platined god of war , if you dont play it to 100% the game is actually medicore , red dead 2 on the other hand is a masterpiece in every aspect
I loved God of War, but it does not come close to RDR2.
Rdr 2 imo but God of War was also a masterpiece. But RDR2 had great and more memorable side characters and Dutch. Most of em are very good, the game is just impressive all around, graphics wise, the huge world, activities, music and storylines are all top notch and it's an experience which i believe purposely is so long and gameplay "slow paced". It's a game meant to soak and take in. There's nothing like it still, well maybe only the Witcher 3. 2 of my favourites. The scale is crazy. Hopefully Rockstar can produce another masterpiece like this.
God of War GOTY 2018
I would give it to rdr2 if the controls and gameplay weren’t so 2009
For me the best game of 2018 it has to be Monster Hunter World. It brought the Monster Hunter franchise to new heights, and its gameplay is awesome
Copy Kitty.
It’s hard to say between god of war and red dead redemption but and open world game will always beat a linear game.
The fact that one year had God of War and Red Dead 2 is a real gift. What an amazing time to play games.
Red dead is the first game that made me cry because of arthurs death.
They are both game of the year. You can’t even compare the two.
Red Dead redemption 2, it’s embarrassing that people even compare god of war, the attention to detail in the former is astronomical.
Kratos and Arthur Morgan are some of the best characters of all time (well-developed) in my opinion.
Funny, these are my top two games of all
Time
S-m betta
God of war best game, red dead 2 nope sorry just my opinion
For me RDR2 for narrative, but GoW for gameplay. But I enjoyed them both.
God of War EASY. What make RDR2 lost for me is the gameplay the shooting mechanics are absolutely bad.
People had legitimate emotional responses to RDR2. Which, as much as I love God of War, that’s a completely different echelon there.

Best game of 2018 is Monster Hunter World?
God Of War had surprisingly good combat, better than rdr 2. Rdr 2 has pretty clunky gameplay but I give it to RDR 2, it's amazing to explore the world and I love the general vibe of the game.
Haven’t played God of War but after playing Rdr 2 I can’t say that Red Dead Redemption 2 is a way more innovative game, God of War looks like an amazing game but I don’t really see any type of innovation, while Rdr 2 has so many details it’s actually insane, most games wouldn’t go out of their way to have as much details as Rdr 2 has, the fact that you can be riding your horse and a branch can clothesline you off your horse with realistic physics is such a cool detail, so many more details in Rdr 2
How can you think odyssey is the best of the new trilogy ?
Origins is the best, Bayek is the most interesting and well written new assassin (deserves his own Trilogy like Ezio) Alexios and Kassandra are boring stale pieces of bread, don’t know why people think the voice acting for Kassandra is so good sounds like shit to me, I can’t have opinion on Valhalla but it doesn’t look that good, it might just be me but I find Odyssey so fucking boring, garbage ass characters ?♂️
I can’t talk about story because haven’t finished it but so far I’m bored af
RDR2 should have got GOTY IMO
Dumb "having" to choose. Just get both.
2010 would a good year for this. Best year in gaming imo
You guys know this were not the only 2 great games that released that year right ? I honestly don't know why God of War is loved so much, even i can see some of its qualities. AC Odyssey was my GOTy of 2018, and the other games of this year i played : Monster Hunter world and Shadow of the Tomb raider, i love them at least as much is not more than these 2.
GOW is pretty much perfect besides nitpick
RD2 has clunky combat which really drags it down in my book
Alex! Calvin Johnson retired in 2016, so I hope you weren’t picking him up in any 2018 leagues!
Ok, I have never played the previous God of wars, and just played it after it launched on PC, so I'll say it from an unbiased and unhyped perspective, God of War is overrated af. Its just a Good game, its not a generational great game.
