Forums - Sony - I think I know why I hate the direction the GOW series has taken after GOW1

SmoothCriminal on 09 March 2010

I don't agree. I never though the GoW story was all that good, just well told. Similar to the Half-Life story. Although both games don't have the best stories (even though HL is MILES beyond GoW in my opinion) the story telling (once again, I believe that HL does it better) makes them fun stories (and in the case of Half-Life, ****ing AMAZING).

P.S. Did I let my Half-Life fanboyism show? Oops!

It's just all matter of opinion. i thought GOWII was way better and more epic compared to GOWI

No not really. I myself didn't know that but I enjoyed God Of War II a lot more or just as much as the original.

You just don't like the game buddy, but you should still give God of War III a rent.

When did I say that I hated GOW2?

When did I say that you hated GOW2? Like, I said..Like.

Ok..then let me ask you.....when did I ever say I didnt like GOW2?

Last time we had an argument.

Last time we had an argument we were discussing how barebone GOW2 story was and then you went off into how there was alot of story between the points I laid out without even explaining a little of it.

Thats far different than not liking a game.



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

No ever likes the middle story in trilogies. Empire Strikes Back, Back to the Future 2, Matrix Reloaded, Metal Gear Solid 2, Halo 2...

Thats not the case when you look at ME2 and U2......but your right , for some reason in every medium the 2nd part of the trilogy always sucks and then it is revitalized in the third , but it never gets the glory the first did.

" Far less enjoyable"(OP)...I take that as a, "I didn't like it".

And if you want the story behind God of War 2, watch the cutscenes on youtube.

Its the change in directors , I never knew that for each iteration there was a different director directing and thats probably why GOW2 was far less enjoyable for me compared to GOW1.....

Does anyone feel the same way I do if they felt there was a decline between in the series? (between GOW1 and GOW 2)

 

EDIT:This is strictly referring to story and character development.

200% agree but the word "hate" is too strong

in GoW1 : there is a reason WHY you do what you do

in GoW2 : free kill/rage, you play a crazy guy with no brain

in Gow3: the same (guess)

Neverthless : even with a less interesting story/character developpement
GoW games are amazingly good and d onot deserve your "hate"

 

There's also a reason why you do what you do. You're trying to find a way to turn back time before Zeus fooled you. Correct?

sure BUT why does Zues wants to kill you ?
because you are getting frenzy and kiing town after town

so why are you killing town after town and acting even worst than Ares ? .... because you are ... ANGRY !

Perhaps, they should have made a comment in the story about Kratos losing COMPLETELY his mind and going total berserk mode
because from my point of view, this guy has no reason to act like he acts at the start of GoW2.



Time to Work !

Maybe you're right. But since he became the new god of war he is meant to support warfare of any kind and destroy whatever city he wants, even if he goes berserk. Anyway, a small comment to support that scenario like you said would clear things up a lot.
