God of War is a good series and I'm tired of pretending it isn't

This. And it's also made by a Japanese company so it's good.

Who the fuck holds their controller like that?

QTEs are used the exact same way in both games they're only used to finish off bosses

>it was a good franchise
Old Zig Forums would have mass replied to this post already. WAAH WAAH SQUARE SQUARE

remember when "movie game" used to mean something? now it's only used by newfags

>le epic music makes it completely different!
Sad cope

Cope.

If you used Asura's Wrath I would concur.

I can definitely see Zig Forums seething at the original God of War trilogy for being a western take on character action games with bigger focus on set-pieces and bombastic boss fights. The truth is the series has always been good even if they are button mashy. nu-God of War also has a fun combat system and less QTEs while still maintaining a good presentation and yet Zig Forums seethes because it's on a PlayStation console exclusively.

The only bad God of War games are Ascension and arguably the original due to the later games blowing it out of the water in comparison.

You should watch armored core fights, they hold it upside down

Movie game should always refer to style over substance cinematic trash, whether you like the game or not You can't just make exceptions because it's le epic and le rules of nature.

Don't be a hypocrite. Simple as.

You can also make simple music and draw stickmen but whatever some people like a challenge.

You're both baby's first action game don't worry

It's great (1--3) and so is MGR. Not sure why you'd put them against each other when both are appreciated by the same base. It's DMCucks who try to force the meme that games not being about juggling sandbags makes it bad (while having a shallow Kratos ripoff in ther games called Nero).

The right clip is juggling a sandbag while randomly changing attacks for no reason, literally dealing less damage than he would if he was mashing triangle.

>spam the same two moves
Found the retard who disregards the entire style point system, and just plays the game to get from point A to point B. Reminds me of the people who just bum rush through the arcade mode of a fighter and call it a day without learning the character

But even so, spamming two moves is still better than just spamming square in GoW

>Play first God of War entirely in hard mode.
>Actually turn it off spamming the respawn button when I die at some point because it constantly asks you if you want to change to easy mode when you die. There is no way to disable this.
>Don't fucking notice somehow.
>Don't get the cheevo.
FUCK.

Guess which series ended up dead and forgotten after only 3 games?

>Reposting.

Yes, you're starting to catch on

Cope with what? DMC when played efficiently is a 1 -2 button affair. The spastic shit in that webm isn't at all relevant, you can do random inefficient inputs for no reason in any game, including FFXV (the game that's being made fun of there).

It's like saying BotW has good combat because or the millions of pointless physics interactions and people making "combo videos" for it

Sony's shitshock gamepad design forces it's users to have a cope grip.

Guess which series ended up as cinematic and barely even has one game under its belt?

Pitiful soijack.

> The spastic shit in that webm isn't at all relevant
Except that playing it as a 1-2 button affair earns you no style points.

That's the lesson with the game's industry
The one that appeals to casuals the most always wins

That's how we're where we're at

It's more to show the hypocrisy over QTEs, shitting on GOW for having them while giving Platinum games a pass

Explain the popularity of Soulsborne games and their marketing of "the most brutal RPGs you can play"

Alo dolboebina, otkrivai rot
Seichas budu tuda ssat'

why do you want to argue about one dead series and one series turned moviegame so badly?

>the entire style point system
The best way to get style/combo points (the metric by which these games measure 'style') is spamming a few exploitable attacks over and over.
In many cases you can just unga bungs and get an S rank like >spamming two moves is still better than just spamming square in GoW
The difference is spamming two moves is how you kill enemies in DMC, whole spamming square gets you killed in GoW.

> being able to beat the game in the bare-minimum way is all that matters

Have you got an example of that, it sounds really cool

seethe harder tranny

When it comes to game design, yes, because people are shitting on GoW for the exact same thing.

>barely even has one game under its belt
What did he mean by this?

The operative word there being marketing.

Cope.

Why not? This is Zig Forums the home of pointless discussions

people are shitting on nu-gow because it doesn't properly sell being "cuhrazy" while still attempting to have gameplay akin to "cuhrazy" games.

I mean "mashing x to watch a pretty cutscene" does not make a game.

>while having a shallow Kratos ripoff in ther games called Nero
I don't remember Devil Bringer oneshotting enemies
I don't remember glowing qte button above enemy in DMC
I don't remember qtes during devil bringer attack
I don't remember Nero being invulnerable during buster animation while enemy buddy just jerks off
You fucked up, retard

Revengeance is 10 times the hack and slash god of war is lol

God of War 1 and 2 are great games. 3 has a shit story but cool moments.

We're mostly talking about the originals in this thread though.

Very smart

The point is, hard games that don't appeal to casuals can do well too.
>Super Meat Boy
>Hollow Knight
>Souls games
>Cuphead
>Nioh
>Getting Over It with Bennet Foddy
etc.
All these are examples of challenging games, that don't appeal to casuals, that have been successful.

Oh man this guy is still at it?

Why does this series make spergs seethe so hard?

Except he gets an S rank in the webm, which is what those 'points' exist for.

Also wrong. Spamming one/two moves is far better at building style than juggling some sandbag for 20 seconds while flying around the screen like a retard. Spiral spam will build points to S on its own.

Never played God of war, but Metal gear rising is about the only game that I can think of that does qte's right

Because soulsborne isn't actually hard

Shit I guess Bayonetta isn't a real game either
