    @spideyfan300 Год назад +30

    Ascension is criminally underrated imo. It's like MGSV - the story was weak but the gameplay formula was at it's absolute best. It could have been a good prequel story-wise if we got some Ares screen time, it was one of the things many fans like myself was expecting/looking forward to. We wanted to see at least some of the atrocities Kratos committed under the name of Ares. Something to tie the events after his family's death and the first GOW game. As well as perhaps a more human side to him that wasn't seen in previous games, like Chains of Olympus somehow displayed a more human version of Kratos tbh. I get that it's before he sets out on his god-hunting spree of revenge, but at the same time his motivations for doing this can come off as inauthentic since we never got a clear scope as to what led him to meeting the queen of furies to begin with. It's kinda just told to us in the beginning prologue. Plus Kratos didn't make one last bad-ass speech at the end like he does in every other GoW game. (probably just me nitpicking but its true) The gameplay itself is phenomenal and I will never understand why people do not consider that an absolute highlight. Great balance of bosses too, something tells me GOW 3 set some pretty high expectations that could never be met by newcomers of the franchise no matter what they had released. Ghost of Sparta did hit some pretty high notes with it's story, too just 2 and a half years prior. It kinda feels to me as if this game simply was just overshadowed by the amazing outing of GoW 3 as well as the inclusion of Ghost of Sparta for longtime fans. In time, I'm pretty confident people will learn to really dig this game and what it did with it's gameplay.

    Ascension’s combat really is better than GoW3’s, but it just has a much higher learning curve.
    It’s kinda like Doom 2016 vs Eternal. 2016 was a game anyone could be good at by spamming super shotgun. Eternal’s combat system is way better, but requires way more skill to be decent.

    Imo, ascension is the prime example of "one step forward, two steps back"
    For every innovation and improvements they did to the combat, they nerfed something useful or added a bad feature along side it
    Example being the rage meter, in previous GoW games, you activate it and enter a powered up mode, with a increased damage and a new set of combos that are generally faster and more agressive at the cost of a meter going down that needs to be recharged again
    In ascention they intoduced the immolation system that charges the blades (not kratos) when landing hits without getting hit and once filled, will make your attackes more powerful and unlock small hidden extra hits
    This system is all right and dandy but is NOT a worthy of a replacement to the actual rage ability
    Furthur more, it is actually a smart idea to make special moves do a hidden exta hit when immolation meter is filled, but that should not have made it so that the basic combo is shortened. The main iconic combo from the previous games is chopped in half and locked until you fill the immolation meter, as well as the 3 tiangle combo.
    Like that move is completely unaccessable until you unlock fill the immolation meter, making the level 3 blades upgrade almost pointless. which sucks. Its like EA intentionally adding bugs to their games and saying "to remove the bugs, pay for the DLC that contains the patch"
    I HOPE that ine day, when technology is progressed more, we get to mod GoW3 so that it would have the upgrades and improvements of the ascension in its combat, or vice versa

    yeah I remember GoW ascension gameplay being real fun and BIG, like It brought a lot of new things. I even thought if they ever make a remake of the old games they should include this game's combat mechanics, specially the grapple thing. The bare handed attacks and picking up weapons was new and really fun to do. But If I had to guess, people were just mad that it was yet another prequel and couldn't see past that. That and the fact that a lot of fans seem to just love spamming square and triangle in every single game... when they literally had an entire section of the menu dedicated to telling you all the combos and special moves you could do. Anyway, personally I would a remaster of this one or 3 for the PS5 since they were the best graphics we got for the greek era

    Ascension is great. It is like the Arkham Origins of God of War. Great games just hated on by the masses for whatever reason. God of War 3 is still the best game to date in my opinion though. Another thing I like about ascension is the L3 + R3 Super move. It's so cinematic yet short and sweet. It also feels rewarding cause you gotta beat enemies up for it to charge kinda like the rage of sparta in 3.

    I wasn't sure what to expect from _Ascension_ since I kinda let the series go for a while and didn't keep up with it, so I saw all the negativity about it. But, I didn't buy into it though.
    When I finally played it a couple years ago...I LOVED it. I enjoyed the story, and I enjoy how _fluid_ the basic combat is. Not everything is great, like some of the magic is a little wonky, such as the Ice not working like it should all the time, and I find the parry mechanic much less polished than other _God of War_ games, but the grabbing in mid-air, the way they worked out the motions of the Blades, absolutely superb. It really makes me _feel_ like Kratos when I play.

    yo I just discovered something crazy that I'd to share here
    so in your video, you mentioned the shield is your favourite so I had to try it out myself and I made some crazy discoveries by accident
    now you know how when Kratos does his final triangle slam while in rage, depending on the element used a unique effect will happens?
    like the fire having a delayed explosion or the lightning having a.. lighting strike and the soul having an arm pop out for a slash...
    so here's what i found out, if you use the shield and do O, O, Triangle with or without rage(with rage to actually see everything)
    during the animation of the slam to when kratos is back at rest you can instantly change elements and each of them does their down effect after the same, basically linking final slam with other elements
    so you can slam with fire for the delayed explosion, switch to lighting to get the strike the ice for the ice shot and the soul for the hand all at once
    the soul is the only element that you can have the arm pop out twice if you switch elements back and forth fast enough
    so just do O, O, Triangle will the shield and switch elements right after the slam fast and you'll see the magic happen😅
    well that's all I found, I think it's cool so I had to share it here. forgive the long message but when you get time bro test it out if you don't already know about it 🔥✨ Thank You for your great God of War Content🔥✨✨

I teared up ... to me ascension was superior in Every way ... graphics, gameplay, combos, parrying, enemies, abilities, boss fights especially the final boss .... I was so sad that it was treated like black sheep while it really is the better game ....

    I've came back to this video as i'm playing Ascension right now for the first time and i must say... I hate the combat and i get frustrated in every fight. So let's get with that:
    1. Enemies spam attacks constantly and parry doesn't work. And i mean it, idk if it's bugged or what, but it's not that i can't time it right, as actually it has very big time frame, but it just doesn't work. I sit and spam the "X" and it goes off sometimes on the third press. Not to mention, if you parry and enemy misses you (yeah, it happens) Kratos is staggered for eternity and you can't even roll.
    2. Staggering enemies with basic combos is almost non-existent. Square, square, triangle does nothing, unless you build your rage meter.
    3. In previous games you can cancel your attacks easily with roll or parry. Here Kratos is stuck in animation and i get hit even tho i'm pressing roll or block, even on light attack combos.
    4. Some enemies block 90% of attacks including grappling (they even block grappling when they're laying on the ground staggered, nice). Getting them into the air is hard.
    5. You don't have all the fun and powerful combos if you don't have rage meter full.
    6. Whole rage meter can dissapear after getting hit by one thing.
    7. This whole makes the game never ending cycle of not having rage, not having combos and not only getting my ass kicked but also having extremely boring gameplay.
    8. Camera sometimes is pure garbage to the point that you can't even see the battleground.
    9. Overall bosses are super easy and same goes for bigger enemies. Meanwhile basic meat is fucking me up.
    I understand there's a lot of things you can do in this game, but like... I'm going through all PS GOWs right now, i had a great fun and in GOW3 i even played somewhat stylishly like old man Zesty is teaching me, but Ascension's combat is just not fun on the first playthrough, unless you're a damn pro.

    The gameplay is awesome. The old formula still works very well. The graphics and animation quality was the best the OG franchise ever had. The violence and execution were extremely baddass and one of the most brutal on the franchise (specially the medusa and elephant guy ones). Seeing Kratos angry and screaming facial expressions while fighting in gameplay was also cool as hell.
    It's just the story that was lacking and didn't made much sense. On this regard I put Ascension at the same level of Chain of Olympus.

  • @Dan_Bache
    @Dan_Bache Год назад

    I'm playing gow ascension at the moment and all those things you mentioned are pointless when you play on hard or very hard. Enemies are constantly blocking and tanking every attack you make, so you can't use the hold square or air attacks because you'd get interrupted and hit no matter what.
    The only 2 safe attacks are the square combo and the plume of prometheus, the rest of them are a risky gamble that most of the times end up with you taking damage and your meter being drained.
    Seriously the meter idea is the one thing I hate the most of this game (even more than the shitty pace and flashbacks abuse), you upgrade the blades and you want to use the new moves you unlocked but no, you have to fill that damned meter to have access to them. And before you say "then get better and learn how to counter and dodge attacks", in theory this is a hack n' slash game, not an rpg. Therefore you could make a mistake because of the type of game we're talking about, but reduce your possibilities based on the attacks you evade is pointless. Imagine if dmc 3 had this system. It would ruin the "style" idea.

    don't understand the hate this game gets. its definitely not the worst God Of War. IMO that crown belongs to Chains of Olympus. True the "Stupid-meter" exists , but its not all that bad. yeah the combat may not be as free flowing as other titles but agree with the good things Zesty mentions in this video. I always thought Kratos was underpowered in this reason by Santa Monica for a reason , he was comparatively weaker , they didn't want the BADASS Kratos that he was in GOW3 per say

    I had a ps2, then I got a ps4 and now a ps5. With the new god of war game coming I am planning to play all the older games. I can play god of war 3 and 2018 on ps5. My ps2 don't work anymore but I can emulate ps2 and psp games ( psp games would be a first time for me) on my pc. I have a gtx 1650, so emulating ps2 and psp is no big deal but god of war ascension is unplayable and I never got a ps3. God of war ascension is the only game I haven't played and won't be able to play. Since I live in India I can't even use playstation premium to stream the game, even though I have the delux subscription, because they don't have the infrastructure here yet. I really wish If I could play this game because ascension seems to have the most fun and diverse blades of chaos in the old system. In the past I have bought one console just for one game, like a got a nintendo switch just to play zelda botw, but the switch is the latest nintendo console and it has other good games as well. Buying a ps3 now just doesn't seem worth it. I wish if there was another way through which I can play the game. If you know anything, liked a hacked pc version or something that might run better than please tell me. thank you

    I've been trying so hard to love Ascension. It has the best sounding blades, the grapple mechanic is awesome, and god those graphics. I just can't stand so many classic combos being locked behind the rage system. This game was one step forward 2 steps back for me. It had so many cool innovations but every one of them theres something like the dodge or parry system or everything having to do with the rage system. Like I can respect it being like a Doom Eternal situation where they don't want hardcore players to destroy on the new game and have to climb the skill gap again but the one thing I can't ever excuse is locking the combos behind rage.
