>>28367Remember when cutscenes were pre-rendered, and had an actual artistic style attributed to them that made you want to see what would happen next in the story? I remember as a kid thinking "OH WOW PRERENDERED CUTSCENES IN THE FUTURE WILL BE INSAAAANE". Magic is gone now, it's all real-time dog raisin in some version of UE, trying to copy some successful template (for nu-GoW they decided Dark Souls a game that isn't about combat, but is about how you plan a build to tackle challenges), and end up completely misunderstanding gameplay design as a whole. Sony Santa Monica deserves to get hit by a fucking asteroid with the entire team inside. I think it's intentional, and was really about pushing agendas.
>oh look remember hyper masculine blood thirsty killer man who combo-fucks gods like a motherfucker at highspeeds because his family is dead?>what if we took him, made him a pacifist, had him adopt feminine traits, and gave him another family!Oh and the fucking gay squirrel thing in the sequel. I strongly feel they sacrificed Kratos, and his IP to push gay-butt sex equality and josh whedon quips.
