Board 8 > I honestly think only Nintendo and Microsoft fanboys/girls can hate God of War.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Seriously, if they'd even give the series a chance they'd see its an excellent series. one of the better stories in a game in recent history. *been seeing a lot of God of War hate*

Proud fan of all that is Shaymin!

god of 1 war is pretty terrible.
2's okay.

and story sure as hell wasn't that important in either. it's heavy on style over substance. as long as you like that, you're fine. if you don't, then pick a different game.

Aww, I lost to SuperNiceDog, Winner of the Rivalry Rumble Guru Contest

I've played a bit of it, though admittedly not a lot. If I'm going to play a balls to the wall action game, I much prefer one in the vein of Devil May Cry.

The story is easily the worst part about God of War, what the hell is this

I like the story in GoW a lot, but it's nothing amazing.

The story was roughly, "RARR I AM ANGRY LET'S KILL THE GREEK PANTHEON AND EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE IN ITS MYTHOLOGY ARGL BLARGL!!!!!11"

But killing stuff was fun. Some of the deaths were spectacularly entertaining.

Story in the first one was good, sucked in the sequels, which had better gameplay.

SuperNiceDog took my lunch money.

I like the story. The characters are compelling and Kratos actually is deeper than just "angry guy".

But yeah the game's strengths are in style and pacing, with a flawlessly smooth flow of gameplay. DMC's action is way better, but it definitely flow worse than GoW. When GoW's pacing gets interrupted, everything else crumbles with it. Play on God/Titan mode to see this happen. DMC deals with difficulty a lot better.

Every other game must have sucked big time then, because it's definitely nothing special.

GoW1 is pretty boring after a few hours. I really enjoyed GoW2. GoW3 is solid.

Oh, I am one yet many.

God of War 1 is awful.
Entirely due to mechanics/physics/etc.
Pushing blocks is so slow.
And there was a boss fight where you sort of came full circle back after you got a key or something? I got the health chests in front of this door before, on my first pass, so when I went back with key in hand, low on health, I had to fight the boss behind the door. Naturally, low on health, I died. So on continuing, I respawn outside the boss door with the same low amount of health.

Good programming.
It's a whole bunch of little **** like that that makes GoW1 awful.
I swear 75% of the time blocking doesn't work when it should.

GoW 2 fixed most of these problems luckily and was a good game.
3 was ok.

GoW1 is awful, but the story is good.

GoW2 has a killer start, but then gets kinda meh, story sucks.

GoW3 is pretty good, though I feel like it's mostly because of insanely good production values over anything.

Haven't played GoW3 yet, but Bayonetta might have rendered that entire series pointless for me tbqh. Bayo's combat is just so much funner.
