I remember alot of feedback that GoW2 was TOO similar to the first game when it was released...I suppose some people are just more vocal in this thread. Fair enough

Beat it on Titan now, got the final boss on the first try, didn't even get to see all his special attacks this time. :lol I liked the game even more on my second run, the difficulty makes things a lot more satisfying. I still have issues with the final boss not being as epic as it should've been, but whatcha gonna do.
Only three dumb trophies away from Platinum.

Any of you guys get this HD God of War Video on the PSN store for $9.99? Was it worth it?
I usually hate people that say dumb crap like this but the real way to play the game is on Titan it is so damn enjoyable. Its the perfect amount of difficulty since the game challenges your ability to switch weapons counter and dodge instead of just being cheap.

I don't have a PS3 nor do I own this game but I played it at my friends house and it was amazing. I was blown away by it's awesomeness. I must have played it's first 25 min and it was so great. The mini game type finishing moves were so sick. The scale is really what is so great about it
I really want a PS3 slim now. Get this game.

I need someone to clarify this for me. In GOW2 and GOW3, is Kratos still considered the god of war (or at least a god)? It's been awhile since I've played GOW2, so forgive me if the question was answered in that game. If Kratos is technically still a god, it would help explain how he was able to defeat the other gods of Olympus so easily compared to Ares. If not, whatever, no big deal. 
So, I finally got my friend to bring over his PS3 so I could play this on my 50-something inch awesome TV, due to my PS3 being broken, and my inability to find one in stock at Gamestop. All I have to say is HOLY FUCKING SHIT WTF OMG HOW THE...???!?!?!?!?!? WHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

He got his GOD powers absorbed into the Sword of Olympus. In GOW2 he received Titan powers.Jack Scofield said:I need someone to clarify this for me.

He loses those Titan powers at the start of GOW3.
Talking about of my ass of course.

I don't think I'm giving the other 2 games a free pass. I *just* played them both. God 1 had its own problems (namely camera problems, Hades, and last phase of the last boss fight), but God 2 is definitely better than this game. It is just better paced.
He is absolutely right: God 3 has certain HOLY SHIT moments which are unsurpassed. The rest of it is like the other games. However, its pacing is not as good. The concept of the puzzles isn't as good. Its story is not as good. Basically, it's got higher highs, lower lows, and it's rather more uneven.
Great game, but I'm not going to remember this as an all-time classic. Definite visual benchmark, though.
Anyway, I agree with Rez completely.

New game+ glitch? What have I missed? I thought there wasn't a New Game+ in GoW3.

No, he lost his godly powers at the beginning of GoW 2. He is still, however, a demigod.

What's the final verdict on FF XIII? I kind of want to buy it to give me my FF fix, but after the extremely negative backlash making it seem just as shitty as FF X was, I don't know if it's worth it, really..?

Isn't there always someone who can't stand a game?There is no game that can receive a throughout 100% recommendation from everyone. I personally think that Santa Monica has set the bar high in every single God of War title. They tried their best to deliver and for 95% of their ideas I would stick my neck out for them at any time.
Bottom line is that God of War III definitely delivered what Santa Monica announced:
Epic Scale
Fun Gameplay (remember Stig...saying that over and over again)
Puzzles as well as Sex mini game
I mean seriously they listened to the fans and for me this is one defining experience and I would recommend this game to everyone who owns a Tr3y.

umm... it's complicated. I actually think it's pretty damn good at what it does, but recommending it to others isn't something I'd feel comfortable doing.Combichristoffersen said:
My advice is to rent it and play through to and including Chapter 3. If you're liking the combat (which opens up in Chapter 3), it is worth sticking around for, but if you just hate everything about the game then there isn't really much in the first 25 hours that will change your mind.
If you hated FFX, then I would be very, very surprised if you liked this.
(Even though I thought X was not so great and I really enjoyed my time with XIII. So, yeah, confusion. Just rent and decide for yourself.)

Problem is, there's nowhere to rent games around here, and it seems like there are few, if any, stores left in Norway that are dealing with video game rentals (everything was better when I was young, when we'd rent a Mega Drive with Sonic 2 and play the shit outta the game AND GET OFFA MY LAWN YOU FILTHY KIDS!). The combat actually seems to be the most interesting part about the game. It's supposed to be like the combat in FF XII (which I loved), only on a separate battle screen?
I'm trying to decide whether to go for FF XIII, Dante's Inferno (for more God of War gameplay) or a PSP just to play GoW: CoO

Excellent tech piece on God of War 3 by Digital Foundry - not too many major spoilers:

Reading this made me want to make love to the entire SSM team. They may consider themselves forewarned. Fucking stunning work all round.

Yesterday immediately after the patch, I tried to load an Autosave file and it hung on the loading screen forever.
Just now I am on
and it hung on loading for 3 minutes or so and I turned it off. Anybody else having troubles with this? 60GB BC PS3
Reloaded, and it froze trying to load the save screen at the beam of light in that spot.
What is the deal?

Just finished the game yesterday. WoW
sure it can be improved, but the game is outstanding. The 'worst' thing may be that it tries to end the trilogy so in goes a bit too much on the narrative/cutscene side (like MGS4 but not thath much of course) and that does not fit Kratos very much. Finding notes on the floor Resident Evil Style was a bit strange too.
Because of that different style, i found the game to have less combat, however gameplay has improved, combat is ver organic yet still brutal, weapons are awesome, so are subweapons , and art is just otustanding. I'd love to see more stages and variety but with with previous games almost everything had been explored so there was no much else to put in the game. Also, every level is so rich and has such detail i doubt it could be done without killing their budget
So far for me GOW3=GOW2>GOW>>>GOW CoO
but being all of them must have games everybody should try at least once.

For some reason I can't download 1.01 or pass it to get to the game without my PS3 freezing/rebooting. For like the past 2 weeks the PSN has been a gigantic piece of shit with all the errors its been giving me.
I dunno if this is a known bug or not, but it happened to me on the
ending scene ..
interactive
you know, the one where you have to punch Zeus's face.. I was basically punching him for 3+ minutes with the whole screen covered in blood, and it didnt stop untill I restarted the PS3 after I got tired :lol

It's the same video that's included in the Ultimate edition and I think it's worth it for that price. It's something like 3300MB in HD, pretty informative.

man what the hell is up with this game?
3 weeks without a TV, I finally get to play.. I am early in the game in Hades and the game feels that it lost it's soul compared to GoW1 and GoW2
I passed the River Sticks and the early Hades stage (passed the 3 Judges bit) .. it is so boring down here in this stage
I know GOW games always have a boring 2nd stage (2nd chapter) but does it get more interesting than this?
I will finish the game and post my impressions later.. but so far Chains Of Olympus is trumping it in the fun factor.. I hope it gets better

Yeah, there's a bit of storytelling down there, but you're close to
fighting Hades and moving on to faster paced chapters.

so, GoW3 MLAA is the result of SSM working together with Sony UK tech group. can I assume that any new project by Sony (at least SCEA and SCEE) from now on will use this new MLAA method? I hope so.
I can't believe people prefer GOW2 over GOW3. Other than length of the game, GOW2 has nothing on this.
When I played GOW2, I was like just let the game end already, it's one massive bore-fest full of unnecessary boring puzzles. Just to open a simple gate, not even a major gate, you need to drag a pedestal, set it on a switch so gate don't close. Or just to climb a simple ledge you have to drag another pedestal, and they send you on a dungeon-quest to find that one stupid pedetal etc, etc. So stupid
