He is an expert, played the first that released like 15 years ago, watched some lets plays of some others cause kratos voice is HOT and now its concerned about GOW changing the formula, what agenda is he doing ? He is just a concerned and totaly unbias individual concerned about the gaming industry, that is why he posted this totally unbias opinion of this game series he clearly proved that he loved, you know. This 94 or 95 metacritic game have the potential to destroy gaming industry forever you know.

I've been answering your questions for the last few replies in a straight forward manner and I can't make them anymore palatable.

But I have yet to get an answer to my question: when did TGB say GoW games were hack-n-slash for kids?

He said in the God of War 4 rant that God of War games were hack and slash games enjoyed by kids which is an underhanded way of saying that its not on the quality of other hack and slash games that are enjoyed by adults. He's completely wrong about it.

Can you give me the minute and second in which TGB says this?

No, I'm not watching the video again just to find out a time stamp.

You didn't reply to my answers though. In what way is GOW like TLOU? I've played GOW and TLOU and they play nothing alike.

Not everyone is going to like even that which is universally acclaimed. I thought his reasoning for why he doesn't think the new GOW is worth all the praise it has been getting was pretty good, all things considering. I don't agree with him, but I do see where he's coming from.

I have gone through the video again and I did not find what you claim was there.

GoW4 is like TLoU in the following ways: over-the-shoulder camera, kid companion, emphasis on story, and walking sections. Of course considering one has guns and the other does not, they don't play exactly alike. Encounters up-close also look similar. Ellie also sometimes climbed up to places to fetch ladders and from what I understand, the kid in GoW4 is sent up to higher places to help Kratos climb up. Also like TLoU, I believe there's an emphasis on the relationship between Kratos and the kid.

GoW has a story, so it is like TLOU. And of course, because it has a story, the emphasis is on that. 

Such a strong argument.

It's distancing from it's roots because the game would've been boring.

Perhaps to you.

No one needed a 5th god of war game just like the others, this isn't MS first party. 

It didn't need to be like the previous games. It could have improved upon its old formula but instead Kratos can't jump any more despite Cory's acknowledgement that such a thing would have been fun. It wouldn't make story sense according to him.

Combat-wise, God of War Ascension was much better than GOW3. But it didn't review well because it was the same old stuff but less epic cause GOW3 was the big finale. 

If they made a new god of war it would have to be different or they'd just be squeezing the life out of the series, especially after how ascension went down.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

God of War and TLOU are the only games to have over the shoulder camera and a story. I see. Interesting that NO other game EVER made had an over the shoulder camera and a story.

The enemy spawns aren't similar at all. You're running out of straws to grasp.

Yes TLOU invented the over the shoulder camera and was the first game with a story.

God of War: Ascension had the worst combat in the series. No alternate weapons, and we got elemental powers that were similar. God of War 3 had weapon switching among 4 weapons all having different moves and switch up among these weapons in the middle of a combo to make endless juggles.

Strong argument for what? What are you talking about?

Maybe? I don't know, honestly. It's a hypothetical. I think an exploration of Norse mythology might have helped without having to change the formula.

Not even remotely close to what I said.

That's not true at all. Where are you getting this information from?

Who said anything about enemy spawns?



Eric2048 on 02 May 2018

My whole problem with this thread is that you present a problem but fail to come up with a good solution to it. sticking to the old formula is not going to work and you know it. Also i find it very hard to take your opinion seriously considering your experience with this franchise (GOW1) and then you think you and come here and say the formula isn't aging. how would you even know if you haven't played the games yourself?
