Doesn't matter what the difficulty is. It still revolves around popping all four of your abilities upfront, then filling in time before they're ready again, which didn't take long. Obviously it was still challenging in some areas, and the regular combos were good to use between abilities. I just thought the ability-use to primary combat skills ratio was too high, so it did feel like a spamfest to me as a result. Watching high level play on YouTube didn't change my mind.
It's far from the best game of all time, it isn't even the best of the God of War series. I'd argue it was hugely overrated.
The story was pretty weak with some big problems, the one great thing being the direction they took for Kratos.
The combat, while good enough, really just boiled down to an ability spamfest. The trilogy had better combat; there was more depth in the combos, by nature you could see every enemy on screen, and you didn't have to...
It's not correct, it should be "but not". Just a typo
Man up IGN, give it the score it deserves. Even your review couldn't justify a 7.
IGN and GameSpot giving this game a 10 just further devalues the 10s they give out.
Well... They've only recently been made haven't they? So any deal would technically be a record low?
Looks good, I'll definitely be getting the physical version.
Man, tunes change quick around here.
On Thor: "We want our Norse characters to be as lore accurate as possible"
On Angrboda: "This is OUR Norse interpretation"
From what I gathered, she's a redhead in the lore... Interesting how they seem to get shoved aside with these things. They're doing the same race swap with the live action Little Mermaid. Almost like you would call it racism.
Why have a steelbook case if it doesn't include a disk? Just sell the art book separately. Ideally a high quality one, not like the mini ones we get with these so called collectors editions. And don't bother with the digital soundtrack that everyone will just listen to on YouTube anyway.
Might be a minor gripe, but I really dislike the menus with the roaming soldier in the background that the past few Call of Duty's have opted for. Looks tacky. Black Ops 2 had a simpler menu, and it looked way nicer. Black Ops 3 was also better with the action poses in the background.
Agreed. Easy mode would kill how these games are viewed, which would probably result in fewer sales. The opposite of what these easy mode heretics believe.
People who play on easy would have a hollow experience, and it would be a pain in the ass from a development point of view.
Which one are you referring to? I remember Black Ops 2 had decisions that changed the course of the game, it was weird how they didn't continue down that path. But that was nearly nine years ago.
Boring. I understand that the multiplayer needs to remain largely the same to appease the fan base, but why does the single player have to? Make a zombie campaign, something like Mass Effect 2 with a suicide mission at the end, or even an RPG like Borderlands.
This is lazy, no wonder most people choose not to play the story anymore.
I don't see anyone calling Rift Apart a DLC game? Miles Morales gets called that because its not really a proper sequel, is smaller, and has the same world as the original. It's hard not to draw First Light comparisons from that.
I hate Warzone. It's a pretty mediocre experience, and it's just complicating the actual games.
So... Does that mean we aren't getting any more Crash or Spyro?
Even after playing around with the settings, the controls make it virtually unplayable using a controller.
Lol what is this list? You're excited that it has graphics and audio? And that Warzone, a different game will get an update?
If a game outright doesn't work, it should get 0/10. Why would it deserve points for simply existing?
