Poor Kratos. He’s grieving over the recent death of his wife and child so much that he found himself in a brothel. I feel so sorry for him. :'(

Isn't the game a prequel? so technically this game is part of the main series, just doesn't have the number "4". Kinda like Zelda which the main games in the series do not have any chronological sequence

Given the nature of the game most people will not look this as a spin-off, is part of the main series and it should be treated as such imo. The game will probably sit in the low 80's range which is not bad imo. Some gamers today think that anything below 90 is bad, which is completely stupid.

bold:There are chronological difference in Zelda games? I through it was the same Hero, same princess, same big boss, same world, same game with different graphics every time.

No, the core gameplay mechanics are very similar, but they keep making chances between every installment. Excatly the same as God of War. Zelda does make changes in the story, there's a princess and a bad guy, the world around this events is very different. Similar to Kratos which is always looking for revenge.

Oh, come on. It doesn't even make sense having a sex minigame in this one. Don't tell me they were THAT scared of straying from formula. -_-



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

The reviewers saying it's the same GoW games with no innovation when it is the first with a online MP component makes me thinks WTF?

How is adding MP component making it innovative?

I have seen the full scene: Nothing happens.

Unlike you however: I wish it did :(

If the only reason it's getting lower scores is that it is exactly like every other GOW game. This is why I hate reviewers. Of course, it's gonna be the same as every other game in the series, but with a different story. Doesn't matter because the first 30 minutes of the game are awesome and I fully expect the rest of the game to amazing as well.


And yet they never raise those complaints when reviewing First person shooters or Gears....
