If there's one thing that gamers need to drop completely is this horseshit idea that games need to "revolutionary" in the most reductive way possible. First, a game doesn't need to reinvent the wheel to be amazing. Full stop. All video games are the culmination of decades of innovation, and some take all that and fine tune it to a razors edge. Which is what I feel God of War does in so many ways. It folds everything awesome about video games around itself to create a complete package. What you define as revolutionary, others may not. This comes with the territory. But no matter what game you personally think "completely changed everything" I guarantee will be met with pure indignation and reduction to the point of breaking it down to pixels and 1's and 0's on the internet. No matter what you feel is revolutionary, gamers have a completely reductive way of thinking and will say the concepts or mechanics "were done before in __insert game here__" or simply respond with some no effort troll post like "lol" when you talk about what makes a game great. TheRadiant posted... lol Case in point. For me, in God Of War, the way the story is told through one continuous long take and Kratos' perspective is 100% "revolutionary" even though I hate the baggage that comes with that word. The introduction of this new Pantheon of God's and a new arc for Kratos, it's awesome. Ideas like having Mimir on your belt giving you lore and setting the stage through the whole game was brilliant. And then never leaving Kratos perspective gives you that sense of a super long, continuous journey. As well as making EVERYTHING else in the game so mysterious and interesting because you're only learning and seeing things through a brand new perspective. The way they rebooted this franchise with a whole new feel and identity while keeping everything that came before cannon was phenomenally well done. Personally, it was revolutionary in many ways, but I'm sure someone is itching to reduce it down to 1's and 0's. --- Like 90% of CE topics are the same way lol. CE is edgy/contrarian as f* and will do anything to troll the TC/OP. -Touch <cite>SwayM posted [p:958472798] in IGN's &quo...
