I can't take this bros. I'm a huge God of War fan, but what the FUCK is Santa Monica Studios thinking?!?! This isn't a shitpost or flamewar. No false-flagging here either. I'm an actual genuinely upset and concerned fan of the franchise. Please help me rationalize these fucking retarded decisions they're making.
the game is not for god of war fans it's for the last of us fans
Ian Murphy
I'm not sure why are you complaining about it The old God of War formula was good for mid 2000s but they released 5 games with the same exact mechanic A third person game without too many QTE will be a good thing
Jace Brooks
Buy acsencion
Lincoln Collins
this. fpbp.
Lucas Flores
>nioh has no jump button >nioh has over the shoulder third person gameplay
"GOTY"
Jonathan Lewis
When is it coming out?
Thomas Martinez
GODS
Jose Lopez
Jesus, since when did Kratos become the God of Soy?
Adrian Lee
Once the game was over-the-shoulder, you should have known it'd be shit and not meant for fans of the series.
It's dead, Jim.
Aiden Harris
But it looks like TLoU now! People liked that game a lot!
Julian Harris
>bring Kratos back only to rape him further >”B-B-BUT ITS MATURE AND DIFFERENT AND SHOWS GAMES CAN BE ART”
I’m glad the pre-orders are low for this shit, it isn’t even going to have the sex minigame. DMCV will show these cucked westerners how it’s done.
Landon Cook
>it isn’t even going to have the sex minigame. When did everything go so fucking wrong?
Lincoln Torres
The franchise got stale and some genius decided to turn it into a TLOU clone. Probably will get good grades from journalists but will be ignored by most gamers. Just play the original games user. This franchise is dead
John Price
This is garbage bring back the sex minigames
Blake Gonzalez
F p b p
Grayson Bell
You me DMC mobile edition? Yeah, that'll really show them
Joseph Long
Someone photoshop his eyes soo he can look at the câmera.
Joseph Allen
The old God of War ended with Ghost of Sparta and got buried with Ascension. I am interested to see what Santa Monica will do to make the new direction of GoW interesting. This is Santa Monica we are talking about. And we all know what happens to once good series when they try to pander to the nostalgiafags with Halo 4 and Gears of War 4.
Ryder Howard
pretty sure the dev or shawn layden outright said at PSX that the game is moving on from its roots and becoming more cinematic
Benjamin Davis
There's no jump button in Bloodborne, if it works like that I don't have a problem with it. Unfortunately it's probably for this reason instead
Jackson Anderson
Yea GoW4 also flopped
Camden Howard
MY WIFE'S SON GODS GODSSSSSSS
my wife's son of War, 4.5/5 ign too much toxic masculinity, why can't Kratos be a black woman?
Nolan Perez
Haven't played a single God of War game, but have seen the gameplay of the old and the new stuff.
Does Halo 4 - 5 Duke Nukem Forever, Command and Conquer 4, ring any bells? Titles which all massively changed their gameplay formula, with a not too pretty result.
New GoW doesn't look all too similar to previous game so I'm going out on thin ice saying it's a drastic change in the likes of previously mentioned games. History says it doesn't bode well for the series.
Joseph Howard
Dark souls didn't have jump either
Xavier Hill
Good, maybe no more stupid jumping puzzles or mashing jump to scale walls quicker. Any attack combo that used a 'jump' was part of its launcher hit anyways.
Aaron Wilson
Resident evil 4 and 7 say hi
Ryan Reyes
RE4 literally changed the formula retard
Jace Adams
Nooo Jumps!
Blake Anderson
Mass Effect Andromeda all over again.
Nathaniel Nelson
>Dark Souls had no jump This fuckin guy.
Isaac Cruz
>reduce the gameplay of the game in exchange of stupid story i don't even like GoW that much but holy fuck that i feel bad for any GoWfag
Nolan Brown
oh baby girl
Luis Collins
The difference being that the Souls-series is established with that type of gameplay in mind. It's always been that way.
God of War (the series) is a hack and slash action-platformer that is suddenly ditching its iconic gameplay in favor of over-the-shoulder TLOU shit for no reason other than MUH CINEMATIC REALISM & TIGHT, PERSONAL NARRATIVE. It'd be like XCOM turning into a FPS.
Matthew Sanchez
Damn...
Cameron Edwards
>tfw the GOW costumer base grew up and now le mature and dad setting is needed
I hate it, just end it forever
Zachary Foster
DMCV was stated for E3 2018, everyone who thought it would show at PSX or TGA were morons. It will most likely release in January 2019 given Capcom’s track record.
Elijah Lopez
Nailed it. This is DmC all over again.
Jordan Nguyen
the kid that he's around with already kinda pisses me off
Eli Morris
The difference is that 4 set trends, while 7 followed trends
Christopher Sullivan
DmC is still fundamentally a DMC game though. just simplified
Ryder Gonzalez
Resident Evil 6? Few games pulled it off compared to many others, GoW chasing another audience will surely succeed, Halo 4 topped the charts and got all the CoD Players over, right?
Logan Taylor
Dude, this was the Last of Us: God of War edition from the moment it was revealed, why are you surprised? You should have disavowed it immediately.
Noah Peterson
This is exactly what I said when I saw the first trailer, back when I thought people were excited for it. was a sure sign that Sony want every game to be the Last of Us now.
Xavier Green
It seems Sonic Unleashed will be better God of War game than the newest GoW.
Brayden Gonzalez
Nah, DmC was closer to Ascension.
Angel Ramirez
>DMCV was stated for E3 2018 >still believing this
I will be in those threads at E3 but I won't be gloating I'll simply be watching the suicides. I really want to be wrong but I have no hope left
Cameron Mitchell
...
Brody Mitchell
>meanwhile BoTW actually has a jump button and Link is right handed We've all stepped through the Twilight Zone
Asher Morales
Sonic Unleashed is aging like a fine wine, isn't it?
Carson Flores
>switch perspectives from gigantic, action-packed set pieces to shitty forced over-the-shoulder third-person gameplay
Aiden Russell
The year is 20XX. Every Sony exclusive has turned into a reskin of Uncharted.
Connor Lewis
Well perhaps not in genre change but certainly in intent. DmC was created for a new audience while alienating the old one and that's what God of Wife's Son feels like.
Christian Cook
It has marketing and pretty graphics behind it. Casuals and sony negros will lap this shit up. It can still be good though, we won't know until release(I enjoyed the gow3, I even got the remaster, fuck the puzzles though, they break the flow and only are there to waste your time, same with the uncharted fucking retarded slow jog with exposition sections)/
Zachary Young
I heard that sony didnt want to fund gow that played like classics but wanted something generic like tlou style
Tyler Harris
>in before it ends up being open world
Luke Ramirez
the platforming always filler and you can't prove me wrong. God of War 2 is my favorite game in the series, btw it's made by Cory Barlog. It will be 10x the game TLOU ever was
Josiah Flores
The removal of jumping possibly means no airborne combos and attacks, doesn't it? So it limits the gameplay and cuhrazzyyy or however you call it. Given the camera is shit for action battles and the norse mythology overused as fuck at this point (why not byzantium, egypt, fucking whatever anything is better than that boring crap)
Nathaniel Ramirez
Who gives a shit? You know how many hardcore (even though GoW was on the most casual end of the spectrum) action games are still around? Fucking nothing. And GoW always had great production values, even if the gameplay was on the simpler side, you got a fucking spectacle of images and sound.
You know what we have plenty of? Third person, over the should slow paced action games. So you're switching up the formula to turn GoW from something (comparatively) unique into something generic
Connor Flores
WHERE'S MY WIFE'S SOY
Charles Price
this was confirmed a long time ago. he enters an area in a trailer and it says "______ discovered"
Jeremiah Lopez
GoW series had jumps baked into some of its attack combos, and you had the ability to chain enemies in the air and slam them to the ground. You won't need a dedicated jump button.
Brandon Gonzalez
how many of you retards even played the other games
Josiah Reed
It would have aged a hell of a lot better if the level progression wasn't tied to collecting sun and moon medals and a shitty hub world. Having a different fight theme would have been a nice change, too. youtube.com/watch?v=zlNa7RQju7Y&t=
Angel Adams
it was *actually* confirmed not open world by the game director himself, so you can stop worrying
Justin Rivera
...
Gavin Cox
I can prove you wrong - platforming is important to make breaks in combat, otherwise the combat will become boring.
Austin Sullivan
>shitting on DmC's quality >unironically thinking God of War was worth preserving as it was
Cameron Gomez
come on asshole if you ever had a ps3 or ps2 you can't have missed the games. What kind of question is that?
Justin Sullivan
Real GOW would be too hard for the nu-reviewer to handle.
Angel Turner
*inhales* *soy*
Levi Lewis
This meme needs to die.
Carson Martinez
>he actually thinks people who owned a PS2 or PS3 didn't at some time play a GoW
WHEW
Ryan Cooper
that doesnt really restore any of my confidence or interest in the game, though. not being able to jump in an action game is just inexcusably stupid
Evan Roberts
It needed improvements, not a downgrade to an even more braindead type of game
Eli Jackson
He is the Goy of Soy
Elijah Ramirez
Great reading there, I like how you translated everything I said into a different form, and aimed it at me like I was saying the complete opposite of what you're saying.
Samuel White
*exhales* *BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP*
Jaxon Sanders
>shitty forced over-the-shoulder third-person gameplay This is what bothers me most.
Look I know the older GoW games weren't all that great anything. But at least they knew they were trying to be. And it wasn't some shitty last off us clone
Hunter Nelson
>shitting on DmC's quality
What part did you enjoy most? the bigger dick or the Shakespearian writing? Personally I enjoyed Kat's obsession with semen.
Tyler Sanders
kek saved
Andrew Ortiz
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS WHY NO SWITCH RELEASE
Kevin Harris
holy shit I forgot about the squirrel semen what the fuck is this game, man
Noah Rivera
I liked bigger dick most desu
Austin Bennett
WHERE
John Hughes
who's worrying? open world god of war could be pretty good
Carson Peterson
>everyone WILL ignore this Everyone complaining doesn't even own a ps4 or have any interest in the game, but just want to ant-market the game with shitposting.
Carson Diaz
Have they explained the game play a bit more. From the trailers and what little I've seen the combat seems eerily similar to Asura's Wrath with fighting through hordes of scrub enemies until getting to a more set piece enemy where instead of a defined health bar you have to wale on the boss until you fill up a meter that unleashes a cut-scene that moves you onto the next part of the story.
Gabriel Mitchell
You are one kind of idiot don't you?
I didn't even own a PS2/3 and complted all the other games, never crossed my mind to buy this TLoU crap
Christian Green
IS
Colton Harris
...
Ryder Lopez
What set pieces were there?
Jason Cooper
Nioh is also a new IP and not actually the sequel to something completely different.
Anthony Hernandez
Ignore what? It's still a change for the series, and what we've seen so far was a snorefest, having the same camera system as a better game means nothing
Cameron Carter
I just quoted the wrong person ;_;
Brody Campbell
Seriously the most cringey writing in game history:
>implying God of Wife's Son will be as good as God Hand
Charles Nelson
Fucking this. Fpbp
Oliver White
it was shit from trailer 1 when he lifelessly swung a tiny axe around with no combos or special moves in sight the devs have probably never played a cuhrayzee game let alone know how to make one it's going to get 10/10s from dumbass game reviewers because it's cinematic and has a deep storyline and everyone else will realize it's fucking stupid and has no gameplay and forget it in a year
