I think that comment can be applied to any game.
It does look similar. Even the button layout is very similar, but the over all combos and veracity is what will set it apart for sure.
Conveniently the day right before SoT launches haha Perfect timing.

Good! Also work on that sword and shield combat! Give it some weight and depth!
There has to be! That's their bread and butter series!
I'm a massive TES fan since Daggerfall, but good god I really hope they take their time on the next one and rework their entire engine from the ground up. It's 2018 and there is no excuse for such stiff and terrible animations and such.
@Brazz
I didn't get any SJW vibes from this... I mean this looks like a classic Rare design to me. Plus, Pirates were dirty and nasty. Who cares haha
@Heelix
Weekends. I'll usually stay up late Friday and Saturday night when the kids go down for sleep. most single player games are over in 8-20 hours anyway.
Well i'm sure there will be a rocky start to the servers just like any other online game at launch. But I was really hoping this game would be different after all the betas and stress test they ran beforehand.
Same here! SoCal!
See you on the sees you scalawag!
If you get 2 weeks of play out of a game, I'd say that's a good success. A lot of games I finish in 2 or 3 days and never touch again.
The combat is pretty bare bones, but it's a lot more fun if there isn't lag issues like this guy was experiencing.
Not sure how they'll do that when they said the game is all in one continuous shot, no screen cuts, loading screens, black screens etc.
50 hour GoW game? Interesting. I wonder what gameplay mechanics there will be or side stuff to do that will take that long. No way just doing the story stuff is 50 hours.
Is there side stuff like leveling up hunting? Or farming animal skins to craft and upgrade all your armor etc?
Edit: come to think of it, the average souls game is around 40 to 50 hours if you don't farm or PvP. So I guess it isn't out of the realm of possibility.
@Dragonscale
Oh I wasn't insinuating that haha
I was just saying it sounds like he is expecting the game to be something it may not be. Going in expecting a game to be like Horizon with the open world and finding out that it's a little more linear.
Amazing Goonies references in here. haha
This is why they need to release the damn VC and not charge people $40-$60 for damn ports...
To assume the only downvotes are from Xbox fanboys is silly. I own a PS4 Pro and have played every GoW game made. I downvoted because I do not think the combat is going to stack up to the originals.
T.C. Carson for life!
The problem is... it isn't a soft reboot because everything that happened in the last 5 games still happened to Kratos. They already said this is still a continuation of Kratos, not just a different version of him.
Soft Reboot: "movies or shows that take place in the original universe, but strategically ignore or downplay previous stories to push the franchise in a different direction"
So since they aren't ignoring or downplaying Kratos&...
Why would you want something to replace Xbox?
