Your Opinion on God of War?

 What is your opinion on the game?
 
My opinion on the game: 
It is a very nice looking game. Over the top violence. Sometimes very silly. Awful dialogue with some poor voice actors. Poor story. Hilarious pre-rendered cut scenes. Some neat enemy ideas. 
Good hack and slash/beat 'em up action. Sometimes poor platforming. Overwhelmingly repetitive. 
 
Sometimes I feel like this game is one of those titles that tries very hard to be better than a movie. Because of that, it forgets to try harder at being a better game. 
 Actually, this is what I think of most of the series. And pretty much every other game coming out these days. 

I've only played the first, and think I prefer Dante.

ARG I'M MAD OVER NOTHING HEY LOOK A TOPLESS WOMAN I'MMA BANG HER

God of War 3 has some high tier Hollywood actors, definitely some of the better acting in games...
 
I didn't like GoW1 and 2 so much, but I enjoyed GoW3 quite a bit.  Never felt tedious or too repetitive.  I do remember feeling that a lot in GoW1.

I find them way too short and mindless, and I've thought so ever since I played the first one back when it launched and beat it in one day -_- I find the 3rd game is the worst though. If I were to rank them, it'd be 2,1,3. But still, that's not saying much because they're still short, mindless hack and slashers. 
 
I also find that the series lives off it's reputation of being "badass". That is not enough to warrant me playing a game... 
 
I guess I prefer DMC like games more. Mainly Just DMC and Bayonetta.

Shit, your standards are pretty damn high, aren't they? I've never played 3, but 1,2 and Chains of Olympus had pretty damn good stories and consistently above average voice acting. They must have completely changed that in 3 for you to say that. "

It was kind of a joke.  "

It's as good as beat-em-ups get. It's as good as Quick Time Events get. It's as violent as games get.
 
Everything the game is, it is to an extreme. Still, when I play it, no matter how mind-blowing it's Mythological Greece setting is, I can't seem to not find it a repetitive experience.

Oh snap, Quick time events, forgot about them.
 
They're not too bad in GoW but, It's certainly better then Conan.

It's fun and cinematic and beautiful the first time. All other times, the unskippable cutscenes are almost deal-breakers. The gameplay, on the other hand, is the saving grace - deep and entertaining enough to endure the long-ass cutscenes.

The ending was a bit of a letdown but I love the series and always will.

I only played God of War 2, but it's not my type of game so I didn't enjoy it very much. I can see the appeal though.
