I'm sorry but I really thought from the thumbnail that Kratos was pounding the fuck out of a hot foxgirl from behind...

Funny, I visited my dad's house today and my little 14 year old bro asked me to help him emulate this. It worked pretty well, even on a little HP craptop. Was proud to see him beat the first level on normal difficulty and figure everything out on his own (I never played any God of War games). Didn't know there was tits in it though. I don't care but I hope his mom doesn't find out.

It's a part of the en-chick-ification of all media. Over time, all forms of media have slowly drifted towards being made for chicks... and eventually made by chicks. I'm not entirely sure what causes this, but it's been a phenomenon that's been going on for decades now. It's gotten so bad with literature that ways to make your story appeal to chicks is now a pretty well ingrained part of the "rules of writing" with fiction.

Men tend to care about the things themselves. Women tend to care about people and relationships surrounding a thing. God of War used to be a hack'n'slash game with a story about a angry murder man Spartan out for revenge against the gods to justify the hack'n'slash gameplay. The story served the thing itself. Now its about how the fallout of being a angry murder man Spartan out for revenge against the gods made various characters feel and how it has affected their relationships. It's also much more of a movie with only a seemingly token amount of gameplay. It is a classic case of something being made to appeal more to chicks.

They still are just video games.

They never were.
Tetris was always a metaphor for capitalistic labor abuse in construction and how it results in buildings collapsing.

Why did moviegames get so big anyway?

David Cage kept making moviegames and they kept faceplanting. What gives?

No ammount of "mature" storytelling can compensate for fun gameplay

TLOU2 and it's copycats like nuGoW are trying their damnedest to be movies instead of video games.

GoW was always a mid series. All games play the same and basically look the same, there was basically no new ideas after the first game

what a frustrating second half of the game

>>726014913
David Cage games were true moviegames with retarded plots written for Tumblr users, there was barely any videogame on it and the longer you tried to push with the videogame part of them, the more stupid and unprofessional their presentation looked. There are several parts in Heavy Rain, Detroit BE and such where you HAVE to make a choice and you are not allowed to do anything else but press X or O.
Nu-GoW and TLOU have enough "game" in it to make it feel like you are actually using your controller for something meaningful beyond QTEs to balance out the long, drawn out sections of their campaigns that are just 2 people talking about their life issues.
