God of War 3 is dissapointing

You know, going by footage and images, GOW3 looked really good...an obvious improvement. But Now that i've beaten the game i'm left with a bad taste in my mouth.

While SM did wonders with SCALE and the overall SIZE of things, gameplay and story-wise..GOW3 was nothing special...like it was rushed and simply made for those 2 first reasons, like some tech demo.

Animations seem so dated i was expected realism and weight to the character, but this is just a recycled PS2 animations for the most part. Add the clipping issues and the fact that he moves like his moon walking.

The story simply got..well, boring...dragging on, it's hard to explain...it's like SM kept throwing enemy after enemy to make up for the lack of better story telling and then make up for it with a LARGE boss, didn't feel as satisfying as GOW2, IMO.

While graphics looked good, i don't see where everyone gets the whole GRAPHICS king from..the only GOOD looking thing is Kratos's model, the rest is a lot of unrealistic plastic shine. Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2 look better.

I'm scratching my head wondering how HIP HOP gamer actually said GOW3 looks like a PS4 title. while having the nerve to call the review opinions of IGN and Gamespot idiotic. Funny stuff.

Anyways, that's my opinion....thoughts?

I only got to the weird Guitar Hero part. My brother beat it and says it goes WAY down hill from there and nothing comes close to the first level which is disappointing. Idk maybe hes wrong but he told me that like you just jump around on boxes in incredibly lame boring environments. Ill have to beat it to confirm but if true than that really sucks

Before I even think about disecting this entire post ... can we see your PSN ID. I'd rather not waste my time before I at least see proof that you've played the game.

i disagree with you

i absolutely enjoyed myself while i was playing the game, my jaw even dropped when i faced chronos

So does this mean the rest of the game is as dull as the demo was?

Only problem I have with the game is that its button mashing. If the combat had more depth it would have more replay ability, but it doesn't. it's very mindless.

A part from that though really I disagree with the rest of your complaints. Especially the one about the first stage being is the best. All the fights are well done. The Hercules fight is equally as epic if not more so than battling poseidon.

Opinions are like **** everyone's got one, unfortunately alot of them stink

I don't know based off of your trophies it looks like you're not even halfway through the game, so not sure where all the story hate is coming from ... this whole rant seems premature considering you still have a lot to go.

I suppose you haven't synced your trophies?

I'm about 1/2 way through, and I like what I'm playing so far. Hack n slash games are never strong story wise, so I'm not expecting much on that end.

My problem with the game is that it restricts you from what you actually experience.

Remember gazing into the Pit of Tarturus? You can only look at it. It's like "remember Billy, look with your eyes, not with your hands." You don't actually get to wonder or explore inside of it, excluding the scripted Cronos battle. I was also disappointed with the labyrinth. The labyrinth consisted of, maybe 40 - 60 blocks and you barely experience a 10th of it. Those 2 areas alone should've been fleshed out more than they are. This is excluding Hades' Palace, Poiseidon's palace, the City of Olympia, and Hera's Garden. A lot of the levels should've been wider than they currently are now.

The biggest issue is near the end of the game:

[spoiler] Hades, Hermes, Helios, and Hera are dead. The world is in armageddon and swallowed in chaos. Souls fly among the skies, waters swallow the earth, and storms, tornadoes, and hurricanes attack and engulf the planet. You DO NOT get to physically experience any of that. You do not get to explore in it or even fight in it. The storm-ridden skies alone would've made for a better setting for the battle against Zeus. Instead, you have to "find" yourself (That part was fine, but the setting for the final battle should have been better). [/spoiler]

To be honest, I did not find the first level to be all that special. I actually found it annoying.

Admiral_White is my PSN by the way. I already platinumed it.

I guess i should use this :P next time.

Give it up lems. The game was a huge success, one of the best games of the gen, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. This game just amazed me to no end.

So if i want a button-mashing game Dantes Inferno is more fun ?

100% agree

Ok I am a HUGE GOW fan but I disagree with your post TC.

Although yes there isn't much depth to the game, it's still the most respected action series out there with GOW3 upping the ante with some jaw dropping sequences. BUT what I really wanted to see was some more story and some actual depth in the game, like customization or some open environments. SM could have opened up a bit. And last but not least, even though I very much enjoyed the game, I feel it was shorter than first GOW games but for some reason I think GOW3 is my favorite from the three. Last thing I have to say is the ending, it left me wanting more, it was dissapointing actually. But overall it is one of the best games this generation and you can't argue with that.

Where are all the users with GOW avatars/icons? Weird, if you want to have a laugh. Read all of their posts as if Kratos was saying it. mtmatt

He does indeed kill himself. Are you trying to tell me that it was intentional?

there waa a farmer who had a dog and B-I-N-G-O was his name-o.

It's by far the best game in the series so far. They took everything that made GoW 1 and 2 great, and they basically perfected everything. The epicness, graphics, combat, pacing, boss fights, UGH! GoW III is about as close to perfect as you can get. I also thought the story was improved over GoW II's story, and the ending was one of the best I have ever seen in a game.

Give it up lems. The game was a huge success, one of the best games of the gen, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. This game just amazed me to no end.

I'm going to murder whoever just spoiled the ending.

Rather, whoever spoiled it earlier in the thread.
