E3 2012: God of War Ascension Demo

I don't think that Kraken has ever played a God of War game, you never expose your tentacles to Kratos.

The eternal battle between Giant Bomb and the Electronic Three rages on.

Noo what the fuck Santa Monica? Don't split the elephant's cranium open. You do that with monster men, not with elephant men so stop that shit.

Also, love the angry face, but what is up with the effect afterwards, or lack thereof.

I didn't play GoW 3, but since when does Kratos save lives?

As much as I've loved every other God of War game, I still don't think we need another at all.

How can Kratos have time turning powers now, before meeting the Fates? Why was that never mentioned in GoWII? And why is there an elephant man? Where are those in Greek mythology?

Why must people go out of their way to find things to complain about?

It's a new God of War game, it looks beautiful, and it looks fun. I will buy it, because I know I will enjoy it.

I mean seriously, people complain about a NEW God of War, but when someone makes a NEW IP to compete with it they say "God of War rip off!"

It's like some people just don't want videogames to exist anymore.

I'm right there with you. This game looks awesome. I think the multiplayer will be fun for about a week, but hopefully it will be good for longer. I can't wait for this game to come out, and I'm surprised that they already announced the release date. I can't wait for this!

Gotta admit, that was pretty awesome. Really liking some of the new combat additions, doesn't look quite as good as GoW3 though, that being said, it's a long way off from being finished. Can they finally give us a decent survival/mission mode this time too, that's something every action game should have and GoW would benefit greatly from it.

I love of the spectacle of god of war games. Combat looks the same old, same old, but no doubt I will play this. Some great games coming out of this E3, I am legitimately surprised.

These graphics look a bit cartoonier than GoW 3, not complaining, I think it looks cool

The enemy designs look kind of stupid, but I like the combat refinements that have been made. Not expecting much from the story but everything else seems to be in order.

It doesn't mater if it's the past, present, or future Kratos is still angry.

I guess people are excited about this game? I got bored after God of War 2. No plot development, no reason to give a damn about the characters, and the same damn combo system with no engaging complexity.

And press the giant "O" button to off a guy. Great?

After playing the crazy stupid Ninja Blade and loving the breadth of Asura's Wrath (making me actually care about an always angry dude), why even invest in this series? The only time I was effected by this series was the first PSP title (which I still say was the best, those GAUNTLETS!) and..

You forcefully push away your own daughter for your vengeance. It defines the character like nothing else in the series did. It was actually remorseful to do so. I actually cared about Kratos.

But now, it's just KRATOS ANGRY! KRATOS SMASH! And in 3...

... They couldn't even kill him off. Finish an evil that has destroyed everything for black emotions. Nope,... "oh wait, he could be alive... so SEQUELS!"

Bad character, bad series.
