30hr singleplayer campaign

This garbage game is as overrated as The Last of Us

He is Greek, probably fucked a little boy a two back in the day.

This game was awful, it constantly forces your camera around and interrupted the "gameplay" with "le epic cinematic moment!". It doesn't even let you jump off a short ledge except in pre-scripted locations. The game (if you can call it that) is railroaded to hell. Devs should have made a movie instead. I guess low IQ people get fooled and think they're actually the ones in control.

>30hr singleplayer campaign
lmao fucking when ? did you walk the whole way through ?

it's like 10-15hrs

>This garbage game is as overrated as The Last of Us
Don't besmirch TLOU

The game peaked at the very beginning with the first boss fight

Yea Forums hates it because it's an exclusive
nobody browses Yea Forums on their consoles

I hate it because it humanized Kratos and as such, the level of gore and violence was below expectations. The only good thing I enjoyed was watching the cutscenes i.e. story.

I enjoyed it but I didn't like how it was just one big setup for the next one instead of doing it's own thing really well. The final battle was extremely underwhelming.

>I have never played DMC: the post
>I have never played any stylish action game: the post

I didnt like combat, boss fights, kid and really small bestiary.

I played the four relevant ones, but you're right, not all of them are training room simulators
Experimentation that leads nowhere because the franchise fails to capture the arcade essence that inspired it in the first place. Good job with your cool combo in The Void, might be impressive if the enemies weren't sandbags and you weren't manipulating the screen to keep more than one from attacking you
>stylish action
Dont do that.

>game is ugly
>all you do is hack and slash enemies for 30 hours
Wow, user. You sure got me to buy that piece of shit "game"? If you're interested in father son stories I would recommend In the Name of the Father, not this garbage for manchildren.

>30hr campaign
That's bullshit and you know it.

A new documentary is in the works and an interactive exhibit of the place where Cory decided Kratos would have a beard.

Why does this sound like an actual thing?

I've never played this game before but I've watched other people on the internet play this game and it looks boring as shit.

Shill some more, OP.

ahahha you sound like a brainlet who never really understood the gameplay and thinks that DMC1 is the best one aren't you? I can smell you fucking retards from a mile. No wonder you like nuGoW. It's made for peabrained idiots like you after all

It's a case of "boring to watch, fascinating to play"

It is bullshit. The game is only 30 hours if you're doing nearly all side content. I finished at around 30 hours and all I had left were the Valkyries and some of those void things spread throughout the world and that shitty bird collectathon thing. The story itself couldn't have been more than 20.

Actually this is a big part of why
Difficult does not mean good

GoWfags can't stop shilling their movie game...
Oh wait I mean CINEMATIC ACTION, I'm sorry I got the term wrong. Heh

The game has serious flaws but I do appreciate their dedication to making a self-contained complete game. Its success came at the perfect time to give some other 'singleplayer is dead' companies a black eye.

Serial escalation can't be constant if you properly ended a story. The new GoW is a fresh new beginning narrative within a different world. Thus, the villainous cast starts limited and expands as the story progresses and the stakes rise. The scale you're waiting for will be the final boss of GoW 5 and the entirety of GoW 6.

SOUL (including GOW 1 and 2)
soulless

Cory Barlog was a mistake. nuGoW is basically Barlog's Blog: The game

>I hate it because it humanized Kratos and as such, the level of gore and violence was below expectations.
kratos was always a fucked up person, but he only became a total monster once he killed his old family, him getting another one is what made him want to become a better person. It makes sense as far as growth goes.

No it isn't. Average playtime when you finish the game is 33hr

I can't remember a fucking thing from this game, it had no standout moment.

link me your article vro

You are aware that David Jaffe was joking here right? He posted another tweet to clarify it for the fucking retards.

How the fuck were they able to pull off God of War 3 technically? That entire intro and the Cronus fight are nuts.

You clearly didn't take in the story because Kratos' every action is for the most part driven by wanting to forget the fact he killed everyone he loved and then trying to be alone in a world that won't stop fucking with him.

*20 hrs if you only played the Main Story
*30 if you do the side quests

>game is 90% cutscenes
>boring to watch
sounds like a problem

DMC1 is the best, but that's just facts, because it delivers on more than the combat. As deep as 4's combat is, you're better off putting that effort into fighting games instead of grinding/modding BP.

What?

>Challenging combat
I don't think so.

All I remember are the Dragon fight, going to Hel in that boat, the reveal that Atreus is Loki, and the ending teaser that you're fighting Thor in the second one. All of that happens at the very end of the game. The rest felt like massive filler. Especially all the stuff in Alfheim. It's like it had no real consequence aside from getting Atreus some arrows.

Agreed. The intro fight against Poseidon still gives me chills. nuGoW didn't have that "feel"

That's false and you know it.

The best GoW game (2) was made by Barlog.

and still there's nothing impressive or excited like the hydra, you could say the dragon is just as impressive but you don't even fight him

ah yes, the western game devs favorite thing, automatic magnetism combat, ruining games from batman to assassin's creed

Can you faggots just admit you hate any new take on a video game from an older series because it reminds you that you're old now and your best days are behind you?

Probably because they're not going for the same feel. GOW 1-3 is power fantasy, GOW 4 is interpersonal, but they all achieve their goals.

yeah but that was back when he was still a young man not a faggot soiboi who's constantly crying about his dumb kid

I'm sorry, I meant nuBarlog

That in itself could be considered a product of Kratos' development as a warrior. He's gotten so good at killing big things that it's not even a proper fight anymore. His death in the next game will be the best thing that can happen to the series' gameplay in this regard.

Man I remember picking my jaw of the floor first time I saw that fucking hydra

>ruining games from batman to assassin's creed
You say this like bamham or asscreed was any good to begin with.

*blocks your argument*
also, I loved RE2 remake, nuGoW is just bad

Attached: 1552518162410.png (1920x1080, 2.88M)

holy fuck. bring back old GOW, what the fuck are you doing Barlog?

DMC5 is not a new take in the slightest

>His death in the next game will be the best thing that can happen to the series' gameplay in this regard.

Atreus will be Kratos with a bow and you know it.

He looks way more of a mage than his daddy.

>but they all achieve their goals
no they didn't, they just ran out of ideas

Kratos with a bow and different elemental attacks.

Ascension was running out of ideas. 4 is a different idea.

True, but Atreus will put a less storied and experienced character in our hands. What would be a "wow that's a lot of enemies oops my AOE is ready goodbye." situation for Kratos would be an epic struggle for survival for Atreus.

>the hell bridge keeper is just another troll reskin
that was so fucking disappointing, my god

all the bossfights are terrible or mediocre, there's nothing that comes close to these

Attached: god-of-war-bridge-keeper.jpg (1920x1080, 268K)

I would love if they just made the next game where you play as Thor and btfo Kratos and his wife's son

>challenging combat

You literally hold down R1 as you spam Square. The only times you don't are to parry slow and largely telegraphed attacks or when you're fighting one of the game's 20 troll bosses who all fight nearly exactly the same.

>Challenging combat and bossfights if you play on any difficulty besides easy or normal
What, all 1 one of them? The trolls are a joke and both Baldr and the twins fights are glorified cutscenes. All Valkyries are just basically props that teach you how to fight Valkyrie Mom whose fight is the only real bossfight and it being optional is a shame. It's also the only hard bossfight in the game.

Make no mistake, I do like the game but it has plenty of shotcomings both in combat and story. The worst being level scaling is completely fucked up and if you encounter enemies that are couple levels higher than you they will fuck you up immediately unless you cheese them with throwing axe. Also the witches can be proper cunts at times. Obviously this only affects you if you're a real man and play on hard or GoW. Casual shitters need not apply.

Bloodborne >>>>> wall >>>>> Söy of War >>>> wall covered in shit >>>>> wall covered in more shit >>>> Lesbians of Us

Only Bloodborne had good gameplay/combat out of all PS4 exclusives

Don't take Yea Forums seriously.
People bitch endlessly about GoW, Tlou and the like for having cutscenes, yet you won't hear a peep about MGS, Yakuza etc. which have way more cutscenes. But Japan can do no wrong.

There needs to be some other element to Atreus too since he's Loki and Loki is a trickster god in Norse mythology. To make him just a reskinned Kratos with a bow and arrow would be doing a disservice to at least trying to follow Norse mythology to a degree.

It's no excuse for recycling the same fucking boss over and over

>b-but muh japan games
seething snoytard

I didn't hate the game but it was the definition of mediocre. The only thing that felt like it was executed well were the character interactions. Sure did like fighting the troll boss several times with different skins and for the big dragon boss to just be a braindead gimmick fight.

Game is great but it has some rough parts, the RPG-elements feel mediocre at best and even though most systems are good the setpieces aren't as sick as the previous games.

The Stranger was an insanely cool bossfight
The thing with the giant at the end was great

There were some boring parts but overall I think the game is a solid 8.5 and now they got the fundamentals down the next one is hopefully going to be crazy.

I feel he'll eventually be kitted with powers of trickery and deceit. Think things like the clone ability from the new Spiderman game but taking that concept and rolling with it. Perhaps he'll even have the power of suggestion where he'll get monsters to do his bidding. Imagine fighting a troll but instead of controlling it like Kratos does, Atreus whispers in it's ear, the troll furrows it's brow and then starts fighting everyone else while you're free to fight whoever isn't being mauled.

>MGS, Yakuza
these have good gameplay and they're fun, they are not trying hard to look mature or artsy

you sound like randy pitchford
>watches cutscene gameplay
>bearded dad was badass!

It is not, but it is a reason.

I really enjoyed every minute I had with NuGoW, but after beating the Valk Queen I never want to play it again. The Old games you could just pick up and play again but not this one. First playthrough was amazing though.
I am very much looking forward to out of hand the story gets due to how out of hand Asgardian lore is. Thor pretty much murders everything that lives,

>Thor pretty much murders everything that lives
Spoilers! Geez!

Nope, Yea Forums hates it because it's Sony exclusive and higly successful with high user/critic scores, massive sales and GOTY award. Together with Bloodborne, Witcher 3 it's the best game this gen that shits on previous games in franchise.

You had me until
>shits on previous games in franchise

>10hr of that is slow as cutscenes because muh mood.
No, cutscenes take around 2 hr. Play the game user.
>Specials with cooldown.
Which is improvement compared to orb system in other GoWs when you could use specials limited amount of time per battle
>is this a fucking mobile game??
Wut?
Nope, they give them new attacks and abilities too.
It is, because game takes around 50hr on one playthrough.

They should have kept the Helheim boss as the only troll fight, that would have been ok. Same with the big Elf and the Ancients, but of course they had to recycle them to make up for the lack of enemy variety.

It's better in any regard than previous games especially in gameplay terms. I got GoW3 free on PSN and got bored few hours later with square and QTE spamming and no real exploration.

I think it becomes bearable after like 5 hours, but the bosses like Valkyries will always be really bad on the sponge side.
For what they did with the combat, I think it was good. It however seems like it will offer very little advancement within that confined space like jumping/vertical combat, and many of what you expect combat-wise is already done. So I don't know what layer of combat they could add to put ontop of that while also keeping that camera angle.

Maybe more weapons would be all you need, like 5-7 total weapons plus unarmed compared to the just 2 weapons here. Then add in way better/faster weapon swapping or mid-combo swaps like Bloodborne's trick weapon transformation button being an attack if you use L1 mid attack.

So mid combo in GoW2, you could press one of the d-pad buttons and it would not only be an attack but fluidly continue the combo into the new weapon's moveset.

no I hate it because it has nothing in common with God of War, has a shitty camera angle that necessitates the use of flashing warning indicators for enemy attacks, and has unsatisfying combat animations.
>IT DOESN'T HAVE BLACK PEOPLE SO Yea Forums MUST LIKE IT
have sex and then kill yourself

If you have problems with enemies attacking from behind you are just casual pleb. I bet you wouldn't be able to finish first area in God Hand which had the same camera type.

Every Valkyrie boss fights is miles ahead of examples you posted. I bet you think QTE every 2 minutes is good gameplay.

>>Yea Forums hates it because it has cutscenes

no, Yea Forums hates it because is not on PC.

>The final battle was extremely underwhelming.
True, but the father son air combo attacks were really cool

Love how TLOU still makes Nintendo fags seethe.

I think you meant every valkirye boss fights the same right? becuase thats the case
only the last one is worth it

is it worth getting lads?
is it fun?

RE is fun, TLOU is depressing, still good tho

No, they are not because they have different moves.

Explain then why Yea Forums loves Bloodborne which is a PS4 exclusive

Here's a hint: It's an actual good game, so(y) of war is not

That was such bullshit, they really should have made him a real boss.

The ship section sucked as well, Hel was just disappointing all around.

Norse mythology sucks compared to Greek.
Plus most of the heavy hitting Norse Gods were saved as sequel bait.

yeah still underwhelming

Yea Forums loves Bloodborne
Nope, PCfags and Nincels shit on it hard.

I don't know why they chose Ryse combat instead of the arena hack and slash style, they should have done it as another IP but the brand recognition was too good to pass up

>Yea Forums hates it because it has cutscenes
no, they hate it because it's a sony exclusive. the cutscenes are just an excuse to hate the game. Yea Forums loves cutscenes when they're in pc or nintendo games.

Ascension bombed but had the same brand of gigantic boss fights as the previous entries. Its just that the story sucked and the multiplayer wasn't good enough.

Because: aiming system, old formula got stale.
>comparing GoW to Ryse
lol

I fucking hated that shit, camera semilocking as well. Felt like you had no control on character during "combos". It was really bad with chains if you wanted to kite something.

>prophercy of kratos dying
gee, it's like he dint already climb outta hell after dying in first game

>Camera close as fuck because "muh cinematic camera angle"
This alone ruins the game and it was a blatant attempt to copy tlou but at least that was a shooting game. It made ZERO sense for GoW to have that camera angle

You sound like someone who can't form his own opinion out of fear of being shunned by his Yea Forumsros ;_;

I enjoyed the game, it was reasonably challenging on hard and even though there was some dumb shit going on it was still a lot of fun

>It made ZERO sense for GoW to have that camera angle
You wouldn't be able to aim properly with old camera, also game would be another rehash.

This.
Pretty it was proven that Bayo 1&2 both had more cutscenes than both GOW and TLOU. Yet I never hear anyone bitching about it being "a movie."

On top of that, games are 2-3 times shorter. This is hilarious.

Kratos has died like 5 times in GOW. Death means nothing to him.

>these have good gameplay and they're fun, they are not trying hard to look mature or artsy

Camera can be dynamic. Hell most good action games have dynamic camera. DMC5 has the camera right behind the back when you are travelling. Fighting takes it far to the back so that you can see the arena, using Nero's Tomboy turns it into a thrid person shooter. That's exactly how GoW should have done it.

>t. has NEVER read up on Norse mythology and only knows it from pop culture

Still not better than Greek.

Source?

Your mom.

She said that Norse mythology is better and you are gay though.

She's not wrong.
Based mom.

You mean someone... literally anyone... could know who David Jaffe is and NOT know that he was joking?

The gaming world is dying a slow cancerous death.

>Which is improvement compared to orb system in other GoWs when you could use specials limited amount of time per battle
In games like classics god of war no, it wasn't a bad thing or something that needed to be improved, it didn't have a lot of depht but removing your abilities in this type of game is retarded, imagine if you put a cooldown on helm breaker or arbitrary moves in DMC.
GOW 2019 is all over the place with it's RPG elements, mainly with the shitons of loot (armor,runes, weapons upgrade), it's just useless padding, ressources wasted when they could have put a better combat system and ennemy and boss variety
Story was okay, 6/10 game desu

I haven't played it. Only watched clips online.

This game built my hopes up so big, and then smashed them to pieces. I played the first one when it was new. I played every entry since then. This game isn't a God of War game, period. Just having Kratos isn't enough, especially since they dropped the god-king, T.C. Carson.

I seriously feel bad for the children who have this as their first GoW game. Also, for the kids of the future, who won't have the over-the-top badass gory action games that made the gaming world what it is. Everything now has to be justified as art. Only Mortal Kombat is still doing violence on that scale, and even they're making concessions to the SJW crowd.

>In games like classics god of war no
Yes, you would have to wait for battle to end, to find some orbs that refill your special moves. It was dumb and outdated.
> imagine if you put a cooldown on helm breaker or arbitrary moves in DMC.
Bad comparison. Cooldown moves in GoW are very powerful. Spamming them constantly would be game breaking.
>GOW 2019 is all over the place with it's RPG elements, mainly with the shitons of loot (armor,runes, weapons upgrade), it's just useless padding, ressources wasted
No, because it adds depth to the combat system.

Anytime someone uses MUH I assume they are literal retards and disregard their posts

f*cKING game of the generation. It's something that 80% of the posters here wouldn't understand: it's art.

seeThat's the exact problem. The GoW series was never meant to be "art". It was supposed to feed the 13 year old boys inside us all. I get it, the gaming community is bigger than that now. There's more than 13 year old boys playing games.

But you can't let us keep ONE FUCKING SERIES? I'm 25 now, but that game was the first M-Rated game I ever got to play as a kid, and it's one of the best memories I have in gaming. The gore, the boobs, the over the top brutality and kick-assness.

They stripped all that away for glossy graphics and storytelling. Which I love in many other games.

But that's not what GoW was for.
