It used to be this metal power fantasy, but got turned into complete neutered nu-soiyshit, and now most normalnigs associate the series with it.

gow was always shit though

Realistically though all they had to do was make a normal, slow paced GoW game for the first game and then let Kratos become an avatar of Khorne in Ragnarok. But no, as part of the times he had to become a self-hating retard.

ironically enough TLOU. they managed to kill a franchise that opened with 30 million units sold (which is a remarkable amount of sales for a new game) by shitting on the main character from the first game even more than gow ever could

(You)

>>723100113
Yeah? Because the modern zeitgeist can't have writers write a normal character, but as a political analogy or subversive propaganda.

I can understand wanting to give him more depth than a raging berserker, but giving it to modern day writers turned him into an unlikeable caricature.

Not that it matters. Pokemon fans deserve the games they get at this point.

>>723099384
Alternatively, they could have made a new Nordic themed character instead of using Kratos again.

>>723101459
I prefer the ending where he gets shot and killed, a fitting end to any criminal

>>723098162
it was the definition of a weekend rental game.
now its just gay.

>>723102362
>sword/shield was worse
I wouldn’t know because Moon made me drop the franchise after being a lifelong fan since day 1 like a bad habit.
Was sword/shit really worse than SM? SM removed the region/map itself and replaced it with a deviated hallway where you run toward a red waypoint flag you can’t deviate from. It’s not even a pokemon game anymore at that point. Just a battle sim hidden behind some gay, shitty “AHH THIS AIR TASTES GOOD I LOVE WEARING SHORTS” dialogue/story.
I piss on the grave of whoever made SM. Not to mention half the dex is literal furshit.

>>723100919
It’s funny you thought this was a good rebuttal when Gen X boomers think modern Mario IS A SISSY. And Link. Thanks for proving my point

>>723102769
No idea what the fuck you’re talking about. Mario in Brawl is the most hardcore he’s ever been and as a kid I thought it was a bit much compared to his Melee version which was bing-wahoo letsago man but Brawlio was like a DBZ character. Either way Letsago vs Ey I’m walkin ere is a sidegrade in masculinity either way, one of those isn’t soi compared to the other
now that you mention it they made Mario Brooklyn Mario in that new movie and he was a complete soi-ass cuckold pussy
dumb troon

>>723102769
modern link is absolutely a sissy all the way down to wearing female clothes.

Reading is hard for you Juan. I get it. *I* never said modern Mario is a sissy so I didn’t read the rest of your post directed at me like I did but Gen X boomers do

>>723103318
Okay so what is your point then other than being a seething tranny? We’re waiting.

>>723103461
Okay going back through the chain of replies whatever you said about gen xers thinking Mario is gay is just rubbish compared to Kratos. Mario was never ruined and no one on Earth thinks that.
Except for the new movie where he is a literal gay pussy being beat up by Peach the whole time.

>>723102709
Yeah. I sort of liked Sun and Moon but Sword and Shield made me react like you did to SM

I literally just posted an example of the kind of person that does think that. He was infamous for constantly shitting on anything past the SNES(but mostly NES) era.

>>723103783
Slowly explain to me what you liked about SM.
I was genuinely angry and never played the game again at the fire trial if you remember that. They removed gyms for this?
>Do you see a silly man on screen? Yes/No
>Yes…
>Are the Marowaks dancing? Yes/No
>Yes…….?????????
>Congratulatins here’s your faggot flamer tiki totem or whatever
What the actual fuck? Literally not a game. Mavis Beacon and Leapfrog math games are more actual games than SM. SM makes me violently angry.
Not to mention it killed legacy support and hardware connection and forced you to use the paid subscription online Pokédex storage thing to trade.
I piss and shit on th developer’s graves.

When will you fags realize nobody gives a damn about your autism? People liked GoW because it was cool. Nobody gives a fuck about your Bloody Palace XBOX cheevos or your Ninja Gaiden youtube videos about the wildest air combos.
Character action fags are even more clueless than fighting game fans, at least the latter knows most humans will never give a fuck about their mechanical complexity niggery and hyper competitiveness.

NTA but this is 100% what I hate about the state of this board, I mocked this game as casual trash from the start but now it's 'cool and classic' just cause a bunch of zoomers want to be contrarian that the trash series had even trashier sequels.

>>723106880
The average opinion means shit when mainstream tastes are trash to begin with. NuGoW is considered just as good as the originals by the normalfags, which proves the whole point.

>>723099108
>square square square is more successful than Ninja GAYden
WesternGODS >>> Slanteyes

>>723107019
It's not "contrarian" to like the gow games, unlike what you said. That was my only point

>>723106880
That hasn't been true since $0ytos.

>>723106625
Caring about a game being casual is about on par with with console war logic. Thinking that a complex game is inherently better than a simpler one is childish. And most people on /v/ now are legit too old to care about this nonsense especially as some actually have a wife or even kids now. Or just a job. Or maybe they're so tired and jaded NEETs they just don't care about epic gaming skills anymore.
Point being, again, nobody cares GoW gameplay is mashing buttons. People liked it because it was cool, brutal, and manly. Many wish a game like this could come out nowadays in the post woke era.

>>723107192
It is 100% contrarian to defend the original just because of the modern culture war drama

>>723107310
Trve

>>723098162
they hate you because you told the truth

>>723107310
It's 100% normal to realize how much you miss something once it was taken away from you.
I don't need to do that either though, I "defend" (lol) old GoW because I enjoyed it.

>>723107286
It's never been cool or manly, it's just capeshit edgy slop coated in surface level mythology references. Even /v/ back then knew it was shallow garbage and kids trying to act like it's some kind of meaningful classic is the definition of OLD GOOD NEW BAD.

>>723107286
>more casual coping

>>723106130
>Sales numbers
>MY SALES!
Ok? By this logic Nu-GoW is simply a much better game by all margin

>>723107516
Then stop crying about losing actual trash and get better taste.

What makes a game manly?

>>723107653
No, I don't give a fuck, you fat loser.
I guarantee whatever you think is "better taste" is some retarded basedboy slop.

>>723107670
Nothing, read the actual Greeks if you want actual male role models, you shouldn't be basing your standards on video game superheroes to begin with.

>>723107738
GoW has always been Retarded Basedboy Slop is the core matter, the only thing that's changed is the new games trying to pander to a different breed of slop eaters.

>>723107738
>I don't give a fuck I'm just going to keep crying and shitting my adult MANLY huggies whenever someone online disagrees with me

>>723107826
You are so pretentious it hurts.
Do you ever have fun at parties or do you constantly nag that people aren't having fun the right way?
Once again old GoW had brutal violence, hot chicks and didn't give a fuck about moralfagging. It's a masculine game.

>>723107928
So if a game being gory and showing tits is retarded basedboy slop. What is your idea of an intellectual masculine game to you?

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS

See this >>723105035

>>723108121
I'm not a normalfag who needs to fit in at parties or base their entire self worth on how a capeshit hero looks like. I just play actual good games with my friends instead of wasting my time whining about the state of modern trash and that it wasn't the same brand of trash from 20 years ago. Most problems with modern gaming can just be solved by disengaging from slop and firing up a old emulator to play the real games while finding the occasional hidden gems that show up in the corners of the modern industry now and then.

>>723108473
>or base their entire self worth on how a capeshit hero looks like.
I'm not sure what brought you to bring this up for a couple posts, is it because of the Better Man meme? Nobody actually bases their morality on old Kratos. We just miss the time when you could have an MC like him in a game without troons seething.
>Most problems with modern gaming can just be solved by disengaging from slop and firing up a old emulator
Yes but that's the opt out path. A lot of people care about games going forward so it's not so strange they would make complaints.
And if you're totally detached you don't have cause to care about chuds making fun of new GoW anyway.

>>723108767
The problem is that Kratos was always a shitty MC and it's astounding people actually want the most generic characters back when they were all bland and shallow to begin with. Opting out has always been the best path cause fixating on the modern trash only helps perpetuate it.

>>723102170
Because Anthony Burch who wrote this game meant by that being an emasculated low t cuck like himself, it's not about virtue or strength of character

>>723107089
I mean yeah, of course it would be more successful. Ninja Gaidens were too hard for normalfags that usually scoff at it due to this reason alone.

>>723098081 (OP)
I called Lucifer a faggot and the loser is still calling me retard on 4chan.

>>723109215
They just want the characters to have "bite" instead of being preachy. That's it.
Kratos was never regarded as a good character by most but that was a simpler time and people realized they'd rather have a retarded MC in a game with balls than whatever slop Sony will choose to waste 200m dollars next.

It never was though. It was a fun series

>>723109731
Then just play one of those 1000s of old games with "bite" instead, or even read books or movies of that caliber as well. Zoomers doing nothing but whining and complaining about modern MC's being trash is just annoying when the whole problem is exclusively caring about the state of the AAA characters made exclusively for bland mass market appeal.

Pretty much. They're cool and fun to play. No game offers the same sense of combat flow as 3. DMC and similar games are much more technical, but are closer to fighting games in that regard, which is already a somewhat niche genre that you either love or hate.
