God of War Ascension Eyes On | NZgamer

NZgamer writes: The God of War series has delivered a lot of severed limbs and Medusa heads since it first burst onto the stage in 2005 on the PS2. A mix of slick controls, rewarding combat and highly polished art direction made Kratos one of the most loved anti-heroes in gaming history. However, after watching the trailer at E3, I couldn't help but think that not a lot has changed in the seven years since its conception. While the visuals continue to get better with each iteration, the basic gameplay seems untouched.

I feel like nobody actually played God of War III. It's like they rushed through it, just to get the story...but didn't really sink their teeth into the other weapons or powers besides the blades of chaos.

you only really have to sink your teeth in the game if you play on hard(spartan?) or higher

they should give kratos a shotgun. its a freaking hack n slash game. what change do you need? All fps games are the same. all driving games are the same. all fighting games are the same. all sports games are the same.
