This game is getting excellent reviews. Curious, both the axe and shield are empowered with abilities but only the axe seems to reside on kratos when not in use. Where does the shield go as i see it pop in and out from time to time. Not a nitpick but just an observation that maybe someone has an answer to.

AmUnRa2229d ago

The shield is kind of magical, Look at the left arm at the bracelet, the shield is popping out of it.

darthv722229d ago

Ahh... that makes sense. thanks.

Check that one out, you can see how the shield folds out of the armguard.

darthv722229d ago

thank you, that makes much more sense. I'd never seen that angle.

Truballa112229d ago

This is a trash review. Going into it expecting it to be like the old series is stupidity. Everyone knew it wouldn't be hack and slash like the old games and this reviewer could embrace the concept if change.

darthv722229d ago (Edited 2229d ago )

being a huge fan of the originals I can see where some would be skeptical but this is quality through and through. I know I'm not going to be disappointed.

bigmalky2229d ago

I've been a fan since day one... Not sure why anyone who has been following the series since then would be expecting the exact same GoW.

If it's downmarked for this, the guy is either obsessive or a latch on fan later down the line.

If he has genuine gripes... Fair enough.

TheOpenWorlder2228d ago (Edited 2228d ago )

Actually, whatifgaming said it exactly IS a hack and slash repetitive combat lol xD so this is funny

dp52122229d ago

Sounds like the author did not finish all the side quests and end game material. Some have said some the best fights take place outside the main story. Seems like the author rushed through the game to get the review up. Also he is not impressed by the graphics. Please tell me what graphics do impress you then becuase it looks beautiful to me!

Zeke682229d ago

Every time I read that a reviewer don't get impressed with graphics like this I think two things:
1) Don't play it on a TV from 1998 that is not supporting todays technologies or...
2) Time to get (real thick) glasses?
I love these graphics so I'm a little curious what the reviewer thinks is better than this tbh.?

chronoforce2229d ago

To be fair to the reviewer, they said they were not impressed not that the graphics were not good. Quite frankly, this gen we have been spoiled.

CP_Company2229d ago

people saying that God of War looking best in graphics in any platform. this reviewer is just delusional.

CP_Company2229d ago

at this stage, this looks like a clickbait.

many sites calling this game masterpiece or game of generation, even sites like polygon, ign gave this game 10.

SegaGamer2229d ago

Not everyone is going to have the same opinion, it's about time people on here tried to understand that instead of being so immature about it. Also, it's an 8 out of 10, i wouldn't exactly call that a bad score.

No Way2229d ago

Anything below a 9 is bad for most people on here.. and you're right. 97 percent of users on here feel that only their opinion is the right one.

Prince_TFK2229d ago (Edited 2229d ago )

You are right. What it comes down to is this is just another people’s opinion. A great game is a great game no matter how much score it gets. Time to stop cry about it whenever GOW4 got an 8, because to me an 8 is still a very great score.

TheOpenWorlder2228d ago (Edited 2228d ago )

Didn't polygon have writers that slept with overweight female game devs for higher scores? Yes. Yes it did. #SO TRUSTWORTHY!!

SixFragz2229d ago

reviewer had to have made a mistake

how do you forget to add the other 2 points

Might be in a minority here but I didn't enjoy any of the sections playing as Atreus or having companions at all. If I had my way it'd be Kratos on his lonesome from start to finish. Straightforward action gameplay without the endless boring chatter.
