God of War reboot - now on PC

[Visperas]

So, how's the actual gameplay here? Is it worth playing if you know most of the story and the plot twist?

Anyone who enjoys polished cinematic action games will like it.

I would say it's a step up from cinematic games since everything is in the world and connected. Action is superb really.

It's boring. A game for manginas.

There's nothing new here. Third person action game. Light attack, heavy attack, dodge roll, 2 (or was it 3?) weapons, like 6 enemies total, enemies are pretty passive. Pretty boring overall.

I played a bit on Hard on PSNow, and enemies didn't seem passive on that difficulty. Was pretty rough at times, but not in a good way like Ninja Gaiden. Aggression + health bloat = tedium.

Polished cinematic action games, you say?

 

[Ash]

I enjoy polished cinematic action games to some extent: The original 3 GoW games, Resident Evil 4, Max Payne, The Punisher, Metal Gear Solid 3, Far Cry 4, Dead Space

Those games have typically straightforward yet acceptable gameplay. Some are even declined a little. But this game crosses that threshold of inanity; unbearably dumbed down mangina shit indeed.

In its credit it is not piss-easy on higher difficulty modes, the combat anyway, but if a game is dumbed down over even old GoW it's definitely crossing an unacceptable threshold.

Eagerly waiting for this game on pc

 

[OctavianRomulus]

Only played the first two on my PS2 and those had great gameplay. I'm hoping this one has engaging gameplay too.

 

[Terenty]

A poster child for Sony AAA drivel.

Seriously, it might as well sport "approved by corporate suits for mindless consumption" banner on it's box

 

[Alphard]

Still no PC Bloodborne?

The consensus seems to be that it is an improvement over the first three mainline games and one of the very best PS4 exclusives.

[Cassar]

very small snippet of 4k, PC, mouse and keyboard gameplay. Pretty wild how graphically dated this looks after a relatively short amount of time

 

[Perkel]

It is ps4 game which has 7850+ gpu in it and jaguar 8 cores.

 

[Roguey]

God of Soy looks great, picky picky picky.

Last of God.

It was terrible game.

 

[PanDupa]

I liked the original trilogy, played both original PS2 games and the remasters on PS3. Tried this one for couple of hours, wasn't same, it feels like completly different game, coudn't even managed to finish it. Hate this game from all of my heart as it killed God of War franchise for me

You'll go far here, hating new things.

The game looked good, throwing the axe was fun and all, and listening to the head's stories while traveling on the boat was somewhat interesting, but it baffles me how a game solely focused on combat like this can get away with having exactly FOUR "boss" enemies reskinned 8 times each. I'm not even exaggerating here, there are FOUR bosses.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Yeah and considering one of God of War's main strength were the different bosses this was a major decline.

It's a cinematic narrative experience. I never really noticed, bosses were just a speedbump for more narrative.

If it's a cinematic narrative experience, then why do those 5 hours of cutscenes come attached to additional 20 hours of gameplay?

But yeah, the reskins are very subtle and hard to notice:
