Nah, nikkas coming in here like :cape:...

shyt is tired and played out. To say that people's complaints aren't valid is just shyt a stan would say. This series is copy and paste status at this point. The minor tweaks that have been added still don't make the game feel any different. And it's a joke to even stand by how repetitive this franchise has become...not just the moves/gameplay, but down to the animations. There's no excuse for that.

Look at any other action adventure game and how they've evolved since their first inception.

NG to NG2 (NG3 is trash but whatever)
DMC to DMC3 and even DMC4

Those are the main franchises that are paired with GOW since they've all been around the longest. And with each game the developers implement new gameplay mechanics that make each game feel and play significantly different from it's predecessor.

Just say you're picking it up because you're still interested in the story or something. I can't keep playing sequels/prequels of a franchise that plays damn near identically to the last game that came out for it.

I got bored with DMC on like DMC 3. They changed the combat in a way that just left me uninterested. Meanwhile I'm still out here :chicmelon: at god of war.

To each his own I guess :yeshrug:

hopefully Sony Santamonica Studios can work on something else after this, because this is redundant as hell.

Their complaints are retarded though...They're complaining about a GOW game playing like a GOW game...:wtf:

If you're a fan of this franchise that demo won't disappoint you...It's exactly what we've come to expect from this franchise with a few nice tweaks...I like what they did with the rage meter and you can now use enemy weapons against them...

Bruh it's damn near the exact same game over and over. The only difference is who the god is and how gruesome the finisher is. Something has to get switched up a bit if you want people to part with 60 bucks.

They need to let them Bayonetta cats get a hold of the license and show them how you really make an action brawler. She has more moves and combos with one weapon than Kratos has with all his combined.

Yea both of those franchises evolved alright, from classic to hot garbage...

GOW is the only franchise in this genre that has been consistent heat...

So why change something that isn't broke?

Completely agree with this...

These dudes are way too talented to be wasting all this effort on one franchise...

They need to work on new IP...

:what:

DMC3 is known as a classic and superior to DMC1. DMC4 wasn't as good as 3 but the game is still dope. And again, the game doesn't play like all the other ones. Nero might look like Dante, but his mechanics play very different. The only game that was trash was DMC2, 3 good to great games out of 4 isn't bad at all. And after DMC4 they handed it over to a different developer to take it in a different direction.

NG1/Black is classic status as well. NG2 was far from trash, that game was fukking dope... and the main reason it came out with issues is because of what was going on with Itagaki and Team Ninja. But that game implemented one of the best combat mechanics ever in an action game. With the dismembering of limbs, and the finishing techniques... not to mention, that game has like 7 or 8 different weapons to pick from, all of which have extensive movelists... NG3 is trash because Itagaki left and had nothing to do with it.

God of War's only advantage over those franchises is presentation. What has GOW done from GOW1 to now that was as drastic as the stuff mentioned in the other games?

The mindset/strategy to how you approach fights in GOW is stale and they need to have some kind of mechanic that forces the player to go about playing the game differently than all of the other titles. I honestly think that they should let a different developer have have it. The game should implement some kind of dismemberment factor, it also should shoot for 60fps... Like @The_Sheff implied... it would be dope if P* Games made one of these joints

:lawd:

I already know what i need to do beast in the new God of War and i havent even played it. Roll, do the chain combo vertical twirl into the air, juggle in the air, land with whatever space clearing move they have this game, then roll and repeat. When you get the parry move do that if you getting crowded.

Like Golden said DMC1,3,4 and the newest one are good games and you cannot just use the techniques you learned in previous games to beast in a later one. The combat in DMC3 is advanced on a completely different scale compared to GoW.

Im still looking forward to playing this. I enjoyed gow 3 even though the 2nd half of the game boss battles did not thrill me like i would ahve liked them to. Smashing those pagan gods was riveting. As long as this game keeps the bosses in order it will be straight.
