Wasn't Ascension a good sign that they took those gameplay mechanics as far as it went? Sony didn't even want to do another God of War game afterwards.

On top of that everything that made the older God of War games great still seems to be here. It's just redone in a fresh new way that keeps the series relevant. Why would a fan of the series not like the new game?

It's dumb that it stars a Greek character in Norway, too.

God of War has always been mythology fan fiction. I'm pretty sure they even looked into him fighting Egyptian Gods back in the day.

Well instead of the Egyptian trilogy we got Ascension, PSP games, and several re-releases/ports.

It is true that American media pretty much milked ancient Greece to death. Norway is pretty much becoming the new Greece in terms of milking, though.

the gameplay in this God of War is more fun than its predecessors, IMO.

the attacks just feel so much more visceral.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Everyone groaned when Ascension was announced, then all of a sudden when they try something different everyone's all "OMG HOW DARE THEY CHANGE THING"

It's funny too because the original games had such shallow boring ass combat, idk why people are so attached to it.

You don't need to play the others. It's a backstory really.

this is a dumb concept

if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Ascension's problems were not the core gameplay

fact is barely anyone is making beat-em-ups anymore. would've been nice to get a new big budget one

instead we got a (still very good) cinematic third person action game that checks all the modern AAA gaming boxes

This

I take people who are hating this game the same way I did when people hated on BotW. They're fanboy trolls who haven't played the game.

Gaming media get an erection over games set in medieval/mythical Scandinavia like Skyrim and God of War.

But this is a better beat em up than any previous God of War by some margin. What is it lacking that previous games had?

I love God of War's pessimistic view of the Norse gods. Nice contrast to their representation in the Marvel films.

Yes it was. The game overall did nothing wrong. But it was still using gameplay that originated on the PS2 without much change or evolution. People were over it.

God of War was always a cinematic action game.
