Compared to GOW Ascension, that came out earlier this year

Ascension sucked balls compared to the previous GoW games.

Not sure why you're comparing two shitty games

Pic?

Neither of them appeal to me.

Didn't you hear? Ryse was made by 12y olds.

God of Wars games have always looked better than their time. I remember playing them on PS2 when their graphics blew everything else away. Can't wait to see a new one on PS4.

I never understood the hate for ascension. Me and some buddies loved the multiplayer. I love God of War period though. Game was great imo. Well TC, do you feel better? Nobody, critics included are saying Ryse is in any way better. I am going to check it out when I get an X1 next year anyway. And I applaud Cryteck for trying something different. I wish valve or bungie would try NOT making an FPS for a change. I know they have in past, but not RTS either.

@cainetao11: The campaign was the weakest, but the mp was great.

Stay jelly. :)

Please don't bring GoW down to Ryse's level.

@xboxdone74: jelly of what? The focus on spectacle over substance? The fact that it's about as shameless of a rehash sequel as the industry gets? The shitfest story?

Ryse with spells would've been magical.

@PannicAtack: Whats your beef with GOW 3?

Well, there's the deal about how it has pretty much nothing to add or innovate to the series in terms of its game design (which begs the question of why it has sequels anyway, given that the original didn't have much in the way of innovations and was essentially just a very polished spectacle action game), but the biggest problem is and will always be its abysmal story.

guys ur GIF contains some spoilers ... I didn't play the game yet, damn it.

gow 1 was a great introduction

gow 2 was a beefier version

gow 3 great pace.

stories in video games always sucked.

I agree...........Gears of War Ascension looks better.
