Whenever I watch anything god of war I always say to myself “if ares didn’t make kratos kill his family none of this would’ve happened”

And, it could be argued that Kratos does bear some of the weight of the guilt on his own shoulders considering that of it being him himself that called upon ares to win the battle with the barbarians.

Ascension is the most skill intensive of any GoW game. The rage meter is a big part of that. You have to EARN the power and you have to KEEP it. Every fight was so intense on max difficulty. That last fight riding the statue up was horrendously difficult but I felt like a king by the end.

Thank you very much! I was looking forward to this! Ascension gets put down a lot because it came after GOW3. So the bar was set very high, and nobody really thinks about the fact that this story takes place chronologically much earlier.

From personal experience It’s the flashbacks. They really take you out of the story. While the game hyped you up thanks to the beginning. It really gets you bored when you spend an hour or two in a flashback when you just wanna get back to where you left off with the furys

i really wish Santa Monica would push to bring back the multiplayer as a live support. It would really succeed. i feel like that type of game is actually really needed right now. There arent any multiplayer games that make you feel like a badass, while being graphically pleasing with combat and gore, the skill separation, the diversity in how the weapons and armor looked, the game was decently balanced and you felt like a badass WHILE completing the objective. BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!

ive always agreed on all the nice compliments from all the gow games, and even if ascensions wasnt the best game and people didnt liked it, there is still alot of good to see here and its always better to see the plusses than the minuses on a game side note: for the psp games there is a way to play them on consoles i believe if its hard to record on the psp itself, or emulation works as well too, (my first gow game ive played was coo on my phone and i was blown away from the gameplay and the whole gow game saga and i would die to see a god coo video T^T)

I think my least favorite thing about this game is that it turns the first game into what it's not, but everyone thinks it is; a basic revenge story. I know he's rather controversial right now, but UnderTheMayo made a REALLY great video on why the first game isn't a revenge story, and I highly recommend watching it. He makes a lot of great points (for once), and some of those are basic and icon moments in the game, like it's opening cutscene.
