I was done with the series (didn't buy Ascension) and not at all excited about it when it was announced at E3 however many years ago.

The new direction made me interested, though, and I'm playing it now and loving it.

I'm sorry this guy and others don't like this direction, but I'm happy others really like it. I'm sure there will be other games that I'm disappointed in that others will like.

Pretty much this. Inevitable when there's a big formula change.

I have yet to play the game, but based on all the trailers and gameplay I've seen, I feel he has a point. Not just for this game, but the industry as a whole.

A lot of 3rd person games are starting to become very formulaic. Cinematic over the shoulder view, interrupting narration, heavily scripted set pieces and pretentious writing with overly brooding characters. If a game takes itself too seriously, it'll age poorly, assuming it hasn't already fallen flat on release smelling like a bad B-movie.

These things might not all apply to God of War, and it might do a lot of things well, but I can understand why a fan would be disappointed that a series that had quite an original theme and gameplay ends up being rebooted with a burnt out formula.

Seconded

I was just about to post this. I actually agree with a lot of what he said. But he has really become annoying in recent years.

Gotta admit, seeing footage of the kid shouting at Kratos makes me dislike him less. Reminds of the old God of War where all the characters are passionate and pissed off and frustrated and over-the-top...

Perhaps he makes for less stick-in-the-mud moments later?

 

And seeing the Blades of Chaos dance around Kratos seems great too!
