Phil Spencer Congratulates God Of War Director On ‘Best Game Of All Time’ Award

Masterpiece of a game

Enjoyed it very much, I don't think it is the greatest game ever though.

I really enjoyed the game. It is the first GoW that I've played, and I'm not sure whether I should attempt the other games as, by comparison, they are unlikely to be anywhere near as good.

I will definitely be playing through the game again a week or two before the sequel is released, as much as anything so as to remind me of the story and characters, but also so that I get used to the X being in the wrong place on the controller. The amount of times I've died whilst playing PlayStation games because they put the X in the wrong place is unbelievable...!

While GoW 2018 was by far my favorite GoW game. It's definitely not the best game of all time. We're not doing that! That poll was unbelievable. Not hating because of love God Of War. It's one of my favorite franchises, but it's not the best game of all time. Too many other contenders for that spot.

To each their own, but I wouldn't even consider it the best God of war game. I definitely preferred the older gameplay. I'll always like the 2nd the most. The PS4 one isn't a bad game by any means though

It's IGN. Their fan base is like 80% Playstation and people under 24. It's obviously, a spectacular game. But a game like Half-Life 2 should take the spot over it. That game and its engine were revolutionary.

Wow, I would have never imagined that God of War would be the best game in history for anybody.

I'm sure some people will disagree and I understand it mentions Phil Spencer so technically it files as Xbox news, but this sounds like two Pushsquare articles now 😂😂😂😂 first about Sony aquiring Metal Gear remake studio Bluepoint and now this. I'm triggered.

And I'm joking.

But still triggered.

Outraged.

I'm practically eating my kindle in rage.

Never coming back.
Bye forever

@Widey85 Hahahah, very good point. Going over there is like walking into the middle of a mass orgy, but not the good kind. 😶

Been gaming for decades including playing and finishing GOW, but it’s not best game of all time, with respect, great game though.
Would like to know the average age of the voters and the demographic.
It also helps GOW that it’s a recent game which stocks in minds.
I would have both Mario 64, generational defining at the time and BOTW above GOW.

I understand how some games got beat but there is no world where anyone thinks God of War if the greatest game of all time. That or they have only played God of war

Can't say I would give some IGN user poll much authority.

@Widey85 Hell yeah to the Deus Ex shout out. That is my favourite game of all time.

That whole ‘tournament’ was laughable and said a lot about the IGN staff who put it together and their readers.

God of War is a great game, no doubt, but it’s not the best ever imo. The Xbox picks were bizarre too, Halo 2. Surely the original Halo deserves a spot more, it was genre defining for console shooters, and I think most agree Halo 3 is better than 2. I love Fable 2 but would have thought Gears of War 1 or 2 would be on there.

Idk it was just really weird and the brackets didn’t even make sense. Like I said it was laughable.

@FriendlyOctopus I already commented on the push square site that its a bit of a joke seeing as Half Life 2 was knocked out by Rise of the Tomb Raider and Mario 64 by Batman Arkham City - but unsurprisingly as much as PS owners love God of War (myself included) the general consensus was similar to the comments on here regarding the general results.

Maybe PureXbox can do their own version or do a vote version so we all decide in a head to head knock out.
My own personal top 3 are Half Life 2, Last of Us and Ocarina of Time. Couldn't chose between them in a head to head though.

@pepsilover2008 god of war 3 had more jaw dropping moments than the reboot I think. I remember playing it watching some of the action and was blown away.

@StonyKL excuse me Wind Waker is the best Zelda game of all time 😏

BOTW was good, but I prefer Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker over it tbh, they’re both great.

Awesome game, might be my favorite in the series, but 'best game of all-time' is quite a stretch.

Overrated game in my opinion. I found the combat boring, and the story was alright. The first 2 hours were the best part of the game. After the first boss fight it went downhill for me.

Morrowind wins. No arguments. Is a fact 😉 hahah

For me, I'd be voting for Zelda: Ocarina of Time or MGS1.
However, the IGN fanbase are probably all too young to have played these games upon release!

It's top 3 all time for me, such an amazing experience!

For me this award goes to Red Dead Redemption 2.

Best game of all time? I wouldn't say that but it's definitely in my top 5.

Breath of the wild or dragon quest 11s for me

It’s definitely up there. I’d def put TLOU 1 an 2 and Uncharted 4 above it tho. RDR2 is def on par with it.

An absolute masterpiece of a game, though I don’t know if I can say it’s the greatest of all time, even if it’s in my top three of all time.

I hope Halo Infinite really takes the combat in campaign to an entirely different level than in the multiplayer portion of the game. I love the multiplayer from the Beta flights but GoW had some sick combat, cool story and really took chances to make something great

@SacredPYRO
Please Square Enix, make more Deus Ex.

Please Arkane Austin, let Harvey Smith make Deus Tex.

I really, really enjoyed that game. Possibly enough to say greatest of all time. Other possibilities in my opinion: Super Mario World, Tomb Raider (2013), Portal 2.

I’d put this game in the LAST ten of any list I’d have! It’s awful, another boring generic Sony third person over the shoulder story simulator. And playing that kid is really frustratingly annoying. Thankfully the older games are still playable when it was fun over the top chain sword swinging action.

God of war is ok best game ver not in my book but certainly better than most of the other games in that poll.

IGN = IGNorant

@trev666 Should also read SONY BIASED FANS as that’s who they are really.

It's a good game, but best game of all time...

Ocarina of Time will forever be the best game in the world.

@UnlimitedSevens Well you tell him what to do, and he’s still annoying as hell and the game is still generic crap.
