games similar to God of War

A

hello all,

just finished playing god of war on my ps3. was wondering if there are any other games that are as good as GOW. basically looking for a nice hack and slash games.

Re: games similar to GOW

Heavenly Sword for sure.

Re: games similar to GOW

Ninja Gaiden,Bayonetta, Castlevania: LoS,Heavenly Sword, Devil May cry 4.

You can try Dante Inferno as well.. but it is not that great.

Re: games similar to GOW

Dante inferno's graphics and gameplay is very like GOW. but it is quite repetetive and story is not that good

Re: games similar to GOW

thanks for the recommendations.. guess the above list will keep me busy for a couple of months.

on a different note one of the main reasons like 3rd person hack and slash games over FPS, is because aiming is freaking tough on a console. any tips on how to get better at aiming.

Get PS3 Move. With move its easier to aim than the controller.

Re: games similar to GOW

^ Getting a Move controller is not a perfect solution for this problem.

@akuma,

When I first started playing with ANALOG controller. I felt like.. I was playing with some garbage can. All you have to do is to give it a time. Just keep playing. Adjust the thumbsticks sensitivity until you feel comfortable. And target practise a lot. While you are in the game.... approach any wall, pick a spot on the wall.. and try to shoot it while moving, jumping, running, etc. You will be a champ in no time.

I ain't said that its a perfect solution but aiming with move is better than analog. And it would help him to perfect those games sooner with move than with normal controller. I haven't played any FPS games on PS3 I am just saying what I read and heard from people with hand on experience.

He asked tips for better aiming. Not alternatives for controller.

True. I just thought to gave him a advice about this alternate solution which is easier.

Re: games similar to GOW

^ Also costlier and not cross platform. If he learns how to do that with a controller.. he can do it in PS3, on PC or x360. Aiming with Move should be considered as a sidedish or a nice off the beat way to play the game. But should not be taken as Full-Metal-Jacket way of playing the game.

Re: games similar to GOW

Well I don't own any console or have experience better than you so can't comment on that. Yes you are right that its not cross platform I didn't thought about that earlier. I only play on PC and only has played some hack n slash and some fighting games only on console never played a FPS or TPS at all on any console. Tried to play RE5 on my PC with my XBOX controller but that was kind of hard for me so I left that idea and played it with mouse and keyboard.

Re: games similar to GOW

Ah, come on, FPS with controller is no hassle once you get used to it. Only takes a little time to master the controller and thats all there is to it.

Re: games similar to GOW

Yes, FPS on controller takes a W-H-I-L-E. Initially it is damn frustrating and pissing off. With no in-game straight point save it aggravates the situation even more. But as Vamsi, and Jojo said -- practice and time is what it takes. Then when the fun starts. I am like 3 weeks into my PS3. Life long mouse+keyboard FPS'er, so am still learning. Progression is slow, but there is a positive climb to learning it better. Damn fun on a big screen. Slip the disc and play. No worries about drivers, XFireX profiles, BSOD, CTDP. Simple. And what sound to the ears...!

Re: games similar to GOW

I came running here to post about Gears of war, why can't people use full names.

^^
Gamers never use full forms...!

What is up with Ico/Vamsi and their girl avatars...!

Gears of war=GOW=God of war, very confusing.

I usually use this.. GoW/Gears = Gears of War, GOW= God Of War.

what about Darksiders II??

Why not PoP series?

DMC4 is must play in that genre.

Come on guys stop digging Old threads. I don't think that OP is still waiting for the suggestions.

^ I know its an old thread

& OP is nowhere around, just wanted to know if darksiders II can be compareed to GOW, I didn't want to start a new thread for that.

Yes it can be compared to that. As a matter of fact many features of darksiders have been copied directly from GOW.

No u can only compare the genre of both which is hack&slash..but God of War is very fast paced whereas Darksiders II is not.
