@Resident_Cringe I talked with that dude a bit extensively and he's gotta be a kid lol, I tried to explain to him that the main problem is him coming in and saying weighty stuff like "unpleasant controls" (lmao) and OGs being "shitty" without even having the "credentials" but yea, no point
@theKrabs_11@AgreeingBook13 and even if we're talking about how Kratos is now a retired father and all that jazz, the point of both of those games is that the "world" catches up with him, so there's no deep meaning for him not fighting THA SNAKE or whoever else, it's an excuse for talentless devs to be lazy
@theKrabs_11@AgreeingBook13 like that game had one of the worst portrayals of Norse Mythology since it's boring af, other bosses are just tattooed bums accompanied by stock fantasy creatures with different colors... there's no excuse to the lack of enemy variety gameplay/visually for a GoW game
@biggieU_U@gaisericss@Boshikage_Yowie still, his passion isn't equal to his "skill", not everyone is a Mikami/Kamiya, + judging by the fruit itself is easier since the full development cycle isn't just him and a ragtag group of devs fighting for "art", and the fruit is meh as a definitive version of RE2
@biggieU_U@gaisericss@Boshikage_Yowie oh I didn't know that, that kinda changes things a little bit on the "attitude" side which is still isn't about "kill that author" (in Mercs 3D of course) even if it sounds harsh lol
@AgreeingBook13 both PSP GoWs also had you fight a giant monstrosity in their openings, while your attacks were SHAKING the ground (cuz you're the God of War duh) and both of them didn't have an HP bar of an MMO expansion last boss lmao
@Arkham_Fatman@Resident_Cringe ah my bad, I provided a simple timeline of a game design condensed in two sentences and then added an overall issue with remakes affecting future games negatively, but it really isn't a core thing... wait till you read my other messages lel
@Arkham_Fatman@Resident_Cringe and again, you're confusing the shift in tone being serious and professional VA (which doesn't equal good automatically also) with the story/characters now being better when they're clearly not, the writing is worse and the characters are literally shadows of their former selves
@Arkham_Fatman@Resident_Cringe sure you can replay the RE2R all you want, but that system WAS there to actually insentify that bc it's a story game and not an arcade mode like Mercenaries
