God of War: Anyone here picked it up yet?

Recommended Posts

It came out yesterday, and I just now went to EB and picked the game up. I just noticed that this is the #5 ranked game of all time on GameRankings, and the #1 ranked PS2 game. I'm about to dive into it, so I'll post what I think about it pretty soon. Until then, who here has had a go with it?

 

Sincerely,

...Downhome...

It is frickin' AWESOME.

 

And bloody difficult.

 

Not DMC3 levels of difficulty, but it is insanely good.

I've been watching my roommate play it, and it looks pretty damn cool. I don't normally like that kind of game, but it looks like enough fun that I might try it when he's done.

It's only just been released, give everyone else a chance to review it and the score will bottom out a little. Not take away how good or bad this game may or may not be, but that score is based on a bare minimum of reviews thus far.

 

It's not even ON any release date lists here in Australia, so God knows when we'll end up getting it. Seems all the good ones have Snake Eater syndrome, arriving in Oz six months later than everywhere else.

Oh I know that, I was just stating how it stood at the time I made this topic. At a time the latest Ratchet & Clank game was in the same posistion. It will remain a high score though, very high, it's a great game.

 

I have only played it up to the point where we see our first tit shots, and I stopped right there because my nieces were in my room and I didn't feel right playing the game with them in here. I didn't really read anything about the game except just looking at the scores, so I didn't know about the nudity or anything, I just thought it got an M rating because of the violence and everything.

 

Anyway, none of that bothers me, it fits the mood of the game perfectly. I started playing, and I was having fun, but it just seemed like any other action type game of this sort. You know, like DMC or something. But then I started fooling around with the different actions you can do, kills, etc... and I started to like it even more.

 

Then, I got to the part where you have the first "mini-game", and it hooked me in right then and there. I can't put into words how cool that is to me. It is a fantastic way to have you fight those larger enemies. It was one of the greatest HOLY SHIT moments I've ever had in a game. Then game the battle on the ship, against those three dragon type things, I forget what they are called right now, but that was just amazing. I can't wait to really get into this game, and I'll do so soon.

What type of game is this? FPS, Strategy?

Third person action. Insane third-person action. With tons of blood.

 

And tits. Lots of tits.

Ok, what the hell? I just found the oddest mini-game ever in a video game. I thought I'd turn my game back on, and I'm back where these two chicks are in the bed naked, and I thought maybe I could talk to them to get information or something. After worthless talking, I tried to hit them and kill them but it wouldn't let me, so I jumped on the bed to try and grab them to kill them but I could do it there either, but it said to press O to start one of the mini-games. I did it, thinking it would be a special kill or something, and as I pressed the buttons as it told me to, the camera moved over to the side so that you can just see the bed stand, and my character was fucking both of the chicks, with the sounds of the women having an orgasm and everything.

 

I'm, well, I'm in awe. Thank God I stopped playing it earlier. I don't know how I would have explained that to my neices, heh.

Huh, Huh, Huh... you said tits

 

Actually this game seems really cool... when I am done with MGS 3 and I can sell it back to Game Crazy (closest game purchaser in my town) I will pick it up. Anytime a game has endless killing and gore and blood... along with boobs, definately color me interested.

 

When combat fighting, do you just mash the buttons (which I like, I never was good at fighting games which require skill) or do you need to be able to tap triangle-square-circle-square to make the guy move forward? Just would like to know what type of game play I can expect.

I'm sure this game is really good, but nudity and sex in a video game is really fucking lame. I understand if it's used for comedy, like in the old Leisure Suit Larry games, but in a "serious" game to be used for titillation.........come on.

The commercials caught my attention and the reviews are reading well- so I might pick it up after I beat Manhunt. (Yeah I recently got it).

Right...because historically I'm sure all chamber maidens wore parkas.

Well I've started it and I must say that despite the warnings, I was somewhat surprised at the little minigame before you hit Athens. Still a fun game. The hydra was a fun fight. It isn't DMC hard, but definitely challenging.

I'm surprised you were more offended by the action of sex with the nude women than by killing them.

I wasn't offended by it, I just didn't see the reason for it to be in the game. It's pretty pointless to me, and seems tacked on just for shits and giggles.

I beat this game on the regular difficulty and had a decent enough time playing it. I wouldn't mind playing sequel somewhere down the road.

 

I found these links on Gamefaqs for anyone who's interested.

Man in the imperial campaign the Senate demanded I have my leader commit suicide- I said no and now it's more or less the world against me. But I'm managing.

You must have beaten it on God-Mode for that to happen.

I'm at the final battle now, but I don't even feel like going through with it. It's not "hard" to me, it's just nerve wrecking in my opinion. It's not as fun as most of the game up to this point, ugh.

 

It's my only gripe with the entire game.

Oh, shit, yeah. Boy my face is red.

 

But I am going to pick up God of War soon.

I beat it last night. Very good. I was especially impressed with the story. It felt kind of small though. The length was decent but in terms of actual progression you didn't really do that much. Like the search for Pandora's Box was basically 50% of the game.

 

I could have lived without the nudity.
