I love the original God of War series and it's "fuck your feelings" attitude, we need more games and movies like this.

But the gameplay was getting stale and Ascension was proof of that so it needed to try something new.

Considering the original games are still available to play for anyone interested in that kind of gameplay, I see no reason to complain about the new God of War doing something different. Series evolving is a good thing, otherwise they are in danger of becoming stale, and God of War was definitely getting to that point after God of War III.

I've heard this viewpoint before but why seek inspiration from The Last of Us? The two franchises are very different.
