i have had a PS3 for a while and never played any of the series. Always just saw it as a hack and slash with some puzzles. Is it that good

@Abyssfull: The comments on this thread begs the differ. Also, shitting all over a popular game is very much the hip thing to do. you got a problem with the GOW game don't buy them. I know anything out of the Santa Monica guys will be awesome and will sell millions of copies and no matter how you and anyone else will bitch about is going to change that.

...That's my response? You basically retreading exactly what you said in the first place... Tsch. I guess that should a game make millions, we are hereby exempt from any sort of discussion, so says Mr Mordukai. Oh, well!

Discussion, RIIIIIIGHT!

I love how people(mosly 360 fans with green names) are complaining about beating a dead horse yet they buy every Halo that comes out with the same basic story and repeat/remodeled levels.

or every assassins creed with same crap every time.

@Mjdemon: Yes, they are quite spectacular. You have to at least play # 3. The Intensity level is through the roof.

The first five were a fun bunch but at this point I feel I've had enough of the God of War franchise. I'm sure it will still be excellent, I would have rather seen a new IP from them instead though.

Yeah, I guess it's down to my own folly that anything constructive could of been built on what began as ''people hate popular things to be hip, THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS NEIN NEIN NEIN'' and ''fuck em''.

@Abyssfull: Sure thing Tex. Now I see you have some anger issues to go through and you're pretty much stuck on the whole "hip" issue so lets agree to disagree and leave it at that before this gets personal. Play the game, don't play the game, I really don't care. but you know what?! I am in a good mood so I'll give you this one.

You're right, I'm wrong,

Happy now? Will this make you get off my ass?

I don't know how I feel about this. I loved GoW 1 and 2, as well Chains of Olympus, but by the end of 3 I was ready to be done with Kratos. Hell, I still have to play Ghost of Sparta which I bought near launch and still haven't played. I guess I'll wait and see how or if they change it up this time.

Nice, play the condescending card to make it appear like you're apparently above all this or something. I'm not angry, though I am frustrated at how bone idle you are; I levy valid criticisms against a franchise you're in bed with, and well... fuck em! It's not like I was pressing you, demanding that my views are somehow 'fact' or whatever, making the little sarcastic ''you're right, I'm wrong'' shtick entirely random... so again, you're plucking at straws and trying to make it appear as if I'm the petty one here. Naive, sure, considering I had hoped you'd give any sort of mature response.

I mean really, what are we ''agreeing to disagree'' here anyway? This all started because you said that people only hate on GoW because they're ''hip''... I merely called you out on your delusional fanboyism and explained in detail why the GoW franchise should be looked down upon in some respects. And then it lead to you doing... whatever the Hell this is.

I really wish that I had a PS3 now i may go and buy one soon just so i can play all of the God of War games they just look so good.

@Sackmanjones: Yeah but this is a prequel so he has sex with men.

God I'm tired of this sequel driven industry.

I'm super excited for this!

I'm not a HUGE god of war fan, but that being said i think God of War 3 was one of the 20 best games I played on the PS3 so far. (i havent really played the others and didnt like GoW #1)

That being said, I found it really weird when on one of the podcasts Jeff especially, but the rest of the guys as well, poo-pooed the idea of the new game. Like "been there done that to death". They sighed and were like "yeah mumble mumble, didn't they already do all the plots already?" But for me, I didn't really play the first 2, and they were last gen (even if released in a collection on PS3), and the other 2 were PSP games which also do not count as "this gen" games. So really there is only 1 real PS3 god of war, I may try the others in the collections, but Im sure many did of us not play the PSP versions. And yet those guys seem fine that there are way more Halo games (like 5 of the just on the 360 alone), and 3 Gears of War with maybe more on the way on just the one system. At least GoW is spread out over 3 systems. Why can't Sony do 2 GoW games on the PS3? i really don't see that as overkill, even if they did make 2 back on the ps2, heck Ratchet and Clank is still worse than that if they want to complain about "over saturation". Even if they just made the old games with modern graphics i'd probably be more tempted to go back and play em (and again you guys didn't complain when Halo did it). Just weird for game guys to be so cynical about an alright franchise, its not hurting them to have another one come out, and none of the games have been bad.
