Anyone getting into multiplayer? I wouldn't mind an okay GoW game if the multiplayer was hooking people...
Thanks, however on the voucher, it says valid form March 1, 2013 to March 31 2014.

People have been saying it's the worst GOW since CoO.

Hehe. Nice I can just sit back and watch some of you suffer...
I'm surprised there are a lot of haters though, the game was pretty good.
Yea, that drove me mad. I got the game a couple weeks ago and kept trying the code in hopes something would happen... next week.
Muhahaha! If you are stuck on that part, you have to take a break and then come back to it going really slow and careful.
True that brotha'. No respect.

Started the game, 3h gaming. The prologue is even more massive than the third one. But less involving.
The game looks GORGEOUS!! Anyone saying ascension is less beautyfull than GoW3 hasn't played the game or is blind (and I only played 3 h!!!).
Gameplay is broken in the begining (after prologue) untill you have powered up a little! There is too few moves that can break enemies paterns. So first couple hours are a bit frustrating. I wouldn't be surprised if some gamers stopped before this! Not a good choice, Papy!
Too much "sliding scenes". Just too much.
Sound is a pain, ther's often no ambiant sounds, it turns off 2sec and turn back ON.... Will you fix it, SSM?
I'm going back to the game! The longer I play, the more I enjoy!

I like the combat system in ascension better than the other god of wars, instead of landing the automatic finishing blow on enemies like the medusa and the juggernauts, you have to dodge their attacks while trying to kill them. Very well done in that regard.

Yea, they really messed that up putting available 3/1/13-3/31/14 on the paper... going to be a lot of annoyed customers

Seems the GoW Saga code for GoW1/2 expires on 3/31/13 also. I almost forgot to redeem it
The gameplay is about the only thing I can praise so far. The combat seems like a natural step up from previous games but everything else has taken at least 1 step back, making this a kind of boring game so far. Not bad, but I'm kind of just going through the motions so far.

I really don't like having my most powerful attacks stuck behind Rage meter. You're stuck using a LOT of light attacks and good ol' square square triangle. Or abusing the R1 grapple. The attack arenas when you get the magic to try it out is pretty small, and enemy attack animations just eat through many of your light attacks. So you find yourself rolling around a lot, doing light attacks to build Rage, but one of the 6 bad guys around you lands a hit because they're always fuckin' attacking on Hard with this big knockback attack, and the rage meter goes down again. You try to get room and do your heavy attacks, but oh wait, don't have those anymore, dummy. Back to light attacks again.
It was a pretty cool idea but badly executed.
The final moment that convinced me GOW:A opening was better than 3. By a long shot.

Totally agree, the beginning of the game is quite frustrating! But when you powerup enough the blades and the elementals, it unlock moves that can break some ennemies paterns.
But it's a bit tricky...

theres a code for 1/2? mine is for COO and GOS.
This was really cool but the camera ruined it (zoomed out too much), hopefully they'll patch it.

Thank goodness, too many nice covers ruined by demo info prints. Going to pick this up in a minute, really looking forward to it and hopefully my expectations will be lived up to. I play PS3 games with the Pulse Elite headset (had to get rid of old surround system, no money for a nice new one) so hopefully I don't run into some of the current mixing issues.
The main problems I'm having so far from this game is that A) the story doesn't really hook you right away like previous GoW games and B) it doesn't seem to be as bombastic right off the bat like the other games. In terms of raw gameplay though I like this equally, if not more, than the previous games. Combat is a good step up from GoW3.
Did you get the Mythological Heros Pack DLC?

Apparently no one got their preorder bonus codes in the box from Best Buy. Oh this is going to be so much fun...

Don't mean to beg, (there's a thread for that already) but anyone have one more?
Isn't the soundtrack digital?
I will give you mine when my copy comes.

I think it's a digital download rather than a CD.

Maybe SSM decided to not include sound in the CE either.
lol...
Maybe it's digital, I just can't find the voucher anywhere...
nvm! Inside the "plasticbook"
Very good, Mr. Reason.

Should've gone to Specsavers.

There's not much of a driving force behind the game so far. In GoW1, you always seemed to have an objective, getting to the Temple of Pandora, getting Pandora's box, Killing Ares. Or getting to the Island/Sister of Fate in GoW2, or climbing Mount Olympus to kick Zeus' ass.
Here...there's something about go to "???" to learn the truth! The truth? Uh ok. The Furies haven't had any kind of presence narrative wise either, so there's no big bad to focus on. You kinda just go through the motions, with no idea where you are, where you're headed, why you're doing this.

Thanks Loudninja, you're so goddamn cool.I will give you mine when my copy comes.
I was thinking of renting this game from Redbox with one of my free nights. How long is it? Standard GoW length? I won't to know so I can beat it in a day or so.

I know I am trying to get to the Oracle of Delphi... but I can't remember why.
Sure, I will PM you latter.
I cracked up at that more than I should have.
It reminds me of the reactions at the intro. Some say it is the worst in the whole series (apparently even when compared to GoW1) and others say it is one of the best.
I guess thisisneogaf.gif is appropriate here?
What the heck. :lol
Different opinions,I am pretty sure GOW3 was like this as well.
Not talking about the intro though.
I agree with this too. I'm not sure if I accidentally skipped a cutscene right after the boss from the intro but I have no idea what I'm doing or where I'm going. I already have 2 elemental upgrades and they both mention learning the truth....to something.
Was it? who really thinks that GoW III's opening is not the best in the series?

I hate to annoy people here, but I will going ahead and say it here. If anyone don't want Isaac and Zeus Code for Playstation All-Star Battle Royale Code, please private mail me the code. I would appreciate it a lot.
