That would be as stupid and dumb as to replace Mario in mainline Mario games and Link on Zelda, or to replace Master Chief and Marcus on the Xbox side, or as we saw replacing Nathan Drake in Uncharted or Joel in TLOU.
Mainline GoW games must have Kratos as main character. Because it's what makes the series great. Atreus can, maybe, grow and become a badass. And to continue being a sidekick or to play as him in coop multiplayer or something like that. But the main character must continue being Kratos.
Replacing Joel in TLOU2 wasnt bad.
HiveBusters deserves to be its own series.
And Lost Legacy was a hell of a game.
Not very good examples.
Replacing protagonists isnt that alien a thought.
If it makes people happy, then simply call Atreus' God of War games Atreus of Bread, as long as its made by Santa Monica and is a continuation of the story after Kratos bites the dust.
Um, no. From a gameplay standpoint it was subpar even compared to PS2 entries. From color coded attacks, limited weapon variability, lack of customization and and personality for the player to show off in combat, and the piss poor non-existent difficulty. Story Wise it was infantile and unfunny. The characters were ugly, the story was mindless, the art direction was bland and uninspired - DMC was a shit show and even if it was called something else - it would still be an incredibly low quality title.
But anyways, all that is secondary to thinking that Metacritic is of value to anyone other than warriors and infants. People need to stop posting that as evidence to any argument.
What other metric do we really have to measure if a game is good?
Obviously their is no objective way to do so, but Meta and OpenCritic are the easiest ways to gauge that....its still subjective but it pretty much all we got.
I already told you that subjectively i liked the game as a character action game, I didnt like it as a Devil may Cry game.
Alot of reviewers agreed with me.
Hell most of Steam agrees with me:
Your opinion is that it was a bad game??
Well thats your opinion so thats that, I cant tell you that you are wrong, just like you cant tell me, most of the people who played the game on Steam or reviewers that we are wrong.
We can however agree to disagree.
