| Hynad said: Just so you realise, God of War and Lords of Shadow are in no way more shallow than their 8 and 16 Bits counterparts: Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, Final Fight, Dungeons and Dragons, Golden Axe, and of course Battletoads. |
You must have not played battletoads...that game has more gameplay variety than god of war and lords of shadow combined. Standard beat em up style gamplay, platforming, going down the shaft, driving the car, sliding in the ice pipes, riding the snakes, surfing...
Also you cant button mash thought Battletoads or Streets of rage games. Those games had twitch based gameplay and lots of challenge which was just fun. Other games on your list are not as good, but are still more gameplay oriented than God of war.
God of war and lors of shadow are pure button mashers which QTE. Yeah you can increase the difficulty and then it becomes an excercise in frustration...
You don't ever watch a god of war execution of a boss and are like..."wow, that looks so good...I wish I could actually have control instead of play DDR with buttons while the computer does the animations." If you take away visuals from thsoe games, they stop being fun...period.
