I plated the 5 other GoW and pretty much loves everyone of them but what's going on with Ascension? I'm about half playthrough now and I'm really disapointed.  I changed my controller 3 times coz I was thinking they were broke, but no, it's the gameplay.  There is no fluidity, the dodge roll is worst than ever and unresponsive. You pull a stick, push a button at the same time and nothing register.  You mash the button 1 time too much and the move will compute 2 seconds later...  We got some crazy camera angle from time to time.  And the story?  Dunno...  Gotta kill those 3 bitches?  I dunno...

Sorry man but it seems that we aren't playing the same game... you can downplay a lot of things in Ascension but the gameplay is simply not one of them. By far it's the best of the series, it's really fluid and deeper than the one in the previous games.

I agree. I rate it on par with the first game and Chains of Olympus. It really should have been a Vita game; maybe that way it wouldn't have been viewed as so incredibly inferior to the third game. I really hope they step up their game for the next game, for the sake of the series as a whole.

The combat was pretty responsive for me. They nerfed the jump dodge all to shit though. I only got stuck at the Poseidon weapons because the area was too small and the guys were very aggressive. Had to get through it by cheaply grappling

i think something is wrong with your ps3 or tv then. since there is no problem at all with the responsiveness of the gameplay

As for camera angles I only found them troublesome on the snake. Other than that it was like every other GoW game. And story, yes. Kill the bitches... its really that easy just like every other GoW game.

Maybe I'm ready for a brand new controller then... My seventh. Anyone of you played it on hard? That's where you need that responsiveness. Still, don't like it that much. The stupid battle minigames are unclear and useless. You never know what's going to come: stupip minigame or QTE or whatnot...

wait whats going on with your controllers that you need a seventh controller? are you sure its not your ps3?

and i played it on hard

I played it on hard. The battle mini games? You mean the ones that are few and far between with the elephants and gorgans?

I have no problem with QTE in GoW but now it's... What do I do? Stupid minigame, QTE coming...
