This is what Todd Pappy said over at gaf

"The reviews are not as high as I hoped, but I'm EXTREMELY proud of what we accomplished. If you read the reviews they say it plays like a God of War game...good that is what we were aiming for ;). The way I look at it, it comes down to the fans, if they like it then we did our job. Look COD, got 83 on metacritic but sold 20+ million, or Psychonauts critics loved it but the average gamer not so much.

Each area of the game has its own challenges. Certain SP levels are very complecated to create/design (Example - Hecaton. The opening level). Getting in and reworking Kratos/combat was a big challenge. The way we work everything really comes together late in the project. With MP, building the tech and design"formula" of how the game works/plays took ALONG time. We put people on it that were able to power through those challenges. I understand that some people look at the MP and discount it, but I believe there is a ton of great content there. Most importantly it feels like GOW, and plays different than everything out there ;)"

oh and it's confirmed, ALL FUTURE DLC MAPS WILL BE FREE!

Can you post a link to the thread please?  I want to see how the people reacted to this. :)

I think Athena is working for the primordials. Now that Gaia is dead they might have a bone to pick with Kratos.

As a huge Uncharted fan: I completely agree. This game is just wow.

Pretty decent review scores, a little on the low side of that I was expecting though. Will this be the lowest rated GOW game?

Almost all of the reviews pretty much said the same thing. 

- Harder than all the other GOW games. Focuses more on parries than straight button mashing.

- Doesnt reach the level of grandure that GOW 3 does. 

- Fails to have the grand battles that GOW3 even though the game has a lot of wow moments. (Seriously in what non-main franchise game are the main gods ever the major players? Its always the secondary gods and demi gods.)

These reviewers act like theyve never played the whole franchise.

To say the truth, Tomb Raider is better looking.  Though with that said, God of War has bosses that are stages and nothing really comes close to that.

But do you see Kratos having the will to fight after getting 'hope' in the end of GOW3?

 

And generally speaking ... WOW! Look at those pics man. Definitely the best looking console game this gen. I'm sure Beyond and Last of Us will do well, but damn. I don't think it is a stretch to say Kratos will hold the crown this gen.

From what I've seen, on consoles, God of War is easily ahead. The scale, textures, bosses, Kratos himself...all ahead. And reviewers agree. Plus, this is all on top of 60fps.

Tomb Raider is ahead on textures, and lighting.  The scale isn't as big, but Tomb Raider has quite a bit of set pieces.  Can't argue with the framerate.

You'd be the only person I heard that one from. From the pics, reviews, and gamers, especially regarding textures, I believe otherwise. 

Thus, I stand by it - best looking console right now. I expect it to last through The Last Of Us, where that will win everything but character models from 3EYOND.

I've played both and I'm telling your right now Tomb Raider is better.  So far that I've played (Passed the prologue) God of War does nothing God of War 3 hadn't already done.  Which leaves you with that plastic looking texture work and overall lack of detail (By detail I mean extra stuff, plantation, mud, animals running around, etc).  Tomb Raider really blew me away.  Other than shading, Tomb Raider is quite a bit better looking than Uncharted 2 and 3.  They even did the "Burning building" better than what Naughty Dog did in Uncharted 3.  Overall larger areas than God of War too.  Plus once I get Tomb Raider running on my PC I can start looking at what the PC version did better cause I have a hunch the PS3 version of Tomb Raider isn't too far behind its PC counter part.
