Game informer god of war ascension

Where's Sessler's interest in pulling apart the gratuitous sex and violence too, to help protect those that might find it offensive? And the fact that it caused Sony to change the title, just shows how much damage these misguided and idiotic these journalists can do to games. I agree that these sites exist to feed off us, and that's exactly my point. They're just relaying garbage and following the crowd rather than reflecting on the game as a standalone experience by its own merits.

Factually speaking, it's even better and offers more. To make things clear. Its the sign of a great game. I'm just looking at double standards, downright inaccuracies and overwhelming personal opinion on reviews, these days, that are meant to advise a wide audience rather than those that might personally be sick of the series.

People bashing God of War for the inclusion of multiplayer? If anything, that should increase the score and replay value of the game.

I yet to play this game myself besides the Beta and SP demo. But I did say when multiplayer was reveled, it might be the main reason why the SP might suffer. I'm getting this game Friday,I haven't looked at any trailers nor did I play the demo. My body is ready for this game. Why is everyone upset about an 8? It is a good score and if you like the game or a fan of the series, ignore the Metacritic scores, currently at 79 btw, and go play the game and enjoy it.

Some of the best games this generation IMO isn't reflected upon scores, like lost odyssey was just avg in scoring, but I enjoyed the heck out of it and played it 2 times already. I will get this game because I am a fan of the series and I'll enjoy the game for what it is. This game should have starred human kratos transforming into the ghost of sparta, not shortly after.

God of War: Ascension PS3 gameinformer. The story is too old to be commented. Agree 18 Disagree 5. Derekvinyard13 d ago That's the only problem, it's not as good as god of war 3, GOW 3 has to be one of the best games this gen it had excellent pacing and a great revenge tale that was executed perfectly Agree 16 Disagree 6. HammadTheBeast d ago I think it was made as a small addition to God of War, a cooler, more calmed down experience to ease out the PS3.

Abriael Orchard JamieReleases You'll see basically what the boss does with it, which is very, very similar to the things you can do. You are able to adjust the world by taking an object from pristine to rubble or rubble to pristine. If somebody is coming at you and you're feeling surrounded then you can pop one of those off and it allows you to free yourself and get out of it and figure out how you want to get back into the fight.

So for example, if you have the Elephantaur and you've got a bunch of grunts around you, you're going to maybe put the Elephantaur in stasis so he's moving around real slow and then that allows you to clear out some of the grunts or vice versa. You choose to put the grunts into the stasis moment and then you're really able to focus on that Elephantaur. How will it work on environments?

As far as levels go, you saw a very light puzzle where you can take the dock that had been wrecked and take it to completion, and once it was taken to completion there was no way for you to get up. So you'd have to life cycle it back down to a stop point — we can have as many stop points as we want, but we want to make sure that the player has clear points that they can stop at.

We wanted to be sure that the players don't get frustrated. So that's kind of the process behind why we put the stop points there and then you can see where it can be used in a puzzle.

If I have an object and I'm trying to get through a wall or something like that, I can life cycle a wall and then I can push an object through and then I can life cycle back. You can see how we can build puzzles off of this one mechanic and it would feel fresh and new compared to anything that we've done before. It has been rumored for a long time that Kratos might venture off into other mythologies.

Did you guys consider that this time around? I wanted to answer the question that we started with, it was basically, let's stay in the Greek mythos. To me, if we're ever going to come out with something that goes to other mythologies or something like that, then it needs time to percolate. For example, you look at The Last of Us. The directors on that game, they didn't work on Uncharted 3. They worked on The Last of Us and probably started it pretty damn close to when they finished Uncharted 2.

To create new IPs and do complete overhauls to franchises and stuff like that you need time. Come on, figure stuff out! Do you think the God of War franchise will ever head in that direction? I don't know. I mean, frankly, ideally after this one, yeah, we get to put it down for a while and I get to take a nice vacation laughs , so I won't have to think about it. I think that, if anything, that's something that we need to weigh, you know?

That would be something that we'd really need to sit down and think about and boil down to the essence of God of War. If we take out one of those pillars, does it make the game better or should we be doing this? Join Sign In. Post Tweet Email. Post Tweet Email. Follow Us. God Of War.

If this is your first venture into the world of Kratos, Atreus, and the rest of the gods, be sure to check out our review of one of 's best games where we say: Kratos' reinvention serves as a narrative hook, but it also parallels the series' evolution as a whole; where God of War once relied on bombast and bloodlust, now it leaves space for strategy and nuance.
