Forum Overview :: INC's God of War :( :: Five reasons why Resident Evil 4 was better than God of War

[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]5. RE4's villians were a bunch of total pricks with at least some connection to the plot. I actually wanted to shove a rocket up that inbred midget's tailpipe, and the village chief was definitely CRUISIN' for a BRUISIN'. On the other hand, I probably would've been content to live and let live in regards to that robot minotaur thing. 4. The protagonist in God of War very obviously gave a shit about various goings-on. Not cool. 3. RE4 had urns, sure, but it ALSO had crates and barrels and whatnot. The fact that crates and barrels are a comparitive breath of fresh air says something about your game, and it isn't good. 2. Every man, woman and rabid dog dropping gold coins or bullets for a gun they don't have is marginally less stupid than that glowing orb crap. What the fuck were those even supposed to be, and why did I have to run around sucking them up like ancient Greece's buffest vacuum cleaner? Next time just credit the XP to my account, plz. 1. Finally, and this is a big one, aiming makes a better central mechanic to build your game around than tapping square to make the on-screen square-counter go up. Sorry, but it's true. SPECIAL BONUS REASON WHY BOTH GAMES SUCKED 1. The Dragon's Lair bits. While failing one of these in RE4 killed you outright, God of War let you retry them over and over again, basically without any consequence. I'm not even sure which is worse :([/quote]
