And your webm has a Ganker filename so it's not your gameplay and therefore you don't know how "technical" it's being. I'm the guy who posted my GoW trophy (you know, evidence that I've actually played these games on higher difficulties) and there's really not a lot going on there, even DmC makes God of War combat look more rudimentary than it already is.

Glass houses. Bottom line is that nu-GoW did not ruin the series because the series had very little legs to stand on and the combat was never great in the first place. Calling God of War shit now and good back then is like saying that Disney live action remakes suck and that their 90s direct-to-video output was better, both are mediocre but to different extents and taking up either side of the argument is moronic.

People are going to get real butthurt about your opinion, OP. But I agree
I’ll say Borderlands. I played the first two a lot and at some point it clicked that I was just killing time and not even having that much fun with them. Gameplay is braindead and the writing is pure shit. And somehow it got worse
A lot of Western mid 2000s games are like this
none of them were actually ever good bioshock uncharted killzone etc but they're fondly remembered because of some bullshit nostalgia or having no standards to begin with
I can play a game for hundreds of hours but still know it's dogshit but to claim it's otherwise is delusional
you're not le epic logical, objective thinker. you just have no spine or character. if you play a game for 200 hours, you find it fun and that is enough. people like you DISGUST me

Yup. That's right. Not a SINGLE.

Ah yes, the game where you're wacking on enemies with your shitty beatsicks known as the Axe/Blades and they decided to have the brilliant idea of having enemies go sicko mode and gain levels mid-battle, so now your basic functions no longer work, moreso if you play at Level 1 meaning they never work past the first 5 mins.
The game where you play as the fricking GOD OF WAR, yet has armor/weapon RPG crafting garbage despite killing the entirely of Olympus shirtless.
The game where the cinematicshit camera is so far up your ass, and you can't attack in any direction that isn't forward. Where they have literal indicator shit instead of understanding proper visual/audio cues of enemies by learning their moveset.
The game with the literal color-coded, palette swapped, and low variety enemy design
The game where actions like jumping are only allowed contextually, so there's no longer proper aerial options.
The game where they replaced magic meters that don't regain during battle with dogshit cooldowns tied to the only attacks worth using (Runics).
The game with the boi button in which an invincible npc deals better damage/hit properties than you while stealing aggro making the actions of the player less important.
The game with the magnetic tracking garbage that trivializes spacing.
The game where the environment is a total mess and, there's no a clear view of the battlefield because of all the invisible walls so the effects of your hit properties work.
The game that removed general case grappling for a shitty meter stun build up that was a stupid idea in Ascension and still dumb here.
The game where you are forced to march in a straight line while characters talk to each other that completely kills any and all replayability.
The game where the list keeps going. Yes, this is the shitty game you're promoting as good.

Which does nothing as it's still indicator shit instead of understanding proper visual/audio cues of enemies by learning their moveset. Because of how the shit camera is designed the game never throws waves of multiple enemy types, now the shitty boi just calls out "attacking incoming" which is entirely universal to go along with your universal dodge.

Maybe it ramps up on the sequels, but I just got done playing through God of War 1 today and it honestly wasn't even that gory a game. Maybe it's because things got way more brutal with years, and the game does include at least one live decapitation in a cutscene and multiple enemies getting their spines broken clean in half, but it didn't really register on the radar for me as being anywhere near the same level as the Manhunts or Mortal Kombats or The Punishers of the world that already existed at the time.

Well, this fully checks out
ascension's multiplayer was fricking sweet apart from a couple of balancing issues (poseidon being a bit overtuned and hades undertuned). so were most instances of shoehorned multiplayer come to think of it
Honestly the thing that bothers me is how the #1 critique of nu gow is how cinematic and hand holdy it is when gow has always been cinematic and hand holdy. Practically every boss is press x to awesome, every stronger enemy is press x to awesome, the puzzles in old gow are mostly braindead and there's way enough down time that's just pushing boxes where the camera slowly panned to and showed you exactly where to push them
the #1 critique of nu gow on Ganker is that it's made by le sjw troony boogeymen, nobody who hates these games has actually played them. Even if you're not a big fan of the newer style they're at least competently developed games with decent combat and stories that are an interesting take on Norse myth.
Yeah... but if I'm just looking for wish fulfillment stuff, that isn't it. Which is why it fails. It's cool that it exists but they don't lean into the power fantasy so you might as well keep searching for something more niche.
That's fair. When 2018 came out I thought (and still did) that the hack-n-slash power fantasy style games (1-3+ascension) were very uncommon and a new GoW in that style actually would have been pretty refreshing. There's not much like that in the industry anymore. A new big budget GoW esque game would be great.
>an interesting take on Norse myth.
There's literally nothing about god of onions that is norse besides the names of the characters. Max fricking Payne is unironically a better ragnarok story than this commiefornian trite.
>Practically every boss is press x to awesome, every stronger enemy is press x to awesome,
These are just the finishes, and most of the time you can just skip it. It's not that big of a deal. >the puzzles in old gow are mostly braindead and there's way enough down time that's just
Less braindead than nugow puzzles for sure. They cut platforming out of the game > and there's way enough down time that's just pushing
Because that's comparable with the 20 minutes of slow walking in nugow? Shut the frick up. You don't know what you're talking about.

Sub-par JRPG's compared to their contemporaries at the time, and a history of maintaining that sub-par quality with no major innovation or improvements made.

Yeah, no. Mechanic bloat for the sake of TRYING to give you some shallow semblance of uniqueness to your rock-paper-scissors gameplay is not improvement. It's a band-aid on an open wound that never had proper treatment.
Reminder if you like this game you're a kid and you probably like gears of war and halo too. How's those cawadoody modern blops lobbies going champ? Not saying naughty words on there again are you? Fricking dork
SotN is pretty broken anon. Alucard is way overpowered.
Later Igavanias were a lot better gameplay wise.
Except Harmony of Dissonance, that game is unarguably a watered down SotN.
>Alucard is way overpowered.
everything in the game has a toggle just do a challenge run if you want to do a challenge run. the level design art and ost is still miles better than any other metroidvania
Such a mediocre series. Dull meandering stories, boring stock character designs, simple puzzles, ATROCIOUS gunplay (the way people hyped up Uncharted 2 I was expecting something like Max Payne 3) Even at it's absolute peak it whiffs between 6-7/10. People on here like to whine and gripe about TLOU1/2 and nuGoW1/2 getting crazy high reviews and praise but seeing that bullshit go down didn't shock me one bit after seeing all the accolades laid at the feet of this steaming pile.
I just want to be le ebin. This is le Redditchan /vee/ - Le Everything Except Le Video Games. Liking le video games is le cringe. Enjoying things is le cringe. Being happy is le cringe. Le everything le is le cringe!
You could only come away with this conclusion if you played on easy or didn't play at all.
Not that the first few are good, parrying and dodging feels awful in it and way too often you don't have the tools to deal with certain enemies.
Cyclops for example, you have to dodge a million times while getting a few hits in until they finally drop.
You also can't deal with generic enemies that start blocking and ruin your crowd control. Also blocking minotaurs.
Magic is a crutch and cope btw.
Basically any game from any point in time that leans heavily into anime tropes. There's something about the aesthetic and structure of those types that memorizes mentally weak people into believing they're enjoying what they're watching and playing. You have to frick up your game pretty badly not to be able to milk weeb drones.
Elabarote further.
Why do you think it's not good.
and what counts as an good game to you.
My problem with your opinion is that you make insane claim that this very beloved franchsice is not good, but you don't explain why.
You just want reaction out of people or want people to agree with you without actually saying anything yourself.
>DMCuck poorly fails to shit on a better action series >always manages to reveal himself as a DMCuck everytime hiding behind NG
It was funny the first time, it will be funny the next time. The cycle repeats.
While I wouldn't call it crap, I'd say it's just OK. I don't know how it is with the modern games but I never liked how it's grindy if you want to level up more than 1 pokemon.
Polygonal breasts and the novelty of 3D in the 90s is the only thing this series had going for it. The remakes are mediocre modern movie games. It's all average at best even by the standards of the past.
>Hurr story too difficult >Me only understand shooty games where me kill brown people >Me biggest of smartness >Why people make fun of me small peepee >Why me outcast to society it
I'd much rather play God of War 1&2 and even 3 than play any Bayonetta.
God of War isn't NG or DMC but it's not THAT shallow on hard difficulty and it's mostly fun and dare I say "epic" most of the time, a lot of bosses looks great with a nice OST. If your game is going to have giant bosses, I prefer the way GOW2 does it over how NG does it, even if the later has much better gameplay overall the way you fight giant bosses is kind of awful, having you slashing their feet.

I asked you to elaborate with arguments instead of just stating your opinion, you didn't.
If this is your concession, consider it accepted.
Accept this dick in your ass, there's jack shit going on in that webm and the games were always as deep as a puddle. I posted my platinum trophy showing that I beat GoW3 on a harder difficulty, do you have anything similar to corroborate your moronic /misc/-fed stance?
>/pol/-fed
lol
>there's jack shit going on in that webm and the games were always as deep as a puddle
So your argument is that the game isn't "deep"? Define deep.
Do you mean it doesn't have a lot of options? Objectively false.
After asking you twice to pull out an argument you chose to pull it straight out of your ass. Terrible.
>the games were always as deep as a puddle
Why are you conflicting Norse God with Greek God.
You don't know shit about GoW or DMC.
>all this is needed to kill one shitty generic enemy that often spawn in multiples
Are you moronic enough to think Combo MAD are supposed to represent proper gameplay?
It wouldn't die any faster in non combo gameplay
>faster
That's your issue? 10 seconds is too long for you?
>series where you can instant kill things
>wouldn't die any faster
?
>instant kill things
Only low-tier enemies
You can instant-kill everything (mainly in 1, 2) as long as they aren't straight up immune to magic and general grabs.
>everything

>can't instakill cerberus puppies

>>a couple of low-tier enemies
Cyclopses are low-tier?
>can't instakill cerberus puppies
Yes you can, magic exists for a reason. Is this why you're so bad at at action games? Because you don't understand them?
>but muh magic
>can't instakill a puppy with electric charge or how
L.O.L.
>you can't instant-kill enemies

Confirmed for not playing the game as usual.

You stated that an "late game earthquake" move instant-kills enemies in GoW. There is no such thing. You got outed for not playing the game, give it up. Shitpost another day.

?

You mean the move that gets WORSE on higher difficulties because the Power% is specifically nerfed and has no instant-kill? Again, confirmed for not playing the game

That's objectively wrong. You're admitting you haven't played the game deeper and deeper in every post. Take the L and let it go, maybe you can trick someone else.

Is Titan difficulty hard? I thought about going for the platinum in 3 but the Challenge of the Gods in GOW1 filtered me extremely so I was put off.
Nah, the challenges in GoW1 are probably some of the hardest things in the series aside from maybe the trial of Archimedes or Sigrun.
What's your favorite game homosexual? My hello fricking kitty adventure?
The gore in the games was basic b***h boring shit 95% of the time. Oh wow you hit a guy and he bleeds like a cheesy horror movie character. Now hit him 50 more times to actually do any sort of visible damage to him!
It's literally a hack and slash. What the frick were you expecting?

>the first God of War is excellent.
that is true and op plays only fps
>the first God of War is excellent
If by excellent you mean just ok and very short, then yes
No, he's right. It is excellent.
It's really not, maybe if you compare it to Nu-GoW
It is. Got my money on you not knowing a thing about Action combat let alone GoW.
I am actually old enough to have played God of War when it came out; Preferred DMC3 as the action game whose protagonist is a parody of what a middle schooler would think is cool
What does any of that have to do with you not knowing game mechanics in video games?
Please explain the mechanical excellence of the original God of War to my ignorant self.
Because i remember there being 3 combos to a weapon, like 2 weapons and square square (there might be an extra square here) triangle with the default chainblade being a le to deal with literally anything on hard.
Something about grabs, and grabs and grabs and collision and grabs and grabs
Grabs oh god I love GRABS GRAPPLES
You know you can also simplify something like NG to UT UT Izuna Drop UT UT, right?
Oh, what am I saying. You don't actually care about action games.

People are going to get real butthurt about your opinion, OP. But I agree
I’ll say Borderlands. I played the first two a lot and at some point it clicked that I was just killing time and not even having that much fun with them. Gameplay is braindead and the writing is pure shit. And somehow it got worse
OPs post should have been bordershit
A lot of Western mid 2000s games are like this
none of them were actually ever good bioshock uncharted killzone etc but they're fondly remembered because of some bullshit nostalgia or having no standards to begin with
I can play a game for hundreds of hours but still know it's dogshit but to claim it's otherwise is delusional
you're not le epic logical, objective thinker. you just have no spine or character. if you play a game for 200 hours, you find it fun and that is enough. people like you DISGUST me
you're never going to convince me any western game post gta 3 is actually good.
Did you mean game franchises that don't have a single bad game?
Yup. That's right. Not a SINGLE.
BAD.
GAME.
CoO is good. GoS is good. Ascension is good. 2018 and ragnarok are both good.
Flawed, sure, but consistently good series. The only way you could disagree is if you just don't like action games.
even the java phone game was good
This. God of War - While very basic - is an example of a series with no BAD entries. There are some mediocre ones, but not a single bad one.
>Ascension is good. 2018 and ragnarok are both good.
No.

By what? Shit gameplay? GoW stopped being good at Ghost of Sparta. Ascension is a glitched mess and Goy of Slop isn't even a proper video game.

>actually defending Goy of Slop 2018
Ah yes, the game where you're wacking on enemies with your shitty beatsicks known as the Axe/Blades and they decided to have the brilliant idea of having enemies go sicko mode and gain levels mid-battle, so now your basic functions no longer work, moreso if you play at Level 1 meaning they never work past the first 5 mins.
The game where you play as the fricking GOD OF WAR, yet has armor/weapon RPG crafting garbage despite killing the entirely of Olympus shirtless.
The game where the cinematicshit camera is so far up your ass, and you can't attack in any direction that isn't forward. Where they have literal indicator shit instead of understanding proper visual/audio cues of enemies by learning their moveset.
The game with the literal color-coded, palette swapped, and low variety enemy design
The game where actions like jumping are only allowed contextually, so there's no longer proper aerial options.
The game where they replaced magic meters that don't regain during battle with dogshit cooldowns tied to the only attacks worth using (Runics).
The game with the boi button in which an invincible npc deals better damage/hit properties than you while stealing aggro making the actions of the player less important.
The game with the magnetic tracking garbage that trivializes spacing.
The game where the environment is a total mess and, there's no a clear view of the battlefield because of all the invisible walls so the effects of your hit properties work.
The game that removed general case grappling for a shitty meter stun build up that was a stupid idea in Ascension and still dumb here.
The game where you are forced to march in a straight line while characters talk to each other that completely kills any and all replayability.
The game where the list keeps going. Yes, this is the shitty game you're promoting as good.
>Goy of Slop

>The directional cues are better than any other game
Is this a joke or are you actually moronic?
> Turn off those hud elements
Which does nothing as it's still indicator shit instead of understanding proper visual/audio cues of enemies by learning their moveset. Because of how the shit camera is designed the game never throws waves of multiple enemy types, now the shitty boi just calls out "attacking incoming" which is entirely universal to go along with your universal dodge.
>he doesn't know God Hand

Skill issue, mad because bad, etc.

homosexual, all your complaints boil down to “this game is…le hard!” You suck at it. The camera is fine. The enemies are fine. If you need 150 FOV to play your omnidirectional action game, you’re just bad.
>all your complaints boil down to
issues resulting from bad decisions, which makes a bad game because the combat is garbage.
Ascension is horrible.
Monster hunter also has no bad games. Even the mobile games are good
I've always seen God of War as a wonderful test for whatever the most cancerous trend in gaming is at the moment. In the 2000s it was
>DUDE BLOOD SEX AND GORE
and today it's
>DUDE SAD BEARD DAD WALKS AND TALKS
Both are different flavours of the exact same "Gaming needs to MATURE to be TAKEN SERIOUSLY" nonsense.
>>DUDE BLOOD SEX AND GORE
kind of true, but kratos and his story still had plenty of depth.
the new games kind of ignore all that though for muh epic whole daddy

California is weird. It has a massive concentration of conservatives, yet it's still California wtf?

No. I'm implying all california gays make the exact same shit
if you told someone that it was made by someone else they wouldn't even question you unless it was from a completely different state or part of the world

>The entirely different studio and people made the same games
And this is why Nintendo gays are insufferable homosexuals. You fricking baseddrinking losers are the biggest pussies of all time
Maybe it ramps up on the sequels, but I just got done playing through God of War 1 today and it honestly wasn't even that gory a game. Maybe it's because things got way more brutal with years, and the game does include at least one live decapitation in a cutscene and multiple enemies getting their spines broken clean in half, but it didn't really register on the radar for me as being anywhere near the same level as the Manhunts or Mortal Kombats or The Punishers of the world that already existed at the time.
It was just a game about one really fricking angry irredeemable c**t trying to get revenge on heaven.
3 is full of casual brutality and cruelty
You’ll understand once you’re older
This is actually really insightful.
>GoW Ascension in 2013
>shoehorned multiplayer
>toned-down sexuality (first GOW with no sex minigame)
>Troy Baker voicing a boring self-serious tryhard
Well, this fully checks out
ascension's multiplayer was fricking sweet apart from a couple of balancing issues (poseidon being a bit overtuned and hades undertuned). so were most instances of shoehorned multiplayer come to think of it
god of war used t obe good, but now its just marvel quips and cinematic slow camera bs
Imagine thinking that the old GOW games weren't full of fricking soul holy fricking shit I hate Nintendo gays so fricking much
Honestly the thing that bothers me is how the #1 critique of nu gow is how cinematic and hand holdy it is when gow has always been cinematic and hand holdy. Practically every boss is press x to awesome, every stronger enemy is press x to awesome, the puzzles in old gow are mostly braindead and there's way enough down time that's just pushing boxes where the camera slowly panned to and showed you exactly where to push them
the #1 critique of nu gow on Ganker is that it's made by le sjw troony boogeymen, nobody who hates these games has actually played them. Even if you're not a big fan of the newer style they're at least competently developed games with decent combat and stories that are an interesting take on Norse myth.
Yeah... but if I'm just looking for wish fulfillment stuff, that isn't it. Which is why it fails. It's cool that it exists but they don't lean into the power fantasy so you might as well keep searching for something more niche.
That's fair. When 2018 came out I thought (and still did) that the hack-n-slash power fantasy style games (1-3+ascension) were very uncommon and a new GoW in that style actually would have been pretty refreshing. There's not much like that in the industry anymore. A new big budget GoW esque game would be great.
>an interesting take on Norse myth.
There's literally nothing about god of onions that is norse besides the names of the characters. Max fricking Payne is unironically a better ragnarok story than this commiefornian trite.
>Practically every boss is press x to awesome, every stronger enemy is press x to awesome,
These are just the finishes, and most of the time you can just skip it. It's not that big of a deal.
>the puzzles in old gow are mostly braindead and there's way enough down time that's just
Less braindead than nugow puzzles for sure. They cut platforming out of the game
> and there's way enough down time that's just pushing
Because that's comparable with the 20 minutes of slow walking in nugow? Shut the frick up. You don't know what you're talking about.

SoTN is the only game that doesn't belong on there, it completely mogged every game in its lane and still does to this day.
SotN is pretty broken anon. Alucard is way overpowered.
Later Igavanias were a lot better gameplay wise.
Except Harmony of Dissonance, that game is unarguably a watered down SotN.
>Alucard is way overpowered.
everything in the game has a toggle just do a challenge run if you want to do a challenge run. the level design art and ost is still miles better than any other metroidvania
I haven't played the DS games yet but I wouldn't say any of GBA games are as good as SOTN
But... 3 of those 5 are genuinely good games that are fun to play, still. Two of them are lackluster, generic JRPG's.
The only good parts in those games were the T&A. In fact that's the only reason they were remembered by an underage (you)
Such a mediocre series. Dull meandering stories, boring stock character designs, simple puzzles, ATROCIOUS gunplay (the way people hyped up Uncharted 2 I was expecting something like Max Payne 3) Even at it's absolute peak it whiffs between 6-7/10. People on here like to whine and gripe about TLOU1/2 and nuGoW1/2 getting crazy high reviews and praise but seeing that bullshit go down didn't shock me one bit after seeing all the accolades laid at the feet of this steaming pile.

True. So many children on Ganker these days.
You could only come away with this conclusion if you played on easy or didn't play at all.
Not that the first few are good, parrying and dodging feels awful in it and way too often you don't have the tools to deal with certain enemies.
>you don't have the tools to deal with certain enemies.
In what way?
Cyclops for example, you have to dodge a million times while getting a few hits in until they finally drop.
You also can't deal with generic enemies that start blocking and ruin your crowd control. Also blocking minotaurs.
Magic is a crutch and cope btw.
>Cyclops
The ones that job to Magic, Collisions, and Spirit?
> deal with generic enemies that start blocking and ruin your crowd control
You most certainly can.
> blocking minotaurs.
You mean launcher into OH or infinite air grapples?
>Magic is a crutch and cope
Just because you're bad isn't an excuse.
>nuh uh
Uh thanks for your valuable input.
>you can't deal with these enemies!!!!
>yes you can
>t-that doesn't count!!!!!
Yikes.
Basically any game from any point in time that leans heavily into anime tropes. There's something about the aesthetic and structure of those types that memorizes mentally weak people into believing they're enjoying what they're watching and playing. You have to frick up your game pretty badly not to be able to milk weeb drones.
still like it tho
GOW trilogy was great though
>ITT game franchises that were never good
Easy
Elabarote further.
Why do you think it's not good.
and what counts as an good game to you.
My problem with your opinion is that you make insane claim that this very beloved franchsice is not good, but you don't explain why.
You just want reaction out of people or want people to agree with you without actually saying anything yourself.

Polygonal breasts and the novelty of 3D in the 90s is the only thing this series had going for it. The remakes are mediocre modern movie games. It's all average at best even by the standards of the past.

I'd much rather play God of War 1&2 and even 3 than play any Bayonetta.
God of War isn't NG or DMC but it's not THAT shallow on hard difficulty and it's mostly fun and dare I say "epic" most of the time, a lot of bosses looks great with a nice OST. If your game is going to have giant bosses, I prefer the way GOW2 does it over how NG does it, even if the later has much better gameplay overall the way you fight giant bosses is kind of awful, having you slashing their feet.
