I was led to believe that this game was another PS4 narrative walking simulator but it's unashamedly video gamey in it world design, combat is not mashy and high difficulty gives you a good cjallenge. All in all, pretty based.

What gives?

Snoy oppa oppa

ODIN YOU MAY BE ATREUS'S BIOLOGICAL PARENT BUT YOU'LL NEVER BE HIS FATHER

This game exposed a lot of frauds. That mattewmatosis idiot didn't even know you could quick turn the camera with the d-pad.

>its video gamey
Poor Ps4 owners and their cinematic shit getting a little taste of video games

>take my thumb off the movement controls to turn the camera 180 degrees
>meanwhile my other thumb which can only input attack/dodge commands when no commands are queued is free to move the camera at will
>but you cannot
Dumb decision on the developers part.

>days gone confirmed shit
>better fill the catalog with shit that was moneyhat'd into 95+ metacritic
lmao faggot

One of the best games in recent years. Yea Forums just never paid attention past the wife's son trailer.

Stop playing with the godawful classic controls. You are supposed to rotate the camera and attack at the same time with R1 and R2

Every other action game I plays lets me control the camera without it being locked so close to the back of the main character that it becomes the worst enemy in the game, why should I give it a free pass when it's a retarded design decision?

snoystation 4 doesnt usually have games, they needed to ease the snoyboys out of the cutscene

Or just look at the projectile indicators.

You don't get FOV sliders in real life, you just have to notice something's behind you, which are what the indicators do.

There's literally nothing wrong with a game giving you a visual to know someone's about to attack.

Who hurt your feelings?

Stop with the hyperbole and git gud. I play on the hardest difficulty with no HUD and I never get hit in the back because I keep track of them and listen to the audio cues.
Also it zooms out a shitload when you actually start swinging. It only snaps back to right behind you just when you aim your axe or put up your shield to block

Into the trash with your opinion
This is also retarded and a step backwards from what most games are doing where you are required to read enemy attacks and react accordingly, not have a big flashing arrow show up.

It has issues but it's easily the best modern western action game. A solid 8/10. Hopefully the sequel has a lot more bosses (that aren't trolls) and refines/builds on the combat mechanics. Also needs to drastically improve the climbing and have puzzles that aren't braindead.

People who complain about the camera are plebs, it gives the game a unique feel and forces the player to develop situational awareness. It's not quite God Hand but it'll do.

You enjoy it, good for you. I see this gameplay and don't think anything of it, and when I play it I get frustrated with how limiting and boring it gets after the third or fourth fight. Finished off the Nilfheim side section after the main story and never touched it again, that was 5 months ago now?

Opinions. I genuinely thought it was not a good game. Too much down time, especially for a GOW game. Also, the kid and the LOL SO WHACKY characters drove me insane. Tired Kratos is a good concept, though.

Yeah it's good and Yea Forums is retarded, as per the norm

The disconnect between the video game part and the story parts is actually one of the biggest problems with this game.

It wants me to get all emotionally invested in this journey between a father and his son, but then it suddenly just cuts to "OH RIGHT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A VIDEO GAME" and it's super fucking jarring.

Like when after you kill the first Troll boss and Atreus loses his temper, it's supposed to be this emotional moment where Kratos sees himself in his own son, but then right afterwards the game goes 10 XP GAINED and the whole moment was completely undermined.

So basically you see that gameplay and think "psh that looks easy" then you try it and it's not, so you go "fuck this game" and stop playing
You suck and blame the game for your sucking. Everyone on this board is so shit at vidya

Where did he say it was too hard user?
Its limiting, not challenging.

The combination of it being a western action game and a Sony exclusive make it a high target for shitposting.

when he said how much it frustrated him, retard

I don't think it's hard at all, I think it goes out of its way to be annoying and frustrating for no good reason at all.

>I get frustrated with how limiting and boring it gets after the third or fourth fight.
Good job reading

means he gets pissed off at losing

All the sliding and magnetism during combat holds it back, but I still really liked playing it.

Imagine being so assblasted my Matthewmatosis that you unabashedly defend GoW's garbage camera. A simple band aid like that doesn't excuse how shitty it is for actual combat.

It adds depth to the gameplay. Managing your positioning so you don't get surrounded or cornered or back attacked is very important

Climbing puzzles needed more to them but I suppose many of them were loading screens correct? My biggest complaint is I could only use 2 special moves at a time, sucked having all these skills and not able to use them
