I saw their trailer and honestly? It's not even necessarily about the gameplay anymore the way they set these trailers up annoys the fuck out of me. Who thought it was a good idea to make it so that trailers all follow the same theme of flashy jump cuts then shitty pop music all over everything? They keep doing it in genres that it simply doesn't belong.
Remember Game of Thrones? Remember when that had an awesome sound track and you could actually be hyped for what comes next? Now it's some crappy 'epic' pop music or whatever the fuck genre the normies listen to tons now BOOM BOOM BOOMing in the background and they've barely got the sound balance edited right because it's so obnoxious. It also seems like the music all sounds the same to me as well like they probably bought a library of the shit and are just throwing whatever at it instead of finding something that fits.
I know I'm almost nitpicking but when even their marketing material looks like shit these details really start getting jarring for me because it's so obnoxious.
What's sad is, most of the AAA cinematic games are hiding a genuinely decent game under the bullshit. Like, the multiplayer for The Last of Us on PS3 showed that the game was actually quite fun and could be great. Same with GoW4 (I'd assume Ragnarok is similar if worse on the "hiding it under bullshit" part), which is incredibly fun once you are able to actually play it instead of being stuck in another talking section.
But, most people who praise these games don't actually play them. They just watch LPs or longplays on Youtube and read articles about the story. So they never mention that and it gets lost under the narratives.
There definitely were a lot of potentials in all these triple A games buried by the woke stuff and crap cinematics.
Yep, I find sony fanboys to be just tourists who never played games before until it got mainstream and popular. I bet they still think not much of the gaming.
