i honestly think people are getting tired of god of war so that might be why it has a 79 but the last of us does look like it will score high and might even get the dayz crowd

There's only been 1 God of War game on PS3 though. How can people be tired of the series? God of War 3 scored in the 90s.

Then there's Gears of War trilogy which have all come out on XBox 360 and they all scored in the 90s. It is ridiculous. I sense a double standard here. I guess shooters get a free pass.


there has been up to this point 6 god of war titles in general and from what i hear there isn't a lot of change between each titles

this late into the gen a 79 would have been a 90 if we were in 2007, there is no more juice to be squeeze out of the current gen consoles so reviewers are less impressed but I am sure in the end if you like GOW 3 you will love this one



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

it's not the last of us i'm worried about. it's GEARS:J


i haven't seen any hype for Gears at all, and it comes out in less than 2 weeks. It'll do poorly in both review and sales, I think.

GoW:A will do ok, even with a ~79 metascore. God of War games tend to have have long legs. 

yea God of War will do just fine in the sales department, but GEARS: j i don't even want to talk abut in that area. i feel srry for people can fly. i'd hate for epic to close them do to gear:j 's outcome.

No one cares. The PSP titles don't count as far as I'm concerned. 

There has only been 1 God of War game made for PS3 and Ascension would be the 2nd one.

This. ''gamer fatigue'' didn't happen last gen with many games released around 05 turning out to be franchise bests. There is some truth to the theory, but only in releation to sales (mobile games cutting into the console market or economic climate) not so much critic scores.

No, they dont' count seeing as how they are PSP ports lmfao. Anything released as a collection doesn't count. I assume you think there's been 3 Jak & Daxter games released on PS3 as well right. LOL.

to be fair with crysis 3 people might actually be putting their foot down say FPS are getting freaking old which is why i didn't buy crysis and most likely won't buy any FPS that is at good discounted like 30 or less price this year
