God of War 2 hits 1 million pre-orders
I finished the game a couple of weeks ago and, as expected, its really great. if you didn't like the first one, don't bother. chances are you did thou, and then I'm sure you'll love it. it suffers a bit from the "second game in a series"-illness, but that doesn't really matter when you're totally swept away by some of the scenes (steeds of time OMG!)

Ya see thats where you are wrong, God of War was and still is friggin an amazing game. No other action game on the PS2 blends all aspects of a game as good as God of War did.
Story
Controls
Graphics
Sound/Voice Acting
And from what I've played on the GOW2 demo (which I played about 20 times), it will be even better than the original.
Can someone please explain to me how God of War was just "an ok game" ?

Thats what I thought as well.

I'm still waiting for you to explain to me how you think God of War was merely an "ok" game.

I'm not asking you to defend your opinion, I would just like to know what parts of the game you didn't enjoy. What about the game makes you think its only an "ok" game.
I mean you come in the thread, saying how the game was ok (boring even), you don't understand why people love the game... but you don't want to explain why your opinion was different? Even after mysticstylez explained his. Least you could do is offer a decent rebuttal. Otherwise, yes, you are indeed a joke to me.Router said:

So was it true or not that you run this on PS3 at 720p? I haven't been keeping up.

Thats true, how hard is it to say why you don't like a game? Now that he's ducked the question numerous times, it make me question the fact that he ever played God of War.
mysticstylez said:
What I didnt like...
The basic button mashing fighting. The puzzles and most of the platforming sections.
What I did like...
Character and level designs. The boss size/design work and the story.
In the end for me it was an ok game that was overhyped (another reason it didnt live up to my expectations). As I said the second one looks pretty damn cool and I look forward to trying it out before I spend the money on getting it.

How could you like the level designs, and dislike the platforming?
Bad_Boy said:
Yeah, pitty I didnt say I didnt understand why people love the game. So you fail at baiting me right there.
I came into the thread, said I didnt really like the first one and that one of those reasons was because it was overhyped. I also said I look forward to trying the second one which is looking pretty cool.
So, you can go on calling me a joke all you want, I really dont give a crap.

I still don't understand your logic here dude. You say that you judge videogames based on the amount of hype they get ?

Router said:
Come on now, before I asked you why you didn't like the game the only reason you said is because it was overhyped. If that wasn't your main reason you would have pointed out other things as well. Not just single out that you didn't like it because it was overhyped.
Saying the game didn't live up to your expectations is one thing. Saying that you didn't like a game because it was overhyped is another.
Make up your mind here dude, every time you get questioned on your opinion, you change your tune.
mysticstylez said:
Im not saying I didnt like it because it was overhyped. Thats just stupid. Im saying that was one of the reasons I didnt like it.
X ammount of people telling me the game was amazing = My expectations for said game going up = Gaming experience not living up to those raised expectations.

Ok let me ask you this, are there any other actions games on the PS2 that you like better?

Router said:
Right here.
Router said:
Until you were pressed on why you didn't like it.
So you do understand why people love the game? Either you do or you don't.Router said:
unfortunately no.akachan ningen said:
Though there are rumors of being able to upscale ps1/ps2 games later this year (around summer iirc), I wouldnt be surprised if gow2 was one of them.

So you think overall, Total Overdose is a better action game than God of War ?
mysticstylez
Banned
Router said:
Dude I'm far from upset, I respect peoples "educated" opinions. And sorry to say, until you were pressed about it, you never came up with an "educated" opinion.
On the other hand you think Total Overdose is a better action game than God of War. I'm not even gonna go into that one, my head is spinning enough after that.
mysticstylez said:
Until I was pressed about it?
Yeah, sorry. I didnt think I needed to explain myself anymore other that the fact I didnt like it.
Thats my fault though. I just figured after a year of being away from GAF that things had changed.
Oh, jesus christ. I enjoyed it more.
You are obviously a superior gamer. You win the thread and the whole internet. Good for you.

See now you are twisting my words here. I'm just pointing out that you really don't know what the hell you are talking about this whole time. You flip flop back and forth about the whole thing.
However it's 5:41am, and I'm tired so I'm done with this argument.
Bad_Boy said:
No. It was overhyped because I had so many people telling me to get it because it was so amazing.
I got the game (with high expectations) and guess what? It didnt live up those expectations I had thanks to people overhyping it.
I never said it was overhyped because I didnt like it.
Stop trying to trip me up because so far all attempts have failed because you failed to read my posts properly.
mysticstylez said:
I didnt like the game. You took offence to that. You tried to convince me that I was full of shit. It didnt work.
Too bad for you.
I still dont like the game. My reasons still remain exactly the same. I still look farward to trying out the second one.
Stop trying to beat me at this because there is nothing to win and its just stupid.
*edit*
Oh, by the 'twisting my words' comment did you mean that I said I enjoyed TO more than GOW when you asked if I thought it was a better game? I said I enjoyed it more because I listed it when you asked me if I could list action games on the PS2 that I like better. That seems pretty clear to me
Bad_Boy said:
Do you even read my posts? I never said that said nor implied that me not liking the game and it being overhyped were the same thing.
Yes. There are two different reasons I didnt enjoy the game. I didnt know I could only have one? In fact I think Before I posted about 6 reasons I didnt like the game.
Its just funny as all hell that you two are that upset over me not liking it you feel the need to attack my opinion and try to trip me by making wild assumptions over what I really mean.
:lol
