@naruball Oh yeah, I actually agree with you. Maybe what I said before wasn't clear, so it's my fault.
I think it's a cash grab for Sony due to their pricing. I doubt Naughty Dog didn't try their hardest while they were developing this game.

Where are the "not a cash grab" and "fair price" people now? It definitely feels like Sony has no problems lowering the price of this amazing groundbreaking remake.

I hope Actiblizzard goes to hell...By playing Diablo, of course.

I saw the trailer and the plot felt like generic action game. I don't to play MW2 with monsters, I want a genuine horror experience.

This review and others confirmed what I thought, this is more Dead Space 3 than 1 which means it's a definite pass.

The best part about The Witcher 3 is that it has very little to do with the Netflix series.

@dark_knightmare2 Ok, not gonna reply to you anymore. Just stop with the whole "reviewers said" thing. Play the game and have your own opinion. Reviewers are just a bunch of people that call themselves professionals even though a lot of them have absolutely no knowledge about the subject. You presented no arguments as a rebuttal to why DMC and Bayonetta have superior combo systems except the opinion of others.
Also if you got the plat on Elden Ring you played at least 200h, that may be the reason you're burned out.

Good luck with your journey through playing games, I hope you learn that "professional reviews" mean absolutely nothing and develop your own critical thoughts towards game design.

@dark_knightmare2 That's true. It is also true that Elden Ring has zero focus on combining.
So let's compare GoW with a game that has focus on combo, the classic character action games.
Devil May Cry 5 and Bayonetta 3 simply destroy GoW when it comes to complexity and variety of combo possibilities. GoW has very limited juggling whereas both games I mentioned excel on that. Also DMC has a variety of characters that play completely different.

GoW has no gameplay aspects that make it stand out from the crowd. Also the camera is way to focused to the point that even the developers noticed and put a button to turn quickly to compensate for that flaw.
GoW is a beautiful game with several adequate gameplay aspects, but whatever it does gameplay wise you can find games that do it better.

@Shredderlovespizza I agree 100%. I understand the appeal and it's a beautiful game with an amazing story, but playing it once is more than enough to see absolutely everything that it offers.

@dark_knightmare2 First of all "cinematic" is a term with zero meaning in itself. Second, it came across to you that it was "hurt Durr" because you don't agree with it.
But I'll clarify for you the difference in depth between the games: Elden Ring has a variety of stats that relate do different weapons, spells, armor, speed, invincibility frames that completely change the way you play the character. Also it has dozens of different armors with different weaknesses and strengths and a weapon variety in the dozens. No character you create is the same in that game.
God of War has Kratos which you can customise a bit with different techniques and runes, also a few armors, but a lot of it boils down to: "this item is level 4 so it's better than the level 2 item". You can count on one hand the amount of weapons you have and the amount of builds you can make.

Now, overall GoW is not shallow, but when compared to Elden Ring it's infinitely more limited. And if you refer to my original comment, it doesn't it's bad it just caters to an specific audience.

If you think that GoW has the same gameplay depth as Elden Ring you clearly haven't played any of them to their full extent.

@dark_knightmare2 Yeah, reviews said X or Y. Different people have different opinions. Also when you argue with "hurr Durr" it makes you look extremely childish and defensive. Also you dismissed every positive point I made about the game.

Maybe you're the one who's biased, have you ever thought of that?

GoW has a lot of spectacle but not so much substance. Beautiful, great voice acting, interesting story but the gameplay is simple and the level design is very limited. Also, climbing sections.

Elden Ring has way more depth put into its gameplay mechanics, there are so many options on how to fight and where to go and how to develop your character.

I think that if you like a story focused game with solid but limited gameplay GoW is your game of the year.

If you like very in depth mechanics with many options for character progression and ways to complete the game with very little handholding Elden Ring is your game of year.

They're completely different games that appeal to completely different tastes.

If anybody likes this, there's a no hit league on Twitch which is pretty cool.

Gino is in 1st place because he's probably a machine, no human can be that skilled.

Origins is the only one of the "Ancient" trilogy that is not excessively long and consequently boring.

I'm glad they're taking a different direction with the new game because it never seemed like they improved much the formula, just added more of the same to it.

@IslandLogic "Microsoft announces that Jim Ryan has been purchased for 50 billion dollars."

Sony is trying to push everyone to have an Xbox apparently.

Triple dipping SEGA? Disgusting.

@sanderson72 You're absolutely right.

You just made me realize the PS5 is actually worse than the PS3.

They should just rename the PS5 as PS3 two.

@bpomber I think TLOU selling well proves exactly the opposite.
The general public likes repetition, lack of innovation and endless remakes.
TLOU sold well exactly because of this.

They never properly fixed Cyberpunk, they're dumping it after one DLC even though they said they would make two. They've just announced Witcher 4 and still haven't even remastered Witcher 3.

How the mighty have fallen.

A mediocre game with not much reach getting a TV show adaption?
Yeah, that's definitely gonna be very successful.

@Blacksmith1985 They relocated to Cyprus exactly because of everything that happened.

@Master_Rid I have been playing on PS5 since yesterday and it has been running smoothly with just a few minor bugs popping in from time to time.
They seem to have learned from last time and have released a much more stable game.

A Sonic game having either of those is a miracle in itself.

I think this is Ubisoft giving up on the idea.
It was never implemented well, but as many people said here it was basically the hook of the series.

Instead of doing something to integrate better they're relegating it to a optional hub.

Odyssey and Valhalla are extremely repetitive. Both games could be cut to 50h to complete and they would be exactly the same.

I'd rather have them adding something new to the game than copypasting the same areas time and time again.

"We’ve left the world expandable."

This can dangerously read as: "We didn't finish the story so buy the DLC or you won't get the whole picture."

I was cautiously optimistic about this game but now they've turned me into a skeptic.

@Flaming_Kaiser Thanks for the reply, it was very constructive. I also like the emoji at the end, it gives even more legitimacy to your opinion.

@Grimwood Did you read anywhere in my comment me saying that I was going to buy it?

@gollumb82 @naruball You're both right. But when you start your sentence with "I almost wrote a comment directed at the haters" it looks like you were trying to tease some people.

Maybe I've read too much into it, but that's why I replied.

Also I think "hater" is an umbrella term that is rarely useful and it's continuously used as a means to avoid criticism and to create two opposite groups instead of fomenting rational discussion.

@gollumb82 Haters? You mean the dismissive term when people don't accept any kind of criticism or opinion opposite to theirs?

It definitely looks better, but in my opinion not enough to justify buying it at full price.

Can't wait for Silent Hill: Survive!

Online only with tons of microtransactions.

Good month. I was on the verge of buying Deathloop but now I won't have to.

That's a relief.

Yeah, sooo many Souls like games. What we need is another open world action game with light rpg elements, those barely exist.

That's an achievement for gaming in general.
It's a hardcore game with no hand holding. It's showing that people want good quality games, not easy experiences that just shove you with "rewards" every five minutes.

It could definitely change the gaming landscape for the better.

@nomither6 Oh goodie! One of those FGC purists?
Yeah, definitely just a party game that doesn't require any skill at all. I hope one day we can reach your level of coolness and play REAL fighting games and have a REAL avatar like your sonic one. You're so cool, bro

Still not able to break Smash Ultimate's record of 279k in 2019.

I automatically got the highest tier because I was subscribed to both Plus and Now, but if continues like that I'll definitely renew just as extra. Less expensive and basically the same games.

Day one DLC? I'll buy the game a year later for half the price.

One hour of ads?

@Zombiechris Buddy, your comments are pathetic. Your comment wall is just you fighting people.
You're irrelevant in this community and I can't wait until you cross the line too far and eventually get perma banned. And since I know getting into fights on the internet gets you off I won't give you the chance. Read this reply as our last interaction because after that you're ignored.
Goodbye forever

@Zombiechris What part of it being my opinion you don't understand?
What part of having the RE name attached and barely making use of the vast lore the series has you don't understand?
What part of being a weak series that has an incredibly shallow plot with little development you don't understand?

Maybe you disagree with all of my points and you think I'm wrong, but guess what? That doesn't make you or me right. So don't come telling me what I do or do not understand because understanding varies from individual to individual.

Thank goodness!

Lance Reddick is a great actor, but he's wasted in the Netflix series. His character acts nothing like Albert Wesker.

Acquired by whom? The Devil? Oh wait, he already owns EA.

Blizzard can go F itself.

I vaguely remember one Push Square article talking about it and then it faded from my mind.

The idea was good, the implementation not so much.

Considering the current economic situation all over the world, it would be the most out of touch move possible.
So yeah, Sony's probably gonna do it.
