Joystiq impressions: Heavenly Sword

No, it's not Goddess of War. Many have been quick to pass this game as "God of War with a chick." Although being compared to one of the best action games of the last console generation is far from an insult, it does take away from the qualities of Heavenly Sword that make it so unique.

[sony fan]

LOL, they are so desperate to say this is not GOW, I know lets just say it is not, then people won't think it is. The sony camp is just plain ignorant, The state of gaming news is pathetic. And fan-boy writers should all be fired, but in the gaming industry the "news" is as biased as can be with specific articles written under the guise of news just to try and argue with opposing fan boys.

@ andy below, are you talking about my PS3? This game is not even on my list of PS3 games to get, there are so many better games this this crap. Can you not afford both consloes? It really is the way to go.

@ andy even further below, because sony fan-boys are the most fun to pick on for laughs, 360 owners are not as defensive about their machines because they know it is good because they have had good games and they paid less. But sony fans are all about defending their expensive machines which have worse games than the 360 at least for now. Look at how funny your reaction is, you can't get this from 360 fans wihtout a lot more work.

LOL EZ, thats what I'm talking about, post like yours are just hilarious. AGAIN, I HATE FPS because they are all remakes and restrictive I WOULD NOT PLAY HALO 3 IF SOMEONE GAVE IT TO ME. THE WRATH OF THE PS3 fan-boys LOL bring it on dumbass.
You just can't get these funny commments from other fan-boys. Also for all my fans, I will be updating my profile soon with more detail and facts about the consoles.

I don't think I will spoil this game for anyone, I ust think there are a loy better PS3 games than this.

I think that people should be more focused on what I said about the news in the industry, I do like to show fan-boys how retarded they are, this is why I lead by exapmle, most people should ignore my dumbass comments but the real fan-boys like those arguing with me are always good to expose as idiots. I think Gamers should demand better news. This is an actual important conversation witch we should all be having. The news in this industry is taking a serious decline in quality with all kinds of pointless articles with titles to catch peoples attention. I think we should rise as a ommunity and demand more fair, unbiased news with actual news in it. Like the article, "what I would do if I ran MS" Does anyone care what I would do If I ran MS? This is not news.

@ EZ I only have a couple PS3 games which I don't play online, I don;t want to get a virus from the out of control network they have. I don;t list my 360 gamertag because I like to bash the 360 if I see MS fan-boys acting retarded and I don't want negative feedback on my gamertag.

LOL EX, my goal is to make this as un-fun tor you as your dumb(but) fan-boy remarks make it for others, and I am very good at it because you can only talk about me. My comments are never at specific people, but you ignaorant fan-boys gotta take it personal thats only when I talk to individuals. I tried being just positve in here and you people ruined it, nobody learned anything and wisdom was not contagious, fan-boys do not listen to reason, all you can do is make them pissed off the same way and let them deal with it. I think most what I post is funny, if you want to read some crazy funny stuff check out my list of comments in my bio.

[EZCheez]

If I were to use your logic and categorize this game, then I could just say that every FPS is like Wolfenstein, but we both know that's not true don't we?

Also, I couldn't help but notice you never answered my question from a previous thread about your gamertag list. I refuse to believe that someone who owned a PS3 would use all of his spare space to include negative information about the PS3. I find it even more puzzling that the only space you don't use is your 360 gamertag space. I don't know what you're trying to do here, but if you keep posting on threads like these, then expect the wrath of the PS3 fans to fall upon you, starting with me.

Has anyone else looked at this guys bio?

He is nothing more than SPAM.

EDIT-Are you ever going to answer my question? I must have annoyed you or you wouldn't have felt the need to use a derogatory comment to answer me. Who's getting to who?

I will remind you of an article that was posted on here not so long ago, and it was about how to recognize a fanboy

Way #6- They hate fanboys.

[Violater]

One thing is for sure there is no way you can spoil this game for Any PS3 owner on this site.
Troll along it will get you nowhere fast.

[EZCheez]

Why are you so hell-bent on "bashing" owners of a console when they sound like idiots? Rather than add to the ignorant comments (which you have been doing up to this point, don't deny it) why don't you use your intelligence to say something......I don't know......intelligent? Wisdom can be contagious, and you are not spreading it at all.

[Maddens Raiders]

I have never ignored anyone on this site. Ever. Congratulations sir, for you are my first. I think that speaks volumes considering the motley crue here at N4G. Again, congratulations.

Good Day

[popup]

Sorry that everyone is replying to someone else CrazzyMan.

You have to admit though, if there was space in a dictionary to squeeze Sony fans comment as a definition under the word 'Spastic'.....

[timmyp53]

game looks sweet

[Loudninja]

Nice to see more Sony fans :)

[AnDy FrOm MiAmi]

Sony fany please stop bieng such a prick and go post somewere else I guess your just pissed of because you just realized you bought a piece of sh!t that doesnt work, overheats, scratches disks, and is extremely loud, good luck with your time bomb!

[Shaka2K6]

Im on the Ninja Theory Forums checking when will they release the new demo for the game.
hell yeah Nariko rocks!

[AnDy FrOm MiAmi]

Yeah sure like anybody is gonna believe that sh!t if you own a ps3 then why do you bash it all the time, when you say you own a ps3 is like saying tommorrow is the end of the world! XD

Edit: Sony fan you sure cause i ve seen alot of them xbots going crazy trying to protect thier beloved xbox 360 just go take a look at the article were it says sony and epic are doing an IP similiar to gears of war.

-- "No, it's not Goddess of War. Many have been quick to pass this game as "God of War with a chick." --

On Topic:
=========

-- "The most important thing to note about Heavenly Sword are its controls: don't start playing the game, expecting it to control like God of War. This is a vastly different beast to tame, and button-mashing isn't as encouraged in this battle system. Expect to be a lot more methodical, and observational, as analyzing enemy movement and stances becomes crucial to true success in the game." --

...and I can't wait.

[peksi]

If I recall correctly Joystiq hasn't had many positive news about Sony. With that in mind the preview was a big positive superlative to the game.

I haven't been very interested in Heavenly Sword before but after this I am. Roughly the same happened with Lair when I read CVG's preview.

Next thing I need is a PS3. Now where is that bundle offer.. haven't seen it around in Finland.

[felidae]

so there you have it TheMART ... it's not a god of war with a chick. this game looks totally amazing ... it's like watching an action movie.

but your halo3 is a halo 2 .. your mass effect is like kotor + graw combined with 70% reading, your bioshock is a systemshock and your highly praised COD4 will be, well, like COD3 i bet.

all the good games roll to the ps3 - that's nice.

[SDS Overfiend]

Hey @ss-Pirate its Multi platform. Even with all of the games you just mention PS3 still won't have any by time those are released. As Far as God of War 2,Heavenly Sword can't even hold its Jock strap.I Wish David Jaffe could give that up cause you sony fan don't appreciate sh1t anyway. Out of 150million 3 million don't even have this game. What a Shame.

This game is a Rental at best cause after the first once over its trade-bait.

[BBsin]

Hey @ss-Pirate it Multi platform. Even with all of the game you just mention PS3 still won't have any by time those are released. As Far as God of War 2 is David Jaffe need to give that up cuase you sony fan don't appreciate sh1t anyway."

did a retard teach you how to type and spell, or are you the retard that taught yourself how??

[Why o why]

needs to get something other than a pc/laptop and connection in his life. He lives to piss people off from his own mouth. Can you honestly say IF you had a partner/companion that you could show them what you type without feeling embarrassed. I know you have to switch off your monitor when adults approach guy.

Lets play it before we call it a gow clone. Almost every game made after the year 2000 has similarities to another game, where have you been??

[darkdoom3000]

GOW with a DMC style gauge?

no, its much more!
cant wait till its out!

go ps3
