Has Ronald D. Moore played God of War?

After Ronald D. Moore announced that he was developing the next God of War game on The Sackhoff Show, he mentioned he was not a gamer. This led Shakhoff to inquire of Moore whether he had ever tried his hand at the game, to which Moore responded negatively.

While reiterating that he does not play games, Moore stated that he had attempted to play the game but had failed. He highlighted one of the reasons behind this being that he grew up in the "arcade era." In his time, he would simply go to a local arcade, insert his coins, and hammer "on the buttons." He mentioned some of the games he used to play at the arcades were Asteroids and Centipede.

He also highlighted that one of the reasons he cannot set foot in contemporary gaming is that he finds the new controllers too perplexing. Joking about the presence of numerous buttons on modern controllers, Moore said:

"Press R1, which one's R1, oh I'm dead! I can't quite get a hold of that."

Having said that, Moore revealed that his wife and children do not experience as much trouble as he does when playing with controllers. Emphasizing how his wife, costume designer Terry Dresbachc, is a professional gamer, Moore disclosed that she plays Skyrim a lot and has been playing the game for about 15 years.
