So people don’t like it because there’s no style switching or meaningless juggling?
>>12614475It's a mediocre game carried by le hecking guts and sex
Some people only enjoy action games if they are designed to frustrate you through broken combo chains and dealing insane damage to you.Most just love to kill stuff though.
>>12614475it was an industry plant by Sony
>>12614475I actually love this game.But I really didn't like GoW2. In fact it felt like a downgrade in every way, and nobody seems to agree with me.
>>12614475>style switchingBlade of Artemis>jugglingholding triangle launches enemies, you can stay on the ground and juggle or hold longer to chase and air comboIt's a great game and a worthy successor to 2D beat-em ups
>>12614475It's an okay game with great setpieces and decent enough combat. I don't get the hate even if it isn't the best in the genre like DMC or the PS2 Shinobi games.All the God of War games up until Dad of War, Dar of War 2: Electric Boogaloo and Cube of War are like that: good mindless fun, but fun nonetheless.
>>12614475It's just not as well made as its Jap contemporaries, but nevertheless the game has aged exceptionally well aesthetically in light of how sauceless Western game dev has become. I like it more than DMC1, less than NGB and DMC3.
>>12614541why do you like it more than dmc1?
>>12614563DMC1 is mediocre game3 is the one that's great
>>12614526I felt it more like an expansion than a new game altogether. God of War 3 was really the step down for me.
>>12614475People did like it. It was much better received than DMC or Ninja Gaiden, just their fanbase was insecure and fought for what little relevance they could get by shitting on God of War. It's basically pic related
>>12615115I actually feel bad doing similar as a Ninja Gaiden chad, because DMC is WAY fucking worse than any God of War game with its shitty enemies and nonsense world design.
>the thinking man's gen 6 character action beat em up
>>12614475Kratos plays sluggish compared to Dante or Ryu but it wins major points for style and scale which is completely absent in the sequel trilogy. Like Mortal Kombat these games just work better when made by jp developers, but it's not without its own unique charm.
