The creator of Final Fantasy, Hironobu Sakaguchi has been using twitter to say what he thinks of God of War 3 and it seems like his thoughts are a bit of a mixed bag.
It all started when he tweeted regarding the opening sequence when he said,
A long opening movie. It’s nicely done, but you don’t need this. It’s movie-like, but you don’t need long openings in games.
That wasn’t the end of the criticism as later on he also tweeted,
Naturally, I started on Easy Mode. A Lord of the Rings-like fortress. A real time scene? You can’t skip this??? That’s annoying. The graphics are, as expected, nicely done.”
Thankfully the Final Fantasy man did have some good things to say about the game though, as later he tweeted in English,
Sorry, my English is poor. lol Now I’m playing GoW3 and write some comments. This is good game !!
So there we go, despite some criticism it seems that Mr Sakaguchi has plenty of praise for God of War III too, although you do have to wonder why the creator of Final Fantasy (isn’t the game just one long cutscene?) is complaining about cinematics? You can’t please everyone I guess.
