GOWIII deserved a 9 as much as ODST did.

[QUOTE="peanutbudduh"]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.standarddamage

We'll be sure to play the game first before passing judgements. You'vealready admitted toto 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.

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.

SilentlyMad

Alan wake must be a rip off then :roll:

GOW3 has challenge maps, Arena mode, Trophies, collectibles AND four difficulty levels, if that isn't alot of content then I don't know what it is.

Also, not all games are meant to be played online.

It can certainly be criticized for not offering enough content to justify a full $60 price tag.peanutbudduh

Same argument can be made against ODST. Short campaign and the same maps from Halo 3? Doesn't sound like $60 material to me.

[QUOTE="lundy86_4"]

[QUOTE="peanutbudduh"] ...because cows said ODST didn't deserve a 9(which I agree), so I'm saying GOWIII doesn't deserve a 9 either for the same reasons. Double standards.peanutbudduh

Again, not 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?

So who determines what content is enough content? Something like that is not universal, and cannot be measured, as people have differing expectations. GOWIII offers the same content as most other hack and slash games, so why would it be compared to an FPS game? The comparison makes little to no sense.

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.

Fair enough man, but I suggest you try the game yourself and not be swayed by other fanboys that have never even played the game. Every gamer this gen should try GOW3 at least once. It's an experience not to be missed.

Of course difficulty level adds game length. Doesn't add story length, but it makes the game much more challenging, and therefore a lengthier ordeal.

Trophies adding game length depends entirely on whether or not people are trophy ******, which most probably aren't, so it can't be said that it adds game length.

" Thats an absolutely ridiculous reason to bash a game. "Buh buh buh they trolled first!" :cry: Makes you look worse than them."

It's called being fair about it and I am. It shouldn't go without mention you know.

EDIT: Yeah so anyway, both games got a 9 and if those games had different names they would definitely NOT receive such high ratings. I think we can both agree on that.

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

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

peanutbudduh

Most gamers and professinal reviewers would disagree with your opinion.

Every opinion can be biased. For instance, you're a Halo fanboy, so you immediately bust one out every time you catch a whiff of a "new" Halo game. The fact remains that ODST came with another games MP, one that most people would have already bought and played if they were interested in Halo at all.

GOW III is pretty awesome, but you wouldn't know because you only played the demo. I've played Halo 3's MP, so I can actually make a judgement on ODST's MP, because it's the same thing.

TintedEyes

ODST was like a 40 dollar game. (leats thats what it shoudl have been.)

[QUOTE="lundy86_4"]

[QUOTE="SilentlyMad"]Oh just stop. Your saying trophies difficulty levels and the other add game length?? Also Yes if AW is only 8-9 hours then no way I would pay $60 for it.SilentlyMad

Trophies adding game length depends entirely on whether or not people are trophy ******, which most probably aren't, so it can't be said that it adds game length.

I didn't mean playing through on differing levels, I just meant even one playthrough on hard would be longer than on easy, due to the added challenge. Again, like I said though, it doesn't add significant length to the story, as the added length is simply skin-deep (ie, die more, takes longer).

[QUOTE="alextherussian"][QUOTE="peanutbudduh"]

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...

Splinter Cell, and Gears of War are different genres. Since when did games in GOW's genre have co-op or online? I can't think of any at the moment.

I agree, ODST might be a little thin, but it had more content then GOW 3

It had a arguebly better story, with a nice noire artstyle.

It had more replayabillity, with different difficulties, meta score, different skulls and made the game more fun.

You could also play it with 4 people in co-op.

It had a theatre mode which made it possible for you to share videos and pictures with the entire community without needing a card for something.

It had a survival mode with different settings and alot of maps that you could play in split screen co-op or online.

It also included the full halo 3 multiplayer package and a halo reach beta.

So what makes GOW 3 so much better then this then the better graphics and maybe story if that's what you prefer.

[QUOTE="SilentlyMad"][QUOTE="ermacness"]how in the world could've you added some type of online or co-op to a game like GOW? Especially a co-op with a story like that?

KratosTwin

I wish so very much the SP games were more focused. My favorite games are SP games. So I agree not every game needs it but when the SP is only 8-9 hours and that is all you get then yes they need more. That is around $7.50 a hour of game play.

I really do not care that much but now just responding to replies. I am just saying 8-9 and that is all you get sucks.

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]peanutbudduh

No. We don't all agree on that and your opinion can't be taken seriously since you haven't even played GOW3 yet. I'm beginning to see that others are right. You are nothing but trolling at the moment.

...because I am comparing facts. peanutbudduh

Facts? This whole thread's been based on opinion, right down to the title. The scores these game deserved are completely opinion-based, so my question to you, again, is why not make it an educated opinion and wait until you've actually played the game?

The game is more like 13-14 hours. Anyone that gets through in 8-9 hours either has cheat codes on, or they're speed running the game. Super Mario 64 can be speed runned in 1 hr. Does that make it an hr long game? No. Besides, you can put the game on hard mode. PS, where were these length concerns when Bayonetta released. You seemed to have nothing but praise for the game.....

Don't waste your time. Even when he plays the game he will force himself to hate it just to justify this ridiculous thread.
