I know, I was just fuckin with you.
And I am not gon stop giving you shit for playing shit like elex while you turn your nose up at actually good games.
The new god of war is different from the past ones and could be one of the best games of the generation. Sometimes when people say shit like that, they aren't just blowing smoke. Especially when its literally everyone that has played the game. Sometimes they are actually good.
Just like with music, greatness transcends genre.
not turning my nose up. like i said, they may very well be fun games, and i might enjoy the hell out of them. they just arent really my style so nothing ive seen of them has interested me. therefore im not going to go out of my way to play them, let alone buy a console. when i owned consoles and games could be rented from brick and mortar stores, i played pretty much anything that looked fun. but now i just stick to pc and play things that are more up my alley.
with that said, ill still just go for pure fun factor at times. speaking of which, im still playing fc5. theres been times i feel ive had enough since its really more of the same, but something keeps bringing me back. once you fire it up its rather addictive. and the missions with some actual thought to them other than "liberate this outpost" can be pretty damn fun.
as for the story and themes...meh. but i give them credit for, the most part, not going full blown sjw and shitting all over anyone that doesnt share such views. i figured it spend a lot of the time mocking "hicks" but while theres been a couple heavy handed political moments its not bad at all and actually seems interested in trying to embrace country culture and create some rather likable characters, while remaining apolitical for the most part. though the christian cult thing is an easy target and its cliched. maybe theyll be some interesting twists later on, but i wont hold my breath. it would be pretty cool twist if in the end the cult was right and the end was approaching. but theyre too evil and villainous to really do anything else with. they could have made them seem "bad", but possibly justified as the story went on making you think twice about your actions. that could have been interesting.
anyway, my main issue with the story is with the way its told, with the bad guys constantly capturing you, which you have no control over, forcing you into story segments which revolve around you some how managing to escape miraculously every time.
