And like I keep saying. They could have done all that characterization and humanization without abandoning the gameplay that really makes God of War, God of War.

In my view regarding it and as someone who played one of the earlier games (Ascension) a few weeks back I don't think it would have worked. If anything, I think it hasn't aged as well. I think the switch to over the shoulder worked better but I agree that the combo system should have been incorporated into it.

Okay. Ascension is like... the worst classic GoW. Play the 3 remaster on PS4 to get a glimpse of the franchise at its best before you judge.

I've played all of the main God of War games in one form or another. I picked Ascension cause I last played it.
I know the series well enough to have a view on the gameplay.

NGL a potential Mario Golf Switch is a much more tempting offer to me right now than all of Smash DLC combined.

Ghosts of Tsushima looks bland, never been a fan of the last of us, and how can you get excited for a console with zero compelling games.

Look, it’s not that the games are bad, it’s just that there’s so little variety. The Last of Us, The Last of Us on a Motorcycle, Dark Souls in Victorian London, Dark Souls with Norse Mythology, Dark Souls in Japan, like where’s the spark of inspiration. Where’s the color? Where’s the goofy stuff?

The console itself didn't even get it's official reveal chill. There's bound to be stuff they show off when said official reveal happens.

Honestly I would say between Uncharted 4, Spider-Man and Ghosts of Tsushima, I would say they actually use color pretty well. Just because said character's aren't brightly color animal mascots doesn't mean said games aren't colorful in their own right. There's also Street Fighter 5, which is only on PS4 and PC.

Really the only thing I can agree on is that some of those titles, barring Insomniac's Spider-Man (a game a like a LOT) and maaaaaybe Ghosts is that not many of them are up my alley.

And like I keep saying. They could have done all that characterization and humanization without abandoning the gameplay that really makes God of War, God of War. I really like the story in 4. But not enough to save it.

Hey. I have depth. My two favorite genres are platformers and hack n slash. And those genres usually have very different aesthetics.

Not Sony games. Those are third parties. Kakarot isn’t even an exclusive.

Persona 5 is still exclusive to the PS4.

"What's that? You want Ice Daisy in your new Mario Sports game? Aight bet."

I'd really like to know the thought process on them choosing characters for these spin-offs. Cause it's such an ideal way to get obscure weirdos to become almost iconic.

I concede to that. These games are all very pretty. Not much more though. Except Uncharted. That looks good.

True. But my quote was about lackluster Sony games. Not third party exclusives.

I hope you’re right. For all our sakes.

Shiver Star is also some pretty dark stuff. One of the reasons I love Kirby games so much is that they can become creepy, unsettling, or dark with no warning.

xD Shiver Star is one of my favorite places from Kirby 64, CUTE and Christmasy at the beginning, and then the dark, industrial stuff. (plus it looking like Earth in Ice Age)

I feel like a lot of Nintendo Games are like thus
"Oh, look at this pink puffball interacting with these cute orange puffballs, whoops, now you're fighting a grotesque demonspawn that has bloodcurling realistic screams."
"Look at you being this cool 10 year old catching this cute rat, oh, what's this, you're going to hell and catching Satan. Have fun!"
"Look at Bing Bing Wahoo Man going to space, so majestic, oh, what's this, you wanted to cry while watching the entire universe get shredded piece by piece? No? WELL TOO BAD!"

Just thinking about the ending of Galaxy 1. Everyone DIED except for Mario (and Luigi, depending on who you pick) and Rosalina, Bowser was straight up shown dying in the explosion.

I mean, obviously they wouldn't state it, being a family friendly game and all, but considering that Rosalina had to recreate everything, yeah, it's pretty much implied that they all had to be revived.
