Why was this allowed to happen? Why does this keep happening to us gamebros? I think I remember reading the original writer not being happy with its direction either.

Allowed?
It was specifically the desired outcome.

When are you retards going to understand that profit motive is dead? Cultural hegemony is all any large company, or the corporation that owns any given large company, cares about anymore. Blackrock could not give any shits if a children's entertainment product sells well. They have more money than god. They DO care if a cultural icon that has anything positive to say about male behavior is destroyed. They tried it with god of soi but it wasn't enough, so now they will make something so bad you will hate the old stuff retroactively.

Looking around and asking "why is this happening?" is retard behavior. We've been telling you why its happening for a decade. They hate you and want you to be a slave or dead. Anything that might have vague associations with not being dead or a slave will be torn down and smashed.

I think there’s some cool aspects to it like you don’t know which mythological characters will show up and the way the ribbon latches onto enemies looks fun, the spinning around with the sword kind of reminds me of Heavenly Sword.

Said no one ever. The game will sell by virtue of being part of the God of War franchise, but it won't sell as well as 2018 or Ragnarok. Both sold 23m and 15m respectively. Even another Kratos-led game would probably be less than 15m. With Faye, it'll be roughly 7-10m. Not a disastrous flop, but certainly nowhere near enough for Sony to go "OH YEAH, KEEP PUMPIN THOSE OUT!!!"

I would not buy a new god of war game with kratos. they are terrible video games. I especially won't buy the same terrible game but with a woman.

I'm honestly all in favor of replacing Kratos with a new protagonist but the way they went about it was dumb as fuck.
>using a character that's already dead and plopping them in a clusterfuck afterlife setting with a bunch of random mythologies mixed together
>instead of starting a new story in a fresh mythology with new mechanics
It has extreme "pointless spin-off" energy too, basically Norse GoW's version of Ascension. Why they decided to fuck up the Norse saga by changing it from a trilogy to duology but then approved this is beyond me.
HOWEVER the gameplay does look fun. The writing may have fallen off a cliff but the combat designers are still cooking. If the exploration improves on Ragnarok then the game might still be worth playing even if the story sucks.
>>
>>741460359
IMO the premise is dumb as fuck BUT if they plop some Greek gods Kratos killed in there and make some drama out of it then it could be salvageable. Bonus points if they bring back the old voice actors.

It's going to sell well just because it's called “Good of War”; for that reason alone, normies will buy it in mass.
Now, whether people will like the game or not is another matter. It’s clear that the studio wants to move on from Kratos, but unfortunately that’s going to be very difficult. God of War is inextricably linked to Kratos; at this point, it’s impossible to create a character even half as beloved as he is.
The worst part is that they want to replace kratos with a female Kratos. I don’t know how they don’t get tired of trying this crap. Unfortunately for them, a female protagonist who’s good in combat only works if she’s also beautiful, I’m not saying she has to be as sexy as Eve, but she at least has to be a Lara Croft, a girl who can climb, fight and do acrobatics without messing up her hair, basically, a female Dante.
Only a male warrior can afford to be both brutal and cool; a good female protagonist has to be strong yet beautiful and elegant, she should fight more with technique than with brute force.

I might be wrong in the end, and everyone might actually like her, but judging by the game’s screenshots, she’s going to be the typical empowered woman with a non-human companion who’s only there to support her. I saw that stereotype in Forspoken, Below Zero and The Riftbreaker. I didn’t grow attached to any of those characters and probably no one will grow attached to her either, simply because Kratos is too beloved for another character to come along and overshadow him.

Genuine answer, non /pol/ thought? They kinda shot themselves in the foot by naming it like a mainline GoW game

You can only respect the genius behind AI33, not because of the game but all the meta behind it:
.Takes jrpg formula and removes all the friction and corny of the genre.
.Mixes it with the Last of Us formula to attract westoids.
.Poses as an indie to sell the underdog tale.
.Takes money from Black Rock with the singular black character in it.
.Kills off said character early on to sell the chuds the idea of the white man's hope game.
.Parade the devs on social media to turn them into celebrities.
.Take money from the french government.
.Take money from the chinese government (Kepler is funded by Netease).
.Take money from your billionaire dad.
.Buy every single award in TGA.
.Have a movie already in development before even coming out.

When you think about it it almost feels forged in a laboratory everything surrounding that game. Truly something that only Palpatime could have come up with.

You fags, fans of the gay ass dad of bore, allowed this to happen. It's because of you cucks this happened. Kratos went from an unapologetically masculine asshole to a complete bitch boy, an ass kicking monster to a geezer walking around with a little punk that gives him shit, and you were all for it. This is just the natural progression of that woke pussy shit. 2018 and Ragnarok sucked tranny dick, as a GoW fan I'm enjoying the tears.

The thing is, it's only got "God of War" in tiny little low-contrast text above the big-ass LAUGHEY in high-contrast bold purple.

Ragnarok actually saw something like a 33% drop in sales compared to nu-GoW. The first one sold like hotcakes because people saw it and went
>holy shit new GoW on new console and now Kratos is fighting the norse gods
but something like a third of the audience dropped off that shit for the sequel because it was not nearly as good as the earlier games.
Taking that same formula and replacing the one reason people are still playing this shit with a busted old hag isn't going to succeed. Having Kratos go through magical afterlife land fighting who-fucking-cares with his companion cube would have sold like shit compared to Ragnarok, doing all that and replacing him with some busted old hag is practically sending it out to die.

Guarantee they'll bring back Ares and either have her as the tutorial boss for her to beat the shit out of without breaking a sweat to rub it in that she's better than Kratos, or have her forgive him and him be her ally to also show that she's better than Kratos and she's cucking him in the afterlife

EA already gave you the answer when Veilguard came out. These publishers are desperate to increase both console sales and total software sold, which isn't happening because consoles can't move beyond the sales ceiling of the PS2 despite games taking more and more years to make and costing more and more money. These pusblishers are convinced fanboys will buy anything their developer overlords make, and so in a desperate attempt to increase their sales they make games with more and less sexualized/more badass women (we need more woman players), less white men (we need more blacks/latino players), more gays (we need to reach beyond heterosexuals)
All of these games started development when these devs and publishers truly believed this was the secret sauce, that suddenly all those women that never touched a videogame would show up if the protagonist was like them. It's only in the last 2 years reality came back knocking at the door but what can you do when games take 8 years to make and even changing the smallest thing would require an extra delay?
Ironically, looking at popular women focused games, Love and Deepspace proved the real way to get them to buy and spend on games was to go full otome coomer instead of uglifying everything. Truly shocking
>>
>>741469723
It'd be a 30-50% drop from Ragnarok's sales, it wouldn't even be enough to recoup the development costs.

TLOU2 did so well they canceled the multi-player component, never made any DLC, haven't mentioned it once in 7 years, and have no plans to continue the franchise.
Horizon will die when the 3rd and 4th flops to its name release in a few months. It had a failure of a VR game no one played and a failure Lego game no one played so once they clear the hurdle of hero shooter no one played and MMO no one played hopefully we can move on as a society.

NTA but if they didn't want people to make the joke about it constantly they wouldn't have called the game that or given her a completely out of place glowing companion cube.

but failing to realize that women don't give a shit about COD or third person shooters or Madden or anything that guys tend to like, and they especially aren't going to change their mind if you put a bunch of out of place talking segments and "emotional beats" in it because you're trying to make it more like Downton Abbey or whatever the fuck you think women like.

Of course they didn't because no young girl or young adult woman wants to play as some ugly hag bitch.

They don't want to be a sexless ugly samurai lesbian with a shitty fucking attitude anymore than they wanted to be Captain Marvel. They're not even seriously trying to win over girls.

The game feels like a shitpost, even the name. It obviously wasn't intended to be this way, but I'd have respect for the devs if they went "fuck it" and rewrote things mid-development so it's not meant to be taken seriously.
>>
>>741470549
Honestly I think it's to do with them not understanding women at all and let's face it, few do.
They see women complaining and tearing down other women that are more attractive than them and their takeaway from that is
>got it, women want to play as ugly bitches! can do!
when in fact it's the exact opposite. Women want to see -themselves- as attractive and they don't want other women to be more attractive than them.
Making an uggo character isn't going to draw women to your game because it's a reminder that they're not attractive. Making a hot character isn't going to draw them in either because their natural jealousy will kick in.
If you want women to play a video game, it's got to be some bland inoffensive shit like a match-three or Farmville/Animal Crossing style shit with completely inhuman characters. The kind of things they play on their phone on their lunch break.

it looks like a fine enough spin off and par for the course with Sony AAA nonsense, and that's all it really is, like the uncharted lost legacy game, or that tlou dlc. in both of those, you play as the girl side characters. sony santa monica are high on the fact that they think what they've been making with gow is some kind of high art masterpiece. the greek games very openly stated it was going for a cinematic style in order to tell its story, so when the norse games took that torch and ran with it, they decided to try to be more """"serious""""
but the games arent serious, its action shlock and only meant to serve as motivation for kratos revenge plot, but to be more """"serious"""" they need him to think revenge is bad, giving him the most banal, base level nothing growth anyone with a room temperature IQ would come up with. its bland and boring and misses the point of gow completely.
even when the first norse game came out barlog specifically wanted to "remove aspects of the character" until only the necessary parts remain and hes "still kratos"
so why is it necessary for kratos to still have ashes stuck to his skin and the blades of chaos? because if he didnt, he wouldnt be kratos. thematically, he shouldve learned and broken the curse when he killed the pantheon of greek gods, but he's basically indiana jones with the trademark hat and whip. even halfway through the barlog game, they give him back the blades of chaos, because without the hat and whip you wouldnt recognize indiana kratos.
thats how far removed norse kratos is from kratos in the greek games, without the devs literally reminding you every moment that this is in fact kratos, it wouldnt be kratos.
so now the torch is being held by people who think kratos isn't the selling point, like an indiana jones movie without indiana, its a fundamentally broken idea.

It was in development long before the Chuds defeated the wokelings in the war of retardation. She will likely be a Mary Sue type character that gamers won't relate to and chuds will hate. It will probably do fine in sales, but not quite reach the level of GoW games featuring Kratos. I'm sure the graphics will be excellent and the combat smooth, though.

Tbh it just doesn’t even look like a GOW game like from a gameplay and presentation perspective it’s not even so much the lack of Kratos. Uncharted Lost Legacy still seemed like an Uncharted

Mindless in a way that you cannot even fathom. A good portion of male gamers subconsciously do not want to play as a woman because they are self inserters. The closer their alignment to ball and gun gamers the higher the correlation. That's the real reason horizon as a series struggled despite the insane pack in astroturfing. You aren't going to see these guys represented by chud media screeching about cute girls. These guys are silently opposed to women in the mc role of games as a principle, but they don't care enough about gaming start or join in the conversation.

Nu GoW games are basically new IP with Kratos character design carried over as him as a character is also completly different person too. Only thing they have in common is Kratos design and melee combat but combat is Action RPG based and completly different too. People dont care. All these reboots and nu GoW games are easily by far most different games design wise from original games. Completly different design,writing,combat everything basically while other reboots at least have some things in common.

Sony's audience doesn't love Kratos, they don't even know what it feels like to love a game, to have actual fun while playing it. They are consoomers, and that's because Sony's model now is the most cooky-cut, low friction, mass appealing, lowest common denominator, hollywood bait slop, it's the type of games that almost anyone can like but very few people will remember 2 years latter, the quintessential AAA game.
