Rez said:to be honest, I was a little underwhelmed by the demo.
something was a bit off. the 'scale' felt kind of forced, and I think I've maybe grown out of the simplistic GOW battle mechanics and QTEs.
I'll definitely pick this up, but the demo has lowered my expectations a tad, which is probably for the best.
Man you must have another GOW III demo than I have...shagg_187 said:Fucking Kratos!
No wait, FUCKING GAME DESIGNERS! "Hey, lets make him walk on a thin platform where a single divergence will make him hang to the platform he was walking on and by the time he gets up, blades will show up and make him fall to his death!"
After 50 attempts, I just turned it off... More tomorrow, I guess...

Pretty sure God of War was play tested the fuck out of. I remember reading Jaffe's blog at the time and him talking about how it was one of the best things they did for the game, and no other game was doing play testing like themRez said:God of War 1 is full of moments like that.
Remember the pushing the crate on the conveyor-belt scene? Or the timed spike room? Or the pushing a cage uphill room?
It's sort of part of the charm for me. It comes from a time where games clearly weren't, unfortunately, as play-tested. Technically, it's inferior and rage inducing and all the rest of it, and I'd never accept it nowadays, but there's something 'innocent' about GOW that just makes me love it.
I never had a problem in Hades to be honest.Rez said:well then they did a really shit job

Kos Luftar said:I can finally play God of War II for my first time.
zoukka said:It's a fucking orange texture...
The one problem GoW has, is the lack of artistic vision in some parts of the game. Mostly Titans and the gods. I mean Disneys Hercules has better looking Titans than GoW...
The gods look like some action figures from the 80's.
Combichristoffersen said:Enjoy! It's arguably one of the most epic, and best, games ever made
Kos Luftar said:It sucks that this will be the last God of War game.
Punchy4486 said:Yeah, it'll be just as horrible as when they stopped making Metal Gear Solid games after Guns of the Patriots, or Halo games after 3, and I can't believe I'll never get to play a new Ratchet and Clank game ever again!
Jaffe leaving didn't stop them, what makes you think Sony will ever let one of their consistent cash-cows die?

GuardianE said:Haven't we figured out by now that killing Kratos doesn't do anything but piss him off more? :lol
But yeah, I do expect this game to "settle" the current timeline, as it were, but there can definitely still be spinoffs and prequels.
Punchy4486 said:See MGS 4. Oh, he actually had this adventure in between these two adventures that we forgot to mention. Oh, here's another prequel. Oh, there just happens to be a pretty similar person in a pretty similar circumstance who is about as able of a fighter and does a lot of the same moves that will somehow in some loose way be connected to Kratos on his quest for revenge.
PS I hear the Rolling Stones are going on a Farewell Tour pretty soon. You might want to go see them, cuz it'll be the last one.

LLaMa-Tech said:Someone mentioned the Gods vs Titans battle in GoW III is basically the reason we no longer have them around any more.
If Kratos is killed, I would be down for more prequel stuff.
Maybe even stuff when he was just a Spartan general...?!?
All you have to do is stop the conveyor. There are a lot of things that players come up about and call bugs but they never think to try other stuff, which is generally there for you to discover if you just TRY :lol~Devil Trigger~ said:Love the God of Wars but both 1 and 2 where near broken on God/Titan Mode

Hades was just the care-taker of the underworld. He wasn't the lord of death or anything like that.I should be doing hw said:But if Kratos kills Hades, which he will, how can people die? Which is a paradox within itself really.
Cory Barlog actually mentions in one of the BTS videos on GOW2 how the spikes were the only part of GOW which wasn't playtested.Rez said:well then they did a really shit job
Do the greeks have a god for that which Kratos can kill? But really, killing the head honcho of the underworld would essentially render death inert anyway. If Kratos can get out when Hades is still around think how much easier it would be for him/everyone else to get out.Zophar said:Hades was just the care-taker of the underworld.

shagg_187 said:Kratos has been killed off before, and that didn't do any good, did it? Infact, that sonovabitch was crowned as the God of War. What's worse, when he was killed again, he fucking came outta the depths of Hades!
I'm sure if he is killed at any instance, he can and will be brought back...
