thanks. i saw it on GI.

been playing for just over an hour now.

at first i was leaning towards like a 6/10 (yes a score on a beta, deal with it) xD but it was mostly due to lack of knowledge. right now, id give it like a 7 maybe 8 tops. The gameplay is FUN but it feels a bit sluggish. But im not sure if its because im in Europe and the majority of peeps are US that got the beta (hey i aint missing out).

when the tutorial started and you fought that AI 1v1, oh my god it was amazing. The controls were so responsive and it just oozed greatness.

Yet the online is a bit of a cluster fuck and theres too much thats going on at times and you cant tell whats what. I do feel a somewhat high input lag too, like from when I press and when my character reacts to what I press.

I do really like the customization - unlock stuff, seems really deep. Will also have so that skill does indeed matter but its far easier if you play longer as you unlock more stuff. I personally chose Zeus as god but then noticed that you can apparantly switch whenever so I went with Ares. Zeus was just too weak in confrontations imo... Not sure how that'll work out.

But yeah, a bit dissappointed i gotta be honest :(. Its fun though. 7 being "Good" so ..its all good. I just hope they'll truly listen and tune the game after feedback. I want me some 1v1 mode too.

EDIT: Oh and as cool as this might be, they better really have a stellar SP. Otherwise I can really see this game being raped by the critics.

I'm excited for this look forward to a diff type of MP gameplay like Assassins Creed, not another TDM first or third person shooter. Beta may explain why there is lag will prob get patched. I hope this is good could be a game changer.

Whats the download size of the beta?

Okay, played for like 5-6 hours now, non stop. Fuck this game is addicting.

Ive completely gotten use to the sluggy controls now, like, you adapt to it :P. Thats not to mention the fact that I am playing once again on US servers and im in europe so there is some latency expected anyhow.

But really:
I fucking love this.
Will bump it up to an 8/10 aka "Great", for a beta.

I have experienced some lag and tons of disconnects due to host etc, but it is like a private first day beta. I recall Uncharted 3's MP being a disaster on the first week too. Its common.

In general, the game is really fucking nice. Pledge to Ares, with Athena's Sword, Ares Chestplate to name a few :P. Level 15 atm.

LOVE IT!

I just met a GoW A developer online. He stuck with me as we reduced from 1v1v1v1 in one match to another in 1v1v1 and then a final in 1v1. Thats right, yours truly went toe to toe with one of the devs in SSM HQ :D. The results I hear you ask?

My character <3 :

He was really good, but I had the flow with me after like 7 hours of continous play xD.I love it too much!

Sent a PM to him saying thanks for the amazing MP and keep up the good work haha. Cool shit!

Anyone else LOVE the music? If this is what GoW A's OST will be like, awesomeeee

I think he let you win so that, you feel badas$ and spread good word of mouth about the multiplayer.

:D

man i am loving it. I love the armor pieces and weapons. The narration at the beginning is so neat! I feel like i am in an old school Greek mythology movie. I cant wait to see what other weapons they add, and its pretty cool that different swords and hammers have different special attacks. Pre-order confirmed.

I am pretty happy with GOWA so far. I like the direction is going. I played the single player the other day at a Sony store in NYC and that floored. Now that multiplayer is turning up so nice and this early, I can safely say that this could very much be the best GOW game yet.

Loving it!
