Forums - Gaming Discussion - God of War: A vs MGS Rising vs. DMC. The Ultimate Hack n Slash showdown!

 

Which game is the best?

God of War Ascension 211 54.38%
 
Metal Gear Solid Rising: Revengance 127 32.73%
 
DMC 50 12.89%
 
Total:388

The first 3 months of this year has already seen the release of 3 awesome hack and slash games.  A genre which many times seems under represented has been in the spotlight for the first part of the year. 

Now that all 3 have released the question is which is the best?  Is it God of War Ascension,  Metal Gear Solid Rising, or DMC?

Let the ultimate battle commence!

Honestly, the three are outstanding games.



Alas! I can not choose! I love both metal gear and god of war to much...



God of War and Revengeance are on another level when compared to the new DMC. Can't tell which one of these two is better.



Well hack and slash is my favorite genre, and all three games are great, but they're very different and appeal to me differently. GOW:A I had the most fun with, and I love the spectacle and boss battles in it. After completing the trials on hard and very hard you tend to feel a true sense of accomplishment. MGR is challenging as fk on the higher settings, and Monsoon is a hell of a boss to fight. I thought the move set was a bit simple but it was still fun. DmC was decent and very balanced. Despite what people might think there is some degree of complexity and it can be fun. Of the 3 the story in DmC captured me the most.


All in all GOW:A captured my interest the most ... the boss battles and trials are just insane.

Personally I love all 3 of them but as of right now I would have to pick Metal Gear.

I'm still at the very beginning of God of War Ascension though and that could change the farther I get into it



Love God of War: Ascension, like DmC, dislike MGR:R.

Even one of the weaker GoW's (according to whiny critics anyway) is up there with the best of its competitors, GoW just owns the genre in every aspect.

Might have to do a rematch for the best hack 'n slashers this year when Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 comes out, that has a serious chance at topping God of War: Ascension if it can top the brilliant original C:LoS! This year is a pretty good year for the genre, although seeing the franchise that originally defined the genre go out with such a whimper with horrendous sales is quite sad, DmC is a pretty good game and deserves better.

Has anybody tried the Ninja Gaiden 3 RE demo on PSN/XBL? If so what do you think? I tried it twice and I will share my thoughts after.

oh man am I hyped for Castlevania!  Loved LoS, especially the vampire section.  The atmosphere and light weakness stuff was the best.  The rest of the game was above average, but the Vampire 1/3 was definitely the highlight for me
