i don't get how people want another hack-n-slash game?

If they play very well, they can entertain you for years.

I consider Ninja Gaiden Black to be the holy grail of the genre.... **** why am I saying consider, it is the holy grail of the genre. I've gotten hundreds of hours out of it over the years and just talking about it makes me want to play it again right now.

When this genre is at its best, it's extremely satisfying and addictive and I'm always down for more of that.

Thing is, GoW just doesn't deliver on that level. It's more of a one off game. You take in the spectacle, enjoy it for what it is, but it's not something you replay over and over again for years to come. The gameplay just isn't there.

So yeah, as for the topic, nah not really. GoW is a good excuse for Sony to show off their top of the line production values and that's about it.

Nailed it. I agree on Ninja Gaiden Black. That game is like Raiders of the Lost ark to me. It is the game to which others in its genre are measured by. Gameplay GoW was never in it's league. Square, square, triangle can get you through 95% of the game. Its not even on NG2 gameplay wise. But spectacle, lore, and enjoyment are there in GoW. It was a really fun series. But how much further can it go? Let it die now.

the only hack n' slash game that i ever played was GOW2, so fair enough. it's like, keep hitting enemies with the same combo, break chests, collect orbs, repeat.

You can play Ninja Gaiden Sigma on PS3 but it has been dumbed down a bit imo. Ninja Gaiden Black on the Original Xbox is absolutely incredible and difficult as all hell. Combat and combos must be learned and timed right. Epicness.

I loved the first three to death but got tired with Ascension.

The series dies with Ascension, same as Halo with Halo 4.

Not me. Unless they actually do something to change up the formula and add some lasting appeal. The only god of War worth playing was the very first game, all the others are pretty much carbon copy rehashes that should have evolved.

Circle, Square, Square, Square...Repeat. The combat needs to be overhauled. GoW is also such a tired franchise.

Yes.

I've always felt that the characters of Greek Mythology were really arrogant, and needed to be ripped apart.

I still feel that way.

Sony understands that need, I hope.

well god of war 3 covered that part, perfectly.

Of course I am. Check the avatar. :) I just hope they put an honest effort into future entries. Ascension was disappointing to say the least.

No.

I wasn't interested in the 2nd, or 3rd games.

The psp and 4th game were okay since they were prequels but there was no point to the 2nd, and 3rd game except cash in. The first game was self contained any and all remorse or worthwhile character development was destroyed by them Kratos was no longer an anti hero but a villain and nothing changes that.

@SolidGame_basic: Santa Monica has been working on something for quite some time. It's almost certain it's a new GOW.

I'm interested btw.

Yes, but only because it's being directed by the guy who did God of War 2.

My love for the GoW franchise ended with GoW2. After that it became a poster child for milkage.

I'd be down for a reboot with a different pantheon of gods. They'd probably **** it up though and take the Batman approach to combat.

Ninja Gaiden Black can be brought from the store, it's buried in there somewhere on the 360. Awesome game.

Ninja Gaiden 2 is also great, it's just way more cheap, unfair, and unpolished lol. But the simple act of killing a mother fucker in that game is SO FUCKING GOOD. That game on path of a little bitch mode is great stress relief lol

Story wise? Yea. I feel the gods got what was coming to them, as well as the many mythical beasts.

Killing arrogant supernatural things is what God of War is all about.

As far as gameplay? Long way to go. Absolutely hate the camera and controls. Much prefer heavenly sword on PS3.
