Forums - Sony Discussion - GoW: A scores disappoint; Is it time to worry about The Last of Us?

J_Allard on 07 March 2013

Maybe. No guarantee the game will be amazing. I think most of us would have predicted something more than 70's meta score for Ascension.

The reviewers saying the GoW:A is more of the same and docking points for it would more than likely dock points if they decided to change up the formula for the new game. It's a lose-lose situation.

I'm sure The Last of Us will be a lot better. God of War is a pretty good hack and slash franchise but I always enjoyed Naughty Dogs work better and that goes back to Crash on the PS1.

Was Mass Effect 3 actually the last retail released console game to hit 90+ on metacritic. I can't find anything else lol.

I don't want to include Walking Dead as that was released incrementally as a digital download series before the disc version came out.

No, there are people who worked on UC2, UC3 and TLOU. Maybe you should be worried!

Maybe it's okay if they let the Uncharted 3 guys make the start menu.

" is a game, period. Not, “this one’s made by these guys, that one’s made by those guys.” One culture, one process."

"“: Maybe it's time to edumacate NeoGAF on the whole "U2 team on TLOU" nonsense?” Agreed"

"“: TLOU isn't being made by "the U2 team". "U2 team" was spread to U3 and TLOU.” Lots of folks have worked on U2, U3 & TLOU."

"Sigh, why do I read the gaf? If anyone's listening, TLOU isn't being made by "the U2 team". "U2 team" was evenly spread across U3 and TLOU."


I wasn't serious  and I don't think they were either.

I know but considering it's been brought up so much in the past, I just felt like I had to act xD

i honestly think people are getting tired of god of war so that might be why it has a 79 but the last of us does look like it will score high and might even get the dayz crowd

There's only been 1 God of War game on PS3 though. How can people be tired of the series? God of War 3 scored in the 90s.

Then there's Gears of War trilogy which have all come out on XBox 360 and they all scored in the 90s. It is ridiculous. I sense a double standard here. I guess shooters get a free pass.


there has been up to this point 6 god of war titles in general and from what i hear there isn't a lot of change between each titles

No one cares. The PSP titles don't count as far as I'm concerned. 

There has only been 1 God of War game made for PS3 and Ascension would be the 2nd one.


they do count to everyone else but you they also released the PSP games on the PS3 so yeah they are as real as god of war 3

No, they dont' count seeing as how they are PSP ports lmfao. Anything released as a collection doesn't count. I assume you think there's been 3 Jak & Daxter games released on PS3 as well right. LOL.

they count because they are a part of the same franchise you can be in deinal all you want even god of war 3 came out i have seen reviews of people saying it is getting old 

1 PS3 God of War game. That's it. If some people played too much God of War that's their problem. If I played every COD game I'd have a hard time getting excited for the next one too.

also 2 PS2 titles so don't ignore the existence of the first titles just because they are PS2 games 

I'm talking current-gen here. I know there are more God of War gams out there but an exclusive God of War game that maxes out the PS3......God of War Ascension is only the 2nd one this gen. I myself never played 1, 2 or the PSP games. I'm not burnt out on the series like some people might be.  

God of War is a hack n' slash game and compared to the competition such as Metal Gear Rising and DMC...I'm pretty confident that it's the better game. I don't know what kind of scale they used for these reviews but Ascension is in no way a 79. I can tell you that without even playing it. If I'm wrong I'll come back and edit this post in a few weeks once I beat the game.
