the part bef the spider webs where it seems impossible, just stay at the center near the chain, it's a safe spot for a bit.Chris_C said:
but yeah bad design on that section especially after you hit something, your screen is blocked by the falling debris and you get insta-owned. they should have reduced the opacity of the debris once you get hit. as good as the game is, there are some simple improvements that they missed.
Thats needlessly cumbersome. Just switch to the Claws of Hades and evade. Every weapon has different evade animations and this one is definitely the quickest. You clear that tail with plenty of time to spare. Its almost unfair.corrosivefrost said:
Note: I didnt figure this out immediately. It was one of those "wait a goddamn minute" moments.
No, you see, there's just one particular part of that jump. First there's some wooden platforms, then some fireballs, then some pillars, then a lot of fireballs THEN two wooden spiderwebs in a row that are just RIDICULOUS.RoboPlato said:
RIDICULOUS.
I eventually passed it by sticking very, very close to the chain. That seemed to work. Still squeaked by with like a sliver of health.
See, what ticks me off is that while the battle was difficult, I only died one time (got overwhelmed by the dual anubis guys because I blew my rage of the gods too early.) I died 10x getting to the stupid thing.ZeroRay said:
That is a problem I have always had with the GOW games. They stick in these stupid puzzle or QTE set pieces with instant death as failure, and it totally fucks the flow. I can appreciate the purpose of QTEs, to let the player do something cool while still maintaining the barest semblance of control. But at least make them easy. Multiple reloads are never epic.

You serious? Theres only one direction you can go. The sequence is pretty story important, and you feeling lost is exactly what you should feel.
Well there you go.
RoboPlato said:
Yeah, I realise that. My problem is I can't deal with up=down, down=up flight or camera controls. I mean if it's something like Warhawk I can, but not generally.

So true, I hit one beam and I can pretty much bet on hitting the next three.

Can anyone tell me where the best place to get the 1000 hit combo is? Want to make sure I get that one on my second playthrough.

Cool, thanks.
Quick question -- should I play that part on Titan so the enemies don't die as quick, and therefore I can rack up more hits?

Sweet. I beat it on Titan last week but want to do my second playthrough on Normal so I can chill out a little more and just enjoy watching Kratos destroy everything in sight.

I wish there was a hidden DLC link to unlock the GOW2 God of War Kratos upon completing Chaos.Raist said:Nice, welcome to the club!
Enjoy not getting any reward for that

So is the jump in difficulty from Titan to Chaos bigger than the one from Normal to Titan?

I think so.

yeah i got really annoyed at this part too. it's just stupid. it's like some 'intern demo to get your first job in the industry making flash games' type gameplay. not to mention fundamentally broken.
things like this are what led to my little review/rant that most people here scoffed at. this game is still pretty good, but it has a lot of problems, some that past gow's don't even have. what annoys me most is the thought of the designers and programmers getting all smug with the endless streams of "best game ever" when they really fucked up a good deal. if they can fix their shit for the next game, i'll be the first one to praise them endlessly. but if they've already convinced themselves they do no wrong and the next game has the same stupid shit in it, that would be sad indeed.

My friend came over to play this the other day and accidentally wrote over a bunch of my saves from the past week and a half or so. I basically lost half or more of my progress, and I was just past the part where
Oh well, at least I'll be able to plow through with the benefit of experience this time, although I might put off my next run on a harder difficulty for a while now.
On the upside, he got me Dead Space for my birthday, so it wasn't too hard to forgive him.

Just beat it. Overall, very solid game. Great combat (best in series), would have liked more of it as I was just settling into the weapon options when the game ended. Did not particularly like the story, especially the ending which was childish C-movie sap. There is a lot of missed potential there. Enjoyed the level design, but did not think it was as good as the level design in GOW2.
I'm going to play it again now.

So, i finally was able to play some GOWIII yesterday and god, as my first boxed PS3 game is it AMAZING at so many levels.
What i loved so far :
- The intro animation : beautiful, looks like a $100m movie intro
- The scope : how not to be amazed during the opening sequence ? Simply unmatched.
- The framerate : I've been playing 6 hours on it and did not notice any particular slowdown
- The Anti-aliasing : this is the cleanest game I have. Hope all ps3 first party games will get the same treatment on SPUs from now on.
- The textures : how are SMS even capable of fitting this into 256 MB ?
- No loading.
- The sheer diversity of actions.
- The art style.
- The QTEs. During the second boss fight, I was shocked by what I was inflicting to the god.
Well all in all, a hell of a game. A+ in my books.

All Challenges beaten (No Hands was Bullshit)
All but 3 trophies, time to go Titan.
For those that have the ??? Trophy at the end of the list, do you have to make it through that entire section? Or just the ones with

As soon as you enter the re-assembled Labyrinth, you'll see "The Labyrinth" on screen (the first save point inside the box). From this point on, you aren't allowed to die until you exit the Labyrinth with Pandora (that is, until you get on top of it).
Doing this on Titan mode will be hell, fyi.
