ZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

Just picked up Ascension. Got it for 12 bucks used and that's about what it is worth. I'm at the temple at Delphi, and so far this game is kind of boring me. Does it get better? I still think 2 is the best overall, the last PSP one was pretty good too.

i wanted to play the psp games, but i only managed to play chains of olympus before selling my psp. ghost of sparta was looking pretty cool.

also god of war 3 was okay, but it feels forgettable compared to he first two. you would think that killing zeus would stick in your mind for a while, but it was just "eh".

1 was a pretty cool game, I played it on the second highest diff (I think). It ran out of steam at some point during the second game though. Way too repetitive.

god of war is relatively cool. it is a nice and relaxing third person action game where you can just do stupid combos and win. i beat 1 2 and 3 and the first psp one. ascension is really boring.

I know how he feels.
2 had some good boss fights and an okay time gimmick. subweapons were a lot better, too.

3 was cool for casting kevin sorbo as hercules. i can't really remember any of the gods' deaths besides helios and hephaestus.

it should have done those other possible plots that the first game teased instead of making kratos games over and over.

it's pretty funny to see hosed up versions of greek heroes, though.

They might be doing this, no joke. http://www.kpopstarz.com/articles/104254/20140816/god-of-war-4-ps4-release-date.htm

But ya, the anime'd up Greek heroes are pretty amusing. I thought Sorbo reprising Hercules was cool as well. The best boss death has to be Theseus though.


Holy poo poo hahaha.

Came to post this. In the first game you have an QTE threesome that gives xp and it happens in the initial five minutes. God of War owned.

Psh, you can't even ruthlessly slaughter them after you extract the red orbs from their vaginas, major fail IMO.

id say deny because its not really trying to be a dmc style game. its just a relatively mindless action game. its fun for what it is

Let me take you for a ride.
Kratos died for our sins in 3, he is a very angry jesus. 3 was just ridiculous, biblibical plagues were all because of Kratos, story really took a turn for the crazy. Ascension was a big dissapoontment, it was the best looking one by far, and had some cool boss battles, but the combat was lovely, and thats by god of war standards. They added a combo meter that rewarded you for avoiding getting hit, but they made parrying alot harder to pull off, and you couldnt cancel out of your combat animations with a roll, so it turned the game into an annoying slog.

5 out of 6 good games aint bad though, 2 was def the best.

I bought the PS3 Origins Collection, the PS3 GOW 1 and 2 Collection, and GOW 3 at that Gamestop sale for like 10 dollars or something.

I really should finish them one of these days.

I actually did play 1 and 2 and thought they were good but this was like seven years ago and it may have been due to me being a retarded teenager. Haven't touched the series since then. May give it a go again one day.
