I am not saying that all games these days put visuals over gameplay.
Since we are talking about hack and slash games, Devil May Cry captured this twitch based gameplay back in 2001 perfectly. Ninja Gaiden did the same...as did Bayonetta.
When I play god of war 3, I feel 1 of these 2 things:
1. I am button mashing
2. I don't have control over whats going on and am just watching pretty rendered cinematics while playing musical chairs with buttons
This is because of the cinematic and visuals over control approach the game chooses to take,and thats fine. This obviously appeals to the masses as God of war 3 is considered the ebst hack and salsh this gen.
Hence why I think this thread makes sense, but not only graphics whores are to blame...
