I hate God Of War's combat system. Developers shouldn't go with what's popular, they need to be innovative.

Mario was innovative. Mario is older than Kratos.

I think we talked about innovation on another thread. Developers nowadays are afraid of innovation. They just go with what is popular and safe.

But, without innovation, you can't move FORWARD. It's just everybody copying each other, and running around in circles like a headless chicken.

They don't want to move forward, they just want to go 'round. And you know what makes the world go 'round?

In another topic on the forum I said that developers are scared to take risks or be innovative because nowadays developers think it's not innovation that sells anymore, it's what currently "hot" and a safe bet. The innovative titles may get the praise and the acclaim from gamers all over the internet but it's the safe bets are the ones making a profit and gets sequel's every two years or so.

Meanwhile that one game that everyone loved on the internet never gets a sequel and the studio closes down while the generic AAA game becomes a franchise and rolls on.

Portal/Portal 2 being the exception that proves the rule. Though somewhat negated by the absence of Half-Life 3.

You just described the over saturated CoD FPS Period we are in

Trev- Errrr I mean Adrian Fahrenheit Belm- Tepes

[JR]

After playing through Dark Souls, I'm having a hard time getting hyped for this game. I know both games don't have anything to do with each other at all, so it's kinda weird to say that...but still.

I think I'm mostly interested in seeing how the story plays out. The backgrounds look great, but there's nothing from the combat or the enemy design that really excites me.

I think I'll be disappointed with this, but I'm really, REALLY hoping that MercurySteam proves me wrong.

...Lord of Shadow's combat system is an entirely updated version of Lament of Innocents, why the heck do you people still call it the GoS system? LoI came strictly out way the heck before GoW ever did.

I wish they had reunited under better circumstances.  Kind of a bummer to see your father again after 30 years only to see him as one of the creatures of the night now.

The Fahrenheit/Tepes surname doesn't exist in this canon

Trevor Belmont AKA Alucard Belmont AKA Adrian Alucardo in the 20th century

He's the son of dracul so he's dracula

[Black Cat]

Honestly, it's probably better they don't even touch the original surname. Might just add insult to injury if they go the route most of us suspect. Even though I do like the sound of Adrian Belmont for some reason.

Oddly enough I remember Legends despite never getting the chance to play it. I have the fandom to thank for that, I guess.
