Nah, I thought they were a pretty fun break in the pacing. Plus they looked really incredible with some of the visual effects going on.

I mentioned a long time ago that they should migrate the God of War themes to other mythologies. Norse has a LOT of potential incredibly epic shit. And so does Egyptian. Rome is a lot of recurring themes, obviously, due to the nature of their shared Gods and such, but hey...

I don't know what to feel about that. God of War gameplay already had some backlash about feeling old. I don't think just switching the setting will be enough for a lot of people. sure it's a chance to completely overhaul the gameplay, but if SSM do it wrong, they'll only making a clone of their own game.
I hope whatever game they do next don't have any chained weapon that plays similar to GoW games. actually it'd be nice if they make slower paced action game like Demon's Souls.

Bare Hands is hard until you realize that you can just knock enemies off the side. Once you know that and get a strategy to do it the challenge is pretty simple.

Happened to me too. Then I beat the challenge a few minutes later.
Just don't get frustrated. You game better that way. Then again I got the Callenge Trophy today and I beat Bare Hands and Get Stoned within 15 minutes. Guess I'm lucky. :lol
I was about to quit too since I thought I wouldn't have time left but the cyclops threw himself out of the arena with his attack. Guess I really am lucky now that I think about it.

I didn't have much trouble with Bare Hands. Just wait until there's a big group of guys, then grab one and use him as a battering ram and just hit everybody else. Also helps to try and knock the big enemies off, or have them fall off with their lunging attacks.

They should totally mix that up with some sci fi stuff, that would be awesome.

am i the only one that found dog kicking completely useless?
it took me a few times-- now the platinum is mine.
just use your L dodge around the dog- gorgon the satyr- take off the second head, gorgon the second satyr- rage mode the third head then finish off the last satyr with full health-- use whatever-cestus i guess
it took me a few times-- now the platinum is mine.

I'd rather they just used a new character and created an action RPG out of all Greek mythology.

For me the Get Stoned was the most difficult challenge: then i figured out if
Why are there not more costumes after titan mode? I still only have the fear skin-- i've seen 2 or 3 dlc skins-- seems lame :/
I was hoping for an aphrodite skin...
you block and 'fail' the block- you will be instantly stoned, this helps alot in deciding when you want to initiate --also killing the souls gets you a little life if needed

The GOW Wildstorm comic is supposed to come out on Wednesday.
FINALLY!!
I beat Cerberus and the other two suckers in hard mode .... The most satisfying battle in the game. I barely had any health when it ended. :lol
Here is how I did it:
First stage: I did not bother to use my weapons on Cerberus, except the occasional arrow. All I did was kick the dogs on him until the O command showed up. But.... I didn't press O, I waited until he got up again and did the same thing over and over until my Rage of Sparta was full.
Second stage: I used the Nemesis Whip R2 magic the entire time until the Satyr died, then I basically kept kicking dogs at Cerberus until the O command came up.
Third stage: I had a little bit of magic left, so I used it one time and then I immediately turned on the Rage of Sparta and kept hitting Cerberus until the O command came up. And then there were two... I forgot that the Satyrs don't disappear, so I had to actually fight them :lol I basically just used the Cestus on them the entire time, and grabbed them whenever I got the chance. One more hit and I would have died.

They were okay, until the diving one... on Titan that gave me fits.
Imagine my surprise when I finally got through it and was greated with the fire cerberus bs. :lol

Are there any good hi-res screen caps somewhere? I'd love to use one as my background on my laptop.

Yeah, pretty much... that last one forced me to figure out how to use the dash command in those sections... i just used the left analog until that dive.
Welcome to the god of war series platinum club, btw.

My first Platinum. Yay!
And to those having trouble with 'Get Stoned', I too was having a hell of a time until I realized that you can spam the counter on the Gorgon stare. Just block when the stare hits you, fail the counter, and there you go, instant stone. Once I utilized this I had no trouble at all. When the shit gets really crazy, just do your best to keep your distance, and if you're in the clear and a stare hits you, just counter, fail, instant stone. No waiting needed.

Just finished up Titan and got my Platinum!
Overall I thought Titan was just a little bit harder than what I would play for fun. The regular enemy encounters were a lot of fun but a lot of the bosses were just frustrating. A difficulty between God and Titan would have been perfect for me. If I ever play Chaos, it'll just be to laugh at how much I get my ass kicked.
I loved the game overall. I liked the other two GoW games but this one is on a whole other level. It's only my third Platinum, with the other two being both Uncharteds, so getting that is a testament to how much I liked it.

The first one wasn't bad. But the one near the end of the game before you face that big Cerberus is probably one of the worst segments in any videogame ever. Adding shit like that is just so ill-advised, especially when the core fucking gameplay is already great.
Just stick to what you're good at and stop adding horrible gameplay segments in the name of "variety". I'm looking at you too, Dead Space. And Bayonetta.
