Why did people hate this game so much? I remember really liking it

Friendless virgins as usual. Great multiplayer and coop.

because it sucked

3 was peak
GoW series is like a mountain really: climbing from 1 to 3 and then falling from 3 to Ragnarok

>>717049107 (OP)
I remember the enemies being damage sponges.

it came after 3 where the series peaked
also it was the second origin story taking place before GoW 1, people were tired

pretty much this, even the PSP titles were better than the Norse duology trying to be Last of Us

It was pretty but mechanically it was extremely stale and it came out after God of War 3 so the reduction of scale, story intensity, and weapon diversity was a real step back. It was fine, but felt like the series limping along without a direction or a future.

it was an interquel released after the concluding entry in a franchise, that always strikes people with a strong sense of soullessness.
>why does this story matter? why are you focusing on this one specific window of time when the series is already over?
a prequel released after the franchise has concluded often has the same issues but at least that has the possibility of recontexualizing the entire series. an interquel feels completely pointless and redundant.

Cause while it was good, it wasn't as good as 3, so at the time people thought "if its not better than 3 why bother". Still, its leagues better than any nu-gow we must be le better man + cringe mcu quips.

Because they fucked up the combat because of the multiplayer. Someone at SM though it was a good idea to do a multiplayer combat game and just copy paste it to single player.

Why don't lock 90% of moves behind a meter that depletes with time or enemy hits? Oh and make every enemy attack all the time even when there are 20 on screen, that would be fun.

It was also filled with bugs and generally unpolished. The best part was the beginning with the 500 arm dude, the rest is trash.

Do you guys really forgot the completely changed combat system or what?

>>717050162
Also this, they had to accommodate for mp making it suck ass. A 1v1 system just doesn't work against tons of enemies and huge bosses. They even removed extra weapons ffs.

still better than nu-gows, don't reply to me if you think otherwise, I won't read

all i remember they introduced secondary weapons you can pick up and discard which made no fucking sense because why on earth would you use some weak ass axe when you have the blades of chaos

>>717049107 (OP)
I don't hate it. I think it's a good game.

>>717053185
That lou trash has nothing to do with ascension being shit

>>717053185
Because of mp, like all the other changes. I don't get why they made all a single system
