"At last week's Game Developers Conference, it became abundantly clear that independent developers favor quality over quantity, which means we reviewers shouldn't be putting so much emphasis on length. One developer said the lasting impact a game has on the player is far more important than the amount of time it took to finish the title. Basically, if the experience is worth the price of admission, what difference does it make if it's 5 hours or 50 hours?"
The must play PSP Games every gamer will enjoy.
Kratos has been on a rampage, killing Gods in epic battles since 2005. With each release managing to offer high-octane action, I explore each God of War title and rank every adventure from his journey to Olympus to his Norse tales of fatherhood.
I won’t rank Ragnarok just yet, although it is honestly leaving me and my wife blown away…won’t go into details right now, not done as I assume others aren’t either, maybe some of you are, idk haha.
But here’s how I rank them
5. God of War 3
4. God of War Ascension.
3. God of War 1.
2. God of War 2.
1. God of War 2018.
1. God of war 3
2. God of war 2018
3. God of war 2
4. God of war 1
Haven't played the others but about 30 hrs In to ragnarock now so safe to say if it keeps up it will end up being at the top of my list when I'm done.
I will say the pacing of the original titles and the epic feel to them I feel is way better than the new one’s. Like, I could recognize and appreciate the praise God of War received, but it bores me to tears except for the pivotal moments.
However, that being said I feel Ragnarok is waaaaay better than 2018. I’m only on Ch. 6, but it’s pretty much rocked my face off from the get-go.
I’m really split between this being my GotY or Elden Ring.
I think different games in the series had different strengths but all are great. I liked the original as it was an origin story and the mechanics were fresh. The sequel added smoother gameplay. Three was just so far ahead of it's time graphically it wasn't even funny. Plus great gameplay and bosses and insane gore and nice use of sexy time. The reboot was cool but lost a lot of what I liked about the original trilogy (I don't need my games grown up, just fun). Will wait and see with ragnarok as haven't had time to play it yet.

We can expect to see games from the original PlayStation, PS2, and PSP generations plus cloud streaming of PS3 games."
Should change that headline to: "Old School Titles We Definitely Aren't Going to Get In the New PS Plus Subscription"
Rising Zan because Pushman is the best voice acted boss in the history of gaming.
Konami RPGs---Ring of Red, Azure Dreams and Suikoden.
Thousand Arms, Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, Persona 1, both Persona 2 and Persona 3 from Atlus.
Any of those would make me happy. Ogre Battle and Azure Dreams the happiest.
PlayStation community before:
We don’t buy new consoles to play old games.
PlayStation community now:
Here’s a list of old games we wanna play now that we might be able to on our new consoles
Ok here is the thing. This is not a ******** console game. The maximum size on the UMD is only about 2GB. Best Graphics on the psp up to date.
My point ? People reviewing this should review the game as a portable game and not a freaking console game. Reviewers comparing the game to the freaking PS2 console games is batsh!t biased. They should review the game for what is offers and bring to the portable arena. I would not give a *&$# even if the game was less than 3 hours.
Thanks.
5 hours of excellence or 10 hours of mediocre meh...?
5 hours please... everytime.
Does anyone else think this generation people are talking about game length way too much? I don't know, maybe its everyone is looking towards perceived value now since games have jumped to $60, but I don't remember people talking about how many hours to finish game back in the PS2 days outside of RPGs.
but an awesome game, its like a Movie
personally i don't see myself starring at my psp screen for 5 hrs straight so i know i'll spreed the time out to play this plus i still got my big stack of 24 (+ whatever i buy tomorrow, big payday yay maybe some rock band is in order) PS3 games to play through :)
