Perhaps to you.

It didn't need to be like the previous games. It could have improved upon its old formula but instead Kratos can't jump any more despite Cory's acknowledgement that such a thing would have been fun. It wouldn't make story sense according to him.

A lot of 3rd person games are starting to become very formulaic. Cinematic over the shoulder view, interrupting narration, heavily scripted set pieces and pretentious writing with overly brooding characters. If a game takes itself too seriously, it'll age poorly, assuming it hasn't already fallen flat on release smelling like a bad B-movie. These things might not all apply to God of War, and it might do a lot of things well, but I can understand why a fan would be disappointed that a series that had quite an original theme and gameplay ends up being rebooted with a burnt out formula. |
Not that there's anything wrong with liking these kinds of games. Just that I feel the over-the-shoulder camera angle, walking sections, and parent-child dynamic was already covered by TLoU... Unless the next TLoU won't have these things?
Now I'm wondering if this new God of War has a sex mini-game.
