I see a bunch of crying 9yr olds

Go ahead and take your swing. I'm just about done in my engineering masters program. How far in life have you made it game critic of the year? And I can go on and on about the actual story line like for beginners how historically inaccurate it is or how terrible the karma system is or how the gun mechanics just make for a very draining game. "Oops I walked in a swamp lets clean my gun. Oops I fired too many shots in a shooting game lets clean my gun. I get it, you wanna be a cowboy and this is the closest you'll ever get but popular opinion aside i dont have to change my mind because you highlight different aspects of a still shitty game." I have now explained my view point with SEVERAL concrete supporting statements and I'm still just "stuck on my brainwashing conspiracy" listen here simple fellow, marketing is essentially brainwashing. I'm not saying there is some evil conglomerates out there going "haha this is how we will manipulate these fools" what I am saying is marketing firms, especially for large companies like rockstar, know how to appeal to the mind through strategic advertising and hype. It's literally capitalism at its finest. The overall story of god of war and the development of a character that was created some 10 years ago was amazing. They were able to pick up on a story line from an entirely different deity system and completely alter it while maintaining kratos' original brutal nature while at the same time developing him into a kinder soul and a trying parent to a stubborn and sometime arrogant boy while still being the brutal asshole that he is. But you're right, pew pew from your six shooter is much better.
