I’ve honestly only played two gow games but i know the whole story. I’m not really a gamer outside of casual fifa matches but gow is the only exception
Not wanting to play God of War 2018 to play Ragnarok is insane. That’s like wanting to watch The Two Towers without watching The Fellowship of the Ring.
Sounds like God of war was a great story, a great script, a great movie- with performances of esteemed actors in cutscenes. Nothing of those are exclusively facets of a GAME. For talking about marrying mechanics and story he's praising cutscenes… which divorce gameplay from narrative since you're rendered immobile and essentially watching a movie scene play out. There is SOME merit to games being able to tell a character story better because you literally walk a mile in their shoes. Like you can understand when Kratos tells you he's sick of the violent ways of his past coming back to haunt him because as you play you can experience the violence from his perspective…
Your perspectives align.
But the parameter of good v bad game isn't that. What Garnt is explaining as the best part is a parameter of art. The way the art can have you think about and experience emotions and the human condition. What Elden ring does differently isthey don't have you embody a character on a stage. They let you PLAY as yourself on this grat stage/world. And it's adventurous because there's stakes and difficulty to doing so and you must learn how to be better at the game to progress.
I can’t imagine an anime-loving, Japanese-based podcast host saying anything different. It’s a great game, but MAN…play more games, son…You are on that fantastic but SUPER Twitter-basic tier.
Garnt of War: NonaCrust
I like his opinion personally, i really hope Connor plays it
"if the game requires you to study or research outside of the game it failed as a game"
he says after simping Elden Ring
conor : i like elden ring
also conor : if the game requires you to study outside of the game it fails as a game
I think it's a fault within the games industry to feel the need to compare GoW with Elden Ring. They both do different things really well. Elden Ring has fantastic freedom and explorability while GoW Ragnarok has amazing combat and cinematic story. Your personality is really what determines which one you think is better.
Man said play no dialogue story pokemon like its comparable to god of war lol
Sooooooo overrated ….. bad pacing … shitty game design … amazing story and characters with underwhelming ending, and a decent combat system !
7,5/10
Don’t worry Garnt, the story isn’t over yet as there is going to be a 3rd game
3:48 this statement aged well
I completely agree with Garnt.
The new god of war is awful, stick with anime
God of war ragnarok is the only game other than red dead 2 that has ever made me cry
10:25 [nervous Destiny noises]
When he's saying the old ones, i thought he was talking about the OG trilogy
<3
Tales of Symphonia was the only game I’ve ever 100 percented & I made an audible “NICE!” at work hearing you Garnt mention it
my man, you described this game so fucking perfectly. Every fucking word out of your mouth is how I describe this game. I'm gonna go back and 100% the first game after I'm done with this one. The quality of the side quests remains cinematic at throughout. When I finished Horizon, AC, every other game but Spiderman, I've just stopped after the story cause I'm done. Acting, writing, graphics, mechanics etc its the winner for game of the year, it spoke for itself at the awards
"Man, to play the older one" is such a notorious murderer for chances to get a timeless experience. GOW 2018 wasn't only old, it was still a masterpiece that did some aspects a little better than Ragnarok.
I swear, lots of people suffer from being diserviced just because it is Old. Hell, Play Portal 1 and 2. Old as heck, yet absolute Gold. As if newer games mean closer to perfection.
Surely, Cyberpunk 2077, COD Vanguard, or even Battlefield 2042 Top GOW 2018 just because they are newer.
Deym i am super agreeing on his logic about playing gow and elden ring
Nah… i preffer Elden Ring this year.
My main problem and why I think the game is 8.5/10 instead of some top 10 gaming experience ever is because it was too repetitive, even though they said it wouldn't be. You fight the same "mini bosses" 4-5 times each, and while it's not just trolls anymore, it's like maybe 4-5 different types and each time they have the same attacks, the same executions, and nothing much changes aside from the color scheme and element that they use, which hardly really matters.
They reused a ton of animations, and it has boring and generic executions that aren't that great even when compared to God of War 2018. Like, EVERY even little bit humanoid enemy type gets executed the same way, be they an actual human, light elf, dark elf, or a lizard-like creature. Werewolves now only have one animation, and the combat in general is poorly designed and boring AF, partly due to the over-the-shoulder camera.
And lastly, Ragnarok (The actual event that happens in the game) wasn't NEARLY as good as it was hyped up and supposed to be.
I like stories of growth and change as much as the next guy, and love that Kratos finally grew to be someone who can be worshipped as a truly good God, but calling the game "Life changing" is taking it a bit too far, IMO.
Kratos is going to fight Jesus next.
All these opinions about it being game of the year stop when you remove the difficulty slider lol these people finish the hard bosses on easy
MULTIPLAYER THAT'S WHEN THE GAME WILL ACTUALLY BE LIFE CHANGING.ITS PRETTY OBVIOUS IF ATREUS IS PLAYABLE THEN WHY SHOULDN'T SOMEONE ELSE BE ABLE TO PLAY AS HIM.NOT TO MENTION KRATOS ISN'T TRULY FREE WHEN IT COMES TO USING COMBOS AND MOVEMENT LIKE OTHER GOD OF WAR GAME'S.
Gow deserved goty
This some major dick riding witcher 3 is leagues better
Is that gigguk?
Nice shout out to Tales of Symphonia first game I think I 100% it is well it was definitely in a class of its own easily the best RPG on the GameCube
