Several things must be said
God of War is not a game for everyone. I certainly have no interest in the franchise. I like my games to provide me with many hours of entertainment, have a well written plot, be good to play with friends and challenge both my brain and my gaming abilities. I am sure it is a good game within its genre, but it is not a universally loved genre. Understanding this will help you understand my later points.
To consider Halo, MGS and GTA as the three franchises that exemplify 'great' only heightens the difference between you and I as gamers, and further convinces me that I would not be interested in GoW
The sales of the GoW franchise are low not because of when they were released (and infact they were released at a very good time for PS2 software, certainly better than GTA3, GT3 or any of the other best selling PS2 games) but because the series lacks universal appeal.
So to answer you question, I believe you will be dissapointed b the sales of GoW3 when it releases, but you will not care too much because you will be enjoying the game |
I agree that god of war isn't a game for everyone, but GoW contains many of the qualities you look for in a game. It has a very well written plot, with the amount of unlockables you can have many hours of gameplay in GoW. It's not a game that you can play with your friends because it's obviously only 1 player, but it definitely challenges your gaming ability (especially in God mode, and the challenges of the Gods/Titans) and God of War is known for having many different puzzles in the game that can be challenging to figure out.
So I don't really understand why you don't like the game if it meets pretty well all your qualities for a good game?
@Michael-Moore, I think the sales for God of War II is incomplete, I heard it passed GoW I, but I could be wrong.
