good! the series must be up to a fresh new start. they built a good foundation for the next episodes, now i hope they add content like new bosses and different types of enemies.
They confirmed that there will be no DLC for the game already. I would rather have them focus on the next game anyway, this one is already a complete experience.
Yeah dlc is not coming as Shiken mentioned. Its a shame really but at least we are getting a new game + patch soon. Speaking of which, where the hell is it? I've intentionally put the game aside waiting for the NG+ patch ever since I got my new TV saving it for GOW's HDR eye candy!
Funny thing is when I first started playing it I really wasn't enjoying it. I didn't know what was wrong with me because I could tell it was a quality product but I just wasn't having fun. After a couple days playing, I gave it a break then started it again from the beginning without finishing my first save. 2nd time, I loved it. It was so weird 😂 Best game I've played all year, just an astounding achievement to evolve the franchise in a very big way yet still keeps those who played the old ones. Would love some expansions for it!
I was the same buddy, its not until you unlock stuff when you find your playstyle imo with the attack and a defence you like or are familiar with, when I got to end I wa like shit I haven't used that attack as much as I should of lol. The thing that makes gow great is its varied gameplay, changing your playstyke to suit different sections of the game which kept it fresh from Start to finish. However although I liked the controlling the kid I did feel I just press the buttons without really knowing half the time if it was a good move it bad lol.
I have a weird feeling we WON'T get any DLC related for GOW. I do think they are going to take some words from the New Game Plus that GG did for Horizon Zero Dawn.
They talked many times about how they wanted a lot more armor pieces and etc. but didn't have enough time.
I think they are going to add more armor pieces, enchantments and etc. (maybe new moves, most likely not though). I would LOVE that!
It's a bit cliche to say, but it's my personal best game of this generation. I know I know, there are a bunch of great games that have come out. But none that hooked me the way this did. Re-inventing the series in the best possible way. I seriously can't wait for the next one.
No dlc... but i wouldnt mind a traditional gow made by someone else to hold us over. I dont see another 3rd person gow until like the 2nd or 3rd year into the ps5
It's not like it had boring and repetitive beginning (a few hours of gameplay), disappointing bosses (except the 1st one), extremely generic platforming (if we can even call it that way), small variety of enemies, terrible looking-for-rune sequences just to open a chest (on the open environment mostly).
Maybe it wasnt flawless, but it is still one of the better games released this gen without a doubt.
"It's not like it had boring and repetitive beginning (a few hours of gameplay)"
Your opinion, nothing more. I didn't find one second of playing GOW boring or repetitive. Plus the opening boss fight was more than epic
"disappointing bosses (except the 1st one)"
You just contradicted your first point by saying "except the first one". But yea, the second one can improve on the first in terms of boss battles
"extremely generic platforming (if we can even call it that way)"
Yea sure, because GOW is a platformer at heart /s. By this time it's clear you're digging for reasons to downplay GOW, which i'm finding hilarious.
"small variety of enemies"
Fair enough, that could be one flaw. A minor one considering how great the combat is, but i'll give it to you.
"terrible looking-for-rune sequences just to open a chest (on the open environment mostly)."
Cool, i havent a played a game this gen that matches the quality of God of war overall. Metacritic seems to agree with me http://www.metacritic.com/g... just in case you forgot.
Cool story bro you hated the game no one cares. People are here to celebrate it and whether you agree or not it will be goty and will go down as one of the best games not just this generation but all time
Enemy variety? Eh. What’s Mario if not turtles and mushrooms, reskinned with wings? This cheep cheep flies. That cheep cheep swims. There’s something to be said for the k.i.s.s principle
It's not like one small glimpse on your comment history could give the impression that someone at sony inapprobriately touched you when you were a child, like 1 or 2 years ago.
So obviously you have a genuine opinion on gow and not just blind hate.^^
My gosh, you people are such a casual dumbasses PS4-elitist wannabes it's not even funny how much toxicity you can pour on someone who is trying to be fair. Also, there's a difference between thinking it's excellent and hating it which I clearly never said I did. But yeah, try to put me in your bias as much as you want, I said what I said and I know I've got a point way bigger than your safety bubble allows you to comprehend.
@doggo84 GoW games were known for having mutliple weapon choices, MANY epic bosses and extreme gore. It's barely a thing here. It was also never known for slow pace and strong narrative. So stop putting bs hypocritic propaganda just because you never considered platforming in GoW in any way important. Either way invisible walls are annoying and you can't always jump off of any platforms you want. Sometimes you even have to jump to another platform, standing on the SAME height as the one you're already standing on, just so you can get down after THAT. How is it condradicting if I said EXCEPT in the same line; it means I'm aware only that one is good. More than epic? Did you even play GoW3 or any action heavy game that isn't a retarded shooter. Metal Gear Rising, for instance? Yes, the movie-like sequences looked great, but not better than EVERYthing else (just so you know), neither did they give you control over the action. At the beginning you had insanely small variety of attacks. The beginning also consisted of walking and opening lazily put chests on the opposed sides of the stage. Then you had to fight insanely durable mobs (after the 1st boss fight), so I dunno what was so awesome about it. A lot of people didn't like it either, who liked the game itself. I guess you had to overly enjoy the atmosphere, because what else?
Bloodborne. Bloodborne rapes GoW's atmosphere (seriously, reviewers have been really impressed by its heavy climate), plot, weapon variety (obviously...), exploration, satisfaction and difficulty (and by that I don't mean it's simply harder, I mean it gives you an actual, fair challenge).
And you're talking about opinions yet you're acting as if your wasn't one. However opinions are partly made out of people's experience which is clear as the sun I have way bigger than you.
So far it is my favourite game this year and I would suggest that Spiderman and Red Dead Redemption 2 will have to be pretty stellar to better GOW.
I keep thinking that if either of the above mentioned titles do somehow manage to better GOW, then I am going to be in gaming heaven never been a better time to be a PlayStation gamer, that's for sure.
- Personal view on today's gaming - Every single negative motive with negative consequences that affects the future of gaming gets praised on today's gaming , this and the excessively overrated VR hallway simulator called RE7 and the other overrated games is the prime example of why no one should trust the direction that gaming is heading to , i for myself don't speak for anyone , i don't speak for N4G mentality and neither do i speak for any company .. i speak from gaming perspective and for myself and only myself and i don't give a damn what anyone thinks about me , the respect for true gaming experiences has died gens ago and we are approaching even further to an era that tries to embody the movie industry in the most generic way , gaming is slowly dying because of crap like this but no one is giving a crap about it because they enjoyed what they are seeing , fix Sony and other gaming companies or prepare for the consequences
Hello mate, what would you class as a 'true gaming experience'? Dont disagree about the way games are heading but just curious as to what were the last games that offered this?
Of course they werent going to reply lol. Sony exclusives alone Bloodborne, Uc4, HZD, DBH, GOW, and soon Spider-Man 🤗. Thats not including 3rd partys, and 1st partys on other platforms. This person is delusional or should just quit playing games and fnck right off!
'gaming is slowly dying' yeah maybe if you chose a certain console this gen. PS4 and Switch are selling gangbusters and gaming is slowly dying lol. Come on then, what true gaming experiences are you referring to?
Dudes just disappointed in life and trying to blame gaming for it. Games are fun as hell and are still getting better. For example, immersion and story telling have never been better in gaming. To think that every game made nowadays is some dollar store rip off is complete bullsh!t. That whole comment was a generic "wow is me, and it's the world fault" kind of thought.
The variety and availability of games now is immense, ive personally never enjoyed gaming as much since the snes days. Gow made me feel like i did back in those days and theres loads of quality indies available. I would really like to know what these true gaming experiences are? I play everything, AAA's, walking sims, twin stick shooters, metroidvanias, what am i missing out on?
Its crazy how our self-thought process is so self-centered that we can't even think about the negative consequences those type of games bring , what does it take for people to open their mind for few seconds and just focus and READ : the point of my comments you DONUTS is how gaming these days trying to embody the movie industry , THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT of why i'm extremely disappointed by the amount of acceptance these type of games are getting , i'm not saying that "everything" is bad who the heck even came with that , it has nothing to do with brands whatsoever , its too late to fix that if people are that dense to accept everything
I genuinely have not got a clue what you are talking about. What negative consequences? Yes some games and devs are going for a more cinematic approach, so what, should i not enjoy theses games? Also alot of devs aren't. There are more games being made now than ever before and even in genres that didnt even exist a few gens ago. I mean theres hundreds of retro games being made if you prefer an old school style of game. If you dont like cinematic story driven games dont play them, youve still got thousands of other games to play. Once again can i ask what are these true gaming experiences you refer to? What constitutes a game to you? Do you smoke a lot of 'da herb' and get lost in your own thought process?
@shinox, you still haven't given an example of what you are talking about. If you don't enjoy cinematic games just don't buy them there's plenty of other kinds. So what you are saying is GOW is bad because of this, probably along with most other PS4 exclusives which is totally subjective and the real core of your argument. Tbh resorting to insults without actually backing yourself up with actual examples makes you look like the donut and sound entitled lol.
He cant give any examples because he hasnt got any. He just comes out with vague statements using phrases like 'negative consequences' and 'true gaming experience'. Seems like the type of person who thinks people should only enjoy what he deems as worthy and if you dont agree whith him you're wrong and don't like gaming. Ill continue to play what i enjoy and let others play what they enjoy without criticising. The guys a muppet.
The sequel should be REALLY good. As great as this game is, I excuse it's shortcomings because it's a 'new' game (reboot and all). So the sequel will show me if I was right or if this is just the direction the franchise will go to. By that I mean I am disappointed there is no huge set pieces and huge boss fights. There was literally ONE fight with a giant dragon and that's it. If you remember ANY of the previous games you know there are giant fights everywhere. Heck, literally every previous game opened with jaw dropping epic fights, but not this one. The Stranger was great...and I can't remember anyone else (I Platinum-ed the game). Those Valkyries and ogres felt like copy/paste repeats with different colors. I want to fight huge gods that feel like I'm clutching on the back of space rockets like every other game.
We'll see with the sequels. Good game though. They nailed the human side of it. Now it's time for the 'Lord of the Rings' side to shine.
I’m glad that this game did incredibly Well. This shows other developers there is still a large market for single player games. And that they don’t necessarily have to be open world
It's an absolutely phenomenal game. I hope we get an expansion pack like The Frozen Wilds, to hide us over until the sequel drops.
Yea God of war was pretty much flawless.
Good to hear. Can't wait for spiderman especially.
God of War is easily one of the best games of this generation. I was waiting for a good game but Santa Monica got me off guard with this master peace.
God of War just came in a good moment when companies like EA and Microsoft were discrediting single player games.
Great way to breath new life into Kratos and the God of War saga.
mine too
