God of War 3 is so unaprecciated :( !

I mean come on, I think it must be the most epic game ever, the set peices are amazing, for example the opening scene, pandoras box and the Cronos Battle, and during these fights, theres is no technical issues whatsoever ! It has great orchestral music that really gets you in the mood for revenge and a superb story that has a great ending.

So why all the hate ? Why is everyone all like oh mah gawd, dus gaem has lyk no story ! Dus game is nod as gud as Da first one ! Dus gamez com bat is far to easy !

I think gamers are spoiled these days....

The ending is far from good and a poor way to end such an epic trilogy.

I think this is the reason:

I got really bored playing it after two hours. It was two much of the same thing but less thrilling as GoW1,2 (especially 2). Plus it didn't help that I played Bayonetta before hand.

To me it wasn't a bad game until they started shoving crappy puzzles in my face.

not really.

one of the more overpraised games here. I definitely can't count all the posts that say 'oh, it's epic, that's why it's so much better than X game'

wow, great. thanks for the explanation:|

there's many better examples of underappreciated games, and GOW3 is definitely not one of them.

I'd like to know your opinion about Sengoku Basara 3... I'd like to see what such an elitist as you have to say about that game (I'm interested on it)

It was truly one of the best games this gen. It's GoW? Why would you care about the story? Its legendary for it's EPIC scenes, brutal combat, and great gameplay. Not the story.hexashadow13

epically overused adjective in this case.

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"] Its a stupid game, plain and simple. The story of the third was violence violence violence...thats it. The first game is not the sharpest tool int he shed but it least it tried to tell a story with real substance.HelloMoto56

look, it's "Castlevania will DESTROY God of War 3" again...

:lol:

overall, I think it was rather pretentious though, in retrospective. it relied too much on violence and mediocre blood effects to hide its overall shallow gameplay.

it's a solid 8 for being a very short game with no multiplayer and little reason to come back

are you ever going to cease with your damage control? and you wonder why people continuously accuse you of being a fanboy.

Seriously? Any recommendation threads(that gets locked anyway) always recommend GOW3... It's almost habit now to include it as one of the greatest games on the console.

Ah, I'm elitist? I don't try to come across that way, anyways I'll send you the post over a PM so this doesn't go OT.

I think you are on the wrong site TC. The game gets nothing but praise and hype on this site, especially about the graphics and "scale"navyguy21

There has been far smarter revenge stories in gaming.....like The Darkness. GOW ended up being a dumb revenge story with violence for the sake of violence. The "betrayal" just means more big guys to kill.texasgoldrush

so i'm taking this as a "no" to my former question? because people have critiqued your opinion to the point of absurdity many times before, and it seems you continue to berate anyone who likes God of War 3. just accept that it's a game worthy of it's acclaim and move on. or don't. only difference is, with the latter you'd just be wasting your own time, considering you aren't going to change anyone's opinion.

It was my first GoW game and I was highly disappointed. Sub-par combat mixed with terrible puzzlesin a game where you follow such a linear path that you can't even move your camera. The set pieces were cool, too bad they were so few, and the opening sequence is the game's most epic moment. The final boss is terribly lame as well, and the ending was just awful. Despite all this, I did enjoy the game for what it was, but its no more than a 7.5 in my opinion, and thats being generous. So far I'm enjoying Castlevania: Lords of Shadow much more.

did you hear about the pot that called the kettle black?

God Of War 3 and Uncharted 2 could have used harder puzzles. and by that, i mean much, much harder puzzles. that's the biggest letdown for me in these two games. puzzles in Uncharted 2 and GoW3 were powerfully stupid.

Sony is to blame for God Of War 3. i remember Stig, the game director, saying they had to cut alot of things to meet the deadline. one being a three-way fight between Kratos, Zeus, and Gaia. Kratos and Zeus fighting each other while they're on a moving Gaia, while Gaia is trying to destroy both of them. i think the 'Titan technology' was so much underused. we only had 2 scenes where we fully interacted with titans. the opening fight, and one boss fight. i also missed the wide, epic vistas that's present in the previous God Of Wars. i remember in GoW2 when Kratos went to the island with giant horses on chains and when Kratos walked on the giant chains the camera zoomed out to reveal Kratos as a tiny pixel walking through a giant structure.

although, i must say, there are probably more epic moments in GoW3 than the other GoWs. the opening fight was so sick, totally blew me away. the platforming sequence against one of the gods could have been longer, though (i love me some platforming). and then there's the Guitar Hero-esque puzzle that was like a big wtf. also, ending fight was totally underwhelming and disappointing.

Yep, great game, in pretty much every regard. I disliked the way Kratos was portrayed in the third one, but everything else was great.

if anything ruined the game for me was that Ending....playing 3 whole games, waiting for the climax, getting revenge, and then.....make a horrible ending like that one??:x

You said it yourself. Some of us are spoiled with games that require more then "x x x, y y y, u will b sucked". :P

1: 9 Hour long game 2: No emotional impact in the story what-so-ever. Why should I care about Pandora? Why didn't they use more of Kratos' family instead? 3: Story that could have been solved in 10 minutes. Flame kills all who touch it? Throw Zeus into the flame! Why does he need to get Pandora anyways? 4: Final boss battle with a titan taken out due to time restraints. 5: Epilogue taken out due to time restraints. 6: The puzzle with the Playstation symbols rips you out from the experience. 7: Puzzles don't come often enough, and not integrated well into the combat 7: Story strays off from what Corey Barlog and David Jaffe wanted to do with it. That being said, I LOVE the boss battles. The combat was improved greatly, and now I prefer the combat over any other GOW game. Graphics were incredible, and the environments were alright.jman1553

What you did there...... I see it.

you mean overappreciated. I agree with the GS score. but not the general opinion of this forum, which tries to make it like a perfect game.funsohng

I freaking LOVE God of War III. One of my favourites from this gen. Beat it on Chaos Mode the other day 'cause I'm gangster like that.

The ending is far from good and a poor way to end such an epic trilogy.

GreenGoblin2099

This. Plus it was shorter then both GoW1 and 2 yet it had tons of bosses, puzzles and other stuff like Icarus vents so there wasn't enough regular gameplay and there weren't many enemy types either.

I still think think its an awesome game, justwith alot of wasted potential.

And I liked the first game.

I love God of War more than any game in it's genre. Way better. The gore is so well done and the game is rewarding as well. Brilliant game and series can't wait till Ghost of Sparta

I hated the game :P

Just thought this was the right thread to put that comment

Sadly I haven't played DMC3 and I prefer it more than Gaiden though that's a close second
