Talk:God of War (2005 video game)

message: I just have a question about the screenshots.  Were they just lifted from a website (probably the developer's)?  If so, we can't use them.  Since this is a PS2 game, I highly doubt those are actual screen grabs—they're too high resolution.  If they are legit, the information proving they are legit needs to be put on the image's pages.  Just saying they're fair use doesn't cut it.  Say where they came from and the reason they're okay to use.  If they're not legit, they need to be deleted.
If they are, in fact, legit, they'd be better spread around the article with Good Captions(tm).  A gallery of images with no descriptions is non-standard and next to useless.  Good screengrabs with nice, informative captions are a great boon. — Frecklefoot | Talk 20:31, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
:Not that anyone probably cares anymore, but chances are those are legit screengrabs, probably from progressive scan mode (which is higher resolution) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.192.184.19 (talk) 16:25, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

message: It's funny that we have an article on this video game at the default "God of War" article when I'd expect a disambiguation page instead. Maybe we should like to one that has a list of gods of war from various religions and mythologies? -- LGagnon 21:51, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
:If we had such an article, it would be under God of war, not God of War.  Capitalization makes the difference here. Only titles of works of fiction, like this, have a title with other capitals than the first word on wikipedia. Right now, God of war is a redirect to this page, but if you feel so inclined, you could make it a general article on war deities, or a disambig page. Fieari 01:38, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
There should be a God of war disabiguation page with Gods from different religions.--193.188.109.237 14:49, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

text: God of war is an epic game. If a movie is made of it then it should be directed by an epic directer. Troy and Gladiator are epic films and the god of war film should have the same epic feel. One directer that should not ever be involved in the making of the God of war movie is Uwe boll. He displayed interest in the film and when I heared that I drove my fist through the wall. He would completely deastroy the film. Brett rattner was said to have been a choice for directer. Don't let him direct the film. The Rush hour films are good but those were comedy films. His X-men3 film was not good. If he can't make a good full on action film then he should not be allowed to direct God of war. Get an epic directer.

:Nevermind, I got it.
Also, the following paragraph provides a link to Capcom's GOW site (I'm assuming they had something to do with the Japanese release) stating that it shows a video of the censored women in the game. I was unable to find such a video. Can someone please point it out to me or has the video been removed (and therefore the link needs to be removed as well)?
:The American and European version features two topless women, whom Kratos can have sex with (while the camera views a vase on an end table, which is eventually toppled by all the goings-on).  A video on the game's Japanese website reveals that, in the Japanese release, these women wear lacy tops instead.  Also, the Oracle of Athens no longer wears a transparent shirt as she does in the American and European release.  Furthermore, in the Japanese version it is impossible to harm the humans who run around during the early stages of the game.

message: My rationale for adding Medusa as a boss monster as opposed to just another enemy:
1) Unique name and appearance--There is only one Medusa in the game; the other enemies which resemble her are simply "gorgons," in the plural. Likewise, she has a unique color scheme, whereas all of the other gorgons are colored identically.
2) Unique fight-- The player will only ever fight Medusa once, as opposed to encountering numerous Meduas throughout the game.
3) Must fight in order to pass area; unique reward-- Although there are numerous instances wherein Kratos must kill numerous enemies to pass a given area, he must only fight Medusa in a one-on-one battle to pass through. In addition, in exchange for killing her, he receives a unique item.
4) Mention in GOWII-- The fight with Medusa is significant enough to be mentioned in GOWII as a small plot element.209.169.73.213 04:17, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Just leaving a vote without explaining the rationale behind your arguments isn't very helpful. Have a look at Wikipedia:How to write a plot summary#What to cut: not everything that happens in a story (whether it be a game, a book, a film, or what have you) belongs in a plot summary. Plot is not the same as narrative; it's not just a listing of every event that happens in the story. In this case, the first level of the game is more of an exposition and a tutorial than part of the plot; it doesn't provide the impetus for the rest of Kratos' adventure. Just because it's a highly-praised part of the game doesn't make it critical to the plot. Have a look at some other video game articles that have been rigorously evaluated; for example, Final Fantasy VIII#Story excludes parts of the game that, although they take up a lengthy amount of gameplay, don't need to be recounted in detail to explain the game's plot. rʨanaɢ (talk) 00:56, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

User Bluerim believes that the second paragraph of the lead section should have a very brief summary of the game as seen here. In the past, I had argued for that version, however, after reviewing WP:LEAD and WP:VG/GL, I believe the summary should be expanded a little more, as seen here.
Which version should be used and is more appropriate for a GA article? Thanks. JDC808 (talk) 05:55, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Disagreement over lead section 

message: 1. I left the lead alone. Though I prefer the other version, yours is fine.
2. Image in Gameplay section. It needs to be moved up because (at least on my screen) it breaks into the Plot section.
3. Setting. This is the first game in the series. The section should be introduced as if there weren't any games before it, just like the Gameplay section does. So we shouldn't start the section with "As with other games in the God of War franchise..." For the other games in the series, this is acceptable because there are games that preceded them. This game does not have a game that precedes it and as such should not begin with that statement. Also, with linking Aegean Sea, "Sea" must be included in the wikilink or else the link is a disambiguation page for Aegean.
4. Characters and Audio sections. I've been moving those based on the model established for Chains of Olympus which under Plot, it's Setting, Characters, Story, and then Audio is a sub-section of the Development section. JDC808 (talk) 18:30, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

In the reviewers opinion, "it's the Gods that steal this book" because it is they who "hold the whole thing together." He said that the novel provides a new level of explanation, for example, Athena is responsible for the gods aiding Kratos and the relationship between the gods is explained, which was not during the game. The reviewer did note that because of how frequent the fights are described, readers might "find [themselves] growing tired of certain confrontations." He further elaborated that all of the enemies in the game are accounted for, "but the interest in hearing about every encounter loses its appeal." The reviewer also felt that the sense of scale of the world that the novel provided did not do the game justice. Despite its minor criticism, the reviewer concluded that "Kratos and the God of War name were treated with the respect and understanding they deserved."

replies: text: Hm. I don't know. Nunchucks are the two sticks connected together by a chain or rope, the blades are two separate blades that are chained to each wrist and when he swings them, the chains extend from his wrist then retract. The flail seemed more similar because of the way you would attack with it. I don't know if you could see them too well in that last video I had linked you for the desert, but here's a video that you can see them better.

replies: text: Ah, wow, that's not what I thought at all.  It looks pretty fun though; too bad they never ported it to PC. :)  Anyway, I found out there is an article for chain weapon.  Maybe it's similar to something there, or you could just link "chains" to chain weapon. —<B>Torchiest</B> talkedits 05:27, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

message: On the God of War page, there is a description of the poster, that says
Kratos  facing Pandora's Temple, however, the poster clearly indicates Kratos overlooking the Olympus, you can observe the red front door. So, it is not Pandora's Temple, is the Olympus. =  — Preceding unsigned comment added by LucasMello53 (talk • contribs) 20:25, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Looks excellent to me. Have got to the end of the Development section and have made a couple of minor changes.
In the section on Development, you may like to consider the use of the vague 'and/or' in this phrase: 'which gives players the choice between normal combat, magical attacks, and/or using the QTE feature to kill a foe'. Either the attacks use only one of the features (in which case use 'or') or they may use a combination (in which case, you could just use 'and').

message: I removed supefluous 'publisher' parameters from citations, in line with the recommendations at Template:Cite#Publisher, but User:JDC808 has put them back again, The guidelines recommend against specifying publisher in these cases for the simple reason that it's no use. The purpose of a citation is to allow a reader to find the reference for a claim in the article. Being told, for example, that IGN is owned by Ziff Davis, or that The Hollywood Reporter is published by Prometheus (at the time of that article – the company has since been renamed), is no help whatever for that purpose. So why insist on retaining useless clutter? Colonies Chris (talk) 17:04, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Like I said in my edit summary, no where in that link does it say the publishers needed to be removed. You're saying it's useless clutter, but I see it as giving full credit. I always cite the sources as they've been done here (which has been praised at FAC). Why change that? If it's not broke, don't fix it. --JDC808 ♫ 17:45, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: 'Giving full credit'? That's not what a citation is for, it's not useful, and it's absurd. Are we supposed to be grateful to Prometheus for publishing THR? Colonies Chris (talk) 23:10, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
