My first playthrough was glitchless. my second my screen went dark at the ice element. It snapped out of it when it loaded the snake video

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.

Still enjoyed the game a lot, no more rush jobs though, Sony.

GoS>GoW3>GoW2>GoW1>GoW:A>COO

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.

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.

He always looked fantastic to me. At times he did look slightly different but still he always looked amazing. I'll leave you alone with the bugs even though every God of War game for the exception of III I found to have more bugs than this. I found God of War III a little to easy at times even some of the boss fights but that made sense with Kratos being an unstobbale beast. Whereas I actaully found some difficulty with God of War: Ascension (something that the reviewers kept nagging about) and throughly enjoyed it. The single player experience was longer and tougher giving me more bang for my buck. As for unresponsive controls I never had that issue when playing on Hard, Medium and Easy but I haven't played Titan yet so I can't tell.

Well, it's not that bad... I think I was pretty frustrated by the fact that playing on hard the first time you are really underpowered in the beginning, mostly with the swarming enemies in little rooms...

My only problem with Ascension is that is was just more of the same. Gameplay was pretty much what I've always known, I did like that they acknowledged that the Blades of Chaos are all you need and that they made the other weapons kinda like items.

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.

It's funny, I don't notice any of these details. All I can see is how fucking epic Poseidon was. Especially compared to whatever that thing was supposed to be.

Even I who find Poseidon and GoW3 to be on a whole other level in terms of story and overall game have to admit that Ascension from a visual standpoint shits over GoW3. I guess that's what makes them details. You only notice them if you have a .. "trained" eye? or maybe if you actually let yourself notice them? I DONT KNOW BRO. The overall texture work on that face is far ahead compared to Poseidon.

Texture work and advanced lighting are like women: they do nothing for me.
