it finally arrived and i just finished it !
unfortunately no its not the best game ever for the third time in a row its
2>3>1> chains of olympus they are all 10/10 for me though !
+ every shot looks like fucking concept art !
+ the controls are as silky smooth as ever !
+ fighting with the bow is tons of fun the sound and fire rate are absolutely gold
+ 60 frames per second !
+ seamless streaming experience !
+ the puzzles are mind bendingly brilliant and yet easy to solve the hera garden mc escher echochrome last crusade riddle was probably the best i have ever seen !
+ most convincing booby bounce physics i have seen in a game yet ( might have been hand animated
... certainly wasn't mocaped as the making of footage reveals
)
+ climbing and fighting on the titans is totally awesome this is what sotc would probably have been like if it ran 60 fps and had tight controls !
+ the ability strip was implemented very tastefully and it didn't steal all the powers only those that made sense in the context of the story !
+ all the new weapons are very similar to the chaos blades because nobody wants to play with anything but 2 blades on 2 chains attached to your arms anyway since its FUCKING GOD OF WAR !
+ harpy flying, ceberus and cyclops riding is lots of fun !
+ mapping a magic power to each weapon thus opening 4 new ability slots to other goodies was a good idea ! made you feel more powerful than ever !
+ me as an atheist i say killing gods needs to go more mainstream and i applaud you for your affords sony santa monica !!!
+ first person shoots where sickening and emotionally involving !
+ nothing out epics this game !
- the color pallet is way too emo didn't need this much black i liked the sun drenched bright warm colors of gow 1 and 2 !
- didn't care for the black white and red sin city post filter.
- too much 1 pixel specular highlight flickering
- didn't need an escort mission in the end (doesn't matter that she cant die ) it was a bad idea in bioshock and it was a bad idea here
- inconsistent interactive elements not all books can be read right away not all save spots can be used at all times not all pottery can be broken ... this is easy to fix shit too ...
- annoying jar jar binks characters: hera hermes zeus pandora ... dont people realize that characters that are annoying within the context of your game world are also annoying outside it ?!
-as awesome as i thought the whole inner workings of mount olympus were they were unnecessarily complex and i am sure there is at least 2 plot holes as far a the explanation of the workings go ! for example you need "the soul of a god" in order to traverse those portals ? k ... so how come those exploding dogs can go through there too when its convenient to solve a puzzle ? also wasn't pandora supposed to do something in that labyrinth box room ... i didn't see here do anything ?
-that entire box room looked stupid like it was out of a halo game or something ...
overall totally awesome ! 10/10 cant wait to see what they will be doing next !
