PS5 God of War Laufey

[Metroid_Hybrid]

To summarize the past 6+ pages...

If you agree with me: BFF! emojis for you!! Because I echo-chambers!!!

If you disagree with me: You are automatically wrong by default, because my opinion is the only valid one to have, and I'm going to write several angry paragraphs calling you every name in the book that doesn't specifically break ToS, but NOT actually address the sum & substance of said disagreement(s), ever! No matter how valid they may be. Because disagreeing with me = loser/grifter/etc/etc/etc... (aka: Ad Hominem Ad Infinitum)

That being said...
I think one of the biggest valid criticisms is the "Game Movie" phenomenon of the past decade. According to a quick Google search, the two "Dad of Boy" games have about ~6 and ~4.5 hours of cutscenes alone (2018 & Ragnarok, accordingly), and I doubt those numbers include the "walking simulator" sections. Whereas the 5 games of the OG Greek series topped out around about 1~2 hours apiece, on average..
Some exposition and minor drama to move along the plot is fine, if not outright desirable, but if I wanted to watch a movie, I'd much rather just do that instead of 'playing' a "Game Movie"..

Onto much more important matters:

I don't think many people were asking many questions about that one.

I don't like you Polygon, but I it is ridiculous, but not surprising. Bitches be bitches. Let bitches bit. They amount to nothing, and will constantly cry and sniff their farts to make themselves feel better when the game does well. It's all they ever do, and will never amount to much.

God of War’s new PS5 game has already become a culture war disaster

Like clockwork

Hm, must been a big windbag crying for attention. Sad for the windbag.

 

[Lokgamer]

Thanks for the recommendation, dude ^^

I confirm that you should play this and all Greek god of war. They're games like...

 

[BrawlMan]

Combo videos by Combo Spartan as a celebration. Can't wait to see what they bring to the table.

Spoiler: Combo Spartan Videos. All are in their respective playlist.

7 pages of flame wars, nice poast. 10/10 bait. This GoW is cooked, there is so much controversy around, no amount of fixing combat can stop it from sinking lol

At first I thought the thread was legit, but seeing how some people are behaving, including OP for feeding it non-stop. It would be nice if we had impartial moderation, we had better threads censored before.

I'm dead serious about my hatred of OG God of War lmao, I'm not baiting when I said that I think those games suck massive ass

If you noticed, I focused on just putting news out there at this point. I did give warnings about not bringing in the culture war bullshit, and to not just be parroting opinions of the grifters. I even linked a combo video compilation for people to enjoy. I really want to see what Combo Spartan and SmvR bring to the table when Laufey. If certain people have a problem with this game, then they can take their happy ass somewhere else and play something else. I got about 6 other different flavors of actions games coming out in 2026 before this game. I am in fucking heaven will try to enjoy all of them.

My friend begged me to play the first game, and I think is was pretty horrible. He wants me to keep going, but I really don't wanna.

You should play DMC 1, 3, 4, and 5, Tomonobu Itagaki’s Ninja Gaiden I and II, and Bayonetta 1 and 2. These games have much more to offer than God of War; OG God of War is basically baby’s first hack and slash.

@BrawlMan

You are playing the victim here, you make a huge post about how culture-war poasting is forbidden and le bad in this thread and the game is perfect BTW, but then you proceed to reply to each and every disagreement in culture war style, YOU ARE THE CULTURE WAR mate.

If hating the OG games makes you like more the new games, good for you I guess. This is actually a good use of hate, you use to propel your love for something else that you actually want to spend your time with. You or me not liking X or Y game will not change anything for both games, but OP must be really friendly with moderators, because I have seen much lesser flamy threads being locked, but this one is allowed to go for 7 pages. Very suspicious, I don't doubt the claims that this is GG leftovers spilling over this forum, which is such a shame. Better to take a step back from this thread. God Bless unwatch!

That title pretty much goes to DmC (2013), since 2013. Though the Definitive Edition, not as much. So long as you're playing on Hardcore Mode, or adding Must Style Mode on top as a bonus while playing Gods Must Die Difficulty.

he game is perfect BTW,

I never said the game is perfect, and some of the people started the culture war bullshit on the thread. I only called it out, because I knew some people were going to do it regardless (I've seen this happen multiple times here for threads I did not make) of what I did. They only proved my point, and you're making partial excuses for them.

I don't doubt the claims that this is GG leftovers spilling over this forum, which is such a shame.

Once again, only further proving my point and why people like them can screw off. They'll never amount to anything, but reliving the past and trying to win a "war" they never won in the first place, and shot themselves in the foot with a rocket launcher a thousands time, and never learning fucking thing.

I don't even like Nordic/Modern God of War either, I like DMC, Bayonetta and Ninja Gaiden, I think God of War is an incredibly overrated and shitty franchise, but at the same time, you're not wrong about me having my reasons for hating God of War and preferring other hack and slash series, so fair enough on that

I've played Bayonetta before, and I'm actually in the middle of playing DMC1 for the first time. It's a great game!

There is a big difference between a discussing about a game, and gamergate drain-circling.

I can tell pretty easily which someone wants to engage in based off tone. The latter should be discouraged.

 

[RageBurner]

I'm frankly tired and appalled by all the nonsense in this thread. Not surprised, just tired and appalled.
From now on, let's please stay on topic, because I will lock and scrub if I decide it's necessary.

I'm impressed people like the new releases of God of War. Thought people stopped around Ascension just like me!

 

[RageBurner]

It never clicked with me, to be honest. It's not just GoW, I don't like games like Bayonetta either; I feel it's manic and overly flashy. I prefer more measured, slower gameplay.

David Jaffe is acting like a raging bitch again, and no one worth their salt gives a fuck about the has been.

Sounds like Ninja Gaiden Black/Sigma is your speed. In your case, I do recommend trying out the new Onumusha: Way of the Sword demo. It's out on PC, PS5, and Series X (I think).

Thought people stopped around Ascension just like me!

How did you not notice all of the newer games making waves? Yes, there were people who stopped at Ascension, but more than a few kept up with the news.

I think so too, yeah. I appreciate the recommendations.

 

[Nebulon_Galaxy]

I think so too, yeah. I appreciate the recommendations.

I wouldnt rec Ninja Gaiden if slow gameplay id your preferred choice. Ninja Gaiden is also a fast game...
