God of War III vs Bayonetta vs Dante's Inferno vs Darksiders

GamesRadar writes:

"Now that the dust has settled from the best E3 in years, we can take a moment to process the years' worth of upcoming-release insanity that we took in over four days – and that means making early, snap judgments based on what we've seen and played. One of the biggest and best presents for PS3 fans this year was a playable demo of the long-awaited God of War III, and it was joined on the show floor by a few games that clearly took their cues from Kratos' past exploits (or were at least similar enough for us to draw comparisons between them). But are they worthy adversaries, or merely pretenders to the throne? Only by dissecting each one can we decide for sure!"

Why does everything have to be against something else? Why does every game have to be compared to another, no matter how tenuous the connection may be? Why can't gamers just converse, and debate, in a civilized manner; ushering in a renaissance of both games and the human spirit? When will these hyperbolic and rhetorical questions end?

Cajun Chicken5425d ago

God of War cannot be compared to anything.

boodybandit5425d ago (Edited 5425d ago )

but I already did the other day.
This is what gaming journalism has become.
Fuel the fire for the fanboys.

I agree with Cajun Chicken because God of War has no equal.

ShinMaster5425d ago

GOW...different level.
You can't bring it into a vs fight with anything.

Jamie Foxx5425d ago

those are games you buy day one

ShinMaster5425d ago

I agree, maybe except for GTA. I think Saints Row had quite a few things that GTAIV lacked and was somewhat more fun....arguably.

Jamie Foxx5425d ago

like i will even though gta4 wasnt all that,thats what i mean these are franchises you just cant compete with

i3eyond the Circle5425d ago

Only competitor to God of War3 is Castlevania Lords of Shadow.

Look at the E3 trailer Frame by Frame and tell me it doesn't look as good os GoW3.

Pintheshadows5425d ago

Gamesradar vs Famine vs AIDS vs Being touched by a creepy old man.

Pheonix035425d ago

Bayonetta owns both games hands down. Simply because Bayonetta is bringing action gameplay to a whole new level, while God of War 3 is more of the same, and Dante's Inferno is a cut-and-paste copy of God of War's gameplay systems in a cool environment.

beavis4play5425d ago

anyway, i don't know how you can say that when bayonetta is a brand new game that hasn't been released yet.
and, while GOW3 may be "more of the same" as far as gameplay is concerned...........considerin g the high level of gameplay from GOW1 and 2; i'll take it ANY DAY over bayonetta.
i'm not a fan of the DMC series and bayonetta looks like more of that.......and i can do without it.

xabmol5425d ago

Why do people keep saying this?

What is the next level?

GhostScholar201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.

gold_drake201d ago

omg chloe was awful. i really hated her at the end haha

Cacabunga200d ago

Abby was absolute trash protagonist in every way..
Tidus was so meh to me..
On villain side, the one i didn’t like wa Micah, because they wanted him to be that way and it was brilliant👍🏽

Rancegamerx201d ago

I agree, I liked Max, Chloe was a horrible friend and a bad influence.

Cacabunga200d ago

Everyone agrees on chloe, I’m sure even ND do.

H9200d ago

Both are horrible, granted Chloe is infinitely worse, it feels like Chloe is just fanservice for people who too over the edge and wasn't written to be a character that makes sense

GooGobbler201d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666200d ago

exactly I was expecting it to be a the top of the list

ravens52200d ago

Ye I was expecting her too. Guess they actually played the game. Unlike you and whoever agrees.

gpimlott200d ago

I played through the whole game and think she is one of the worst character Ive ever played as

ravens52200d ago (Edited 200d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara190d ago

Why would I payed and played the game if the whole internet is making fun of a character?

-Im here to kill Chaos...are you Chaos?

Yeah, I didn't play that game either.

Christopher200d ago (Edited 200d ago )

She's actually not bad. It's the writing itself that is bad overall, but she's fine overall. She's no worse than Miles Morales IMHO. Both thrust into a spotlight and receiving both praise and blame and dealing with it.

Forspoken is a bland game because it's 75% bland, boring, repetitive going through the motions and diversions that add nothing of the value with purposefully gated memory moments that don't feel organic or like you're discovering things but waiting for others to reveal things.

ravens52200d ago

Exactly Chris. Even though I liked the game. I kno u played it. People who actually played it and went thru her dream saw she was a good likeable person who really just acted out due to being alone and unloved. I think your problem is it was open world, I think if it was more linear you may have liked it better.

savedsynner200d ago

Oh no she's bad. Very unlikable even before you add on the bad dialogue. The game could have been quite good with a good protagonist

ravens52200d ago

For all the people like synner. Shes actually half white lol. Inferior complexity is a hell of a thing. You'll be ok.

Nerdmaster201d ago

Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.

-Foxtrot201d ago

Squall is one of the best developed main FF characters so...

People talk about his "whatever" thing thats at the start of the game, not the character he eventually becomes in the end.

Nerdmaster200d ago

No amount of "character development", (especially the ones that for me feels sudden and undeserved like Squall's), will justify him being a d**k to my girl Quistis. Even if he found the cure for cancer, from that moment on, I would never like him.
The article is about being unlikeable, and he was indeed unlikeable for at least half of the game.

BrainSyphoned200d ago

Squall is the best protagonists in FF so you can go whatever yourself.

H9200d ago

My good sir, I need to steal that "you can go whatever yourself" because it's gold

BlaqMagiq1200d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake200d ago (Edited 200d ago )

the "watever" is only present in the english localisation.
so your argument doesnt rly ... stand imo.

Nerdmaster200d ago

Good for you that you could enjoy the japanese version. That's not the case for me and the majority of people here, though.
