God of War 2 was legit Really Really Good. I replayed it not long ago. 3 and whatever the one or two after 3 were Real Bad. The new one looks like it'll be Okay.

What happended to children in video games being universally despised
I always got the impression that for a long time kids were deliberately designed to be annoying as some kind of weird edgy "gently caress kids" statement. then there are the games with bratty protagonists, as a half hearted attempt to connect with young audiences or something. what changed is that people got better at writing kids you don't want to abandon in the woods and also the average age of game protagonists increased.

GoW kid seems fine IMO but putting him in that game makes it seem like its really confused about what kind of game it wants to be

I can agree with this, chainsawing people in deathmatch is cool. But it's popularity also permanently crippled shooter level design, and we have yet to escape the hell of rooms full of waist high concrete cover

I really want to make a highlight reel of every moment in a video game where you come up to a crevasse and have to straddle your way through. Bonus points if the game has something try to grab you while you're in there.

Raxivace posted:

For me the issue tend to be movies that are over 2 hours long but under 3 hours. When movies commit to being 3 hours or longer, there's usually good enough pacing to not make the film it feel like its dragging, at least to me. Stuff in that magic range though tends to feel like it either needed to be edited down more or expanded upon to breathe more.

So yeah, I might actually like In Training's hypothetical 7 hour cut of Princess Kaguya better.

This tends to be the case. Studios are scared of anything over 3 hours and theaters want to pack as many screenings as possible. The average for the biggest blockbusters of the past decade is about 130 minutes then you sell that sweet directors cut on home video with 16 minutes of extra footage, or the extended cut with Will Ferrell vamping for an additional 30 minutes because his comedy films would be unwatchable without an actual editor.

Dunno what's so misleading about it, the game can play out like that if you want it too. Its easy for the combat too look amazing, it just quickly stops feeling satisfying because its so drat easy. The basic combat system is good but timed dodges, headshots, and element stuns make it really easy to trivialize everything and sap all the danger out of the game. Its still the Zelda game with the best combat by far, possibly excluding Skyward Sword with motion plus but most people hated that.

If hard mode had changed the combat mechanics it would of been great but all it did was inflate enemy HP. I'm upset that BotW was such an amazing game but the DLC was so mediocre.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


The new God of War looks pretty good, but it isn't being developed by Nintendo or a goony Japanese auteur with an rear end fetish so thats an automatic -10 games forum demerit.

It looks cool, but I find Kratos such an uninteresting punk I’m unlikely to get the game. I get enough similar combat vibes from Hellblade so I’m kinda satiated already in the slower deliberate over the shoulder melee action game front
