God of War 3

I enjoyed the other GOW games and this one looks good too.

Not that I don't like God Of War. But the series really is being dragged out to far in my opinion. They should of left it at two. I mean there is no flaw with the end at two.

Then even if they made a new game with the same combat system that would be cool, but this just seems like it's getting dragged out until they can't make money off it anymore.

Same here. God of War 1 ending perfectly IMO and the "secret ending" opened up to a possible sequel which should have ended at that.

How about focusing on a new god, guys? I wouldn't mind playing as Pan, fighting demon suitors, running around seducing women, and leaving a statue of an erect penis by their bedside!

Well you do have a point. I'll still play it, I just hope it's not bad.

I've never played GoW:Chains, but I have played 1 and 2.

I say "Why not?". The combat system rocks, and as long as they can keep the series/story fresh and interesting, I say go for it.

Re: God of War 3 Debut Trailer

I agree with Marcus about using a different God.

I wanna play as Hermes, with ultra-fast paced combat and ****. The plot could be delivering some letter to Kratos if you wanna tie it in with the other games.

Re: God of War 3 Debut Trailer

While I agree it would be neat to play as a different God - from a marketing standpoint - they need to go with what has worked in the past. And boy I hope this game sells well.

I'll probably get it.

OH! MY! GOD! In GOW3, Kratos is going to be.............a BLANK GREY SCREEN!!!!

Seriusly, I heard it, but all I saw was a blank screen.

Actually, I can picture a game like this except just like God of War it'll have to take full liberties with mythology. You play as Phiedippides (simply called Phie), a haughty herald/courier, who has deliver word to Athens that the Persians sacked Marathon. As the only witness, you have to run the 240 miles across treacherous terrain to Athens while being intercepted by Persian warriors. In the end, you find out that Hermes, for whatever stupid reason I don't feel like thinking of right now, is seeking the destruction of Athens because... you know, everyone hates Athens (those damn child molestors).

Somebody hire me I write video game gold.

But Prince of Persia just proved that's not the case. All you have to do is ruin your character with emo rock angst crap and fans will welcome a reboot.

So are they pulling a Metroid again like they did with GoW2?

Well, I think everyone agrees that taking a well-liked character or franchise and drastically altering the design will be met with criticism.

Zelda's new look?

I'm currently playing Warrior Within because it's on my backlog and if it weren't for the good things I heard about Two Thrones I'd snap this disc.

Re: God of War 3

Meh...cancelled my preorder for the Pandora's Box thing a while back and picked up the LE BioShock with the vinyl instead. Turns out my Gamestop didn't even get enough of the Pandora's Box to cover preorders. Meh. Not a huge God of War fan anyway.
