Just don't play it lol.

God of war was never good, going a different direction with the gameplay is fine.
I enjoy interactive movies and I enjoy gameplay focused games.

If you think we're lacking on the second style you haven't been paying attention to the indie scene.

because the indie scene is almost as bad in different ways.

video games just suck right now. they have for awhile.
What games have you been enjoying lately? That are more recent games.

i dont really play games anymore (because of this sort of thing). if i do its guilty pleasure stuff. the last good game i played was BOTW
Seems a bit picky to me. But hey, do you. Have you heard of Divinity Original Sin? The sequel came out recently. It's great. If you're into stuff like Baldur's Gate.

im not that picky. video games are not cheap and 9/10 of my last purchases were just not worth the investment.

Steam sales my dude. If you buy a game for $2 and it sucks it's not a terrible investment. PS4 has been pretty good to me with their sales.

nothing from the last 5 years is ever 2 dollars.

it's the best one for casual fun play (other than 64), but i wouldn't bother getting competitive with it

it was okay for that until bayonetta came along
Who cares about competitive LMAO

I just want to hit people into next year with King Dedede

this seems like a grossly disproportionate response

...why would i be salty when i won the argument?

tbh your reasoning is just asinine and its annoyed me for a long time. i dont really enjoy the way you go about expressing your ideas either. youre longwinded and often times miss the point of the discussion. and at least with verbatim and anime theres a sense of circus showmanship under the veil of intelligent criticism to his opinions. not really the case with you.
But I only stopped responding because you didn't convince me that a year long hiatus couldn't be avoided provided enormous resources were pumped into the show and because you seemed pretty obtuse about misinterpreting what I said.

"enormous resources"

i wasn't misinterpretting anything, you just don't know anything about the animation industry or how it works. i do, so it's annoying to have to listen to people say stupid things like "if ONLY toei would spend MORE money, they could continue DBS".

Quote
Although, the fact that you now admit you've been annoyed with me for a long time kind of explains why you'd react that way and why you wanted to drag that out into something it wasn't intended to be. Knowing that, it seems like I made the right call not to continue that discussion.

i didn't drag it into anything it wasn't already  -- that's just your ignorance speaking.

Quote
I'm not sure I've ever been longwinded when it comes to anime.

You haven't, but you are in general.

Quote
Thinking that's "asinine" is about as silly as chastizing someone for not liking death metal because people screaming and howling unintelligibly just doesn't do it for them musically.

It's like I said earlier, you dislike anime but then enjoy Dragon Ball, when DB commits all those same sins save maybe artstyle. Admitting that "Dragon Ball sucks" doesn't do anything for me, because you still like it.

Quote
I don't think I've ever been unfair or actually went after anyone, but it was never my intention to get you or anyone else upset.

I'm not really upset, I'm just annoyed. Admittedly, it's not really a you problem. I don't like these pseudo-enlightened anime fans that won't admit they like anime, and I don't like ignorant DB fans (most of them), and you happen to be both.

i mean, he is

liking anime is an illness

yeah but his reasoning is retarded. he dislikes all anime except dragon ball

"haha anime sucks guys except the worst one that ones good"
But Dragonball does suck. There's the occasional good scene but that's about it. Most of it is pretty boring and the anime tropes often make it hard to sit through. Up until the tournament, Super was just as uninteresting and I only watched it when I was stuck with jetlag in a hotel room at conferences. I only care now because it's nostalgic fun. Back in the day when I was a little kid, I watched it all the time with a friend (neither of us saw GT) so 15 years later we've gone back to discussing it for shits and giggles since it picked up where the old series left it at.

Anime sucks and so does Dragonball, but talking about it with my friend from back then makes it all the more fun. You seem kind of salty towards me since I said the show doesn't necessarily need a long hiatus provided people throw enough resources at it, but I'm not sure what you thought you were getting at here. Dragonball sucks, but the guilty pleasure of memeing about it with my bro and Banjo makes me watch it. That, and Goku vs Jiren p1 probably was the best thing anime has ever done.

The problem with this God of War game is that it seems incredibly played-out and unoriginal. That's why no one cares about it. Action games with a close camera don't make sense. The slow combat with an emphasis on showy non-interactive kill sequences looks dull an uninspired, as though it's saying "hey look how many blood particles we can generate in real time!". It just looks boring.

So a serious and dark story in film and games is bad? Can't say I agree. I think it should be a fun game. But I realize not everyone likes games like these. God of War has always had amazing graphics. Even back on the PS2. I promise you, people played it because they liked it, not because it was edgy or had lots of polygons. It's just an action game. You could say it's similar to Devil May Cry right?

you arent very bright are you
Uh, I just disagree. It's not walking down corridors, there's big open areas.

Has nothing to do with anything.

Quote
You literally said it's just a bunch of polygons with a gritty tone for "retards" to enjoy.

The fact that THAT is your takeaway from my post is why I say you're not bright.

No, thinking that "realistic graphics" and a dark/gritty story makes a game better or more appealing is what retards care about. That's why you like Uncharted, despite it being a 3D, story-driven version of Asteroids.

This idea that having a more "mature" storyline legitimises games as an artform without actually doing anything unique with the medium is disgusting. I'm telling you right now, Sony's contemporary first party developer studios will NEVER make a game as legitimately artistic as Majora's Mask or Metal Gear Solid 3 by trying to FORCE people to take them seriously. I'm all for edgy and gritty stories but these games all feel extremely forced in that respect. It's like everyone wants to be Naughty Dog. And Naughty Dog is everything wrong with the industry to begin with!

Quote
I enjoy all types of games.

I couldn't care less what you enjoy. You have bad taste and it's irrelevant to the conversation.

Quote
The game is far bigger than any of the past ones and the combat is more than button mashing hack n slash now. They've even added RPG elements. So I was just trying to understand after all that, how the game is a movie. If you don't like it that's fine. You didn't even like the old ones, whatever. But how's it a movie? Is Gears of War a movie? And Halo? Pretty much any linear game?

The game is trying to be taken seriously like a movie by telling a mature storyline. Just like Uncharted. Just like The Order 1866. Games can have an emphasis on story, but they are still games and they need to have gameplay as their priority to be worthwhile. Otherwise I could just go watch any number of shitty Nolan Hollywood flicks these games try to emulate.

I watched the GamingBrit one. I can see his points. I also see on the side another video of him praising RE6. His credibility just went down with that. He also praises Metal Gear. What series has more cutscenes than MGS?

It's not about cutscenes though. It's about how gamey a game is. Metal Gear is exceptionally gamey.

Wait are people complaing about this being a “movie” game? If anything the past games were like that. They were only 8-10 hours VERY linear and with a fixed camera angle. This game isn’t open world but it’s much more open. Has side quests, crafting, abilities to upgrade, and it’s dang near 40 hours. They say around 35. But some beat it in a good bit less rushing. So I don’t understand these complaints.

because it is a movie game. its attempting to be gritty and edgy with 30fps and motion blur, a close over the shoulder perspective that emphasises """immersion""" rather than fascilitating gameplay (which is what the fixed camera angle did before). the game isnt tryting to be a game anymore.

god of war was never good but jesus its sad to see yet another game from sony that can be written off as "sad and in the forest". its like the industry has just forgotten what made games good and has just injected the same heartless nonsense thats flooding hollywood in an attempt to make as much money as possible off of retarded dickwads who care more about the polygons and lighting effects rather than how good a game plays.

Man, I'm putting my money that they either have a movie planned for that final fight or they already have a movie coming out for said final fight

it wont feature any of the main cast and is set in the past. most likely its about yamoshi.
That makes too much sense
Spoiler
Its gonna be another Bardock movie

honestly i would not mind considering bardock is alpha as fuck
I'm saying that because
Spoiler
They talked about a legendary sayian who turned super sayian in the past and that was basically Bardock, so I wouldn't be suprised at all if they pull this same scenario again

that wasnt canon and neither is the bardock special unfortunately. this movie is supposed to directly speak on the original super saiyan god, who also happened to be the first super saiyan.
Oh, well shit, nevermind.
Spoiler
At least we get a new character now

hopefully hes no some basic yamamuro generic design like in BoG and actually looks like ancestral saiyan would

i dont want a vegeta hairstyle give me wild gohan shit
