How Come?

How come every time a new action-adventure game comes out,it seems that a lot of people dismiss it and call it a GOW clone? Its a genre of games, and God of War was not the first game made with that type of gameplay. Im just trying to understand why people dismiss games so quickly because it has similar gameplay to GOW.

Like what?BranKetra

Idk I see it on here a lot, like ive seen it for SW:TFU2, Castlevania, Bayonetta, etc.

Well... Dante's Inferno *IS* a God of War clone. And Castlevania: Lords of Shadow seems to be taking a large amount of inspiration from God of War's gameplay. Bayonetta is entirely different, and is much more of a "DMC clone" than anything else, but better. I personally have never seen anyone say that Bayonetta is a clone of anything.

And in the end, God of War is merely just a clone of Devil May Cry anyways.

And they are action games, not action-adventure.

Wasnt sure if they were action or action adventure thank you. Well my favorite genres are these action games and rpgs, so i guess im just voicing my frustration, I hate when I see a game coming out and am excited about and people bash it because they think it looks like a GOW clone. Just because its an action game doesnt mean its the same as GOW.

Because people are dumb.

Any game that has big suits and a cover system will be named a Gears clone.

Any game with a post-apocalyptic setting will be called a Fallout 3 clone

Any sandbox game with a mature plot will be called a GTA clone.

Despite taking a lot of inspiration from GoW, I found Dante's Inferno to be a really enjoyable game. There's little special about God of War anyway. It's just another action game filled with gore and attitude to suit the overly macho Kratos. It's good, but not as good as the fans say it is.
