This feels more like GoW than NG.

I feel like mashing is far too rewarding in this game. Raiden is too quick to even truly be punished. You can cancel pretty much anything into a parry, dodging makes you even better, but you don't even have to dodge, the parry will stop multiple attacks that strike it at once.

You're faster than everything, you're stronger than everything. You have pretty much every tool that you could need to defend yourself on your character alone. It gives you more than enough health. The boss looks cool, but he's delightfully repetitive and predictable.

NG wasn't many, if any of those things. But GoW is ALL of those things.

I'm sorry, I'm an infallible pro, and you're far too casul to beat me in anything. Desu~

I haven't been hyped for any of those games except DmC, and that's the only one that's disappointed me.

I haven't experimented with the combat yet because the game hasn't given me a reason to.

God of War is also about having huge area of effect attacks.

Well with a sword that swipes a good 6 feet in front of him, and with heavy attacks that reach even further, I'd say Raiden isn't too far off from that.

Also Blade Mode, you might have to control it directly, but it's still an AoE.

I tried that and tried to use blade mode as fast as i can with accuracy. Also there is a launcher that you can combo into n the air, i might use it with blade mode ( juggle+ AIR slashes +finish with blade mode). Just trying things out.

Launcher is FF Square right? Yeah, I used it for a while, it was cool I guess, but you don't need it.

Stop. Take a step back.

Think about what you just said.

Being able to brutalize anything 360 degrees and 6 feet around you isn't an AoE?

I guess you don't consider Bayonetta's spin attacks AoEs

In GoW you only need Square Square Triangle.

What's your point?

And in Dynasty Warriors you only need Square, and in Racing games you press R2 to go.

I don't see what you're getting at here. Just because it's "easier" in another game, doesn't mean it isn't easy here too.

Welcome to Normal.

Raiden is too quick to even truly be punished.

Raiden is significantly slower than Ryu.

You can cancel pretty much anything into a parry,

Just like NG! Except the "parry" doesn't require a directional input and never whiffs.

You're faster than everything, you're stronger than everything.

And this is different from NG?

You have pretty much every tool that you could need to defend yourself on your character alone.

Welcome to the Action genre.

It gives you more than enough health.

You take far more damage on Normal than any other Action title in recent memory.

but he's delightfully repetitive and predictable.

So is Murai, Doku, Genshin, Volf, Tengu, Drunken Skeleton, etc. Point?

NG wasn't many, if any of those things.

NG is all those things on Normal, if not worse.

But GoW is ALL of those things.

Care to explain how you're faster and stronger than Zeus under General Kratos PAIN+ BH conditions in GoWII?

Well with a sword that swipes a good 6 feet in front of him, and with heavy attacks that reach even further, I'd say Raiden isn't too far off from that.

Are you really suggesting Raiden's attacks outside the dive kick and 'Stinger' have comparable reach to Spirit, let alone DR, the Appollo's Bow, Arms of Sparta ranged attacks, etc?

Also Blade Mode, you might have to control it directly, but it's still an AoE.

NOPE.jpg

Saying "THIS GAME DID IT TOO" is a cop out. People are hyping this game up to be something insanely good, it's good, but nothing like what everyone is acting like. It'sgo hella flaws like anything else.

Also you didn't counter any of my points...well you did, but in doing so you only got my point across better. This game is super easy, at least on Normal. I don't forsee it becoming much more difficult either. The issue is the AI more than anything.
