>""movie game""This combat is fucking insane.Why have you maniacs been shitting on this game for years? Because it's better than your weeb trash?
>>728929061>This combatWhere?
>>728929061>press X for AWESOMEimaging thinking you're in control of the combat, kek.
>>728929061you need to give botw a shot after. equally good game
>>728929061>hiding the hud to make the webm more cinematicWhy do all the playstation cumguzzlers do this?
>>728929227It's fun and cool
>>728929227>he cant play unless there's constant reminders on how to play the game and which buttons to presslol lmao
Gearing up for another marketing push already? I guess the egypt game is almost done
>>728929271Because it's so hard to figure out which button to press in a God of War game.
>>728929061>"""movie game""">shows movie game
>>728929271>hud is buttonsYou haven even played this game
>>728929330You don't hit with the square in GOW 2018 or Ragnarök.But since buttons are a problem, I guess you prefer gachas and visual "novels"?
>>728929061It's well animated but god of war fucking suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks
>>728929142>>728929159>>728929330>>728929379>>728929427That's right my fellow gachasissies! We only play high quality gacha such as Brown Dust and Sparkly Impact here! I love how those games actually respect my time and play themselves with autoplay! So much better than that nasty and involved God of War cinematic trash! YUCK!
>>728929061dil8
>>728929394umm yes
>>728929061
>>728929515High tier cope
>>728929515cope and seethe, tranny
>>728929061Good combat isn't about cinematics. It's about the satisfaction that comes from using creativity to solve a hard set of problems under pressure.
>>728929061HOOOOLY MOOOLY THIS GAME IS FIRE
>>728929590Yes, it's a game, you press buttons. It's not like one of your gachas where you hit autoplay.
>>728929061Certified hype moment
>>728929061>ITS NOT A MOVIE GAME>every webm of a playstation game is edited to make it look as much like a cutscene as possibleFace, sonyfags love moviegames and they wish their games were more like movies than they already are.You're just mad that "movie game" is an insult.
>>728929626Maybe if you are highly autistic.
>>728929515
In the end, he won.
>>728929061Why does God of War look like this when all the Marvel and DC games look like crap?
>>728929687Only gachatrannies use it as an insult. For anyone else it's like saying "this game is high quality and good".
>>728929061>retarded low fov over the shoulder shit Let me guess, ultra wide black bars too?
>>728929061Bro you've just spammed every available skill and called it a day.
>>728929061>juggling sandbags...now in movieslop form!never thought there'd be worse slop eating monkeys than DMCkeks
>>728929995>Bro you just play the game wtfI guess it's a weird thing for a gachatranny to see. Being able to use all your skills, instead of them being locked behind paywalls or microtransactions.
I played GoW reboot. It was ok. The only thing really bad about it, gameplay wise, is the fov. It's so bad, some of the Valkyrie attacks you couldn't even see. Anyone claiming it's a movie game didn't play the game.
>>728929061That's why you take people's opinions lightly. 90% of the people here just want attention.
>>728929061Why'd you post a ripoff of a Sonic game? Homing Attack Combat isn't even that interesting. Why do you think Frontiers gave you combos?
>>728929271No, it's because if you left the subtitles visible we'd be seeing something like>BE CAREFUL HE'S WINDING UP A BIG ATTACK PREPARE TO PARRY IT KRATOS
>>728929061>third person over the shoulder shooter pov in a melee action game What the fuck were they even thinking?
>>728929061xD i don't see any gameplay only press x to activate cutscene
>>728930382They weren't.>WE WANT IT TO BE SUPER CINEMATIC AND ALL FILMED IN ONE TAKE SO WE'LL MAKE THE CAMERA BE OVER THE SHOULDER>What about the gameplay?>Gameplay?
>>728930304>he thinks it's a homing attackSweety you wouldn't last 5 seconds in Midgard
>>728929061this is what passes for gameplay in 2025
>>728929061You forgot to mention the 2 hour movie you have to watch before and after this fight.
>>728930459>Pressing an attack button and moving towards an enemy automatically in a homing motion isn't a homing attackLook Anon, just because your favorite game is heavily inspired by Sonic Heroes isn't something to be ashamed of. The fact it's a dumbed down and less aesthetically and musically interesting version of Sonic Heroes however. THAT is what you should be ashamed of.
>>728930382To be fair, I think flawless widescreen fixes both, but I honestly don't know. It makes the game feel very painfully claustrophobic and makes overworld exploration feel nauseating.
>>728930497Yes, it's literally the best combat in any video game. You would have preferred autoplay gachatrash?
>>728929061I became a better man. Hack and Slash DMC dogshit is not video games.
>>728929061gow died with ascension
>>728929061jewish design. they made one of the gods black
Does Ragnarok force you to acquire gear to "level up?" That shit was pure cancer in the first one.
>>728929061>no dodging, parrying, blocking or any other defense actions, just pure "press X to awesome">insane combatbleh
>>728930531First Frontier, now Heroes. Tell me how it compares to Sonic Robo Blast next
>>728929061>magnetized to the enemyhates this kind of combat
>>728929061It's so... EPIC... like bacon and waffles...
>>728930497Anon, I'm going to blow your mind.The reason gameplay has fallen off so hard is that these big devs are using more and more of their favorite influence.Now you MIGHT think this was RE4 because that's what they said but think about it.>Where were the homing attacks in RE4?>Where was the constant chatter telling you what to do during gameplay?>Where was the incessant hand holding that felt like you were playing a kids game>Why are you hearing Tails say "LOOK AT ALL THOSE EGGMAN ROBOTS" for some reason?It's because the number 1 influence and inspiration for modern AAA games is SONIC HEROES
>>728930626>wanting God of War to be a roll and parryslop kind of gamekys
>>728929061>ssstwitter.com
>>72892906180% of these moves are cinematic shit with no interactivity and mechanics This is like if every attack in ninja gaiden act like throw attack(izuna drop, gulliton throw) that locks you in some animation
>>728929061We must have better combat
>>728930729what is the point when the enemies can't fight back??
>>728929271I mean yeah the old GOW actually let you see everything in combat. The over the shoulder movie template has to warn you from behind
>>728929061>this combat is fucking insane>shows cutscenes
>>728930750>cant cope with SS and Twitterlol
>>728930638WELL ACKSHULLY since you brought it up. Why did Doomguy of all people need a Homing Attack anyways?Also while we're at it, why are Sonic games unfairly attacked by gaming media to the point of lying or displaying some of the worst gameplay possible and blaming it on the game?I wonder if it might have something to do with the fact that their "mature games for mature gamers" image would crumble if it became common knowledge that they're all heavily inspired by Sonic Heroes. They happily brought up RE4 but the only thing they took from that was the camera. Where'd the other parts come from?
>>728929061I like how the enemy on Kratos' flank had 2 whole seconds to attack him but was still in the middle of his swing
>>728930382Godhand had that and it works flawlessly
The combat is good. Gachatrannies and brainrotted coomers wouldn't know though, they only suck Tencent cock. The characters and writing is gay and jewish though faggot tranny niggerwriting.
>>728930768You turn the difficulty up nigga.Fucking hell play the game you autist.
>>728930802Ok, you got me, everything is Sonic Heroes
>>728930860Yes but Godhand had an actual combat system not some abysmal MMO skills tier slop.
>Because it's better than your weeb trash?>better>better>better>better>betterBETTERBETTERBETTERBETTERBETTERBETTERBETTERBETTERBETTERBETTERBETTERBETTERBETTERBETTERBETTERBETTERBETTERBETTER
/v/iggers don't actually play games.
>>728929061BASED OPGachasissies and HacknSlashcuckolds can't comprehend that games can have actually have nice animations and look good. They're too used to shitty PS2 graphics and animations that were put together in 3 hours.
>two loud camps of retards yelling past each other>no one actually talking about the game itselfkys.
>>728929061Why western devs hate attack cancel?
>>728930768You didn't play the game. Give me God of War difficulty would filter 99.9% of this shitty ass board
>>728929061>press x to awesome>on a bunch of goons that can't even swing backwow
>>728930927
>>728930895>WE'RE HEAVILY INSPIRED BY RE4>only part taken is the camera>RE4 doesn't have a homing attack, doesn't have constant gameplay chatter, doesn't hold your hand to a relentless levelAnon, I get it hurts your very soul to hear this but Sonic is the ultimate influence of the gaming industry at least in the west. You don't have to like it, but you do need to accept it
LMAOEven Genshin has better combat
>>728930729Well at least now we know who the Souls haters are, GoW and DMCniggers
Kratos is building level btw
>>728931020>nooooooooo you cant just feel powerful while literally being the GOD of war>noooooooooo you must feel weak and roll around and parry more than you hit!!!
>>728931005rajesh everyone can pirate the game, no one cares about how it plays on le ebin "real" difficulty or else we would have had significantly better shilling than contextless webms of kratos treating enemies like automatic punching bags
>>728931052Anon... Trolling is against the rules...
>>728931046so why don't you make a thread about Sonic Heroes? Oh, that's right, because it would get 3 comments (one of them from me, saying that I like Sonic) before it dies
>>728931079Oh, so now I'm Indian lol, next you will call me tranny or something, you guys have nothing, and never actually played these games. They're good, and nothing you say changes that, sucks to be you retard.
>>728931073>enemies can't even attempt to hit you>wow I feel so empowered, just like a woman of color!
>>728931005>if we make every enemy a damage sponge that one shots the player, they'll think it's hardcoreYeah no sorry I already played Skyrim on legendary difficulty
>>728929061how does this make him a better man? he kills like 10 people in this webm, including women. he's just a bully
>>728931141That's not what it does at all, you didn't play the game.
>press X to awesome>b-b-b-b-but atleast it's not gacha shitEmbarrassing.
>>728931129if you shill a sony game you are spiritually a low caste pajeet, I don't make the rules
>>728931005...because they would fall asleep out of boredom.
>>728931191And I never will. I'll never buy any game Anthony Burch is involved in.
>>728929061>bad guy cancels his swing at 0:17 because kratos was pressing X so hardkek
>unemployed Souls bums shitting and crying because how dare a game where you play as a god fullfill a power fantasy kek not everyone has 20 hours a day to autistically learn attack patterns of some random AI boss
>faggot who shits up every souls thread expects everybody to clap at his dogshit movie game thread
>first gacha>the action games>now souls>sonyfaggots just swinging wildly trying to find any other fanbase to rage againstConsole warriors have brain problems
>>728931116Because western gamers are terrified of admitting the truth that their big "mature" games that can be taken seriously are more aligned and inspired by a children's platformer about a talking anthropomorphic animal that runs fast and is heavily associated with autism.I can't imagine people being happy to know that their "big mature game that can be taken seriously" is influenced heavily by the peak of autism.
>>728931283your shitty tank controls game will never be Asura's Wrath, I'm sorry
>>728929061i never played any gow before the one from 2018i pirated it for free, played it for 3h (30m after witch hut visit), then got bored and uninstaledits just boringany puzzle is your little chimp saying how to do it if you dont do it in 10 seccombat was boring with same enemy type all the time (some tree bark thing)
Ninja Gaiden 4 is fun. You should get it when it drops to $20.
>>728929061>tap X to do FIRE TWIRL>tap X to do CHAIN STOMP>tap X to do AXE UPPERCUT>tap X to do DASH OF RAGNAROK>tap X to do VISHNU'S SMASHWow such captivating combat, sometimes I like to put a blanket over my controller and pretend I'm not pressing X and Kratos is doing it all by himself directed by Michael Bay.
>>728929316Yep, and it's going to dominate the discussion once it releases. Look forward to it.
>>728931606Just like god of snoy "dominated" the board the last two games, right?
>>728931583but at least it's 10% more engaging than watching an actual movie
>>728931494how is it at all like a game where you play as a blue hedgehog and his orange and red friend at all time in a team of three, or a different team of three based on colors and characters available?
>>728931693Yes, those games mindbroke /v/ for months.
>>728931479And yet they'll never go against pic-related because just watching one stage being played will remind you of these supposed "mature" games they love to tout for validation from the child rapist indus... I mean "Hollywood film" industry. Don't believe me, watch this and think about the big Sony movie games you've played. You'll see a connection you never once thought would be there.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcXmmC77iUY
>>728931717Why do you think I said it was dumbed down?
>>728931801is sonic heroes your favorite game? what are your top 3?
>>728931760Forgot image
i blame 300
>>728929061>God of war >Needs a 67 hit combo (same 3 moves) to kill a basic bitch skeleton jejGOOOOODS
>>728930990Kratos commits to his attacks he would never hesitate
>>728931437souls-like are shit and you're retarded if you think otherwise.
>>728929061Reminder, this board will unironically tell you this is the best "game" ever.
>>728931849Actually no, it's pretty low. I can just see the influence of it in all of these supposed "mature" games which I see as insulting. I don't care how much gore or how many times your characters say "fuck" if the gameplay is just a dumbed down version of a children's video game. That's not mature, that's just lame and disingenuous.
>>728929061Wow, it has juggles, oh my.INSANE
>>728932038i watched your clip, and I guess you are making this comparison because Tails is talking the whole time
>>728931921Reminder that there's tutorial help to inform you that you can dodge attacks. This is RIGHT AT THE END OF THE GAME. I'd think you'd know by now that you can dodge attacks. But then again this is what happens when you make every game as accessible as a children's game.
>>728931935I would not call them "attacks"You press a button to perform a uninterrupted animation that locks you in place Its basically a qte without prompts
>>728929649What do you mean? You probably have to press more buttons in genchink or Z-z-z... per abyss tower than in the whole duology of new GoW
>>728932012I really enjoy knowing that it's an assblasted GoWnigger who posts these, this thread has been enlightening
>>728932059Except you barely juggle anythingYou basically performing a special attack with every input
>>728929061This is considerably watered down and inferior to the PS2 game and a dishonest representation of how the game is most of the time.
>>728932104No shit. Constant non-stop chatter telling you where to go or what to do does not belong in a mature game. You're over 15, you should be able to think for yourself or explore for yourself. Not have a character say "Hey you should try this thing" or "Hey you should go this way" the whole damn time. It's barely fine for a kids game since it's for little children who don't fully comprehend games yet but this is a game for supposed "mature adults." You can't not mock the shit out of someone for thinking it's mature when it's basically a kids game.
>>728932197Literally described every action game of all time... Where do you insane retards come from? Nu War isn't some masterpiece by any stretch but you guys are being retarded with these insane copes. Just admit you're wrong and attack the things actually bad about this game, like the dogshit story or the babby puzzles.
I have snoy fatigue
>>728932148A better man doesn't dodge when his wife's boyfriend needs to punish him. It's good the game teaches us thus.
>>728932303it's not that bad in the game. it's actually useful when you are exploring because the side character will stand near the direction of the main quest so you know to go the other way for the treasure
Literally every clip of this game's "combat" looks like dull, generic trash you see in every single westoid game with live service type "gameplay", souless UI and gear score bullshit.
>>728932327Go play any traditional action game retardThis is not how a action combat worksEven old gow which were a dumb down action game follows the core basics of action gamesEvery input in nu gow act like glory kill which locks you into a shit long animation
>>728929061I hate the new camera angle
>>728932494Why don't you play nuwar first retard.
>>728932494That's because long, clumsy animations are teh realistic and the second a game gets too video-gamey with animation cancelling or anything too "unrealistic" the average normalfag switches into the fluoride stare and loses interest immediately
>>728932443>big angry bear man with lightning coursing all through his body swings his steel hammer of thunder at someone's head>*boink*
Play 20 minutes of any -Tide game and you'll get more action than every webm in this thread combined.
>>728932587I did and actually completed the first oneWorst experience I ever had playing an "action" game
>>728931921>BUT IT'S BASED WHEN DEVIL MAY CRY DOES IT BECAUSE....BECAUSE IT JUST IS, OKAY!!
>>728932771you're literally full of shit or so hopped up on copium you can't think straight.
>>728932781When DMC does it it's a long chain of button and direction inputs with precision. Pushing some buttons to get an MMO tier skill to come out that then goes on cool down is nowhere close to the same level of ability required.
>>728932781Correct.
>>728929061It's trying too hard to be cinematic
>>728929061>dmcuck tier sandbag juggling while the rest watches while jerking offyawn
>>728932781>b-but dark souls!!!!>b-but devil may cry!!!!!!
I don't get why /v/ shits itself so hard over these games. It's not the best thing ever but they're fun and look cool, at least in that regard they're similar to the old GoW games. The stories are whatever and the character writing has a lot of modern marvel shit and walking and talking half-life shit in it, but the combat itself and the world exploration stuff is good.
>>728932781In dmc you can make your own combos, cancel input and juggle enemies how ever you want Dmc doesn't waste you time showing long ass animation except for very few attack like judgement cut but these are called finishers for a reason
>>728929061>This combat is fucking insane.Kill yourself, you emasculated faggot.
>>728931213Most of you are zoomers so you wouldn't know but there was a time when snoy games were good.
>>728932707You see, Kratos has a really thick skull.Unlike his cock which is why he needs other men to fuck his wife.
>>728929061Here's a "real" action game in comparison. Uncs are insane
>>728929061LmaoIf you think this is amazing combat you might be clinically retarded.
>>728933280Bruhhhh where are the epic cinematic animation and amazing slow mo so boringgggg
>>728930990>>728932494>Every input in nu gow act like glory kill which locks you into a shit long animationThats wrong. Only runic attacks really do that. And heavy normal attacks, but only during specific frames where it wouldnt make sense to cancel out of (but I don't see how thats different from not being able to cancel out of your dive kick in Street Fighter). Like while leaping in midair to do a axe dunk move. For light attacks, charging attacks, throws, most stuff you can cancel out mid-swing anytime with a dodge or parry. OP's webm is practice mode where you have infinite resources to keep doing cinematic uncancelable moves.One of the game's mechanics is using such large attacks / runics like that only when you know you wont get hit. Sometimes you know you wont get hit because the attack itself will be stunning them, or the last attack (or parry) you did stunned them and gave you an opening. In that way the game is like a wave of constant aggression where you're attacking out in rage in all directions trying to juggle stunning them all as you do attacks like this. The close camera has you remembering where they are in your head and listening to sound cues instead of just seeing it all from far away. It's fitting for the theme of GOW, but /v/ would never admit this
>>728929515No one who knew actual videogames by name would hold such opinion, think your bait over.
>>728929061Heavily dislike how magnetic the combat was in the first nu-GoW, so I never played Ragnarok. Doubt they fixed that.
>>728933352>>728933401Show me better combat.
The camera position is for the optimal experience when you're seated on the cuck chair.
>>728929061>game is exclusive to PlayStation Lol movie game bullshit woke trash >same exact game releases on PC on steamWhat the fuck why didnt you fags tell me this was actually goodA tale as old as time. /v/ is full of contrarians and poorfags who simply can't afford a PS5 and a game. Another common thing is people complaining about a recent AAA game on PC when the fact is they're just poor and are trying to run it on a GTX 970M. tl;dr never ever trust the opinion of anyone here about the quality of a game especially if they're hating on it simply for being AAA or exclusive to a specific platform. It's cope.
>>728929761We never got a sequel and it pisses me off.
>>728933507>What the fuck why didnt you fags tell me this was actually goodAnon, that isn't an organic PC gamer, it's a snoy shilling AAA slop. They always do this and post webms with "god tier gameplay" that to everyone else looks awful, janky or just plain bad. They then spend the whole thread trying to gaslight you into agreeing that it looks good.
>>728929061Anon...majority of what you posted are literally locked animations lmao theres no interaction during these runic attacks and you have locked i-frames too. If anything you proved that shit is moviegame.
>>728932012Looks good, positioning actually matters unlike GoW
>>728933401He's attacking gachafags because I'm willing to bet one pissed him off and mocked his shitty game. Though it's funny to think that the only game nugow fanboys can attack for having less gameplay is gacha.>The shitty mobile game has less gameplay than my AAA slop. >But what about normal games? >NOOOOO DON'T BRING THOSE UP MY GAMEPLAY WEBMS WILL LOOK SHIT IN COMPARISON
>>728933578You are replying to one yourself, notice the "you're poor". Always the same shit
>>728929061Why do those other guys just stand there and wait for their turn to be attacked?
uh oh snoytroon meltie
>>728930382You know what could have been done with the camera? Grabbing an enemy and bulldozing his ass through other enemies, don't know why they would remove grabs.
>>728933712They don't?
>casual vs casual flamewar threadthis is like when cod and battlefield fans argue
>>728933476Already have here >>728931760>inb4 but that doesn't countIt's more involved than what you posted in the OP. That really says a lot when you think about it.
>>728929159>>728929330The hell is this blasphemy? GoW was always a Square game.
>>728933740Seems like gachatrannys are melting here.
>>728929515>Belittling people because they disagreed with youWe must be better man than this anon
>>728933640GOW is an action game (DS is not) and positioning never matters in action games. In most of them you can just teleport in the enemy's face or yank them over to you from far away. Or fly into them from up to 20ft away with a distance-closer move (like Dante's stinger). Honestly it matters more in GOW than in those ones since GOW has no equivalents to those 3 (besides you being to aim axe throws anytime)
>>728933706Oh good point.
>>728933809positioning matters in good beat em ups because it affects what combos you can do and if another enemy is going to come up and break your combo
LOL this thread baited dozens
>>728932012>DaS2fag is a better manPfffffthahahaha, DaS2 revisionism threads will never be the same.
>>728933809>Honestly it matters more in GOW than in those ones since GOW has no equivalents to those 3But it does. It's called a Homing Attack. The difference is that it's not a skill, it's a property attached to every move.
>>728931583Post the unedited pic.
>>728933712He spams runic attacks. They are AoE and stagger enemies so they cant really do anything to you due to being staggered and during these Kratos has i-frames lol. 80% of this webm apart from heavy launchers are locked in AoE runic attacks on cooldown with i-frames.
>>728929061They're good games with engaging metroidvania progression, satisfying combat and story. You're just on /v/ where the autistic screeching of a small minority is so loud it seems like the board is of one mind about it.Don't underestimate the sheer retarded determination of some of these losers. It's probably one spastic who wasn't allowed to play gow because his mummy wouldn't let him so he's been on a 24/7 anti gow crusade since the games released like 10 years ago or whatever it is now. Just every day it's his entire reason to exist is to slag off this game or that game tirelessly. Every board has a collection of these fruit loops.It's not unusual. I've been playing stalker mods a lot lately and the stalker general has been getting spaz bombed into oblivion for 2+ solid weeks because some sperg took offense to something arbitrarily and is on a never ending melty of biblical proportions. Same thing here. Who do you think posts the same threads every day for 5 years+. You're dealing, through 4chan, with some of the most unbelievable, hopelessly demented people on the planet.Tl;dr take opinions here a little less seriously and try things out for yourself.
>>728933890DaS? Dark and souls?
>>728933578Even if that's true I've seen it before. When the first horizon game came out on PC there were threads believe it or not of people discussing it because they had t played it before and a sizeable number liked it at least gameplay wise . Same with the spider man games ratchet and clank the first god of war and ghost of sushi. Each one has threads upon steam release of people begging for torrent links. It happens literally every time. It's movieslop until it's on pc
GoW3 is a million times better than this "game". Right into the gameplay with an engaging story that had minimal filler and it wasn't trying to tell some awkwardly hamfisted story about masculinity between walk and talk sections. Anyways back to discord with ye.
>>728933909it "homes in" only when you are already 90% of the way over to them. It has no equivalent to distance closers / teleports / yanks in other action games that make 10m of spacing instantly mean nothing
>>728929061Hard to care about gameplay when it's in service of a game so tedious, boring, and annoying
>>728933984And yet such ORGANIC behavior never happens after the marketing firms go offline, ONLY during the release week. Curious!

>>728933945the gameplay isn't good and story and dialogue is written by SJWs>>728933984That's because PC got a huge diaspora of consolefags and casuals in the 2010s. Even forza fans hate forza, because it's casualized trash.

>>728933706There is truth in the you're poor argument though. I have a high spec PC. I can play whatever game I want regardless of recommended specs. People with lesser PCs and im not talking about RTX 3060s im talking about people who still use DDR3 and have a 10year old or more CPU/GPU. They cope by saying I was able to play [new AAA game] at 30 FPS but I had to lower settings etc. They want to play the AAA game and want to play it in 1080p 60fps or better but because their computer can't run it they say things like oh it's not worth playing anyway. Cope. If you want to play a game but can't because your PC would run it like shit and you can't afford to upgrade to a rig that is at least 7 years old or newer than your being poor is actively causing you to not play games you want to play or play them at like 720p 30fps including upscaling
>>728934041>People pirate a game, beat it, and delete it to play other games Yes this is PC we're talking about. What was your point ?
>>728934053>>728934103those aren't normal moves, you can't do them anytime on command like a basic part of the moveset. They have cooldowns. But if it had them as basic moves, it would only make it more similar to the standard DMC-like action game that /v/ loves, where spacing actually matters less than GOW. The people who complain about spacing act like it's a Souls game>Again at 26 secondsthats just a stationary runic attack? Then he sprints and does a sprinting attack
>>728934253Either no one has ever picked up a videogame after its release week or you're full of shit and a shill. I'm gonna go with the latter.
>>728929061Pretty much, yes.
>>728929142the combos are spectacle that take longer to kill enemies just smash one button

>>728929061he's a better men, of course his game has amazing combat
nuGOW isn't a Platinum Games game but its not a movie game either. It has decent combat that can be pretty interesting with little. I thought it would be worse than it actually is. The main bad part is that its a bad GOW, no more epic fight with grandstanding music. Doesn't feel very "godly" compared to the original trilogy.
>shoulder hack and slashworst type of genre since "horror comedy"
>>728929793most of them are given to the cheapest studio to make what is legally classified as a 'game' to be sold to children.plus, deadlines.Arkham wasn't a tie in game with the dark knight, so it had all the time it needed to be developed.
I don't like comboslop games, you hit the enemy a million times and he flips all over the place without dying, is this a god wielding a magic axe or a clown with a big inflatable bat
>noooooooooooo why isnt god of war comboslop or soulsslop i need to sweat my ass off and get stressed in my singleplayer gamesthis is why youre balding in your 20s
>>728929061Every button starts a cutscene move and the enemy exist only to take it all.
>>728933712It would be le unfair and le heckin' unfun if all the enemies attacked at the same time, so the enemy manager makes sure only one of them attacks at the same time.
>>728936827>if you press button an animation happens
>>728929061>enemies all stand around and watch you combo their cohort like in Assassin's Creed>le juggle, keep enemy airborne so they can't possibly fight back like DMC>constant AOE attacks to ensure your combo is never interrupted>enemies have massive telegraphs ensuring anyone with a 4 year old level of reaction time can spam their AOE>Doom style glory kills that keep you invulnerable while you finish an EPIC cinematic comboYeah this is fucking cancer. You'd vomit if you had to play Ninja Gaiden or Sekiro
>>728935707Teenagers are mad and writing gay fanfic about other anonymous posters because the combat in OP's webm does actually look bad.>Oh you don't like muh X??? You MUST be a fan of Y you shit eaterMany such cases of mental illness
>>728929061>weeb trashThe gameplay is literally just "button mash and see the fancy animation"which is the same exact trash as Genshin slop lol
>>728929061>air juggle the same guy for 10 minutesMovie game. All flair, no substance.
>>728930927>>728931031holy shit this game looks annoying to play>90% of combat is parry/dodgingoh... dark souls...
>>728930927>claims it's not a movie game>the only talking point of the "gameplay" is just the game showing fancy animations when you press square
Ever notice how whenever "combat" of this game gets posted its always just him randomly hitting 1 enemy that has way too much hp and it cant fight back
>>728930927>>728931031this would be way cooler if you were playing as a man

>>728931583Holy kek
>>728937379The Valkyrie fights were the only real standout fights in the game. Without those the game would be Arkham Asylum levels of braindead which is why it's such a journalist darling
Ragnarok was so shit
>>728931921>QTEdo snoyfags really?
I was going to write a long breakdown of everything that’s wrong with these games, but anyone who actually likes action games already knows. And discussing this with fanboys is pointless anyway, given their awful taste. Long story short: the nuGoW games are amateurishly designed games with zero replay value, even if you cut out all the walk and talk sections. Some single player games are still played years later because they’re simply fun and don’t waste your time. GoW 2018, ragnarok and many other sony games aren’t among them.
>>728933945no, it isn't a good game.it's a movie with some button prompts.
>>728929061wtf that's a pretty sick combo, all I ever did in this game was mash buttons
>Image literally showcase of high skilled player able to execute inputs that let them juggle the enemy perfectly, so the enemy doesn't have a chance to fight back>/v/ complain that the enemy can't fight back
>>728937052except an animation shouldn't do more than one move.
>>728929061sorry, too busy pushing crystals
>>728937871>replay valueof course they don't have replay value, that would mean you might replay the same game instead of buying the newest slop!
>>728937379The shoehorned in "rpg system" was such trash like I was literally getting one shot by trash mobs because the difference between level 3 and level 5 is that massive. Go Kratos, Go!
>>728929061All I remember from nyGoW was the input lagg, it was pissing me off throughout the entire game.
>>728936343yikes how old you're?
>Press X to become BETTERHoly FUCKING SNEED KINO
>>728929159But enough about nier and dmc
>>728933476
nuGOW is so bad even the God of War veterans are so disappointed by ithttps://youtu.be/9cX7W6fG9D8
>>728929061You press RT+Square or RT+X then a 3 second movie plays of you being awesome
>>728938734mashing the melee attack button while using Rebellion does nothing except repeat Combo A for eternity
>>728938130>high skillop, modern snoyfag games require 0 skill.and if 90% of your moves consist of keeping enemies from being able to attack, that's not good gameplay, that's babying the player.
>>728929061This does take a lot of skill
I never understand the "press x to awesome" meme. How else do you do fast combat in a game ? Imo the spider man games and the Arkham games have good combat lots of combos and gadgets to use especially in sm2. How is this any different from other action games like a ninja gaiden or DMC ? yes the characters move much faster but you're still pressing a bunch of buttons to perform combos. What is wrong with don't meme me legitimately explain because I don't understand
>>728930927This animations are stupid, with all those "telegraphs from next week". Look how actual combat manual from 500 years ago taught people to use the sword.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0z-8payTKs
>>728939095So exactly like GOW then?
>>728939336initiating a mini cutscene is not the same as DMC or NG where every button press is supposed to have a purpose with consequences
>>728929061You're absolutely correct OP, but it's pointless to try to argue this on this dogshit board made up of retards. Literally any point you make will get spammed with buzzwords by people who have no idea how the game actually plays.>The game has combat animations that are fancier than a basic weapon swing>/v/irgin response - wow literal movie game>The moves in the OP require 20 times the inputs that you'd do in an entire Elden Ring playthrough>/v/irgin response - LOL PRESS X TO AWESOME SO AMAZING LOL>The enemies are clearly attacking but the player is skillfully using AoE moves to crowd control>/v/irgin response - Why do the enemies just sit there? Why isn't 90% of the webm roll/parry spam like in a real game like Sekiro and Dark Souls?>Game lets you combo enemies but not juggle them in the air for 40 seconds>/v/irgin response - webms where the player character spazzes out in midair for half a minute juggling a single enemy, which is apparently supposed to count as "combat"Never mind all the faggots saying you're invincible during runic attacks which is just blatantly false.
>>728939110>require 0 skillPeople complain about juggling in DMC, yet the same person can't even juggle properly and just dies
>>728939727>initiating a mini cutscene is not the same as NGYou mean the series where you hold Y to AWESOME and watch Ryu do an extremely long autocombo which you can then keep chaining forever?
>>728935707you're not black
>>728940174that works in some scenarios but it's still not a movie game like GoW
>>728940709>that works in some scenariosLmao, it works for literally everything but boss fights.
sup niggas. played 2018 its great. I went ng+ highest difficulty and im getting smoked. should I go back and level up a bit? think im lvl 5. or should i just get good? kind of want to do this before getting ragnarok

>>728929061Do you guys just lurk Twitter and then repackage popular posts from there onto here now?
>>728939336Arkham's combat system is based on rhythm. the combat feels like a dance, rather than just animations playing.it's an extremely fine tuned system (at least in knight).nuGOW is just "press button, watch over designed, flashy move that was made to stimulate your dopamine"Arkham rewards players for timing, and battlefield awareness.nuGOW rewards players for pressing a button. This is proven by the fact that you can juggle enemies and never give them a chance to hit back.In arkham, if you aren't paying attention to your surroundings, enemies can get the drop on you.
>>728940174In Bayonetta, the first punch results in a single blunt hit with up to 9 bullets being shot.The same goes for the 2nd punch.The 3rd punch is similar, but you shoot 2 guns at once.If the 4th move is a kick, Bayonetta performs a round leg sweep, which topples most enemies in the game, while shooting 3 guns at once.The 5th move, the 2nd kick, is another leg sweep, again with 3 guns, but one of the guns is pointed in the opposite direction — to the back.The final move, the 3rd kick, is a falcon kick with 3 guns firing at once, complementing a powerful Wicked Weave (the length of the string affects its damage) that pushes an enemy away from you.And that was just single string.

>>728942013>the combat feels like a dance, rather than just animations playingDo you have any more buzzords and phrases you copied from your favorite YouTuber that don't actually mean anything?
Console fanboyism is a mental disease
The combat is decent but it doesn't have the depth the old games have since there's no aerial combat, the camera sucks as well for an action game where you're constantly getting attacked off screen.
>>728929061I shit on it because its woke trash
ironically less involved compared to the older god of war combat.
>>728942365The only old GoW that has any depth whatsoever is GoW3
>>728942223> What the fuck is this supposed to show> every button press is supposed to have a purpose with consequences> what does it have to do with Ninja Gaiden UTsNothing, obviously. I choose the game where every single move has a purpose, for a better showcase of the previous statement (which was not even made by me in a first place.).
>>728941310you should be fine in NG+. The game is way harder in NG (on hardest difficulty). Use the stance switch attacks when you have an opening; they do a fuckton of damage.Just try to constantly stun everyone with parries, slams, talismans, the boy and runic attacks so that they can't devil trigger + level up. They only try it once. They have a lot of health, so you kind of focus fire on who you can while you can, try and build up their stun meter before you have to turn around and go ham on the ones trying to hit you in the back
>>728929061damn you sold me. is this ragnarok? I have the first one but didnt finish it , it was good I just jump around games a lot
the god of war franchise has been literal QTE slop from the start
>>728942470>attack does damage>attack does damage>attack does damage>attack does damage and can knock enemies on the ground>attack does damage and can knock enemies awayGoW literally has all of that, do you think you sounded smart by taking a paragraph to describe basic shit that's in every action game ever?
>>728942676Can you give me a timestamp for the QTEs in the OP webm?
>>728929061GoW 1, GoW 2 combat feels waaaaay better than whatever this shit is
>>728942290>NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST ACCURATLY DESCRIBE THE COMBAT!!!!!!prove me wrong faggot.provide a better explanation of it then.you can't because you're a brain dead nigger.
>>728933476High octane deep ninjutsu action
>>728929515>you either play gachashit or snoy moviegames>no other options, it's either this or that
remember before the game 2018 came out when everyone thought you'd only fight like 3 enemies at a time max?
>>728929061This is literally press X for awesome>le you never played itI did
>>728930626why would a god of war bother defending against some basic bitch fodderfight a valkyrie, youll have to dodge, parry and blockand sometimes even turn away from a flashbang
>>728942917Why do the enemies just stand around?
>>728942849>prove me wrong faggot>provide a better explanation of it thenArkham combat is a glorified QTE where no rhythm whatsoever is required, you have an eternity to tap the counter button whenever you an enemy moving to attack you. It's the epitome of "press button, watch over designed, flashy move that was made to stimulate your dopamine". Not only that but the game is extremely limiting since a bunch of enemies have a "use this one specific move before you can start hitting them" mechanic, which is the only way they could think to add complexity to the combat since positioning and good timing are entirely irrelevant.
>>728929061>This combat is fucking insane. >Why have you maniacs been shitting on this game for years? Because it's better than your weeb trash?
>>728929521KEK
>>728943126You are correct because "press X for awesome" really just means good flashy animations
>>728943126It's not.>le you never played itI did.
>>728931031> OH MY SCIENCE
>>728931031its like they made a game out of the final boss from Uncharted 4
>>728943169Because enemies in almost every beat em up "just" stand around (Actually they are positioning themselves and orbiting around to fuck you up). It's called a token/mode system. It's both better for combat as it makes the games harder and more realistic(if they attack all at once they should bump into one another)
>this threadyYikes. Ya'll need to be better
the close camera really makes the combat look so cool. These are just basic light heavy attacks. I might replay this game. In lots of other action games your character is so tiny; the camera is zoomed out almost like Diablo and you can't appreciate the violence as much
>it's DMC, but with slo-mo, and the camera is too close
>>728944205literally too close. I feel like I can't breathe.
>>728944582That's how close range combat feels
>>728930927>>728931031Jesus Christ that looks like shit. I've seen 80 year old invalids who can swing and move faster than either the MC or the enemies. And is she in a fight to the death or a baseball game? Hard to tell with how ineptly she is swinging like a retard.

>>728943190lol, this is sheer copium.>IT'S JUST A QTE!!!!!!it isn't and you're a mentally retarded nigger for even thinking that.the freedom of combat is proof that it isn't, the fact that you can perform any number of moves you want in the combat zone, and are not stuck to just the buttons the game would tell you in a normal QTE proves that you're actually brain dead.you're probably shit at arkham, which is funny, because it's rhythm based, so that means you're too autistic to figure it out.we're done here, snoyfag
>>728929761this was so KINO. I always prefered it to GOW
>>728945689When Saints Row the Third came out, they called the sprint button the "awesome button" since it would trigger context sensitive actions also when pressed that were supposedly "awesome". Even way back then that was basically parody. There is nothing wrong with critique of QTE, Press button for lengthy cutscene animation, or literal press x to awesome.
>>728946583>screeches like an autistic child>HEHE we're done, I win hahaLmao>Arkham>Freedom of combatLMAO. As I mentioned, you retard, the game literally has specific attacks you MUST use against specific enemies otherwise you can't hit them. Also to go back to your first comment I replied to.>nuGOW rewards players for pressing a buttonYeah dude, I really miss those games that reward you for letting go of your controller and just sitting there.
>>728929061Spamming all that crap for simple mobs, lol
>>728946726>they called the sprint button the "awesome button" since it would trigger context sensitive actions also when pressed that were supposedly "awesome"And GoW doesn't have that. So you're critique is literally that some of the animations look cool, am I getting that right?
>>728929213I uninstalled it thanks to the weapon durability system
>>728946915>screeches like an autistic childsays the faggot who cries when people say arkham is good,lmao.blow it out your ass you dumb nigger.
>>728947069>GoW doesnt have that
I never understood why nu-GoW needs to be so fucking zoomed in. Kratos takes up half the damn screen and I hate it.
>>728946915>you must useexcept you can freeze enemies, you can electrocute them, you can beat the down, you can grappel them, you can destroy their weapons, etc, etc.please tell me more about how you dont know how to play arkham
>>728947237Can you point to the part in the OP where that happens?
>>728946997And how many segments of the game even look like that? No large enemies, no projectile enemies, no unique enemies of any sort. I've seen dopey criticism of DMC saying that you just wail on a non-reactive sandbag enemy (because their entire opinion of the game is apparently formed from seeing combo mad videos on YouTube) but here we have Kratos fighting the basic mook enemy over and over in a horde which probably only happens like once or twice near the beginning of the game. You probably won't have access to all those weapons and abilities and weapons unless you are on NG+ (Snoys don't replay their long-winded movie games, I'll let the trophy statistics speak for themselves) so that webm is a really poor representation of what it's like to play GoW.
>>728929061Its just Bamham, and noone does bamham better than bamham so you may as well just play bamham. If you like the story then just say that, but noone should be chomping at the bit for dollar general bamham
>>728947287>The game has multiple movesWhoa, that must the only game in the history of videogames where you can do multiple moves, I've truly underestimated how amazing Arkham combat is. Except doing almost all of that shit is pointless unless you're going up against the specific enemy that requires you to use that move to stun it before you can start punching it to death.
>>728929515Take meds
>>728947287The "moves"
>>728929851Take meds (again)
this shitty bait threat again. give it up, nigger. everyone older than 10 years old has played mount and blade and know what good combat's supposed to be like.
>>728929061Fancy animations and easy juggling don't make good or complex combat you mechanically blind retard
>>728947906didn't say it was revolutionary, dumb nigger, just said it's better than your sonyslop.cope harder nigger brain.i'm done with you.
>>728929142are you actually retarded
>>728948194How is it better you retarded nigger?>>728948179Name a game with good or complex combat you bitch?
>>728930697I believe every word of what this man said.
>>728929159Came here to say this, it looks fantastic but this whole sequence was about 20 button presses. Let me break it down for you:>Spin chain>Parry>Grab>Thow>Attack>Throw>180>Parry>Throw>Hard throw>Special attack>180>Switch weapon>Special attack>Switch weapon>Attack>(missed parry)>Attack>Special attackHaving actually played the game on the hardest difficulty, it plays like shit as well. The camera is atrocious. The lock on system is sticky and attacks home onto targets. The movement is clunky. The enemy variety is severely lacking and the bosses get reused. The RPG elements are meaningless, they don't effect the combat all that much it feels more like they were developed backwards (that the final skills were made and then nerfed at the lower levels to justify "RPG elements"). The itemization is poor, no item ever felt like a significant upgrade other than weapon unlocks but those aren't great either because they didn't want to force specialization so all the weapons are different wiffle bats. Most of the big story bosses are quick time event heavy (though this was so in the original series as well). The game takes control away from the player constantly while forcing you to walk slow or stand around while the story unfolds (you can blame half life 2 and gears of war for popularizing this). All in all it's a very pretty game with some great voice acting, that plays like shit but makes you feel cool for having pressed X to win and being rewarded with pretty animations.
>>728932012The non-interactive backstabbing animation is the worst part of the souls series. It's also the aspect most reminiscent of GoW
>>728929515you hit a nerve
>>728933280Now that we have Okami 2, what if......
