God of War = 94

God of War 2 = 93

God of War 3 = 92

Chains of Olympus = 91

Ghost of Sparta = 86

Ascensions = 79

 

Franchise average = 89.16

 

Before someone mentions counting the PSP installments,  This is counting all of the cannon God of War games, since they all belong to the same arch.  Even removing Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta, the average is STILL 89.5.

All scores are from the platform the game originally released on, and not counting any of the collections, re-releases, etc....(if we did, that would bring the average down further :) ) .


God of War is no longer an AAA franchise anymore.  Better luck next gen :(

Since when does a flawed aggregate like MC counts in the SW metagame? :?

Also, why not keep this in the sticky?

Oh but Metacritic doesn't count, it's Gamespot scores that matter!
*Gamespot review gets average score

Gamespot reviews don't matter, IGN reviews are the ones that count!

Okay... and what if IGN gives it a 7.0? Moving the goalpost at it's finest.

I just don't understand people's obsession with scores, like an average of 8.9 is mediocre or something for a franchise.

It's dumb, but I guess that's SW for ya.

It's sad that

1) You posted this in the sticky and no one cared, so you posted this here

2) You took the time to calculate that to make a thread about itBlabadon

1) I did not post that God of War wasnt an AAA franchise in the sticky.  

2)Its sad that someone like you considers 3rd grade math such as adding 6 numbers together, and dividing them by 6 "time consuming" :lol:

Thread derail failed :)

Halo Wars is not part of the cannon. And if we include Anniversary, then we have to include the scores from the multiple collections for God of War, which bring the score down further :)

I mentioned both of these in the OP.

Well if we are using MC now, I'm ok with Uncharted 2 being a top game OF ALL TIME, IN THE HISTORY OF VIDEO GAMES. To that fact, I'd like to thank Sony corporation with a special shout out to Ken Kutaragi  Through your hard work and dedication, you have given us a system of the ages and console of the generation. A value that only you could imagine has unfolded before our very eyes and blossomed into something very beautiful.So, you see, we took small steps to success all along that hike. Together, they added up to hundreds of thousands of small steps. But we might have chosen not to take the first step. We might have stopped at any point along the way. That would have meant that we would not have gotten to our destination. There were also obstacles along the way. But with each small step they were overcome. There were frustrations, fears and uncertainties. But with each small step they were crushed. There was hardship and danger, but with each small step and focus on the desired destination it was conquered.So you see, success is no mystery. Because, as the Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu said: A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. It takes only one small step to succeed and you have done it Ken. Bravo.  It goes without saying that a thanks is in order for Kazuo Hirai  You have taken Ken's vision and molded into something beutfitul. All the world's your stage. And all the men and women merely players: A non-doer is very often a critic-that is, someone who sits back and watches doers, and then waxes philosophically about how the doers are doing. It's easy to be a critic, but not you Kaz, no being a doer requires effort, risk, and change and you have done a nobel job. Bravo!  And last but certainly not least I'd like to thank  Jack Tretton, your loyalty, perseverance and dedication has helped Sony reach it's goals and making Sony the #1 console of choice.That is real freedom. That is being educated, and understanding how to think. The alternative is unconsciousness, the default setting, the rat race, the constant gnawing sense of having had, and lost, some infinite thing.You have dared to go where others have been scared to go Jack, Thank you and God bless Sony USA.    Thank you Sony for not dropping core and going 67% casual like MS to chase the Wii's pot of gold.  I'm still going to pick up my CE edition of Ascension on Tuesday..AWWWWWW YEAHHHHHHH!

That review is pretty ridiculous. It's really surprising that MC doesn't look into these things and check the credibility of these reviews.
