This podcast really turned me off to god of war. Not the bros before hos thing…I mean GoW has always been kind of douchey and dude bro, but the random bullshit difficulty.
I can’t believe not one of you seems to have a problem that another multi millionaire takes to kickstarter to fund his project! i’m pretty sure you belonged to the group of people who were upset that an industry veteran like Molyneux took to Kickstarter. Molyneux might be rich, but not shoot me into space rich. Seems pretty audacious to me.
So why can Kratos ruthlessly murder other people and creatures in vicious ways, but not this particular woman(I’m guessing it’s the chick who’s like half arachnid from the demo)? This is what I kept waiting to be explained during the podcast. You said because within the story it didn’t end up mattering. Do any of his brutal kills matter story-wise? Didn’t you start the conversation with how lame the story was anyways? She probably still supplied an entertaining boss fight. Why afterward should he not be as brutal with her as anyone else? Because she’s a woman, despite the spider legs and her drive to kill you? A guy or a full-blown spider, sure, but a lady, not so much(correct me if it’s not the spider lady)? The trophy is juvenile of course and some jackass probably thought he was being cute by putting it in. I’m also surprised you picked on the story so much while letting the meathead dudebros of Gears go unscathed. Obviously I haven’t played it so I’m simply asking questions.
there’s a real big difference between watching tournament streams and watching people practice, which is why I think Matt doesn’t like Voyboy. Voyboy is great,but his stream is just him practicing, not really entertaining, unless you’re a big fan of league.
Day9 might be an exception since he’s more of an entertainer since he’s not actively competing in SC2, also he plays tons of different games
After seeing the part that everyone is up in arms about. I have to say it isn’t all that shocking. I mean this is a series in which the main character has ripped a person’s head off, beaten Hercules’ head into a bloody mess, blinded Poseidon by jamming his fingers into his eye sockets and then breaking his neck, impaling the final boss of GW2 with a giant blade, stabbing the sister of fate to death, mashing a siren head into the ground and then breaking them in half and beheading Euryale and Medusa and then using their heads has weapons, but this is where people draw the line? The God of Wars series has always been super gory and over the top and people have been fine with it but this one thing is where they have crossed the line and people get all offended. Don’t get me wrong they should have been smarter about naming the trophy but in the context of all the crazy shit that has happened in that series this is freaking tame.
Exactly, I just went and watched the part and they are overeacting big time. But then again they are going by what Arthur told them and he oversold it a bit.
Fact 1. You don’t get the trophy for killing the Fury, you get it when the dude gives you an item
Fact 2. The trophy isn’t in reference to Kratos killing the Fury, it’s in reference to their son siding with Kratos over the Furies.
Fact 3. Trophy was created and named by a woman.
Fact 4. In God of War III, you jam an innocent woman into a wooden gear in order to use her as a fucking jam.
Fact 5. You can examine her bloody remains afterward.
Fact 6. Arthur Gies enjoyed God of War III and made no mention of this segment then, or now.
Fact 7. You’re all a bunch of silly white knights trying to get attention by being oh-so-sensitive.
Fact 8. Your intentions are painfully transparant and you somehow come off as even douchier than the dudebros that like God of War.
Is jamming a Broad into machinery considered loaded imagery?
