Yeah, forgot about KZ2. It's just sad that the only ones that are given the time and budget to make the PS3 sing are Sony's first-party devs.

I have never played a proper God of War before, I know fuck all about beat 'em up games but this is something truly, truly special.
The graphics are mindblowing. Nathan who?

there's another Uncharted coming out next year? Or will Resistance 3 look that good :lolAgentWhiskersX said:
(that being said, I'd do some horrible, horrible things for Resistance 3 to be awesome. R:FoM is still the best shooter this gen)
GoW3 looks amazing indeed. My GF was watching me play and constantly asking whether this was in-game or a cutscene (especially when you kill
). Lip-sync is not great, it's pretty much flawless, AA is unseen before, the level of detail is amazing, the art is mouth-watering, the constant references to Greek mythology are fuckawesome. The only thing that's keeping this game from a 10/10 is the goddamned jump-mechanic and the sometimes iffy positioning required in order to open a chest.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Finished the game
Anyway, epic game. Wish it could have been longer and
Spin-offs incoming since Kratos' body was missing

"Epic" is such a terribly cliched term in the gaming world, but hell, it's pretty much the only word that fits this game. And I say that as someone who's not even particularly a fan of the genre.
Game loses a half-point for me because dude who does Kratos' voice work is a no-talent hack, but, seriously, that's my only gripe.
9.5/10

Oh dear. So I'll have to suffer through yet another year with Uncharted gifs/graphics being measured up to Uncharted 3 in every goddamn thread, even if they aren't about PS3 exclusives

Yes. Listening to Kratos' voice made my balls grow 600% (200% for each of the three main games in the series). It's just that manly.

I think the voice acting is over the top, but fits the character of Kratos fine, he's a mad bastard.

Quoting for great justice :lolCallibretto said:
Kratos' VA is something that has bothered me throughout the whole series. Not only is his delivery cheesy and devoid of any real emotion (except for faux-rage), but the writing for the character is awful too.
I realize that they wanted to give Kratos a one-track, revenge-driven mind, but they didn't have to make him as simplistic as they did. Glimpses of more complex emotion could have really fleshed out his character, but instead they settled for him just being a badass through his actions.
And it's a weird juxtaposition in God of War II and III, where most of the other characters have much better actors and lines than Kratos.

Might be one of the best if not the best voice acting in gaming. Almost like the caricature was created after the voice.

I have balls the size of Kronos, young man. Balls the size of Kronos. And Kratos' voice made my chest hair grow so much, scientists recently discovered three new species of monkeys living in the jungle on my chest. All thanks to the GoW series.

Kratos only has one emotion, rage.
The PS2 emotion engine was built on rage just for him.
Combichristoffersen said:

Kratos' voice acting is supposed to be hammy. Pay attention to the kind of game you're playing people it's basically a marriage of a Hollywood popcorn movie and a comic book. And believe me I can't wait for the actual comic book.

Just to chime in with similar thoughts - game is amazing and the graphics are jaw-dropping. Seriously, seriously impressed

So, what's the general consensus on GoW 3's graphics; are they the best seen to date in any console game?

last night on Titan mode. It took about 15 tries but I got it and it was glorious. This battle has been my favourite so far. I loved
, after all those failures it was nice the way this fight came to an end.
Next up,

Hades
pulling Hades onto the ceiling, I felt like at that point Kratos was just playing with him

PC too IMO...maybe this is just because I haven't played many PC games but the PC game that is suppose to have the best graphics is Crysis, and I think just Kratos' model is better than anything in that game.Combichristoffersen said:
this game is very interesting..i think starting it on hard definitely made it better for me..there's been battles that made me roll my eyes and think 'how the hell did i die there'..but I've also had a few crazy ones where i wondered how the hell did i just do this without dying?
They are close, but I still think Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 look a bit better overall. Uncharted 2 in particular, which is just polished to perfection. The framerate is too unstable in GoW3 (just like the PS2 games were) and that definitely has an impact on the presentation.Combichristoffersen said:
All three games are in the same tier, though. Definitely one of the best looking games out there.

This. We've all been led to believe, that the only way of getting these levels of graphics and AA was to build a uber gaming rig with 8 gigs of ram and a big fat hot GPU. At this point the only thing PC games have on PS3 first party games is res. and framerate. And some time not even framerate.

Because it's technically illegal. The only way to legally get those links was to use the code that came in the ultimate edition.
It really is sony's fault for leaving them so exposed like that, but still, it is what it is. Those are supposed to be paid for extras, yet some aren't paying for them. The blood and metal EP, for instance, is an actual album release I believe.

wow, that was a phenomenal final act!
I don't even know where to begin, it was such a fun game. I need some time to collect my thoughts. Visually stunning, obviously, and I think that will kind of taint my opinion of the actual game part underneath at the moment, because I suspect when I actually look back on it I'll remember God 2 as my favourite and God 1 as one of the most memorable, but all the same, totally worth the money and a totally satisfying ending (hopefully) to the series.
It had one of those last acts where when the credits started to roll I almost physically applauded to the television screen.
there was no need for the little epilogue, though! the ending was poignant as it was without the cheesy 'dun dunnn' moment teaser post-credits

I still think UC2 fairly comfortably trumps this, but to be fair, that was ND's second effort

Is the GOW3 collection out in the UK today? I've not played #1 or #2 so I can't get #3 until I've done them!
