Shadow of the Colossus at the moment is the more epic game, but that might be a product of me not playing God of War III nearly enough.

Haven't played GOW3 but I have played the other two, didn't really enjoy them so SotC takes the cake. That feeling that you get when one kill one of the Collussi's and that sad look on their face as they slowly fall is not something GOW will ever be able to replicate.

I must be the only one who found SOTC boring. I got like5 bosses into the game and it was the same thing over and over...Yet everywhere I look on GS forums people rave about it. Should I have kept playing?

All I did listen to some guy out of the sky....get on horse...kill a huge rock thing.....return to sanctuary....approach girl....get on horse fight a different looking rock thing. Should I have kept playing? Does the story pick up?

SOTC is winning by a gigantic margin

and lets be honest... Kratos is the god of war and you spend most of the time killing hordes of enemies weaker than you

the guy in SOTC is just a random guy, who looks like a kid, taking down monsters 300x his size and strength

Well, only one of them was featured in an Adam Sandler movie, so I think I'll have to go with SotC.

This comparison is void because

  1. Shadow of the Colossus has been out since 2005, God of War 3 was just released
  2. Shadow of the Colossus sold over a million copies, no numbers yet on God of War 3

The numbers for any comparison thread would only be accurate only if the sales numbers were similar (unless people are voting without having played both games in which case the poll doesn't matter either). Shadow of the Colossus should dominate the poll right now as way more people have played than God of War 3. So, for now, the poll is completely useless.

I know ... I'm only pointing out that sales matter to this comparison. In a poll like this, people are more likely to choose games they've played and since many more people have play Shadow of the Colossus than God of War 3, the poll is biased.

Besides that, it seems like the poll has been glitched anyway. :P

No kidding... I'm actually willing to bet more people have voted for God of War III since the glitch ended. Actually I know that's how it's going, the percentage of SotC went down. When I was playing GoWIII over the weekend and I was fighting Cronus, I said to my friend that the Titan battle put SotC to shame in the epicness department, but both are very epic games.

You lost that bet, if you look in my sig you can see I took a screenshot at the end of the glitch. Since that time everythign has been legit votes. GOW 3 legit votes: 244-129= 115 SotC legit votes: 1870- 1655 = 215 So ignoring any votes during the glitch time since then GOW3 is at 115 and SotC is at 215.

Anyone who says SoTC clearly hasn't played GoW3, or gotten very far into it. I dont want to spoil anything but some of the things you fight in GoW3 are far larger then any colossus in SoTC... Also, you have to consider the technology involved in GoW3 and things the PS3 can do that the PS2 can't.

SotC but, it's epic in a different way. SotC is epic because it's just you a wanderer with just a bow a sword and your wits fighting twenty story colossi. In GoWIII the enemies are a bit bigger but your frickin Kratos,a spartan, demigod, badass with chains on his hands.

God of War 3 just has epic moments whereas SOTC is the total package of epicness.

No offense ihsanqueen, but you make the weirdest threads I've ever seen in SW sometimes. I guess you're trying to equating scale with epicness? Anyways, I voted Shadow of the Colossus. Imo it's sooo much better than any of the God of War games.

I refuse to choose.

Chutebox

This. I was going to say SOTC, but the fact is, they are both equally epic in two different ways. SOTC is more of a puzzle game with an RPG style GOW (series) is more gory platformer/action with puzzle/QTE elements. both are epic, GOW III easily being the most epic of the three (in size) now if we are judging "epicness" by sheer scale alone, then GOW III has it in the bag. [spoiler] Cronos is easily 3-5x bigger than the biggest colossus in SOTC [/spoiler]

i think they're just different types of experiences. i love both (think i'm pretty close to finishing GOW3). i guess SOTC feels a little more solitary and poetic. GOW3 is just gut wrenching good fun.
