God Of War: Ascension Multiplayer Beta Impressions [Capsule Computers]

Zac Elawar from Capsule Computers wrote:

Multiplayer in a God of War game…some people just can’t grasp how that works. Some think it can’t be anything but a tacked on mode that they will undoubtedly overlook in favour of the tried-and-true single-player campaign. Well, we recently received an invite to the closed God of War: Ascension multiplayer beta and have some impressions that will hopefully alleviate those fears. We delayed this posting so that we could get some hands-on time with the third match-type featured – Capture the Flag, which was only added two days ago.

Interesting. I didn't expect this game to be very good.

futurefrog4123d ago

never liked god of war always found it boring

stonecold34123d ago

if your bored why are you doing this article then?

BX814123d ago

Yeah I agree. I tried almost every gow game and just thought it was lame as hell hack and slashing over and over again, with an occasional mini sex game thrown in. I then tried GOW3 on the PS3 and it is easily in my top 10 games of all time. I will always recommend that game to anyone who has a PS3!

th3n00bg4m3r4123d ago

Boring? It is a very fast-paced and violent game, how can it be boring?

GribbleGrunger4123d ago

You wait hours for a troll and three come all at once

ZacE4123d ago

Haha, man God of War gets no love?!

HammadTheBeast4122d ago

Yeah, and they're not even high quality ones. You're hoping for the ones that you call up, hand a couple hundred, then get for the night, yet what you get is the fat girl in leather on the street corner.

kingjoker344122d ago

I dont find how they are trolling, they are simply stating their opinion. They are not saying it is what YOU think, but what they think. All they said was that they didnt like one franchise so they are automatically trolls now? that makes no sense -.-

masterabbott4123d ago

i like god of war but lets hope the multiplayer is actually fun to play. from reading this hands on it looks like santa monica studios has done some hard work on making it playable and enjoyable and its not just another tacked on addition to the game.

r214123d ago

It certainly is something. They're bringing multiplayer to a hack and slash. The only other game I know that has done that was NG3 and it's MP as i heard was horrible. GoW: A seems to have made it work. Props to SSM :D

Knushwood Butt4123d ago

I seem to remember people had the same fears for Uncharted when UC2 got multiplayer.

BX814123d ago

Yeah but those fears were answered with Uncharted 3's multiplayer. lol.

IAmLee4123d ago

They 'apperently' tried to make it similar to 'Power Stone', Which if that's the case, is fucking awesome.

God Of War Tried Multiplayer Too Early

God of War's forgotten multiplayer mode was introduced nearly a decade ago, but it may have been a great addition if it was implemented now.

Ruined Ascensions story mode. Taking away the one button parry sucked.

abstractel511d ago

Not saying it was perfect but I really enjoyed it. One of the more unique MP experiences. Wouldn't mind them trying again.

Palitera511d ago

It was nuts that they actually managed to make that experience work so well.
The story might have been the weakest (story-wise) in the main series, but the MP was super fun and well done.

hotnickles510d ago

I don’t play god of war for the multiplayer so it’s always too soon in my book.

Ranking the God of War Games

Kratos has been on a rampage, killing Gods in epic battles since 2005. With each release managing to offer high-octane action, I explore each God of War title and rank every adventure from his journey to Olympus to his Norse tales of fatherhood.

I won’t rank Ragnarok just yet, although it is honestly leaving me and my wife blown away…won’t go into details right now, not done as I assume others aren’t either, maybe some of you are, idk haha.

But here’s how I rank them

5. God of War 3
4. God of War Ascension.
3. God of War 1.
2. God of War 2.
1. God of War 2018.

MrNinosan522d ago

My same ranking exactly, with Ragnarök at #1.

ClayRules2012521d ago

Wow, that’s pretty interesting that someone has the same ranking as me haha. So, did you beat Ragnarok? I assume so with you placing it at #1

Flawlessmic522d ago

1. God of war 3
2. God of war 2018
3. God of war 2
4. God of war 1

Haven't played the others but about 30 hrs In to ragnarock now so safe to say if it keeps up it will end up being at the top of my list when I'm done.

CrimsonWing69522d ago

I will say the pacing of the original titles and the epic feel to them I feel is way better than the new one’s. Like, I could recognize and appreciate the praise God of War received, but it bores me to tears except for the pivotal moments.

However, that being said I feel Ragnarok is waaaaay better than 2018. I’m only on Ch. 6, but it’s pretty much rocked my face off from the get-go.

I’m really split between this being my GotY or Elden Ring.

robtion522d ago

I think different games in the series had different strengths but all are great. I liked the original as it was an origin story and the mechanics were fresh. The sequel added smoother gameplay. Three was just so far ahead of it's time graphically it wasn't even funny. Plus great gameplay and bosses and insane gore and nice use of sexy time. The reboot was cool but lost a lot of what I liked about the original trilogy (I don't need my games grown up, just fun). Will wait and see with ragnarok as haven't had time to play it yet.

Every God of War Game Ranked From Worst To Best

BLG writes: "God of War has evolved significantly since the first game launched in 2005. Each subsequent entry has brought something new to the series, be it new power sets, fighting styles, and in the case of the 2018 reboot, a whole new combat system. Therefore, a major component in ranking every God of War game is that game’s impact on the franchise."

2 is my all time favorite with Ascension being my least (but still worth playing). First time dealing with the colossus of rhodes as well as the scale of the steeds of time... just a great game overall.

Nacho_Z797d ago

3 is the best for me, closely followed by the reboot. The reboot lost some of the spectacular scenes in favour of deeper gameplay, 3 was jaw dropping at times. I'm hoping the next game will have the best of both.

Army_of_Darkness797d ago

Yeah 3 was my favorite as well! The Poseidon battle was amazing! Gameplay wise and graphically!

neutralgamer1992797d ago

Honestly first 2 were amazing. I really wanted Sony yo bring back David jaffe and have him do his own version of God of war reboot working in different mythology. David and Cory could make sure story made sense but I think God of war is a big enough series where multiple entries at the same time

nevin1797d ago

1. GOW 3
1. GOW 2
2. GOW: Ghost of Sparta
3. GOW 1
4. GOW: Chains of Olympus
5. GOW(2018)
6. GOW: Ascension

generic-user-name797d ago

GOW 2018 2nd from the bottom? Behind 1? Behind the 2 PSP games?

Your street cred is taking a hit today.

Muigi797d ago

1. Gow 2018
2. Gow 3
3. Gow 2
