Poll of the Day > So now that God of war has a 95 metacritic score

(+) Yeah! (+)

I am super stocked for this game and I would have gotten it even if it was a 70 metacritic score. I love the series and I am glad it got so many great reviews. I got it pre-ordered and can't wait for it to drop.

Let me guess...

The next major PS4 exclusive will get a 98 Metacritic score.

Spiderman for PS4 will be GOTY, since a PS4 exclusive is always highly rated.

I don't get it either. I like the PS4 as much as the next guy, but the scores may be a little too high for what games are there for that. Maybe I am missing something from that, or maybe its the cinematic presentation from all of their exclusives or something.

Still getting it though.

Nope, just not my type of game. Couldn't give ratings/review scores too much serious thought.

I don't give a shit about Spider-Man lol I never really played the games. I am just a huge God of War fan and glad it is doing great.

God of War was a decent series, but it was always Devil May Cry Jr.

In DMC you had to know every move, and when to use each move. There were penalties for just button mashing. You couldn't just cheese your way thru it, even in easy mode.

GoW had a huge moveset, but 95% of the game was square square square triangle. You could get away with button mashing for minutes to hours. GoW 2 switched it up a bit when they added the shield carriers that made you use triangle triangle triangle square for the 5% of that one level. Otherwise, the huge moveset was still wasted because you could just spam the game end to end more or less.

Dante will always outrank Kratos when it comes down to game play.

Have you seen the new God of war gameplay? It's totally different then what it used to be. Basically seems like they dudes the last of us with darksouls. You should take a look of you ahvenr seen the revamped gameplay.

I was done at 3, and turning GoW into another damn Uncharted mod kills my interest in it.

So you're trying to sell me on the game with even more QTE and more drawn out corridors full of meatshields that are just as succeptible to spam?

Meh.

Until I see Kratos rocking something like the Beowulf in a Royal Guard style it's always going to be the dumbed down version of a DMC game.

No interest in an action game that runs at 30 fps, and according to the one review I read it struggles to maintain even that at times. A high frame rate isn't essential in every genre, but this is one of them.

Uncharted

I wanted to love the Uncharted series for what it was, but once I realized that the enemies were programmed to dodge the crosshairs to the point where I could pin the last one down behind an obstacle indefinitely by never letting off the aim, another meh.

Eh, I was just saying the gameplay is completely new lol they went a different route. If your issue was comparing it to devil may cry, then so be it. But it doesn't play like a hack and slash anymore.

This is the video that got me hyped. But I mean, everyone has different tastes. I don't expect you to like it just because I do.

I expect there will be a definitive edition like there was with Horizon: Zero Dawn. No sense in buying the game twice.
---

I'm a no, but I can't vote because there isn't an option for me. Somewhere between the second and third from the bottom options.
---

I've never been much of a fan of the series. If it somehow found it's way to me, I'd play it though.
---

I enjoyed the first one, but it completely satisfied my desire to play more of them.

Rest in Peace Breath of the Wild
---

My dad preordered it.

The literal only reason I'll play it is to be able to accurately tear it apart to see if my predictions were right or not.
---

didn't care about the series before, care even less now. idk what it is, but the advertisement just bugs me, and walking into gamestop and seeing them talk it up just felt gross. not necessarily just with GoW, but everything else too. i'm just kinda done with all this shit.
