looks pretty unique to me, the only comparisons i can make are dark souls meets last of us

Bamham with an axe

>looks pretty unique to me
What the fuck? This is the most generic "streamlined" shit I've seen in years.

soul'esque playstyle

Name 20 games with throwable axes that freeze people

Dark Soys

I'm pretty scared because it can only mean that new Devil May Cry might look like this.

looks exactly like the previous games but with an axe.

combining enemy stun with a melee that works as a returnable projectile is not some kind of innovative gameplay aspect

So name 20

>dark souls meets last of us
i want off this ride

Looks like a shitty god hand.

>we want the ubisoft souls audience
Fuck even lords of the fallen looks better

why can’t people just accept that this god of war isn’t like the previous line of games?

>We want the cinematic """""game"""" audience

so ps4 users?

man wtf are you talking about? this is nothing like darksouls

press x to win

because then what would everyone shitpost about?

Your right it's nothing like dark souls or last of us, it's an entirely new gameplay experience. It's actually it's own thing completely. day one.

>make kratos and the enemies attack twice as fast

>make the enemies not float in the air

that alone would make the combat so much better

>press a button
>and something awsome has to happen
That crowd.

I will never accept lazy brand exploitation. Just because everybody does it doesn't make it good. Either stay faithful to the franchise or make a new franchise, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

It's exactly like if Geralt could throw his sword

looks like it's trying to ape dark messiah

looks good but that has to be the "casual" difficulty setting they were talking about

>dark souls meets last of us
HELLA FR*CKIN EPIC!

>we're trying not to be dark souls so we took some dark souls but shoved the camera up Kraters' ass

Last of Us/Uncharted meets Dark Souls.

This is all I ever see.

Why are sonybros trying to force the idea that this is souls like? Get fucked, it looks like fucking dead rising, and that's a bad thing.

I don't get the hate. It looks alright.

And the earlier God Of War are good but nothing special.

It looks like HZD with a different model

actually it's the shitposters that are shouting "souls clone

God Hand of War

Dark Sector was awesome, don't lump in it with this God of Soy shit

Accessible, flashy, simple. Basically so that your average 90 IQ dudebro that plays these games can feel like they're doing something impressive without being challenged at the same time.

OH GOD THE WAIT IS KILLING ME

First time I've been excited for a GoW game, but my god those graphics, that setting, the lore, the open world, the soulsborne inspired combat, fucking optional bosses, everything I can ask for.

Who here /hype/?

I love it too, I still have a copy!
But the way Kratos is throwing that axe around reminds me so much of the glaive.

fun. why does this game make v foam at the mouth? explain without buzzwords or wojackfrogs

>What were they going for with this combat?
10/10 reviews from journalists who will call it the cinematic Dark Souls with an easy mode everyone has been waiting for.

It looks like budget Hellblade

Cinematic experience, is this the first video game you've seen?

its some of the deepest combat I've ever seen
position based, and weapon based, with different skills depending on if you have thrown your weapon or not, and an assist character you can call for combo extenders

What where they going for with that Field Of View?

If only the enemies weren't literally pinatas

People hate on the game alot already, but throwing the axe is fucking cool as shit. Tripping/stunning/pinning enemies inbetween just normal melee swings seems like a cool mechanic

Santa Monica realized anime combat is a thing of the past.

It looked okay but the particle effects and blood are really really lacking.

God Hand

This game needs a weapon wheel badly. The axe is gonna get boring after a few hours, like Viking Battle for Asgard game.

ESRB says you get the chains eventually. Bottom left looks like you can equip shit to the dpad

I'd be very surprised if you couldn't get Mjolnir after beating Thor. Even has the same throwing/retract mechanic
