Damn great looking game! Releases on my last exam day too!

I was gonna pre-order it but it's sold out on Amazon Canada for now... The good reviews are really helping sell this game!

What Easy Allies said is what I cannot let go of:

"God of War doesn’t just feel like the next step for the franchise, but for the entire video game industry. Phenomenal visuals, rewarding exploration, and a deep, nuanced combat system contribute to an epic adventure that should be experienced by every human on earth. Santa Monica Studio is taking us all to Valhalla."

Yeah thats the big ones, its like Breath of the Wild.....  Thats the last game that really had words like that spoken about it.

Very high score, indeed. Congrats to the developers.

Has it been Jim Sterling's turn already? Imagine, what if he gave it a 7/10 (even if it wouldn't affect the score)?

He doesn't do reviews anymore so it'll have to be someone else.



Signature goes here!

Oh okay, thanks.



The game is now the second best 94 on metacritics, so its very close to becoming a 95.

I am happy for Santa Monica and while I want more God of War given this new lease on life I do hope they get the opportunity to make a new IP as well.



I would say the reviews are even harsher this generation than previous. I mean Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 is the second best game of all time by metacritic standards. Those games I think would be hard to survive bland reviews these days.



So this will probably be the best PS4 exclusive of the entire gen. Nice work by Santa Monica studios. Along with Naughty Dog and Guerilla Games Sony has a really solid collection of first party studios. Anyway I look forward to playing this masterpiece.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Whoever Photoshopped that smile in.... that is creepy lol.

 

*edit:
since we re posting pictures, remember when there where people saying it was downgraded from E3 footage? Thats obviously not true.
