[quote=@Fabricant451] You're right, I don't. I'm not going to sit here and say it's on par with a good character action game but it's [b]above any given Musou game[/b] and its simplicity doesn't mean a lack of variety, QTE event kills aside since that's more the reward anyway. If that's a defense then so be it, but the problems with God of War isn't in the combat. [/quote] Well at least we are setting the bar high. If we are defending combat systems based on being 'better than dynasty warriors' which is easily the worst combat system ever, then we arent off to a good start. The game has almost no variety, every enemy in the entire game including bosses can be fought most efficently with square, square triangle. In God of War 3 all of the weapons apart from those shit hercules gauntlets function exactly the same just with different colours. QTEs are a whole nother issue but the core of the gameplay is mediocre platforming and god awful 'sweep the room' combat. And yes I agree with you, everything about Kratos and his world is stupid and shit, but its not just him. Almost every god acts like a one dimensional sneering prick till their last breath, and the game revels in this. You hate everyone and everyone hates you, which is fine when you are a all powerful shirtless spartan with a black guy's voice. But not so much when you are a musty neckbeard who can only attempt pro-creation with a used sock. And 'greek tragedy' in the loosest possible sense, translates in god of war as "You killed my family you motherfucker, I'm going to kill you and everyone who looks like you" was never going to make for a very interesting trilogy. These games were never good, and if you purchased sequels to this game hoping it was ever going to be good then Sony did a good job marketing it and deserves your money.
