    Hack and Slash and More of the Same

    So, GoW3. Yeah, not much to say. It's a hack and slasher with Epic (and infested with quicktime events) boss fights. I dont really enjoy hack and slash games, but there was so much hype with God of War 3, so I went and rented it. Well it was incredibly good looking and had a scale I have never seen in games, all running beautifully on the PS3. Thats the good. Here's the bad: Hacky Slashy, boring boring boring. And there's Quicktime events, what the fuck is with quicktime events (granted they make the boss fights a little better) but there's one problem: they're all the fuck over the place, and they're godawfully boring. The puzzles are boring and detract severly from the gameplay, dragging it down. The story was kind of interesting, but it seems like Kratos does way to much falling into hades and he's your usual bodybuilding protagonist who has literally no emotion, the voice acting is some of the worst I've ever heard. It's borderline hilarious how Kratos constantly murders people who help him too and its also fucking rediculous. There's also a sex minigame which is where i realized this game was made for the gamers who are just going through puberty and anything with tits slapped on it sells as good as MW2. So in short I would have said this game was shit, but I loved the bossfights and scale so much it gets a 2.5/5. THATS IT YES I DONT LIKE THIS GAME. Personal opinion, but play something worthwhile dont waste time or money on this.

      A funny thing happened a few hours into God of War III: it became really, really amazing. Perhaps it was the over hyping of the first 30 minutes that so many previews had gushed about. Perhaps it was the considerable increase in hack’n’slashery that I had done this year. Maybe it was even the incredibly misguided Platinum trophy runs of Dante’s Inferno that I had done, but I just was not into this game at all. The giant bosses, the same combat I had played with twice before, and the puzzles whic...

       Please note - This review and the videos being shown may contain spoilers, so read and watch at your own risk if you have not beaten the game yet. The God of War franchise has been unrivaled in terms of pushing the action genre and the Playstation consoles to their limits with amazing graphics, an epic sense of scale, memorable battles against foes that are way bigger than Kratos, the Ghost of Sparta, and one of the best theatrical scores in the gaming business. God of War III has been a long t...
