Ignorant take. Santa Monica just announced a new title, and original GoW trilogy has been stuck on old hardware for more than a decade.
On top of that, many action games are stuck on old hardware (God Hand, Viewtiful Joe, OG Ninja Gaiden… etc.) and a successful re-release of this trilogy could encourage other developers to follow suit.
I wouldn’t comment on shit I have no interest in/don’t know much about if I were you.

This legitimately is one of the reasons I couldn’t vibe with Monster Hunter. Large beast or not, they’re a slave to their nature and did nothing wrong. I can’t enjoy “hunting” and killing them to craft weapons.
I had other issues with the game that stopped me from enjoying it, but this one completely killed any chance of immersion for me.

Furi was such a profound experience for me, changed my outlook on life altogether, and helped me realize how much I enjoy action games, but it’s too limited and I can’t justify revisiting it when there are much more fun action games out there.
- Comment on Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy 5 days ago:
I haven’t paid over $20 in 5 years. I honestly can’t justify spending more than that on a video game. I don’t care how good: price will drop eventually, and I will wait.
- Comment on Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy 5 days ago:
Unfortunately, some genres struggle going indie because they’re too expensive to develop and aren’t guaranteed to sell well. There is a reason PlatinumGames can’t afford to make Bayonetta if Nintendo doesn’t put up the money, for example, and almost every indie studio that attempts a similar feat has to spend years and years in early access.
The Genokids developer has been working on the game for +5 years and has only 2 chapters to show for it. Mahou Arms released on Steam in April 2020, and is still in early access today.
The world has become too expensive for some things to comfortably exist, or exist at all, unfortunately.

You could’ve clarify by saying “hack and slash”, which is what the og GOW and DMC are, “action game” is so broad it could even include ff7r, kh, and even battletoad
“Hack and slash” is not the definitive name of the genre. It’s just what you know to call it. There’s no definitive name to that genre, but you wouldn’t know that because, again, for some absurd reason you’re in an online argument over a topic you clearly don’t care about.
Thread is literally over a GoW game. If you couldn’t figure out what kind of action game I’m talking about from the context, that’s on you.
It’s open forum, i can join any conversation i like.
Hey, go for it. It’s your wasted time, not mine.

I do like Devil May Cry 4 and 5, and God of War 3, but my favorites are The Wonderful 101, Bayonetta, God Hand, and Ninja Gaiden II.
Which GoW is your favorite?
- Comment on God of War Sons of Sparta - Reveal Trailer | PS5 Games 1 week ago:
Yup, love’em. Killer Is Dead is my favorite. What about you?
- Comment on God of War Sons of Sparta - Reveal Trailer | PS5 Games 1 week ago:
I mean, I understand y’all don’t care about the difference between God of War Ragnarok and Devil May Cry because it’s “all action” to you. What I don’t understand is why you randomly decide to jump in online arguments if you clearly don’t care.

IDK if it’s shit, but I tried to get out of my comfort zone, bought the original after it came out on PC, and regretted it.
I’m probably not the person to judge it, but I know for sure it’s not for me.

I’m acting like they haven’t done a proper action game in 16 years, yes.

Yessss, GoW3 is the best western action game to date. No competition.
This better make its way to PC eventually.

They will really do anything but make a proper action game 😂
Kratos rhythm game when?

Not falling for this again. Fool me once, shame on you, full me twice, shame on you, Kojima.
I’m glad it’s successful though. Do your thing, you Japanese weirdo.

So this may end up being shit because of the change in management, but holy shit you can launch and air juggle enemies in a 2026 western video game, I can’t believe my eyes…

Of course, they announce a DMC-like Control sequel and go apeshit right after… I swear this genre is cursed.

- Comment on Riot Games lays off roughly 80 employees from 2XKO team 1 week ago:
I have never been less interested in a fighting game in my life. I’m confident I’m more interested in MK1 than this game, and I’ve had 0 interest in MK for years.
The entire LoL IP always felt soulless and bland to me, nevermind Riot’s awful history of greed and misconduct.
I also hate how everyone started shilling hard for this game even before it came out (oh hi, Core-A Gaming, Sajam, and TGAs), which put me off even more.
- Comment on The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. 1 week ago:
8 is definitely 10. 10 starts at 7.30~7.40 for me. Anything above 7.50 is 10.
- Comment on The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. 1 week ago:
Oh, this is fun, lemme do mine:
1-5: It’s most likely worth the money because I’ll likely beat it and have fun even though it won’t land in my all-time favorites.
5-10: I’m hesitant, but it’s probably worth the risk or it’s niche and I need to support the developer.
10-15: I either know for sure I’ll have a lot of fun with it or I’m desperate to play anything new because my library feels a little stale RN.
15-20: It better be fantastic and end up an all-time favorite because why would I pay this much for a video game.
20-60: I’m good. I can wait.

I love technology, but I couldn’t fathom making it my whole identity. I don’t understand how anyone could do it without feeling dead inside because that shit, by definition, is cold AF and absolutely has no heart.
- Comment on "Benefit of the doubt" is a very important aspect of a game's success 2 weeks ago:
I know they’re called “reviews” but they actually often wildly swing between actual, in-depth reviews and quick impressions. Blame Steam for having no interest in differentiating between the two, not users for using the feature as intended.
They could have a “Quick Impressions” section with no minimum character limit, and a “Reviews” section with a 500-word limit or more, and even have a separate score for each. Or any alternative solution that achieves the same result.
- Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding 2 weeks ago:
For a while, meta progression felt like a clever way to keep games fresh.
It always felt like a cop out to me, TBH. I’d rather you give me fewer tools and a lot of potential for synergy among them. Dead Cells definitely has more weapons than Dante has in DMC5, but the amount of shit you can pull off with Dante is insane in comparison because every weapon can do so much. People are still discovering new tech to this day: now that’s keeping things fresh.
More and more I feel like instead of removing the frustration, meta progression is removing the sense of improvement.
It always felt like this from the get-go. It needlessly muddies the water: am I progressing because I’m improving, or am I progressing because I’m unlocking more powerful weapons/perks? The answer is most likely a blend of both, but it’s never clear what’s the bigger reason.
I recommend Magenta Horizon or The Dishwasher if you want something similar to Rogue Legacy/Dead Cells without rogue elements.

Thanks for the review round up.
They say this one is even more combo heavy than the second one, but I see no launchers yet. I’ll be watching from afar until I see something that hooks me.
Either way, I’m rooting for Team Ninja 🤘
