Top Ten Most Badass Weapons in Gaming History - #9 The Blades of Chaos - God of War

Ripten counts down the top ten most devastating weapons in video game history. Slicing their way down the list, the Blades of Chaos rank in at #9.

Skerj6010d ago

Yeah I'd have put those on the list, they epitomized the combat in God of War and it's Sequels/Prequels. Also aided in helping some shameless rip offs *ahem Ghost Rider, and Prince of Persia the Two Thrones ahem*. Give them some more utilitarian uses in GoW3 and we're good to go.

HeartlesskizZ6010d ago

Kratos is the ancient Solid Snake =) Can wait to see how GOW3 look like =)

Danja6010d ago

yup those def deserved to be on the list..I can't wait to play GOW3....shoot i just wanna see proof of it's existence

GOW IS A hack slash not a serious game i didnt even know it exsuited as ima shooter/RPG fan waiting for mass effect and other incredible

hulk_bash19876010d ago (Edited 6010d ago )

And the award for the most fanboyish statement ive heard in a while goes 2.............MESH1. Congratz on being an ignorant prick, fyi the GOW franchise has a vey SERIOUS storyline, SERIOUSly fun gameplay elements, SERIOUS production values, and a SERIOUSly badass leading character, so i think it pretty much justifies itself as a serious game.

Rooftrellen6010d ago

Hmm...I think this is well deserved.

They might as well have started at #1, though, because as you go down the list, it can become more cluttered. This is a cool weapon, yeah, but it could have, possibly, missed the list. That gives it more suspense.

However, let's face it, there is no weapon in video games cooler than the X Buster (except maybe the Z Sabre, but its not nearly as many weapons in one). Anything else at the top would be terrible, but after #5, you just don't know what will or won't make it. The top ones are easy to see comming!

The Blades of Chaos could have been higher though, just because its so easy to recognize.

So far, its a good list, though. I look forward to the last 8.

Both requels over 2 and 3? Clowns. Those are two of the most boring games I've ever played.

Snookies12171d ago

GoW 3 was amazing, but I personally hated just one thing. (This is on me alone, because I was dumb, lol.) I hated that you couldn't skip cutscenes on repeat playthroughs. I had to go back through the game a third time because I missed one trophy accidentally on my way to the platinum... The cutscenes were great the first go round, even the second... But the third was pretty agonizing.

Haven't played Ragnarok, but I still think GoW 4 is a wonderful game in its own right. Not sure how I would stack them up against each other honestly.

Monstieur171d ago (Edited 171d ago )

I don't consider the reboot part of the original series. The original series were high-skill games with combos and rewards for mixing things up.

solideagle170d ago

lol square, square and triangle is the only combo you needed. I have played all of them on the hardest difficulties...

Golfcoachh171d ago

Maybe I’m just old school but I just couldn’t get into the last two. Maybe it’s the slower action and more story telling but the original trilogy was by far my favorite.

Crows90171d ago

It's not that youre old school. They're different genres

JL2930170d ago (Edited 170d ago )

Me either, at all. It's just yap yap yap. They try to be a RPG's instead of being action games like they used to be.

Fluke_Skywalker171d ago

I'd put the two psp games over 3 in terms of story any day. But not over 2.

My favorite was part 2 and I think Ragnarok is better that 2018.

Shane Kim171d ago

The newer games are better imo.

ravens52171d ago

There is no worst. Except for Ascension, only cause I didn't play it lol. They are all masterpieces. 1,2,3, 2018 and Ragnarok. 1 of, if not the greatest video game franchise...besides MetalGear.

Snookies12171d ago

Oh wow, I actually forgot that Ascension even existed... I never played it either.

Crows90171d ago

I like ascension. It was different and some interesting combat additions.

darthv72171d ago

If you didnt play it, how could you call it the worst? Its not as bad as the media portrayed it. Honestly the worst are those flash games. they arent even considered true GoW games but in name only. At least Ascension is a real GoW game.

ravens52171d ago

Not saying it's a terrible game. Just mean it's at the bottom of my list. I played a little bit of it. Jus to me, compared to the other main games, it's last.

Fluke_Skywalker171d ago

Ascension is the only GOW game I never finished. Hated it.

Inverno171d ago

Can't agree, older games do so much more than the last two. More weapons, magic abilities, enemies are more varied, level design is also more aesthetically pleasing, and agree with those who say that they shouldn't have removed jumping. Was a time I'd agree, but those old games are so so much better, that they really should've looked into bringing into the reboot/sequels.

Crows90171d ago (Edited 171d ago )

If a game is good then a game is good. Doesn't matter what came before or what comes after.

Inverno171d ago

Of course it matters. If not for what what came before there wouldn't be an after. And if something is great before then you strive to make it just as good if not better, after. I personally don't think there's a fair way to judge the new with the old because the newer games are still essentially a reboot, and went a way different direction. But I still believe the old games did it better. I'm probably bias though since I've been going back to old games and have been finding that they lack all the annoying aspects that devs have shoehorned into new games to fluff out game time.

Crows90170d ago

@Inverno

Im not talking about the passage of time here. Im talking about individual pieces of software. If a game is good then it is good. Thats not a controversial statement. You can compare good with good...sure. But you still end up with good. Now if there is a bad game in the mix and you compare you do end up with some differentials between them...makes sense to compare and see where it went wrong.

But theyre different genres and styles which were individually executed very well.

And no. The new games are not a reboot. Theyre a new direction but simply a continuation.
Tomb raider was a reboot.

Inverno170d ago

The new games are definitely a reboot, and a continuation, it can be both which it is. And a good game might be good, but my point is that if there are things done better before it then there's plenty of room for critiquing and trying to make whatever comes after better rather than just good.
