God Of War: Origins Collection – Chains Of Olympus Review (The Koalition)

Carl Daniel writes: Admittedly Chains Of Olympus doesn’t retain the same spark it had back in 2008 but it is still a fun and exciting adventure which all PS3 owners should consider purchasing. The game is incredibly short and the story isn’t as impactful as it should have been (thanks to Kratos’ unlikeable nature) but if you just want to slice the throats of Satyrs or stomp blades through the eye of a Cyclops, Chains Of Olympus has you covered!

Not really a huge fan of God of War. The first was AMAZING, but it was all downhill from there.

Bowzabub5024d ago

The second one killed the 1st one. I give 2 & 3 a tie.

LOGICWINS5024d ago

You say GOW3 was just as good as 2? Gunna have ta disagree with you there. God of War 2 had WAAAAY more varied action IMO.

The Matrix5024d ago

Being the foremost GoW fan in the world I'll settle this right here. God of War II is the best.

Son_Lee5024d ago

God of War II was very good, but I thought GoW3 was a major decline. The story was good, but the gameplay was boring except for the Chronos fight.
Here's how I score them:

God of War: 10
God of War II: 8.5
God of War III: 7

NeoBasch5024d ago (Edited 5024d ago )

lol, so weird. I actually thought the first and third were classics. The second was a huge step down for me: incredibly boring game that didn't get good until the last three hours or so. Story was rife with clichés too. Favored the other two because their greater focus on philosophy. Even so, the second did have one of the most exciting endings (the last couple levels were pure genius).

God of War - 10/10
God of War II - 8/10
God of War III - 10/10

GoW II surpassed the first in just about every aspect
and GoW III is the definition of Epic!

Silly gameAr5024d ago

Indeed. Son_Lee, though it's his opinion, has no idea what the hell he's talking about.

gillri5024d ago

yeah they are all great, I have played them all twice apart from GoS

maybe I will pick them up in a few years

I wouldnt have brought the PSP if id known the only 3 games I wanted for it would be released on the pS3 in HD

(the other was MGS:PW btw)

NeoBasch5024d ago (Edited 5024d ago )

No Legend of Heroes. No Persona 2 or 3. No Birth By Sleep. No Tactics Ogre or Final Fantasy or Syphon Filter. Shame on you. How could you honestly have picked up a PSP and not play/enjoy these games.

*loves his PSP to death* <3

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.

MrNinosan943d ago

My same ranking exactly, with Ragnarök at #1.

ClayRules2012943d 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

Flawlessmic943d 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.

CrimsonWing69943d 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.

robtion943d 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.

Old School Titles We Want In The New PS Plus Subscription

BLG writes: "After many rumors, PlayStation has finally announced its new subscription service. With it comes the promise of over 340 PS Plus games to play on the highest subscription tier. We can expect to see games from the original PlayStation, PS2, and PSP generations plus cloud streaming of PS3 games."

Should change that headline to: "Old School Titles We Definitely Aren't Going to Get In the New PS Plus Subscription"

roadkillers1161d ago

Honestly, I would be surprised to see a lot of the first party titles let alone the third party. If Sony wants to knock it out of the park, add some of these.

BrainSyphoned1162d ago

Rising Zan because Pushman is the best voice acted boss in the history of gaming.

Konami RPGs---Ring of Red, Azure Dreams and Suikoden.

Thousand Arms, Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, Persona 1, both Persona 2 and Persona 3 from Atlus.
Any of those would make me happy. Ogre Battle and Azure Dreams the happiest.

Knushwood Butt1161d ago

Did you see the news about Tactics Ogre Reborn?

Big fan of Tactics Ogre but have it on Vita and Vita TV.

Puty1162d ago

I wonder if the ps1 games will have trophies.

Ron_Danger1162d ago (Edited 1162d ago )

Most likely not… however Sony did patent (a few years ago) a method of adding trophies to ps2 games based on where on the disc information was being read from (basically t detected when it was loading a new level which would trigger the trophy). I’m assuming they used that tech when they started selling ps2 games for PS4.

jznrpg1162d ago

There were specific trophies too not just level based if I remember correctly .

Ready4nxtgen1162d ago

Parasite eve 1 and 2
Thank you kindly.

CrimsonWing691161d ago

Actually let’s put all Squaresoft PS1 and PS2 games on it. I’d gladly pay for the service for just that.

z2g1162d ago (Edited 1162d ago )

PlayStation community before:
We don’t buy new consoles to play old games.

PlayStation community now:
Here’s a list of old games we wanna play now that we might be able to on our new consoles

Bathyj1162d ago

Actual PlayStation gamers: Old games are important we know because we have more history and heritage in gaming than anyone but Nintendo, but we're not going to yell and boast about it at a consoles launch to gloss over having no games for a year and lacklustre output for a decade. .

There, fixed it for you.

1161d ago
MrNinosan1161d ago

I haven't seen anyone from the Playstation Community talk and discuss about games we might get with PS+ Premium. Who do you refer to?
Cause bosslevelgamer ain't the Playstation Community if that's what you thought.

jznrpg1161d ago (Edited 1161d ago )

Old games are great from PS but MS doesn’t have the library anywhere close . I only kept a small amount of games from Xbox OG and 360 . Magna Carta , Blue Dragon , Lost Remnant , Morrowind , Witcher 2 and Jade Empire (which i didn’t care for much) I have 100s of PS games I kept over the PS1/2 alone that I love I have a large PS3 library too .
The main reason BC isn’t the biggest deal is if your using it because you aren’t releasing new games and your older library isn’t very good .
It’s a nice bonus feature but not a main feature at all . It doesn’t replace new games and MS still hasn’t released much to this day . Sure it’s coming we have heard that for a decade or more but old games dont fill the void especially with the lackluster first party from MS . There’s a reason why you can buy old MS games cheap because there is little demand for them even before gamepass gave them away for a little while . Go try and buy any PS1 game PS2 game your going to spend a ton of $$

FinalFantasyFanatic1161d ago

This exactly, the Playstation had a killer library of games in the PS1/PS2 days, and there's quite a few gems even in the PS3 days that we can't easily play. Those PS1/PS2 games are enough for me to fork out for the service, although I'd rather buy the games outright digitally. There's also alot of classics I missed out on the first time that I would love to play, especially JRPGs.

S2Killinit1161d ago (Edited 1161d ago )

Actual PlayStation gamers: old games and subscription services are not the selling point of a console.

MrBeatdown1161d ago

Imagine being so dense that you can't grasp the idea that 100+ million PlayStation owners don't all share the same opinion.
