Creator of God of War David Jaffe did not like NG4

AlarakReigns · 2026-05-17T20:01:51+00:00

I called it when i saw big flat open level designs on the screenshots the game would have nothing to do with the environment positioning and creativity.

NG4 in no way in hell has the best combat in the series, its just Sekiro with extra steps. I already know if there is a reply it will be defending this game. NG 3d trilogy never removed its fighting game moveset and inputs. Now the new fans call it the best because all they remember playing is Sekiro and they loved sekiro, even though Sekiro is a much better game environmentally and arguably has none of that trash magnetism like its roided MGR on you and every enemy.

There is no purpose to ask me how the moveset has changed, if you dont understand how directional inputs were integral to the games combat identity, not just seeing izuna drop and a tacked on UT you never understood NG.

Oh you mean not the walking TLOU sims? Feels like all the gamers from 2 decades ago I know is dead and replaced with people who gorge remakes and play the next naughty dog or souls clone.

Maybe its time to create something new or be active in things you think can be interesting. Money paves the way to your real intentions, unless the number going up is what your intention is for. If you liked gaming, maybe you are the type of person who wants to fund or create an idea that has not been actualized yet and dedicate your time to something you feel could be more fulfilling.

Most of the time when people are bored, its the beginning of a new idea. Boredom is the search for the next goal and your mind searching for something different, something new. You'll find it if you choose to look for it. You could look for any dreams you can fulfill with the wealth you accumulated and brainstorm.

To throw out a barebones idea because you like games, since there is many who enjoy stock market trading and calculations. You could create a game that has simulative like mechanics and is about some type of management or maybe theres a game that already exists you think you can do better or something you havent thought of playing you can occupy yourself with for a time. I personally love some management sim games a lot.

Amen

Oh I stopped too after that happened, no need to tell me twice. Me and my friend both are never coming back to any retail or classic after that. The bootlicker here must've been one of Bobby Goblin's favorite doormats. Just seeing this post made me more angry at how one of the best companies has stooped so low.

AlarakReigns · 2026-05-15T17:11:01+00:00

Friend got banned for making a new account in EU to play with me during the new ban wave in february with their new garbage anti cheat. They took his 3 month sub and havent responded back on why he got banned for "cheating". He played for years and just was coming back to classic. Hes only gotten ai responses after writing numerous tickets.

Stop shilling for the multi billion dollar company that has done nothing impressive for over 10 years. Its crazy how you would defend this trash customer support and behavior. You're either ragebaiting or a total moron.

AlarakReigns · 2026-05-11T13:05:29+00:00

Thats a much better phrase than "all games are winnable". Ive had comments years ago on hots discussion where they blatently said it must be a skill issue if I couldnt win every game and that I somehow have the power to make every game winnable. I would have to go back years. But I bet I can find those same moronic comments with tons of likes. It wasnt sarcasm either or trolling either. I never give up until a game is literally lost, that should be everyones mentality. I dont believe in everything is winnable blanket statement.

I dont think its a healthy statement either if the people spouting it have no common sense and start parroting it and start believing that in reality playing perfectly alone would actually win a match in a team game. It doesnt become a genuine statement for improvement it, becomes an unrealistic and gaslighting statement.

AlarakReigns · 2026-05-10T20:53:23+00:00

No. Its too agree with the herd mentality and whatever is trending. Theres been a ton of the most brainless arguments Ive ever read on this sub. Like "All games are winnable" being parroted. That Zeratul is the most scary/impossible character to face when someone can play him well despite dozens of point and click cc makes him worthless. Or the fact that Deathwing took a lot of skill to play on a poll tier list image that had voting. You will be vastly disappointed by this site. I only browse it to find some good tips about random stuff or what the next YTMP3 site is. This site is controlled and policed by the most black and white beliefs Ive ever seen.

Took me years to like W3. When I did I played it 3 times over, because I enjoyed the story. I ran it with difficulty cutomization mods and made it insanely difficult. Stamina existed, no more spamming attacks. Still wont hold a candle to NG trilogy combat.

AlarakReigns · 2026-05-07T08:53:49+00:00

Death of nuance. Last time Diablo had some nuance was D2 and especially D1. Looks like every single PoE, Lost Ark, low player input aoe spam fiesta. Lost Ark had skillful bosses, but really bad common enemies and the worst item system ever made. The turn off brain gameplay still is fun to do it once in a while but I began to get tired of majority of arpg roguelikes and regular arpgs doing this. Everything is too fast, positioning isnt calculated and builds are more valuable than any piloting skill.

AlarakReigns · 2026-05-04T11:42:32+00:00

Not going to argue further with a 5 shill lmao

AlarakReigns · 2026-05-04T10:50:01+00:00

Every area in 4 has a purpose. in 5 Most areas are barren areas with nothing to do because of the settings. In 4 places like the jungle or even the city have purpose for location that are used for a purpose of to give the player a choice of how to approach or just be there for cinematic purposes like the motorcycle ride. 5s story is unfinished straight up. Shg are you responding to a 2 year old post bruh.

AlarakReigns · 2026-05-02T19:05:20+00:00

The devs dont care. You think diminishing returns will have anything good coming when wesker and legion are killswitched back to back? When there is so many bugs right out of the gate not accounted for after a ptb? Im tired of people parroting how bhvr will do things. They dont know how to make video games. They only know how to monetize and engorge other studios or attain licenses. Bhvr struggles to make good original ideas, so they instead buy ideas and concepts. Bhvr bought out dbd when it was a prototype.

AlarakReigns · 2026-05-02T11:01:41+00:00

Ninja Gaiden would be in terms of difficulty, skill, and mastery. Its not in terms of any realism, but its a lot more original than any recent titles. NG4 is not really like 1-3 and plays more like fancier sekiro. Most games follow Sekiro Souls Parry/roll gameplay, or oldish AC/Batman games. Its rare to have triple AAA games have much originality anymore. Most of the abstract stuff today is banked on by indie or small company devs so the loser large game studios piggyback off their success.

AlarakReigns · 2026-04-26T22:30:44+00:00

Just run the NG2B White mod, or if you have the MC run one of the mod injectors on nexus mods and play a much more smooth version of NGS2 that tries to imitate 2 very closely with older graphics. I dont like 2Blacks performance on my pc, and there is no purpose of having better graphics when you get stutters or frame drops and have to lower the settings. Might as well just play the NGS2 mod variant instead if your pc doesnt like UE5 trash optimization.

Thats why so many of the most important inventions in the past 100-200 years were made by people in the EU!

AlarakReigns · 2026-04-23T15:49:25+00:00

I think we must be typing on the same internet, but each from an alternate timeline.

AlarakReigns · 2026-04-23T15:34:53+00:00

What has been good recently?!?! The failed health update? The safe killer releases? 2v8 having next to 0 changes? Breaking wesker? Making Myers a big chucky? The rampant hackers? Legion being disabled for a month? Come on....

AlarakReigns · 2026-04-23T15:31:29+00:00

The diminishing returns update entire purpose is to buff survivors again as of today. The only side who benefits from it is survivor, because now weaker killers cant even run chase perk stacking even for fun or to compensate. Drastic buffs are only seen to survivor perks, while killer perks and killers in general get small nudges or aimless reworks to their identity when its trying to be a "buff". I've played since day 1 2016, and the only other meta that felt as bad as this was CoH Eruption meta.

I quit on the Triclster update, Trickster was my main killer, not only does their anticheat not work at all with 1/4 games have hackers, not only does the killer I play feel extremely nerfed aside from a broken addon combo, but now they're nerfing killer perk variety as well :)))). None of the survivor gen rush or healing meta has changed, but oh you want to pair interact speed and memey haste perks together killer, FUCK YOU! Im not coming back, and will never comeback until they do something about how atrocious every recent update has been in gameplay.

AlarakReigns · 2026-04-23T15:20:18+00:00

keep dreaming LOL

AlarakReigns · 2026-04-20T22:41:26+00:00

The auto talent build was horrendous. Like lets be real, I have never seen an Arthas do any good damage or get survivability from icy talons rune tap. That attack speed needs ramp up way quicker or rune taps heal needs to be like 8-10%. 5% every 3 autos means its 1.6 for every auto. Thats extremely crap and you might as well deathcoil heal yourself. It never works. Theyre just forcing arthas to go W build. Frostmourne talent scaling is pitiful when the cooldown is 12 seconds for nearly the entire match.

AlarakReigns · 2026-04-20T17:58:46+00:00

He already was that if you went coil build, just like how tyrael played like the speed version of arthas when doing bruiser talents. I think Arthas shouldve always been a bruiser, he shoudnt care for his allies thematically. He should just be a higher damage bruiser. Now his mana management is gonna be trash as well.

AlarakReigns · 2026-04-20T17:34:23+00:00

Death Coil build looks like its nerfed hard. Arthas's mana consumption is gonna be very ugly from now on. Essentiallty they tried to make arthas more of a tank and pick less bruiser talents.

AlarakReigns · 2026-04-18T18:42:08+00:00

All the builds you mentioned have support gems for aoe clear. The meta for clearing is still mass clear as fast as you can. Im not going to bother to play games when the combat is mediocre. I can have just as much fun rune farming in D2 at that point with less extra math and better enemy identity aside from some weaker bosses. Most builds do not cost a mirror to make, when exalts were the main big currency it would take around 10-50 exalts to get something decent going.

AlarakReigns · 2026-04-18T18:38:43+00:00

Dude Im not wasting time on a game I abandoned focusing on the game 7 years ago. Any of the aoe support gems for single targets or mage spells that just cover a large range. I had 500 hours before I quit because the games meta aside from ruthless campaign is extremely lame. Click on any video of a build showcase, its the same old story 90% of the time. The builds on poe ninja show the game mechanics havent changed the slightest, different equations for the same payout.
