when did everyone start hating god of war

i can't remember if i've ever actually watched an e3 conference before but this ranged from decent to good imo outside of jk rowling and the scripted co-op chatter.

sony smash bros isn't for me but then neither was the nintendo version. beyond could have used some actual gameplay - that trailer couldn't stand on its own like say, versus 13 - but it's basically just more heavy rain for people who liked that.

then for things that appeal directly to me, a3 looked great even though i'm not sure what naval battles have to do with being an assassin, god of war is god of war, and the last of us was incredible.

BTW, did anyone notice the shocking lack of actual Harry Potter branding on Book of Spells?

And the girl who killed the creepy crawlies got "house points," not specifically "5 points for Gryffindor" or what have you.

Maybe Rowling was smart enough to write and endorse this but not tie the franchise to this anchor.


She might also be very sensitive about having a "book" be labeled "Harry Potter", even if this thing was any good.

The Last of Us looked great. There were a bunch of small details you could pick up on that are going to differentiate it from Uncharted, aside from the general tone.

Beyond... I thought the clip was interesting, and the facial animation looked much better than Heavy Rain, but I can't imagine the gameplay will be interesting. Really didn't care for the movement in HR.

God of War was pretty whatever.

I thought the crafting looked cool, when he made that bottle into a grenade. I think that could be cool, finding items around the world, and then being able to put them together quickly like that. That encounter look like it had a bunch of different ways it could have gone, too, which is quite a bit different from how Uncharted handles it. Like, they weren't totally screwed when they were sighted.

I actually felt the other way. they are screwed when they're sighted thanks to the scarcity of ammo. you don't just unload clips onto guys.

I wish that ammo was scarce for the enemies as well and that one shot would kill you. I like Last of Us because it seems to have a lot of weight to its actions. the best way to do that would be to make it less video game-y. you're this regular dude who can somehow take a dozen shots before killed. blech.

anyway, minor nitpicking. the game looks good but not as good as everyone else is claiming. I don't get how it separates itself from Uncharted outside of the scarcity of ammo. the movement, the scenery, the cover mechanics -- all of it looks very close to Uncharted. the only difference is that it's different tonally, but take that away and you're playing Uncharted, basically.

It looks like Uncharted because it's by Naughty Dog. If you added rechargeable health, more guns, more ammo, and a bigger emphasis on action and gunfights, yeah it's Uncharted! That didn't look like Uncharted in how you'll play. The lack of ammo is a key point--because it's not a cover shooter primarily. Having a health bar should help raise the tension, since you can't just hang out in cover and wait for full health.

but you are hanging out in cover and shooting people. that's the major emphasis of the action scenes. until they show me a section that isn't that, i'm going to assume that's what it is. if you're not shooting people, you're hanging out in cover to avoid being seen. you just aren't shooting as much.

anyway, I liked it. I just don't think it's a dramatic shift from what they've been doing.

You don't have to shoot anyone at all to get through that section of the demo. They even said you could skip right past it, which is a rather big change from Uncharted. Calling The Last of Us a cover shooter isn't really accurate, because it won't be a good one in that case. The game looks like it's about much more than that.

all I got from the demo was "make your counts shot in this shooter" and yeah I know the game is supposed to be so much more, but I don't think they showed that to me very well. I have a Game Informer from like 4 months ago that sells the game much better.

yeah, what neon said. if they wanted to show that it isn't a cover shooter, they probably shouldn't have shown a section where you take cover and shoot.

I guess we just saw different things. I've played a lot of Uncharted, so I really focused on how it looks different. If it does end up just being a shooter with limited ammo, then yeah, my interest would take a hit.

Last of Us isn't my game of the show, but I thought it looked nice.
