God of War 3 -- How did this game get a 9.0?

Seriously, after playing this game, it deserves atleast a 9.5. This game was utter and complete perfection. Everything about this game was high caliber. The graphics, the presentation, the voice acting, the sound, the story...this game was just top notch. I just finished beating the game and I'm still foaming at the mouth from the sheer awesomeness I just experienced. And it's borderline insulting to give this game the same score as Bayonetta! (Awaits Bayonetta lovers :P )

Seriously though, this game is definitely my top runner for GOTY 2010. had it come out last year, I would vote for this game 100x over Uncharted 2 and Demon's Souls for GOTY. What were your thoughts about the game?

P.S. GoW3 is better than Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden 2, Dante's Inferno, DMC4, and Halo 3! And it has better graphics than Crysis! You know I had to add in Halo 3 and Crysis or this wouldn't be a proper SW topic :P

The ending.

You just lost all credibilty in this topic by saying that.

Honstly it deserves an 8.5 imo. I played GoW2 and then GoW3 back to back and I didn't see anything in the game that made it AAA caliber so long after GoW2 achieved that score. It's a great game and I enjoyed it but it's not much different from GoW2 overall.

ME2 and GOW3 both deserve 9.5 IMO.

Games need more depth to score higher.RABicle

No they don't. In fact, games in general don't need a huge amount of depth in order to be good.

Yeah, thats the way i feel about Mass Effect 2!

II_Seraphim_II I don't care about the other games, but you watch your heathen tongue when you speak about Bayonetta or that oven cooked PS3 of yours will explode DAMN YOU

Anyway personally? combats still not as good as some of the other games in the genre, it plays it a bit safe to the formula, the scorpion sucks monkey ass, flying segments were corny, first half of the story isn't very strong, and 2 of the alternate weapons while "good" are too similar to the blades of exile. Are they massive complaints? no clearly it's mostly some nitpicking with some solid flaws, that have a remedy to them(for instance an ending i enjoyed makes up for the overall weak plot, and the game being so polished, well paced, well designed made the action thrilling).

It's a great game, but for my own tastes it's not a 9.5. I also don't think it's insulting Bayonetta scored the same. Bayonetta is a great game and deserved to be looked as an equal in quality. Both have a different playsty-le to them. But hey I'll let everyone else argue it out.

I think GOW played it a bit too safe with the combat mechanics, and puzzle stuff. I have lost count of people who have said that they feel that it is too similar to the previous iterations.

Because beat em ups are never going to get more than 9. Games need more depth to score higher.RABicle

WTH are you talking about? GOW3 was dissapointing...nothing but a tech demo for pretty graphics, both STORY and gameplay are pathetic, especially gameplay, they didn't even bother to improve animations, but recycle them from the past games. Some levels nearly bored me to tears and just done with little effort. While a few boss battles were awesome, the game IMO was indeed rushed and needed another year in dev. 8.5 is what it should have got. soapandbubbles

I'd agree with everything except the voice acting. I found it almost cringe worthy to be honest. There's no denying the amount of polish GOW3 has, which is to be expected after playing GOW1 and 2, but I personally think they played it safe. In my opinion it plays identical to it's predecessors, which isn't always a bad thing. And it seems they overloaded it with gore just for the sake of it. It's a pretty mindless game, but what saves it is it's stunning set peices. Not my personal game of the year, but a pretty awesome game none the less.

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"]

II_Seraphim_II

not a huge difference for me personally in 9 or 9.5/10.

GOW3 is a great game and AAA material, nothing more nothing less.

9/10 is a perfect score that I agree with.

II_Seraphim_II

I've got to agree with you Seraphim. Even though the story definetely isn't as compelling as the first; its as if the developers literally took everything that made GoW1 & 2 amazing; and absolutely solidified and perfected it to the most pristine level known to man. Absolutely jaw dropping. A visceral beauty is God of war; and the premiere hack n slash game deserves more than a 9.0. In my opinion ofcourse.

It should have gotten an 8. Short, linear game that brings nothing new to the table except for upgraded graphics that come, once again, at the expense of expansive, interactive environments.

The fact that the battle system is the best in the genre; aswell as the production value and 'upgraded graphics' which are some of the best this generation alone destroy your statement.

Linear game? What did you expect, open world GoW? Please.

Ninja Gaiden and Bayonetta have better combat.

Yeah I was really hoping a first part sony developer would be able to unleash some of teh PS3's untaaped power and give us destructible and interactive environments that you could use against your enemies.

The game would then have actually been epic.As it is its a solid a fun hack 'n slash.Nothing more.

How did this game get a 9.0?

II_Seraphim_II

Easy peasy - Sony's GS ad campaign check cleared. There's your answer.

It had a bunch of glitches in my experience, and the last boss was meh, so it gets an 8.5 in my book.

[spoiler] Because Pandora was such a silly plot device. [/spoiler] .

it actually has a very limited and casualized battle system. Especially in comparison to games like DMC, NG, and Bayonetta.

however, it is one of the first titles in the genre that doesn't have a ridiculously steep learning curve in order to appeal to a wider audience, so that could be seen as a plus by many casuals who are otherwise turned off by technicality.
