Why do people now prefer the greek trilogy?
Most people prefer Norse, it sold way more.
Always did
>>738900314It wasn't made by f slurs
>>738900314>now
does anyone have that webm that compares the first 10 minutes of 2 with 4? god what a disgrace modern sony is
>>738900727
>>738900314The cattle already moved on from the franchise so only the real fans are left. If they announce a new one, the faggots who pretend to enjoy it will come back like they always do.
>>738900314because the old ones didnt had anything story wise to make it memorableit was all "im angry hear me ROAAAAAR!" and every time they tried to explain why he is angry or go a little away from that for a sec it would be terrible made with no depththe only thing that had it going was the gameplay but that also aged like milk
>>738900314God of War 3 is the best God of War game
>>738900314>suddenly
>>738900962it's not even better 1
>>738900554sippy bippy
>>738901016next time try to make sense, Gupta
>>738900314Out of 10!
>>738900962It's honestly the worse
>>738900314Its more consistent and the games are shorter.
>>738900780Do you have the webm of the boat scene? It goes on for like three years
>>738900314They don't? The Norse games sold way more
Has really nice snake tits, especially 3
>>738901110
>>738900314Ones a game the other is a bad movie
>>738901160God of Walking:Dad Simulator
the gameplay is goodits not Ninja Gaiden good, but its pretty funyou can argue the story on 1 is the best, and 2 and 3 are kind of meh
Gow 1, 2, Chains and Ghost for me.For the aesthetic and tone alone I consider those four to be in one category.3 and Ascension are new gen stuff and are ugleh as fuck.
>>738901160Fucking movie game. Only reason this is even remotely "successful" is because it's piggybacking on an older existing IP.
>>738901160Why doesn't Kratos hold Atreus over his shoulder like he does the tree here >>738900780 and free up an arm
>>738901062God of War 1 is a superior game. I know what I said. God of War 3 was shit.
>>738900314It seemed to be pretty iconic and popular, I found a magazine with it, that was before the nu-one got released, idk if it sold more but then it had the popularity of the other to prop it dunno.
>>738900314They don't, really. The original games are pretty mediocre fare that basically all play the same and look the same. Then again 2016 and Ragnarok are also almost impossible to tell apart from each other so maybe thats just how this series is doomed to be like
now?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFmjUkKs768
>now
>>738901829>The original games are pretty mediocre fare that basically all play the same and look the samebrown zoomer moment
>>738901935It's the truth. Each individual og GoW game has no real identity of its own, the only way you can tell them apart at first glance is if the graphics are slightly better or worse, but visually and gameplaywise they're all pretty much the same game. People seethe about the new ones but Ascension made clear that the classic formula was completely depleted
>>738902091You can say the same about basically every series that didn't radically change the core gameplay with each entry... they have different stories, levels, enemies, bosses, weapons, etc. Same also applies to 2018 and FagnarokYou can also beat the entire trilogy in less time than it takes to beat (watch) a single Nu Onions of War game.
>>738901831Behead all gaming journalists. Hell behead "video gamers" as too. The well is so utterly poisoned the only way to salvage this shit is to delete the internet in its entirety.
>>738902091Nobody liked Ascension, doesn't mean we want whatever faggot shit the reboot was. Better to let the series die.
@738901764baited no one award
>>738902290meant for >>738901764
>>738902228Hell no. Even just looking at GoW's contemporaries, you can see that's a false statement. Compare DMC1 to DMC3, or MGS2 to MGS3, GTA Vice City to San Andreas, RE Code Veronica to RE4. PS2 was the era where game graphics, engines and gameplays were improving with each subsequent game, but GoW managed to remain utterly stagnant even after jumping to three other different consoles (even if two of those were portables)
>>73890116050% of the game is going around with the boat like this, until you figure out how to use the portals, BUT FOR WHATEVER FUCKING REASON THE PORTALS ALSO TAKE A SHIT TON OF TIME TO USE, sometimes you even have to think hard which one will take longer, the entire game is just non-stop padding over nothing.
>>738900314Because it has better gameplay AND story.
>>738902449God of War 1 to God of War 3 is as big of a jump as any of those games aside from MGS1, and that's more just because of technical limtations for the first game, and RE4 and CV aren't even in the same genre...
>>738901160Lol I was talking about the one with Karen from Daredevil. It also goes on forever
>>738902449GTA3, DMC1, MGS1, CV are all either early gen games compared to their late gen sequels, or were just a fifth gen game. God of War 1 and 2 were both very late Gen 6 games and they both are some of the best looking and playing games on the system, and God of War 3 came out only about halfway into PS3's lifecycle and still manages to be one of the best looking games on the PS3 (and a significant upgrade to 1+2), and has aged like wine, with some of the most epic bossfights and scale seen in any game to date.
>>738902658Yeah no shit, GoW 3 is on an entirely different console, and even then it still basically plays the same as 1 and 2. If we're bringing PS3 into the mix then the comparison gets even worse for GoW, look at MGS4 or DMC4 or GTA4
>>738900314They prefered it when nu GOW was announced, playing the game didn't change their minds, and Ragnarok was proof they were right to think the Norse games were downgrades. I'm not in love with the original God of War trilogy, but a game that's pretty good is better than Ragnarok where you're blown away how much they fucked up.
I would play a OT remake/remaster and I would definitely play Egyptian GoW. Hell maybe an Aztec GoW is even better.
>>738902449DMC1 was a horribly janky piece of shit with a godawful camera and lock-on system, DMC3 was the first game in the series that is actually playable. God of War 1 never had that problem, the camera and controls are miles better than DMC.>>738902830No the fuck it doesn't lmao. It looks and plays far better and the bossfights are of far grander scale than either of the earlier games. >look at MGS4 or DMC4 or GTA4You mean all three of which are regarded as downgrades?
>gamers love edgy>classic kratos is peak edge>nu-kratos is placed in a lame and gay setting>classic kratos got a proper trilogy>nu-kratos had a trilogy planned as well but they rushed everything with the 2nd game
>>738901160tfw born just in time to experience both the golden age of video games and the dark ages of video games
you chuds are so overdramatic, it's embarrassingnew GoW is fine. you don't have to love it but acting like it spells doom for the entire industry is peak autism (not the good kind)
>>738900314Blame Sweetbaby.inc for ruining the norse saga.
>>738902910All three of those games have an identity of their own. You can look at just a couple seconds of gameplay of any of those three games and you can instantly tell that they're that specific entry in their series, because the devs bothered to try new things, improve on the gameplay, the visuals or just the engine of the game itself. GoW 1, 2 and the PSP games look basically interchangeable from each other, the only moment of innovation being when 2 introduced the golden fleece parry and that's it. 3 looks fancier but at the end of the day plays the same, with the same mechanics and the same style over substance QTE scenes. I really hope the remakes they announced serve as an opportunity to make each game feel more like its own thing, because as they stand right now they might as well jsut be the same very long game that slightly changes its UI a couple times
>>738901160sony fans find this fun
>>738900314I only ever played GoW and GoW II. Why was GoW III considered shit? Beyond how they messed up Roman/Greek names.
>>738903369I don't remember them doing that and if you think the people who play these kind of games actually care about that then you're probably wrong, also it's too easy and they randomly introduced the plot beat that the gods were just crazy, it's like they couldn't decide if Kratos was right or wrong
>>738903167And all three God of War games have an identity of themselves, you just arbitrarily decided to say they don't. >You can look at just a couple seconds of gameplay of any of those three games and you can instantly tell that they're that specific entry in their seriesWhich you can do for God of War 1-3... you just aren't a fan of the games or haven't played them in many years to actually know any of the differences. Did they radically change the gameplay or themes? No, they refined the gameplay and gave you more of it, similar tons of loved sequels of the time.>same style over substanceWhen you're playing on easy? Absolutely. Now post your VH NUR or shut the fuck up.
>>738903369They fucked the story and Kratos' character by trying to pull a redemption thing out of their ass at the very end, they got cold feet on letting Kratos end up as an irredeemable villain so they gave him a surrogate kid (kinda like the new games honestly) and then dumped all the blame on everyone else but him
>>738903369God of War 3 was never considered shit, most people consider it the best in the trilogy.
>>738903631Most people are also retarded, I will not argue it has the best presentation but it's all flash and that's really all it has, 2 has the better gameplay and 1 has the better story if you actually care about that, I also guess the boobs are better
>>738903538For example: they went with Hercules instead of Heracles. But you are indeed probably right about people not caring. Also they probably did it on purpose, as Hercules is the more famous name. Also iirc they had Sorbo voice act him. Wouldn't have been the same if they went with Heracles.Also thank for your reply about the plot beats. I now remember hearing something about that back in the day.
>>738903167>gameplay refinement bad>why didn't they completely change the themes?>why didn't they make you play as Athena?>why didn't they make it a Soulslike?Also some of these games barely make any changes between them. MGS2 and 3? What's the major difference here? One is in a jungle? VC and SA? One is miami vice while one is a nigger simulator? DMC1 to DMC3? They finally made the camera only somewhat shit?
>>7389037373 has the best everything except story.
>>738903584What identity? 2 giving Kratos an armor? 3 throwing that ugly-ass 300 filter on the screen whenever you Spartan Raged? The formula, aesthetics and general feel of each game is largely identical every time. You could drop pretty much any room from 1 to Ghost of Sparta in any of the other three games and it'd be right at home. And what 'refined gameplay'? What mechanics are introduced other than the parry thing in 2?Hell, compare this series to fuckin pre-BOTW 3D Zelda. At the end of the day those games are all largely about the same gameplay loop, but each of them has a very distinct visual style, very distinct take on the gameplay and even the ones that literally reuse the same assets like Majora's Mask are able to feel like entirely new experiences. You simply cannot say the same thing about GoW, which might as well have gotten the Okami treatment of being three whole games stapled together
>>738903803>MGS2 and 3? What's the major difference here?Are you kidding me? Stamina system, hunger system, CQC system, camouflage meter, having to hunt, being able to sabotage enemy soldiers' food and ammo storages?>VC and SA?Okay now you HAVE to be kidding, the amount of new mechanics and options that SA introduced was fucking revolutionary back in the day
>>738903896>please spoonfeed me all the differences on these games>new story, levels, enemies, bosses, weapons, and mechanics is not enough, you must radically change the entire game formula and themesJust shut the fuck up already. >>738904039>Are you kidding me? >it added some half-baked shallow survival mechanics>Okay now you HAVE to be kidding>it has so many changes that I can't even name them!
>>738903803>MGS2 and 3? What's the major difference here? One is in a jungle?NTA but MGS3's entire aesthetic, from the cutscenes to the menus to the filters is based on old timey spy serials, whereas MG2 has a focus on futuristic stuff a la Ghost in the Shell
>>73890274660 dollaroos, plus tip
>>738903861Nah they fucked up with tying magic to weapons and then making 2 of them the same as the Blades, I don't remember as many bullshit challenge rooms as the other two either, no pushing the cage up the hill, no pulling the chain while skeletons murder you
>>738903896Same as Katamari, Ratchet & Clank, Sly, Metal Slug, DMC, NG, RE1+2, RE4+5, LBP, Animal Crossing, Halo, Mass Effect, DKC, Paper Mario, Final Fantasy, Super Mario Galaxy 1+2, Bioshock, Mega Man, Castlevania, Hollow Knight+Silksong, Gears of War, WW2 CoD, Modern CoD, Star Fox, Splinter Cell, 2D Sonic, etc etc
>>738904118>new story, levels, enemies, bosses, weapons, and mechanics is not enoughYes anon, that's what they call the bare fucking minimum to be considered a different game to begin with. It's just that most of everyone else also attempts to give each new entry on a series a flavor of its own. Another comparison: Prince of Persia Sands of Time to Prince of Persia Warrior Within. Same main character, similar mechanics, very different tone, aesthetics and general feel of the game, you'd never look at it and mistake it for SoT or the third game
>>738904424I would never mistake the God of War games either, but I would mistake games that I am less familiar with. Not sure what your point is here. To me Sands of Time and Warrior Within do look very similar, with only slightly different lighting being the only noticeable change, but obviously to someone who has played them both extensively they will notice the differences.
>>738904248Oh so it's not a meme and it really isn't his kid?
>>738904296You might have noticed I was focusing on games that existed within the same generation as GoW did for a reason, but also...you understand that a lot of those games you mentioned, like Metal Slug or Animal Crossing or CoD or whatever have exactly the problem I'm talking about, right? They're utterly stagnant to the point most of their games are hard to tell apart from each other, like you're basically agreeing with me there (and then there's insane shit like saying all DMC or NG games are the same, but you do you)
>>738904619>it's pure coincidence that the games I play the most and have the most experience with totally look and play different across entriesRetard.And yes, NG and DMC are some of the most samey and stagnant games there. Maybe DMC5 or NG4 shook up the series, haven't played those ones.
>>738903112I hate this...
>>738904619NTA, what you're complaining about isn't necessarily a bad thing. Turning a franchise into something completely different is far worse than simply improving the formula. I was a CoD guy, I played from 1 all the way through to WaW. Their fundamentals are great, it's a fun game to play. Every new game refines it a little bit and eventually I got bored of the series, I don't play it anymore, but that's not a bad thing. Nintendo has been making slightly different versions of the same game for years, most of their franchises are just the same great game for a new generation. Imagine if they had pulled a Star Fox adventures with CoD, added a nonsensical plot and some repurposed bargain bin characters to a game that should have kept being a rail shooter and ended up attracting a new fanbase of obsessed people who jerk off to cartoon animals thus ruining the chance of ever getting another good rail shooter. The old God of War games were great, I probably would have played a 4th one if it hadn't been shackled to the limitations of a handheld but there was nowhere else for it to go after they slew the entire greek pantheon. I would literally play a clone of GoW game and have, I've played Bayonetta. If they made a new series that played just like the old ones but instead Kratos was slaying all the gods of egypt, it would have been universally praised. I would have played the shit out of that. Instead they tacked Kratos' face onto a dad walk simulator (and not even a good dad walk simulator, there are far better dad walk simulators out there) and attracted a bunch of new fans who want to jerk themselves off about how mature they are for playing a "serious adult" video game. What you're arguing is that a franchise should fundamentally change the core gameplay with each iteration and I think that's a total load of shit. People still pay doom wads because the core gameplay is fun and with wads you get to play new levels. Fuck secondaries.
>>738900780Kek literally the context for this
>>738907827>>738900780Forgot pic
>>738907119>secondariesSecondaries ruin everything.Star Fox - A rail shooter that got turned into a shitty version of banjo kazooie, which was already a shitty version of spyro which was already a shitty version of super mario 64.Portal 2 - Took a horror series known for it's extremely dark universe and turned it into millennial writing happy funtime quip hour.God of War - Took a silly series about a retard raging so hard that he killed an entire pantheon of gods into a thuper therious melodrama about raising a brat whose mom died.Legend of Zelda: Took a series about exploring dungeons and saving the princess and turned it into ubislop.MGS: took a series about sneaking around industrial warehouses and turned it into nanomachines son before turning it into ubislop.Secondaries ruin everything and what's worse is it always splits the fanbase into people who loved the games for their gameplay and people who love the secondary elements like their characters or storytelling. You can never make a Zelda game that will satisfy everyone interested ever again because the new fanbase wants an open world survival crafting collection and the old fanbase wants a linear game about item progression in dungeons.And this is coming from a literal secondary, someone who started the fallout franchise with 3 and NV, hasn't played the old ones, and realizes that although I enjoyed those games, they are oblivion with guns and shit all over the legacy of the first two. I think Fallout 1 and 2 fans deserve another CRPG in the same universe, but they're never gonna get it because fallout shifted gears again and became a base-building looter shooter, which is something neither the original fans or the secondaries wanted. Fallout fans at this point are tertiaries, fans of the show are quaternaries. You're never going to make a product that satisfies all 4 fanbases, they've all got different wants and expectations.
>>738904554If it really is his kid they tried really fucking hard to make you think it wasn't.
There are more memorable quotes and dialogue lines from the original GOW than nu gow
>try to play the ps4 game on rpsc3 or whatever>steady 60 fps at 1080p>cant play on keyboard because million stick commands>dont have a padi didnt want to play anyways
>>738901664>moviegameThis is disrespectful. Movies usually have an actual direction and their creators care about density and not wasting wievers' time.
>>738901160This could have been decent if there was a timer and you were actually attacked by enemies all the time. But those things are now considered "annoying" and "inconvenient"
