What's the verdict?
10/10
>>740995154Santa Monica will pull an Ubisoft and boast about how much engagement the game has without any mention of sales for months. Eventually the Earning's Call will reveal it sold considerably less than any God of War to date. Quiet layoffs will happen as devs and their journo buddies blame you for the crime of doing nothing.
>>740995154It will sell 25 million copies and be universally praised just like their last two games, but chuds will pretend it flopped just like always
is she going to suck the dwarf's dick?
having a blast
the gameplay looked fantastic and I was getting sick of playing kratos anyway
I have femoid protagonist fatigue. It feels like 99% of all new games have female protagonists and all male focused franchises like god of war and witcher are now killing off their male protag to replace them with dykes. So sick of femoids.
>>740995154CUBEtos solos your verse
>>740995852I didn't play the last few because you're tethered to some lame-ass kid and the combat looks clunky with a bunch of slow ass axes etc.Seems like the original games it was much more fast paced swinging around your chain blades being the center of the story, press circle to fuck journey through hell itself collect heaps of soulswhat happened to that game? and now after patiently waiting for the kids right of passage saga, they make it about a woman? fucking snoozefest, YAWN boooring
>>740995154honestly wouldn't be bad if they used a cute girl and not a 80 year old grandma. I won't be buying it playing ugly characters kills my mood and immersion
>>740995154>What's the verdict?
>>740995154wokeslop
Frank is a fantastic character love his snarky quips and banter with faye
>>740996102Same, I just can't get enough of quipslop!
>>740995154It's a game literally no one asked for, full of lame theatre kid writing. They literally had that fraudulent attention whore Streamer/YouTuber wgo stole peoples art and pretended it was hers write on the game, and she's not even a writer! It's slop of the highest order. Ultraslop. Megaslop. Superslop.
Who the fuck cares.Are you a woman?
>>740995154the extreme sony cinematic formula, specifically them interrupting active gameplay for you to be lurched around for extended periods of time, watching that trailer it just came off as stale and tacky this point. god of 2018 was 8 years ago and they're still making the exact same game.
CUBECUBE CUBE CUBE CUBE CUBE CUBE CUBED CUBED IM CUBING HELP
>>740995154'Lorfy'? 'Low-fee'? 'Law-fay'? 'Lao-fey'? Terrible idea for a name. 'Hi, one copy of Loe...Lao... Call of Duty'
Totally CUBEular!
>>740995154>whore's only power is her fucking boxCan't make this shit up.
>>740995154>I am no manI clapped
GoW sucked after the 3rd game. Kratos should have stayed a tragic character what do you mean he went on to have a new family while the ashes of his wife and kids are still stuck on his skin
>>740996561>CUBE CUBE CUBE CUBE>CUBE CUBE CUBE CUBE>CUBE CUBE CUBE CUBE>CUBE CUBE CUBE CUBECube, squared
>>740995263>making it ultimately meaningless>game flops>entire companies go bankrupt>triple A studios lay off thousandsActually laughed out loud, retard
>>740995263I remember when people were saying this about Assassins Creed: Shadows, and now we're finding out that Ubisoft is dangerously close to bankruptcy.What a world.
>Laufeygween tea~
>>740997005>GoW sucked after the 3rd gameOnly the first game has a decent story
I don't know, I wanted to watch the trailer but all I found was like 30 minutes of gameplay.
>>740995154It’ll probably be a decent game
The fact that it makes incels seethe so much is proof it’s GOTY material.
>>740995154slow initial sales, with an increase or decrease depending on if it ends up being good.Storywise? Literally why, they set up this entire splitting path for Kratos and Atreis, why make a game following the dead mom? Also the very existence of this game makes me worried that they'll bring her back to life, which is a fat crock of shit. The literal only thing I'm excited about story wise is that since it takes place in a land of dead gods we might get to see Fey be confronted by the gods her husband killed, but since it seems mostly Mayan themed I doubt it.
Laufey the le hecking vampire layer
>>740997819>mostly Mayan themedlol
>>740995154
>>740995852You will never be a woman.
>>740995154How do you even pronounce Laufey? Like "coffee" with an L?
>>740995154Looks like criticalquirkchungusroll nonsense which will ironically abolish female lead characters even further.But it's AAA so of course it will work "well enough" as a video game just like AC Shadows.
>>740997945And I thank god everyday for that small mercy.
>>740997819why do I HAVE TO KEEP EXPLAINING THISIT IS DELIBERATE IN ORDER TO HELP DEMORALIZE YOU, A WHITE MAN, AND HASTEN YOUR EXTINCTION AND REPLACEMENT. REMOVING AND REPLACING MALE CHARACTERS IN MEDIA IS PART OF THAT PLAN.
>>740998026its pronounced 'lauw-fee'
>>740998026>>740998364It's an atrocity what the English language has done to the Latin alphabet
>>740999212i mean you arent wrong but in this particular case the name/word laufey doesnt come from latin
>>740995154It's not out. I don't care. God of War is a lousy franchise with terrible combat and the reboot games were full of modern day problems. I don't have any interest in this. The lead is pretty so that would be the only thing that gets me to consider playing it.
>>740995227/thread
>>740999212Isn't it interesting how the Latin alphabet does not form a single word when the letters are listed in order:ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZWas that done deliberately and why do they have that order in the first place?
>>740999459Also isn't it crazy how it was probably one person or maybe just a handful of people who decided on that order of the alphabet thousands of years ago and how that is now represented in the brains of billions of people
>>740999459but it doesright smack dab in the middle it forms NOit also forms a name STU though ill grant you that stu is kind of a rare name these daysit also forms HI
>>740999597You're right. Now I'm curious how many longer words there don't have multiples of the same letter in them
>>740995154I think it would've been better to call it Laufey A god of ear story but whatever.Also it's retarded to ask for a verdict when the game isn't out yet.
>>740995154I give zero fuck/20Go away with your grandmother.
>>740995263Unfortunately you're right, it's a shame they're butchering the franchise and the masses eat it up
>>740995154Another console player humiliation ritual
It will be slop failure. No one truly cares about Kratos 2nd wife. No one wants to play as a stronk woman even if she is god like. They could have made her badass but she looks bad as well…
>>740995154Aside from the fact that it's obviously a fucking clown game, how are we supposed to have a verdict when it's not even out yet?
>>740995852>I was getting sick of being a better manThat's not very enlightened of you.
her hair clips through her armor, which is baffling, because you think if theyre making a woman game theyd actually care about that, but its all performative, and they give even less fucks than if a bunch of misogynists worked on the game
>>740995852We must be better women
This actually will flop, literally no one but the most cucked redditor troons want to play as some 50 year old sun damaged woman
>>740995154Laufey is an American smooth-jazz singer, not a video game
>>741002627lel based xchad
>>741002627CUBE SAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>740995263Idk, whenever my normie family members would catch me playing as a female character, they'd call me gay and laugh at me. I can't imagine all this feminization is going over well with normies. That or they really do be putting gay chemicals in the drinking water.
>>741002519zoomers will love it though
>>740995154her character design is garbage, kratos design is very iconic: buff dude with pale skin and red markings. Now try to describe the laundry lady in one sentence.
>>741002783Zoomers are unironically the most sexist generation though, what are you talking about
>>741002827Honestly even the fucking cube is more memorable than her
it's a gem
>>741002627Fenix needs to learnhe needs to be betterto DO better
>>740995154I know it's the name of the character but it's honestly such a shit name for a game.
>>741002852zoomers love asexual garbage
>>740995154The second it got announced, it immediately received 50 10/10 scores. They already have the articles made and ready to publish.Without playing this game, I have no doubt you could write an article about how "great" it is.>The dramatic storytelling follows Laufey as she overcomes her personal strife and the loss of her family...Or some such nonsense. Throw in some shit about how the combat is "visceral" and "brutal" and how she totally kicks ass.These journos have the easiest job known to man. A job where you don't even need to know what to do.
woke slop out of 10
>>741002931I don't
>>740995154Not out yet but the combat is already better than Dad of War 1 and 2.
>>740995154>Sony movieMy skin is white as snow
>>741002827ginger minge
>>741003320oh so thats's who they designed her after
>>740995154very obviously they didn't know what to do with the franchise, and kratos more speficially. so instead of going full house and making a completely new main character, they went for the middle way and went for something connected to the other games to bait people into buying it and see if the series can creat appetite even without kratos.that said, it reeks of desperate when you have to make your sequel about a character no one gave a shit about who is already FUCKING DEAD. like what kind of story are you even telling here? she's dead, period, she wasn't a character, she was a plot device.anyway, critics will praise it because it's one of those games, it will probably sell ok but underperform compared to their hopes, and they'll be forced to bring kratos back
>>741002747Imagine calling your son gay cause hes looking at women. I'm so sorry you grew up in an abusive household senpai
>>741003574>like what kind of story are you even telling here?A stupid as fuck feminist one that only cares about being a vehicle for activism
>>741003574Man how can they not know what to do with Kratos? Just send him somewhere else with a pantheon of gods, give him a reason to go on a rampage and there you go, it'd be a nice fresh start too, forget about Atreus and all this garbage
>>741004056yeah it would be that easy if gow didn't become a mediocre brawler more interested in being a movie because that's what baits awards and normies in.I'm actually surprised they didn't just do a time skip and have loki being the main protagonist, but I have no fucking idea of how popular the charactyer actually is.
>>740995263Keep that mantra going, irony is a bitch.
>>740995980Control: Resonant is the game for you!
>>741004137>what baits awards and normies innormalfags like whatever they are being told to like, it's the decision makers at sony who want every game to be a cinematic lesbian experience
The verdict is death by electrocution.
>>741003935>looking at women.Thats not gay but inserting as one is
>>741002747>whenever my normie family members would catch me playing as a female character, they'd call me gaywell at least we know why you trooned out jfc
>>740995263Surprise surprise i work at a bar and the majority of people who enter it are retarded pure pottery
>>740995154propably gonna be a solid 8/10 at least
>>740995251Flawless assessment.
>>740995154>>740998026>>740998364If this really does end up being some weird stuff around Arthurian legend and the cube is meant to be part of the lake from the lady of the lake stuff and the sword is Excalibur, I wonder if the stupid name is also going to wind up as a reference.That she's going to somehow come out of all this and be reborn with huge magic power and take on a new name of "Morgan Laufey" but the stupid brits won't be able to understand her well and mishear the name as "Morgan le Fey" or some BS like that.
>>740995154Fun air combos, too many cutscenes
>>740995154I'm so utterly convinced the anon to the left is right on the money I saved his post.oh and yea, it's shit/10, not only is the MC a hag, they turned Sekhmet into yet another ugly girlboss.
>>741006168This post is the only other instance where I heard this theory besides >>741006274Are you the poster in the screenshot? Or is this already a well established theory?
>>741006394Nope, I'm a different poster. Haven't seen anything about it besides people saying there'd be some ties to Arthurian legends possibly and if so that twist on the name seems obvious given how close the names are.
KRATOS LOOK I TURNED MYSELF INTO A CUBE
>>740995154>ugly mc>fights like a girl>tranny-codedinto the trash it goes.
