Its been a long time but i put God of War Ascention on yesterday, and after nearly a year of concentrating on next gen games, putting God of War back in reminded me just how much well rounded and polished the old gen games were compared to next.
So much detail and effort has been put into the SP part of GOW it was genuinly a joy to play it again, even though Ascention is not my favourite god of war. I put the game on hard and played straight through for hours not really wanting to stop
However.
I tried the GOW multiplayer! What a MESS that is. Your character is so small on the screen it's impossible to tell what, or even if your hitting ot doing anything when in a melee with other users. And to top it off it really felt like the game is unbalanced to new people playing to those who have been for a while.
I went 4 entire matches not even getting one solitary kill! One round of 4 free for all, the top player got 17 - 0 and the rest of us were all 0 for somethings...
So because i went 4 rounds without even getting a kill ( and still finished top of my team one round ) it didn't feel welcoming to players so i promptly left
For me the best multiplayer games are the ones where if you haven't got lightning reactions you can still find a way to be effective. With this hack and slash game it's all about reaction... nothing else.
SO i had a round of GRFS MP and although i've not picked it up for about 6 months, first game i still managed to finish second with 6 -10 score because i could find a way to still be of use.
