Oh geez just let someone like a game!

i'm really not comfortable with how many likes this post got by good people

look

here's what jason is saying in his own jason way
the game is bad; you've admitted it's shallow and dumb (it's dumb fun)
you can like the game all you want but you can still admit its bad

you can find enjoyment in a game like castlevania: lords of shadow but dont bring it up in conversations about Serious Game Design or This Is A Legitimately Best Title Ever™ lists

Yes it's a dumb shallow game but it's also extremely polished, well designed and fun with a strong combat system. It's universally praised as a good game so please stop acting as if all opinions which are not yours are "beneath" you and that any "educated" person would agree that God of War is bad. Castlevania is in the same genre (which annoyed a lot of people but that's a whole other can of worms) however the sheer difference in quality between the 2 games is obvious to anyone who's played them.

I would say that God of War 2 is one of the best PS2 games ever made (up there with Okami, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Gradius V). It's not as if this isn't an opinion held by many. Having this opinion does not make me stupid or other opinions I hold less valuable. Your in the 'universal opinion minority' here to, so maybe it's time you looked and thought "hmm that game is obviously good but just not my cup of tea" instead of "that game is fun but obviously bad and people who like it are wrong and are fools to see it as a great game."

I'm not saying your opinion is wrong (as opinions can't be) but your attitude in your post is quite frankly disgusting and hugely insulting regardless of your intention.
