Wait a tick, the latest GOW was from 2022 and Valhala is from 2023, i dont think we will wait 5 to 7 years, specially if the gameplay is good. And that's the deal, Faye was shown as a interesting characater, with less self inflicted motivations than has future husband... and almost the same null result. Can that be a interesting game? Absolutely, and I am sure that whoever is denying this possiiblity is projecting all stupidities sony did in the latest years (i still cannot believe they did what the did with saros...). If the game will be interesting, that's a whole otehr story... because I also do not today's Sony.

Or like playing tomb Raider without Lara Croft.
I couldn't disagree here to be honest.

Yeah sure saying it like that doesn't sound exciting. Especially after Ragnarok that has the Atreus section that were so inifitely boring to death. Imo Ragnarok could been a 9.5/10 but because of Atreus sections i'd give it a 7 or 8/10 at best.
That being said if it's game direct by the goat Cory Barlog who made GOW2 (that i still replay sometimes even today) and GOW 2018 then i'm mad hype for it. This game is gonna shut up a bunch of mouths i'm feeling.

We should probably wait to see what it is first since we know nothing about it.

Highly disagree. My favorite Kratos is in GoW 2018 by a country mile.
So many unbelievable, masterful scenes. His demeanor the entire game, his fucking voice in the home-theatre, his lines ("Speak, head".. not Ragnarok's "my sweet dear friend and therapist Mimir" for fuck sake).. the purest form of the "Do you feel in charge?" Bane essence made character. Most stoic and masculine figure I've ever seen in any medium.. especially compared to GoW III Kratos throwing tantrums.
The way that "I know. But I am your monster no longer." hit man.. with that fucking walk straight through Athena and that goddamn music..
Favorite moments, "I am a God, boy".
Kratos finds the Greek relic, and later drinks wine with that final "Aaah" exhale..
The Blades of Chaos scene, obviously, which is honestly the most badass thing I've ever experienced, especially since no one was expecting the Blades to return.
Kratos finds Zeus.. his voice on the home-theatre when he goes "My father", instant 200% testosterone boost..
Not to mention all the high level gameplay badassery.. ah man, what a fucking masterpiece. That's where God of War ended for me.
Here's a masterpiece video on Ragnarok failures that I highly recommend:

For those who don't remember, Sony tried to make a sort of "female God of War" two generations ago, riding the hype of God of War II and the anticipation for God of War III.
It didn't really work out. The game looked great technically, but the gameplay felt clunky, and while the protagonist was attractive, she lacked charisma. To this day, Sony still owns the rights to Heavenly Sword, but the franchise has basically been forgotten.
The thing is, the kind of female God of War we actually want is more like this.

Another disagree from me, Nariko was an awesome character all around. I loved her.
But as you said, the gameplay was super clunky compared to God of War and the game ran at like 10fps. Still looks great though, sooo many enemies.

Are you implying Nariko is not attractive? Are you a fag?For those who don't remember, Sony tried to make a sort of "female God of War" two generations ago, riding the hype of God of War II and the anticipation for God of War III.

I have zero interest in this game but game devs have made things before that I have zero interest in only to be blown away by what they made.

Ragnarok was straight out awful. Its like a totaly different person moving from its new counter-part franchise, as if the person who made Ragnarok has lingering hate for Kratos entire personna.
If this is true, then I'm pretty sure it would doom the entire franchise. Because no way they wouldn't take opportunity to throw jabs at Kratos for his "toxic masculinity".

I greatly misread since you said this is more what we want is like this and next was Eves booty. My deepest apologies

Agreed. Kratos was so weak in the reboots. I barely want to play him again, nevermind his dead wife lmfao
Still can't believe we only killed two gods across these games. The entire Norse pantheon at their disposal, and the best they could do was strangling twink Heimdall.

It wasnt awful really. Atreus sections sucked, but somehow from 2018 game you keep missing point that Kratos is just done with all bullshit. He had his peaceful life until Faye died. Plenty was said in scene of him recovering blades

When I played it, her face seemed familiar...
Now, thanks to you, I know who she is in real life.
Therefore, the complaint that she's unfeminine wouldn't be a reason for hatred from the usual suspects.
I think the game is based on Freya; the title won't be God of War.
So all of this is pointless.

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
I don't play the God of War games and I doubt this will change anything. They'd have to ditch the forced narrative driven aspects and allow me to focus on the gameplay. "Can't skip cutscenes until you've beaten the game", fuck right on off with that shit lol

I'm cautious about the storyline and characters but I'm still looking forward to it because its santa monica and God of war, so I know its gonna be good at worst.

Its been rumored by reliable people its Fayes story with Tyr. It involves her weapon being able to speak(King Arthur mythos) and spanning several mythologies

Baldur (The Stranger) - Aesir God of Light and the son of Freya. Kratos snapped his neck in the 2018 game.
Magni - Aesir God of Strength and son of Thor. Kratos split his skull with the Leviathan Axe in 2018.
Modi - Aesir God of Berserker Rage and Magni's brother. Kratos killed him with the Leviathan Axe in 2018.
Heimdall - Aesir God of Foresight and guardian of the Bifrost. Kratos choked him to death during Ragnarok.
Gods killed in the two original games:
Ares - The original God of War, killed at the end of the 2005 game.
Athena - The Goddess of War and Wisdom, accidentally killed at the end of God of War II.

I don't mind mixing things up, but the story of God of War is the story of the God of War, and so it's hard to imagine it without him. It's also worth noting that the parts of Ragnarok where Kratos isn't around are by far the worst parts of that game, which doesn't inspire much confidence in SSM's ability to make an entire game without him.

No Kratos plus (probably) no PC release = money saved without even trying.
Can't wait to see the excuses for it "under-performing" 12 months after release.

If it's a cool game, sure.
I don't care about Kratos. He's got as much depth as The Tazmanian Devil..

Same way people hoped yotei would flop?
You mean you didn't play MGS2 as raiden then? Were you one of those people back then?
This is the thing. People like yourself throw around these insults too:
Cuck simulator this, bitch that. Then people are like "why are you making this about sex bro" when they get insults thrown back at them. As they say "Don't dish it out if you can't take it". Nobody even mentioned "misogynist" here except you either.
I would like a return to the feeling that GOW 3 had with immense sense of scale and the savage brutality of the old games.
These new games had some fun combat but they needed much better boss battles and many more options for brutal cinematic finishing moves on common enemies.
Ragnarok was a huge let down for me especially since they hyped the Thor fight for so long and it ended up being super underwhelming. Also that big ass wolf was way under used. Would of been cool to ride it into battle or control it at some point.
I can't wrap my head around how Faye will be used in multiple mythologies that were teased at the end of the Reboot? Something doesn't add up with these leaks.

Nariko was hot, I already made that clear in my comment. She had one of the best pairs of legs from the entire PS3 generation.
As for Faye, the actress/model the character is based on, she's stunning, and Santa Monica didn't stay very faithful to her real appearance in GOW. (Recent photos)

In the 8 canon Metal Gear games, you play as Snake in 4 of them.
(That's not counting MGS Ground Zeroes, Survive, or Portable Ops, none of which has you playing the iconic Snake hero either. MGA1&2 do have Snake, but those and also MG GB are not canon. MGS2, you do technically play as Snake for the first half hour, so maybe count 4 1/2 games? )
