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.
 
I still have to watch the trailer but from the glimpes i saw, it looks like more modern god of war with a more agile protagonist, i'm ok if the game is good and not too short.
 
The writing sounds like Dragon Age: Veilguard or Mass Effect: Andromeda. I absolutely hated the companions in Andromeda. That's what listening to this 20~ minute trailer felt like. PTSD.
 
I'm 100% in. Game of the show for me. Considering what they showed was basically the intro to the game, it was pretty epic. Hopefully both this and Intergalactic are 2027 games.
 
Looked amazing, but not worth buying a PS5 so its gonna be a game that ill get to down the line.
I didnt get to Ragnarok until it came to PC.

But I was really enjoying that and if one of my neighbors or friends gets the game ill steal borrow their PS5 for a weekend and try get through it ASAP.
 
I thought I wouldn't like this, but I actually did. I was expecting it to be ultra woke but it seems pretty mild.

I need to see more before I go day one, but I'm definitely gonna play this.
 
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.
 
I'd try it out on sale.
The combat looks ok, but between the shitty writing and hints that it's another game using the Druckmann formula I'm not very interested.

If we are talking sword action games I'm way more interested in stuff like Onimusha, Phantom Blade Zero and Tides of Anihilation
 
GOW fatigue.

Make something else please.
This is my feeling. The game itself is whatever. It's a small slice of the overall game so who knows. I just want Santa Monica to make something besides GoW.

I bought both of the previous games and never finished either of them. So naturally I'll get this on sale.

I'll watch the game on YouTube down the road. Probably just a summary though. In case it has shit that might be important for the next real God of War game.
