[QUOTE="bowserjr123"][QUOTE="brofists"] I have played all the DMC games, and I enjoyed combat encounters infintently more in God of War Like I said the combat is easy to use, but rewarding to master. There is depth to the combat in God of War 3 It all depends on how you play and how much time you want to put in it There are people who evade, roll, counter and bust out spectacular combos, and its all via their inputs Then you get some who dont know how to play who just want to mash buttons and do so on the easier difficulties. Their inabilites doesn't represent the combo system! Just because they can mash buttons doesn't mean its a button masher. This notion needs to stop. God of War was designed to be easy to use yet satasfying to master etc. Devil May Cry and Bonayetta are just hard haha. I much prefer God of War's great balance and smooth visceral combat! And you know what too, truth is, if you wanted to, you could mash buttons through most other hack and slash games etc Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjTG5LpaG3o And then tell me you still feel the same way Look how fluid the combo system is. How responsive it all is. All the sick moves he is busting out. The visceral nature of it all God of War 3 was an amazing COMPLETE game. It also had the best hack and slash gameplay in the biz IMObrofists
I haven't played God of War 3 so I can't comment on that either but I played the game on normal and have gotten away pressing the same button repeatedly and getting through hordes of enemies so I would call it a button masher.
DMC 3, on the other hand, didn't allow this and you would get your a$$ handed to you if you attempted that on normal, which is one of the reasons why I liked that game so much. It's hard because it forces you to actually dodge enemy attacks and not just mash buttons.
And after seeing that video, yeah it looks cool and all and it's not easy to pull off, but is it really necessary? You could get away with pulling off much shorter combos.
No it PLAYS just as good as it looks! Anyway, You completely missed the point *sigh* It flew right over your head and you didnt respond to a thing I said. I dont want to have to keep repeating myself for you. I will break it down as simple as I can for you one last time my friend:) In God of War 3 you GET beat down if you attempt to buttom mash on the harder difficulties You NEED to use tactics. You need to avade and counter etc People who have been able to buttom mash through the game , were able to do so because they didnt get deep into the depth of the combo system The point of God of War is thats its easy to pick up and play, thats just the simplified way of playing it on easier difficulties BUT at the same time it has depth and is very rewarding to master People who put the time in WILL be countering, evading, and busting out spectacular combos like a boss in God of War 3 And thats when the gameplay in God of War really starts to shine through. The more you play it, the more it shines etc p.s The logic in your last sentance was baffling So let me get this stright, Now the combos in God of War 3 are too deep and too intricate and thus are not necessary Well wasnt that your complaint in the first place? That it was too shallow? Now that I displayed video evidenece destroying that often cited myth All the sudden you change your tune to combos like that are not necessary LOL you are the definition of a hater. Cmon now! Stop it:) That video did more them enough to prove the POINT that there is a lot more depth to God of War 3's hack and slash gameplay then meets the eye It all depends ON HOW YOU play Just because newbs like you can button mash through the easier difficulties, that doesn't mean its a buttom masher Watch how experienced players play God of War. Major difference! You missed my point too, I'm talking about God of War 1, NOT 3. I haven't played the third one and never intend to, so there's no point in talking about it.
As for the last sentence, you missed my point on that too. What's the point of having a 30-hit or so combo when you can just beat up enemies in 3 hits? That's what it felt like to me in the first God of War.
Another thing I'd like to point out is I'd like to have more depth playing on normal mode and having it be more challenging right away, ala Ninja Gaiden and DMC.
That's cool that you like the series and all but you're not going to change my opinion on it lol.
And by looking at your previous post, you are the definition of a Sony fanboy, your favorite games this gen are all PS3 exclusives.
