@JJ2 Voicing concerns on this site isn’t allowed. First person games make some people nauseous and that’s why they would like a third person option, I guess that makes them the bad people. FPP is fine when I’m aiming, but through an entire game as big is this? Can’t do it. But that’s a problem for the “hardcore gamers”.
@BAMozzy Stop riding CDPR for a second. A first person game like this is sure to make some people nauseous & ruin their experience, doesn’t make them pathetic or anything else. I’d say more, but this site caters to soccer moms. Immersion means nothing if I’m going to feel sick while playing.
@mkonji Doesn’t surprise me at all. You’re calling people Xbots just because they aren’t putting a PlayStation game on a pedestal? You just make yourself look stupid.
@PS_Nation “Viking folk”. Not all Norsemen people were Vikings. Cry me a river. If you’re going to get offended and resort to reporting because you can’t say anything in defense of your favorite game, you shouldn’t try to debate with people who think otherwise. Bear McCreary only has one serviceable track because it’s heard multiple times throughout the game & not for the right reasons. God of War 3 came out nearly a decade ago, yet the Hades boss fight music is still more memorable than anything on the new soundtrack.
@mkonji Not having a high opinion of everything with PlayStation on it automatically means I’m an Xbox fan. Got it. Anyway, you & the two that liked your comment are more than welcome to search Sage_Roy on PSN & see what I play
@dark_knightmare2 I never said the sites that gave the game the awards are biased. I said the PlayStation focused sites are biased, are a lot of you so caught up in your own PlayStation world that you have to take offense to everything said against PlayStation? In my eyes god of war is good & serviceable, but not an achievement because it doesn’t do anything that is noteworthy or special, everything in that game has been done before. God of War isn’t the first series to reinvent itself & be successful at it. In this fanbase it’s impossible to voice negative opinions about a playstation exclusive without the fans assuming someone just hates the game.
@RawnDawn He wanted me to talk about the soundtrack so I did. And I said my rant was small & I never said I don’t like God of War, I said think it’s a good game but it’s way too overhyped.
@PS_Nation It’s obvious PS Sites are biased. The first reason is because PlayStation or something related to playstation is in the name, fanboy. The soundtrack is as forgettable as the re-skinned troll fights, can’t tell anyone a single score apart from the main theme that keeps on playing in different tones. Adds no emotional depth to anything. I’ll give you a list of games with better soundtracks than this.
@jFug I feel like it was easier to do combos in MK9, Johnny Cage & Smoke were my best fighters but when MKX came out I wasn’t feeling playing as Johnny Cage the way I used to.
I didn’t think Mortal Kombat could get any gorier, then it did. I remember doing one of Kenshi’s fatalities where he held Reptile in the air by his rib cage, I couldn’t eat after seeing that... I’d love for them to remaster or make a sequel to Shaolin Monks next.
I just hope they take the jump scares away from the krypt. The Wolf was more of a suprise than a scare, but as soon as a spider got got in my face I left the krypt and never went back.
God of War is a good game and all, but people are riding it a little too much. Okay, maybe way too much. Just to say a little, Tetris Effect & RDR2 have better soundtracks. God of War’s music was pretty mediocre & forgettable. Christopher Judge did fine, but he didn’t deserve best performance. Kratos was either stern or calm, didn’t really feel anything for him. I would’ve nominated Atreus’s voice actor because he’s just much better & everything I enjoy about him, I hate about Kratos. Apart from god of War, Arthur Morgan & Spider-Man felt like real people with emotions told through their voice and facial expressions. You can’t tell me these sites aren’t biased.
I hope they revive their old franchises. Ratchet & Clank, Jack & Daxter, the good stuff. That’s what I miss about the PS2 era, the games were games and not interactive movies. They were really fun to play and from what I remember the developers weren’t trying to shove their political crap into it, nor did they constantly use profanity to make the game seem “mature” (I’m looking at Brok) If they aren’t going to do anything with their games then give them to someone else.
@LegendOfStewart No other game has impacted me that much, and I never played the first one. Losing Arthur Morgan felt like I lost a close friend. It’s crazy how one character can grow on you so fast & then completely destroy you, I didn’t cry or anything but I was heartbroken. I feel bad for people who didn’t finish the game because they feel like they need to kill something every five seconds and don’t bother learning anything, because this is a terrific game.
Here’s to hoping the rest of the soundtrack releases soon. I don’t care if it’s for streaming only or iTunes, I’m buying it. The soundtrack is part of what makes Red Dead Redemption 2 one of the best games of the generation.
@Nerdfather1 and that’s perfectly fine. You disagreed with me, and said your take on the game with some things I actually agreed with and used logic. instead of just assuming I didn’t play it and calling me a troll like many others. Stuff like that is the reason I stayed away from PlayStation based sites because they tend to bring out the worst in the fanbase.
@Sanquine Troll? You’re more than welcome to look at my PSN: Sage_Roy and see what games I’ve beaten.
I have a right to an opinion, just because I own a PS4 doesn’t mean I have to worship everything that’s on it. You’re only looking at my comments aimed towards God of War even though I’ve praised other games. The fanboyism within the Playstation fanbase needs to stop. You all need to learn people can have different opinions on popular games. Kratos is overblown.
Finally, a good looking game that people are looking forward to other than TLoU. I’m so sick of people talking about interactive movies when we have actual games coming out.
@AlejandroMora Never complained about my favorite game not winning. I actually said God of War is a good game, and I never called anyone butthurt. What’s with you making up these lies?
@AlejandroMora Looool. Dry your salty fanboy tears. I bet you didn’t even read my comment, it stated God of War is being held as revolutionary when everything in it has been done before & it’s nothing special or unique. But keep crying
@PS_Nation I called you a name for a reason. I called out pushsquare and you assumed I meant every other site. Read next time. And you, like many others, still can’t provide a decent argument.
@playstation1995 You cant have an opinion on something if you never played it. My list for best games I included many different games across the years, but you focus on Nintendo because you were always a Sega and PlayStation fan, so you’re done on trying to argue with me Mr. old school. Just because I like PlayStation doesn’t mean I have to worship everything about it like a lot of blind fanboys do.
Oh, and you’re more than welcome to look at my PSN and see what games I play Sage_Roy
@Nerdfather1 To me it got old because I felt like I was using it on the same enemies and used the same strategies most of the time, a lot of animations were re-used too and the boss fights didn’t make it any better. It was troll after troll, and there was another one that was made of ice or something but I can’t remember it’s name. The only decent boss I fought was the dragon. The game has its twists, but most of them don’t even come as a surprise. Baldur being Freya’s son and Baldur being strong enough to knock Kratos into the sky are surprises that the player wouldn’t anticipate, definitely gave me a shock. But Atreus having god powers & the steadily improving relationship is something any player could have predicted.
For a hack and slash game that’s combat heavy, it shouldn’t have as many slow moments. Some are fine and add more to the story but others just seem like filler to break the silence. The developers seemed to focus more on Kratos & Atreus which is understandable, but the other characters (apart from Mimir) don’t come to mind when I think about the game.
@PS_Nation I’m talking about this site specifically. Too bad you’re too dumb to see that. I brought up those games to prove that God of War doesn’t do anything that hasn’t been done before, but instead of trying to put up a decent argument you resort to calling other games overrated when all I did was bring up their gameplay and how they’re designed.
@playstation1995 Instead of trying to put up a decent argument you try to insult me, when you have the attention span of something with a short attention span. You previously admitted to not having played Nintendo systems so your opinions are irrelevant. They were brought up because I’m comparing them on how they’re designed and how God of War isn’t anything new, idiot. I don’t have an Xbox, just a PlayStation 4 and a Switch so you can keep your ignorance to yourself. Instead of fanboying and resorting to insults, try to put up a decent argument, then come back.
@JJ2 Really? I thought there were a few unexpected twists. Like Baldur being Freya’s son And Kratos getting his blades back. I thought “oh yeah I’m going old school on you mother rubbers” I can’t express how many good twists there are because swearing isn’t allowed. But yeah there are definitely twists in there bro
@Nerdfather1 A lot can of that can be said about God of War tbh. Spider-Man is PlayStation’s best game because it’s actually fun to play and doesn’t try to sell itself as revolutionary.
@PS_Nation Good game but very overrated. God of War is lazily designed in the sense that the game plays exactly like other games that have come beforehand. Have you ever played adventure games such as The Legend of Zelda or Metroid? Maybe Ratchet & Clank, or any action-adventure game before? I sure have. In those franchises, whether you're playing them two-dimensionally or in third-person, the mechanics often involve collectibles and puzzles that either allow story progression with what little you have to start with in addition to questionable blockage points that can't be accessed until later in the game. Much like one of these other franchises, this particular game heavily borrows instead of originating its own material.
With there being nothing new or interesting to see in this game, this is an imperfect example of an overrated game. By adding a cooperative character, which is again unoriginal, you have no choice but to listen to a much less fascinating story that frequently sees the non-Kratos character bugging you to move onward. Their code from the get-go is to advance. I want to take my time getting as much done as I can instead of having to retrace my steps. But instead, I have to listen to the son calling upon me every five seconds.
I also very much dislike it when games utilize an exact replica of a previous story structure. How many times have we seen a character walking around with an immobilized body that has been injured (or otherwise)? How many times have we walked up a staircase into blinding light at the closing of the game? It's all very much a "been there, done that" experience that is no better than other times that I've seen the same thing before.
In conclusion, God of War is not a bad game but it’s receiving too much praise for doing what every game has done before.
