For whatever reason, it feels like everyone is sleeping on the new God of War. Isn't this supposed to be one of the biggest games of the year? What's going on?
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.
Not saying it was perfect but I really enjoyed it. One of the more unique MP experiences. Wouldn't mind them trying again.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah 3 was my favorite as well! The Poseidon battle was amazing! Gameplay wise and graphically!
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
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
GOW 2018 2nd from the bottom? Behind 1? Behind the 2 PSP games?
Your street cred is taking a hit today.
Well because its plays the same way as the other GOW games. I'm still looking forward to this game, but Bioshock Infinite and Last of Us is my most anticipated titles for this year. You know what...Wait for the public beta for the multiplayer for this game and I guarantee people will talk about it.
Hasn't been much info released about single player
Once more gameplay and story details are out, I imagine that the hype and interest will rise
I played the online beta and didn't like it too much. This is the first time I went into an online portion of a game and didn't like the fact that I lost in every match. I can take a lost and walk away happy and still enjoy the game, but I felt like everyone I went up against had way more health and strength than me, making me die rather quickly. That can be fixed, so I'm not to worried about that. Once I got use to the controls and learned how to perry, I started to get a better score.
I love the controls and the character movement. The choosing of the Gods are nice and the progression system is what will keep you going back for more. Now, if they could get the match and player level balancing correct, I would be a happy player.
With that said, I can't wait for the full game. I really want to see more on the SP and how it will lead into GOW1 or if it will.
Once more info on the SP is out there, hype will go up. GOW1 heart and soul is within it's SP and if they mess that up, that will hurt the franchise. IMO
So me already pre-ordering the collector edition, buying Total Recall for the single player demo, Playing Rise of the Warrior right when I first hear that there are new content to strive for , and anticipation the multiplayer beta cause Rise of the warrior didn't give me a code and that I'm on this article right now. I say that I'm not hype at all! :P /s
Only a 6 minute demo and a multiplayer beta which you needed a code for and already 217k pre orders. Once more single player is revealed (January) and the beta is available to all PS Plus members, I can assure you this game will go through the roof in hype.
