God of War Ragnarok.
God of War was a really, really good game, and the first singleplayer game I´ve completed (and in this case, 100%'d) in maybe 5 years. The combat is so satisfying, the axe mechanics are incredible, the weight behind it, the way it sticks slightly in before it returns (like it's actually dug in there). When you get the blades of chaos... oh my, the combat gets even more satisfying.
The only thing I want is more, and I suspect that is what they will give me. As long as Cory Balrog is still directing and Christopher Judge is still the voice of Kratos, we're all good.

Lmao. In what world is halo infinite going to be better? Halo comes from 2 really disappointed games, God of War comes from one of the best games of the generation. It's night and day really. Nobody cares about halo anymore, they had their three strikes with Infinite reveal.

GoW will be GOTY 2021.

God of War definitely. I hope it'll come out on PS4 as well.

I think my personal 2021 GOTY will be God of War. I'm pretty sure it will sell very well, but I think since PS5/PS4 will have way more big seller exclusives this (or last) year, sales will spread through more games.
Halo Infinite instead due to the 'Nintendo syndrome' of having way less big seller exclusives will focus them more in this game not only this year but the next one too. In addition to this, the Halo IP is superpopular so tons of people will be already superhyped about it, and it's the main MS brand so all their MS fans will go for it. So I think Halo will sell way more than GoW even if it ends being a turd (I'm pretty sure it will be a great game). Both on release and during all their lifetime.
They also mentioned Halo Infinite is going to be a GaaS and its multiplayer is going to F2P, which traditionally means that in the long term will have way more content and number of players. GoW instead very likely will be like the previous games, a single paid game with no big DLC/MTX/GaaS/etc plans.

God of War is a confirmed (very likely H2) 2021 game. We know Halo infinite has been delayed, but not until exactly when (very likely 2021). We can see GoW 2 being released before Halo Infinite.
Sony's recent trailers say GoWR is a 2021 game, which fits with the development time of previous Sony Santa Monica games. More than enough if as it seems it's a direct sequel and they don't reinvent the wheel, someting not needed because they already did it in the previous game. The previous game still looks stunning today, so won't need to push visuals too much (but as always they will).

I said Halo Infinite will be waaaaaay bigger, keyword bigger, than God of War Ragnarok.
I made no claims about it being better.

In ancient greece homosexuality was way too normal, so... it is expected.
Funny story: homosexuality was impossible in ancient greece.
See, there was no genders like we think of them today, but rather the penetrator was manly and the penetrated was womanly, so a man sexually penetrating another man was having heterosexual sex just as he would have if he'd be penetrating a woman.

Halo is dead. Only Bethesda titles like Starfield & Elder Scrolls VI can rejuvenate Xbox.

we have seen more of the next elder scrolls then we have of god of war 2 and you really think it will be out in less then a year?

I think it may slip to 2022, but I'd bet you any amount of money that it comes out before Elder Scrolls VI.

God of War was probably my favorite game of the 8th gen so definitely that

without a doubt it's halo. I am more involved in halo's story over the god of war. also, I do not like the settings of the god of war on ps4. sure I like the game but to me, god of war 3 remastered still a way the better game is not even funny to compare.
Also, it's been a while for a proper halo game single-player and online. I cant wait to kick some ass online too

yeah that was my point we have seen as much of a game that years away as we have of one that’s due out in 11months...
Unless it’s a side thing spider man MM or a remake with some extra bits like the spider man remastered it won’t be hitting in a year.

20 % voted Halo Infinite, it's roughly the Xbox market share worldwide, that makes sense.

Yeah because trailers that have a date are always right...
. They already have Horizon II and Ratchet & Clank this year which is more than enough. No need to crowd their releases. They might have even said 2021 on purpose to entice gamers to purchase PS5 but I'm fairly certain God of War Ragnarok will be a 2022 game.

If we're being honest, the breakdown is simple.
Halo 5 single player was a trash. It was a treadmill of monotony.
God of War was also a treadmill of monotony.
But here's the important thing...
God of War was rewarded with sales + acclaim.
Halo 5 was kinda derided.
That means SSM will give us the same crap and 343 will try to change things up.
Plus Halo 5 multiplayer was pretty good.

Not at all interested in either, but I'll guess God of War solely due to the playerbase size.

Does anyone care about Halo as much as Destiny at this point? I’m intrigued by what I’ve seen of infinite but the game basically already exists with way more creativity in Destiny so unless you just love a static character like chief with minimal customization I don’t really see the appeal in the franchise after Reach and the departure of Bungie when the MCC is actually what everyone wants from multiplayer. Crucible is actually good now too.

Sony isn't as bad anymore as announcing games before they're reasonably close like studios such as Microsoft or SquareEnix. I think they learned their lesson from stuff like The Last Guardian.
They told their investors they're shooting for 2021. Obviously, they could miss that deadline, but it shows me THEY (SSM) believe they can make it.
I don't take them not showing footage to mean much. We've seen games such as Demon's Souls, Ratchet and Clank, etc released well under a year from the first footage shown.

Few people still care about Halo after the recent entries which were relatively mediocre. That, and the Halo Infinite "reveal" that looked like a PS3 game.
On the other hand, we have God of War, probably the best game of the last generation (my choice for sure), a true masterpiece excelling at everything (gameplay, graphics, story, characters, sound, music, it has it all...) and a huge success both in ratings and sales, with multiple game of the year awards. It's not particularly close as a contest.
It's even surprising there are still 20 % of people who answered Halo. Maybe they never played God of War or they're the last hardcore xbox fanboys left from the Xbox 360 era.

Don't be lame, the game was 10/10 fantastic, but it wasn't a complete game, just play a game like the last of us 2, thats a complete game. This fact has zero to do with sony vs ms. Report yourself for being silly.

Halo: Infinite.
Only because many of us just want to witness if they managed to turn it around from that really ho hum reveal that shot this game back into development for a year.
Being excited for God of War is boring because you know its going to be pretty great from day 1.
I'm all in for the potential memes that Halo: Infinite might bring to the table.

Halo is still a media juggernaut and it will likely outsell GoW.
I'm split personally, I love Halo lore, but GoW4 was a much better game than the last two mainline Halo entries, and this is kind of my make or break point with continuing to care about Halo games.

Um, yeah, I can agree to an extent.
Ending felt a little anticlimactic, but it is a classic way of wanting the audience to want to see more in the next entry - for better or worse - which is what Corey wanted in the first place.
lol Halo is not a media juggernaut. This isn’t 2007 anymore. So many shooters have taken over and Halo has disappointed ever since. GOW is just getting more and more popular. In fact the last game sold over 20+ million copies. Halo last best selling game came out in 2007.

I think Halo has potential of being bigger than GoW this gen but it all depends on its multiplayer component being a success.
