You mean player driven narrative?
dilate
Runic attacks going off cooldown instead of a meter is real dumb
Climbing is lame
Trolls and Ancients are way too slow and easy and don't scale into the harder difficulties well.
Fast travel is annoying, especially if you're going between realms.
Other than that I got nothing. It's like a AAA God Hand.
>It's like a AAA God Hand
This. And yet Yea Forums shits on GoW while praises GH, really makes oyu think huh
>Make a valid criticism of its gameplay
>
>Protip: you can't.
You're right. I can't criticize what doesn't exist.
The only thing I didn't like was the lack of more larger bosses, color coded bullshit, and general enemy variety issues. Otherwise, it was a solid 9/10.
>Fast travel is annoying, especially if you're going between realms.
it shouldn't be, it's just like any other game but the loading screen has he player in control like regular.
Cannot complain about the gameplay. When I hit the poison world I truly realized how much variety there is and how cool it can look
I can, however, complain about the lack of enemy and boss variety. All those recolored trolls fucking suck
The camera is annoying
This shit.
The camera is too close to Kratos making the gameplay unnecessarely cluncky and tedious in harder difficulties. I mean, they had to put not one but two enemy indicators(visual arrosw and the kids voice) to show you enemy out of the camera, that is the proof that it's a bad gamepaly design.
Gotta keep it cinematic
I actually can't stand the gameplay in this game. I have no incentive to return to it. Too many forced cinematics that randomly occur, combat feels extremely one dimensional and gets boring, camera is way too close in boss fights, the general level design is terrible for a game of this scale and is filled with narrow unfilled corridors with the occasional boat ride but in general the game feels claustrophobic in a sense. You can tell they spent the vast majority of their budget on the cinematic elements, graphics and motion capture stuff. Reminder that this game apparently had over double the budget of witcher 3 and when you think of it like that it screams mediocrity.
The "hard" fights are just battles against enemies who are needlessly stat bloated to force you to either commit half an hour of perfect play chipping away at one boss or just come back later when you had better equipment. The valkyries in particular were exceptionally annoying because they could have been really good, they all have an interesting set of different moves that help convey some personality to them but the fights are just a slog because you have to land 200 hits to kill them.
You guys are so cringe, auto-aim has always existed on console games, this doesn't have a major impact on the moment to moment combat, and you'll be missing a lot more then you think had you actually played it
It's a game where you fight hordes and that's pretty much it. Doesn't matter how well you dress up these kinds of games, they all suck.
devil may cry is bad then, got it
Cinematic over-the-shoulder camera and non-skippable exposition/ masked loading sections for a game that is supposed to be a multi-target action game that you replay to master the mechanics.
The game is literally designed to be at odds with itself, and only Sonylets, brainlets, and corporate slores think it was actually GOTY 2018, especially with pic related taken into consideration.
the boss fights are garbage. It doesnt actually feel like you're fighting a giant dragon, it just feels like you're fighting a tutorial on how to throw fucking sap. who the fuck designed that shit? and why is every miniboss reused with absolutely no changes to their movesets? everyone complains about the trolls but nobody ever brings up the fucking crystal bosses you fight every 5 minutes that all have the same wait and bait strategy.
the rpg elements are shit, it hardly felt like my gear was getting better at all. leviathan throwing axe is overpowered and at harder difficulties the early game is literally just kite enemies around with the axe. its so fucking garbage. too many enemies dont even flinch when they're getting hit. I hate how im motherfuckin KRATOS and some bridge troll looking guy doesnt even flinch at all when im driving an axe into his face.
baldur was a good bossfight but not good enough to justify wasting your time slogging through this shitty game.
There's no way to turn off acquired upgrades, which makes some moves worse e.g. you can't dodge-cancel attacks as effectively.
The RPG mechanics are for the most part half-assed. Your "level" is based on your combined gear, which is then compared to the enemy's level. How high the enemy's level is determines whether their attacks are blockable (no color), parryable (yellow), or unparryable (red). Really dumb system, especially combined with the extra health/damage/poise enemies get from higher levels.
Climbing is boring as shit. The original God of War's climbing was by no means great but at least it had mechanics to it, climbing in nu-GoW is basically uphill walking. You just aim your camera and press a button while the characters talk.
While it doesn't have the worst enemy roster ever, it could have had a couple more high-tier enemies.
There are too many troll bosses and the final boss is basically the first boss but with an elemental gimmick.
The puzzles are insultingly simple/easy even by God of War standards.
Give me God of War is downright masochistic in the first few hours (though it gets a lot more manageable later).
Niflheim is pretty lame and grindy.
But otherwise I like it.
Yeah, cause RDR2 totally wasn't cinematic garbage. Retard.
Yup. Problem?
For some reason this is tied to the difficulty, there's way less sliding/tracking on GmGoW.
I like this game but i still hate the trope that western games have where your character takes up 40 percent of the screen.
>You guys are so cringe, auto-aim has always existed on Sony "games"
ftfy
That looks awful. Like they are lagging
why do these NPCs always spout buzzwords about shit they never played? you realise you're orbiting a crowd of other people's opinions like a good NPC, right? are you atleast aware of this?
That wasn't my argument, brainlet.
RDR knows exactly what it is and is designed accordingly.
Shares alot of the same problems with Bayonetta and Devil May Cry.

The entire action genre was a mistake. People only play it for the story or the waifus or the politics. Nobody cares about the gameplay.
>supposed to be a multi-target action game that you replay to master the mechanics
Says who?
I love DMC but not every game needs to be DMC.
Literally nothing you said is correct. Stop talking about games you've never played.
>stop talking about games
I wish these were games. Then I'd have gameplay to talk about. Right now they're lucky if they qualify as interactive movies.
@475037576
no more (You)s my bullshitting friend
Because fighting multiple targets with a branching, fluid combat system is the literally core mechanic of the entire game, so to get the mos tout of the game, you should be learning and mastering said mechanic. Most won't though, because the game is designed in such a way to make doing so a chore.
See, can't take criticism. I make a few simple remarks, and the fanboys go crazy.
You realize how long the game is right? You get plenty of time to understand how the game works. The valkyries by themselves will force you to understand the mechanics to beat them. Not every game needs to be mission-based with ranks.
The iffy part about gow's fast traveling is the same as half life cutscenes where you're in a small room and can only walk around that room. Once the novelty of goofing around during that 15-30 second period ends, you end up just sitting there awkwardly.
Funny enough, if the devs actually listen to his complaints, the sequels will be way better.
not enough of it
too much inbetween the gameplay
You can't jump.
I win.
It's not about simply learning the game, it's about repeating and mastering each area of the game. Every section has different enemies, geography, mechanics, etc. There is no way to quickly master each of these sections/ levels because of the cinematic aspect shoehorned into the game.
The first 3 GoW games and the PSP game and a number of other games in the same genre are designed with this in mind, GoW 2018 isn't. It would rather sacrifice gameplay mechanics for narrative/ being cinematic.
>The first 3 GoW games and the PSP game and a number of other games in the same genre are designed with this in mind,
Come on user, don't tell me you believe this. Every GOW is guilty of the same sins as GOW 2018. Theyr'e all cinematic abominations that prefer pretty graphics and cutscenes over good gameplay. FFS the final boss of each game is just a giant quick time event.
>QTE ares
>QTE Zeus
>QTE Zeus again
>QTE that bitch at the end of Ghost of Sparta (or was that Chains of Olympus, idgaf)
The game revels in cinematic filth.
The gameplay is a bland mix of like 4 fucking games that don't even fit instead of just hack and slash like earlier games.
Not comparable. Those are still gameplay, vs watching your boy climb a wall to hit a lever, or sitting through 10 minutes of canoe exposition.
The point is you can have a time attack/ speedrun mentality with the older games, but the new game actively discourages this with how said exposition and loading screens are handled.
Magnetic baham combat

>implying i am wrong
Like bamham you get lunged forward to an enemy when attacking if you're a short distance away from them cause the focus here is on pretty animations than responsive and reliable controls.
Not that guy but the earlier games at least knew what kind of experience they wanted to be. You play God of War when you want to just mindlessly fuck shit up and see some cool setpieces, that's it. The new one wants to have a personal story, in depth combat, ubisoft open world, souls lore, some leftover stuff from previous games like chest puzzles, and it just doesn't work.
Pretty unsurprising that this post has no replies. To add on to what you're saying, not only do you slide towards enemies to hit then, but enemies also slide towards YOU. This leads to situations where an enemy is winding up an attack that you're clearly out of range for, only for the enemy to slide forward and hit you anyways. This is a real pain in the ass on harder difficulties where you die in a couple of hits.
The camera is way too zoomed in for some of the situations the game throws at you. When im dealing with several melee enemy types, and ranged guys throwing shit at me constantly, id like to see more than 2 enemies at a time.
The RPG shit is terrible kratos feels the same no matter what you try to spec in.
Weapon switching is a big step down from previous god of war games. Before, switching weapons let you continue your combo, now kratos has to sheathe his current weapon, then take out his other weapon. It really breaks the flow of combat.
There's only 2 weapons in the game, and the second one isnt introduced until late in the game. This makes combat feel pretty damn repetitive after a bit.
Kratos has random healing powers that he uses in cutscenes whenever he feels like it.
Most enemies bleed neon orange now, which is disappointing for a series known for its gore.
Runic attacks are tied to cooldowns.
A lot of enemies dont even flinch when you hit them, it really feels like youre hitting enemies with a plastic bat sometimes.
Enemy variety sucks
Especially the bosses
Nothing tops the first baldur fight
Agreed.
it fails to be a god of war game but succeed in being a great 3rd-person hack and slash last of us.
Baldur is the only enemy that's fun to fight.
the game is good fren, but I only played it once then returned to rerun bb
Less than ideal situational awareness thanks to a close, off centre camera
Not enough variation of enemies
Game would be perfect if every "giant with rock" was instead a unique fight
Giants shoulda been used sparingly as elite enemies, instead of most of the bosses
And there were one or two more enemies after the werewolves
>you slide awkwardly towards enemies to make sure the hit lands because the focus is on pretty animations instead of responsive controls
this is the intelligence of the people that try to create reasons to hate the game
I will never understand why people have to create issues where there are real ones to complain about
Its almost like they dont play video games
It threw out the preexisting combat which had its own personality for muh Souls

Every one ducking rollerskates over to each other whenever an attack is going to just barely miss. Meaning you have to assume every attack anywhere near you is going to hit even when it clearly shouldn't and any elements of spacing become completly worthless.

Camera is too close to Kratos' ass. Little enemy variety. The randomized niflheim maze doesn't randomize properly. Many of the bosses are underwhelming. But the game is fun overall. Only thing I straight up hated about platinuming it was the collectibles.
>>there is one boss in the entire game
????????????
>Cinematic over-the-shoulder camera
That's a plus, not a flaw you retard.
>it just feels like you're fighting a tutorial on how to throw fucking sap
I don't get it. And every boss fight in GoW feels like a fighting tutorial how to throw fucking QTE?
Dragon boss was better than any large scale battle in the previous game. It actually feel like interactive combat no press x to awesome.
>the rpg elements are shit, it hardly felt like my gear was getting better at all
Wut? There is a massive difference between early gears and upgraded best equipment in game.
why does everyone seethe about this game so much? it won GOTY last year for a reason get over it
I hope you aren't being serious...
>Runic attacks are tied to cooldowns.
Imagine being so casual, that you want to spam overpowered AOE attacks all the time. Good job Yea Forums will never design video game.
>The RPG shit is terrible kratos feels the same no matter what you try to spec in.
Hahaha, what?
What's wrong with having better immersion and precision? Did you ever played God Hand or too casual for that?
>Nothing tops the first baldur fight
>not last valkyrie
any valkyire fight is 100x better then baldur fights
nice trying to fit in faggot
>What's wrong with having better immersion and precision?
Nothing except for when it becomes a hassle with the type of game GoW is. GoW isn't about being "immersed" in whatever the fuck the game offers, it's brainless killing, with cool set peices. If you can't see that shit clearly than there is a problem.
>Did you ever played God Hand or too casual for that?
I did, I even own the PS2 disc for the game, unlike your faggot ass. And GH has tank controls, would you say that GoW has tank controls?
>Nothing except for when it becomes a hassle with the type of game GoW is. GoW isn't about being "immersed" in whatever the fuck the game offer
Citation needed.
>it's brainless killing
Some series evolve.
>I even own the PS2 disc for the game, unlike your faggot ass
Me too queer.
>And GH has tank controls
Why do you move goalposts suddenly?
>Citation needed.
You need citation for how different genres have different cameras?
>Some series evolve
And some other devolve
>Me too queer.
Than you shouldn't compare GoW with GH. The combat isn't the same, how the camera works isnt the same, dodging isnt the same, the level design isn't the same. GH is more of a 3D beat 'em up while GoW is an adventure game
>Why do you move goalposts suddenly?
You're the one who mentioned GH, and how it's the same as GoW.
onions
You enter a room with at least a dozen chests, each having an overly long animation to open for a handful of coins. This is a blatant waste of time.
>You need citation for how different genres have different cameras?
Some hack n slash like GoW and GoH have similar camera.
>And some other devolve
Not GoW though.
>Than you shouldn't compare GoW with GH. The combat isn't the same, how the camera works isnt the same
So explain to me why camera in GoH works, why it dosen't work in GoW.
>You're the one who mentioned GH, and how it's the same as GoW.
I was talking about camera, not controls you idiot.
yeah, 3 seconds. What were they thinking?
>Some hack n slash like GoW and GoH have similar camera.
GH isn't a hack n slash, and them having a "similar" camera doesn't mean it excuses it's faults.
>Not GoW though
It certainly devolved in some areas and "evolved" in others.
>So explain to me why camera in GoH works, why it dosen't work in GoW.
The Camera in GH would phase through walls and objects to make the player see as much as he can, while still maintaining the tank controls that the game is made around. GoW's Camera is grounded on being there and feeling cinematic, meaning it won't phase through walls or help you in anyway, and there is no gameplay reason for it to be like that. instead of coming up with a better camera the devs decided for the player to work around the problem themselves instead.
>I was talking about camera, not controls you idiot.
Still, they don't function the same. And my point wasn't that GoW has a bad camera, the camera is just fine and they did a very good job with it. It's just not a "plus" as you said. And I think it's a downgrade compared to the camera the older games had
God hand has like 5 billion different moves and a counterhit system it’s nothing like boring ass gow
Is this the worst enemy in any action game ever?
No sex minigame
>GH isn't a hack n slash, and them having a "similar" camera doesn't mean it excuses it's faults.
It plays basically the same, just without weapons.
>It certainly devolved in some areas and "evolved" in others.
What areas it devolved?
>The Camera in GH would phase through walls and objects to make the player see as much as he can
You can see the same or even more in GW. Camera in GH is even closer to main character.
>and there is no gameplay reason for it to be like that.
Yes it is, for example precision aiming or precision counters, parries like in GH.
> think it's a downgrade compared to the camera the older games had
Not an argument. Old camera was outdated and reason why series got stale and started declining in sales and reception. It was holding back many aspects of gameplay like aiming and precision just for mindless square mashing thousands of enemies like in some musou games.
GoW has more useful moves and variety compared to GoH. If anything GoH is more boring.
The virgin nordoid vs the CHAD MED
>stun her with arrows
>run to her with a charged running attack
So hard.
You don't understand, this is a hack'n'slash with no deep game mechanics. You can only mash light attack repeatedly. So you can't do that to her. She is the worst.
>it plays basically the same
Confirmed for not having played God Hand.
great argument. Confirmed for not playing GH and GoW.
>It plays basically the same, just without weapons.
They don't play the same
>What areas it devolved?
Platforming became braindead, combat became slower and now has boring cooldowns for moves that you could use freely in older titles. And the lack of a jump button isn't a plus at all.
>You can see the same or even more in GW. Camera in GH is even closer to main character.
The problem isn't how close it is, it's how it is unnecessary and could be done away from, in exchange for a better one. or at the least made the camera for combat and exploration different from each other
>Yes it is, for example precision aiming or precision counters, parries like in GH
You can have that without the over the shoulder camera
>Not an argument. Old camera was outdated and reason why series got stale and started declining in sales and reception
>it's because of the camera the series was repetitive and trash
Really makes you think
>It was holding back many aspects of gameplay like aiming and precision just for mindless square mashing thousands of enemies like in some musou games.
You aim with the left trigger, you can have that with a free camera too, and dial a combos weren't so bad compared to the boring restrictive cool downs
I forgot how many brainlets who played only previous GoW's tried this game.
>They don't play the same
Not an argument.
>Platforming became braindead
Platforming was always braindead in GoW. Do you seriously play GoW for platforming.
>combat became slower
It dosen't. You have to even react faster now because some attacks are unblockable.
>has boring cooldowns for moves that you could use freely in older titles
Cooldowns add strategy to game, otherwise you would spam with overpowered moves.
>, it's how it is unnecessary and could be done away from
I explained why it's closer. You ignored that argument. Good luck with aiming leviathan axe with old ass camera.
>You can have that without the over the shoulder camera
No, you can't.
>Really makes you think
It was one of the main reason. Other was short time, lack of variety in combat and outdated QTE system.
>ou aim with the left trigger, you can have that with a free camera too
No, you can't aim properly when camera is not behing your back.
to this guy
>This games legacy is mountains of text tearing it apart where as good action games have mountains of text discussing their current playthroughs, game styles, strategy, weapons etc
Matt was right
>masked loading sections for a game
stop being asshurt because Sony exclusive won GOTY again. GoW had better gameplay than RDR2 and that's why it won, Nincel, Xbot, PC cuck.
>Not an argument.
Well, you aren't making an argument on how a completely different game is apparently the same as GoW but with fists only.
>Platforming was always braindead in GoW. Do you seriously play GoW for platforming.
No, it wasn't. You can die from platforming with the old games. The new GoW just throws all that out and makes you point forward with the stick and press a button.
>It dosen't. You have to even react faster now because some attacks are unblockable
Unblockable attacks are gay, and the game is still pretty slow and weighty compared to older titles
>Cooldowns add strategy to game, otherwise you would spam with overpowered moves.
They're restrictive and you can only pick up two. That leaves you able to make less moves than what the dial a combo could've done. And I don't like the "strategy" in waiting for a cooldown to end, and it doesnt help with the retarded RPG stats being part of all of that.
>I explained why it's closer. You ignored that argument. Good luck with aiming leviathan axe with old ass camera
It's closer because it wanted to be cinematic, that is all there is to it. And all they have to do is switch the camera to over the shoulder while you hold L2, and there you have it you can aim with the axe while not sacrificing a good camera for a bad one
>No, you can't
Yes, you can
>It was one of the main reason. Other was short time, lack of variety in combat and outdated QTE system
No one bitched about the camera, it was just fine. QTEs are still in GoW but to a minimum now. And the combat could've evolved in a better way than just looking at Nioh and thinking that's the next step.
>No, you can't aim properly when camera is not behing your back
You can. They could add a line to show where the axe will land. But that's too cartoony for the adult audience who enjoy playing videogames. Anyways you could just have the camera move to the back while holding L2 and when you let go it goes back to normal.
>Well, you aren't making an argument on how a completely different game is apparently the same as GoW but with fists only.
How it's completely different game?
>No, it wasn't. You can die from platforming with the old games
That dosen't mean they aren't braindead. Are you seriously liked platforming in GoW? Damn.
>Unblockable attacks are gay
Not an argument.
>and the game is still pretty slow and weighty compared to older titles
It require faster reaction times and adaptation to enemies and their attacks. Nope.
>They're restrictive and you can only pick up two.
What? You can take them as many as you want and change during battle. Old games were restrictive because after attacking with rune magic you have to wait to find orbs to refill them.
>It's closer because it wanted to be cinematic, that is all there is to it.
Citation needed. I explained from gameplay perspective why camera was changed.
>Yes, you can
No, you can't. Show me one game with old GoW camera where you have free aiming genius.
>No one bitched about the camera, it was just fine. QTEs are still in GoW but to a minimum now
Main reason was combat and camera was part of it.
>You can.
Examples please.
>cinematic
That's a buzzword. Old GoW fixed camera was more cinematic that put emphasis on showing more scale and cool frames instead of precision in combat.
>Anyways you could just have the camera move to the back while holding L2 and when you let go it goes back to normal.
Thank god Yea Forums will never design video games, damn.
>too much busy work
>not enough enemy types
>barely any bosses
>repeat bosses
And this is only gameplay... I can bitch about the rest of the game if you want.
>How it's completely different game?
GH has a shit silly narrative has combos that are different, has more bosses and many other things
>That dosen't mean they aren't braindead. Are you seriously liked platforming in GoW? Damn.
They were better in older titles is all I'm saying, and no I don't think the platforming was all that great nor did I play GoW for them.
>Not an argument.
But it's true
>It require faster reaction times and adaptation to enemies and their attacks. Nope
Doesn't make it any less slow
>What? You can take them as many as you want and change during battle.
You can only have two, and if you want to change them you'll have to go through the menus, which is gay
>Citation needed.
GoW was always cinematic, what is there to cite? Lol. It just so happens that ots is cinematic nowadays
>No, you can't
Read the example in my post
>Main reason was combat and camera was part of it.
Camera wasn't a problem
>Examples please
Read my post
I'll stop posting now. Sorry, but I'm too tired.
>>not enough enemy types
Same as other GoW games.
>barely any bosses
5 main and 9 optional.
The ratio of combat to the rest of the game sucks. Walkie talkie bits, climbing segments, brain dead puzzles, and the half ass rpg elements of the game make it a slog to get to the actual fun part.
Did you ignore my last statement purposely because it counters your argument?
>repeat bosses
>no boss & ennemy variety
>camera is way to close to Kratos, meaning that you get less ennemies on screen
>too much walking/climbing section but thats mainly to hide loadtimes
>no jumping because "it doesn't tell a story"
>tacked on rpg element & gear equipments, not very interesting and just add padding
not a bad game overall though, I just enjoy the classics gow more
so what if it always existed on console game, it's still retarded, removing controls of the character is lame from a gameplay standpoint, especially in combat. Witcher 3 had the same problem as Geralt moveset was more or less automaitc and you couldn't decide which attack he was going to do, which can really fuck you up in higher difficulty
>GH has a shit silly narrative
What does it have to do with gameplay? Please tell me they also have different music.
>has combos that are different, has more bosses and many other things
And how that makes them different from a gameplay perspective?
>They were better in older titles
They couldn't be better because platforming in new dosen't exist and it's a good thing.
>But it's true
For casuals who can only hold block button and lack any sense of timing? Maybe.
>Doesn't make it any less slow
it makes if faster than older games.
>You can only have two, and if you want to change them you'll have to go through the menus, which is gay.
You can have 5 at time and change them in menu any time.
>it's gay
Not an argument.
>Read the example in my post
What example? You didn't post single game where it worked. Wonder why.
>Camera wasn't a problem
Combat and camera that comes with it was was a problem.
I get why people might have a problem with the game but to me the combat in this game was so satisfying. Gets a bit ridiculous towards the end when you can use several OP rune abilities, but still fun to use.
Played through it twice and enjoyed it a lot.
My complaints are just the same that everyone else has. Not enough boss variety, that fucking fast travel loading screen and some upgraded abilities are actually worse with no way to get rid of them again.
Thats it, fantastic game and cant wait for GoW II version 2.0
5 of the main bosses aren't repeated. Same with Valkyries who have different attacks and patterns. Argument discarded.
needs more gore
>that fucking fast travel loading screen
Which game dosen't have loading fast travels? For a big, detailed world, GoW does an amazing job with not having loading screens.
>Cooldowns add strategy to game, otherwise you would spam with overpowered moves.
Lol absolutely not. There’s a reason the energy bar existed for your overpowered moves.
The loading is fine, its just so annoying that you have to actually "play" it and walk through the doorways
Lol 4 whole minutes of nothing.
>nothing
It's called gameplay and traveling. Play some arena hack n slash maybe?
Same reason TLoU won. Journos love games they don’t actually have to play.
This. Sony paid them.
Too much magnetism.
Getting to enemies is too easy and it gets boring quicker than it should.
Otherwise I really liked it.
obvious you never played it niggerlover.
god hand is bullshit compared to a game like gow and you know it.
how could you forget the fact that theres no verticality at all?
if the next game doesnt have any jumpoing or anything and a more pullled back camera, whats the paint?
>holding forward with no consequences or progression is gameplay
Technically you’re right but that’s not what I look for in a game.
what a pun, you might wash your mouth with soap.
its controllable with your right stick, thats why all buttons are shoulder.
you have to be a fucking idiot to not realise that.
>moving character to main or sub-goal in the game is not progression
What does he mean by this?
>low enemy variety
>enemy levels to cut odwnon variety

Imagine being this shit at game.
It's boring and repetitive. I dropped it shortly after the first boss
I tried the pure STR build first, then the tank build, then the cooldown build.
The cooldown build had the best DPS by far but the kid is still way better if you keep spamming his attacks.
It sounds more like you sucked controlling the kid.
real bosses are the valks, final is a pain in the ass.
He's not. You are just shit at attacking enemies.
Because there’s nothing there. It’s essentially a long empty hallway. There are no stakes, there’s no gear, and there are no enemies. If you cut that portion out you wouldn’t miss anything and your character wouldn’t be any worse off.
So any traveling in any game is not progression unless I'm fighting an enemy at the current moment? Damn.

Implying you rightards didn't spam the NPC meme when it first surfaced
It's so good that I can't enjoy combat in other action adventure games now.
Play games other than Batman/Shadow of War etc
It insists upon itself.
I did, Zelda BOTW for example. I couldn't believe how shit combat is compared to GoW.
Zelda is an open world game, not exactly a genre known for combat. Play games known for their combat like dmc, bayonetta, ninja gaiden, god hand.
I did. Nothing special.
>Zelda is an open world game, not exactly a genre known for combat
Not an excuse.
Ok tard, GOW18 is now the peak of the action genre apparently.
Also why would an open world game, which is designed to have a lot of different forms of gameplay have combat as good as a dedicated combat game. You dumb.
>Ok tard, GOW18 is now the peak of the action genre apparently.
It is. There is a reason why won GOTY.
>open world is an excuse for shit gameplay
Shill more oaf.
actually if you don’t have the boat rides and long walks you DO miss on a lot of core aspects of the game, mainly being the conversations and little stories that Mimir or Kratos have, which was a clever way of giving character, background and story to the world. In fact, it’s really these sections of the game that gave it soul
I didn't like the rpg level mechanics, it sucks coming up to a challenge and just having to walk away cause you're not a high enough level which means you do so little damage it's just not realistic to even try and fight the thing.
git gud fug
after playing 2 hours you´ve seen 75% of all enemies you´ll ever encounter.
you got 4 different bosses with more than 10 locations to fight.
you have no control over this faggy npc atreus who constantly undermines your authority.
kratos sounds like a gay nigger.
kratos behaves like a sissy faggot
2 different weapons !
increasing difficulty does nothing except cranking up the hp and dmg output of enemies.
camera is poorly.
riddles are ridicoulus.
as the plot.
handholding.
style over substance the game.
U baitin
ironically enough i was gonna put in the post how dark souls does it better with it's havel fight, you're meant to do it much later but if you're good enough you can take him down with backstabs. meanwhile in GoW you can whittle the enemy down by using hit and run tactics but it'll take about half an hour for 1 non boss character that's level 10 when you're level 5 or so.
>after playing 2 hours you´ve seen 75% of all enemies you´ll ever encounter.
Already stopped reading.
>increasing difficulty does nothing except cranking up the hp and dmg output of enemies.
Why people who never played the game talk about it? Is it for shitposting purposes?
5 unique bosses is a pathetic size...
meanwhile GOW1 had only 4 bosses in total and one of them was a simple mob encounter (Medusa). GOW2 had 14 bosses, however 4 of those were mainly QTE (Colossus, Typhoon, Icarus, Clotho) and other 4 were simple encounters (Dark Griffin, Wild Cerberus, Mole Cerberus, The Last Spartan). But please continue on how GOW2018 was the only game ever to have lackluster bosses
Post the God of War 3 bosses faggot. You ain't going to like what you find.
So every God of War game got better and better and then declined in the new one? Thanks for the reinforcement.
Why does new GoW triggers autists so much? Damn.
qte boss 1, qte boss 2, qte boss 3,4,5. And?
godofwar.fandom.com
God of War 2018 has the biggest amount of bosses from in series.
The combat is easy as shit, all the difficulty does is make encounters autistically longer and not actually more challenging.
>casual secondaries arguing over a series that was deemed as shit since its first release
It is honestly disgusting how casual this board is. Go ahead and nostalgiajerk over a literal QTE simulator and then argue over whether the 2018 version is good or not.
oh boy, i missed the sap, dont worry cuz the dragon is just gonna do the same flame attack over and over until i get it right
assuming you don't count each troll/acient/valkyrie as an individual boss fight you end up with 8 bosses in GoW2018(the list uses baldur 3 seperate times because he was accompanied/used something in each fight) while GoW3 has 9.
ONIONS
WIFEEEEEEEES SON
BLAAAAAARGH
Why shouldn't I? They have different attacks and require different strategy.
Actually he has different flame attacks unlike QTE fests bosses. GoW4 is improvement in every way.
The game makes the effort to have worthwhile side content but the actual navigation of the gameworld is clunky, and designed to intentionally slow you down.
The next game needs some sort of platforming/climbing that's not tedious but I'm not sure how given the camera.
i just played the game faggot, he literally does the same flame attack until you get it right.
He has 3 different flames attack queer. What's your point?
from what i remember they all had similar base attack patterns with very few moves to differentiate them, the valkyries were easily the most noticeable since their changes actually forced you to change what you did but the trolls/acients you could use more or less the same strategy for all across. but more to the point if you're willing to break down GoW2's 14 bosses because some were mainly qte's and others were simple then a case can be made for lumping at the very least the trolls/acients all together.

Quality post, you added so much to the discussion while challenging the arguments currently present in the thread. Fuck off, tourist.

Refute the claim that GoW as a series has always been QTE ridden garbage for niggers too casual for real action RPGs like DMC.
Wait you can't you started gaming in 2015.

We're talking about the last GoW, gamer
Nice reading comprehension dude, I lumped the new GoW in with the old ones because they're all the same turbo casual wannabe action games for kiddies that can't play hard games.
...
Based on the thread it really seems like only zoom zooms who never played the old games enjoy the new one and call it BETTER. It's fucking embarrassing.
The game still has tons of QTEs and horrendously easy combat where you can mash the same few moves over and over again to get through trash mobs. Not to mention you barely get punished for getting hit, making the areas between the QTE bosses incredibly easy and not even remotely dangerous. Why don't you write out some psuedo-code that implies that only people who picked up gaming in the 2010s will like new GoW? Loser.
Old games weren't any better, poser. They were honestly worst gameplay wise, but nu-GoW is still fucking terrible.
it's one of the most boring games of all time
the old games suck dick too. gow is one of the worst series ever created, literally only faggots who love mythology like it

I've been here longer than you, thus I can recognize good games when I play them. You, on the other hand, clearly are a 2016 Election migrant and a drumpftard, therefore you hate everything that is popular because it painfully reminds you that Hillary won the popular vote.
You just didn't read it.
>gameplay
That's ableist
Oh my god I love going kayaking with my wife's son. Such great gameplay.
Very little enemy and weapon variety. Dmc5 offers more weapons with an equal or even better moveset than the god of war weapons. Also the camera sticks a little too close to kratos. A few more "execute" animations for stunned enemies would've been great aswell, because they get old fast.
Leveling system was annoying. Enemies were effected by your level rather than the points you have in various aspects or the equipment gave you.
Game's difficulty felt backwards. It starts at its hardest and gets easier as you play, not just in your skill but your damage output and how much you can tank. Even at GMGOW I didn't die once in the second half of the game except the Valkyrie Queen. Runic attacks with cooldown instead of meter plus Spartan rage plus Atreus healing and summons made combat too easy most of the time even on high difficulty.
Next game should have a consistent difficulty curve, or rely on good placement and skill over leveling like the main trilogy had. More well made and well paced boss fights, though I liked the ones in this game as they were for the most part. Otherwise, solid gameplay.
See, you're literally just a politics shitposter with no interest in videogames. No wonder you're in a thread about a game that had a strangely political movement behind it. I repeat, loser.
>the big bad that guard the hell bridge is just another troll reskin
>the last level is a series of rooms with hordes of regular enemies and guess what? more trolls reskin
>the last boss is a more cinematic version of the first boss
it almost feels like they didn't know how to end this game
this is probably the most unnecessary game to get rpg elements, look at this fucking screen
makes me want to puke
No aerial combat therefore no air combos. Shit game and shit story.
ntg but what political movement?
when this game was announced/came out every thread was filled with "onions" and general political shitposts, left or right. I don't know why that game attracted such a big following for pol shitposting but it did.
Yeah must be in a different thread
Because it was announced at the time where "my wifes son" was the new hot meme, and since kratos was traveling around with a 10+ year old boy everyone thought he was adopted.
You can't criticize gameplay that doesn't exist.
its repetitive, tedious bullshit, it doesnt feel like you're fighting a dragon.
>different strategy
fucking lol
only western game that got, god hand/dmc/soulsborne/nioh ter combat.
because retarted Yea Forumstards who havent played it actually thinks its only moviegame like last of us, well if you play easy difficulty it might be but Give me god of war makes it real fucking game and reason for goty
There are a few things I can say.
The combat starts out a tiny bit too simple. I understand they they want to build the character up over time so that the player can appreciate the extra abilities that you get. But Playing on a hard difficulty has a terribly sloggy start combatwise.
The traversal design is too simple. The levels feel like walled off arenas which limit exploration to literally hugging the wall and running in circles until you have seen everything.
All of this is fixable and didn't drag the experience down for me. Loved the game.
no it fucking doesnt
I have to agree with mattewmatosis in one thing, when he says: "No matter what topic I was discussing, I would never have referred to Norse God as an example of anything, because everything it does is better represented elsewhere"
nuGoW feels like a collection of what is trending in videogames right now, it lacks focus and a satisfying gameplay, the game doesn't know if it wants to be a cinematic experience like the last of us or a action game, add the shoehorn rpg elements you have product that wants to please everyone but ends up not being great at anything
Also in every marketing material and interviews the devs also shit on the old trilogy trying to promote the new game, which is fucking weird
>Loved the game

That's not what's happening, you're over reacting and reaching so hard, auto-aim is a part of every console game, has been for years, and it will stay that way, it doesn't have a huge impact on the gameplay, especially since long range attacks are such a small part of combat in general.
It's fucking boring. There's nothing interesting about the level design and pacing isn't very good. Old GoW had constantly changing environments, mostly good encounter design and some great setpieces. I can barely remember anything about this game aside from the blades reveal. Just a very average forgetable game.
God of War, The Last of Us and Bioshock Infinite are all trash games on a fundamental level with regards to companionship expressed through the mechanics. They should have learnt from ICO.
the demo for gow3 was a better game imho. lol but true
That's great, at least game forces variety not 3 hits same combo all the time.
>Old GoW had constantly changing environments, mostly good encounter design
How so? Also nice moving goalposts.
This is what happen when dev want to add some depth in combat for zoomer. You should stick to Mario.
>but nu-GoW is still fucking terrible.
No, only according to couple of retards from Yea Forums too poor for PS4. It's praised everywhere.
Cameras too close, cooldowns instead of magic, rpg elements so less skill more have bigger number, combat is slower than the older games, most of the boss fights are copy paste troll with a different color, and too many cutscenes interrupting gameplay. Boring AAA shit.
Yeah for having a "deep" story and having "rewarding" or "satisfying" combat.
good combat, graphics, story, combat, world construction. Yeah, basically everything.
Come again?
Yes, what's the problem?
>why isn't everything dmc reeeeeeeeee
Your post contains no proper sentences and makes little sense as a result
>review before game release

No, it has proper sentence, also not an argument.
I just remember all the journos having to play it on easy to finish it because the game's normal difficulty requires 'some' concept of gitgud.
Theyre both shit games. But nu-GoW is 50x better than RD2
>it has proper sentence
A proper sentence or proper sentences? It has neither and I know it's not an argument, I'm asking you to clarify your post.
I already asked what can't you understand?
The game is cinematic, but that's not something objectively bad, and the combat is the best in the series, period. W3 has a better world/rpg-feeling to it, but the combat is garbage, GOW is miles better in that department.
All the brainlet complaints are summed up to these:
>it's a walking simulator: you go through empty hallways and sequences the whole game
Objectively a false statement and a fallacy, because pretty much all games can be reduced to this biased-simplistic analysis.
>it's a movie
Objectively a false statement and a fallacy, are all story-driven games with cutscenes movies? Think about BotW and Witcher 3 for instance, are they movies?
>it's not dmc
Faulty comparison fallacy. DMC is a pure hack-n-slash action game (with lots of empty halls littered with enemies in it, get it?), GOW is a story-driven action game.
>old gows were better for reasons unknown
Old gows were pretty much the same but with a diluted musou-like gameplay to it. The cinematic element stayed the same.
>valid criticism
There's no such thing. The "gameplay" is perfect according to ResetGAF journalists and our resident só €€onyggers here at /vee/.
>só €€onyggers
Nincel spotted.
If the boy had been a girl I would play it.
Here user, another masterpiece of gameplay courtesy of Sony CA. Also, it's not called "auto-aim", it's more like "magnetic combat" and it's present in every Sony cinematic experience.
How does my life become so devoid of real issues that I'll have hour long """discussions""" on Yea Forums about why I'm not allowed to enjoy a game?
the combat wasn't bad, but it's not anywhere near those games lol;
those games don't look as good as gow though, nor do they have the story as good as gow's.
I'd still prefer dmc/soulsborne/nioh all day anyway since those are way more fun for me.
>The "gameplay" is perfect according to ResetGAF journalists
And the fault for that lies on you for jerking off these journalists when it's convenient for you. Don't whine and bitch now that the system turned against you.
Horizon has better combat than any Nintendo game. Bad example user.
>b-but Nintendo!
Like clockwork.
close up camera is shit, this is not fucking resident evil survival genre but an action game
gets repetitive after a while because there's no combo system or real rpg elements like in souls games (where stats determine your build, equipment, weapons and style). every playthrough is literally the same so there's no much replay value. and with good combo system like in DMC you'd have real motivation to git gud and felt rewarded for it.
enemy variety is shit and it needs much more epic bosses
son could have been used for good puzzle sections like in old soul reaver games but that would be expecting too much from brain dead ps4 zoomers i.e. target audience
it's still a solid 7/10 game.
Now post the Xbox/Switch games with good combat.
>b-but Xbox/Switch!
hahahahaha you're pathetic.
>imagine having good mobility in your game
who the fuck wants that, right?
But that's true. Melee combat is not even main focus of Horizon and has better gameplay than Nintendo games.

mofo kratos caretaking a boy throughout the whole fucking game holy fuck still dunno what they were thinking
Wow! You can shoot and avoid enemy attacks in this 2D game? GoW is fucked.

Over the shoulder camera means you only only see attacks coming from a cone in front of you.
No, shitty attack indicators don't count.
There's more than one game that uses bows and fist combat? Holy shit..
Melee auto aim didn't exist in the previous GoW games you retard.
>attack indicators don't count.
How so? Because you said so? Lmao.
>caring THIS much about graphics
Yikes, just go watch a movie if that's all you care about.
Old gow combat was very frustrating, and I say that with the property of a guy who beat those games several times on max difficulty. When dealing with groups you could never do more than 3-hit combos on higher diffs because enemies could chain-stagger your ass, it was boring and stimulated the player to spam safe aoe magic attacks over and over.
1. I was talking about gameplay you idiot.
2. It's video game, graphics is also important factor.
It's a video game, not just a game. Go play chess if you only care about gameplay.
I thought you said that game "dabbed" on AAA's? Seems it doesn't.

>Old gow combat was very frustrating
casul
I give you a webm of a game where the combat isn't interrupted by cinematic quick time events every 5 seconds, and instead everyone focuses on the graphics. Come on, isn't that a little shallow?
I've beat those games on Chaos/Titan. Can you explain where I've said anything wrong though?
You can have good graphics and combat though
>I give you a webm of a game where the combat isn't interrupted by cinematic quick time events every 5 seconds
Are you trying to say that GoW4 combat is interrupted by QTE every 5 seconds? Damn, you are even more retarded and desperate than I thought.
Aren't you just desperate by this point? You posted a 2D shoot-em-up shovelware and is trying to say it's objectively better than GoW, have some self-awareness.
yup
Webm unrelated.
>press one button and watch the pretty graphics fly
This is the problem I'mt alking about. You pressed the button like once in that webm, and the game spazzes out into a giant cinematic wankfest of special effects and over-the-top action, that you have little influence over.
Why do you keep spouting hyperboles like they're proper arguments?
No aerial combos.
The kid won't shut the fuck up
>Didn't play the game

>Press one button
He's using multiple buttons and proper timing. You are making complete laughingstock of yourself.
>auto-aim has always existed on console games
For shooters, dumbass.
You're trying too hard user. Here's the real "game play":
The webms just keep proving my point. Look how much time is spent on LE EBIN SUPER HIGH DEF GRAFIX, while the actual gameplay is just you waiting for the animations to play out.
The only point you're proving is how severely handicapped your brain is.
>enemy ai so advanced it does the same thing as a thinking human being does
based
That's literally proving his point. The only notable thing there are the flashy flames and colors, hell even if it did have combos like the original it's far too slow to make it worthwhile.
What point you retarded tranny? You literally have no idea about the game, you never played it. You're just spouting uninformed bullshit while making a clown out of yourself.
>good graphics somehow make gameplay bad
>he's just waiting, not using combos at all
Autist of the year confirmed.
It's boring, slow shit.
>It does have combos and gameplay but it has colors and flames therefore I'm right
Jesus Christ you retards are getting desperate. GOTY 2018, get over it already.
>it's far too slow to make it worthwhile
It's worthwhile because the attacks feel "heavy", like they're grounded in realism instead of feeling like a weightless combo shitfest.
Graphics is not shitty enough. It GoW would look like SNES game, gameplay would be good.
Please, no one gives a shit about it getting GOTY.
>the attacks feel "heavy", like they're grounded in realism instead of feeling like a weightless combo shitfest.
So basically they ruined the whole idea of GoW?
Thanks for admitting it.
No, they improved it.
Who are you to say they've ruined anything just because your cognitive ability can't make sense of the new and better gameplay?

Literally any other AAA PS4 exclusive apart from Uncharted 4 is better than God of War

Ironic coming from the person who couldn't keep up with the much faster originals.
>from the person who couldn't keep up with the much faster originals.
Who are you quoting now retardo?
Who said that? I've beat the original trilogy multiple times, and they weren't fast as you are painting them, GoW always had big animations for strong attacks to make them feel more heavy.
>walky-talky segments where two or more characters spout exposition at each other (which is both shit gamemaking and shit filmmaking
>Only super-large boss in the game is one of those 'exploit a non-combat weakness (in this case, the crystals)
Uh, and?
Yeah, it's better when game has non playable cutscene, instead of added voice acting when you travel.
>worst pacing
>sluggish combat
>Story was clearly favoured over gameplay
How so?
i wish the combat was faster
that's about it
I'm sorry if I can't better articulate my point, but you guys will understand when you're older. Games aren't about the high def graphics or the cinematic storytelling. You'll garner a better appreciation for the GAMEPLAY.
Shallow
Might want to keep your replies in one post it makes your samefagging obvious.
Anyway, looks like you've just given us a claim, how about you prove you've;
Played the originals.
And that they're slow.
But he showed you webm of gameplay. Having good story and graphics dosen't make gameplay worse you idiot. Why do you constantly bring that up?
>Red and Blue colored enemies for your red and blue weapons
Garbage, pathetic enemy design.
>Games aren't about the high def graphics or the cinematic storytelling. You'll garner a better appreciation for the GAMEPLAY.
Games are about all this things. Sorry that you indie shit games looks bad, but that dosen't make them better.
Casual spotted.
I'm not samefagging, don't blame me if other anons are calling you out for your idiotic opinion. And you were the one claiming the old games were faster, hence you need to prove that statement first.
>But he showed you webm of gameplay
You showed him a webm of flashy yet shallow gameplay. If you really wanted to prove your point you would have shown inputs.
How is this shallow? Any argument?
> If you really wanted to prove your point you would have shown inputs.
What?
>If you really wanted to prove your point you would have shown inputs
You are truly retarded, user.
Your opinion is irrelevant since you never played the game. You have absolutely no idea what buttons are played in the webm yet you try to judge it.
God Hand actually had some damn character. Quit trying to piggyback this onions boy failure of a walking narrative onto a game made with actual talent.

Yep, your so called "proof" there is evidence of that, or did you not realise that we all know how to get by the timer and (you)s?
>how about you post some unedited gameplay footage
Like the link you didn't watch? Because they had plenty at the same speed as the original games.
But regardless of your moving of the goalposts you still have to prove you played them. But chances are you're just going to avoid it and focus on some nonsense that doesn't help your argument so every post after this I'll just remind you.
But you are the one that is mad tho?
Why can’t you jump in an action game?
The one guy who kept hammering about "MUH INTERACTIVE MOVIE" should've been thrown out of the window early on, let the guy who was actually trying to keep this as an action game take full control.

It's best game of last year, not shit. Only shit is your taste man.
>It's best game of last year
It wasn't even the best Sony exclusive
You wish Nincel.
Still waiting on that proof.
I mean you don't have anything left to argue with but that.
It was.
Combat is pretty shallow desu. Also, reskinned bosses.
Here nigger, now you're officially BTFO.
Nope. Trolls were enemies, not bosses.
That's photoshop, you lied. Also I have GoW4 and know it's bad and you press one button for flashy cinematics.
Lmao
Cope.
>b-but nintendo!
?
It's not a game no matter how hard you fags try to redefine the word
>it's best game of last year
MHW was
Good joke, dosen't even compare to GoW.
My biggest complaint is you eventually realize that all encounters are tailored to that specific location. You can’t escape and must defeat the enemies to proceed. With that in mind, hardest mode should have harder groups of enemies, not just stronger ones. Like, imagine having to deal with multiple shield guys and witches at the same time while those floating eyeballs and dark elves are blinding you. That would be an encounter.
>now you're officially BTFO.
Wow, you really thought that was all you needed? Ignoring the fact that don't even have a timestamp all that means is that you're defending GoW4 out of brand loyalty.
Thanks, you played yourself.
Oh and you said all three anyway.
Linear shit
How it's not a game Nincel?
Did you really just reply to yourself pretending to be the guy you're arguing with?
That's just sad.
Yes it does, because GoW is a shit movie with shit combat and MHW destroyed it
>no timestamp
>picture literally has posts with timestamp visible
Why GoW4 haters are so fucking dumb? Is it asshurt or young age?
GoW was an amazing game with amazing combat that won over MHW in every way.
>movie
Hahaha what a retard.
Both. Plus a dash of AIDS.
>Oh and you said all three anyway
I have the GoW collection but it's digital.
>timestamp
Hahahahaha, now we know you're just a newfag.
>game
>not game
Seething
calm down snoy
>picture literally has posts with timestamp visible
Do you know how incredibly easy it is to fake something like that?
But that part doesn't even matter, like I said you played yourself because the difference in speed and gameplay complexity is day and night meaning that if you really did play it you're lying through your teeth just to defend GoW4 from criticism.
>Nincel spotted
you guys have eternal asshurt, it's so funny. GOTY
>now we know you're just a newfag.
Wait wait wait, why does that make him a newfag? Written timestamps are a thing older than Yea Forums itself because they're much harder to fake.
>Do you know how incredibly easy it is to fake something like that?
I'll just leave this here
>the difference in speed and gameplay complexity is day and night
You're right, GoW3 is 7hr long corridor linear square and QTE mash not even comparable with GoW4. I'm sorry you are too poor for PS4 and won't play it to see this for yourself, but you don't have to shitpost so much out of anger and jealousy. It's very childish.
You should really think about becoming a comedian, because every shit you say is a joke.
>Be Joseph 'Cuckold' Anderson
>Make insanely long video sucking the games dick
>Be Chadthewtosis
>Make 45 minute video being extremely critical of the game and pointing out every single flaw, with your thesis basically being how it's forgetable
>get shoutout from devs on twitter
I'll take that as a concession. Not like you'd actually admit to being wrong but you're clearly trying to run way by moving the goalposts to the length of the game which was never the point.
Kind of messed up the English this one. Try not to rush next time.
Goty senpai, nothing you can do about it.
>Not like you'd actually admit to being wrong
As always you have problems with reading comprehension because I clearly said something opposite.
By the way, nice job admitting that you never played GoW4. You didn't even address to that when I said it. How do you want to be taken seriously with this?
>Nincel spotted
?
But why is it forgotten when other games continue to sell like hotcakes?
>You didn't even address to that when I said it.
Did I have to?
When did my argument ever rely on that?
Or have to replied to so many people you got me confused with someone else?
But it doesn't matter either way, again, we know you're defending it out of brand loyalty alone.
Why do you pull things out of your ass?
It's never going to be forgotten thanks to retards like you that keep bringing it up just to get BTFO by people who actually played it.
>When did my argument ever rely on that?
So why do you criticize games you never played? Sounds like you are just jealous or maybe extremely retarded?
>you're defending it out of brand loyalty alone.
How so?
>because I clearly said something opposite.
Wait, I've been lurking and all you did was ad hom, deflect and call him poor. How's that admitting you're wrong?
>my argument that game is bad was never relied on fact that I actually played this game
Based retard
are there sex mini games?
>spiderman
Good example of a game that was better than GoW and continues to sell well. GoW is forgotten
>When did my argument ever rely on that?
Confirmed for an actual schizophrenic.
But he is poor and retarded. If not how else he would say that game relies on one button or it's movie?
The sad part about that is that the image on the right was confirmed a shoop. That same arm was used in another image with a lot more veins while holding a steering wheel if I remember right.
Shame the archives don't exist anymore.
>GoW is forgotten
Source = my ass. Based angry toddler.
>If not how else he would say that game relies on one button or it's movie?
?
He never said that? Jeez you are confusing people.

There you go making assumptions again.

Post your copy of GoW4 then.

If you have to slow down the footage to prove your point. Your point sucks
Lol
Sure, let me just open photoshop.
REEEEEEEEEEEEE NINTENDO!!!!!!
lol wut?
Do you even know what his point is?
ITT: one literal retard trying to "prove" a game he didn't play is objectively bad.
Let's laugh, anons.
Nigger what
>compare games released on 2019 to game from mid 2018
based retard.
How do you feel that Zelda BOTW is forgotten?
>this thread is not full of shitposting Nincels
lol wut?
So you can't post it? Hahahaha
to me it seems there's one literal retard who made this thread making non responses to every criticism
>>this thread is not full of shitposting Nincels
Imagine having this much of a victim complex
And he's here .
>this thread is not full of shitposting Nincels
Well where are they?
No one but you has said anything about Nintendo and they don't really invade threads.
>imagine being so mad that game won goty
It's only video game user, stop worshiping Nintendo so much.

COPE
>Well where are they?
Everywhere. For example that one retard who run away when I'm asked him to prove that he played GoW.
>b-but NINTENDOOOOO!
He never played it, it's obvious by his desperate attempts to change topics when you confront him. He can't admit it because otherwise his narrative will melt over his pissed pants.
>How do you feel that Zelda BOTW is forgotten?
That game from early 2017 was a top 10 selling game last month
Only 2 of those are exclusives. You are making complete laughing stock by comparing games on 3 systems to game on 1 system.
Why are you so butthurt?
>For example that one retard who run away when I'm asked him to prove that he played GoW.
How do know he's a Nintendo fanboy?
He never said anything about them, in fact he seems to know more about GoW.
It's not even on your list. Lmao.
FORGOTTEN.
Why are you answering for him?
>, in fact he seems to know more about GoW.
How so? He said all wrong things about it.
>How do know he's a Nintendo fanboy?
He's shitposting about game he can't play.
Because it's me. I have to defend myself somehow and I won't show you my GoW4 copy because I'm at job currently.
I hate spoonfeeding children
The guy is a fucking sperg who samefags as another person to not reply you directly.
None of those are GoW also
Same reason you're apparently answering for the user I'm replying to.
>He's shitposting about game he can't play.
Okay?
Assuming he is mad about it why does that make him a Nintendofag? Seems like you're just throwing childish names around.
>same reason
Do you read minds now to know my reasoning? But as I still haven't reached your level of autism power, I'd honestly like to know your reason.
>retard who run away
Ironic you'd call someone a retard and still not get your English right. Then again it's not like you're really paying attention to my replies anymore.
So GoW is forgotten because 2 exclusives released later managed to sold better this year? That's a new level of cope.
Not in the list of 2019 best selling games. Zelda is forgotten, damn.
what goalpost is moved? i said from the outset he doesnt feel like you're fighting a dragon, just a tutorial on how to throw sap.
its tedious and boring because he has like 5 easily dodged attacks, 4 of which are strictly so you can throw sap at him.
>Assuming he is mad about it why does that make him a Nintendofag?
Because being Nintendofag makes you mad that you can't play Sony game. Nintendo fags shitpost about them hard. Are you new here dear redditor?
Where is your GoW4 copy picture user? We are still waiting.
Dude, can't you talk without the name-calling?
Anyway, I wasn't even talking about that user in the first place I was wondering why you and the "other guy" were calling them Nintendofags when no one said anything about Nintendo other than you two.
>i said from the outset he doesnt feel like you're fighting a dragon, just a tutorial on how to throw sap.
How so?
>its tedious and boring
I can say this about any boss battle.
Answer my question, retard. Why did you answer for him? Are you him? Why are you samefagging as another person to not reply the request for posting your copy of GoW4? Are you that mentally frail you can't admit you're wrong in an anonymous imageboard? Just imagine...
>Because being Nintendofag makes you mad that you can't play Sony game.
Did someone just hit you in the head with a brick? Anyway they don't really care about Sony unless they go into their threads.
>Nintendo fags shitpost about them hard
Okay, this thread doesn't exactly show that because there's absolutely no way to tell whether or not they are.
The only one who gave away that kind of information is you and your rabid defense of this game.
its tedious because the process of throwing sap isn't fun. its boring because the dragon will continue to do the same attack over and over again until you get it right. some new attacks would've alleviated the monotony but i guess they didnt have the budget or whatever lmao
Good god and you're calling other people schizo. Look dude, I'm not him and I literally just told you that I had nothing to do with it until you brought him up.
>2 exclusives released later
hahahaha COPE
>Zelda is forgotten, damn.
10 ten selling game in the most recent traceable period of time. Please keep coping. GoW is a pump and dump movie. Everybody has moved on, yet GTAV, BotW, MK8D, and Minecraft, games from fucking YEARS ago outsold GoW last month.
Why is that?
>Did someone just hit you in the head with a brick?
No, but seems like you have this problem.
>Anyway they don't really care about Sony
Hahahahahaha oh wow
>its tedious because the process of throwing sap isn't fun
You are throwing crystal and it's fun.
>ts boring because the dragon will continue to do the same attack over and over again until you get it right. some new attacks would've alleviated the monotony
That's wrong. He uses various laser attacks, and physical attacks. Seems like you never played the game too.
Expect kratos s ass cover 40% of the screen
>you are throwing crystal and its fun
Even weakest Valkyries fights are better than any encounter in GoW3.
>He never said this
>He seems to know more about this
These are your words, no one talks like this. It's pretty obvious you're trying to pass as another guy to not get BTFO continuously. Also I'm monitoring the thread replies, and yours are always from someone who was already in the thread, even that first reply of yours in the chain.
>but seems like you have this problem
That comeback doesn't work if you're still typing in broken English dude.
>Hahahahahaha oh wow
There's the brick at work but hey if you believe that then find one surefire post that gives anyone away as a Nintendofag.
I'll wait.
t. tendie assmad
At the end of the day GOW still GOTY, so who cares.
>can't prove he played the game
>shitpost about it
Yeah, I bet he's PS4 owner. Retard.
he only does those attacks when it isn't your turn to throw the sap at him. when its your turn to throw the sap he'll do the same firebreath attack until you hit him.
wow, i totally feel like im fighting a dragon
>you never played the game
ah the argument of seething retards everywhere. i literally just played thru the game with my friend and i asked him while i was fighting the dragon what he thought of it and he said it looked boring as fuck too.
why do people keep comparing this game to bloodborne btw? why does reddit love the fuck out of this game?
>God of War bad
>Kirby and Animal Crossing good
You sure did, Billy.
great argument.
>so who cares
No one really, it's forgotten
Who is he quoting?
>implying kirby and animal crossing are bad
It's perfectly normal for adults such as myself to play those games.
>These are your words
Well no they aren't, even then how do you think people talk about others in the third person?
>and yours are always from someone who was already in the thread
No shit?
There's 400+ replies and I said this earlier.
this fag?
>Yeah, I bet he's PS4 owner.
You do know that there's more than just Sony and Nintendo, right?
i played your shitty game, what the fuck are you gonna do about it? lmao
>snoygroids absolute seething since death stranding turned out to be a walking sim
>he only does those attacks when it isn't your turn to throw the sap at him
No, he does them every time retardo, if you have a crystal or not. I just played game yesterday. Please stop embarassing yourself.
>wow, i totally feel like im fighting a dragon
Yes, I do. If you prefer QTE instead, this isn't game for you.
> i literally just played thru the game with my friend and i asked him while i was fighting the dragon what he thought of it and he said it looked boring as fuck too.
Sure you did, Nincel.
Guys listen to me, GOW4 is BAD! I'm telling you, IT IS! Please trust me on this one.
You wish for it, don't you Nincel?
Do you know what a false flag is?
Every time what? Once he does like 3 attacks he goes into firebreath mode and oh boy now its your time to bring down that healthbar!
>nincel
rentcel freecel
You can't even prove they like Nintendo. Good to know they live absolutely rent free in your head.
Lol, no. Myself and 90 million other PS4 owners passed on God of So.y
It's forgotten
>new member of Nincel defense force arrived
Axe throwing is stupid
Over the shoulder camera is cancer for action games
Easy as fuck compared to Sekiro and with half the combat depth
rowing the boat, rowing the boat, rowing the boat, talking talking talking, walking walking walking... fight...cutscene...rowing the boat, rowing the boat, rowing the boat, talking talking talking, walking walking walking... fight... cutscene... repeat.
Climbing is lame
enemy variety is shit, enemy lvls is a stupid mechanic
Cooldowns is a stupid mechanic for abilities
The camera over the shoulder bro... it kills the game. Bar none.
Of course he does, he's replying to himself.
GOD OF WAR!! OMG!!!! WHO CARES ABOUT BOSSES OR COMBAT??? KEEP REHASHING IT!! THANK YOU!! I LOVE FIGHTING THE SAME BOSS OVER AND OVER
You tell'em nintenbro.
>every game that sold less than 11 milion on one system is forgotten
Based Nincels
Man, I get it's overused but you guys really are like NPCs. There aren't any Nintendo fanboys yet your programmed to use Nintendo to deflect.
>wow, this new god of war is just like bloodborne!!
Naw man, I own a switch but only play Mario Maker 2 on it. Trust me. GOW 1,2,3 have better camera and better action 1000 times. You just like movies bro. its ok.
But I love Nintendo.
I also own a Switch and I love to play it with my boyfriend. Pic related, me after Nintendo convinced me to change genders.
>ITS JUST LIKE BLOODBORNES COMBAT OMG
>so mad that have to shout in capslock
Why does this game triggers shitposters so much?
>Nincels
Huh? I'm a card carrying Sony owner.
>OMG DID YOU SEE THAT CUTSCENE DURING BALDUR'S FIGHT BADASS!!!
Eh, not a big fan of this game. It's kinda forgotten
Are you playing it proud, nintenbros?
It's their anti-nintendo script. It kicks in when someone presents logic to them.
I know, right? We triggered those nincels hard, they dont understand what a real videogame is.
What's the admission? Free you say?
It's forgotten bros.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
pfffftttt wow cool game you guys got here
Look mom!! Sonyfarts are the worst!!
It surprises me that you even have that saved with the Nintendo wojaks.
Pretty much why I didn't buy this shit. It had SJW written all over it. Fuck these stupid father and child escort walking sim movies
Damn right, they should learn with Nintendo.
NOOOO DONT LOOK THEYRE BASED I PROMIIISE
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
You gotta try harder mate.
Yeah I agree, fuck nintendo too. Not sure why you keep talking to me about nintendo tho?
You said the P-word
>uh, theres nothing wrong with censorship, sweetie
This is the extent of it I'm afraid.
It's a shame really, shitposting used to be an art.
I'm with you brothers, we are all Nintendobros fighting against toxic masculinity.
>when you disagree with someone about a videogame and that person was a sony gamer
>WOJAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
case in point, the last 50 posts
youtube.com
There is nothing wrong with censorship.
>we are all Nintendobros
Please speak for your self.
Aren't you a nintendobro? Then what are you doing here on Yea Forums?
get in :)
Well this thread was fun. Getting back to bloodborne and spiderman. Bye!
GoW is forgotten :)
>Aren't you a nintendobro
No
Nintendo is the best.
not posting the best version :)
youtube.com
I for one wonder what compels them to shitpost about Nintendo. I mean, is it just easier because there isn't a company attached to PC in the same way?
Times change, but I like your style.
>hers
>clearly two guys
Really makes you think
Classic
Oh no this isn't my work. I'm just commenting on it.
i already posted the best version here get in
Yeah it's two guys, that's the default family of a Nintendo consumer.
>HOLY SHIT DID YOU SEE THE FINAL BOSS ITS LITERALLY THE FIRST BOSS BUT WITH A GIMMICK!!
You can always have more friends Nintenbro.
Nintendo is pro-trans, fuck Sonyncels
>what is your favorite soul destroyer/troll boss fight in the game? my favorite is the bridgekeeper, hes so badass and has 2 extra moves compared to the tutorial troll boss.
>i really empathize with kratos, somewhat because he is raising his wifes son, but also because he has a beard, just like me!
Don't talk shit about Nintondo, or you'll get messed up
It's always hilarious when you use that because it was completely unaffiliated with Nintendo.
im an idort nice try :) gow fucking sucked dick
>completely unaffiliated with Nintendo
These are you gaming buddies, Ninfren.
>no u
Lol
