Good to know Raptor (thats how it is right ? :)

I hope we get gameplay footage of Hades weapon when Kratos use them, looked very interesting, especially the move were he makes the weapon swing around him.

Okay, good to know ;)

Buying games isnt cheap for some of us when each of them are like 599 to 699 SEK (swedish money) I am sure Simon can relate to this, so we cant just fork out on one time experiences if replayvalue isnt going to last much.

I just pre-ordered my Limited Edition of Bad Company 2 for PS3 which I am getting this Thursday so I dont have money to buy anything else this month other than that.
Then I am going to save up money for LP2 (if I decide on buying that).

I wish I could find one those shops that rent out games here, but there arent any :(

I agree GoW almost doesn't even belong in the same genre. It's certainly much more suited for casual gamers than something more sophisticated like Bayonetta or NG.

It's like comparing a summer blockbuster movie that's dumbed down yet fun for everyone while Bayonetta or NG are like smaller films that are quite brilliant but not everyone is going to be able to appreciate the movie.

I just think Sony needs to work on more games with depth and replay factor. Most of their big budget games are really great cinematic experiences, but none of them offer a very outstanding online experience of most of them are FAR too linear for any real replay potential. Killzone 2 tried but the deadzone etc really killed that game for a lot of people. Hence why it's online population isn't very big when compared to the level of hype around it.

Presentation is great, but it only goes so far...

High Precision patch works perfectly for me, no more complaints as I had in the beginning.

Looks amazing...if we are talking about graphics, bayonetta is not even in the same stratosphere as this...but I guess its not surprising that some peeps are saying otherwise on here...

True, but they can elevate a good game to something better. With respect to GoW, it's not like they're sacrificing gameplay to pump out these graphics. I get the impression that the combat is exactly what they want for their game.

Agreed. I don't want to say that GoW is a better game than NG or Bayonetta( that comes down to preference), but I am just talking graphics, which ARE stunning. I didn't love the first two(combat was wierd for me), but the new mechanics DO make it more interesting. I'll borrow it from my brother...

Yes, but Thanks Heavens, gow has both ;)

And, good visuals are always welcomed... I mean thats what next-generations are all about. Scale and prettiness always matter. Check this Cronos-only section from GTTV below and rejoice:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugkgdTt7v-w

The interesting thing is that boss fights in gow are not only multi-part, but when all basic combo-action is over... they are topped by some intriguing QTEs that extend the life of these epic battles, by giving 2nd chances to bosses as well... while most other games in the genre have the boss killed in one iteration, when its down :). gow level boss fights are unmatched!

That doesnt answer my question but thanks though,what I want to know is what game he is refering to,Bayonetta,Ninja Gaiden or in general.

Because if he is talking about any of those 2 games then I dont see any complicated gameplay at all in fact its far from it,those games you are to this day tha gemes in where you are in more control of your character,any shit you make in there its entirely your fault,

Like I said complicated gameplay where?

And Thor no just no,GoW doesnt have both things at all,it got graphics and a mediocre combat gameplay so it fall really short when you put it along side Bayonetta or Ninja Gaiden or DMC.

Are we still on about the fucking combat, i thought we all came down to the conclusion that yes GoW has not got a combat system that wows, but it has everything else and its bloody good fun, hell you dont see people crying that dead or alive is not like fucking virtua fighter do we ? no because we except they are the same genre but completely different games.

Maybe in a near future we can have a game where we have everything top notch graphics,Japanese combat gameplay like NG or Bayonetta and the scale of GoW.

Meanwhile you have to make a decision of what you want pure raw best of the best combat gameplay or eye candy graphics.

If you're wondering about what game he's talking about, maybe ask what game.

This question doesn't have anything to do with wondering what game he's talking about.

Good moderation for the time being :),
...and yes gow has very satisfying and fun gameplay and no, not everyone likes very complicted combo systems and as ManThatYouFear has put the nail in... you just can't argue if Virtua Fighter or Dead or Alive are better games of the two... they are both great in their own accord...
...for me, gow is the best and perfect mix of everything + has best overall(apart from maybe gameplay which is still great, fun and 8/10 when compared with Japanese... and 10/10 if taken standalone) in the genre... I might have played down its gameplay had it been anything like anime/Japanese beat 'em ups!

Yes I was talking about much more sophisticated gameplay. Obviously Bayonetta isn't the most sophisticated title in terms of design choices lol. But GoW is just as stupid on most fronts, just in a more westernized way of course.

I just wish they wouldn't focus SO much on the "easily accessable" idea with GoW, as it keeps the game from being the type of game that is fun to play more than once. It's a hell of a ride the first time through, visually amazing etc... but in the end once you get past all the bells and whistles it's not much of an experience to come back to. Just my opinion of course.
