GOWIII deserved a 9 as much as ODST did.

Neither games deserved that score but I would even say that maybe ODST deserved it a little bit more. ODST had its own multiplayer game mode, it came with Halo 3 mp with all the mappacks and it came with a Halo Reach beta invitation. So it has way more content than GOWIII does. GOWIII has a linear 8 hour long hack n' slash campaign mode so why does that game deserve the score? With very little replay value, it really is nothing more than just a rental. Seriously a 9 for a game like GOWIII in today's standards? What is this, I don't even...

its definitely just a rental

HOW ABOUT COMPARING A FPS TO A FPS THE ACTION ADVENTURE GENRE HAS DIFFERENT STANDARDS TO THE FPS GENRE.

Oh hey caps, but I don't feel like writing that over so yea!

ODST at its core is like a 4 hour campaign isn't it? All the other stuff is based around OTHER games, not ODST itself. 110million

GoW3 is more in the 8.5 range. ODST is more of a 10+.

GoW3 is fun, but it's not AAA stuff.

What a joke. you probably haven't even played GOW3. There are many games that don't deserve a 9.0 on Gamespot and GOW3 isn't one of them. ODST is a different type of game all together but GOW3 is just on a whole other level of quality and epicness.

God of War III is just amazing. The story was a little, absent, but who cares when the rest of the game is just so well done. Truly amazing how well that game turned out.

I suggest you play GOW3 full retail version completely first before making baseless fanboy comments. ODST is last gen in comparison as far as quality goes.

If I even tried to understand how someone could garner an opinion like this, I think my head would explode scanners style.

God of War 3 has a MASSIVE scale, amazing graphics, mostly great voice acting, Arena mode, 4 difficulty levels, challenge rooms, fun but easy puzzles, trophies AND collectibles.

If thats not deserving of a 9 and alot of content then I don't know what it is.

So basically you just helped prove that your opinion that "GOW3 is not AAA quality" since Gamespot gave it a 9 = AAA and it's a 93 on meta. You're losing your touch buddy.

I kind of agree. I own both ODST and God of War III. ODST is a 7 hour romp full of the same familliar shooting action we've seen in the series before bundled with firefight and Halo 3's multiplayer mode. God of War III is a 9 hour romp full of the same familliar hack n' slash action we've seen in the series before with no additional modes. I'm not saying ODST is the better game, but you're defnitely right, neither deserve 9.0s. To be honest, God of War III isn't even that great. There's two, only TWO titan segments in the entire game. Kind of lame when you consider how much they were boasted about. The rest of the game is just the same old hack n' slash action you've seen before. Honestly, its almost identical to previous entries, and I think God of War 2 may have even been the better game. Still afun playthrough,but far from deserving a 9.

Okay. let's use Gamespot only. You said GOW3 is not AAA quality. Gamespot disagrees with you.

2 completely different genres, so how can you draw conclusions from that.

They both offer different styles of play.

Is GoW really only 8-9 hours?? That kinda seems a rip off for a SP only game that short. You would think with such a short SP they could add some online to extend the life of the game some. Heck you can not even play it as co-op.

[QUOTE="KratosTwin"]

[QUOTE="peanutbudduh"] Nice arguments you got there. Still nothing.peanutbudduh

Wrong. I hope Reach meets that sort of quality. You will never see me starting baseless fanboy threads like this one you started.

For people that play on "easy" or "normal" probably. But it's the amazing experience and epic quality of those hours that matter. GOW3 has solid replayability.

Again, not really double standards because of differing genres. One genre offers things the other never has. As an example, most FPS games offer some kind of multiplayer, whereas very few, if any hack and slash games have ever offered multiplayer. Therefore a hack and slash cannot be criticized for not offering multiplayer... Catch my drift?

Your comment was so asinine that facpalming was the only sane thing to do.

Anyway, I disagree TC. ODST felt TOO familiar to warrent a 9, IMO. God Of War III was somwhat familiar, but still changed a few things around to make it feel like a new experience.

I'm sure when Reach scores a 9.5, you'll be the first to make a thread about how it doesn't deserve it and how overrated it is.peanutbudduh

We'll be sure to play the game first before passing judgements. You'vealready admitted to basing your argument on the demo, which killed any argument you could come with after that point. The demo is nothing compared to the game itself.

no way GOW3 deserves less then a 9/10

and the only way i would give ODST a 9 is if they made the price lower cuz it is an expansion but they didnt so yea ODST should of got a 8 or 8.5at most
