There's a saying in media, when making a show or story.
>Is this the most interesting part of the character's story? If so, why aren't we there?
That's not to say you can't have simple or calm parts, but they need to serve the purpose of getting to the interesting parts of a character's story.
The old GoW had that. It had the downer beginning to immediately jump to why the main character decided to kill himself, explored through a big set piece. The new GoW failed at that immediately. Kratos is not moving towards an interesting part of his life, and it has to quite literally knock at his door ten minutes later.
There is so much "Why aren't we there?" in the newer GoW that it's sickening to think that the reason it gets away with it from a story perspective is because the player has a controller in their hand and can press the left joystick forward.
That's not good story writing, that's a crutch.

>>713263184 (OP)

Both games are designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator. The result is the equivalent of claiming Transformers is the best movie of all time and that the runner up was fast and the furious which everyone knows to be false.

The only thing proven here is that the masses are mentally challenged and that the foundations of democracy should be revisited and updated.

As for your statement about games relation to art, i disagree. Not only video games have as much right to be considered art as movies (considering the creation of both involve pretty much the same disciplines) but there is no other form of cultural expression that accounts for interactivity, which is a defining trait of contemporary culture. Off course not all games could be considered art in the same way not all movies are. Namely we should consider the industrial aspects of it and how some times it´s more about the manufacturing of a product rather than about expression. We should also take care to consider that certain technologies involved exist only to speed up production in detriment of the use of real artistic skill. AI aside industries have developed stuff like motion capture to avoid animation and all kind of procedural tools to build up NPCs and whatnot.

Big studios using these tools are certainly not making art but by itself that doesn´t mean games can´t be art as it still possible to use the more traditional methods in creation on passion projects.

>>713267924
I just want to tell you that God of War 2018 (this applies less to the sequel, because that isn't that highly regarded anyways), will be seen as a highly overrated game in retrospect. You know what happened to Fallout 3 and Skyrim? Both were highly critically acclaimed. Both were considered the 2 greatest games of all time, now people rate them more appropriately. The same thing will happen with God of War. It's an overrated game that will be considered a 6/10 in the future. Give it 10 years or so.

>>713264803
Not really, but also, God of War probably doesn't have enough mechanical depth to fit in that group. It's more like one of those 3D brawler games you'd get on PS1 or PS2 that were sort of spiritual successors to shit like Streets of Rage, before people realised those kind of games were always gay. They repurposed that genre once gaming hit it big with Joe Retard and execs realised the simplified gameplay would appeal to those types and well, here we are

NTA, but just so you know, a game being difficult doesn't necessarily mean that it has good combat or gameplay. What actually changes with the higher difficulty settings in GOW? Do enemies just get more health and do more damage? Because that still won't change the game being poor on a mechanical level.

In 2025 I don't know a single person going back and revisiting God of War 2018, or even putting it on a pedestal. It's largely been forgotten. RDR2 still gets brough up and is looked as a standard setter for the industry.

>muh walking simulator
There's literally more action gameplay in nu-GoW than the vast majority of games you guys play. You just post the same .webms of the few "walking sim" scenes for the story as if that's the entire game.

Also, they're hard as fuck on give me god of war, the vast majority of you scrubs could never beat the Valkyries or or the Valkyrie Queen which just tells me you guys never actually played these games in the first place, you just hop on the bandwagon of circlejerk hate to fit in with all the other contrarian retards who saw a .webm of these game and decided to hate it for that.

>>713270252
I may be gay and I may be retarded but uh... wait what was that third thing you said

>>713270449
Again, hard gameplay does not make gameplay necessarily good. Too much time went into the "cinematics" instead of the gameplay, which has resulted in bad gameplay.

>>713264687
Arkham, Witcher, AC, Shadow of Morder style of combat where you press square to automatically combo multiple attacks through a crowd of people surrounding you is perhaps the most brain dead gameplay ever.

>>713270686
You guys really didn't play the games and it shows. You're just follower simps who parrot what all the other contrarians who have been told to hate these games by /v/ over the years.

There's plenty of gameplay in both games, more than most games in general. I don't see you guys complain that something like the witcher 3 has a ton of cutscenes or story content. I don't see you guys complaining that something like resident evil does. But god forbid a game have some walking segments where the characters talk and the story is developed, god fucking forbid the entire game isn't a non-stop action sequence.

>>713269174
RDR2, Subnautica, and Kingdom Come Deliverance were all better games from 2018. I don’t think it’s particularly close either.

>>713269453
Like with The Last of Us. Remember when it won Game of the Year, and the developers had the Banderas meme recreated with Joel ready to celebrate?

>>713271125
>But god forbid a game have some walking segments where the characters talk and the story is developed, god fucking forbid the entire game isn't a non-stop action sequence.
NTA and I do like God of War, but I do think all story should be relegated to skippable cutscenes. It's just better for everyone

>>713271125
Dude, open your fucking eyeballs and read the fucking post. You can have 0 (ZERO) cutscenes and have 100% gameplay, and that gameplay can still be bad. There is BAD gameplay and there is GOOD gameplay. God of War has BAD gameplay, it doesn't matter how much it has if it's bad.

>>713263412

>>713271125
>You're just follower simps
>It’s good that games have long following sequences
Au contraire, retard-kun. Our palates are incredibly refined.

The original GoW games are so much better. The 2018 one is a feminist version of Kratos. The Constant "We must be better" is similar to real life where feminists say "do better" to you when you call them out. The whole game was just propaganda since Kratos is way weaker and more pussified compared to his younger self. Also the kid doesn't shut up and constantly tells you what to do if you take like 5 minutes with the 'puzzles'.

>>713268146

>>713263412
Yeah and its okay. It has a few fun cinematic boss fights and I thought the narrative was decent, especially the stuff with Baldur (sorry i mean uh its onions!). Puzzles were boring, all the "RPG elements" sucked and most of the side content was extremely forgettable. The combat was decent and weighty but the fact that there are only like 5 enemy types makes killing the same exact troll guy for the 10th time really repetitive and the flying elf enemies are the bane of my existence, especially in that one elevator fight at the end. I'll probably play ragnarok at some point. It's a decent game and I'm not gonna judge someone for enjoying it but it's far from GOAT status

Which games should be considered for greatest of all times?
Games that are pinnacles of game design, And have great presentations as Video games And are deeper/more complex than the average game
Examples are:
DMC3/5
Heroes of Might and Magic 3
Starcraft /Brood War
insert fav From game here
insert fav Capcom fighter here
Ninja Gaiden Black /2
Nioh /2
MGS3
Zelda TotK
Age of Empires 2

Games that should NOT be in this consideration:
Jack of all trades master of none games like GTA
sandbox/toybox games that lack game design directing players to have an amazing time, eg. Minecraft or most multiplayer only/party games
Games that while achieved their intended game design goals, those goals were simplistic to begin with, this includes simple platformers or pretty much the entire FPS genre, including HL2, which despite /v/'s hypocrisy and nostalgia, is hardly different from cinematic simplistic action games like nu-GoW

GoW 2018 has some of the best third person action gameplay of any game. It's a massive improvement over soulslikes, since it doesn't require lock-on camera.

Funny how you guys want RDR2 to win yet complain about movie games.

The problem with new God of War is there's too much narrative which leads to these extremely long segments of the game with you just standing around doing nothing, waiting for these characters to stop talking or walking/rowing boats doing the exact same thing - waiting

People might claim the original God of War games aren't for "modern" audiences but that didn't mean the games had to become boring and slow paced. Even the overly narrative sections of the original God of War games happened when you were playing or during intense cut scenes which quickly throw you back into the game to engage with what just happened

Old God of War games could tell the story and keep the gameplay engaging, for some reason new God of War games cannot

>>713274656
dota2 (just like all the other mobas) is ultimately not a great game despite it's well designed complexity. I'm saying this as someone who was fooled into playing probably over a thousand hour with it, and I regret almost all of it.
The game just doesn't create you many great memories for the time invested in it (and I'm saying this as someone who also spent hundreds if not thousand+ hours in other competitive games like rts or fighting games). It doesn't have the great presentation/variety in presentation and power fantasy that for example fighting games have, and in general it's a lot more timewastey, there is a lot of downtime where you are not doing particularly engaging tasks in it, that you kind of just forget about later, tricking you into wanting to play more.

>>713274715
yes
90% of the FPS gameplay is the equivalent of "click on this icon on the desktop fast", just with nicer presentation
Not saying they can't mix in other mechanics too, but the very basic action of just clicking on things to make them disappear is very overwhelmingly what you are doing in them, and even adding a few layers of complexity on that like non-hitscan weapons that you have to time/space a bit differently doesn't give these games anywhere near as much complexity that most competent hack n slash games have in their fundamentals. Also don't confuse complexity for difficulty. Setting some "brutal difficulty" mode (or online play) in an FPS can be very difficult as it requires very strict timings with your aiming, but that doesn't make the game more complex.

RDR2 has 1 woke side mission about an old racist man and then Arthur suddenly tries to be virtuous. The feminist parade wasn't woke. Because Arthur straight up said he didn't give a fuck about women's rights and only agreed to the job once they gave him money. It's also way better written and has much better dialogue than God of War if we're going to get into the story. The actual content, and quality of the game also curve stops God of War into the ground. Santa Monica would be totally fucking lost if they were tasked with making another Red Dead Redemption game following 2. GoW 2018 lackw identity and felt like it was made in the vein of Naughty Dog and Ubislop development choice's.

You should re-play that game being generous with the "re-" because you are mistaken about how that game plays.

>>713263412
I did and it was so boring I don't even recall how the story went. The gameplay is also utter slop and only gets slightly fun at that "challenge of the Titans" planet, then drops to shit again. They ruined GoW.

>WoW lost to Call of Duty 4

>>713277335
>you think FPSes are limited but not fighting games, which is probably the most limited gaming genre ever?
you are confusing "limitations" of "role playing" (eg. being able to freely roam in an fps game) vs limitations in game design goals
your goals and the gameplay you will do as a result of this design in fps games is far more limited than it is in fighting games (or most other genres). In an fps you will progress in an area, siluette appears, you click on it, rinse and repeat (ofc there can be variations with enemy survivability and behaviour but the fundamentals are these)
in a fighting game in neutral you have have dozens if not a hundred+ options at your disposal with all the moves and techs you have, and thousands of combinations to continue those options.
don't forget, fighting games literally have the most amount of terms/concepts in the entire gaming.

also, I'm not claiming FPS is a bad genre, but if you have to discuss the absolute best of the best then yeah, I think so far there is any FPS game out there that I would put among them. Also not saying that a well designed FPS game doesn't worth a playthrough, the same way I'm not saying that a game like Super Mario 3 doesn't worth one, I just think there are too many options to fill a greatest of all times list, even if you want to includ dozens of games in it.

>>713265261
Anon, people are calling it a movie because one third of the game are classical cutscenes and another third are "totally not a cutscene because you have to hold down forward"-cutscenes.

>The feminist parade wasn't woke
The retard typed unironically. Let's ignore how pro-minority rights Arthur is for a white guy in 1900. Meanwhile, the most "woke" thing that happens in GoW 2018 is that there's one woman in the game and Kratos hasn't killed or fucked her by the end. GoW story isn't fantastic but RDR2's is complete dogshit, literally the Arthur part of the game goes like this:
>"Arthur, I have a plan"
>"Dutch, your plans fucking awful and they never work"
>"Just do it Arthur"
>"OK"
Repeat that 60 times until Arthur dies, then you get to spend hours shoveling shit in barns and other interesting gameplay activities as John.
>Santa Monica would be totally fucking lost if they were tasked with making another Red Dead Redemption game following 2
And what, Rockstar could make a sequel to God of War no problem? Dumbass, they have the most dogshit gameplay in the entire AAA industry. A literal aimbot is on by default in RDR2, that's how little confidence they have in how well their own game plays.

Again, if you can't objectively recognize Half-Life 1, Doom Eternal, and L4D2 with friends as some of the best experiences a person can get out of the gaming medium, I feel like you aren't qualified to discuss the subject to the extent you're trying to discuss it. Your taste in gaming is extremely limited and bland, which is fine, but don't act like you're some sort of connoisseur.

>>713278424
Nta but I would definitely be more inclined to play a new Rockstar game over whatever slop the gays and wokies at Santa Monica are making. The director is literally a fucking soi boy andn is all about faggot shit. Nobody at Rockstar goes on Twitter and says all the gay shit he does. Find it ironic you're talking about woke shit when Santa Monica is 10 times more woke and outspoken about their woke shit then Rockstar is.

>>713272628
It's a very polished AAA game with a very large budget, cinematic cut scenes all over the place, very safe third person action combat with some generic RPG mechanics on top.
If it's the first game you've ever played you'll probably be very impressed. Otherwise you'll be bored, because all of that stuff feels like you've already seen and played it many times before. It's not terrible, but very bland, which sometimes feels worse.

>>713279094

NuZelda being there instead of OoT is some embarrassing recency bias from tendies that can't think back to more than 2 games ago. At least the 4 other games are actually massively influential, though I'd argue Doom is way more than Dark Souls. You could argue that OoT laid the groundwork for a game like Demon's Souls to even exist.

At the very least there's no excuse for
>Chrono Trigger lost to Burnout 3: Takedown
or
>Diablo 2 lost to Witcher 3
Regardless of how you personally feel about Chrono Trigger or Diablo 2, whether you dislike them or think they're overrated or whatever, their influence on gaming culture has been undeniable. To this day, games are still copying features and mechanics from those two games whereas shit like Witcher 3 was completely forgettable slop, only discussed today so that people can criticize it or talk about which girl they want to fuck.

But that's why audience polls are always shit. They're not concerned with how innovative or influential a game was; they literally just think
>which racing game did I enjoy playing on my xbox when I was a kid?

Yes, it was okay. Cool idea to make a sequel of different genre and tone like they did, but it should've been a million times better. My problem is that here really isn't focus on Kratos actually regretting his past, or a threat that he will go back to being a world-ending god-slayer like before. Those happen, sure, but it feels superficial compared to what it's actually happening. Most of it is walking, doing fuck-all, coming across puzzles only to be told the answer 0.3 seconds afterwards (they might not have been boring otherwise), a combat that is okayish, all while Atreus has daddy issues. The story is a bit boring and could really use more cutscenes over characters talking trivial shit while you walk, or you walking across a forced cutscene.
Whatever gripes I had though, the sequel was worse lmao.

>"The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. (...) Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest (...) Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved."

>"The Beatles sold a lot of records not because they were the greatest musicians but simply because their music was easy to sell to the masses: it had no difficult content, it had no technical innovations, it had no creative depth.

Everything said here is completely retarded. The Beatles completely changed the complexion of popular music. All you have to do to see that is go watch one of those videos that shows you which songs were topping the charts in each year, and there’s a massive shift after The Beatles. They were also very prolific in a short space of time and experimental with their sound, in ways that would become hugely influential.

>>713263521
notice how the same few games always keep astroturfed to infinity, not just these 5, but many more
It's the type of shit people find from google "TOP 10 VIDEO GAMES" and they pick the first few games to play and now they're seasoned "gamers", shit like GTA5, RDR2, Deus Ex etc.
Minecraft is a sandbox for autistically building things, as a game it's just shit. It serves better as a

Half-Life 2 was a cool physics engine tech demo, that's about it, after Ravenholm, it just loses all of its steam.

BotW is some of the most boring shit to ever grace the face of the earth, the padded empty world, pretentious score, garbage console user interface, physics gimmicks and arbitrary mechanics made to purely inconvenience the player solidified its place in my "never touching again" library of games. Its open-endedness is the only aspect worthy of applause, if they condensed the world to like 1/4th of its size, you'd have something resembling a proper game.

Doom is just a relic of its time. I don't deny its role in video game history and influence for FPS game after it, but it's just that, history. Nostalgia doesn't make the game any less boring after you run through hangar, vibing with the music and the demon sfx until the very next stages bring you back to reality of running around in mazes of repetitive maps with the same one dimensional enemies.

Dark Souls is a genuinely enjoyable experience at least for your first time ever without having burnt out on the whole concept of "souls likes". Simple yet satisfing combat, interesting, interconnected world, good enemy and boss variety, challenging, fun to explore. Few bad decisions like bed of chaos and ceaseless discharge, run backs to bosses, and a lot of vast empty areas where it feels like they either ran out of time and/or budget, or just didn't polish, like the yard and crystal caverns leading up to Seath, entirety of Anor Londo just being completely hollow, Lost Izalith and possibly forgetting some other place.

I beat it and did a lot of the side content.
You know when people say "It gets good x number of hours in"?
I was waiting for that moment like my entire playthrough.
I got to the final valkyrie boss after forcing myself to beat the rest of them, and that fight was when I realized that this game's combat is bad. Straight up bad.
It's a disgusting mashup between bamham and souls combat systems. Completely and utterly regressive compared to series like devil may cry, which the original ps2-3 GoWs combat systems were based on.
You lose so much combat complexity and intensity for the sake of cinematic movie bullshit, which they're obviously more concerned about than making good combat. Developers like that have simply lost their way, and their games aren't worth playing after that point. Cause they're objectively making piss poor games at that point. You're literally paying for bad games at that point. All the shit that they're min maxing on during development can all be experienced on youtube. And it'll be a better format for it, because it'll skip the chore-esque gameplay that the developers begrudgingly shit all over their glorified B movie with to justify them labeling it as a "game".

this is unironically why nintendo can’t stop winning. all they have to do is shit out a mario 64 clone with reskinned graphics and it’s practically game of the year because the competition is shooting out faggy 40 hour “interactive” dramas

I actually played it recently out of curiosity after years hearing about it being either the best or worst thing ever. The game itself is alright as long as you don't focus on the combat; amazing visuals and I found the level design to be mostly good. The combat, however, is terrible and the thing that pisses me off the most is that you can kind of tell there was somewhat of a decent foundation at first, but it was completely evaporated with some of the most dumbfounded choices I've ever seen in an "action" game: terrible lock-on, cooldowns, levels and gear like it's a fucking RPG. Also, some enemies are abysmal like those witches that teleport all the time and have awful hitboxes. The only fights I would say were mostly good without a lot of "buts" attached are the Valkyries, and you had to go completely out of your way for them. Still, fighting some of those you realize how bad the combat is because that's the only time the game more or less seems to want you to take it "seriously" as an action game, but the garbage system won't allow it because everything on it kneels to moronic RPG mechanics.

I'm not even a big GoW fan and when I think about 2018 in the context of action games it makes me mad. Sony Santa Monica should have caught more shit for selling out like that, but everyone praised it like they reinvented the wheel instead of taking away mechanics from whatever was popular at the time and slapping them together in a known brand.

Yeah it was alright, and the (you)'s you got proof that fags on here dont play video games, they just hate them for reasons other people who also didnt play them hate it.

It was a pretty good game with a really fun combat system, tho I liked the axe a ton more then the chains. My only big problem was that the game peaked in the intro, nothing gets close to the intro boss fight. Also the ghost pirate ship part was the most shit encounter ever put into a game. Mashing Y for 5 minutes got the job done.

But GOAT? No. Its fun, but its just too much like other Sony first party games. Its not special enough to hold that title.

But again, I cant stress enough how sheep like the /v/ user base is. They dont play shit just assume everything is trash and listen to people that think the same so their world view of everything is shit gets confirmed. They are just as much sheep as the people they critique. Only this herd of sheep are retarded and drown in a lake thinking they are better because they dont let a dog tell them what to do

You can (and should) appreciate the influence the Beatles had on pop music.

And boomer still praise them because it was their time and nostalgia is one hell of a drug.
A good vidya analogy would be RE4 - RE4babbies played it and have been treating it as the second coming of Christ ever since. And while RE4 is not a *bad* game and one can appreciate the influence it had on the industry, it's certainly not the GOTYAY they make it out to be.

It was fine and I enjoyed it enough to not regret playing it, but I wouldn't really give it a second playthrough.
The combat doesn't grip me as much as it's sucked off to be, I'd rather play PS4 Spiderman (keeping in line with a modern example) for an action game, even if that game is all spectacle but no substance it's fun enough to justify sinking a couple hours a week.

B is pushing it. It's a high D at best: nothing gamebreaking or broken about the game, but the gameplay is so anemic, the only thing less gamelike would be VNs or those full-motion videos that were marketed as games in the 90s. Also the story sucks so it didn't even take advantage of that aspect of the game.
