Why can't the PS3 have its sunshine glory without so many people reacting bitterly towards it?

Why can't we all embrace that we have gotten to a point in hardware technology where 4 or 5 year old Technology can look great....not just good, but great.

It seems like there's reason enough for all of us as gamers to celebrate this.....to celebrate GOD OF WAR as the 2010 Graphix King Champion.

Lets all celebrate and have a merry Christmas.

People are just angry because technically, it's not the best looking game to have come out this year. But people are taking GS awards waaaaaay too seriously, they've been a joke for a while now. :P

I find it funny when people act like GS awards and scores mean something outside of the forums.

Because graphics aren't everything and GoW3 as a game was a disappointment compared to GoW2?

Watching God of War 3 gameplay on youtube is more fun than playing Metro 2033 on my PC.

Having played both Metro 2033 at max settings and having played GOW3 I can honestly say: Metro 2033 > GOW3. FFXIII also had better graphics than GOW3 as well.

"Every year, games push the boundaries of what game hardware can do by exploring new effects, pushing more polygons, and creating a more technically impressive picture than anything we've seen previously. This category recognizes the games with the most technically impressive graphics." That's all it says actually, but it's weird that they wouldn't even put it on the Reader's Choice list. :P

Slashkice

If the award is about limitations, it should have gone to a PSP, or DS game.

but that's too limited :P maybe some wii games should have won though. Galaxy 2 and DKCR look amazing.

For me, God of War 3 was definitely one of the best looking games i played this year across all platforms. Was it the best? That boils down to opinions..

Because graphics aren't everything and GoW3 as a game was a disappointment compared to GoW2?funsohng

Agreed, its an awesome game like nothing before IF you didn't play the first 2. Compared to them its pretty weak. Graphically inconsistent and a poor narrative. But I still love it cos im a pure GOW fanboy. I love watching Kratos tear guys apart

I played the first two. GoW surpassed both in all aspects aside from the narrative. There was a great selection of weapons (though the best weapon is basically borrowed from the first GoW PSP) and tons of awesome fights (my favorite is Hercules vs Kratos, who admittedly isn't the biggest of Kratos's enemies but he's the guy I always wanted to see Kratos fight).

I loved the game, the only thing that made me even remotely angry was when I was punching Zeus at the end, I kept hammering him but then I finally found out that you need to stop for the cut scene to trigger lol

Because it's not the best looking game this year Because Kratos is terrible, the plot sucked, Pandora is a massive plot device, and the ending was too little too late to be redeeming Outside 3 boss battles(Poseidon, Hades, Hercules) the games bosses were a major let down from the stuff in God of War 2. Good game and all, but there are plenty of reasons to condemn it.

It's only one site, and in my opinion and people really shouldn't be throwing a fit just because they don't agree with a sites opinion, and it definitely won't change any results, perhaps I'm not invested into this GOTY deal as everyone else.

Do you know with enough outcry people has been changing things people thought was unchangingable for generations. Wait a min that was to deep let me take it back a notch in saying with enough support something would happen. But at this stage it really shouldn't, I think people should just enjoy the game and not go off into the deep end if certain things dont get awards, everyone know GOW3 is a kick@ss game that should be enough.

See my sig, I'm a huge GOW fan, and this game disappointed me severely. Corey Barlog should have stayed with the game. His ending was pretty good, and Jaffe's was even better.

1: If the flame of Olympus kills all who touch it, why can't Kratos just throw Zeus into the flame? Why does he need Pandora?

2: The story was severely lacking. Why should Pandora be the main focus? What about Kratos's family. They're dead, so they should be in Hades. Visiting them could give the game at least some sort of emotional impact.

3: The cuts made from the game are the things I like least of all.

-Giant Cyclops boss battle in Hades.

-Argus boss battle

-Ixiom puzzle sequence

-The final boss battle that would have made the game ten times more epic. The three way battle between Kratos, Zeus, and Gaia.

-The friggin epilogue sequence! This would have tied all the loose ends, and concluded the trilogy. Instead we got a messy, rushed ending that felt lame.

Had the game been given a few more months time, all of these features would have made it in. This is why it disappoints me.

I was disappointed with it, overall. It did't really have that charm part 2 did (never played 1). Also I thought that Kratos had an egg head in some of the cutscenes, which kind of though me off

I haven't played GOW3, but I have played GOW1/2 and I don't get why some people put this series on a pedestral. The gameplay (the combat)is unbelievably shallow and pedestrian for a series that gets heaped with praise. It just starts to feel so montonous, unlike Bayonetta, which allows you to mix things up if you want to. It's pretty much impossible to play God of War in any dynamic way IMO.

GoW3 looks amazing, plays amazing, and is presented in an amazing way.

Frankly after MGS4 beating out Crysis Warhead 2 years ago there's really not much to be mad about. The whole catagory has been a laughing stock for a while now.

Crysis? A generic shooter that's praised only for its graphics? Puh-lease.
Even putting Crysis in the same sentence as MGS4 is blasphemy on MGS. Crysis, what a joke. PC elitists should really look whats WRONG with the platform, namely that pretty graphics have become more important than good gameplay or an actual story.

God of War 3 is a fantastic game, so far its the only PS3 game that I have gotten the Platinum trophy for.
