i love how skin color and ethnicity is determined as per quantitative measurement, and gender, apparently, is more incipient in it's denotation. leave it to the asian culture to push through their agenda of duplicitous sexuality and androgyny.

what a bunch of unsophisticated twits that thought up that gameplay mechanic. Divinci WAS a creator/designer, why the hell would he need blueprints in the first place?

@manathirst said: " Wow, this game feels like a movie. "...a really a bad movie.   Whoever gets lulled into thinking these heavily cinematic presentations make for good games need to stop drinking the cool-aid. Gameplay is the only thing that matters, and so long as they tightened and "deregulated" the potential for ridiculous in-game exploits (mismatched perks, close combat sniper rifles) it'll be solid. Spare the hyperbole however.

Not that anyone here would give a flip, but that is some seriously atrocious dialogue. Superficial and trite, and so ostensibly desperate in its attempt to chase down those Tarantino "accents."

I just thought of a great idea for Harmonix. For the next Rock Band game, they should include the QVC panel as a stage. What's more rock 'n roll than shilling out to stay-at-home soccer moms with disposable incomes. Oh, and one of new ways to boost your multiplier could be nailing a sequence and going into rock star mode in unison to the shameless pitch voice-over. Yeah, that ought ...

I don't know about that font...

Well, that franchise is over. I knew it the very moment I saw the guy detonate a grenade by shooting it in slow-mo. I am being serious when I ask this (and a bit narcissistic I admit), does this really for anyone? Seriously, because I know it was a progressive problem which didn't immediately occur overnight, but when did "epic" become such an appealing aesthetic--for everything it seems. This larger ...

Let me explain something, and hopefully this should be poignantly, if not at least somewhat clear to most: ALL games are inherently "cinematically" referential by their very construction. If it wasn't for cinema in the first place, particularly it's structure and form of visual storytelling, we'd all probably be playing pong--and probably not even that--albeit a technologically more advanced version. I'm sure we could even transgress a bit and observe ...

What a fucking shill this guy is. No, a lot of it was NOT about how "inappropriate"  it was or the goddamn wu-tang jokes, it was, IN FACT the result of many half-baked gameplay mechanics that either were too unresponsive or simply flat out didn't work, presented in the context of what was toted by EA to be the next revolution in co-op gameplay (slick fucking paint job man). I'm ...

dear god the hud looks absolutely atrocious.  is that a new trend now with modern-day shooters, to streamline all visual interfaces with a jarring palette of primary colors and gawdy icons?  gameplay aside, this looks like it was designed for a chimp.

this is absolutely unconscionable.  after such a display of unsupressed power, why would any of the other characters in the game try to fight this guy with conventional weapons?  i know that's not a question one should be asking with a game like this, but is too much to ask for a game to have a brain as well?  this is just big dumb, pretty boom-boom.

perhaps this trailer isn't the best representation of what the "god of war" series in it's totality, but i still don't get the popularity.  gameplay mechanics aside, everthing about these games looks contrived and played out.  "god of war" has, and will most likely continue to look like the work of someone who had a feigning interest in greek mythology, but only enough to coincide with their ipod structured brain; which for the sake ...
