The level of God of War hate on this site shocks me.

"Not liking" isn't equal to "hating". Some people don't like RPGs, but that doesn't mean they hate them.

Going by the number of bugs in oblivion and bugs/crashes of FO3 ive witnessed on my ps3, 'quality assurance' is what seems to make bethesda employees really feel faint, great games but ffs do your job. No wonder he is looking forward to other titles, probably getting fed up of rebooting his system.

I'd suggest getting the patch then.

I've had no problems with FO 3 after more than 50 hours with multiple playthroughs.

That said, I wish Bethsoft didn't have a knack of putting buggy games on shelves and patching them later.

Well that's because PS3 owners keep on waiting and waiting for the Chosen One that would lead the PS3 to the Promised Land of Top Selling Current Gen Console.  Don't worry one day they will learn to appreciate the quality games on the console rather than constantly anticipating the game that will take the PS3 from selling 10 million a year to selling 25 million a year. 

I was honestly disappointed with the premiere trailer, really looked like all they did was make Kratos looked like he had body oiled rubbed on him, he just looked shiny and that was it.

Still, God Of war 3 will be epically rated and bought even if it was just GoW2 HD.

That I will do when i play through the game next time, its a bit of a catch 22, while its great that this generation of console can get the updates, the downside is lazy developers use it to their advantage by cutting down on before sales testing. My real bug bear is oblivion, for a game to be out that long and still have issues that they refuse to fix because its 'not a priority', especially when it is really irritating ones like the vampirism in the GOTY edition, its pretty arrogant and unprofessional imo.

Very bold statement to make. But thats for another thread.

OT: Yes any GOW game is a good thing. GOW is a very good series. I enjoyed the 1st and the 2nd. Bring it on.
