Forums - Gaming Discussion - God of War is probably the best game of this generation so far

Fuck me, son.

To me the best game of the generation is Kingdom Come: Deliverance (at least until Mount & Blade: Bannerlord comes out), but that's a multiplat. Out of exlusives God ov War is easily the best.

And those graphics. They are the ungodly graphics.

incorrect, kingdom meta is only 76 for pc not game of anything

Opinions, man. There's no such thing as an incorrect opinion unless you like Other M.

O/T: I probably won't get around to playing the game until the summer, but I have trouble imagining it being a GotG for me from the gameplay I've seen thus far. Mechanically, it seems just as shallow as past God of War games, and the constant interruption of gameplay with scripted QTEs and dialogues seems like an excellent way to kill replay value, which is kind of the lifeblood of action games.

I think it's probably the best exclusive PS4 game and the best in its series so far. It's a good reason to pick up a PS4.

Your first sentence if confusing. Nowhere did I make that point. I only said you can weigh them.

So you're actually saying that it was sarcastic because of some dumb :P at the end, yet you reiterate the sales point again. So that part sadly was serious I take it from your comment (sales measuring if a game is better). So you take my parameter, and add your terrible parameter as a reflecting of it. I mean, if I were to post a gif right now, it would be facepalming Picard, but I myself don't want to come off as some sarcastic
user who got caught making a terrible point.

Well then gif it is. And the point that I made was, I prefer Mario over Zelda, so for me GoW is up there with Mario, He pointed out it was opinion , and no where in my reply I refuted his claim with a serious response. But you on the other hand jumped in like a white knight took my response out context ignoring rest of the reply coz it didnt meet your high standard of queens sarcasm and emoji's.  

The sales thing was to piss you off, coz there was no argument in the first place, but you made it into one.. and again 9 out of 10 times a better game will always sell more than an inferior game that's how market works and just because your beloved series isn't held on the same pedestal by everyone else as you, doesn't mean that they are wrong. 

And also you said "A game can only be better than another if you played them both, and then weigh them against each other"

 I have played both Mario and Zelda and currently i am half way through GoW, so by your metric i should be well verse to judge which game is better. And your response was kind of Ironic considering you responded to someone else by saying It was said in jest (I will get GoW eventually of course), but I highly doubt that I will rate it higher than BotW, because I am a huge Zelda fan and BotW is just that good. 

well Ironic shouldn't be the word, its other word which starts with "H" but moderators are watching so, I have to play nice :) (its a smiley face)

First of all, I think you need to look up what White Knight is. Second, I only replied to your suggestion that Mario was better because the sales reflected that. That was a ridiculous claim, hence the comment. But cleverly you passed it off as sarcasm.

I mean, I was heavily thinking here that you were going the "was just trolling bruh" route, yet you still persist this notion sales making a better game. So now that you established that that is what you believe, allow me to rip it apart. Example: So we have two games, one is shite (let's say No Man's Sky) but sold great, and one is great (let's say Metroid Samus Returns) and sold no way near. We have determined that sales determine jack. We can go on and on, comparing sales data of critically acclaimed and panned games and see why that's wrong. There is no indicator that sales determine the better game, that is a preposterous thing to propose. This leads into the next thing.

Exactly why I said it! and why your sales angle is irrelevant, yet you persisted. So now you have actually taken my metric to heart, which is fine since you played both and made your opinion. But you somehow try to use my own comment against me when nowhere did I make a definitive conclusion that the game I have yet to play is already inferior. You seem to miss the part where I said I doubt it. I could be blown away by GoW. Who knows. Lmao.

"well Ironic shouldn't be the word, its other word which starts with "H" but moderators are watching so, I have to play nice :) (its a smiley face)"

If you were going to say hypocrite then that would another mistaken thing said by you in this thread. Oh ehm, I guess.



I really don't get why some one would come into thread just to shit post. posting about zelda being better when he hasn't even played the game yet is just ridiculous shit posting.



Put 45 hours into it so far. Gonna keep going for the platinum.

That said, I don't think it is stand out the best title of the gen so far. It is very good. Easily in the top three new games I have played this gen. One really nice thing about it, is I have played this entire time, including watching some PS Vue, MLB.TV, and Youtube (via the Browser), and the game has not crashed out once. That is an extreamly commendable achievement, as I can't remember a game that accomplished this on PS4/XBO/NSW.

Right now, Horizon: Zero Dawn is still my favorite game of the generation. Number 2 is a toss up between God of War and Mario Odyessy. Followed by Sunset Overdrive and then Uncharted 4.

I will say this for GOW. Just like Horizon, it takes a genere that for me has always had short comings, and finally delivers a solid product in every aspect. The Gameplay, Graphics, Sound, Story, and UI are all top notch, and should be an example for future Hack n' Slash and WRPG titles.

Looking forward, they have put GOW in an awesome position. I can see the next game taking it up another level, and that would put them in their own exclusive territory. This game falls just short, of my "Greatest of All Time", but it has definitly layed the fondation for what could end up as my "Greatest Trilogy of All Time".

Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

I haven't played the game yet, so i won't judge. From what I've seen, it looks great though!

The thing is, there's many other games this gen that could be considered the best. Games like Mario Odyssey, BotW, Horizon, Nier, and Bloodborne should definitely not be overlooked (although I haven't played Horizon yet)! Currently, my game of the generation so far is Mario Odyssey. That game is too dang good!



   

Up until now it was horizon for me but so far this is beating it. Played about 5 hours tonight. Absolutely blown away.



The only "minus" I was able to give to the game in the first hours was that the fights were a bit repetitive, with few enemies type and few moves.

Obviously, after several hours in the game (8 maybe?), there are now lots of different enemies, I unlocked quite a lot of new moves, and fights are diverse, fun and can even be beautiful.

I love when I sprint to an enemy and give it a big slash of the axe throwing it back, and meanwhile the kid jump above Kratos using his back as a ramp and shoot the enemy. So fluid and awesome looking.



I hope when I get it, it lives up to these expectations. Given I trust VersusEvil opinion on it.



 

I like first two games, the rest felt unnecessary but still good, but I am indifferent to this new one.
