First of all, I always did dig GOW, but it's the same ol shit. That one boss where you pull the pillars down, one on the right side one on the left side. Geez, ripping off the scene from when you fight the big statue in the other GOW. While I understand this is a small small fraction of the game, it doesn't get me excited that its the same formula. I hope they are keeping some new shit underwraps for a surprise. Not sure how they topped the last GOW like u said
Visually, I think they have, as well as refining Kratos' move set and abilities - just because they borrow a similar technique for taking down a boss from a previous game (hell, any game could be accused of that - "hit it in it's weak spot!"), doesn't mean the entire game will be a rehash of ideas or is unoriginal. Add to that, the boss was quite impressive - the sheer scale and multiple encounters made it enjoyable for me, at least, and I look forward to the game.
