PipeSwinger Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I've been looking into God of War Ascension. I played the beta for it back in January. I have God of War III, but honestly haven't played much of it. It looks very neat though. Do I need to play the full series to understand whats going on. Or can I just jump right in with God of War Ascension? Thanks to all who answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 So farn the others give you the full story but not 'necessary', I doubt this will change for Ascension- pity you are not in EU - we had some very good deals this week on GOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambers35 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I don't suppose it's necessary if you're just going to enjoy the gameplay. But personally I think the story is awesome So knowing it all is important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightWing127 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I played the 2 games in psp then played 3 then 1, then 2. The story is awesome and i'm looking forward for more God of War games. I like Greek Mythology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PipeSwinger Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Thanks guys! I'm strongly considering going back and at least playing some of the older ones. I've always been fascinated with Greek Mythology as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you'll be able to get the HD collections fairly cheap nowadays, and they all have great moments in them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemisthemp Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Story is Ascension --> Chains of Olympus --> GoW 1 --> Ghost of Sparta --> GoW2 --> GoW 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHUNG-FU6699 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I think you can still enjoy the game and story without playing the others but you will get a much better experience if you play the previous games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 to be fair ,as Artemisthemp stated, you could start with Ascension, then go back to the older ones in order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Why don't you complete God of War 3 first? I love the series, currently going through all the games again to 100% the lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, the only reason I haven't played God of War III yet is because I got Tomb Raider so I've been really enjoying that . I'm going to definitely play God of War III before Ascension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Mayus Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 You can get all 5 games for 40$ in the God of War collection. So just get that But as others have said Assencion is the first in the series so you should be fine getting that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrislevy Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Story is Ascension --> Chains of Olympus --> GoW 1 --> Ghost of Sparta --> GoW2 --> GoW 3 Extremely helpful... I have all them games, just haven't dedicated any time to them at all, despite throwing money into this franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I'd do what the Dr. says and buy the complete God of War collection and play those. Sure Ascension may be a prologue to all the other games, but I feel it's better to get the story in order of when the games were released. Maybe that's just me.

hassr Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 you don't necessarily need to play the others before Ascension because Ascension takes place before all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK_Scuba Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I believe Ascension is a prequel to the trilogy so you could play it first followed by 1, 2 and 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laker818 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I believe Ascension is a prequel to the trilogy so you could play it first followed by 1, 2 and 3Dont forget the psp versions chains of olympus and ghost of sparta. Not only are they great games but explains some of the back story mentioned in 1, 2, and 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
