They are not the same but are you so much against a change? They are reinvigorating the series, but the gameplay for God of War is hack and slash. Watch the fights against the smaller enemies and trolls.

Its nothoing like TLOU, other than you having a younger companion. But it plays very differently and has a different vibe than TLOU.

 

 

I dont care about the little kid - never used it in my argument.

 

Look at the PoV and look at the actual combat between the two videos. The New God of War is slow paced compared to God of War 3 because GoWPS4 is a action adventure game, not a pure action hack and slash.

 

Also against change? Are you serious bro!?!!!!?!?!

I'm fricken excited for the new God of War for PS4. Its possibly my most favorite reveal/showcase this E3 excluding Final Fantasy XV , The Legend of Zelda BotW and Kingdom Hearts 2.8.

I love hack and slash games but I'm not gonna miss it if God of War goes action adventure like it showcases in the reveal trailer - best step of direction for the series imo since Action adventure games seem more popular than Hack and slash action games.

The camera has been used before TLOU, it has existed for over a decade. TLOU is one of the tens of games to use that, and GOW using it isn't taking anything from TLOU.

A hack and slash game could be made more slow paced, again haven't slow paced games existed for a decade? That's not anything original that came in existence with TLOU.

Slow paced or not, the action still has a punch to it, and it still relies on weapon and hand to hand combat, dodging and looks much like a hack and slash game to me.

Yes Bayonetta is. However I'm talking about sales and Bayonetta 2 didn't sell well.

I'm not surprised about the next part, you said the same thing about past GOW games and no that its changed you still comnplain lol.

What did I say about the past GOW games? I didn't like the main protag. but loved the gameplay... 

I've seen some of your posts in the past and you always seemed to show hatred for Kratos, but never praised the gameplay or any other aspects of the games.

Can someone explain what hack n slash is as I was certain GOW was hack n slash.


 

Anything that is like the following

 

God of War 1, 2, 3, Ghost of Sparta, Chains of Olympus and Acension

Devil May Cry 1, 2, 3, 4 and DmC

Bayonetta 1 and 2

Killer is Dead

Lollipop Chainsaw

Ninja Gaiden (7th gen and post)

No More Heroes

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance

and anything similar to the above.

So by your definition it has to be from a narrow template of existing games in the genre to be hack and slash?
