God of War: Ascension βeta Impressions | STFUandPlay

STFUandPlay's Rikuson writes: "I got into the βeta about a week ago and tried to come into this βeta with an open mind because when I first heard of the idea about a multiplayer in a God of War game. I was highly skeptical because now we leave in a world where everyone thinks a full packaged game has a Single Player, Multiplayer Competitive and Cooperative which I disagree upon. So now since Urgentfury.com apparently has been giving out βeta codes more people have been getting into the βeta. So now I can actually search for randoms and get into a match, but lets start from the beginning of the βeta."

BY THE GODS, this beta is amazing and graphically jaw dropping. I simply cant wait for GOW to come out next year PS3 FTW!!

Kurisu4164d ago (Edited 4164d ago )

I received my beta code yesterday. Will have to download it on Christmas day as that's when I will finally have another PS3!

Saying that, how long does the beta run for?

BiggCMan4164d ago

It is amazing!!! So addicting, which is a real shock to me. I didn't know what to think after all the videos, but it's surprisingly a lot of fun!! Dunno about graphically jaw dropping, but it definitely looks good. A lot of work left on graphics though, you can tell this is an old build of the game and not the newest version. It'll definitely look better by release. I do think God of War 3 has better graphics however, but that's expected because of the amount of extra content in Ascension.

Ezz20134164d ago (Edited 4164d ago )

i have played the Single player demo for the game
and i can tell
it look better than 3 and it is older build

wait untill you see the final build

BTW don't judge the gfx of a game by it MP gfx
every one on earth know that MP never represent the SP gfx in any game

LOGICWINS4164d ago

"every one on earth know that MP never represent the SP gfx in any game"

Play KZ2. Graphics in the SP/MP are identical.

BiggCMan4164d ago

Yea, as well as on every single PC game I own, the graphics are exactly the same in both modes. That's just an excuse on consoles because they are more limited.

Bowzabub4164d ago (Edited 4164d ago )

About 20 more games and it could catch up to Mario ;)

Nexgensensation4164d ago (Edited 4164d ago )

we're talking about kratos! the same guy that ripped the head off of helios, the same guy who bathe in blood, the same guy who actually have sex with numerous women. you actually want 20 more of dark twisted pleasures?

I mean Mario is like sesame street, and god of war is like a 3 movie trilogy. God of war ascension is like those tv sit com that might get lucky with 3 seasons.

Im just saying.

@Toman85 sigh...
whatever floats your boat! as a fan im not to fond of the trend, as a business man, im not against making money by all means.

Toman854164d ago (Edited 4164d ago )

About 6 Halos, soon 9 cods, 6 Assassins Creeds, 4 Forzass and 7 mario games...

What you babbling about, milk?

I have only have one God of War this genenration and thats God of War 3, but those I listed I have got in this generation, milkz

TheFirstClassic4164d ago

With what looks to have some of the best multiplayer seen this gen...

waltyftm4164d ago

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.

abstractel531d ago

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

Palitera531d 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.

hotnickles530d 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.

MrNinosan542d ago

My same ranking exactly, with Ragnarök at #1.

ClayRules2012541d 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

Flawlessmic542d 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.

CrimsonWing69542d 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.

robtion542d 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_Z817d 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_Darkness817d ago

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

neutralgamer1992817d 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

nevin1817d 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-name817d ago

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

Your street cred is taking a hit today.

Muigi817d ago

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