taus90 on 07 March 2013

The biggest joke, have got to be CVG's review, their issue with GoW is that its too similar and doesn't offer anything new compare to previous games in the series, while taking away few stuff like titan fights and god of war 3 weapons, and this review was done by someone who has played all the gow games but doesn't know how the hell can Kratos acquire weapons which he acquired in gow3 in a prequel to the trilogy.

Push Square:

"The game in general benefits from years of technical experimentation on the PS3 hardware, boasting image quality and attention to detail that’s on an entirely different plane to other current generation games. The frame-rate – which hovers around the series’ 60FPS benchmark without too many hiccups – gives the animation an extraordinarily believable appearance, which is particularly noticeable when the camera zooms out on antagonists large enough to fill the screen. There are moments where the scale is so big that it becomes a detriment to the actual gameplay – fighting on the back of an enormous mechanical snake as it races through a collapsing ice cavern is one such area – but it’s hard not to appreciate the spectacle as you zip through the world".

Looks like Ascension holds the console graphics visual crown. The Last Of us and 3EYOND - bring ya "A" game!

 

review opinion is not fact

I'm not looking to debate it, just stating what nearly every review seems to agree on.


every review did not say god of war was best looking

Lowest score is still 70. So at least nobody hates it xD

watch out for the guy who gave halo 4 20%! 

and talking about halo 4, i already saw people "raging" in this thread who laughed about the halo score and said people have to accept it. well, listen to your own words is my advice

reviewers have no clue what they do anymore. when you change some stuff which is already too much for huge fans they say "it's not enough change" like in halo 4, if you change even more they say it's too different to the predecessors...it's like you can only score good if you make a new ip or if the predecessors were much worse as the new game of a franchise.

Laughable scores. How can God of War all of a sudden only deserve a 7? I can't trust reviewers anymore.

I know right? But just ..maybe MAYBE the MP actually did take a hit on the SP. Like I don't mean the SP is bad, but the purpose of telling the story is a bit.. less "exciting" than GoW3 would you not agree? It feels as if Ascensions sole purpose is to try the MP. Why? So that they can have a MP in the PS3 era? I doubt that.

I think the real question is: What the fuck is Stig Asmussen and his SSM team doing xD. I dont really think its GoWIV but if it is: It kinda makes me go "ahaaa".


Nah I think this team wanted to try the MP and still give us an experience in the SP. But the purpose of the game seems rather obvious to me. And it is quite clever rather than starting a trilogy or something and baking the MP in too. It is simply too much.

You mean it's "less exciting" because it's a prequel?

I agree that Ascension is somewhat a test game for MP and that MP often steals resources from MP in one way or another. But if they're testing MP then it's probably here to stay, and thus should take away resources from SP in the future too, right?

Do you have the game already?

Reviewers are out of their minds. The multiplayer beta alone made me want this more than any other gow game before. It's anything but button mushing. He even said that you'll only play it once. I take it that's how much time he spent playing it (referring to gamespot dude). There was no doubt in my mind that it would get less than great reviews. Hell it mind end up getting the same meta as PSASBR.

Unfortunately reviews matter and I think it won't get the sales it deserves.

I really hope IGN gives this a 9. Hopefully any other major review site will give it a good rating so that it can at least settle at 85 in Metacritic. THIS GAMES DESERVES BETTER!!

THE RAGE!!! I WANT TO KILL THEM ALL!
