There is nothing in both games that we haven’t seen before

Nothing

With each area outside of scripted events you have a strong idea of what you’ll see

Even the UI tells the player everything and leaves little to the imagination before you can even explore on your own

Their design is extremely dated and boring

There’s no one in the industry or player base that sees other games and says “I wish these games were more like God of War or Ghost of Tsushima”

They were designed to be safe, but safe is boring

Idk I don't think there's too many games that compare to GoW in the sense that you'd be able to even ask for them to be more like GoW. It's not a brand new, groundbreaking genre or anything, but I can't think of anything recently that's particularly comparable to the experience you get in GoW, it's obviously an Action Adventure, but it sort of found it's own lane within the genre. GoT obviously has a lot of comparison but I think it blows them all out of the water.

I hadn't ever seen anything like the wind guide in GoT, I thought that was a really great touch. and I think the things we have seen before, GoT did much better than the comparable games (duels, stealth, combat).

The only open-world climber I've seen that comes close to being as beautiful as GoT is HFW, but I still think I prefer GoT's world just as a matter of style. And I like how much control they give the player over the presentation. You can tell they knew they made a really good looking game and gave you the option to experience it with a super bare-bones HUD and no minimap. I think something that gets underrated is how even without a robust HUD you don't feel handicapped at all. You don't really need a minimap with the wind guide. I think one of my biggest takeaways from GoT was how the collectibles didn't seem like a chore because you'd just happen to come across them as you were riding around enjoying the map and make a little detour.

But yeah, open-world climbers all around suffer from a lack of variety in their quests. It's either a fetch quest, a stealth quest, or a fight quest. Which is why I preferred the collectibles in GoT so much more because they added some variety with the platforming.

why is it "hating" if someone has a valid negative opinion on something?

if you dont eat eggs, cuz you dont like them, are you a hater of eggs or you just dont like them

This is bullsh1t. Plenty of discovery in both GoT and GoW. And those harpies weren't no damn easy. I'll give u GoT bosses but even they were entertaining.

And the beauty and immersion of the actual open world itself in GoT is bar none.

Fact.

I think some people want certain games to be more than they actually are without knowing what they�re actually asking for.

It�s a mongol invasion. There are no super natural aspects. If the enemies are raiders what would the bosses be? Trolls? Ogres? Dimensional beings? They�re commanders n1gga. Big dawgs in the same army. The whole game felt like what it was. Running/riding through your home with devestation everywhere. Bodies everywhere. Left on the ground. Hanging. On spikes. Everything. How more realistic can you make it for the theme that it is? What new mechanic are you trying to introduce? A samurai survives a slaughter and has to adapt to fight back against the mongol I vasion. The sh1t is brilliant.

Side quests were dope too. Especially that kenji merchant guy or whatever that kept fu#king over the mongols and begging to get bailed out

A lot of backstabbing, regular men turning into bandits, revenge stories, suicide, etc. it was all really well done imo

Idk what more n1ggas want bro. Bosses like sekiro? You mean that super fictional sh1t?

Duel system? Nasty. The stand off system? Nasty. The authentic combat literally taken from Samurai that still practice to this day? NASTY.

If it wasn�t for TLOU2, GOT would have swept GOTY awards EASILY

GoW is better overall in my opinion. But you can't go wrong with either. They're both phenomenal games that deserved GOTY consideration and serve as a highlight of how good Sony has got at developing their exclusives.

GoT obviously performs better since it's newer and currently has a directors cut with performance boosts but 60 fps vs 30 fps and 4k vs 1440/1080 doesn't really matter when you're comparing the overall experience that the game itself provides and when those experiences are much different.

If you're talking two racers, sure, performance will probably have a lot more of an impact.

But here, when it comes to single player story driven games? Nah. Holding on to performance as some sort of difference maker is just lazy comparisons.

GoW just has a more compelling story, and it's scope is perfect for what it aimed to accomplish in my opinion.

GoT is probably the best open-world climber out of all of them out there, but I find GoW's characters, combat, world, and story all more interesting and fun overall.

GoT is a great game but I do agree with to the extent that I think it does get overrated by some people.

I think the fact that we have this oversaturation of open-world climbers may play a part in that.

Agreed with all points.

Doesn�t really make sense to compare both games since they�re two different genres. Compare GoT to Horizon Dawn and GoW to Uncharted/Spider-Man.

Having said that, I�d rather play GoW again. I did platinum both though.

If Hades had more media GOTY awards than GOT, how exactly would GOT have swept?

Ghost got multi player and tons of content they gave for free just because fans wanted it. Then came back with an expansion and DLC. God of war ain't got that type of content. Great game though

I actually finished GOT great game with a fun multiplayer mode.

Biggest complaint about GOW was the gameplay wasn't enjoyable to me felt repetitive.

GOT let me be as versatile as I wanted.

god of war has more examples of greatness. After maybe 2 more games then this should be discussed.

my intent to compare the 2, wasnt the reason i decided to play.

my reason for comparison was the realization that one felt like a chore, and the other doesnt give me that feeling, im asking in general which do you find better, to see if anyone else came to the conclusion i did for thier own reason.

if GoT is overrated then maybe i need to play longer than an hour and see why you say that.

I agree GOT is such a chore to finish bro.

It's great for the initial island and then it's repetitive.
