So disheartening that a studio has to clarify that there'll be more "man games" after announcing a game with a woman in it.

Fuck I hate all those insecure little GamerTM shits.
Santa Monica is doing this of their own will, and they've made it clear for the grifters and TMs to fuck off. Though I do agree that Kratos story is completely over. Why not focus on an adult Atreus or brand new character in general?

I just saw a clip of Dave Jaffe being a dried up c*nt again about God of War - Dude really has nothing going on in his life anymore, huh? And that's coming from someone who has nothing going on in his life.
Jaffe will never be wrong, no matter how badly he communicates the point. Kratos is not the same character and it's not God of War. Where was the narrator? Where were the cutscenes that efficiently moved the story along (between cinematic scripted camera angles that can highlight scale), skipping depressing walking and talking that doesn't fit the tone? Like normal everyday dialogue in Clash of the Titans. Awkward as hell. Didn't feel like a world of mythical creatures and gods at all with that ordinary walk and talk dialogue. Baldur sounded and looked like standard white trash. Multiplying the exposition so many times with all this talking didn't make the story better than it was before, it made it worse.

Everything is toned down. But, if it's the same universe, he would still have to he brutal in order to survive. I don't think it was just rage that made him beat the enemy with their own dismembered arm, but assurance that the monster would not attack again. The absence of nudity has nothing to do with him being milder in his later years. Think about it. He could reject sex with a random woman or not look at a monster's tits, but why was there nudity in the old and not in the new? Pretentious art game, ashamed of its roots.

Also everything this man said:

Is genuinely disturbing how disgusting every new AAA game looks. They took the concept of uncanny valley and decided to take it to the extreme. Unnecessary level of detail everywhere, hyper focused camera in the mug of every character, nothing has a color palette because all you see is prefabricated assets disjointedly done without any type of artistic direction.

The protagonist feels as if someone was running around in a green screen using a motion capture suit. The weapons look like cheap playdough props. To the side of your hyper mega detailed realistic face in which you can count eyelashes, you have your cutey little disney toon with bug eyes and a talking cube. Nothing of this would be out of place in the dozen marvel films where everything is fake green screen and the only real thing is the actor (also filled with CGI so they can give them the non-existent muscles and asses).

If this was a movie it would be considered rubbish for its 0 cinematographic value and the abuse of stupid camera angles.
If it was a book it would be condemned for the ridiculously robotic and disconnected dialog.
But I guess since is a videogame it can get away with the worst of both worlds.
