| Packie said: GOW 1 & 2 are among one of my favorite games ever, I love 'em. Not so much 3, I honestly found it boring and forced myself to play it for the trophies. Sure it had wonderful graphics, few awesome set-pieces and the most refined battle-system in the franchise but the awful story and shitty ending really held it back for me. Compared to other action-adventure games, it pretty damn good but I didn't like it as much as the first two. |
I completely agree with you. the story for GoW 3 was awful, the director Stig is shit imo. i wish David Jaffe had not left after the 2nd game and contributed directly to the script and the level design.
i think the level design in GoW 3 was not good either tbh.
in GoW 1, we had incredible locations like the Desert of Lost Souls, the Temple of Pandora, the Trials of Atlas, Poseidon etc, in GoW 2 we had even more things like the Steeds of Time, or the Temple of the Fates. that part of the game where you fight the Kraken is simply brilliant level design.
GoW 3's design was poor imo, the centrepiece of the game was a dark cave with loads of big boxes in it. Olympus was tiny, the only main part we visited was this 'HUB' area with Pandora's Box. surely they couldve come up with something better than that box room and made Olympus a lot bigger with more halls, puzzles and rooms. it feels so small.
and lastly the Titans wernt even in the damn game, what the hell happened to Atlas, i thought he and Kratos had a score to settle.
