Well I'm not sure if its there because its a PR pic of the ultimate edition, but its the exact same cover as the regular game except under the "God of War 3" title it has "Ultimate Edition".
If you trade it in in the future or something I doubt most Gamestop employee's would catch the difference, if again its there at retail.
Firewire said:
Well, Gamestop wouldn't care if it's a trade in. But I was going to return the sealed copy in the Ultimate Edition, passing it off as the regular edition I purchase on release date. It's just a way for me to play the game the day it comes out without having to pay anything extra.

It's not up to the employee, GS doesn't create different pre-owned SKUs if it had a CE or LE for most used games.
GuardianE said:
And that wouldn't work anyways, for SCEA, when a game is bundled inside something like Resistance 2 was for its' CE- there is no barcode on the back. In place of it it'll say "NOT FOR RESALE".

I'm guessing GoW 3 is no exception to the recent "normal is the new easy" rule, right?
Will start on hard.

Got it yesterday and played it through in one sitting. I have never done that with a game before, but goddamn this was awesome
I won't say much more, but your wait is worth it !

I'm thinking of pussing out and starting on Normal. Last gen I used to play on Easy all the fucking time. I have no idea why I ever did that.

Well I went to my local Gamestop and sure enough the manager told me about the ultimate edition shortage and how unlikely they'll have any for release day. He said the unit numbers for the ultimate edition allocation got cut down from 94,000 to 16,000 corporate wide. Basically for 100% confirmation I have to call back on Monday to see if they received any and if not what the possible ETA would be.
I guess I might make some calls to see if Best Buy will have any extra copies left...

Is it weird that what I'm most excited about is what the March 2010 NPD is going to look like?
March 2010 NPD - There will be only chaos. And lots of GIFs. But mostly chaos.

The ones in 2 werent too bad if you knew what buttons to press....If i recall, you would hold L1 and hit a certain button to knock them in the air, then just jump and hold L1 and spam a different button and you would kill them quick before they hit the ground. I platinum'd both games in GOW Collection but its been a while since i did those challenge rooms...
which i hated btw...

Damn this box is awesome! But as always, I'm pretty sure Canada will fuck this up.

Most likely not. That would defeat the purpose of having harder difficulties in the first place.

Probably because of those stupid French manuals that eat of the cost of the interior.

Well you can choose three difficulties from the beginning:acidspunk said:
Spartan (Easy)
God (Normal)
Titan (Hard)
There is a fourth greyed out --> Chaos (Very Hard)
I know why, but I figured every non US/Japanese multilingual country suffered equally with us, and now I see goddamned Euro copies with interior art.Lion Heart said:
I have no idea why this is a big deal to me :lol it's definitely more the principle than actually caring about the art.

Believe it or not, Quebec will have a French version of the game. My local EBGames told me that when I preordered my game.Lion Heart said:

Yeah it's pretty stupid to speak a language other than english. It's even more stupid if you're bilingual.
-_-
Seriously, I'm pretty sure the collector's box won't be affected by this though...
Every single 1st party game on PS3 is in french. In fact, the only game I can think of that has 2 different versions (one in french, the other in english) is the latest Call of Duty.Fantasy Final said:

Animator said:I know some of you are excited about getting the game but is there really any need to post 2000x1800 images of the game box? It makes navigating the thread a nightmare.
resize like Mailenstein did.
Agreed.

Halo 3 had 2 versions. But I dunno why my EBGames asked me that. Maybe 2 versions too, I dunno.Oneself said:

FYI, you can from the following languages inside the game:
- English
- French
- Spanish
- German
- Italian
- Dutsch
- Portuguese
- Russian
- Polish
That's the EU PEGI version at least.

Except that it works perfectly well in DMC and Bayonetta.
Still, I bet you're right... unless they DO let you play harder difficulties with unlockables enabled but deny you trophies for it. We already know that they deny trophies for using unlockables, but we don't know whether you can use them on difficulties you haven't beaten.
Just played for a few hours. Won't spoil anything other than to say, I enjoyed God of war 1 and 2 more because of the spectacle and the story. And 3 has that so far in spades, but I feel for the first time. The combat matches the huge scale and epicness the story and environments have always supplied.
Fighting feels slower, it feels heavy. You use magic that looks and feels like it would actually damage a mythological creature and a god itself. So far it is deep, and super responsive. It has the variety and move set of a devil may cry while matching Ninja Gaidens focus on combat and enemies that can kill you if you are sloppy. Even the qte have been improved to the point where I can hit the buttons just by watching the four sides of the screen in a way that I never miss how amazing it looks when Kratos is actually performing one of his epic moments.
Don't wanna prattle on, but I expected a grand epic story. A huge varied and breathtaking environment. What I didn't expect was combat and combat mechanics to improve to the point where this game notches it's own mark. There is Ninja Gaiden, there is Devil May cry, and now you can add God of War to the list of fantastic action games that challenge your senses and twitch skills without sacrificing a grand story in the process. Bravo, and enjoy guys.
