I'm going to give up on God of War...I just do not like it.

I mean, I like the storyline and everything, just in comparison to the earlier titles the combat seems simplstic, sluggish and well, boring.

I hate the over the shoulder perspective as some will know about me, but I thought I'd try...because up until now I have loved the franchise and really wanted to make a go of it...

For me, how a character moves around and how comfortable you are with a control system etc is a fundamental part of my enjoyment of a game...it can be great otherwise, but issues like this are like wearing a pair of nice shoes with a pebble stuck under your foot...I can try to ignore it, but really it's just a constant irritation.

Can't help but feel "If it aint broke..." about this to be honest, and just every time I play it, I encounter the same feelings about it.
It's disappointing to me, because just like RE4, something came along that made changes that I hate, and the rest of the series just f'n stayed like that.,

It's a pretty game, I will give it that. The voice acting is solid, and they appear to be telling quite an interesting tale, perhaps moreso than the games that came before it, but what can I say...I've tried it 3 times now, twice recently...and it's not like I wasn't making progress, but...I'm just done.

I'll be watching a longplay...but yeah unless future GOW titles are more along the lines of the other ones, I will consider the franchise to have ended after #3.

Rant done.
