With 7 year dev cycles most of these games were funded and developed before the consumers' massive and almost unified backlash against this kind of shit. Don't expect it to stop until 2028 at the earliest.

literally, LITERALLY all you need to fucking do for a new god of war:
pick a random folklore pantheon
make a random muscular angry dude
have the muscular angry dude fuck shit up
thats it. he can be sad after he does it, he can have nuance, he can be gay, it could even be a woman for all I fucking care. but GoW is a series about an angry as fuck behemoth absolutely wrecking shit. nobody wants to play as whiny brats or meek as fuck women with gay as bows. give me a fucking african mythology game and give me a giga nigga with two of those wacky african swords with like 6 prongs and my ass is seated.

Gameplay wise it's better but has aggravating parts where you play as Atreus spliced in throughout the game. It has millenial writing and the writing and story in general is bad. If you liked the exploration and setpieces in GoW 2018 this is the game's strongest suit, it's pretty good when it let's you play as Kratos and characters aren't constantly quipping

Its not just reboots but any new IP too. Snoy console is now PussyStation. I dont mind female MCs but Sony currently is in process of replacing ALL of their legacy male MCs with women on top of new IPs having fem mc too. Wolverine according to leaks will already share a lot of playtime with Jean Grey in "his" game and wont get a sequel but they go to X Men game instantly too. Shits hilarious.
>>
>>734099687
Just go with the original plan that was hinted at in GoW2: no more Kratos after 3. Have a trilogy set where a different hero, wronged by the gods as well, genocides them all set in the Norse mythology, and then another trilogy set in the Egyptian mythology. Then all 3 protagonists meet up and go to kick Jesus's ass for the ultimate edgelord ending.

When I played the new GOW games, whenever the game told storiies about Kratos wife I always had a feeling that they wanted her to be a Vergil/Zero-like character. For example, she made Thor drunk and fought him to a draw. She fought Kratos and didn't lose badly. She fought giants, etc. Clearly, she was written as a powerful character, almost the same level as Kratos. Now that they're making a new game with her, all of that makes sense. But they missed the point that they should have shown her feats during the game with CG or something. Maybe people wouldn't be so skeptical about her now.

She doesnt need to earn shit, she will just get one of the manlets to simp for her and get it that way. The only thing she will have to do is get the components which will add a few hours of padding to the game.

You guys ITT are severely underestimating playstation fanboys. Remember when Ragnarok came out and everyone here was losing their minds about limp dick Odin and fatty Thor and black Angrboda and how the game was going to flop because of the woke? It still sold 11m in 3 months.

Same with Ghost of Yotei. It already sold 3.3 million as of November 2nd and it's probably over 4 million at this point, all within 6 months.

No this has been going on for far longer than that. I feel like it’s a psychological thing. I don’t know how to explain it so bear with me, but it’s like in the mind of a woman the scream is a weapon. It’s like how the human mind is wired to associate certain sounds in a certain way. Like when we hear a baby cry it sets off a sort of alert. But in the case of the woman’s scream it’s something that you see as a sign of danger and go to deal with it. But the female mind has twisted that into not seeing it as an alarm but an actual weapon and thus portray it as physically harming people. I remember seeing all those vids of the fucking SJWs just screaming randomly as if it was going to do something.

This is extremely disappointing. I distinctively remember Cory Barlog saying during interviews in the lead up to 2018 that he wanted to work on a brand new IP next, something actually his since his career was entirely making gmaes in other people's franchises. I guess it didn't work out but unlike Asmussen he didn't say "fuck this shit I'm out" after it was cancelled and just settled for making more GOWslop.
If it's good I'll play it, but it'll never be as good as something actually new.

A DMC-style game in a brand new universe with zero ties to norse God of War would have been even more different. It being a part of that universe and revisiting those characters gives me negative hype.

She's a jotunn but Mimir explains that jotnar are not really defined by their size, they basically "come in all sizes". The ones as big as a mountain are jotnar, the ones as small as humans are still jotnar. "Giant" is an inappropriate appellation only given because of the gigantic ones.

There were several other jotnar who were not notably large. And there were several who were large. They are just a wide ranging species.
Exactly like in God of War.
You are the one who read a watered-down version of norse mythology, probably one that called them "frost giants" and contrasted them with "fire giants" even though the jotnar of Jotunnheimr and Muspelheimr are just different tribes of the same species.

Even women can use shorter bows, they'll just never be able to output as much power as a man. Still perfectly viable to hunt using them and gods being able to use anything they want because they're gods isn't new considering there's a guy chucking thunder.
Worst part is that it's always forgotten that Hercules' main weapon was a bow instead of the club that gets mentioned once at his first trial. After he killed Hydra he just used the poisoned arrows to instantly kill anything inhuman that bothered him.

GoW as a series has a severe case of constant stagnation. Yes, this includes the original games: GoW 1, 2 and 3 play, feel and look the same (barring 3's slightly better graphics), with no distinct characteristics of their own. They could just be stapled together for a very long, continuous experience and you would barely be able to tell
And then Ragnarok has the same issue again where it just looks and plays exactly like 2016

That's just AAA games.
Indie and AA games generally have way faster dev cycles than that (emphasis on the word "generally", because I know that someone is going to point to a handful of examples of indie and AA games with long dev times and try to make it seem like that minority is the norm for those types of games, when it very clearly isn't).

There's this song from the 70's called "I Am Woman" that starts with the line "I am woman, hear me roar".
https://youtu.be/ZrVLL7soS1U
It's been referenced in pop culture a good amount of times since its release, the one example I can recall off the top of my head is the 2006 children's movie Air Buddies.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEUJgZOsDes&t=3098s
There are other examples to be found on the interwebs. If anything started the trend of women screaming being seen as empowering, I'd guess it's this.

NTA but I think women have an instinctual trigger to just start screaming when in danger to call a man over to deal with the issue. When you look at it from this lens then narcissistic man-hating women wanting to re-imagine banshee screeching into some kind of empowering weapon makes sense

Yeah, that's likely something physiological that was instilled into us via evolutionary biology. Grug hears Femgrug screaming and knows that his mate is in danger.

Women using bows were a popular theme since the ancient times due to the Amazons.
In more recent times I'd also ascribe this to d&d, where bows use dexterity (as a way to quantify a person's ability to aim well) as opposed to strength.

Should've just used this dude if they were going to make a prequel. I mean, he is a god of war.
Make him start pretty full of himself and learn humility in his travels, plus a couple cameos from the other Norse games characters.You could probably set the game in some insane Inca empire or something too.

Some injun stuff might actually be the best way to go; andean, mesoamerica, some amalgamation of the northern tribes' pantheons. If you can trust Sony not to shit on it with the dumbest shit imaginable I think it'd be very interesting.
>>

God of War is never going to be interesting again because killing brown/red/yellow/etc gods is not politically correct. At absolute best they'll humiliate more white pantheons and even that will be even more lame and gay than you thought previously possible.
>>
>>734119992
I'm unironically sick of European pantheons. I mean they're great but they often have tons of games about them.
>because killing brown/red/yellow/etc gods is not politically correct
People would be more pissed about butchering the characterization and image of the gods and stories. These people aren't competent, even if they had the full motivation to do the best they can and paint non-white mythology in the best light possible they're gonna make it worse.

If you found 1 mediocre is better to just cut your losses there.
In my pov, 1 was great. It had too many recycled bosses (trolls) but overall it was a good starting point.
Ragnarok improves variety a lot; the gamplay on the surface is also better, but the difficulty design makes it shitty. "Normal" is braindead easy, and hard (the level below max) it's a chore to play:
Classic super spongy enemies and you die in 3 hits. In my pov of an action game player, both ways to play are shit, and since the game it's very long it becomes really really tedious.
The story it's also shit, and one of the only good parts it's on the opening.
I didn't play the dlc released later.

So, has Playstation become the go-to console for californian leftist writing? The only thing fanboys have to look forward to are Strong womyn simulators.
I, for one, welcome the idea of keeping all that trash quarantined into one console.

Arrows also served as a metaphor for pestilence and disease, since it appeared people would be struck down at random with no way to respond, much like warriors being felled by mass arrow fire into formations.

What are they supposed to learn?
You’ve clearly never played beyond good and evil. Or tomb raider. Or mirrors edge. Or any game with a female protagonist.
It’s not them being woke. It’s them not wanting to use a stagnant character like kratos.

doesn't matter what they did with RC, it was a flop and the IP is put in a coma.
It's weird how Sony admitted that they lack iconic mascot characters and all they shit out is games with just people.
nobody is going to buy an Aloy plushie.
Astrobot is really they only thing they have as an IP marketable to children and now they are failing to sell themself as the edgy grown up games console.

wasn't it implied in GoW:Ragnarok that Faye fought Thor in the past and they left a similar frozen lightning in vanaheim?

Women are noisy and they can't do anything except screaming in an emergency\dangerous situation because they are weak and they need to attract the attention of a man to save and thake care of them. Like a toddler crying. Put a woman in the woods alone you will track her following the screams. Put a man in the woods you'll find him with the smoke from the fire he built.

Correct. They moved their HQ to California, and bet all in on cinematic movie-games, and the Californians look down on "games" as kids toys but see film as superior. You can tell right there that these people are 35-55 years old and grew up when movies were in their prime and have spent the last 15 years on twiter (and probably tumblr before that). These feminist academic theories have been criticizing fictional media since the 70s onwards, and now they're finally getting their dream to actually implement them. This is all an American phenomenona.
But these theories were literally made in the 70s to 90s... Queer theory dates from 1990. Intersectional Feminism is like 1995. Notice anything? They're all pre-internet! Their entire model of activism assumes that there is a totalitarian grip by movies-tv-film on mass culture, when today they're actually DYING mediums. And Movie-Games alongside them.
If you see Queer shit in games, thank these two fat old jewish bitches btw.

Hey, anons, why are you upset so much? Who are you trying to fool? You don't want to play as male protagonist. You completely ignore games with male protagonist. You are the one who wish to play as a woman. I've seen what you did in countless Next Fest threads. Every game you chose there had a woman protagonist. At first I was thought it's because every dev makes woman protagonist, but when I checked for myself, I found a lot of games with male protagonist. So stop pretending you are so upset in which state game industry is. It's you who make this industry look exactly like this with female face. Because if you want so much games with a male protagonist, you would pay more attention to games with male protagonist, which you don't. So stop pretending.

I dunno which dnd you're referring to but back in 3.5 composite bows have str ratings when made and have penalty if you don't have the right str level and bonus damage if you increase the strength requirement and meet it. So you in theory can make some dyel do archery but someone with both str and dex would outclass them.

You'd have to fire all these retards and move your development studios to China or something. It's the exact same idiots even if 10s of thousands just got laid off in the last few years. These are all twitter addicted Nu-Males and women, where feminism is taken as a Holy Gospel, and disagreements are signs of moral impurity.

As much as people try to pretend TGA are rigged, they included 'problematic' games like Black Myth, Stellar Blade or Hogwarts and none of the ultra gay games have won anything of worth.

microjeets are controlling the largest percentage of AAA gaming dev companies in USA and EA was sold to saudis. your only chance at geoff's goty awards would be some indie game, snoy 1st party gay studio like naughty dog or rockstar which makes 1 game per decade (rockstar north and R san diego made their best games, rdr2 was joint effort, as is gta6 so it won't be solely an american victory if it wins goty).

Doesn't Sony already have a big franchise with a third person view with a woman with a bow fighting monsters? That's like trying to compete against yourself.
Do they want another Ratchet/Jak situation but less cool because they are both games with a very realistic style or what
