GOW will always be No. 1 but I am surprised that "Worrier within" isnt on this list seeing that it was the best of the original PoP trilogy.

SuperSonic912259d ago (Edited 2259d ago )

God of War PS4 is hack and slash perfection. GOAT

Ninja Gaiden - jump slash
Golden Axe - kick those gnomes
Super Shinobi 3 - that slice sound
Bushido Blade - run as far as you can
Tenchu - my first stealth game
Guardian Heroes - my first slasher jrpg
Castlevania Symphony of the Night - my favorite jrpg slasher
Devil May Cry - style and substance
Metal Gear Rising - Kojima Platinum master piece
Demon's Soul - hard as hell
Dragon's Crown - modrrn Golden Axe
Bloodborne - creepy slah fest
NieR Automata - Platinums best
Sekiro -Tenchu ressurected

Played all of these gems and they are the best.

In Demon Souls I just use magic and spells 80% of the time

nucky642259d ago

i don't think of the souls games/bloodborne/sekiro as "hack 'n slash". do that in those games and you don't get far.

Not sure why you got so many downvotes, this is a pretty solid list.

How about Champions of Norrath or Boulders Gate. Why can't they make games like that anymore?

2258d ago
bluefox7552258d ago

Ah, Champions of Norrath, that was an underrated game.

darthv722260d ago

Dante's Inferno is a really good GoW clone for H&S. Same with the CV Lords of Shadows games.

meganick2259d ago

Dante’s Inferno was lame and forgettable.

MWH2259d ago

that's just your little opinion.

DaveZero2259d ago

are you drunk?? funny but people still play that Dante inferno still.

ChiefofLoliPolice2259d ago

Uhhh no Dantes Inferno was damn awesome.

meganick2258d ago

I rented it back in the day and thought it was a lame God of War clone that wasn’t all that enjoyable, creative or memorable. I didn’t realize it had such a devoted following judging by the number of disagrees I got. That surprises me.

MWH2259d ago

i had great fun playing them both and LoS was a surprise hit for me, being a die hard classic Castlevania fan i overlooked it completely i mocked it even to my foolish ignorance. By luck i tried it and it reminded me to never underestimate or judge a game or anything else for that matter before you try it with an open mind.

DaveZero2259d ago (Edited 2259d ago )

That old chestnut because GoW was released first, not even the same game and both are great in there own rite. It's actually unbelievable and disrespectful to call Dante's Inferno a clone.

And you must be off your tree to call castlevania a clone. Many would argue it's just as good if not better, all depending on what you like most of all really. You see i prefer castlevania and Dantes over god of war, but if any took the crown out of the three, that goes to castlevania LoS for story, content and lore, dantes for speed and gameplay and god of war for graphics and style with abit of history..

darthv722258d ago

I didnt call CV a clone. Only Dante. Because Dante is literally a clone of GoW. That's not a bad thing and i too like it more but it is what it is. There are many games who draw similarities of others to the point where they are often referred to as a clone of something else. Again... that's not a BAD thing. Case in point, Quantum Theory is considered a clone of Gears of War and its a pretty damn good clone at that.

Just remember, imitation is the highest form of flattery.

micdagoat192258d ago

Dantes inferno is one of my favorite games ever

darthv722258d ago

the special attacks are awesome, especially when fully powered up.

micdagoat192258d ago

I've wanted part two since the day I finished it.

Still have MGS Rising and GOW III in my pile of yet to play games. Still want to play them.

Str8Chaos742259d ago

Never played GOW III but MGS Rising is amazing!

refocusedman2259d ago

You NEED to play GOW 3!!!!!!! Amazing game and great set pieces. The 1st 5 minutes will have you hooked.

XxExacutionerxX2259d ago

REALLY!!! God of War 3, I would say God of War 2.

MWH2259d ago

I agree, GOW2 was the pinnacle of the trilogy no doubt.

capjacksparrow2259d ago

Mechanics wise, God of War 3 was the best though. The seamlesness of switching between weapons was so smooth. Not to mention, it was the first game up until that point where other weapons were viable options instead of just the blades.

bluefox7552258d ago

I think GoW2 was a bigger step forward for it's time, but I still think GoW3 is objectively better. If GoW 3 was released at the same time as GoW2, I doubt many people would say 2 was better.

stonecold3198d ago

no beyond 2 souls or heavy rain god of war 3 uncharted 2 3 should got a mentioned

Cacabunga198d ago

I think all PS3 games are still looking good to this day!
God of War Ascension, Uncharted 3, Killzone 3, LBP, Beyond 2 souls, Sly thieves in Time.. other day i played Start The Party.. unbeatable fun

Profchaos197d ago

I think all of those games got remastered which really makes them forgettable on the base PS3 as everyone always jumps to the PS4 iteration

DarXyde197d ago

It's not a comprehensive list.

Moegooner198d ago (Edited 198d ago )

Whoever prepared this. Thanks for writing something meaningful for a change instead of the clickbait crap others do.

Agent75198d ago

Ridge Racer 6 on the Xbox 360 played a lot better than Ridge Racer 7 on the PlayStation 3, which included Ridge Racer 6 tracks. Ridge Racer 6 was the last quality game in the series.

CosmicTurtle197d ago

Both are good games, RR6 looks very slightly better, but this post is not about that.

Inverno198d ago

Another PS3 list another me mentioning 3D Dot Game Heroes

Redgrave198d ago

Yes, this deserves a re-release. I am surprised it hasn't been brought forth again.

StoneTitan197d ago

Must have sold pretty bad. I thought iz looked great but really did not like it

FIELDMARSHALL_P197d ago

@stonetitan it was like a love letter to the original legend of Zelda. I get it probably wasn't for everyone but it's a great game.

FIELDMARSHALL_P197d ago

Game was overlooked by a lot of people it took me back to the 80's playing the legend of Zelda on the gold cartridge for the first time. My kids I their twenties now actually brought it up the other day. I need a ps3 again my last one went out completely. I have so many ps3 games just sitting in a bookshelf. Still got that one up there too. I heard it's worth a lot now or at least was a few years ago, saw some article on it.

Rynxie198d ago

Replaying kz2, kz3, r1, r2, r3, kens rage 1 & 2, 3d dot game heroes etc. and they all aged beautifully. Also, playing these games in the hardest difficulty reminded me of how hard games were on the PS3. How I had such a love & hate relationship with these games.

Profchaos197d ago

I'm replaying kz2 on emulator at the moment purely because I want to remap the buttons outside of this it floors me just how good kz2 was on real hardware

Rynxie197d ago

Unfortunately, kz2 crashes for me on rpcs3 around the level where the helghast talks about raditz executing a soldier for poor uniform ethics. When I try and go up the stairs it keeps crashing. I haven't found a workaround yet. Every other game I'm playing works fine though.

Wish they'd do a current gen console release of this. Hopefully on MGS Master Collection Vol. 2!

Venoxn4g265d ago

Revengeance should come to Master Collection

For me the game with perfect combat was Lord Of The Ring: Shadow of Mordor.
