MGSV changed the structure of the game, gameplay it self is still very MGS. Even if the old games were linear, gameplay was very open in the old games and "do it your way" type of gameplay was always there, like, if you insert MGS3 or MGS4 gameplay into MGSV setting/structure, it wouldn't be a very different game.
I mean, I still don't see what you mean about the charged heavy attack. I'm playing on normal, and I've actively tried to spam it on several occasions, and it never works.
Extreme generlization with the ND comment. Games are very different other than on a superficial level.
Dark Zelda?! Sounds awesome! I'm literally buying it and watching the download start right now just because of what you said! :D (4 hours left... Gah PSStore is so slooow!)
Pretty much. This approach has been a trend in most of Sony's big in-house projects for a while now.
If you guys have actually been playing this game you definitely would not be saying this. Those that are clearly either trolling or just being disingenuous. This game is only similar in the most superficial way.
To me it's almost like if you distilled some of the elements of Zelda and some of the elements of Resident Evil 4 into one game. In a VERY good way.
Ive played every Zelda game and I'm 20 hours into God of War. It's nothing like a Zelda game from my experience. It's more like Rise if the Tomb Raider than Zelda. I never understood the connections anyone made.
I just use the same strategy as using heavy weapons in Dark Souls, just make sure you have enough room or are behind them and most of the time and it will work. It also seems like if you don't hold R2 down all the way until the attack ends and instead let it go a little sooner the attack comes out faster but I haven't really tested it, so it may or may not be.
Most of the ones I've fought either don't talk or are speaking in a different language so not really. Although yeah, The Stranger fight made me bust out laughing a few times when he said completely comical things whille being juggled around like a practice dummy.
It has trappings of a Zelda game like a lot of adventure / exploration games do but this doesn't feel anything like a Zelda game in the way Darksiders / Okamk does. Yes it does things Zelda does, but a lot of games do; I wouldn't tell someone that if they love Zelda they will love this like I would Darksiders 1 or Okami.
Is the game not more realistic, grounded and emotional compared to previous God of Wars?
The thing about RE4 too is that it didn't just reinvent the series, it reinvented third person action games as a whole. It and Gears of Wars (which was building from it) basically created a gameplay template for third person shooting that we're still following
That's because it's not like Zelda, it's like previous God of War games. Combat sections/light puzzle sections/boss sections. That's always been God of Wars MO.
I mean, you are collecting Idunn Apples to increase your life gauge. That's not unlike collecting heart pieces in many Zelda games.
Hehe don't worry ;) I just needed that final push, and I won't get mad at you if it's more like Rise of the Tomb Raider as someone else said since I loved that game as well (100-percented it).
Wut? That title would still be wrong plenty of franchises have gone into bolder n fresher territory. In god of wars case I would argue it did the opposite of bold.
Umm no? A gigantic serpent that spans the entire earth is present in the game. You throw an axe that freezes enemies and can fly back in the air to you. There are bosses the size of a warehouse. This game is epic in scope and not in any way "grounded". Less campy than the original trilogy yes, but not "grounded". I'd liken it more to comparing something like Frank Miller's 300 versus something like The Lord of the Rings. OG being 300, and GOW reboot being LOTR.
Sounds good! I hope it keeps it that way til the end.
That's a bummer for you. I don't know how y'all play video games the way some of you are so sensitive to motion.
Ah man I can't even imagine dealing with that. I'm one of the lucky ones I guess. I've never experienced motion sickness in my life. Not even VR oddly enough.
Hmm that's interesting. I didn't think RE7 was that bold in its design, but more in its execution. One of my faves of this gen, but honestly, it really feels like REmake but if it were in a first person perspective. Although actually a shit load more scary.
Wow. This is exactly what it is! The exploration, world design, crafting and puzzle solving all feel VERY TR reboot. I was wondering what it was I was trying to connect it to, and you nailed it.
