I don't know why people in SW are dissing God of War so much about being a button masher. It's not really a button masher at all, yes it isn't nearly as technical as Ninja Gaiden, but it isn't trying to be. The God of War games are a mixture of everything, that's what makes it so damn good. Firstly it has fun gameplay, mashing on the buttons a little bit but combined with varied enemies, locations, weapons, magic, amazing boss fights and geniusly made puzzles. God of War has a great story that is deep, well written, with intresting characters, superb orchestrated music and pretty graphics. The only explanation people can come up with as to why God of War is crap is because it is a "button masher".solidte
I don't consider it a button masher and I don't see why people call it one. I am also a little confused about what button-mashing is....pressing of one button constantly? If so, how is God of War a button-masher?
[QUOTE="sainraja"]I couldn't have said it any better. God of War's god a story and good gameplay. Ninja Gaiden's got good gameplay....I am sorry if I offend anyone by saying that but I really didn't feel connected to Ryu Hayabusa at all.

Sure, except that makes it sound like God of War's gameplay is on par with Ninja Gaiden's, which it is not. DMC 3 and NGB both wipe the mat with God of War and God of War 2 in terms of gameplay, and GoW easily takes the crown when it comes to non-game elements, like storyline, storytelling, voice acting, music, and set piece design--although strangely, DMC 3 has the best sound effects of all three, and by a large margin. It's unfortunate that all these disparate elements are not to be found in a single game, but such is life. When it comes down to it, DMC 3 and NGB offer a much longer-lasting value, and the two GoW games have a much stronger short-term appeal.
I'd rather have both really. Good gameplay with good storytelling. That's what makes me finish a game. I haven't finished Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden. I've had Ninja Gaiden since it came out on the Xbox and now I have it for the PS3. I didn't bother finishing it when I had it for Xbox because I didn't feel for the character or his cause. The only reason I got it for the PS3 and am trying to finish it is because I don't have God of War 3 or Prince of Persia like title yet for the PS3 so I need my action adventure fix.....but I should want to finish the game for it's story shouldn't I? For me, good gameplay isn't the only thing important for a game.
