It's generally censored compared to originals, both gore and nudity.
Not surprising in a world where activists get their way. :(

Nudity? Actually, even more adult, there was sex.
Pretty sure there was quick time event interactive sex.

I think GOW 3 Remaster on PS4 released early(2015) enough not to get censored.
Sony policies have changed since.

Nintendo has the uncensored versions of games, they give parental controls.
Sony censors the parents instead. lol Since they censor for all.

So basically, Nintendo says "you control what's best for you and your family."
Sony says "we know what's best for everybody."

Moans about "activists" to then go full tilt activism with completely unconnected or unrelated political vies and theories.
Spot on derailing trying to enforce your political opinion on a forum.

I don't think freedom(or lack there of) is a political opinion.
However, some want to make it that way so it can be restricted to control people.

btw, Just checked out GOW 3 Remastered on PS4, it is NOT censored.
Fore Gore, you can rip heads off of "any" enemy by grabbing them.
For Nudity, many enemies are topless and you do have sex.

The original games just seem more adult themed overall.

Agree this game deserves best gore mechanics/splatter/dismemberment like GoW 3. The immersion is lost in my opionen. We need a brutal Kratos with showing no mercy against his enemies. Hope they add it in the next game.

i admit this game took a step back, my fond memories are the games being bloody with lots of boss fights, death and despair etc.
This version is all fantasy and light love with his little boy, its 1 of my few gripes with this version and why i didnt rate it higher even though i really enjoyed it.

Hopefully some talented modder will make a mod to change out the blue, orange and green blood to red color.

Idk how much more gore people want. You can literally split draugr in two (almost) and slice heads clean off. You want Kratos to pull out their guts or something?

Actually if you kill a Wulver when they're stunned, Kratos rips his jaw out all the way to the belly, it can't get much more gore than that.

Well, play the other 6 GoW games and ask again.

Spoiler: Yes, many want more blood and gore because it was always part of the GoW series. And blue, orange and green blood is a joke.

It is like tone down the violence in Mortal Kombat games.

I've played the trilogy before and have gotten 100% on all games. So I know how much gore was in those games. Was it dialed back? Maybe the blood but the finishers are still pretty visceral so there's really no reason to complain.

I'd actually like that. Two last games went overboard with idiotic over-the-top realistic gore to compensate for the lack of sex appeal.

Tbh I only mind the color of the blood. The finishers are ok, and fits well in the GoW series. No complaining from my part.

Btw I got the platinum trophy for all GoW games as well.

I think opinions differ greatly on that.
In my opinion, the over-the-top brutality suits Mortal Kombat very well. It's a stylistic device that shouldn't be taken too seriously.

It is like people who likes splatter movies. It is a own genre which not everybody likes, and that is totally fine.

Ah yes. This one again. Answered many times over already. But, just a product of it's time. These older GoW games were beautifully brutal and it was what we wanted. This new game is not nearly as violent as I recall the earlier games to be. But policy changes, time changes, thin skin changes etc etc etc, this is what we get. A beautifully crafted game that drops the gratuitous sex and over the top brutality in place of a deeper story and more bells and whistles around the graphics. It doesn't need the gimmicks of blood and boobies to stand out anymore.

It's a great game. I can groovy with it. I get it. I enjoy it for what it wanted to be and what it accomplished in that. I'll always prefer the first 3, but I love this one too.

[Awaken]

Gore is definitely toned down. Corey said that it makes the parts with that gore/real blood have more impact.

what are you talking about god of war 1 to ascension all have amazing stories. I got this game because it said god of war and the brutal kills of 3 made me enjoy it a lot more. the brutal kills in here are pretty garbage.

You obviously haven't gotten a finisher off on a werewolf yet.

lol that execution is literally nothing. if thats the best one then its still disappointing. that should be the most basic one done

You can't get more brutal than tearing down a creatures front half by their lower jaw.

Messaggio originale di Argentum:

To me this game is a good game, but its not a good God of War Game.
The combat in the old ones was better, faster, more fluid, more brutal.
This here feels more like a mix between God of War meets Dark Souls. Slow paced, a bit clunky, not bloody at all.

Again, a really good game, but not a good God of War.

The combat in the old games was Santa Monica's take on action games of the day like Ninja Gaiden or Devil May Cry.

This soft reboot of the formula is Santa Monica's take on action games of today, and yes there is definitely a Souls-ish influence there.
