Seriously, i just don't feel excited by the game at all and im thinking about skipping it in march for GTA:EILC. Am i the only one who just doesn't feel excited what so ever about it coming out? im more of a Heavy Rain/FFXIII/GTA guy than a GoW/DI guy. I guess i always preferred DMC/Bayonetta gameplay over GoW's.
Actually, he's not. I, too, have about 0 excitement about this game. I played GOW:COO on PSP and enjoyed it, but I think the games are better suited to psp. I got the GOW collection b/c I never played them on PS2, and so far, I don't see the big fuss. It just seems like these games are hack n' slash, puzzles, and quick-time events. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with that, I just personally am not enjoying it all that much on the PS3. I think those kind of games are better suited for PSP. Again, this is all my OPINION, I'm sure the game will be a huge hit and people will like it a lot, I just don't think I'll be one of them.
I played the first one and it was a very good game, but I dunno. Just not terribly hyped about the new one. I guess I'm getting more interested inother genres these days.
No, you are not. My hype for this game is 0, like my hype with Bayonetta, Darksiders and Dante's Inferno. I think that Button Mashers are too shallow...
Right now I'm too hyped about BFBC2 to even care about GOW III but I will eventually get it. I may use this weekend to play through the GOW collection to peak my interest.
wow thats alot more people then i origianally fathomed. I'm hyped about it just finished GOW 1 of the collection now working on two. already i cant wait for 3

I feel exactly the same way, GoW:CoO was great. i had huge fun with it but GoW1 and 2 just didn't click for me.
Your not alone, I will end up getting it sometime, but its not day 1 for me.

Yeah, it's just doesn't really feel as a 'must have' for me like most Exclusives.

Bayonetta is not a button masher, go play the game and try to mindlessly smash buttons and youll die every 10 feet.

ok, I will remake my sentence:
No, you are not. My hype for this game is 0, like my hype with Bayonetta, Darksiders and Dante's Inferno. I think that "games that you press buttons many times and on differents combination to kill many enemies during the entire game"are too shallow...

That's the majority of games since the beginning of the industry.

I'm hyped. Never played on PS2. Was never a fan of the genre (never liked Devil May Cry, found Castlevania releases on PS2 lacking, not interested in Bayonetta, not interested in Dante's Inferno, etc). I bought the God of War Collection on a whim and loved both games enough to immediately pre-order GOW:III. This isn't just a "button masher". It is the KING of the beat 'em up genre. Also good luck if you think you can "button mash" on anything but easy difficulty. You need to use all actions (block, evade, magic) to beat the game even on normal difficulty. Nevermind the puzzling elements scattered across the levels. I did like the 1st quite a bit more than the 2nd so had some concerns that the 3rd would devolve further away (particularly with the story getting more nonsensical). But with the resources of being on the PS3 this game could be a GOTY candidate if true to form (the clips of this game are unbelievably exciting for anyone that enjoyed the 1st two games).
First game: brilliant. Second game: Crap. Don't see how the third one could lift the series back to what it was (a well made hack n slash with an actual plot), so no, not interested. I'm sorry, but when I've wasted almost 10 hours of my life with a game that gets a plot during the last 30 minutes and then kicks me in the face with a cliffhanger I tend to get a little angry with the developers :roll:

My god can't I have my opinion?:cry:

No you can't , you must bow down to GOW III.......... meh. Hack and Slash is kinda meh, GOW is the only that I would consider.
If you haven't played and beaten GOW and GOW2 then I can understand why alot of people would have alittle to zero interest in the 3rd installment... I on the other hand have played and beaten both multiple times and can't wait to get my hands on GOW3... To those that haven't played and beaten either or don't plan on playing this one, IMO are missing out on a truely great exclusive... GOW really is the King of the Hack and Slash genre...

[QUOTE="Twilight73"]Seriously, i just don't feel excited by the game at all and im thinking about skipping it in march for GTA:EILC. Am i the only one who just doesn't feel excited what so ever about it coming out? im more of a Heavy Rain/FFXIII/GTA guy than a GoW/DI guy. I guess i always preferred DMC/Bayonetta gameplay over GoW's. I agree with you there. I've played the collection and it's combat style just isn't for me. I mean, it'll still probably be a very good representation of the Action-gaming genre in general, but sometimes, no matter how praised something is, it just doesn't click with people who aren't overly enthusiastic about that sort of thing.
Im going to be honest here and say that Im not a fan of the genre and haven't owned a copy of any God of War game, if a demo's is released maybe it may have something that could pull me into it but as of now everything I see from gameplay footage I have a hard time figuring out why its considered "better" than any other game in the same genre and the same goes for every game in that genre. Maybe I shouldn't have posted anything but I don't its a topic on a forum on a game/genre that Im on the fence about so why not.
I don't have any hype for GOW3 either. Honestly, the game is going to be the same as the others with better graphics and new animations for killing something. That doesn't mean its not going to be a good game, it just means I feel like I have a good idea what the 3rd one is going to be like, and I feel like I've already experienced that type of game enough to not go through it all over again.
I haven't played any GOW games....so..no I'm not really holding my breath for it.
Looked at a couple of trailers for it though...doesn't look like anything special.

You should try them. GOW is a great series and arguably the best action game out there. I'm excited for GOW III, can't wait! Going to go get me a GOW Slurpee right now :)
I recently bought and played the first two GoW games for the first time, and honestly, I don't see what the big deal is. They're definitely fun, but I don't understand the insane praise surrounding them. I'll get GoW III, but I'm not peeing myself over it. They're good games, but I wouldn't call them any more than that. There are much more exciting games coming out this year.
GoWII had only slightly improved graphics a few new more animations, but its gameplay was basically the same and the plot.. could've been improved.
I probably will buy GoWIII on launch week but I'm getting a feeling it's not going to satisfy me plot wise and new gameplay improvements. As well this is the reason why I'm not getting on the hype train.
Also I just want to say standards in games have changed from then to now; GoW did raise the bar but because more games now a day have reached and may even have surpassed that level makes "III" looking outdated.. or should I say dated
I will buy God of war 3 simply because after beating GoW1 and 2, I have enjoyed these games immensly and since I am a fan of Greek mythology, I certainly enjoy the universe despite not being accurate. I will be buying God of war 3 first day.
No, you are not. My hype for this game is 0, like my hype with Bayonetta, Darksiders and Dante's Inferno. I think that Button Mashers are too shallow...

lol @ Your research skills. Your pre-assumptions are as good as most gamers' though! Anyway, my hype for God of War 3 is just like my hype for broken bones. I don't look forward to ever seeing it.

My god can't I have my opinion?:cry:

You're free to have "an opinion", but if the justification/logic behind it isn't valid or filled with contradiction, it's going to be called out and discredited on Gamespot. For example, if I just went ahead and blindly said Street Fighter sucks and that's that because it's my opinion, I would WANT you guys to call me out on an opinion with no real backing. That is, if I already didn't admit that my mind isn't expansive enough to appreciate the game/genre.
Im excited for GOWIII. I enjoyed the first two very much. Sadly though I won't be getting around to it in till after I complete FFXIII which could take awhile.
I don't really care for God of War. The games did nothing for me when I played them. I also can't stand Kratos. I think I just don't like angry men in my video games.

I've never been so annoyed at a main character within a 5 minute time frame before Kratos came into the picture. It's not even a "persona" thing, his personality just bugs the crap out of me. Top that off with gameplay choices like Quick Time Events being essential and we have a good reason for me to disregard this game from ever hitting my wishlist.
