The combat is what saved it from falling behind Chains of Olympus and helped it tie with Ghost of Sparta for me.
It's not as good as GoW1, 2 and 3 in my opinion though. (Speaking campaign only, but with MP taken into consideration, i'd tie it with GoW1).
Yeah the Kratos storyline seems a bit exhausted at this point. Time for something new

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.
Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
| Attoyou said: Playing God Of war 3 and Ascension back to back was a little awkward. Graphics seemed to go backwards in a lot of areas. (Lighting was better but character models really looked shit a lot of the time and the IQ was terrible after God of War 3.) Gameplay nowhere near as smooth. The game was surprisingly buggy, A first time problem for me and GoW. Boss battles nowhere near as good (That last fight was AMAZING though) and the Story was weak. |
WTF?
Ascension is easily the best graphics on a PS3 game that is undenibale. Just compare the first boss fight with each other.

The lighting and textures seem much smoother in God of War: Ascension than God of War III. And based on these two videos the character models looked much more far more superior in God of War: Ascension.
It did have some sound issues (but they were fixed), hardly and bugs especially when compared to God of War I, II, Ghost of Sparta and COO. Although slighlty more than 3.
Gameplay less smooth!?? I really don't know what to say to you...
But I agree God of War: 3 has a much better story (but we all play games for gameplay don't we?) and the boss fights were more entertaining.

I don't mind...but I want God of War: Ascension type gameplay and MP or I'll be pissed.

Really shows the difference. The textures, lighting and overall details are so much more crisp and better in Ascension than GoWIII. Mindblowing considering GoWIII looks so stunning.

There is no more memorization in this game than the past. These games aren't known for difficult puzzles. I think I 5 year old could get past the game if the difficult fighting was done for them

Yes, Ascension is stunning. Lighting as I said looked fantastic. But everything else I just found to be inconsistent. Most areas looked nowhere near as good as that boss fight (much like GoW3 and its first boss) Combined with the worse AA coming off of God Of War 3. At times Kratos's character model just looked amazing, other times though..he looked like shit. I agree though, it has the PS3's highest highs.
As far as bugs go, I guess everyone is going to have had a different experience. God Of War had been a flawless experience for me until GoWA.
And gameplay, well..Having just beat GoW3 on Titan before playing Gow:A; just felt rough. Controls didn't feel as responsive. Kratos felt weak, getting smacked around by lowly enemies. (maybe that was the point as this was a prequel) and as usual collecting the chests/orbs was too easy lol.
Still enjoyed the game. This is one of my favorite 5 franchises so I will be eagerly awaiting the next God Of War. But this game was without a doubt the weakest console GoW.
Atto Suggests...:
Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series
Game - Metro Last Light
TV - Deadwood
Music - Forest Swords
| DareDareCaro said: 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... |
I found the combat to be good, and the fighting sequences and visuals top notch. But yeah, the story left something to be desired compared to the first 3. GOW series was never known for its deep story, but still.

My thoughts almost exactly. Though GoW1's lack of boss battles and somewhat clunky traversal compared to the others (no wall jumping or sliding). I would put Ascension above it. 2 is still my favorite and 3 is juuuust behind it. Then Ascension then GoS then CoO far behind
