I disappeared for a while because my laptop's power cable jack broke, so I can't just pull out my laptop and make a blog post in a few minutes. Well either way, I've decided it's about time to make a new blog post, on what exactly I don't know, but let me just tell what I've been doing since I left.
Now I just got God of War Collection off of eBay, and after long amounts of chatting about the original God of War and the idea of the gods themselves on Kongregate, I guess I should tell you what I think of the game. As for our main character, Kratos, he's been made a lot of different things as told throughout the original God of War. He was the general of the Spartan army, servant to Ares, the Ghost of Sparta out for revenge against Ares, and then after getting his revenge on Ares, the God of War. Now as for the fighting system, this is something that would be copied many times by many other developers and publishers trying to recreate the awesomeness that was produced by Santa Monica Studios and Sony Computer Entertainment.
Now the combo system isn't very new now is it? I mean, what hack n' slash game doesn't use a combo system? Devil May Cry used it, and if you know what a hack n' slash is, you know what Devil May Cry is. However, this combo system measures up to a lot of hits as long as you keep it going, think of the combo system as a "perfect streak" system, don't get hit, and keep hitting them. You also have differentiating attacks, with light attacks, heavy attacks, and grabs, which helps out in keeping the combos going. also, once you go through a move combination, your combo doesn't end, you can either keep attacking, or start dodging and counter attacking, which will make you combo system go into the hundreds. However, this is what makes me sad.
Now those are the pros, so here are my cons, whenever I kill off a bunch of enemies and I didn't put in all of the moves I wanted, which saddens me because I couldn't kill them the way I wanted. However this isn't anything truly bad with the game, it's just one of those "practice makes perfect" aspects of the game. Also, this next one is pretty nitpicky, I have to get A LOT of red orbs to upgrade something, and when I do upgrade something, it takes forever to do, considering the meter around the weapon has to fill up with, what I'm guessing is blood.
for one thing, I wish it was faster, because when you have people who collected all of the orbs and are trying to upgrade it, they don't want to hold the X button for a few minutes just to get some new moves and stronger attacks. There are some people that upgrade there weapons by filling up the meter periodically, but I think that's something we shouldn't have to do, with it not affecting our abilities at all. If' you won't let it just fill up instantly, then it's just something us gamers really don't look forward to.
Other than that, that's what I have to say about the original God of War. However now I have to beat God of War II, and then get ready for God of War III. It might be a waste of money considering I know about everything that happens in the game, but hey, I bought Grand Theft Auto IV after renting it and beating it, almost beat Red Faction Guerilla when I rented it, but after playing through almost all of the game, why buy it? Well lets just say that if I enjoy a game, I will buy it to play it over again for more enjoyment. See ya...I don't know when, sorry.
