I agree with everything except the puzzles. I thought that that was the one bad part of the game. They weren’t challenging and they felt more like ways to make the game longer. 1 small complaint in a mountain of other amazing things.
I started to watch you in the Empire speculation and honestly I never expected videos of this quality. The sound use, the clips and the editing are fucking great man keep it up, George ;) taking the piss James fucking love you man :)
I love to see how passionate you talk about this game, if I'd had the money I would have bought the ps4 and god of war immediately after watching this video
Totally agree. I completed it last weekend and I couldn’t keep myself away from the game and knowing the story from the old games makes it really cool when you get references or something is brought up that Kratos doesn’t want Atreus to know about. Also like you said it keeps new players interested too as they become interested in Kratos’ past. I hope so much that they make mor
I totally agree with you James I have God of War and I finished the story and a lot of the side content and I still find myself going back to it this game is amazing I never was like interested in God of War but this one my god I am now a fan of God of War I can't get enough of it and I can't wait for the next God of War. This game IS game of the year.
Having just recently replayed Witcher 3 and God of War. God of War inches it out as being a better game. The story is more streamlined and gameplay more polished.
The way you describe the open world structure of the game, with it having a center with branching paths sounds a lot like how dark souls 1 works with firelink shrine. And to dark souls 2 to a lesser extent
one thing you didn't touch on in this review is the character development of kratos.. he started and just an angry guy out for revenge, to a real human with emotions. he's learning from the error of his ways and trying to be different, be better, his relationship with artreus as a mentor and father is amazing to watch. and that in my opinion is the best part of the game
I was trying to keep it as spoiler free as possible and since that development is integral to the story I didn't want to spoil it but yeah, I love his development, he still feels like Kratos but he's a better man, and he learns from Atreus the same way Atreus learns from him, it's so beautifully written. Definitely tune in for our spoilercast coming within the next week or so where we'll delve entirely into spoilers and go over everything
This game has ruined any other game for me. It 's that good. I don't think I'll ever have this much fun, feel this much awe and excitement for any other game. I cannot wait for the sequel, I really hope they give us something as amazing as this. First game I love enough to play NG +, doing it on hardest difficulty rn, and I can't help myself but explore the world, do the same side quests I did on my previous playthrough, just because it's so fucking interesting and fun
I didn't realize it til I watched your video but this might be one of my all time fave games. At least in top five along with horizon zero dawn and dmc 3.
Awesome review! I totally agree to everything you said in this video. I really never thought we'd ever get a sequel after GoW3 & was so excited for GoW4. I had my doubts and thought maybe people were overrating it, but it seriously is a game of a lifetime... And as you said, all game companies should be taking this game as an example.. Keep up the videos man, I love your channel!
Why is this video so low in my feed when I am searching GoW reviews? I am subscribed to you and I still have to scroll through 50 videos to see yours? WTF RU-vid!!!
This is a truly great game and it had a good ending I very much agree with you about the wanting to learn more about the mythology... After completing the game I'm now learning about Loki, Odin and all of the aesir gods
Was skeptical of god of war 4, mainly because I was a huge fan of the early games and didnt like the over the shoulder, uncharted/last of us style, but I got the collectors edition, and loved the game, one of my favorites the last 5 or 6 years
It's simply better than The Witcher 3 Which isn't to say the Witcher 3 is bad The Witcher 3 is certainly deserving of a 10/10 but something about the finite things in God of War coupled with the scope of it and the narrative, I have to say the overall experience is better, it's a flawless experience.
They are completely different games. Both of them are masterpieces! We don't need to try to compare them both. Just enjoy them by what they are and praise them by what they can do :)
I have one problem with ur last statement, I think places like Activison and ea know single player games with no micro transactions or multiplayer do sell, but I think they also realize multiplayer games sell more so there is no reason for them to stop what they are doing.
Its my 5th favorite game of all time. I dont think any game (in my opinion) can stand up to the Dark Souls series and Bloodborne. But God of War is a seriously great game.
I don’t think it’s game of the generation, and I feel that it’s somewhat overrated. However, I have quite enjoyed the game. From the engaging story to the great characters to the fun combat, I had a lot of fun. Despite that, I find a lot of the gameplay components repetitive and after a while it becomes annoying. Plus, I have a few frame dips every now and then. As a whole, I think it’s one of the better games we’ve had in a while, but I don’t think it’s the best game EVER. Thanks for the review!
OH Come on. Everyone knows PacMan is the best game ever. It's a classic tale of a man with an eating disorder, who's crossed every 'T'; Dotted every 'i' & feels trapped in a maze - haunted by the ghosts of his past. Tear wanking narratives bruh!
I mean it has everso sightly better hardware, doesn't make it the better console tho. Since everything else is relatively the same, PS4 just has far better exclusives I'd buy a PS4 over an Xbox One if I had to choose. You get the same third party games running at 4K but better exclusives....
