Water GiverWe're you guys aware of God of War Ascension when it first came out? I literally didn't know about it till a little bit after God of War 4.
I feel like it had no marketing and I think it's bullshit it never got a port to PS4 even tho it dropped like late 2013 iirc. I know it was reviewed average back in the day but its been getting better reception in retrospective.Think imma buy a copy for PS3. It's the only GOW title I haven't played and it's ass with emulation so far. Thank fully it's not as expensive as I thought it might be, it's like $40 for physical and I been wanting to play it forever. I was waiting for a potential port at some point but they seem to be ignoring it again with the upcoming remake of the og trilogy smh.

I missed it fully but I got a ps4 in 2015 with Witcher 3, Bloodborne, Fallout 4 and Metal Gear Solid 5. I was off of gaming for like 2 or 3 years although I was aware of other games around the 2012 - 2014 period, but I'm glad it's getting better retrospective reviews.
Apparently it was reviewed just decently cuz the media had "God of war" fatigue and how they were so desperate for a few years for games to "mature".
Sucks it didn't sell well but it looks amazing, the intro boss I saw might be even better than 3's.
I can see it going up in price too so it would be good for anyone to pick it up rn while it's still reasonable.
God I hate how much is lost and stuck on the PS3.

Ascension was promoted decently around that Summer 2012 - Early 2013 period as far as I can recall.
The problem was that people were beginning to feel fatigued by the OG God of War Bird's-eye view formula, so many tuned out of the installment. Mind you, God of War 3 came out three years prior, and it was not only the conclusion of the Greek saga but also a technical marvel that pushed the PS3 to its limits. So another prequel felt redundant at that point.
Plus, it was overshadowed by The Last of Us, which came out a few months later. In fact, a lot of games whether PlayStation studio-owned or not, were kind of forgotten and pushed to the wayside in the gaming media circuit. 2013 was the year of The Last of Us Vs Grand Theft Auto 5. So, if you weren't one of those games then you were not getting talked about. Plus, the arrival of the PS4 and the gaming community was ready to move on
Regarding Ascension, I thought it did some cool things graphically and mechanically. Kind of felt like an early PS4 with how beautiful it looked. I'd say give it a try but do not touch the multi-player mode

Everything always comes back around to being Last of Us fault nowadays lmaooo, like Gears of War before it with its standardizing camera and lack of color
And yeah I kinda figured, plus with how desperate to "grow up" media wanted games to be and how they downplay tf out of God of War's story telling and deeper messages of the og trilogy n psp games until literally Ragnarok with retrospectives
Sucks tho they still ignore it even tho it is getting better praises the last few years and it's a really cool n pivotal part of the lore - iirc the free dlc of Ragnarok that is basically Kratos therapy sessions with psychologist Tyr makes references to the psp games and ascension but there's no way to play them 💀
Thankfully I played the psp games on the actual psp back in the day cuz it seems like they ain't porting those no more neither even tho they have the collection for them on ps3 - s*** sucks ass

I remember getting hype off the commercial and then losing all interest when I saw it was yet another prequel
Then I saw it get ripped up in the reviews for prioritizing online multiplayer over the single player campaign and after being underwhelmed by the demo, skipped it altogether

Ascension had many cool things about it tbh. But one area, the boss fights it just couldn't hold up to God of war 3, to which this day has the best bosses in the entire series including the new games. Felt like a huge step back in that regard. Opening boss was pretty dope though and the last one was cool from what I remember. The rest of that s*** I vaguely remember. I remember perfectly all the bosses in gow3 that's how amazing they are.

So with this new trilogy remake is that s*** supposed to have all 3 games at once or what? Have they spoke on that? It'd be crazy if the made the entire trilogy into one long ass game. It'd be epic and to avoid it being too long they could cut some of the fat from the older games and streamline it a bit more. Hell itd probably be a pretty normal sized game by today's standards if they did that anyway
Jun 5HaroldsChickenI worked in field yes more women changes some things but associating the negative changes to women isn’t necessarily true . We just talked about corny writing . Dragged out franchises wanting to see them do new ip that isn’t all women . Sony is doing what works for them . I think you can tell progressive stories from many perspectives. GTA has a leading Latina and I already know when it drops or shows gameplay people will find a way to call it “ woke “
To me the best way to advance the medium is to show flawed human characters from all perspectives
yes in terms of poor writing there are many interesting angles.
people who used to make movies back in the day, were inspired by things other than movies, because cinema itself had relatively little history, so their movies were inspired in significant ways by other areas like literature, theater, religion, philosophy, alchemy perhaps....but then a few generations later; the people who make movies are making movies inspired by other movies. And then people are making movies inspired by movies inspired by movies, and so on. sort of an endless derivative degeneration as the medium becomes more and more self-referentialSimiliarly the people who developed and wrote video games in the 1980s-2000s would have been inspired by their own niche interests, video-games themselves being firmly outside the mainstream at the time, but nowadays game developers grow up playing video games and then make video games inspired by other video games. now on top of that, is the issue of literacy itself. something like 25% of US adults read at or below a third-grade level and beyond that, even English majors cant read Charles D***ens anymore.
Many working writers never transitioned from young adult fiction to criterion collection literature, they went from harry potter and hunger games straight to writing quests and narratives for games and the drop in quality is palpable, even without all the political messaging and diversity awareness slammed on top

If they were gonna remake them in the style of the new games this would def be the way to go
That said I fully expect them to do something closer to an hd remaster type thing where they keep everything mostly the same (not fully confident in that tho lol) or at most a hybrid style
Jun 5·1 replyHaroldsChickenIf they are remaking it to be like 2018 gen games is it ? After that I think people may be gassed out
