Actually completely different than me, but then again, you seem to only see what you want to so I can understand how you'd come to that conclusion.

God of War on PS4 sets a dangerous precedent for the action game genre... even more than last time.

Apparently GOW has always been the bane of the genre according to this youtuber. Even though all games in the series have been such incredibly high quality games. How am I supposed to take him seriously when he clearly has never liked the series and probably wouldn't ever like it no matter what?

That isn't the point though, the point to take away is if this game lends itself to the hack and slash genre where he clearly points out that with the camera glued to the characters right shoulder and the weaving in and out of scripted segments that this does in fact steer away from being a hack and slash (where he even provides video examples to provide examples of his statements), but let's throw all that out the window because he doesn't seem fond of the games...

Essentially I get where you are trying to go as far as what he says about his personal feelings of how good this game will/will not be. It seems as if he is disappointed in the fact that it is not hack and slash, and some people may prefer that it isn't, but he isn't wrong about how the game itself no longer lends itself to the hack and slash genre, and in turn uproots itself and reboots under some new "feels" interactive cinematic experience (at least as far as the footage shows).
