If you're thinking this game will be like Horizon then you're gunna be disappointed. It's not open world, for one.
@Morganfell
Thanks for the credentials?
I mean I'm sure most people here have played the GoW games. I have played them all as well, the PsP games included and I still wonder why they changed to Christopher Judge. You say he is humanizing Kratos, but TC Carson still did a fantastic job when things got sad for Kratos and he did get solemn explaining his backstory etc.. It's like you're saying that TC Carson doesn't have a regular calm voice....
Calm yourself. It's like their only online only game...
Actually state of decay sold 4.5+mil

Not bad for a budget indie that got 0 advertising
Also in the news the most mobile console ever made can talking about Luigis penis size... haha
Gears? There aren't any guns or a cover system? Unless you're just talking about the camera angle, but then wouldn't Ryse be a better comparison?
Yeah that was awesome and a good way to do a little crowd control so you can focus 1v1.
Im getting a Ryse vibe from it. But as long as they continue to add additional combos and weapons it will easily avoid what made Ryse so boring.
What snail pace games are you playing where that combat is too much going on? Haha have you never played the older GoW games?
Maybe because a good portion of the actual fans (not fanboys) know that the combat was not what was wrong with Ascensions... it was because it was a pointless prequel that didn't need to be made, the designs and everything weren't as good, and it had a tacked on MP. It also didnt help it was again in Greek mythology.
Personally I have always wanted Norse GoW, if they just skipped Ascensions and went for a full GoW4 in Norse with the similar combat, gameplay and came...
That whole scene gave me scary flashbacks of all those boring parts in uc4 where you had to lift you brother up, wait 30 seconds while he runs around looking for something to push down.
Except Ryse, darksiders, hellblade, nier, bayonetta, DMC... you know besides all those other 3rd person hack n slash games. Unless you're strictly just talking about graphics.
L1 to block with shield, R1 light attack, R2 strong attack. It's certainly closer to DS than the previous games were
I get what you're saying. It's okay that it's changing, but to say it feels the same is silly. Go play GoW1-3 again then watch that combat and tell me if it "feels" the same. It's fine if you like the new direction, but it looks nothing like the originals other than Kratos.
If you're counting slims, elites and the X... it's more than 4 consoles...
But only 3 gens.
The game hardly works, that's the problem. If the gunplay, AI and cover system were solid but with a bland story... it probably would have gotten better scores, but as a VR game it's really bad... here is a good video listing 7 bad things about it.

This is why its a failure. If the cover system and gunplay were perfect, but the overall story was just a bit bland it would have gotten better scores I'm sure. But to have so many technical issues, and mind boggling design choices like switching to 3rd person everytime you move... that is why it fails so badly as a VR game especially.
"Also drift is fair bad in this game but when it works is fun just anytime cover and cars are involved it's annoying since cars only cover half your body when crouched"
That's like 90% of the game though... so 90% of the game is annoying and implemented poorly, yet you want to give it a 6/10?
There were a couple times I had to restart a chapter because my AI teammate was stuck in a wall. I call that broken.
Great advice! Moss is fantastic
Agreed. It's fine in games like Dark Souls because you aren't doing a ton of button mashing. There is a reason why Nioh went with the face buttons for combat because while it had a Dark Souls vibe, it had some combos to pull off.
