This is the definition of insanity.

Comparing a 30 dollar flash game to a 40 dollar platform. May God have mercy on your soul.
 
It honestly doesn't "feel" good at all. The movement reminds me of those Disney Genesis games, I feel like I'm playing Jungle Book. The combat also feels fine but not great.
You can tell that just by looking at it.

Calling a pixel art inspired by the 16-32bit era we grew up "a flash game," while shilling for a PSX polygon inspired pLaTfOrM game is peak autism.

He's gonna shit on Marathon after a week. He's not shilling for anyone.
He just likes to troll and make people hate the games he's talking about

Just give him this

Popped right in as he was saying, "if this was a game I played during Steam Nextfest, I'd probably put it down and be done enough already. But because it's God of War, I'm curious." He then went on to saying that it's too soft, and that for a AAA IP he'd expect more. Lol.

I'll admit when I was hearing rumors about a God of War Metroidvania, I had something that was more visually appealing in mind. I'll probably just watch a full playthrough and skip through and get the gist.

Yeah he's not feeling it. Said he wants Kratos to be Kratos again.

I don't blame him. I was definitely thinking we'd get more of that than what we got. At least something that channeled the original games a bit more.

I wasn't expecting remakes of all three games, so that's neat. But man, with the state of everything these days, I can't help but imagine they'll be censored to high noon or something, lol.
 
Blasphemous is badass, and GOW actually fits really well in that kind of style.

I'm buying it right now. Santa Monica has a lot to teach Guerrilla about how to handle a franchise. Even though I didn't love GOW Ragnarok that much, at least they didn't turn Kratos into Lego or make a Concord-level disaster with him.
 
I wish Sony would clarify if SP games are no longer coming to PC. This looks like a steam key pickup for me. Dunno about $30 on console.

I honestly think if they had The Game Kitchen develop it, it would've been better.

But I think my issue with the game is more so on the vision and direction and less on the developers themselves.

For sure. I swear rumors for Sons of Sparta mentioned it would be a return to classic Kratos… I guess not. Jaffe said Sons of Sparta has a Disney Hercules vibe and he's not wrong. It do be like that.

I hope the remakes deliver the goods. They will get raked over the coals if they go crazy nerfing things.

I was hoping it was more of a POP TLC or Ori level of production, if not better.

This does look like one of the decent metroidvania, not a stand out. Expected better from a platform holder and their big IP.
 
im sure all playstation games are shit for you.
Nah. I liked Astro Bot. If you check my history, you will see that I have been wanting them to make a dedicated non-vr follow up to the first game, then when announced, I said it looked like a GotY contender. Then after playing it, knew it was a GotY contender.

But that was the last PS game that interested me. I purchased DS2, but Sony only paid for the timed exclusivity. I stopped playing it early on and haven't gone back.

I skipped Concord. Did you?

I play most of them. Just hasn't been a ton worth playing lately. If you consider Helldivers 2, then I purchased it too.

I guess you got to eat shit to know it tastes bad.
Retarded Nintendo fans who pay 70$ for crapola cheap ass games have zero rights to protest the game on the basis of pricing or looks. Heck, the game could have a sub 80 metacritic and even then, they cannot protest as they have paid much more for objectively worse-playing and worse-looking games.

Put in a few hours. Really liking it so far.

The first boss Ioke on hard got me a few times. Combat just feels good so far.

Music could be a potential soundtrack of the year nominee. Very well done.

Dig the crafting, enhancing, and skill tree so far. Pretty simple puzzles so far but I'm good with that.

Map and game seem like they may be quite big.

Wasn't sure if it'd be shit but so far I'm loving it.

LOL that game looks like a one-click flashgame, FOR 30 (T H I R T Y) DOLLARS. It seems like you can serve Sony fanboys diarrhea on a paper plate and they will still defend it with their lives when it comes from Sony.
 
I can't believe Sony signed off on this shit. The game looks horrible. And how can you charge $30, when i can get Hollow Knight or Silksong cheaper.
 
What, this is 30$? No way I'm buying it at that price, maybe in future or if feedbacks are overwhelming positive in near future.
