Just ripping things to pieces, I guess.

I thought 2 was much better because there were more bosses. 1 was pretty boring with only three bosses and hell was a chore to get out of.

Some people like playing fun, classic games.

Herakles is translated as Hercules in many languages. Don't know why.
>>334804687
The scenarios were nice and the gameplay fun
>>
good boss fights
nice art style and grafix
decent combat and level system
good music
kratos is a laff
qtes that feel good when you get them right

It's good

>good boss fights
The final fight against Ares was terrible.
>>
>>334805285
nah, it was good
>>
>>334805343
nah, it was terrible

grandiose music and setpieces, the entirety of Pandora's Box is the best example

>>334805224
It's literally because of Disney and the movie. If it was Herakles then they would go "uhmm excuse me it's hercules disney told me so"

Just like "Hades is a bad guy" shit.

Funny how one of the only things where I've seen Herakles was actually one Donald Duck cartoon.

Setpieces, mostly. The environment/scenario design is pretty cool and impressive and not just in a 'for a PS2' kind of sense.
>>
>>334804687
fuck bitches kill biches while being an asshole.

>>334805427
At least Hades wasn't the villain in God of War, even if he had that nonsensical christian hellfire theme in the first game. His presentation improved a lot in 3.
>>
>>334804687
The setting is really cool but everything else was pretty disappointing. I guess the puzzles were harder than I thought they would be but not really in a good way.
>>
>>334804687
gore and shallow gameplay.
it's like singleplayer mortal kombat.

A wild quick-time event appears

>>334804687
> savage killings and gratuitous gore
> cool setting
> over the top unique setpieces
> fun if simple combat

Its like a big dumb hard-R action movie in game form. You really are a faggot if you cant see the appeal

No it's just because Hercule is the version from the Roman Empire which had an influence on the UK that the greek had not. It really only comes to that.
>>
>>334805427
No, it's not, you illiterate imbecile.

Hercules is the latinised version of the Greek name Herakles. Throughout the Renaissance and the High Middle Ages latanisation was quite common, for example Karl > Carolus, Yeshua > Jesus and Moshe > Moses.

Holly fucking shit, this is /v/, you're supposed to be a nerdy intellectual, not a normie retard. Disney...
