Because they haven't been re-rendered.
Anyone else encounter this bug? I walked into a room and my whole screen goes black, I can still hear my characters audio and control him, just can't see anything. I've tried reloading the save but I keep getting the same bug at the same room. I hope I don't have to start from scratch =[

I'm stuck at the end
Any help?
I'm at the part where you have to protect your family from the clones but I can't for the life of me beat it. I'm on god mode and I've beaten on this on ps2 when it came out but now I can't. Any advice on what to do? I have like no magic left so I can't use any of that. :/
Any help?

If you don't have magic you need to go back to your last save and make sure you do. On God mode it's an essential part of the strategy (which can be found on Gamefaqs so I won't repeat it here). It's been a while since I've played, but I assumed your health and magic are refilled right before that fight. Is that not the case?

Well there's the three parts, that being the second but before it starts there are 2 chests. Guess I'll reload then.hey_it's_that_dog said:

I still can't beat it, it lasts way too long. Fucking hell.

I'm surprised I kept this off my radar for so long. I just finished GOWII this afternoon, and it seals the deal of this collection as a fantastic value. I can't believe the presentation and production values throughout the entire experience. Playing the original GOW puts a lot of modern games to shame in that regard, and the HD upgrade is extremely well-done.
I'm also a big fan of the gameplay, even if it is less complex than other action games. The real meat is in the Challenge of the Gods/Titans, and challenge is an apt description. I swear, the final challenge on both games were exercises in frustration, but it really shows that your progression throughout the game and mastery of the mechanics culminates in what is basically a 2-5 minute slice of the game.
I think I need a break before GOWIII, but I can finally see what all the fuss is about with this series.

i ordered the Asian version this week, solely for the reason that the cover is better. i have a question to those who own this version. are the trophies in English?
my copy of Red Seeds Profile (ps3 version of Deadly Premonition) has Japanese trophies, so i have no idea which ones i have and don't have.

Fuck Hades. What a shit section. Took me half an hour to do both of those rotating towers with spikes on them.
Killed any pacing the game had.

... that was so close to the end too, awful design choice.
Overall I really enjoyed the first game, though. It didn't amaze me like God of War 3 did (partially because of the tech, partially because that was the first game in the franchise I had played) but it was still thoroughly entertaining.
I'm going to wait a bit before I play 2 to make sure I don't burn out on it, but I look forward to it. I hear most people think it's better than the first.

God 2 is a really important, well made game.
God 3 is like a shitty cover of God 2.

GoW 3 is good, but GoW 2 definitely is a better game. GoW 1 is, besides the story, the weakest of the three main trilogy games.

Well I didn't hold off long and started God of War 2 yesterday... and completed it this morning.
Amazing game. Great pacing, set pieces, settings and puzzles all mixed with an interesting narrative and wonderful visuals. Seriously, at times this looked like it was an early current gen game, not an upscaled PS2 game.
2 > 3 > 1.
I kinda wish I didn't play 3 before I picked up the collection now because 2 ended on such an amazing moment and the start of 3 had no impact on me whatsoever compared to how I would've felt if I put the disc in now.
Completely converted to the franchise.

If you have the chance, you should play Ghost of Sparta too. It's great. Chains of Olympus has a pretty decent story, but is otherwise kinda so-so.

I don't have a PSP, I'm afraid, as there are about 3 games in total on the system that appeal to me.

Interesting. I played them all in order, on GOW Collection and I thought 3 was the best. The graphics and smooth game play I thought was leaps and bounds better than GOW1&2. I sold GOW Collection but I'm keeping GOW 3.

Of course the graphics in 3 are superior, it's like night and day there, but that's a bit of an unfair comparison, isn't it?
Story and continuity wise, is playing GOW 3 before GOW2 integral to the experience? I finished GOW1 back when it was released. I borrowed GOW2 from a friend of mine not long after release, and I only got half-ways through the game or so before I got stuck for some odd reason, before I returned the game. A couple of years passed, I found GOW2 cheap, and I still have it unfinished shrink-wrapped in my shelf.
When I bought GOW collection it with the intention of finally playing through GOW2 before GOW3 came out, but games were released and time was spent on other games, and I didn't buy GOW3 because of this until now, when I found it really cheap (for 79kr, which would be slightly less than $15). Since I still haven't finished GOW2 I haven't started it yet.
I really have an issue with these kind of dilemmas. I recently bought Starcraft II for the very first time, and I only played the first mission before I realised that maybe i should play the first game first, because jumping into it without knowledge of past events in the story just doesn't seem right.
Guess I just have to play games in order (preferably chronological) - it just doesn't feel right if I don't.

I understood and enjoyed 3 despite it being my first game in the series, but like I said, I feel it would have been a much better experience in the beginning if I had lead in to it from 2.

The GoW 3 intro features an animated recap of the happenings in GoW 1 and 2, so you don't have to play GoW 1 and 2 before playing GoW 3, but I'd definitely recommend you to do so.

GoW3 combat is also refinement of previous GoW so I also like the combat better in GoW3. the main debate here is set pieces, variety, pacing and story. and well, everyone have their own opinion about that.
imo, GoW2 have the best variety(environment or boss battles they have it all) and pacing, but I don't really like the story and as a whole, GoW3 is much more memorable to me. maybe it's the graphic, but GoW3 is very memorable to me.

It's not really much of a recap though, beyond 'here's some Greek stuff that Kratos has murdered'.

I imagine playing GoW3 right after beating GoW2 to be pretty awesome. I hate it so much when after beating GoW2, I realize I have to wait for years before I find out how it ends.

Madness. If anything it's completely opposite, with GoW 1 having the best story and GoW 2 having the best levels.
Playing God of War I (as well as any God of War game past the GOWIII demo) for the first time in this collection. I'm pretty blown away by it so far. I can see why this was such a big deal when it came out.
Just finished the
. The beam section was infinitely hard until I realized you could jump to avoid the blade arms. The boss of that section was also pretty hard until I learned to just stick to the sides so his grab attack misses you. I know you can jump to avoid it, but timing that is a bitch considering how long your attack animations take.
Once I got the

Hey I thought people who like this thread might be interested to know that the POP HD Trilogy is in stores now as well (40$). Picked it up yesterday and I'm about half way through SOT. Really nice looking port, audio doesn't seem very good but I don't remember if it was like that before or not... no glitches or game stopping issues so far.
Just finished the first game. I'll be honest I thought it was average, maybe because I played it not long after Ninja Gaiden Sigma, the combat is just not as good. However I liked the epic and cinematic scenery of the game. It's just there are some parts of the game that drag this game down a lot (especially the last underground dungeon with all the spikes). I also hate parts where you have to mash buttons fast, as I suck at doing that, I suck at mashing buttons fans which is why I struggled with the first Hydra Boss and the Final battle which both fights required me to do this.
Anyways I will play GoW2 some time in the future, does the game improve on the first, if so what does it improve on and what can I expect
