Edge will give it a 7 or an 8 (they gave GoW2 a 7), compare it to Bayonetta, and complain that the gameplay isnt sufficiently evolved. I can smell it from a mile away.:lolwizword said:

Frankly, I'm disappointed at the lack of 10's.

Oh no, were now complaining about not getting all perfect scores?

Well if edge only give it a seven then that chap from Teletext:Gamecentral will no doubt give it a 4/10 lol, and unfortunately his reviews count on the metacritic scale, he single handedly stop HR being a 90% rated game on metacritic and ironically he used to work for Edge.

I'm not complaining, I got pre-ordered a year ago. But I was expecting atleast a 10 from IGN, since they gave GoW 1 9.7 and II a 9.8. It seems that Uncharted 2 will retain the crown as the highest rated PS3 gameBattleMonkey said:
at least is strange as this generation some 10 scores have been flying around, some of them really weird tooRustyNails said:I'm not complaining, I got pre-ordered a year ago.

Yeah, this is a strange omission. Perhaps the
relics system
I also hope the unskippable cutscenes aren't a nuisance. GOW has never drawn out its cinematics too long, IMO, so here's hoping they maintain that restraint here.

Probably because the motion blur and other visual effects mask it to the point you'll only ever notice if you're really looking for it.

Probably. You`re not gunna make an ambitious HD action game like GoW and get impeccable visual fidelity everywhere with a limited amount of memory. Naturally, there will be visual imperfections here and there, and the reviewer seems to feel the need to make light of them, as if such a thing wasnt par for the course for just about every graphics powerhouse.Salz01 said:
How is edge bad? At least they have an opinion and muster up enough courage to give some games low scores. If someone doesn't enjoy god of war series there opinion is just as valid. It is the fact that ign, gametrailers, etc those reviewers that bother me. The ones that use a 9-10 scale just to split where god of war 3 goes and mass effect 2 goes and make excuses to not lose fanbase. Those reviews are bad.theignoramus said:

Less Hype surrounding it so they are less pressured to give a game an inflated score rather than a true score.
Plus I don't it's the site persay, I think its the reviewer. Chris Roper is historically more stringent in giving out higher scores than other reviewers (such as Hillary, Erik or Clements).

i cannot wait for this game. i hope it's as good as DMC 3, the best action game of all time

""This is a game that is so mighty in its expression, so loudly in your face, so boldly an advertisement of the power of the PlayStation 3, that it leaves its mark, punches its impression in your memory and seems too good to chuck. This game shows off and gets it right. It is an Olympic achievement, worthy of Kratos' burning drive."
wow...

I'm hoping the relics system is something like that, yeah. I understand that new game+ really ought to retain the RPG elements if at all possible to retain a feeling of progression, but... bleh. Strange. I suppose it remains to be seen what's doable on replays.hey_it's_that_dog said:

Could mean they drag/overdevelop certain story elements and don't delve into others nearly enough. From impressions I've read, I can fathom how this would happen.
Old? God of War III's budget was $44 million according to John Hight, SSM's director of product development. Great Giant Bomb interview, but open it in another tab and just listen if you want to avoid the gameplay sequences shown in the video.

What Edge does isnt courageous, it`s clever self promotion.wizword said:
hmm the gametrailers review kinda turned me off a bit.Don't get me wrong i'll still play it but hearing how there isn't alot of titan stuff and just watching the gameplay stuff and seeing kratos fight down linear paths again the gameplay came off a little tired looking.Ah well it should still be a visual feast and a fun game I am curious to see how it ends.

The Bad
* The voice acting fits the genre, but can be a little overdone at times
* After you beat the single-player game, there's not much left to do
* The game can feel a little too familiar in places
* The ending is going to have people talking, but that could just as easily go under "The Good"
So unless the ending is really bad, how does this even remotely make sense? Is he saying it goes in the bad because he's sad its over?

"Some people will like it, some people won't"

Ok that makes sense then. I was reading it in the wrong context.
Not trying to argue with you but if someone doesn't enjoy the a certain type of game or series they shouldn't be reviewing it. Its like you have a reviewer who hates fighting games and then make him review SF4. That review wouldn't be useful to anyone. IMO the reviewer should either be neutral or a fan of the type of game. Maybe those other sites gave it 9+ scores because its a good game?wizword said:
