I tend to excuse things like that in my head by saying I either exhausted it or broke the bones in its wings.
Edit: Would also join in on the begging but I'm far too classy for that *puppy dog eyes*
Chains of Olympus was fackin' great. It's some peoples' favorite God of War.

probably because the store hasn't updated yet
Yeah, I realize that it is different opinions. Still hilarious to see it unfold on the same page. Oh and I am not used to being around in an OT when a game launches.
A few pages page, some people said it was under the services/account list and not the downloads list. Might want to check that out.
I haven't had an issue with the camera being zoomed out too far really, but the sound design is just....abysmal. I can't believe a game of this caliber has been shipped out like this. Sound effects completely go silent, parts of the music suddenly drop out randomly. There's no feedback to my actions 75% of the time.
I was hoping this was just a demo issue, but its a serious hindrance to the enjoyment of the actual game.

Try changing the Audio to "Stereo" and see if that works
It shows up on the services list but there is no option to download. My guess is that graywolf323 is right and has something to do when the store updates later today. I hope this is the case.

Wow, just noticed there are a bunch of demos on the disc. That's good because I haven't played a few of these games and never got around to actually DLing the demos. I hope these aren't links to the PS store. Anyway Sound Shapes and Flower will be played later today along with the game. I got work for now.

So they are still not unlocked for you? Hm. I thought that was their way to prevent them from being shared across accounts/PS3s by having it in services only or something. I will try when my copy arrives. Maybe it is really just the store update though.
Edit: Finally, my copy is here. I won't be able to finish my class's homework now. >_>
Ok this is what im dealing with right now, im assuming its a bug and tweeted it to Todd...
If its not i guess ill look real dumb but i cant figure this out.

That beginning was crazy. As always, never let other people's impressions pull you away from a game

The combat is more restrictive then ever. This game is making GoW3 look like GoW2.
Totilo was pretty positive in his review:

Also, Game Informer calls it a stumble and still gives it an 8.0:

No, it is. They've tried to change some things for variety sake, and it's backfired by making each of the individual parts that much weaker, and hiding the higher attacks/magic behind upgrades and Rage meters makes combat that much more one dimensional and repetitive.

I'm enjoying it so far. the pacing is weird but it seems to be picking up. I am not really liking the new counter R1+X. I wish they just would of kept it as a timed block. Feels strange. Didn't they have the old counter in the demo?
God fucking dammit! The game quick saves before just about every save and every time you die you rue spawn with full health. As someone who liked managing my health and magic in previously games this blows. On the plus side for people who want an easier game you can select "load last checkpoint" from the pause menu after every fight to respawn right where you are but with full health, but I don't
Why even have health chests? Why not just put in regenerating health if this is how you want to handle it?
Just another casualty of a lack of save points. In previously games if you got into a pickle where you are checkpointed at the start of a hard battle without enough health to win you could always reload your hard save. Since this game relies on auto save they have to insure that you reload with enough health to win every fight and I hate it. Dead Space 3, The new 3ds Castlevania, and now God of War. This is quickly becoming one of my biggest pet peeves.

An 8 from GI for a AAA game is like getting a 5 from everywhere else. That's about as low as their scale goes for big games.
On a side note I like that the game offers some slight branching paths for secrets in areas but they need to do a better job at showing which one progresses the story once you're in the right one. I just locked myself out of an area that had at least 2 powerup boxes with a puzzle because I accidentally progressed and I can't go back. There was also an area all the way to the right side (I picked left at first) that had god knows what. I only went left because the camera went up the right path so I assumed that was the story path.
edit: Yeah I miss manual saves too mostly for the situation I just described.
Do you respawn with full health on hard, too?
Yes. That is what I am playing on.

What is GAF smoking with this game?
6 hours in and I am totally blown away. Holy fuck, it is pure awesomeness.
I don't know what is wrong with some of you people. If anyone of SSM still reads, keep it up!
My ranking so far:
GoW3 > GoW 2 = GoW:A > GoS > CoO > GoW1
Also I had no sound issues so far, I play with headphones and switched the sound setting ingame to headphones too.

The whole game was the finale to GoW2, I love finales. And I really didn't like the pacing of GoW1, it is still an amazing game though.

Pretty much. Lets ban this guy.
Even on Hard GoW3 would give the player a little extra health on respawn after a death. But respawning with full health is much worse. Casuals.

if GoW:A is as good as GoW2 I am gonna be very happy when I get home from work today.
That happened to me as I was near the lightning chest...I missed an X prompt for a jump but I didnt die and the game sort of went halway into the game over black screen...the only way I saw Kratos was because he had the game over color(red) on his back everything else around was pitch black hehe...
Game is awesome though so far,just got to the Delphi Tower,with the whole Serpents thing,great stuff...
The sound isn't changed from the demo...dammit. I have no idea what went wrong there but it's extremely frustrating to see a game like this have that affecting it.
Right at the start in the prison, a bug enemy bashes through a door at one point. Literally no sound effect is made from it. Guarding attacks has no twang sound, making it hard to tell if it's even working. Bleh. :\
I'm also on Stereo, it defaulted to that.

Didn't someone else say sounds through headphones were fine... or maybe I'm getting my games confused.
Is there a headphones setting in the game?
yes there was in the demo, i believe.
Oh cool, I'll have to try that out since I also noticed missing sounds in stereo.

Online pass now works cheers. No, didn't get any Heroes DLC. Nothing in the box about it or mail from SimplyGames. You get it?
Nope, I have emailed them asking about it as it states on the website it is included (in the banner advertising the game)

Lol just stop, this game has the best combat out of all of them imo. The subweapons and the elements infused to the blades is a welcomed addition.
