How was it supposed to fail? They made it for these kinds of websites, if anything it's going as planned.
Mason Cruz
It's God of War, it will have good reviews even if it's just Ryse 2.0.
Grayson Bailey
>muh brand >muh corporate bonus Didn't help Kirby, lmao
Gabriel Fisher
Makes sense, it looks like a fun game I look forward to playing it
Samuel Sullivan
We made mass effect Andromeda fail by shitposting
Leo Campbell
Except unlike ryse this will be a commercial and critical success. gg ms
Nolan Lewis
All Kirby games are shit made for toddlers that are at most 6 hours long though.
Logan Sanders
If Horizon can get good reviews then I believe reviewers will put 100s and 90s to whatever AAA shit unless it's impossible to not notice the flaws like ME Andromeda.
Robert Brown
Predict the Metacritic score Sup Forums
Isaiah Richardson
I'm thinking God of War is back on the table for me.
Yeh but gow will score well without the sjw shoehorned diversity like the bbc troy show where achilles is fucking black. At least this represents ancient scandinavian people with relative accuracy.
Lucas Butler
88
Hudson Watson
I can't even think of another Nintendo game that is like that, so no, sorry.
Austin Gonzalez
91.
Xavier Wood
The same as any AC, COD, Battlefield, Far Cry, or Sony exclusive that isn't a literal interactive movie like Detroit or Until Dawn.
Jaxson Wright
this or because you know.. maybe the game just sucked
Dominic Ortiz
>Ryse 2.0 I don't recall being able to throw your weapon and use magic in Ryse. I don't recall being able to attack multiple enemies with your individual attacks and i don't recall Ryse having any dynamic combat whatsoever.

Tyler Morgan
>game tries its best to copy tlou >retarded americlaps love it
>Wow, I am so suprised the same people who gave The Last of Us perfect scores rate the new God of War that draws heavily from that game is given good scores I am just interested in the story, the gameplay looks like fucking thrash and there is a crafting and a stats system for some fucking reason
Hudson Collins
what is this Dark Souls shit

What happens when you die then? Also this sentence sounds like it was written by that fag marty "if you don't like get out youre just racist" sliva
>fast, fluid, brilliant You fucking slide around and auto-lock onto enemies to execute combos. Between this and the lack of a jump button, I'm nervous.
Give me some cool looking bosses and I'll feel better because I'm not feeling this at all currently.
Grayson White
No shit reviewers will give it positive scores. It's a movie game, they love movie games, and the wife's son soyness of it is always a plus to them. Is this supposed to prove something? Reviewers are trash.
>it's pretty much Ryse but adding these couple of things >IT'S NOT RYSE!!!! k
Levi King
>three copies of God of War please.
Brody Murphy
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting
Nathaniel Brown
I think there's no other game that represents the embodiment of soyboys like the new God of War.
Dominic Thompson
>Add sunbeams >Reviewers praise the game's graphics >Make Uncharted/The Last of Us/generic third person escort mission game >Don't even care about gameplay or the game being part of a series
>There are no cutscenes, no load screens, no camera cuts, no fades to black.
big if true
Parker Cox
all that PG13 orange and yellow gooo fuck this gay shit
Jonathan Johnson
This.
It even has these epic QTE takedowns from Ryse.
Michael Miller
Nah. There is more to the god of war combat than ryse. Ryse doesn't even have hitbox mechanics for attacks.
Brayden Roberts
Why have they changed God of War from a fun 3rd person hack and slash with Greek Mythology, platforming and puzzles into an over the shoulder Rise/Dark Souls hybrid with emphasis on linear cinematic corridors and gameplay?
Aaron Rivera
Told you faggots that it was going to be journalite bait.
Robert Richardson
The graphics aren't even good, it still looks worse than Ryse which is 5 years old soon.
Benjamin Diaz
It's just the elevators from ME. But without fun party banter.
Levi Taylor
>action hack and slash turned into an over the shoulder cinematic babysitting game with Last of Us combat
Looked like fun until the finisher. Absolute disgrace that you literally take off half its health just with a finisher while the enemy is completely helpless.
Samuel Robinson
It's a safe cinematic game that copies what made tlou so successful, of course they would love it.
Jayden Sanders
Everyone expected it.
Alexander Rodriguez
These are people that gave titles like skyrim, last of us, and fallout 4 high marks. Why should I trust their judgment?
Angel Murphy
>One copy of God of War Collector's Edition, please.
Nothing I've seen has been interesting, granted I've mostly seen the highlight reel of triggered Sup Forums but the one official combat trailer I saw with boy bitching all the time and Kratos fighting generic shadow mooks in a crevice also looked real bad.
I never cared much about GoW but I think if they are hellbent on going the TLoU route there would be something to explore because Kratos is an irredeemable asshole and a mass murderer and everyone should treat him accordingly, with the only exception being that Kratos isn't as angry anymore and the rampaging has gotten old to him. Too bad I haven't seen any of that, I get that the kid might not see his father as a monster but everyone else should.
James Russell
yeah, that's mostly at their end. This would sell and be forgotten about in about 2 months.
Jose Gutierrez
>R1 to attack, R2 to heavy attack
What in the fuck is even happening.
Kayden Smith
Gaming journalists are desperate to have their medium taken seriously, so of course they'll praise the hackneyed "old guy traveling with a child" trope that western devs are obsessed with lately.
Grayson Rogers
>he doesn't know what 2.0 means
Daniel Wright
>97% like ratio on sony's official youtube channel
I am unironically interested to see the character of Kratos be older and done with the shit he's always going through.
Like John McClean and Live Free or Die Hard. I expect the game to be bad, but the character to be good.
Eli Gomez
But Horizon was so boring it made me sell my PS Pro.
Brody Fisher
I don't recall Ryse having good combat either. The two seem like non identical twins when you factor that in.
Joshua Edwards
>the entire game unfolds in a single, unbroken shot. There are no cutscenes, no load screens, no camera cuts, no fades to black. Sup Forums BTFO
Aaron Sanchez
Horizon was forgotten about by everyone after a week.
Robert Ross
>fast, fluid, and brilliant combat system >mash a single button while you automatically slide across the floor from enemy to enemy
Nicholas Campbell
With this logic it is also Super Mario Odyssey 2.0
Blake Hill
>"all sony exclusives" >what is gravity rush >what is bloodborne >what is tearaway >what is littlebigplanet >what is knack Keep crying, buddy, Sony always wins.
Lucas Howard
All the gameplay they've shown has been full of "heeeey player imma take control away for 5 seconds to show you this reaaaaallly cool animation k?" When critics say "no cutscenes," they just mean that there are none in the "traditional" sense.
Bentley Bell
It sold 7.5 million copies in a week?
Ryan Adams
>Sup Forums couldn't stop BOTW >Sup Forums couldn't stop Odyssey >Sup Forums couldn't stop Horizon >Sup Forums couldn't stop SotC Ps4 >Now Sup Forums will fail to sink God of War How does it feel having no power and being wrong about everything? The game's gonna release to thunderous praise and you'll all go quiet and return to skulking around for your next TORtanic only to fail an untold number of times all over again lmfao
Carter Taylor
Friendly reminder that Sup Forums is ALWAYS wrong and you should always do the opposite of what they say. No exceptions.
Jace Russell
NuKratos is a self insert fedoratipping soyboy now.
