Forums - Sony Discussion - The Official God of War III Thread - In the end, there will only be chaos !

I spent about 3 hours on the final Labyrinth fight on Chaos! ^^ Is that a new record!?!? Hahahahaha! It felt good when I did it though, but damn, the game was so unfair at times! And the Cestus targeting is still sucky! But the weapon is soooooooooooooooooo cooooool! Love the game, bad targeting or not (L) GOW3 (L)

^yeah I know, but even when they praise it, they complain about it being "too familiar", and other reviews (those who score it less than 9) make it very clear is one of the LOW points of the game, and it's definitely one of their points to knock down the score. Why? it's quite rare to see a sequel where gameplay and style is very different from the previous game. Even MGS4 isn't that different from the 3rd, Uncharted 2 is basically the same as the first one, same thing happens with all GTA games, those games got VERY high scores (I'm not complaining about Gow3 clritical reception) and I don't remember among all those 100s and high 90s (less the rare 80s) complaining because it was "the same".

I wonder what's with all the SHIT people (and most reviewers) say about games (and in this case GOW3) being NOT SO DIFFERENT from the previous game(s) ???????????


Can someone explain to me? I

IS THAT UNCOMMON to use the same -succesful- formula, keeping the style and gameplay elements that made a game worthy of praise and succesful ?

Reviewers also complain if they change the core gameplay of certain games (cough-phlegm-Final Fantasy 13-cough). Some people are just big whiners. Damned if you do, dammed if you don't.

What about games like FPS? the Halos, Call of Duty of this world. Are they reinventing the wheel with each sequel? HONESTLY I BET YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HALO 3 and ODST, between MW1 and MW2 buy looking at them side by side!!! They're the same!

What's so different about GTA? At their core, they're exactly the same. Big City, you're a gun for hire, you got your map and find locations and do errands all the fucking game, steal cars, whatever you add is just seasoning, the game is same old same.

How come those games get away with that HMMMM???

It's because reviewers are hypocrites.



I have a question though. The first trailer we saw of GOW3, why isn't that in the game. That scene looked soo epic. Oh, and I just spent 5 or 6 hours fighting the Ceberus on Chaos, hehe. I always hated those enemies and that battle was horrible...



Added autoplaying main theme to the first page of the thread !

Whos awesome ?

Don't generalise like that. Just because IGN, GameSpot and Edge can't review to save their lives, doesn't mean that we all suck.

Fuck these reviewers...
Metascore dropped to 92... I don't understand how a perfect game can score 92...



Am I the only one who kept beating Zeus for 5 minutes by the end of the game?? I only stopped due to muscle twitches



 

oh and for these annoying ass goats, I usually use Hades' claw to summon gorgon soul or just cheap them with the whip's triangle spamming.

1) No game is perfect.

2) 92 is a fantastic score.

3) Why, exactly, do you care what they think?
