PS5 God of War Laufey

One long 20 minute cutscene with an annoying quippy companion cube to annoy the player like Claptrap. Sony Santa Monica needs to move on and do something new--it's getting old.
That's what i was referring to. A series know for the brutal combat and story now has cute companions with quirky dialogue. Sorry but this is not God Of War to me

Whenever I see purple in a modern game, it's a warning sign to me that dogshit dialogue is guaranteed. I don't know what it is about purple.
 
You're basically censoring anyone who has anything negative to say lmao
I didn't say you can't say something negative, but if it's because a game is linear or has "hallways", then you might as well go after nearly every action game ever. Some have metroidvania aspects or open ended areas, but at the end of the day, you're still following the linear path or eventually go down the only one direction to progress.
he two Nordic games put me to sleep tho, couldn't even be bothered to finish Ragnarök.
GoW III put me to sleep by the last 2/3, yet I was able to finish it. DmC: Definitive Edition, Dante's Inferno and Marlow Briggs I find better than the entire Greek Era saga. I am not sorry.
The gameplay looks interesting, more fluid than the 2 earlier games.
But what bugs me is that this game doesn't seem like a GOW game at all. If you remove the God Of War title from it, no one would figured it's a game of this series, just when the main character specifically mentions Kratos and Atreus. Because gameplay wise, characters, and everything is completely different. It's not that change it's a bad thing, but I feel like this game more than ever and the 2 games before has been more and more distant from it's roots.
There are elements of GoW in there, just put in a different direction. What you're saying is what certain really hardcore fans were saying in a panic back when GoW4 got announced in 2016. "Nothing feels GoW". They're at least changing it up for the right reasons, and it is not a bad thing. I appreciate the shake up. You can't be doing the same thing forever and ever. Hence why the shake up happened in the first place.
What if i find the game a movie with no gameplay? I may share an opinion as long as its valid from you point of view?
And that's the shit I am talking about right there. These games do have gameplay. There is clear gameplay here in this new title, and it's not going to be a "50-100 hour movie walk-a-thon with no/little gameplay". That's just stupid hyperbole that has always been bullshit, or extreme exaggeration to hate something. Look I don't like the forced walking sections either, but at least most of them were made skippable in their respective updates. Though that one with Angrboða can fuck off. Not the character, but her whole walking sections go one for way too long, and should have just been a long cut-scene that is skippable. Otherwise, both previous do have a lot of combat and exploration going for them. Even though the exploration is simplified. With the jump button being back in the game, this should be remedied now.
Sorry but this is not God Of War to me
"Not my God of War/Not God of War to me". It was never yours to begin with. Franchises change for the better or the worse. Look, I know not everyone is going to agree with every single change, but the series had move on for a reason. As much great as the Greek era did, fatigue eventually set in. Norse era still respects the legacy, but it's not afraid to move their title character further (especially in the free DLC for Ragnarok), or learn that they can't keep him angry 24/7. Yes, I know that PSP versions and GoW II have subtle moments, but by II & III especially, we're literally given not much reasons to care what happens to Kratos.

Whenever I see purple in a modern game, it's a warning sign to me that dogshit dialogue is guaranteed. I don't know what it is about purple.
True, didn't even notice the similarities. Definitely not a good a sign
Purple ain't inherently bad, and don't be hater towards the color purple. Just because you didn't like the previous Dragon Age (none of them I find really good in general, and the first game being the worst to even play again, if trying to play the PC version [not optimized for modern PC and hard to get unless you get a 360 copy]), doesn't mean a modern game using purple as a major color theory or theme is automatically bad. That's just you with eyes clouded by hate, and asinine speculation/paranoia over nothing. Learn to grow and man the fuck up people.


Right now you're both are falling into grifter rabbit conspiracy bullshit. I will have none of it. If you wish to please them that much, then leave the thread now. You have no reason to be here then, since you think otherwise.


This is purple being used to symbolize the power and/or coolness of a character, whether the character is badass, of Royal Blood, or something else.

This trope existed at least as far back as Bible Times, where the purple dye Tekhelet was mostly limited to Tabernacle tapestries and high priests' robes in Israel thanks to how hard it was to procure— it could only be sourced from certain species of predatory sea snails, thousands of which had to be captured and carefully crushed in order to dye a reasonably sized garment. This more famously bled over into Phoenicia and The Roman Empire, whose own "Tyrian Purple" could only be worn by government officials and the exorbitantly wealthy. Purple later became a common color for royal robes in Europe, where the legacy and romanticizing of Western Rome was deeply felt after its fall (translatio imperii). It was also the color worn by cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church, before this was changed to the more familiar scarlet.

Some time later, purple became associated with either femininity, or fell on the evil side of Good Colors, Evil Colors (like the Joker). But for those that thought Evil Is Cool, it just helped purple be seen as a cool color. Then it became a stereotypical color for Pimp Duds, and it was definitely cool again. Can be considered a Yin-Yang Bomb when you consider that purple is red and blue combined.
More movie game garbage.
Not a "movie game garbage". Cut bullshit and quit being a blind hater. Norse Saga has humanity. TLOUS pretends to or thinks it has humanity.

I don't think calling it "movie game garbage" is being a "blind hater." They showed what was essentially a 20 minute cutscene. If Sony doesn't want it to look like "movie game garbage," they should've shown off a different section of the game. What was shown gave serious Hellblade 2 vibes, just less woe is me.

Yes, calling that insult is blind hater and one full of negative bias for a game franchise they hate is doing great. Not my problem you choose to intentionally ignore it and not read between the actual lines.

You got combat in three different areas. Hardly qualifies as movie game. A reminder: this a gameplay reveal is probably lumped together, and a lot of dialogue that we hear might not even end up in the finished release. It's unlikely that we meet two companions and the two seemingly main baddies within that fast starting the game either. It's trying to throw as much vague information as it can within a short time for the sake of this reveal. There are going to be changes in the final game, and we know this. This is nothing new for gaming in general.
 
DmC: Definitive Edition,
You know, not that I have concrete substance of playing the game myself yet, but after watching a review from someone I have trust for their genuine authenticity, like SomecallmeJohnny, their review, of DmC and trying not to parrot his opinion wholesale just seemed like a fun videogame. I think the issue is having a preivously existing IP slapped onto it like Starfox Adventures.

To throw my cents into this discussion I think people need to realize when long running franchises have been walking for such a dogged amount of time you could 'feel' the enervation kicking in not only from the side of those disinterested or disillusioned with the fact the franchise isn't something they love anymore and the developers from what is essentially doing so much shake-up's to the point that it creates a magnitude and rifts between long time fans.

But, eh, you can't stop the guys in suits from using the same old costume of Kratos, etc. just for the sake of brand acknowledgement and attachment. It needs to stop.

Hope I get the chance to play Dante's Inferno, I remember seeing magazine flyers and ad reads about it in those that I frequented back then and it always looked like the epitome of cool and a great time.
 
Then again, the main problem will always be the gameplay and the character design

When you keep in mind that the intro of the original games was gameplay with some events playing (with a big boss as a tutorial) and see this trailer.... well, kinda see why many are not amazed at what was show

DmC should have been called something else. Most fans like myself already established that years ago when it first got announced. It's how the OG games started in the first place. DMC1 was supposed to be RE4, but changed for not being scary. That said, if you ever decide to play DmC (2013), just go for the DE version, or the PC version with mods.

Give it a shot. You might enjoy it. I hope you have a 360(you can't get the DLC from the 360 store anymore though)/One X/Series X, PS3, or PSP.

It's the color of Slaanesh. So you know deviants were involoved in making it.
I don't care. Color purple has been used more for than just the Slaanesh, and I really hope you're being sarcastic. Otherwise, put a sock in it.

Again (taps sign)

Also, Bayonetta 3 used purple as its main theme. I have much issues with it, but still a great action game and did well as far as Nintendo and Platinum were concerned

I'm with Roy in this one, at least as of late if a game has this color palette it's probably not for me
 
You create a topic of DISCUSSION, and i can't have an opinion that contradicts yours?
What if i find the game a movie with no gameplay? I may share an opinion as long as its valid from you point of view?
i feel like calling a game like this "just a movie" is just a tired and exaggerated criticism. theres still plenty of gameplay in these games, having a focus on story and spectacle doesnt make a game bad. its how its executed. I do loathe the forced slow walking segments though.

Sounds like a you problem. I am not defending the latest Dragon Age, because I never liked/cared for the franchise in general, but if color purple upsets you that much, then you might as well not touch any game (be they indie, AA, or AAA) in general that uses the color. Once again, you have no concrete proof, and even if y'all did, that just being petty and falling into dumb conspiracy nonsense on social media.

Somebody else who finally gets it. Thank you.

So in other words, you ain't got shit to say and wasting time. Good to know and you can leave.

You can get mad at what I said all you want, but it's how I feel about the current state of things, and every game that looks like that has been something that isn't for me.
I didn't even say it was garbage, I just said it wasn't for me.
Don't make a topic if you can't handle people having an opinion
 
You can get mad at what I said all you want,
Never said I was made nor implied. I just call bullshit when I see it. You can have your opinion, even when it is nonsensical or dumb, but expect people to just accept it blindly or call out contradiction. I like you, but I don't make pathetic excuses for disliking something. I have legit reasons for my dislikes, nor do I blindly assume faith/truth from people who have an axe to grind at the start. Especially when it's asinine speculation and paranoia from nowhere, but they're own hatred and insecurities (not you in this case with the hatred and insecurity). Though if that's all it takes is for one color you to not be interested, then it shows you were never interested to begin with, and holding/looking for any "strong reason" to constantly justify yourself to not play. I don't like Souls games of any capacity, but I don't constantly try to justify it, nor use one color theming as an excuse.
more like mom of war: laughing because uhhhhh.....
People already made that joke, but most from a positive or encouraging angle. I have no problems calling this one Mom of War.

Oh it's far more than a color mate. It's who made it and who they want as a target audience. The answer is simple, it's not me. I don't want to support these people. There are a million games to be played new or otherwise, I don't need this slop. You're the one being nonsensical here, you're dying on a hill you haven't even been to yet, and clearly upset that not everyone wants this new God of War game.
Based on the way you've been responding I'm willing to put money on this having less to do with God of War and more to do with ideology.
 
Before this thread gets locked down i need to get one comment in here.
Not a "movie game garbage". Cut bullshit and quit being a blind hater. Norse Saga has humanity.
Wow dude, real mature discussion you're having there about your modernslop movie game which has humanity that no game had before.
Imagine caring about looking smart on a 500-people retro game forum and writing paragraphs of essays defending the honor of some game about an NPC-looking broad.

Lied about the Wukong team being sexist, dogged Stellar Blade because it's got an attractive character. Stole artwork. Used to work for ign. Just an all around miserable person.
All of that shit and then “used to work for IGN” got me cracking up ngl

Hard pass. If I want to play a God of War game, I'll play one of the past games as Kratos. With 100% less talking Jell-O cubes and ribbons. This will be going on the 'non-buy' games with:
Forspoken
The Golf of Us: Par II (as I once saw a guy on YouTube call it)
Life is Strange
Ghosts of Tsushima: Yotei
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
"Witcher 4"
Dragon Age: Veilguard
Conco-wait, I can't buy that anyway now lmao
Star Wars Outlaws
Fairgame$
Dustborn
Suicide Squad
Unknown 9: Awakening
Alan Wake 2
Saints Row (reboot)
Zau
Saros
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis (holy reductions, Batman!)
Rayman Legends reboot (for the same reason)
Mass Effect Andromeda
Marathon
Horizon Hunters Gathering

...I swear I've spent a 50th of the money this gen on gaming than any of my past generations, yet I game just as much as before.
