The worst multiplayer I have ever encountered

[QUOTE="djdanrobbins"]

I gotta agree with @spoogan - only its not just the multiplayer that's crap. As for you guys spewing "skills" ... what, exactly, have you gotten skilled at with this game except timing or learning when to reset your PS because for some stupid reason a really hard fight is miraculously easier to play after a reset? Because really, the only skill required to beat this sh*t game is repeatedly and mindlessly mashing stupid square and stupid-er triangle (stupid-er because if you're stupid enough to use a heavy hit .. oh, gee, lets disable you from doing anything for a second or two so you can die ... and OH WOW look how long it's taking you to play the game!!!! ) Seriously ... what skills are you talking about ? The only skill i'm getting out of this f*7#king game is how to take advil for the carpal tunnel syndrome i'm developing. And just in case you haven't yet asked yourself this BLATANT question while mindlessly giving yourself joint damage, WHAT IS THE DAMN POINT TO ANY OF IT? Who the HELL are the furies? Why should I CARE??????? As for reviews, well if you would read past the first paragraph, most reviews out there have a great big BUT in the middle of the review; i.e., the game is pretty good, BUT repetitive ... boring ... tedious ... too much work ... painfully repetitive ... horrible story, etc. etc. I'm probably admittedly the biggest Sony fan-whatever on the planet. But this game just sucks. thank god gamestop is giving $30 trade in till 4/11. That way i've only been half robbed. Some franchises need to just die and go away the way they were intended to after the third installment.

Full of rage, but I agree more-or-less.

Campaign is a letdown. Although the maps are pretty, the player can actually stand on or interact with maybe 1/8th of said pretty world. I'm sorry, but when exactly does this take place? Apparently in between two of the major installments, but the way I see it if they decided to leave this part out when they made the next installment, it must not have been too important. So why rage through the trial of Archemedes at all? What's the reward besides New Game+ and whatever else they decided to give us for completing the story? I will say that the puzzles were pretty fun, but a little too easy.

I actually enjoy multiplayer to an extent. They should have just focused entirely on multiplayer, forget the sad story mode that is really just more of the same with no new ideas, combat wise. There is a lot of potential in the multiplayer, only to fall a bit short because of the focus on both the campaign and multiplayer equally.

This series should have stopped at 3. Move on to create another cash cow, hopefully it's original!
