Nintendo is still stuck in the 80s as far as storytelling goes.

 He's an idiot, apparantly who complains that Mario has a vapid story, well duh, story has never been the centerpiece of mario, gameplay is, something which God of war is seriously lacking

He's an idiot because he doesn't like the story?

Nintendo fans, exert your anger when it's necessary as Avinash didn't read the whole article.

I didn't want to get into an argument.  Cory Barlog did make a valid point and it's sad that many people are choosing to attack him rather than admitting that he's actually right.



@Everyone that criticized the Director of God of War


Did you guys even read the entire thing? He praised SMG at the very end for it's creativity regardless of what he personally thought about it. lol



This will only take a moment of your time. *steals your watch*

i think he wants Mario to fight God instead of bowser.

After he makes a game with great story, then he can come back and criticize SMG. Until then, he has no right to.

Are you mad!?



Nintendo has been doing this with Mario since the 80's.

Save Princess Peach for all the Mario games, nothing new other than the Wii-mote and graphics.
