Game Discussion of the Week: God of War series

Added and stickied.

At first I was confused because this was not Ares, or even Mars, but no body cares, after all, Kratos is an angry character, so the profile fits right for him.

God Of War 2 is my favorite on the series. That first segment was mind blowing at the time, with the giant colossus of Rhodes attacking you.



In fact, the first 2 games feel like they were made by Capcom or something, it is weird, so it doesn't surprise me they accepting the publishing.

The PSP ones look really good on 3D. I have the PS3 versions of those, Ghost Of Sparta, and Chains Of Olympus, that supposedly take place before the first 2, and they both look fantastic with the 3D effect. It feels like you are from the future visiting that world.

For some reason 3 didn't grab me. It is not a bad game by any means, I do have the PS3 and the remastered PS4 version, but I think there were so many other games that took my attention instead. I still want to go back, and revisit it.

Ascension was shinny and had a lot of special effects, it was supposed to take place even before both Chronicles games. I wanted to finish it, but I also was distracted replaying other games, now that's another game I need to revisit.

It honestly looked very impressive visually when it came out. I believe it was around 37GB on the PS3 which was unheard of at the time, but for some reason I felt the adventure wasn't as fun as the previous games, and I guess that's when they started to notice they needed to switch the formula a little bit.

The new game took a complete turn, even going to Norse mythology which was completed unexpected, and the gameplay is very different too, but still has some similar aspects.

I like the new game, but there are more fun things to play. I don't think that game has any noticeable flaws, they really worked at it. You can definitely get enjoyment out of it.

You can tell these games are made by the beach. These and the Naughty Dog games feel Californian in every single way, even when they are all different.

These games are basically TV shows now with a big movie production value, but at least this one has a lot of gameplay to enjoy. I will try to finish it as well, I just need to be in the mood for it.

Perhaps the sword and slasher that made the perfect mix of cinematic, combat, and not a stupid camera.

Absolutely, I remember I used to dislike the concept, but rhythm games made me like it again. Now I like those mechanics.
