Luke is cool and writes good articles. Heather Alexandria writes clickbait bad articles like the one about women being beat up in heavy rain and the Android game.
Tell me again how it is that Kotaku’s staff reconciles its constant bitching about the objectification of women in videogames while promoting this shit?
Geesh, and here I am watching the default 144p like some kind of schmuck. Thanks Obama!
Is it bad that part of me suspects this is the Army finding a scapegoat for something that went wrong at some higher level - procurement or training or something?
I really dislike the term ‘matured’ and ‘grew up’, indicating that the originals were somehow horrible or lesser, while they were just for another target audience.
The new Kratos doesn’t appeal to me, at all. He’s a shell of his former character and lacks any sense of originality to me. If he’d been reskinned or…
Anyone who played the first trilogy and thought Kratos was representing the masculine ideal is an idiot. He’s despicable in every way. It says more about the writer’s misunderstanding of masculinity than anything else.
More of this beautifulness plz.
And yet again, we face people happy about de-sexualization.. yet they feel super comfortable about the ultra violence of smashing heads in, cleaving off body parts and ripping out entrails.
God of War unfortunately became another game... another character. I’ll be missing the good old hack n slash mechanics and his old personality, the camera too... damn good we got the classics and god 3 remastered.
Why is hypermasculinity a bad thing? Why is finding women sexually atractive a bad thing? It seems that being a man is the new original sin. Sure God of War is a male power fantasy, but don’t men deserve to have a little fun once in a while? While the series isn’t too accurate when it comes to Greek mythology, if you…
I stopped reading after a while. If you‘re offended by a muscular hero in a videogame about ancient greece, there is no way to help you
I couldn’t connect with the depiction of Kratos as a hero.
Bravo.... Bravo...
Not to make excuses for GoW 3, but Greek myth is absolutely rife with violence and sexualization... I was listening to the audiobook version of Ovid’s Metamorphoses and routinely taken aback by the sheer brutality of it lol
And this is - ultimately - why this franchise fails.
It is *at best* harmful to the period it represents.
It is *at worst* destructive to a progressive culture that alienates historical values in favor of modernistic ones.
I don’t wanna grow up I’m God of War kid.
sjw complains about game not made for her, typical
