No it wasn't, it isn't and it won't be.

GOW is "impressive" to little kids that can be impressed by easy gore and shit. For gamers that actually know what gameplay is, it's clear that Ninja Gaiden or even Devil May Cry have a superior gameplay.

And gameplay >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> story, gore and all that crap.

I'm sorry but your words won't going to change my mind.....god of war is simply, and just let's say simply, the best action game.....I like dmc, but 1st part was nice,2nd CRAP,3rd awesome!,4th solid.....the best one is 3rd because the action is soo inhuman and furious...but 4th part is easy and slow just like the 1st one which makes gow a winner:gow1st:LEGENDARY...gow2:LEGENDARY...gow-chains of olympus:LEGENDARY...and waiting for 3rd part for ps3....my guess:LEGENDARY hehe.......
Legendary, if you like turning off your brain and just button mash to see a crappy char with no personality make gore sequences.

And no, it won't be the best action game, and you know why? Because it didn't impose any standards.

Dynamic movement? GOW doesn't even have that. DMC imposed it, Ninja Gaiden improved it.

Combo system? GOW's most used crap is the Square,Square,Triangle thing, which doesn't change that much even if you use different weapons. Once again, DMC imposed it, Ninja Gaiden forces you to use all the available combos for a lot of certain situations, and in both cases the combos are very different depending on the weapon you have equipped.

Game length? DMC and NG can easily last more than 20 hours in the first run, not counting the time you can take by beating them in higher difficult levels. All GOW games dated so far... 5? 6? The reruns aren't that better either.

Difficulty? GOW's is based just in the amount of enemies and the damage they deal (the AI is dumb at times too). DMC's is based in damage and the enemies being more aggressive. NG's is based in more complex AI and the addition of sub-bosses and other enemies the higher you go in difficult level.

Give more valid reasons than just "lol it's legendary because I liked it". Such thing sounds so poor and hype-based it gives me the impression the only thing you've played of the 3D-action genre is God of War.

There are more (better) exponents of the genre like DMC, Shinobi, NG, Gungrave, Otogi, etc. All of them gave the genre something. God of War hasn't... AT ALL.

a ahahaha, I loled so hard when I saw this....listen up pal GOW is FTW! nothing can change that...and 20h for dmc-whoa wtf man!? I beated 3rd just like I snaped with my fingers....

and with that personality thing 'bout Kratos-how dare you man!? for char. to have personality he don't need to look like freakin' fag (dmc's) yeah sure he banged a few womans in his bloody stained life but man that's sinfull greece mitology after all....in there father f****** his own daughter yeah I know-sick...but for playable char. in GOW they couldn't done a better job....

GOW IS EPIC!!! me and couple of other millions of gamers will say the same!!!! sorry dude but it's just a truth....
Yeah! (G)ears (O)f (W)ar is better. ; ) GOW
Yeah, Gears of War is better. You actually PLAY there, unlike in God of War.

Wishmaster, try arguing with something more valid than "lol GOW epic". You sound as empty as the hordes of DOA fans that claim "zomg DOA is best fighting gaem ever coz Tina / Kasumi / Ayane / etc. are so hawt".

The "lol million of people" is stupid and pointless too. If that were the case, then Halo 2 and 3 are the best FPS ever just because a lot of retarded people bought it and claim the same thing (no offense to anyone here that likes Halo).

so.....everybody's retarded and you're the only one who's right? O.o watch those words, it's not very safe cuz you never know when you can get betwen these ''retarded'' people ya know.....

btw in my opinion DOA2 is best 3D fighter ever...cuz the movment are so cool and reflexiv....in there you can actualy chain one by another combo so smoothly that is breathtaking...tekken sucks! doa2 is older than tekken's 5th 4th and tag parts and it still have much better graphic and battles...maybe a less character but every one of them is much better than all the tekken's......and I don't like new parts for xbox cuz the characters looks like they made of pudding! if they were to continue their good job like 2nd part it would be great but since they didn't..........makes a soulcalibur series to beat him...

and now seriosly god of war deservers respect...in my soul I truly aren't very interested in it but I know the good game when I saw one, only 2 parts for ps2 came from the clear sky one day and beated all the records...the whole world can't be wrong...you are not talkin' to some gow geek who's only interested in brutal mindless characters like Kratos who's only interested in killing and riping parts of victims on screen.....let's just face it (again) gow is realy good, now seariosly..........
>>btw in my opinion DOA2 is best 3D fighter ever

Okay, this says it all. Stopped reading from there.

*moves forward*

So, who plays SF4 on PSN here? or BlazBlue? I was gonna challenge Chikane but I remembered he uses XBL.
I play BB sometimes over my friends house.....I have a bit of experience from GG, but my friend hahaha he doesn't xD...you should see us fighting hahaha.....it's never went up seariusly cuz we start laughing in middle of some cobmo.....but in most of the cases I beat the crap outa him and his like: WTF how the f*** can you **** **** **** ***** ***** hahaha I like to piss him of xD...

Fixed the problem in your statement. . I know you meant (she) DW
Kyoushiro Heh Heh Heh. ; )
Eh... what

Seriously, only user here that I recognize as a girl is Feito :P

It pretty much is. They put all their effort into hand drawing everything... which sounds nice until you realise it was at the expense of most fan favourite characters, less moves and very limited real content - and the hand drawn characters look no better than those in the likes of Blazblue anyway. Waste of time and effort, they should've concentrated on making the gameplay good instead.

Ok Kyoushiro lemme explain something to you today! The women of moe imouto users list (as far as I know) are Feito, Kairei, Aurelia, and me. Just thought I should let you know. If there are others, beats me ( jking ) really!

Omg I totally forgot Debbie I'm going to go hang my head in shame..Ooo Yey it's not entirely small! (I'm happy now!) Don't respond to what I just said or this thread will deviate to randomness..Take it to forum #6116 if at all. Thanks Midzki! ; )
... okay Chikane, even being proud of my MANLINESS, I must admit you scared me :(

But okay... Chikane has BB but SHE has XBL.

Scared? What did i do. I'm totally innocent here ; )

And gameplay >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> story,
I completely disagree. For me it's always first priority story, or else the gameplay must be damn good to make-up for no/poor plot.

That's why I'm glad modern games are hugely profitable, so chances are better that they can hire decent writers.
Well, disagree all you want but you're WRONG :D

A game with a good gameplay will always be good even if its storyline is nonexistant, simple or absolutely ridiculous. See new Ninja Gaiden games, the Splinter Cell series, practically all the most important fighting game franchises (call it Street Fighter, Samurai Shodown, Guilty Gear, Virtua Fighter, etc), TETRIS, Super Mario games, the Doom series, the Dragon Warrior series, etc. Most of them don't have such deep or complicated storyline (or don't have any at all) and they're all excellent games that marked their respective generations.

But... a good story won't save a game with a shitty/wasted/defficient gameplay. See:

-A lot of the now-generic-it's-so-boring JRPGs.
-Killer 7.
-Killzone 2.
-The Call of Duty game released after the first Modern Warfare. Based on WW2, historical crap, etc. but the game was boring as heck.
-Silent Hill Homecoming... simply horrible.

In few words:

A good story can make a good gameplay experience better, but it's not necessary. A game with a bad gameplay will ALWAYS be bad, it doesn't matter if the plotline was written by House MD writers or similars (to put an example).
Well not that I'm 100& supporting you kyoushiro but my example on that is CODMW2. TERRIBLE STORY(Like god awful) But Excellent if not beautiful gameplay. The result? Millions of copies sold with millions of happy people. Including myself. End result? GReat game.

You forgot to answer how I was scary. Still interested ; ) Hehheheeh
Scary because of the way you pointed out you a girl.

It has happened to me IRL.
O.o I see ( I don't really get it...) But oh well! I must carry on! The show must go on!
GET A PS3, PEOPLE!

So I can play with more people than just the DustLoop crew :(
Get a XBOX360!! ( More challenging gamers there for all games EXCEPT!plus more friendly too!) what's that game called...oh yea SFIV(The most terrible imo)
Erh, no.

Fighting gamers in X360 are (in a 90%) a bunch of ragequitters, scrubs and haters.

Also the fighting games communities prefer PS3 to play.

AND... I don't wanna pay 50USD per year to play and use online features.
Meh we get everything first in add-ons (most of time) so that makes for 50$ plus we dont have as many lag problems and other retarded crap. Will agree though that fighting game wise, ps3 is dominant but IN ALL OTHERS 360 is superior.
I only use online to play, so I don't particularly care about that :P

And who told you PSN has lag problems? That's not true. The lag and stuff is based more on how good the game's netcode is. SFIV's and MW2's experience with PSN is no different than what you can find in Live. And I've played some Live exclusive games which have such a horrible online it's not funny (ALL SNK Live Arcade titles).
