God of War 3 stopped being fun less than ten minutes in, when I learned that you literally SLAUGHTER every God to death, just out of spite. The entire game, from start to finish, is based on absolutely NOTHING but how bloody and visceral it is.
Not only that, but I played GoW2 before I played the first one. GoW2 was okay, GoW1 was way better.
They pulled a complete, and retarded, turnaround in behavioral patterns for EVERY CHARACTER!
They hammed up a retarded storyline of revenge, just so they could get some more sales from the game.
And SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS did they ham it up for the third one. There is nothing about GoW3 that appeals to me at all, except some of the weapons. The second one was bad enough. Hell, at the end of the FIRST one, they didn't leave room for a second game. "were presided over by the new, God of War" That scene shows KRATOS being the God of War up until well into the modern era.
There IS no 'but he was only a God for a few minutes before he became blood-thirsty and power-hungry so Zeus tricked him into giving up all of his powers and made him a mortal again and then Kratos sets out to kill Zeus while systematically murdering every God on Olympus in the most bloody, brutal and painstakingly slow way possible despite the fact that he was nothing like that five minutes ago, while Zeus pulls out his big-voice and tells Kratos how worthless and weak he is and always will be. All the while watching Kratos kill off his entire staff of IMMORTAL GODS with his bare hands'... literally. Oh, and lets not forget Gaia becoming a complete ***** and trying to kill Kratos despite the simple, and obvious, fact that he's already gone straight THROUGH several of the Gods that crushed the titans previously. Yeah, THAT'S a good idea.
It's just too stupid to really fathom.
I've been playing it a lot since the new one came out. I have most of the character's moves memorized and beating the shit out the computer and my friends has gotten boring.
