Bait people to what? I think the fact that a hack-and-slash franchise has changed itself so drastically and now resembles a game like TLoU a lot more and goes on to be very successful is something to worry about and thread-worthy. I do worry games like DMC and Bayonetta might be influenced by this success in a negative way. Additionally, God of War was once a good gateway franchise that helped introduce people to the hack-and-slash genre. Not so much now... |
God of War is still a hack and slash game. It's simply less arcadey this time around. Less brainless. More grounded.
Since you bring up the shoulder camera, and say it's among the aspects that makes the game bad for the industry, why don't you blame RE4 for it? That's the game that popularized that view point. And TLOU because there's a sidekick? That seems to be a very myopic way of judging the game. As if TLOU was the first game to do it.
But I guess all hack and slash games need to follow the brainless, no shit given formula from DMC and Bayonetta. Anything different will end up being the bane of the video game industry...
Seems to me like you're bringing this guy's video here to get the opportunity of downplaying both TLOU and the new GoW.
