The dying generation syndrome. Hopefully it won't affect God of War


This!! Im positive I and GoW fans will love it, just like Halo fans loved Halo 4. But from a critical acclaim and awards standpoint: It wouldn't shock me if God of War gets similar reception. I hope I am wrong. Maybe the MP will be fresh enough to save it. Im kinda glad Sony has their main franchises being made for PS4 atm. I just hope we can get past Ascension with it being well recieved. That's kinda the last franchise that has to transcend to PS4. ( Others being UC4, GT6, KZ4 & LBP3 ).

I can't really imagine God of War: Ascension getting 70's. Mid 80's is a more likely scenario than 70's. I'm hoping for higher though but we'll see in a little over a month. :)



By similar I meant similar to Halo 4 -> Under 90 (87 to be specific).

Not bad since it is not from Sucker Punch. Not that I care about Metacritic anyways. I usually dislike games that are 90+ and love games 60-90. Of course their are a few gems in the 90+.

Somebody care to summarize the overall complaints / praises the game gets?

They just complain about how it feels too much like the older Sly Coopers from the PS2 games. Basically hard core fan will love it but people new to the series might not.

Sounds like theyre doing it right to me!

That is what i expect out of it, is a around an 88.  Which is still amazing this late in the generation for sequel or in this case prequel games.

Games in the 70 range usually turn out great for me.
I poured hours and hours into Tropico 4, meta 78.
Majin and the forsaken kingdom was one of my favourites in 2010, meta 74
Tokyo Jungle, another huge time sink, meta 74

I loved the Sly HD collection and can't wait to play the same in HD, just like I'm enjoying the same old Mario again in HD. 77 is just right, no unnecessary bells and whistles and at a discounted price, sold.

A hardcore fan will love it because It plays like a Sly game, while those new to the series won't have any context for the compliants, so I can't see why they wouldn't buy it. I'm getting tired of these double standards. For RAC, Gow and Sly 'It's just more of the same', but for Halo and Gear it's 'If it isn't broken don't fix it'.

Nobody has been saying that.  Gears 3 and Halo 4 both got a lower metascore because they are more of the same even though they are both the best of the series.  They still hold up as being amazing games though.  A crack in time actually did well it has just been the other RAC games this generation that has struggled.  God of War Ascension will likely do well, I'm expecting something near Halo 4 unless the multiplayer ends up proving me wrong.  Anyways i dont think anybody has said anything about those games that you have mentioned.  People have just been bringing up Halo 4 as an example of how games ratings are declining at the end of the generation. Who knows, maybe game ratings are changing permanately, and Im ok with that to be honest.

I recently bought the Sly, Jak and Ratchet HD collections. After beating all 9 games I can say without a doubt that the Sly games are much much worse than the other two series.
