well Aldro it looks like i may have been wrong in my other thread when i predicted an 88 metacritic. So far it has a 76. That ends my streak of getting them right :/

:D Next time listen to me and subtract a bit ^^

80 at the moment, its lucky to keep it.

I hated the way gamespot reviewed the game!

I knew it. Just like Halo. I said a long time ago in that debate with Jay520 that GoW was gonna get alot of flank for being more or less the same as previous installments. New guy in charged played it to safe. They need to move on from this Saga and go to Egypt.

+1

Go Egypt, keep Kratos if you want but give him new weapons. I love the Blades I really do but the mechanics have been the same since freaking PS2 era. Time to do something new.



Damn, a 90+ franchise going to be in the 70s when all reviews come in?

wow. Lets see how the DJs/spin artists react to this.

I really don't think the reviewers are being total ass holes.

Its obvious they prioritized the MP and the SP being a prequel is just there so that it can cater to the SP fans. It probably wont blow but it is NOT a mainline God of War game that propells anything forward (aside from the MP).

Lets be thankful they didn't actually call this GoWIV or anything. Save that for next gen with an explored MP now and something fresh that can actually top GoWIII.

haha gamespot review says that in the MP you can get through by smashing buttons! Please do not take this as advice. If you go in thinking this you will get your ass whooped like no tomorrow

I went in to the beta like that...I came out crying.

Yep that's how it went down for me when I went into the private beta

I mean in the MP running away is a very valid and SMART strategy at times

Ya....rarely do these games climb. Itll settle on a 78 or something.

I disagree.. I think Ghost of Sparta is the best SP in the series and look at the meta it got. 

Fact of the matter is reviewers are complaining due to the game being in the same setting (greek mythology) ..and having a more grounded sp campaign compared to GOW3. I absolutely loved GOW3...but not for the story. Story wise it was pretty meh
