Most people who are creative dont like making the same thing over and over. Pretty much insanity by definition. How many bands make the same album over and over again? Things evolve with time.
You’re entitled to your opinion, but you are also responsible to know and admit when you are wrong lol.
First 20 mins was walking and talking. The combat system is one of the worst I have ever played in a game. It doesnt remotely feel, look, or play like a God of War game.
Less mindless button mashing and more actual thought to it.
Rapidly switching between the axe and blades and pulling off nasty ass dual combos>>>>>>>>>>
When was the last time you played a classic God of War game? Or a similar action game like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta?
The old God of War games had much deeper combat, and werent just "mindless button mashers". Thats a false narrative pushed to make the new game seem better and deeper. Same with "this story is actually deep, and Kratos isnt just angry anymore". The story has ALWAYS been deep. Kratos has ALWAYS been more than just angry. And he's ALWAYS been a loving and caring father, we see that through the entire series. I hate that this game as ruined people's opinions of the old games.
In God of War 3 for example, you have basic light and heavy attack combos, light and heavy special attacks, 4 different grapple attacks, jumping, aeral combos, aeral special moves, areal grapples, a roll, a counter/block, 4 different items to use in combat, 10 different monster summons, and 4 different weapons each with their own combos and special moves, different magic attacks for each weapon, and all 4 could be switched on the fly, with finisher move minigames which granted health or magic so they had to be strategically planned for in battle to maximize efficiency.
There was so much depth to the combat. So many different options given the player. And if you just "mashed attack" on harder difficulties, you wouldnt get very far. And mastering these systems allowed you to pull off 1000 hit combos, and awarded you with extra experience for pulling it off.
This game is more button mash-y. With no real combo systems, grapples, special move systems, or items, you literally do just spam light and heavy attacks, with blocking and dodging so you dont die.
Never addressed this btw
2018 has objectively weaker combat when compared to GoW3
Artists can make crappy things. Just because I like Metallica doesnt mean I have to like Load, Reload, or St. Anger. Those feel like mistep albums, and theyre no longer the same band.
Same thing here. Its God of War in name only. It doesnt look, sound, feel, or play like what a God of War game was. Its become something else entirely.
If you like it cool, Im happy for you. But of a fan of Thing A, Im sad they will no longer be making it
For the record, there are "new" "changed" things that I like too.
I like the new Fallout games. But I understand and recognize that they're not really Fallout games. And understand why a fan of the originals might not also like the new ones, or would prefer Wasteland more. And Id love if they released a Fallout like the originals again to appease those fans as well.

They could have made this game under another name. They didnt. They changed something that used to be great, and made it garbage.
Again, get your own thing.

Plenty of fans of the old games enjoyed it. I played GOW3 before it and still enjoy both. You don't own shit
Congratulations, you like both though.
It’s like when an artist/band changes their sound and experiments and a fan says “THIS AIN’T REAL _____ MUSIC.”
Well the real ______ themselves made it, sooo.
