Honest thoughts about this upcoming game?

I'll probably buy it

A game that was a fast paced hack and slash reduced to a crawl while adding in an escort mission from begin to end.

GOOOODS

Ruined by western leftist values.

""""game""""

I would be happy with the perspective change if it was gonna be more like Dark Souls and less like TLOU

I'm a huge God of War fan (Ghost of Sparta is objectively the best one, fight me faggots). This game looks incredible. I like the series, but I'm fully willing to admit Kratos has 0 character. I'm glad they're finally giving him some.

over the shoulder cinematic experience

god of war is fucking dead

what's up with all of these dad simulators?
is it because millenials don't have one?

God of War was always from day 1 the cinematic experience for hack and slash games so if you ask me not much has actually changed in that regard. The older games were mash square to win trash with dumb AI so a more grounded approach where your weapons don't spin perfect 360 around your entire character and open up the possibility of having to actually think in combat seems like it could be more interesting than what the series was before. I don't know if they'll actually stick the landing, but I'm glad they're not just making the same old garbage the series has always been.

Preordered it and will probably enjoy it. I like story driven games. Ig I nejoyed tlou and uncharted games,theres no reason I wouldnt this. Also sucks that it releases so close to Yakuza 6, since im getting both day 1

>how to spot a shill

Pretty much.
>muh virtual babies
>muh fur babies
>muh food babies
Millenials fell for the overpopulation meme while shitskin shitholes still breed like rabbits.

Walk and talk to your wife's son game. You can't even jump!

I doubt I'll buy it unless they actually manage to do something really amazing subverting expectations (of it being TLoU lite with bad combat).

They need really arcane morality ripped straight from Edda instead of nu-male shit and the combat needs to do something memorable.

The surprise factor is really high, so Im excited.

What all of these dad simulators? There's like one or two.

they've shown nothing
so i expect nothing

85+MC and ill consider it.

The game looks awful. The change in camera from fixed overhead positions to over the shoulder, the slower paces combat, and change to open world... All of that and it's not God of War anymore to me.

His son is a qt

If you want to make a fantasy Dad simulator, that's fine. I think the idea is actually kinda interesting. I found The Last of Us pretty tedious because it's the same old "protect the vulnerable girl that's your daughter but also your love interest" trope, so tackling a male relationship actually requires some effort. Story wise that's interesting, but it is a fucking game at the end of the day, it needs more than a setting despite that normies say.

What I don't get is why it has to be God of War, why God of War has to become this, or why this has to replace a traditional God of War game.

I also get the impression that whilst the idea is new, it's not exactly creative. Nothing is more miserable than men who's lives suddenly become about nothing more than "being a dad" and they no longer permit themselves a scrap of their own personality - if you get a bunch of those making a game on that basis it could be creatively bankrupt.

I almost feel it could be a somewhat tragic escapist fantasist of parents wishing they could raise kids in a environment where men actually matter and where being a father means something more than just being a provider. A bunch of whipped men kowtowing to feminist agendas whilst unwittingly expressing what they actually desired deep down, through a "game" where a big bearded man in a forest teaches his plucky son how to hunt. That's what they really want.

Who knows, it could be really interesting, could be a forgettable and short visual novel that's unaware of how boring and uncreative it is.

Who knows could be good or bad. I just usually don't like escort mission games.

I just can’t get over how awful the camera operates during combat. Why is it where it is?

I got a ps2, how is GoW1 and 2?

GOOOOOOODS

WHERE

Why are western vidya box art so fucking bland?

IS

looks boring

I'm looking forward to it. I like father and son stories. I hope it's a decent one.

Here's what's going to happen when it gets closer to release. Just a little prognostication.

>hey guys like action games?
yeah
>like god of war???
It's okay
>what if we took God of war...
i'm listening...
>...and made it a story driven over the shoulder game closer in tone the last of us rather than the games it was ripping off 12 years ago! And this time Kratos has a beard and he's not angry!
*walks away*
>haha, bitter nerd fanboy, you didn't actually think we needed you, did you?
*plays dmc4*
>lol, these games aren't for you anyway. Have fun being bitter
Oh, did you say something?
>y-you alt right russian hacker! you rater this game poorly on meta critic didn't you?
*ignores*
>FUCK YOU!! YOU'RE INTENTIONALLY SABOTAGING OR GAME AND RUINING OUR COMPANY BECAUSE WE DARED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT!
*years later user plays it long after everyone involved has been fired*
Eh. It was okay.

maybe it's slowed down gameplay is to show that kratos has gotten older. still not buying or playing though.

LOL

>Take god of war
>Make it not god of war
>Criticism is replied with "we we're brave enough to do something new"
>But not brave enough to make their own IP

Pre-ordered, probable GOTY

Where is my wife's daughter?

GODS

I'm buying a Ps4 for it

I'm waiting for the response, if it's too much like the last of us, I'll pass, if not and is still like his if war, I'll get it.

God, that game was awful, that director did not give a fuck like ascension's director

>Killed his own family in his bloodrage
>Pandora is the only daughter-like person in his life
>Pandora sacrifices herself to give humanity a chance to rule without gods
>mfw that entire ending of GoW3

Kratos got cucked from the very start when he made a deal with the gods.

RDR2 will most likely take goty, unless Spider man lets you play as that black spiderman and then that will win becuz muh equality

Can you name them? I only know 2

I hate the "it's something new excuse" as if it automatically means it's a good thing, I'm not asking for a rehash either but if you're going to do everything new, why bother keep Kratos/name in it? why not just make it into a new ip and put gow to rest.
there's no shame in saying, this was originally going to be a gow game but it being so different, we decided to make it into a new ip, and bam you have a new hit if your game is good.
now instead they gave to find a way to figure out how to fit him into something new, and drop things to make it fit into this one.i won't even be surprised if they choose to just skip an explanation after the events of 3 and pretends the games never happened while still carrying the baggage, just magically write yourself out of that corner they wrote themselves in.

>protect the vulnerable girl that's your daughter but also your love interest
>protect
>love interest
nice bait
here's your (You)

I stopped reading after the "why not just make it into a new IP" but that was my point as well.

don't forget he had to let his daughter go in Chains of Olympus, kill his mom in ghost of Sparta and his brother died at the end.

hey man wasnt able to finish reading your post just dropping by to say you're a huge fag

It's literally like that, though.

They either keep the daughter relationship hidden or platonic, they never state it openly at the beginning unless it's Dead Rising, but that's not trying to be deep.

Very disappointed about all the changes. The TPS direction had me worried. I still think it might be a good game but I'm staying cautious. Definitely not getting it on launch.

Might be good, but I'm not sure whether that kid is going to be a nuisance or not. I'll probably wait for a sale regardless.

This game is designed for 30+ year olds who don't play video games and want a movie where they can experience a feeling of fatherhood.

Kratos is a Spartan turned God, that doesn't make sense, user.

It looks like a boring western action game with too much story. Would not buy for $5

>action game
You're giving it too much credit saying it will have action or is a game.

Fuck. Is that really the final cover art? Jesus Sony.

How sad is it in our society that we need virtual fatherhood simulators. How did we end up this fucked up?

Cinematic movie game

DMC is dead, God of War is dead, and Bayonetta will soon join these two. Where will I get my hack and slash now?

Dark Souls then? That's what I got from that one clip online. I want this to be hellish like the various God modes from previous titles. I'll probably end up getting it come April.

This. I really liked the first 3 games but don't understand how this is supposed to appeal to old fans. They literally changed everything, why would old fans care? It's not even the same series anymore.

In this instance I don't even mind that much. They've made seven damn games before this with only very minor differences between them. Although you're right they might as well have just made this a new franchise and replaced Kratos with someone else.
