Top 5 Hack/Slash Games

Clickonline writes "With DMC force-feeding me my own words, God of War: Ascension pouring libation of bloods and Revengeanceabout to sap me of any remaining sanity, this genre is enjoying something of a renaissance.

True, these games never wander far, but it’s been a while since so many high profile publishers ploughed resources into both the hack, and the slash."

Glad to see Heavenly Sword on that list.

Dwalls11714083d ago

Odviously this Genre is OWNED by GodOfWar ...those other games dont even compete

Irishguy954083d ago (Edited 4083d ago )

Yeah..to true hack and slash fans..God of war doesn't compete with them. God of wars combat system is too simple and unchallenging. To people who don't play much Hack and slash...sure God of war will likely appeal to you more than the rest.

Strongman...GTA4 has better reviews and sales than all of your favorite games. So it's better right?

Oh hey...Modern warfare 2 is higher than Bioshock, Lbp2, Cod4, MGS4, ME2 and 3, Uncharted 3, Gow3....I guess...you know. It's better than all those too.

LMAO, maybe you shouldn't play it on Easy. Try Chaos or Titan buddy. And see how far you'll get with button mashing.

GOW is undoubtedly harder than every game on that list (On their highest difficulty). GOW 2 on Titan was freaking HELL to play!

And don't even get me started on story, art style, epic scope, visuals, and pretty much everything else that makes GOW a superior game.

God of War owns on everything but gameplay.

God of War has smooth and solid gameplay, but it's not as evolved as say Bayonetta, DMC, and Ninja Gaiden.

That being said God of War stomps the competition when it comes to Presentation, World and lore, graphics, audio, boss fights, overall cast, story, and probably more.

My top 5:

1. God of War 3
2. DMC 3
3. Bayonetta
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma / Black
5. Shinobi

Honorable Mention: Onimusha 3, Heavenly Sword, Darksiders 2, Prince of Persia, Golden Axe and a few other old school,

UnSelf4083d ago

Top 5 no order:

Bayonetta
God of war 3
Ninja gaiden 2
Dmc 3
Ninja gaiden black/sigma

In terms of hacking and slashing, god of war comes last. But triumphs In everything else

DevilVergilX4083d ago

Heavenly sword does not deserve to on there... 4hours to complete is pretty poor, and the only thing good about it is the story.

AngelicIceDiamond4083d ago (Edited 4083d ago )

This game right here is pretty good. Its an Xbox exclusive came out almost 4 years ago. Its pretty good not GoW quality but a very fun game. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

The biggest flaw of the game was indeed too much QTE. Well done cinematic moments but the heavy use of QTE's broke you apart from the main gameplay.

I was hoping MS contracted Ninja Blade 2 with "From Software" but MS didn't. (Shame on MS)

I remember reading an article a while back that MS wants an "GoW" kind of game. Ninja Blade was a attempt at it. If MS fully backed a sequel this game could be a gem.

EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watc... another vid in case anybody's interested. Hopefully next gen MS could add a hack and Slash to their exclusives.

d3nworth14083d ago

Heaven sword I wouldnt exactly call a hach n slash. Its more of a hack n slash n crush your manhood. I cross my legs every time i see her do one of her counters or superstyles. Especially the one when she pulls the guy to her then slams the sword right in his crouch.

TheLastGuardian4083d ago

The most extreeeme hack and srash title of them all.

God of War is #1. Check the sales and reviews. God of War sells more than all of those games and scores higher than all those games.

Skips4083d ago (Edited 4083d ago )

While I do agree God Of War is #1 in it's genre.

I don't agree that it selling more and scoring higher makes it so. (But it is still something to consider).

InTheLab4083d ago

No way DMC 3 beats any GoW title...GoW is the genre leader.

Now, where Ninja Gaiden?

PowerPlayaaa4083d ago

I totally agree with strongman.
God Of war is on a different league of its own.
No hack & slash game can compete with the GOW series.

Chris5584083d ago

I played all dmc true just on hard difficualty not DmD and enjoyed storywise gow 1,2,3 much more especially compared to dmc 2 which is a piece of garbage only and darksiders was too easy for me and 2 somehow uninteresting stopped before finishing

Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.

Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.

rolando12322d ago

The more I think about it, the more I kinda want it to be a thing lol. Ryan Gosling would be awesome. He would need to play it less serious, but he's shown that he can be a goofball.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro41d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7241d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_41d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga41d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2341d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200041d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin41d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole41d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix41d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198941d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel198941d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2
