God of War III

Quote from Skjalg

today. Fucking awesome

hehe yeah thats as far as I got as well !

It really starts to get out of control shortly after that.

Agreed. Can't believe they're the first to do that, seems so obvious when you think about it. Now you can actually focus on whats going on, while interacting.

I remember reading an article way back about how Gearbox was going to incorporate a similar system into Colonial Marines for their QTEs. Wonder who thought of it first.

That was the first thing I noticed about the QTE's and am glad someone finally did that. This says that the designers got in the mind of gamers at an "impulse" level, as in, you want the played to hit square, so have the square prompt be on the left etc. They see left and can think with their bodies which I believe is easier to get used to and ends up reducing response time.

In a way, I had always hoped there would be all these innovative Wii games that would have similar [screen prompt] -->[brain process] --> [physical gesture with Wii controls] that would connect gamers closer to their on screen avatars in games, but it just never happened. But I digress.

Well, work done for the day. Time for more GoW3 playing...

I really loved the part with the first person view from the other guy scene.

Fucking awesome game so far, just played up to when you get teh bow

I'm not sure if it's the first game to do it, but that's how QTE's were displayed in Viking.

My favorite review of this game.

Seriously, have you played this game? This the over-the-top action experience that Uncharted 2 was lusting for. This is the cinematic ball-stomping tendon-ripping ragefest I've been waiting for ever since I made Sonic jump on a badnik's head (boing!) and thought, You know what would improve this? A QTE where Tails comes in and chokes the shit out of the enemy, then lowers it into Sonic while he spins like a buzz saw. Blood flies everywhere, and then Sonic and Tails go have sex. (Not with each other, internet)God of War III is fucking great. It's not perfect, but neither is Christina Hendricks (married) and that hasn't stopped Reddit from it's salaciously-adolescent rampage. I checked /r/Gaming this morning (noon) for a page of 'GoW impressions' or 'Why God of War is more interesting than your entire fucking family' and found nothing. In the words of the Colonel, "You have failed me for the last time, Reddit!" (citation needed)

This game is the best justification I've found for buying a $9,000 TV projector that you have to shine on the side of Ayer's Rock (suck it Atkinson). On the blowjob scale of awesome, it ranks in at a solid 6.8 -- representing the amount of lollypop-loving you'll forgo to finish this game (seven would be extreme, we're only human after all). This is one of those rare titles where the primary complaint is that it eventually ends. Buy. This. Game.

Yeah, it's more of the same, but is that really an issue? "Oh no, not Quick! Time! Events!" Naysayers scream. Yeah, I reply, but there are QTE's and there are QTE's. Would you rather press X to Jason or Press X to rip a Gorgon's head free from its sinews and kill her cousin with it? The first boss in this game is more exciting than the final boss in most others. Remember when you beat Xenogears, and you got to kill GOD as the last boss? Yeah, GoW3 makes that step one.

If you play this game, you will slay bosses taller than the twin towers and twice as explosive. Your one-man Greek Jihad against Heaven is faster, stronger, bloodier and angrier than anything you've played before. When I started the game yesterday my controller punched me in the face when I turned it on, just to let me know what I was in for. To compare this title against the two (four) others in the series, let me put it like this: in GoW 1 and 2, you die, and then escape narrowly from Hades via annoying jumping puzzles. In God of War 3, you die, and then escape by

finding and killing the GOD of HELL

. My fucking CAT has a beard after seeing that.

Are you convinced yet? Need I go on? Here's the premise of the story: You're a giant black man that's so pissed off about the death of his family that he's going to kill the rest of his family with his bare hands. Aww, my brother made me kill my wife and daughter. Therefore I should kill my father, all my brothers and sisters, and a couple of cousins to round it all out. Oh, and he casually wipes out a good chunk of humanity in the process. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

4/5 stars, would recommend.

Finished it earlier today. Great game, just wish there had been more Titan fights. Can't overdo those!

Also the actual ending was slightly weak for me.

Anyway, now I kinda wanna go back and play GOW1+2 again

I just finished it too, really good. Will certainly give it another play through later once Yakuza 3 and Espgaluda 2 are done.

On the subject of the ending- yes, the ending:

Thoughout the credits I thought they had huge balls to kill off Claytoes... Though it would appear they haven't actually done that

Edit: Removed lame joke. Sorry whoever saw it.

This is my favorite series of all time. its what got me to switch from Nintendo.when I seen the teaser trailer I though the graphics looked very nice. Sort of like a water painting but now it looks back to normal. hopefully the story stays as good as it started.

God of Modern War!

That doesn't really

fit with what happens in GoW3 since Cronos was killed in Tartarus...

That doesn't really

Well it's from God of War 1 (Which is from 2005), so I figure it's a somewhat empty and discarded teaser

Some insights into their level design process!

nice share!

Interesting read.

Apparently the first DLC is soon to be released on the PSN and will contain a 2 players mode a la Street Fighter IV between all the main protagonists of the game. Price to be revealed.

God of War I is good gaming entertainment,but I would recommend everyone to play GOW III. Story is the best.Best game I have played, the superb graphics and game play. It is also the same with the other two games.I can say that the God of War series are the best games to play.

I liked it when Kratos was angry. I also liked it when he was

holding onto Pandora, Zeus taunts what a failure he is, so lets her go and runs over to punch him. Killing Pandora.

I still can't work that scene out.

Quote from Erratic

Resurrecting the old, terrible tradition of beat 'em ups with Vs. modes. I don't know what to say.

so many hours lost in the double dragon VS mode
