I'm just talking about the double jumping. People are like falling to their deaths because they're saying the double jump is messed up. I'm just not having that problem because it feels exactly like the other games. I know the platforming isn't its strong point, but i don't think the game really requires all that much actual platforming, just jumping over gaps and whatnot.
I didn't have a single problem with double jumping in the demo or in my Titan run. I started a new run on Easy to get the last few trophies and there was one place in Hades that was definitely screwed up at least temporarily. I tried double jumping well before the ledge, a little before it and right at the edge, it made no difference. I would fly for 1-2 seconds then fall to my death even though I was still holding X and had not gone very far. I exited to the main menu and reloaded my game and it was fine after that.
They could have. But the problem was continuing the story from the God of War 2 right, where Kratos became a complete asshole with nothing but vegeance.

Yeah, I felt the platforming felt the exact same as it did before. I died a lot because of weird camera angles that didn't let me properly gauge where/when to land though.

I think there's a glitch with the double jump, there seems to be an obscene amount of people complaining about it and than people like me who have had zero problems with it. I think like the R1 glitch, there may be a glitch with the double jump.

I think so too...there were quite a few times when i would jump with X, press X again and hold it, but Kratos would fall like a rock. Then i wouldnt have issues again for a while, then out of the blue it would happen again. I've been gaming for 20+ years and one of my favorite game types is action/adventure and i would say most modern titles like this..if not all of them involve some sort of jump/double jump mechanic. I'm not stupid..i know how to double-jump. :lol

It was brought up in here a few times. And it's the ledge issue, not the jumping itself or the x Button. You really do have to jump early, well before the ledge. I was having the same issue, especially in the three judges portion. But once I got it down, I never had a problem after. But it's not the most perfect execution ever. The whole invisible wall thing is wonky because it's not uniform. A lot of spots have it but some do not.
I think I might know what the problem is with the double jump. I figured it out in Hades by the first save point. Some platforms have a barrier in place which prevent you from walking off, you'll simply run into an invisible wall. If I were to try to jump to another platform before I touched that wall, the second jump wouldn't register. If I run to the edge, then jump, I could double jump no problem.
Granted, this isn't the case everywhere since there are some platforms with no such boundary, but you get my point. I think someone should try to test this out.
the only real problem i have is that my 1080i sony hdtv isnt centered properly, so I had to go into the display settings in the game to change the x and y axis, didnt have this problem with other games eh
+1 for jumping glitch problems. I feel like I need to jump a bit early for the double jump to register. If I to use normal platforming "run to the edge and jump" timing, I seem to die pretty often.

Having to suffer through 5 min of them talking about what a terrible design decision it was for SSM to put the QT events on the edges of the screen because they can't see them makes me feel like I am listening to a Matlock Podcast review of the game.
OMG this game just glitched out so bad on me. I was in the part right after when you first meet the hammer dudes in Hades, and the little tunnel opening after you glide down to the health chest is a glitch portal (if you can picture what that is)
The edges repeat themselves endlessly with the camera movements, that kinda thing. So i jumped in, to my risk mind you, fearing this thing could crash my Trey and I didnt stop falling.

It's not a glitch, it's a game design flaw. Basically, the borders for the edges in past GOW gaes were right outside of the edge, but in GOW3 they're right on the edge, so if you wait until you're at the edge before jumping you'll hit the barrier and it'll screw you up. Just jump slightly before the edge and you're fine.
So I've been playing with the "New Game +" glitch, hoping you could sequence break something significant. You can.
With the Whip, you can activate the bridge outside Aphrodite's chambers to completely skip the Tartarus/Cronos battle/Omphalos Stone deal. I guess that leaves Hephaestus alive, toiling away down there :lol
It's also possible to
run on any Hermes surface, including the wall in The Forge. Unfortunately, the Hyperion Gate up there does nothing until you actually meet Aphrodite. You can also run up the wall before the Hermes fight, but after advancing a few screens the game stops streaming in new data and Kratos will fall to his death.
Pretty fun, all in all, but it's very obvious why there's no true New Game + option this time around. Even if hit boxes earlier in the game were removed, there are a number of combat glitches that occur when you attack bosses with weapons you're not supposed to have yet.

I had issues with the double jump for a while until I started doing the X inputs quickly.
My personal take on the issue is that if you delay inputs too much --kind of like how you'd delay jump inputs to max out height in any other game-- the second press causes you to plummet when you're over a gap.
That may not be the case but I never mess up any more.

How dumb they have to be to not realize that they did that precisely so you don't have to look at what symbol is on the QT event, but just press the button that's physically on that same side of the front buttons group when you catch its appearance in your peripheral vision?

Cool stuff, even if it doesn't end up working out in full.
Finally wrapped up Titan mode last night. I kind of doubt I'll play through Chaos mode, not anytime soon anyway. I really enjoyed Titan's difficulty, it would have made for a pretty satisfying Normal imo (although I know a lot of people would have gotten frustrated and probably not finished the game). Normal is really just too much of a cakewalk.
Still missing some trophies, but I don't really care too much about trophies in general. Still have Demon's Souls sitting here unplayed.

But my peripheral vision is kinda borked since my right eye is fucked up due to keratoconus and my left eye is focusing on the action in the middle of the screen, not the edges of the screen :| The placement of the QTE symbols would probably my only major complaint against GoW III.
Your right man I was hoping for a intelligent roundtable discussion but I just got a bunch tunnel visioned slow talking middle-aged dudes. I must have just wanted some punishment.
What? The new QTEs are done so much better. Now I can finally see wtf is going on and click the buttons at the same time. It's great.
I'm up to
Chronos
on Titan mode and I've clocked in about 7.5 hours so far. Any idea how far into the game I am? I want to make this last as long as possible :lol I've spent a lot of time just exploring around.
It's funny how wildly different QTE implementation is in Heavy Rain. But I love what they've done with them too. Making the symbol move together with the action so when your eyes naturally track the action, you never have to look away to see what you need to press.

Its going to be a long time before we get an intelligent round table discussion for a video game. The maturity just isn't there right now among the "journalists".

Can anyone tell me if the USA version of the game has multilingual options?
