I bet they would have, but I’m sure corporate demanded they stay with an established IP for brand awareness. It’s a bummer when commerce wins over creativity.

You get a star for being mature enough to understand not liking something doesn’t mean throwing a hissy fit is called for. Bravo, truly.

Good problems to have.

I wasn’t trying to “toss” the term around so much as lay it down beside you and tuck you two in together. Is it not cozy?

I actually would have loved Sigurd. Or a game that swapped between Norse characters. I’m imagining stealthing passed Thor to cut Sif’s golden hair, or naval battles sailing a giant ship made of toenails.

Yeah, I only just saw the news about the kid button. Eh, still gonna wait & see. Whatever the particulars, I hope they execute it well.

I don’t agree, but you still made me laugh.

I’m gonna hold out and wait until I see more of the game. I need a lot more than this before I either hate or love it. Chin up!

I just feel like the tiny slice of game we’ve seen so far isn’t nearly enough to know what this game is or isn’t. I can’t seem to find any definitive info, but there’s talk that you won’t be playing Kratos, but the son. If this is just a playable cinematic intro, there’s no way of knowing that this is how the camera…

Making the assumption that a creative endeavor undertaken by a team of strangers must fulfill your specific requirements or it’s uninspired placeholder garbage? That definitely smacks of entitlement to me. When I see something that doesn’t particularly interest me, I move along to find something that does. I don’t…

Happy to be back with you, sweetie!

Totally agree. I just think this game looks good, and I’m always happy to see a good looking game, especially if it’s a dev that previously I didn’t think to much of.

It was both of those things, times a billion. Did you try reading it?

I don’t mind. Let them explore something else. If it turns out to be great, hooray. If it tanks and people hate it, they’ll go back to basics, and it will have been long enough that it will feel even better to have that game back. I dunno, I guess I just like new things in this world of safe repeats.

Why be pessimistic though? Did you want something more like the previous 4+ games? At this point I think I’d be pretty bored by that. I don’t really care who the protagonist is as long as they’re exploring new concepts, and from the seemingly different play style and a completely different style of storytelling, I’m…

What a hot take.

Apparently that won’t stop most commenters from collapsing into a puddle of petulant whining. Also, I thought it looked great.

HE’S arrogant? For pointing out how entitled and petulant that comment was? Yeesh.

Thank you. I can’t BELIEVE some people watch this and can only complain, like the world owes them something. I loved it, I don’t care who I’m playing as if it’s anything like this video. Visually it’s incredible. It can’t look that good when it’s released. Can it?

I seriously can’t believed we just watched the same thing, and you’re complaining about it. Maybe it’s just because I grew up with 8-bit games, but I’m in awe watching that video. This looks amazing. What kind of person are you that you feel so entitled? If it’s not the EXACT thing you want, you HATE it?
