Why was God of War so great?

The amount of badassery in the God of War series is amazing. The quick kills (QTE's) are really pretty and give a cinematic experience to the game, where you can just marvel at Kratos unleash some brutality! The story was compelling, and the use of Greek mythology has a really great twist to it. Finally, the settings were great and really complemented the style of the game.
You certainly haven't offended me OP, but I just can't see how anyone can't enjoy God of War. It's a foreign concept. Next you'll be telling me Shadow of the Colossus was a poorly done game, and at that point the hunt begins ^^

God of War was pretty good. It was the fast food of videogames. Tasty, bad for you, full of tits and violence...
Well, I think Kratos' animations didn't have enough cancel frames. It was easier for an enemy to stop a combo than for me to do it trying to block. Either let me cancel the animation so I can block when I need to or make the animation invincible. Other than that, though, I agree. You rarely felt like you had to beat "the game."Cheeze_Pavilion said:
The first was new and fun, the second was more of the same, and I really hope the third isn't banking on better graphics but more of the same because it was coming short in the sequel.
As much as I hate to say it and feel old about it, not only were there the people who didn't buy it and caused it to fail, there are also enough people who are new enough to gaming that they would have no idea what Shenmue is, or for that matter the Dreamcast. I can't fault anyone for not knowing what Shenmue is these days.Et3rnalLegend64 said:
While you might not be able to cancel into a block, most combos can be instantly cancelled into a roll.LisaB1138 said:
So, just to give us perspective, what games do you like?Grimm91 said:
Even I find it somehow enjoyable.
It is an undeniably good series, however, and if you don't like it, don't assume that it is because the game is over rated. More likely, you and it just don't quite fit together. I mean, all your points of argument are based on a relative scale, so you have no actual foundation in your argument.
To say that it is an overrated game just because of your personal experience is to say that anything that doesn't appeal to you is bad and overrated.
I mean, have you ever stopped and considered that happiness isn't effortless? You have to make a choice to enjoy things, but it sounds like you decided to be a cynic through the whole game.
I personally liked it because I really felt like I was learning the combos, now I personally LOATHE hack-and-slash games because I just feel like I'm mashing random buttons but in god of war I really had to know the combos to get further in the game and it was relatively easy to learn. Also the different magic he has and how easy it is to use it in the middle of a battle made the game really fun.
And just to admit it I also love how bad-ass he is, the different ways to kill things, ripping heads of or using an enemy's own weapons and limbs against them, just so much fun.
