[reinking]

I am not sure about day one but I will definitely play it.

 

[ElFenomeno]

No way. It's garbage.
I'll keep replaying the OG trilogy and Ascension.

 

[DForce]

Not "hyped" but I'm buying Day One.

 

[SamFo]

I'm not particularly hyped - not so much the characters and setting. More that, it'll be a 3rd person action game with upgrade trees, some doors to open, and maybe some big rocks to move around. Feel like I've had my fill of that.

[Monkfish877]

Boycotting this trash, makes me so mad. Enjoy cratering the sales for one of your biggest franchises Sony, you deserve it

 

[fran.fernandez]

Day one !

 

[Gambit2483]

Why do I keep hearing it pronounced as La' Fey-Fey? Title is throwing me off

 

[Twinblade]

Im buying it. Looks great.

 

[Pantz]

I'm not the target audience. Will at least give it a try eventually when they add it to PS+.

 

[Odinnii]

Hag of war with quirky characters and extra millennial writing.

Disgusting.

 

[Banjo64]

not hyperbole; if you buy this game you are harming the industry.

 

[//DEVIL//]

They can shove it.

[Tiamat2san]

Not day one.
Ragnarok bored me.
I don't mind the change of character, she can be badass but everything is over designed (too much details on characters just to show they can)
The talking cube…WTF!?
Down the line, why not but at maximum 40€.

 

[phant0m]

We'll see. I loved GoW 2018 but bounced really hard off Ragnarok

 

[yogaflame]

Gow is Kratos. They should have made her just another playable character in gow sequel, not the main protagonist.

20k cucks.

 

[xenosys]

The most Sony thing ever.

"Here's 20 minutes of gameplay to end the show" featuring 4 minutes of actual gameplay.

 

[Represent.]

Day 1 for me. I think Kratos will play a larger role in it than we think.

 

[nick776]

As long as the story ties in to the other two and Kratos in a good way, I'm all in. My heart skipped a beat when the trailer started and I heard Kratos's voice. If there is a big interplay of Kratos this will be great SO LONG AS they really tie in the story. I take it most people are hating on this because of the female lead character?

Take out the qte and we have 2 minutes.

 

[TheKratos]

Gameplay kinda mix of GOW and Stellar Blade lol. Meh, will maybe get on discount. Not a fan of playing as Freya

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I'll be there day one but i expected something else.

 

[jshackles]

20k likes, 8.7k dislikes so far.

That still means about 1/3rd of the audience so far wasn't vibing with this game. Not a great sign.

 

[Pejo]

I still haven't even bought Ragnarok, this looks even worse than that game.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

This actually looked more interesting to me than ragnarok, it looked like a proper action game and the setting that mixes all different pantheons is even more interesting.
Not that any of it matters since it's not coming to pc so I'll never play it

Well yeah, because they are primarily culture warriors masquerading as gamers.

24k to 11K now, almost 1/2.

 

[IDKFA]

Less of a problem with female protagonist like some people...and more of a problem with Sony's schtick. Their samey design for all these games they make lately, and I'm fucking tired of it. I've been tired of it.

That's where I'm at.

Same old cinematic third person action game.

 

[Skifi28]

I'm not convinced on the main weapon and the fucking jelly thing. Exploring different mythologies will probably be the most interesting part. I don't really mind it as a spin-off, but I'd like the trilogy to end with Kratos and not like this.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

This is the God of War I love

 

[RCU005]

Soon as I saw it's just another actor's face slapped on a 3D model again.. lost hype. Now Kratos' wife is just "that chick from Daredevil". What happened to actual character design? All these Triple A games trying to look like movies with actual people's faces is a trend I deeply despise.

The game itself looks.. like God of War with a girl. Which is fine, I guess. But not for me.

While I love Deborah Ann Woll, I agree. I hate seeing faces of real actors in games. It takes you out of the experience.

Just imagine if Drake was some Hollywood actor? It would never had worked.

That trend needs to stop.

Also, then they wonder why the games cost much to make, since they have to pay millions for an actor.

 

[kindaGoth]

I was quite enamored with GoW 2018.

I realized 3/4 into Ragnarok that I was totally checked out, burned out, and annoyed at the game. This looks like more of the same. No thank you.

 

[PontificationEngine]

I'm enjoying Ragnarok right now but really don't have much excitement for what this is. The best parts of God of War Ragnarok have Kratos.

 

[Topher]

Day one with asterisk, right?

 

[Lokaum D+]

Purple woke garbage trash

 

[DeVeAn]

I'm sure it will be good but WHY not just create a new IP? Now they are stuck with a butterface and riding coattails of Kratos. I don't know man. See how it goes.

 

[midnightAI]

Nop.

Series is called God of War for a reason.

Spin off is called Laufey for a reason

 

[Danteyke223]

Buying it just cause of the main lead. .... she's hot lol

 

[EN250]

Easiest NOP of the generation and we have Marathon

Hey, Failgames didn't launch yet, there's always something worse...

I bet reviewers gonna fucking love it and give all the 10/10 saying this game is so much better than the previous GOW for reasons that have nothing to do with pushing a female lead in a previously male lead franchise... The fatigue is real

 

[Knucklepux]

What in the Disney/Marvel was that stupid fucking cube

 

[Boss Man]

I can't believe they even used transvestite purple and blue

 

[kpopSuperstar]

 

[Strategize]

They haven't missed yet.

Plus, I can pretty much guarantee the game will have a "Blades" moment like 2018 where Kratos shows up sometime in the 3rd act.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Guardians of the War

 

[MMaRsu]

Spin off is called Laufey for a reason

Its not a spinoff tho

 

[midnightAI]

Its not a spinoff tho

Ok, it's called God of War: Laufey for a reason then

(I don't care either way, I just presumed spin off, guess I was wrong)

Edit: and come to think of it, Kratos fought is way out of hell and she is kinda fighting her way out of heaven (or purgatory at least) pretty sure that's no accident

 

[Holammer]

I thought it was an AI generated shitpost when I saw this on Twitter. They give her a literal companion cube?

 

[Xellos]

"She must fight through the "Everywhen", the transcendent afterlife realm of the gods"

Wonder if Zeus or Ares will show up.
