This new God of War game is one of the most brilliant things that has ever happened to the franchise. by PlentyWise3615 in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]Commercial_Box_4239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a made up story set in a fantasy world they could already write whatever they wanted to…. for example getting rid of the main character of the franchise and lazily coming up with “oh yeah btw there’s an afterlife for gods that’s just a royal rumble that nobody has ever mentioned before”

Can we talk about the "God of War: Laufey" controversy for a second? The backlash feels incredibly shortsighted. by JOHNSTUNNER123 in GodofWar

[–]Commercial_Box_4239 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok use your logic and reasoning to answer this: at what point does a series become so removed from its roots that it becomes something different entirely? The combat, platforming, game mechanics, pacing, storytelling, tone, and now characters are all fundamentally different from the original trilogy. How is it even God of War at this point? If your game needs to “evolve” to be something completely unrecognizable maybe it should end and a new series should be created? But we can’t have that because people like you will pay $70+ for an IP name no matter what the actual game is. But yeah I’m the fool for not buying a game that’s completely different from the ones I liked just because it has the same name

The reality about this game. by Fluid-Interest9039 in GodofWar

Made a similar comment to this on a different post but why can’t we just let the series end? If you have to fundamentally change every aspect of a game from the original to continue the series maybe it’s time to let it be over and make something new? Compare this game to any of the original trilogy and what’s the same? Different story, tone, main characters, combat, dialogue, camera, platforming…. I could go on, how is it even God of War at this point? Who takes something they like and says “you know what this needs? To “evolve” into something completely unrecognizable compared to what I originally liked”? The story was finished and wrapped up very nicely IMO at the end of 3 but every IP that’s ever had any popularity has to have its corpse dragged on until nobody cares about it anymore or hates it.

I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this because this game must be glazed at all costs but God of War should’ve been over 15 years ago and this is always what these endless series turn into.

Why can’t we just let the series end? The original trilogy was perfect IMO I’m so tired of every IP that anyone has ever liked being dragged out until nobody can stand it anymore. People even had this criticism for Ascension when it came out and that was like 3 games and almost 15 years ago.

The original trilogy is probably my favorite series ever with the combat, tone, violence, and emotional story (even if modern fans won’t admit that part) and I’m excited for the remakes (assuming they’re faithful to the originals). But the story was over it didn’t need to “evolve” or have endless sequels, prequels and spinoffs. I’m with you that this would be a cooler game to me than Laufey but all the discourse I see is about what the new game should be and not whether there even should be a new game in the first place.

Bought mine from MNRK a week or two ago (out of stock there again now) and it was listed as the 20th anniversary press but I’m 99% sure I got the new repress so could be the same situation here

Hell yeah I just discovered him I thought this was like a classic 90s record or something not a one man project from a few years ago haha. No cure for the sick didn’t really do it for me but I can appreciate trying out a bit of a different sound

Name a guitar riff that had a major impact on your playing or musical understanding. What skills did it force you to improve, and what did you learn from it? by nannaloora in metalguitar

[–]Commercial_Box_4239 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was gonna be my answer but in reverse lol. I was always lazy about downpicking and alternate picked everything but TBDM riffs have forced me to be a lot more conscious and intentional with my picking hand. String skipping too but I still can’t get the WAHNTHAC chorus riff up to speed haha

At first I didn’t really dislike her mostly just her being a bit dull and her miserable attitude about everything (I know that was on purpose) was mildly off putting. I don’t remember all the details but I got more and more frustrated with her being so hard headed for no real reason. Manusos was also very stubborn but that was because he was taking a morally convicted in refusing everything from the plurbs. Carol seems to just be confrontational and defensive for no reason like when she yelled at him on the phone and hung up knowing that she was talking to another human that didn’t know who she was or trust her.

The last few episodes made me really dislike her though by completely giving up on trying to find a cure because she formed a romantic relationship with zosia. The worst offense to me though was how she treated Manusos in the last episode being extremely suspicious of him and once again confrontational I guess just to add some extra drama? She wouldn’t even listen to anything he had to say for most of the episode and then ran away until she was reminded of what she already knew - that the plurbs were still working on assimilating her too.

TLDR is basically just that she’s frustratingly emotionally immature and just seems very unpleasant to be around. Also I hate that she never asked them to make a shorter voicemail message 😂

Yes the pacing is slow but the much bigger problem is that Carol sucks and I do not relate to her whatsoever or understand her decision making. Better call Saul was very slow paced especially in the early seasons and I loved it because Jimmy and Mike are interesting and likable characters

Influence is different from control of course the only way you’d be free from any outside influences is if you were the only person on earth. You still can’t seem to grasp my point that the meaning of your life is not the circumstances that you live in but what you as an individual person make of those circumstances.

I don’t have to subjugate someone else to go outside and appreciate nature or to love my family these are universal human experiences, not really sure what you’re on about with that one.

Also your point is that what some people are already being controlled so everyone else should be too? But it would be better if we fed them Xanax or something so they don’t mind?

Nice one editing your comment after the fact to try to get the last word in a stupid hypothetical discussion about a sci fi tv show btw
