Why do people think this is a cinematic corridor experience? Are they stupid or something?
you can discover areas on a linear game.
Also, every single GoW has been a cinematic corridor experience with button mashing thrown in.
This game is actually pulling away from that recipe
because you follow your son 5 hours then bash a giant in the head and then you follow your son again for 15 hours
>he doesnt rush to judgement instantly and spout memes while being obsessed with console war faggotry 24/7
How does it feel to be a filthy normie, OP?
>>341738615
Linear games might have location names appear when you enter them, but the wording seems to imply that areas can remain undiscovered.
>>341738616
It's a 10 minute prologue.
MGSV started with an hour long onrails hospital escape sequence before it turned open world.And that hour long onrails sequence was the best part of it.
Why does every game have an obligatory sidekick character now? Fuck TWD for starting this shit
I'm on board if we get berserker armor
>>341739824
The son is not a sidekick, it's the main playable character.
That's why you gain XP when he does stuff like tracking or shooting the deer, but not when Kratos fights the troll
>>341738509
Wasn't it confirmed to be non-open world though?
>>341738509
No adventuring with thor and baldur no buy
No ice troll war no buy
>>341742070
Wrong.
it's pronbably going to be metroidvania style
open world a shit
I rarely ever finish open world games even when the story missions are fun because I can't fucking stand needing to do little side quests to level up and wander around for hours between way points.
Unless its a sandbox, the open world is meaningless and should never be used
>>341742070
They've already said you play as Kratos the whole time and your son stays with you too
>>341742421
no it isn't, the weird hobo looking guy said multiple times the son has a button mapped to him for use in combat, he is your means of using support abilities
>>341742757
Kratos is the main playable character. The kid is just a sidekick.
>>341738509
> Are they stupid or something?
Yes.
>>341742396
>adventuring with thor
you do realize if thor is going to be in the game its gonna end with kratos using mjolnir to smash his teeth in right?
>>341742290
Was it?
>>341742832
he's a support character you can use abilities with
>>341742396
>ice troll war
I don't remember that ever being a part of Norse Mythology.
>>341743224
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the director said in an interview with Keighley after the conference that it's definitely not open world
>>341743008
NO BUY
>>341743314
I mean the Ice Giants
>this is a sequel not a reboot
>the story is connected to events and characters in games
>kind of think this looks neat and want to play it
>played the first one though and hated it
>mindless button mashing: The Game
>don't want to play the other games leading up to this one
>probably wont enjoy it as much if I don't though
why are we here? just to suffer?
>Son
>Not Pandora
why?
PRESS X TO SON
>>341745751
I just hope when they say the son is mapped to a button that its the tracking pad, it would just bug me if all the face buttons except for one control kratos
>>341745645
Cause dead...
>>341746963
If they can fucking turn the Rage of Spartan into a fucking cutscene then I'm sure they can hack their way to put Pandora into the sequel.
>>341747135
What about CALLIOPE!!!!!!!!!!!?
>>341747509
Then we wouldn't have the wife's daughter meme
>>341744413
>Ice Giants
Stop watching Marvel movies.
There's no such thing in Norse Mythology.
I suppose you're talking about the Jotun, who are neither particularly icy nor necessarily very large.
removing corridor from "cinematic corridor experience" doesnt make it good
>>341744827
The original games fucking sucked besides the alright story. Only people played them as a child disagree because muh nostalgia.
If they are going to try and change something that was shit into something else, that is good to me. I will wait and see the actual gameplay when it comes out in 1-2 years before saying its automatically shit
>>341748476
>I suppose you're talking about the Jotun, who are neither particularly icy nor necessarily very large.
There's a guy who's so big Thor is just the size of his finger.
>>341748883
>nor necessarily very large.
>necessarily
Just because some of them are massive doesn't make the whole race "giants".
It's a bad translation. The original name has no implications of size.
>>341748883
Yes, some of them are very large, but some a very small too. Jotun takes many forms, and as such, giant is a dumb description.
>>341748707
They were fun hack and slashes, although the combat was ultimately limited in places. It's more Streets of Rage than Devil May Cry.
>muh nostalgia
Bought the HD collections last year and played it through them, had lots of fun.
>>341749284
People here seem to play the game on easy or normal but bitch about the game being "mindless" or "easy."
Ninja Gaiden is maybe my favorite 3D action game of all time, but God of War has its merits. They're far from bad.
>>341749706
Oh, certainly.
I think the only ones I have issues with are the handheld titles, but that's more because using L+R to dodge roll is stupid. Acension was weak filler, but still decent.
>>341738509
i had fun with it in the witcher 3
but i don't need to play this style of game again
>>341748883
Ymir isn't "a yotun".
Yotun is more like "monster of the week" than a Race in a lot of cases, but they look cooler when described as giants.
>>341749964
>but that's more because using L+R to dodge roll is stupid.
I actually liked it more. Ghost of Sparta is one of the best ones, for me. Never played Ascension. I heard the multiplayer was good.
>>341738509
They're probably gonna make it openworld because that's what sells these days.
>>341750420
Granted I'm doing my first run on Spartan, which I don't usually do, but still.
Ascension was good for one playthrough, but it's just more of the same with none of the story as it's just tossed in as one of the pre GoW 1 games.
>>341739824
Because how else can you entertain people with your repetitive content?
>>341742745
Wife's son
people have said that the game will be about as open as the newer tomb raider games, wil linear ares and hub areas
so it won't be open world, but it will still be open
>>341739010
Are you fucking retarded?
>game has linear as fuck corridor levels
>there are a few 'doors' that lead to other linear corridor level/sublevel
>have a few hidden doors
>>341751143
Do you understand what linear means?
>>341743242
yea
he's the sidekick
>>341739481
That intro sequence was the best intro i've played in a game next to comfy mafia 2's intro.
>crtl+f c*ck
>0 results
tried streaming the games to play them, actually almost unplayable. There is just a slight lag, not so much that you would really notice it but just enough that blocking literally doesn't work 60% of the time
>>341751143
We already know the levels are open world like, and not linear.
>>341750223
He was a Jötunn, but he was the first one which all other Jötunn descended from.
>>341752078
Source?
>>341742290
Open-world style levels. Not fully open world.
What that entails, we'll have to wait and see.
>>341752224
E3 interview with the devs.
>>341750223
I don't think he's refering to Ymir, I think he's refering to Skrymir, the massive jotun Utgard-Loki turned into to fuck with Thor and Loki.
>>341742745
Uggh really? The whole daddy kratos was cringe as fuck.
>>341738509
It's not GoW so I don't give a fuck about it. I was actually waiting for this tralier to see if it was worth buying a PS4, now I know my answer.
>>341752623
I thought it was great.
I'm more worried by the shitty Ryse-esque combat than anything else.
>>341738509
I don't get instead why people keep thinking is gonna be like Last of Us. With these gaming characteristics, if anything, it will probably try to be more like Skyrim.
And i honestly don't know wich of the two is the lesser evil.
>>341753447
It's the Father-Child dynamic and the slower pacing, I guess.
I honestly hope the whole game won't be as slow as what we've seen. The best parts of GoW was always the crazy, over-the-top segments.
>>341754007
>the crazy, over-the-top segments.
the guy said that troll isn't even a boss fight, that's a standard enemy type you will come across. So I expect things are going to be huge
>>341754443
Well, dragons are pretty much confirmed: plus, norse mythology always had some crazy giant beast like Jörmungandr.
>>341754813
I'm still kind of annoyed by the dragons. Dragons wasn't a pert of norse mythology, at least not the type we would normally call dragons. They had wurms and other shit, like Jömungandr, but they where large snakes.
>>341754813
>Jormungandr
>Nidhogg
>Surtr
>Hrungnir & Mokkerkalfe
>Fenris
>Garm
Yes pls.
