I didn't really notice it in this game, especially after the how shitty the edge-jumps were in Darksiders.DeadGzuz said:

the Giant Bomb discussion was actually pretty fair.
I don't totally agree, but they were justified.

You really gotta feel bad for
Hepaestus. All he wanted to do was save his daughter. Kratos is such a dick :/

Actually Heavy Rain has the most perfect use of them. Transparent, yet easy to see, and right on the action without covering the important stuff.

I don't even understand this. Why do people listen to long-ass conversations OTHER people have about games? What does it have to do with your life or what you like? Do those game journalists even ever bring up anything that you never could have figured out or thought about yourself? Such a waste, in my opinion. There's better things to do than listen to old men ramble about video games you do or don't care about.

Out of everything, I think the
scenes between Haephaestus and Kratos are probably at the root of the criticism about the game's overly angry tones. It felt like they were building to something with them, Kratos mistaking Pandora for Caliope, the scene with Apollo where Kratos says he trust Haeph precisely because he was spurned by Olympus. That it ended with Kratos murdering Haeph felt like a missed oppurtunity for some mature-ish character development, and would have made the later compassionate Kratos more believable

Ughh inside the labyrinth on Chaos is a pain in the ass. The amount of Siren, groundhog douchbags, and shieldys are ridiculous. Just when I was about to beat it the game froze.
I agree with this 100%.Dogenzaka said:
At first, while playing the E3 demo, I didn't like the QTE placement. It wasn't because i didn't understand it was relative to the placement on the controller, it just wasn't big enough for me to realize a button has to be press, aka it wasn't "attention catching".
Speaking of which, those of you having difficulties with the flying/falling/icarus wings sections, here's a tip:
Besides using the dodge button (i didn't know of this either, and I platinum'd the fucking game lol) trying looking further up ahead rather than whats coming up next, as if you're driving car. When you lose focus and look whats going on around you, you can miss any openings.
Tip for fire cerberus fight:
First off, you'll need full magic bar, full rage meter, and Level 5 Blades.
First, like someone mentioned earlier just do normal attacks with blades on the first phase. As soon as you chop one head off, have Rage of Olympus activated and try to land as many hits as you can on just the cerberus, as it can hop side to side quickly and mess up Kratos targeting. IF that doesnt get the QTE to pop up, try landing that Square, Triangle, Triangle combo and that should do it. For the third phase, you must use the magic tied to the blades (army or sparta i think is the name). This is also the reason your blades should be at Max level (level 5) to enable the button-prompt for additional raining arrows. Spam that bitch when you're close to cerberus and spam spam spam. If you have magic left over and can no longer activate army of sparta (it uses up about 20-25% i believe), quickly switch to the Claws and use up the remaining magic. That should kill the fire asshole and also weaken the satyrs. After that, focus on dodging aerial attacks from the satyrs and try not to be so aggressive. When one is left, just grab it over and over (winning the QTE battle of course) and you should kill it quickly.
Sorry for wall of words.

I agree with you but I think killing Haephestus actually makes late game Kratos more understandable. He didn't really have any problem with Haephestus until he was attacked. He even seemed like he was letting the whole Cronos trap slide. He identifies with Haephestus because of their hatred for Zeus and the fact that they both lost daughters. That scene shows that Kratos operates out of blind rage and that his anger trumps everything else. When Kratos gets mad he fights and once he starts fighting he can't stop. It reminded me a lot of when he killed his wife and daughter. I always felt like it was his guilt and the vague similarities to the situation with his own family that made him actually care about Pandora and truly want to protect her. It also goes well with when he lets go of Pandora and lets her fall into the flame. Much like with Haephestus, Kratos' blind rage and urge to fight overpowered his small sense of compassion.
I'm probably thinking too hard about the whole thing.

I beat the game yesterday, playing Heavy Rain now.
This game definitely increases my hate for Kratos. I've never liked him, never thought he had any redeeming character qualities. He's just a douchebag. It's lame to see him destroy so much and he's not protecting anyone in the process. Just his own revenge. I like the game, I just hate Kratos. He's the biggest villain of them all.

Makes sense. I mean I've felt bad for a lot of the people Kratos slaughtered but you never knew the "good" ones for more than a few minutes at most. Here, we have a
potential ally that actually treats Kratos like a friend for a decent chunk of the game. Even Kratos seems to care about him in his own demented way.
Gaia, but she wasn't exactly "good". Haephaestus was an endearing and somewhat relatable character compared to her.
Ok final post for tonight.
I myself found a few glitches in the game, such as falling through Gaia in the first fight of the game, 5th phase (what-his-face stabs at you with his trident). I didnt get to record it.
But this next glitch I did:
It was during the boss fight with
has he just kept running in places after he was hurt. Don't click the video of course until you're at least 5 hours into the game. It's not really spoiler heavy, but still I dont want to upset any passionate fans.

Nooooooo! Well, OK. I'll take my time then :lol
Just started up Titan and holy shit it's kicking my ass. :lol
I thought that almost 3 full playthroughs on God would have made it much easier. I can't believe some of you did this for your first runthrough. I'm definitely going to stick with it though, it's the last thing between me and the Platinum.

Mash O a bunch near the little scorpions because they give you health and the QTE sequence won't allow you to be hit, and use the magic that comes with the blades to absorb a hit completely if you find yourself stuck underneath him while he's about to attack.
LiquidMetal14 said:
upgrade your cestus so you have the L1 + square move ... attack the legs by jumping and doing L1 + square ... never stay on the ground, always be jumping ... when he tries to attack you with his tail, air dash towards the screen, if you are stuck just use magic and you won't get damaged .... after the first qte, just keep grabbing the baby scorpions until he finishes his breath attack, it won't hurt you while you are grabbing them ....
Practice beating the first boss on Chaos mode and you'd be good to go :lolRoboPlato said:
Seriously, made titan mode very easy for me.
Son of a bitch here to help.LiquidMetal14 said:
focus on killing the mini spiders when they get too close/too many. Especially after the first phase/QTE. As for the spider itself, its offensive attacks on the first phase are much weaker/less confusing than the second phase. So... here's what i did.
I damaged all six of his legs until they were red, and went on to break three. After you do the QTE and rip his fang out, you kill the baby spiders, his legs will still be damaged and ready to crack in a few hits.
Carry on destroying the rest of his legs, while rolling away x2 when you see it raise it's big tail. Be patient, be aware, and have control of the fight. Don't get too agreesive when things gets hectic, but when they are quiet, go crazy.
Good luck

EDIT: Everyone elses strategy sounds better
:lolJust completed the game 10mins ago, and I just have to rant. Awesome awesome game. I've been avoiding the thread till I've completed the game, and it's worth it. I think it is the best in the series - more memorable moments, more scale, combat to a razor's edge, and excellent pacing. Even better than GOW2, which I thought dragged a little near the end. I really love the parts where they must have like 20 grunts all rushing you at the same time with a minotaur or two thrown in. Awesome.
The graphics and tech is pretty much the best there is on consoles right now, and I'm inclined to say this game looks a lot more impressive than Uncharted 2 simply because of its scale. Then again, I don't this fact needs mentioning. First game where I can say the graphics REALLY look like CG.
Favorite weapon: Cestus. Close range, but oh so satisfying
Didn't feel much for the claw of hades and the lightning weapon (forgot the name) though, they are pretty much just variations of the blades of exile.

1)
max out the cestus and abuse the aerial L1+[] move, you'll end up hitting several legs
2)
try to get the scorpion thingies out of the way first with the blades' magic move. if you're low on health you can grab them for green orbs
3)
BLOCK BITCH
4)
when the camera pulls away it means scorpy is ready to use his stinger attack. you can't block this. as soon as you notice this shit is about to go down hermes-dash the fuck out of the way.
Enemies don't gain new attack patterns, you just have to be smarter about dodging and defending.
On that note, I find hard mode to be a hell of a lot easier than in GOW2. You just have so much more defensive options in GOW3, and the enemies don't behave all that differently from previous games.
p.s. Hades Claws is MAD powerful maxxed out, especially the triangle combo. Everything goes down in two or three combos. I don't get the hate for this weapon. Yeah the grapple attack sucks so much dick I wonder if its non-existent attack power is actually a bug, but it's pretty awesome overall.
The gorgon summon can be very useful. The area with the two satyrs turned out to be easy as fuck thanks to it. CrushDance
