeds of time

We went from that to a QTE final boss with a cliffhanger cutscene ending. The first game aged a lot worse but had the only good ending in this whole series.

>simple 2 button attack game
that's the problem. With a top down camera that's about as complex as combat can get
a lower camera means meaningful tactical combos, not just combos for the sake of having a cool animation

Solid series with great production, if you count the PSP and trilogy titles. God of War was always about spectacle and every game was a spectacle.

What bothers me about the new God of War is it lacks everything that made the series what it was.
