Weren't people praising the change in the combat because the other God of War games had lackluster and dull combat? This combat looks terrible. Especially if this game is supposed to be over 25 hours.

Might need to stop sniffing glue
Use your guitar (axe) as a weapon, teach your son/daughter to fight like a god, have your sig. other help you with stuff, and .. as much as I love MLB, I can’t find a tie in.

That reviewer said he beat it in 15 hours, if he's being honest.
As someone that's heavily into action games the new one has left me unimpressed. Solid animation work though.

Thats how it was with pervious GOW games. Sure the actual combat was never deep or as complex as DMC or NG but if you play GOW in hardest difficulty you will see how clever those enemy replacements are. It truly becomes like puzzles of which enemy you go after first or keep right enemy alive to use its abilities against others. I'm still skeptical about this GOW but if they give me that and crazy puzzles like Pandora shrine like in first game I will be happy.

LOL, the guy hates Dark Souls and the review is very inaccurate in many places. He is also playing on the easiest difficulty if that is him in footage.Although many say it's all 4chan leaked footage with his logo pasted over it.
I've seen the trophy list, first fight and a few other bits and pieces... hype is justified imo.

Got this for 50 on a preorder, hope it's worth it. Might cruise through it and then trade it in to minimize any risk...
I hate my own post lol. Wtf... Just enjoy the damn game!

That's one thing that worries me with watching any footage or viewing Kotaku. Is that the main images they show are typically spoil heavy images. I've seen Kotaku outright spoil things in their article title.
That video makes it sound like there's a lot of information we don't know yet. I get the gist of this game, but knowing how I played through the original series without something being spoiled was worth the experience.
I'll probably head to GameStop on my lunch break and pick it up on the 20th.

I have this tiny hope that all of the footage that we've seen in this game up to now was just for the tutorial/opening stage. Then at the end of the first level, the son dies and Kratos' axe breaks. Then the camera cuts back and he pulls out the Blades of Chaos/Athena and it's classic GoW. Then the rest of the game would be a revenge story.
Anyways, I'll probably pick this up, but I would be lying if I said I liked the look of the new combat. Still, as long as the spectacle is still there, it's probably at least worth a playthrough.

Ok, maybe in this context it means nothing, but it's still a fairly accurate criticism in general that many published reviewers seem to inflate their scores or drop them based on a personal non-issue (Like polygon, gamespot and IGN) which i expect to see with GoW

In the current socio-political climate, nothing would suprise me.
The Axe can't be everything. Every God of War Had at least some Diversity through different weapons. I kind of hope and bet that at least you'll get the Blades of Chaos Back at the end of the Game and can use them for the second playthrough. 50 hours (or 100 with 2 playthroughs) Just Axe would be a huge bummer.

As long as we can freely use other weapons/weapon types/dmg type, unlike what Ascension did. I really hated how I was forced to change to another weapon with another element to kill one enemy then switch again for another, or I would have to be there bashing the guy for hours because it wasn't the dmg type he was weak to.
I can sort of accept something like that for some boss fights, but not groups of general enemies.

Early reviews have stated-
There are other weapons
Reviews are releasing now, IGN gave it a 10/10. Anyone making the thread?
