they turned it into some generic looking third person over the shoulder game, looks like they're adding in some crappy emotional story, some annoying little kid kratos will have to bond with, probably won't even be titties & sex minigames

Actually you're right, I think it was confirmed there's no sex minigame or anything of that nature. Kinda sad, that's actually been a staple of the series since 1. >_>

Kratos being soft with kids was even in GoW 3 so I don't see how this is new

And there was plenty of lore in the original games, why can't these types of games strive for more than mindless action

god of war, like many games back in the good ol days, had its own identity. fixed camera angle, beat em up gameplay, tons of gore and nudity, hyper masculine, ultra pissed off protagonist, etc. all of it made god of war what god of war is, whether you like it or not.

nowadays most AAA single player games have pretty much rolled into becoming the same thing. over-the-shoulder camera, "emotional" storyline, light RPG elements, etc. they're designed to appeal to the largest audience possible, which in this case are casual gamers who didnt enjoy video games before they became more like movies.

I have never played the new God of War but I can guarantee it will be loaded with moments where Kratos and his son must walk slowly and talk, there will probably be some dumbass busywork element like crafting, etc. It is God of War in the sense that the devs tacked on Kratos to sell the game to Sony fans based on brand recognition, but it will play like every other game in the faceless genre

They either ran out of ideas and shat the bed or they've invented the greatest marriage of genres ever.

I'm not hopeful though. Romulox is right. We played God of War to lay down the smack and get bitches, not feel feelings.

May as well reboot Bayonetta as a period WWII drama about a widowed mother or something for all the sense that would make.

I completely agree with green butter and antifar, it looks super generic and doesn't look like a God of War game at all.

Killing a kid main character is probably something they don't want to risk.

It's more likely they kill Kratos after the tutorial and the kid takes over. Because, you know, fans totally want that.

That's why they should though. It's risky and gut wrenching to see a child character being killed because very few mediums are willing to go there. I'd love to see it start off kinda soft, like a more aged and weathered Kratos. Have some fluffy bits with quality character development and then BAM the kid dies and he hard 180's back to the brutal God killer we know him to be.

tbh I'd have expected you to be at least somewhat critical of the gender dynamics in these games.


I have a soft spot for corny 80s action hero archetypes, and also feel the gender dynamics are at least pretty consistent with greek mythology.

All up it was a silly game with silly themes. Now this new one is a serious game with silly themes pretending that they're serious themes, and it's probably going to half-ass it trying. If you want to establish a ridiculous character like Kratos and then try to rewrite that character with a more serious gritty tone you better do an A+ job of it.

I'm not ruling it out. Logan worked, right? But I just don't have high hopes for God of War here. It feels less like an honest attempt to bring some class to the series and more like a cheap marketing grab.

Does anyone remember when God of War and Kratos were widely reviled because he's just a boring dumb sadistic brute? I haven't seen that sentiment lately.

But that's the whole point of the series. Being a bad guy in many ways. This new game doesn't advertise the fun of that.

I never understood that sentiment in the first place. It was honestly quite refreshing to me that Kratos didn't have a soft side. Kept expecting him to flake and do something sentimental but nope, guy was a straight up savage.
