No, I answered your initial question, and apparently you only wanted to make a statement and not receive the appropriate correction (your statement was made on a basis I never claimed; that it was “woke”).
You asked how it was woke, I explained it wasn’t that it was woke, but that it was the swapping a mainstay character from a series that’s been going on for 2 decades and 9 games without a character change that people didn’t like about it.
That’s all. Not “woke” on basis of character alone. We agree.
Domino’s UK just roasted the new God of War game, and Santa Monica Studio got mad and responded quickly.
Domino’s UK posted:
“God of War game with no Kratos = Pepperoni Passion with no pepperoni.”
It went viral and Santa Monica Studio got so mad:
“OK thanks for the feedback, Domino's pizza corporate account.”
When a pizza company makes fun of your game, you know something is wrong.
@JoeTalkShow@libsoftiktok True, sometimes it’s good to keep some of the crazier Dems around so you have someone to point to when you need to fire up the base!
@AmericaPapaBear@DrClownPhD Perfect use of AI, lmao 🤣
You know, I’d *almost* have a hint of respect for Dylan if he actually agreed to do a commercial like this for real, haha.
Not a lot mind you, but some! 🤏😆
@CreamOfRoach Not 40 doofus😂& Trump is the one who kicked Epstein out of Maralago long before anyone else blacklisted him. And you’re too afraid to take the heat—only able to [attempt very, very, very poorly] to give it! So in closing: you failed+were wrong on all fronts! Again! Bye RoachCum!
@CreamOfRoach Weird how only the bigmad lefties getting cranky over *a meme* say anything like that😂 Everyone else thinks otherwise & ratios you 🤣 (& they have nothing to benefit from doing so!🤷🏻♂️)
I can only imagine what a guy who publicly goes by “Roach Cum” looks like
Care to show us?
@TheQuartering 💯% correct.
Crazy how some people think swapping the playable main character of the last 2 decades/last 9 games of this series — titled *after* the aforementioned main character — is somehow not only “okay,” but “makes complete & total sense”!
I doubt they’ll ever “Lear… 😅🤷🏻♂️
@GhostRS60@Dexerto You haven’t said anything that’s true, so I don’t have anything to be defensive about, lmao. Funny how defensive you became, though 🤔
@CheddarCllctr@Tectone Yeah, it feels like the kicking off point, but not much else. Maybe there’s more to it, which brings it up past just a tangential connection, but again, it’s the whole “9 games this way, now 1 game this way” whiplash that I think everyone is mostly concerned with
There is a component to this that has been on my mind a lot in recent memory actually, with other IPs/etc., where, I think many people would be a *lot* more receptive to spinoffs and character swaps/etc. if it weren’t for the fact that, ~90% of the time, it’s always from the mainline studio(s), meaning, because this story/game/film/tv series spinoff now exists, it’s taking manpower away from the mainline series.
In one odd sort of small scale way (and actually one I *agree* with vs disagree with as here) is “The Fly” episode of Breaking Bad. After the series is said and done, it’s one of the best overall episodes. But in the heat of the week to week? “Ah hell, we just want to see what’s happening next!” And “we only have x more episodes/hours to go, things need to get moving!” And so knowing how the industry works, I wasn’t personally disappointed in the slower pace of the Fly ep, as it’s a typical bottle ep, and as we later confirmed, they pretty much had to do a bottle ep for budgetary purposes, so it was either “take this episode or take one less episode overall,” and so of course, taking it is always the best option.
Looooong story short being that I, and presumably many others, see this spinoff as kicking the can down the road another 3-5 years before another new mainline GoW title will be released, making for what will technically become a 6-10 year gap, vs what could’ve been just a 3-5 year gap.
But on that note I’ll leave you with this, I could very well see the cube character working well. I really could. Again, in its own vacuum, easily! It’s just the fact that it almost feels like it’s a game wearing GoW like a bodysuit rather than actually being something that fits what has preceded it. It does feel like a lot of the new developers/writers brought some of their own unrelated ideas to the table and tried to retrofit them here, rather than take ideas that make sense in the universe and apply them accordingly. But hey, time will tell. Above all else I’d love to be proven wrong. More fun > less fun, always! 👍
