Soooo been playin GOWIII for about an hour now...

mind = blown.....

this is in my opinion a 10/10. game doesnt break the mold, doesn't stray from the formula, but it does what its been doin for years and does it perfectly... 10/10 me'thinks.

Glad you're enjoying it! :) I wish I could afford to buy it right now. :(

Not saying the rest of the game is bad, because its definitely an amazing game the entire way through, but the first hour of that game is done so flawlessly it would have been nearly impossible to keep that kind of action up the entire game

according to many that have played it, the game gets monotonous later on and has a horrible ending, so id be cautious giving it a 10/10 before you finish it!

Yea, the fist half of the game is epic, the 2nd half not so much, they blew there wad way to early if you ask me. Gow2 is still my favorite.

Yeah GoW2 is still the best. GoW3 is great too tho. Got Platinum and imo its a solid 9.0. even 9.5 maybe.

As did I. Note that most people who didnt like the ending actually had no idea wtf it was about

You bring up a good point. There are a few instances that feel just as epic as the begining, but the start of the game is easily one of the most outstanding openings to a game ever.

Same here.... the game was great and the ending was the best it could possibly be, any other ending but that wouldn't have been as good.

Great game, but was over familiar, gameplay wise in my opinion. It felt pretty dated. I havn't played through it all though, so I can't really give a final judgement.

Maybe it is just me, but I thought fighting all of the remaining Gods (excluding the last) were much better done than the opening sequence.

yes GOW3 is a b/a game

Just wait until you get near the end. It ruins the series.

"Hope."

I thought it fell off in the middle and somewhat last part. But it was still good. Very pretty game.

And it only gets better. I love how they turned up the gore several notches.

Loved it! Loved the ending too :) [spoiler] Kept beating the **** out of Zeus only to realize it's really not necessary :lol: [/spoiler]

This game has the most gratituous violence I've ever seen. It should have been rated AO just for the amount of useless gore and blood.

I felt the violence was fine for an M rated game. The only game I've played that I think would possibly deserve an AO rating for violence is Manhunt 1

What was perfect about the first hour?

It consisted of you hitting Poseidon, then him doing one of two counter attacks, and then you doing it again a few more times until it triggered a QTE. So repetitive.

If that's perfect then I'm going to have to ask if God of War 3 is the first game you ever played?

It was the way it was scripted, the way it was paced, and the way it was presented. It was very epic and very good.

It was pretty good looking, but I don't think I'd give a 10 on presentation alone. I'd probably give it a 10 FOR presentation, but that's only one of multiple factors.

I love when people water things down to make them sound as lame as possible. " *Yawn*, all you do is go around killing Gods the whole game and sometimes there's enemies and puzzles"

I don't think a game could ever get a 10 critically. there is no possible way a game could be lauded by critics as a perfect 10. If a game is made where critics are prasing it with 10s straight across the board, then the other companies may as well give up. But, GOW being a 10? No. Sure it has nice graphics and such, but too me it looks cheesy. The ending especially (I watched the gOW3 ending) was very stupid.

Did you play all 3 of the games and still think its cheesy or did you only see the ending to 3?

Agree, was ok to play. Trying to beat it in chaos though.

[QUOTE="BPoole96"]

[QUOTE="SAGE_OF_FIRE"] I actually liked the ending.... I felt it was .... fitting. krunkfu2

As did I. Note that most people who didnt like the ending actually had no idea wtf it was about

[spoiler] He did it because he realized that the whole world should not have to suffer just because of his quest for revenge. He ultimately accomplished his goal by destroying Olympus and killing Zeus. Once he was finished with that, Kratos realizes that there is nothing left for him to do in life. His family is dead and his goal has been completed. The first line in the entire series is "The Gods of Olympus have abandoned me, now there is no hope." This comes to be ironic since Kratos ends up killing all of the Gods and he is the key to hope for all humanity. I liked the ending since it actually shows the mortal side of Kratos and that he actually has compassion for other people (at least once he's done killing everyone). [/spoiler]

God damn HTML Formatting!!!! :evil:

K well watching the isn't the same as playing them

Best in the series. The combat was actually fun, didnt use the blade of athena after i got the hades chain and never look back lol

glad to see you are enjoying the game.

Hah this sounds like argue in System wars >>> playing GoW3 :roll:

Gow3 cant be that good if you get bored after only 1 hour...

As much as i love the GOW series I have to say GOW3 truly starts in an epic way... however was expecting a better ending (both fight/cutscene)..

Wont say anything more not to spoil it for those who havent finished the game...
