No, that's me not realized God of War is a hack n' slash and not an RPG. I'm just not into Hack n Slashes, no need to be a dick about it. Not everyone is intentionally being annyoing.

I know of God of War, and that it's overhyped. I've been made to play Dynasty Warriors because my friend wanted to show me and one of the characters looked like Sub Zero. I meant that I didn't know God of War was a Hack n' Slash, if you read the post. I always considered it an RPG.

The only people who call God of War overhyped are people who've never played it.

And the people who think it's overhyped.

I've played it. It's not overhyped, it's really fun... in the same sense that porn is still liked even when the story, acting, and cinematography sucks!

And that's not a metaphor! The entire premise of the game is Fanservice! I don't mean porn-type fanservice*, I mean that it's full to the brim of flashy effects, MANLY MANLINESS, and awesome brutal acts that are completely segregated from actual gameplay.
But you can't honestly say the gameplay is good! I mean, unless you just so happen to love drawn out bosses, INTENTIONALLY bad camera angles, loads upon loads of quicktime events, and PRESS X SIXTY TIMES TO NOT DIE, that is!



*actually, second thoughts: you play as a really beefy man wearing nothing but a skirt. All women are similarly dressed, most notably in that about only one of them actually has a top. And in EVERY game you have a threesome! Yeah, it's pretty stock full of that kinda fanservice too!

Which is exclusively the first group. I just impaled a hydra eye first on a ships mast and made its childrens heads explode, and this the the first level of the first game. How, precisely, do you overhype that?

By pointing out that all you actually did was press X as fast as you can.


Oh no, I'm not actually kidding! The boss is just that! Well, that, and a slight bit of dodging REALLY SLOW ATTACKS in between.

Was that before or after I could use the enemies as projectiles, pull them in two, or just throw them in the air, spear them and slam them into their allies? I'd say it was after I ripped off the head of medusa and used it as a weapon, but before I learned to turn my blades into a spinning cyclone of death.

And name me one time it had a bad camera angle, in either of the games.

But to point out, you didn't really do anything for any of that! Those are ALL quicktime or cutscene events!

I mean seriously, I get that you're trying to explain how it's not overhyped, but I have no idea why you're trying to accomplish this by hyping it up as much as you can!

Start of the first level of the first game. Those really narrow beams of wood. "Straight" was not an option!

What the hell are you talking about? That just means you adjust the angle. As they're straight, its hardly gamebreaking.

As for the others, no, those were all regular gameplay.Circle triangle, Circle Square, Hold triangle circle. L1 Square. R1 Square, circle, Triangle or X.

All of those are moves you perform in game at will. You have an odd definition of a Quicktime event.

And I'm not hyping it, I'm describing it, relatively dispassionately. the game is just so fuckin awesome that describing it makes it awesome. Like the ESRB info on Brutal Legends.
