Did Matthewmatosis lose all his credibility when he praised an empty open world game like BOTW while disliking a more...

Imagine watching these videos and thinking Matt boiled it down to
>BOTW GOOD
>GOW BAD
He critiqued how the degree of freedom in BotW can be detrimental at times and how Sony didn't go hard enough with GoW's immersion despite being the entire point of the game.

no he correctly pointed out that BOTW is a game that is worth far more than its mediocre combat but God of War is not because, outside of the mediocre combat, there's nothing but filler and story sections. He laser focused on GoWs melee combat problems because that's the entirety of gameplay. The puzzles are literally more childish and braindead than Zeldas, the exploration is simply checking out little crevices in linear pathways, and there's a lot of "walk and talk" story sections stringing it all together. Yet in BOTW he mentions that melee combat is a step down from the last two Zelda games but that the interactivity, verticality, and physics make up for it since it's not a melee only focused game. It's also not a combat only focused game and the puzzles and exploration are fleshed out enough that the mediocre combat does far less damage to BOTW than it does to GoW.

yes, you're the credible big boys impotently shitposting about botw for the past two years, not matt, mommy is proud of you!

Matthewmatosis isn't trying to be objectively correct. His critique is based totally around games being the sum of their parts.

He enjoys small indie games like Dustforce because everything they do is conductive to the objective of the game.
He enjoyed BOTW because everything about it worked to create atmosphere and discovery.

He didn't like God of War because the gameplay didn't mesh with the plot. The combat often broke the atmosphere and felt at odds with the narrative. He didn't like Bioshock Infinite for the exact same reasons.

I liked GoW and don't agree with him, but I respect his viewpoint and see value in his criticism.

>He didn't like Bioshock Infinite for the exact same reasons.
no he didn't like Bioshock Infinite it because every element of the design, from the gameplay to the story to the setting, was putrid, stupid dogshit.

>obvious falseflag thread on nintendogaf
Easy (You)s tend to get stale after awhile, OP.

That doesn't contradict anything I said.

But botw has awful gameplay and little to no sense of progression

It is honestly a Nintendo bias. Or more specifically a Zelda bias.

Say what you want about Joseph Anderson but he was way more comprehensive in terms of the actual content of both games, Matt was more interested in crafting narratives for his video scripts.

>denouncing an entire reviewer because you disagree with their opinion
>letting an outside opinion sway you that much in the first place

If one thing is for certain, you are a sad, strange little man

Cope, Anytime someone cries about the non existent "Nintendo Bias" you know they are seething

BOTW has no sections where you hold forward on the stick and wait for the game to let you play again and is therefore objectively better

Yeah yeah and people only say DMCV is better than Superman 64 because it's japanese, cry me a river hemispherefag.
