no its just blades of exile that gets powered-down to level 1 the other 3 are safeLosDaddie said:Anybody else have some experience with the NewGame+ glitch?
I did the glitch for my Titan playthrough and here are my impressions 3hrs in:
- It's fun having all the weapons maxed out in the beginning
- I'm guessing every weapon gets powered-down to Level 1 when you obtain the weapon in the game. This happened to me with the Blades of Exile
- The Cetus is a real beast on the early enemies
- You can definitely crash the game using this glitch. I crashed the game by destoying the blue crystals on the Three Judges' heads when you first enter that area. Had to shut off my PS3 :lol

I know there are a couple variations of the glitch (one be infinite health), but I did the normal/well known glitch where it's just the weapons being available & powered-up from the beginning. My health/magic/item gauges are normal and I've died a few times so far.

Really? That's cool. I didn't get Apollo's Bow because I didn't want it powered-down, but I did do everything to get it though....just didn't pick it up. I was almost at Hades before I saved and stopped for the night. I'll update tomorrow on what happens with the Claws of Hades.
I hope the glitch doesn't prevent me from getting the gold titan playthrough trophy.

So, i finished the game and here are my thoughts :
- technically beyond anything i've seen up to now (note that this is my first boxed ps3 game) : titan levels are crazy, mlsa is godly, fluidity is constant, sound is brilliant.
- loved most of the boss battles but some were a bit underwhelming. Those who finished the game know what i'm talking about.
- Did not like the recycling of some of the environements where you pass through several times.
- Loved the combat, especially for someone like me who can't pour hours to master it.
- Hated the pesky creatures with claws underground.
- Loved the 2D/3D scenes (intro and a few others)
- OK but not stellar story for me who havn't played yet GOWI and GOWII
All in All : A. Must Buy for any ps3 owner. Not quite there in my standards with MGS1 in my heart but there with Virtua fighter or scudrace for a game that screams perfect technical execution.
Now, i'm gonna buy either Heavy Rain or Motorstorm pacific rift. I think heavy rain, it will be faster to complete.

So I've stayed out of this thread for the most part since I'm still slowly working my way through the GoW Collection, but my friend finally started it up and keeps complaining about constant glitches. Kratos disappearing in the Poisdeon fight and falling through the floor and stuff. Is this a common thing?

Does the new game+ glitch work once you've updated to the current patch level? I tried it, but it didn't work. Maybe I did something wrong?

Did a new patch come out today?
If not, then yes the glitch should work with whatever patch came out last week (or whenever). I did the glitch on Sunday and it worked fine.

You might as well power up everything to get the trophy for doing so. But yeah, all you really need to power up is the Cestus and the Blades of Exile
So, after finishing The God of War Collection, I'm moving on to the main attraction. Quick question about the DIFFICULTY settings before I get started:
I completed the original on normal, which was surprisingly loads of fun. The 2 advantages that it had was being completely stress free and the freedom to chain the longest combos together at any given time. Admittedly, there was never a challenge, but it was fun.
For the 2nd, I bumped the difficulty up to hard. Turned out the way I expected. Had to exercise some restraint, work defensively, zero in on certain weaknesses... well you know how it goes. 85% great and 15% frustrating is the way I would break it down. The one thing, besides some frustrating bits, that I didn't like is that the harder difficulty cuts down on your arsenal of combos for obvious reasons.
Going into God of War 3, how does the "hard" difficulty compare to the 2nd games? Also, how is the length? 2nd game took me just about 18 hours to complete(according to the save file at least) which was surprisingly long. Which would you recommend, normal or hard?

Probably DLC...CozMick said:Just got back from banville,
Just wanted to post my opinion on this game.
Best fucking game ever! seriously!
Now where's my DLC SSM?
TTG said:
Titan is certainly do-able, but it was too much trial-n-error for me. I recommend God (Normal) difficulty. Game length should be no more than 12hrs....I'd say about 10hrs actually.
But this is GAF, so I'm sure you'll hear that Titan was easy and that they only died a few times.

Really? That fight is crazy easy..even on titan:
You want the max upgraded cestus equipped at all times. Simply scoot around to the legs and go crazy, when he does the animation to slam his tail onto the ground, just jump up and air dash away towards the screen. Run back, repeat. Punch him in the face, quicktime. Now do the exact same thing from the first stage, but remember to run before he begins his breath attack. Kill the littel scorps for health. The only part you might actually die on is the avoiding falling ice spikes part, other than that there's no attack he has that should hit you.
Titan in GOW3 was ridiculously easy and I actually beat it faster than my easy run. Titan in GOW1, however, still gives me nightmares..

Game director has said that the epilogue at the end was cut from the game and that might come as DLC. I think in the Destructoid interview he says that, it involved a battle with a titan and Zues, like 1vs1vs1 is the way I understood it.
Decided to stick to normal, this is the third god of war game in a row so I'm trying to keep the frustration to a minimum. :lol
What I figure I'll do instead though is dump all the red orbs into the other weapons and use them exclusively. The first one(
) is fucking awesome, huge step up from the previous 2 games. Plus, upgrading the blades for the third time to get the same combos would suck.

Does anyone else have this glitch?
At the very start of the game after you kill the first set of enemies the cut-scene for Gaia blowing away the fire doesnt always register leaving you stuck.
Its happened about 5 times now and its so annoying! It took me ages just to start my Titan run through since I had to watch the opening so many times!

I can confirm this is true. Claws of Hades and Helios' head stayed powered up for me last night. I'll try to finish this game soon so I can confirm the Titan gold trophy (or not) using the glitch.
You know, it's a shame you have to glitch to get a NewGame+ mode. I think I'm enjoying this playthrough more than my 1st playthrough.

I had about 3 or 4 glitches while playing, two times i had to restart the game because the game couldn't tell that all enemies were defeated so it wouldn't clear the room, and another time when an enemy got stuck behind something while underground so i was searching all over before struggling to unbug it.
GoWIII is easily the best game in the series. Best graphics, best combat and easily the best and most memorable bosses. EVERY single boss fight was epic (except the last (3rd) battle with Zeus, which sucked, hard).
The fact there are nearly no puzzles in the game is also nice. GoWI and GoWII are games that I found incredibly boring on my second playthrough (via the remastered PS3 edition). It just didn't have the same impact on me as I originally played the game. I felt I had to force myself to complete some sections of GoW and GoW II. There is no way I'll ever replay those games again. They're great games when you play them once, but doing all the puzzles again is so boring.
GoWIII on the other hand feels great every time I play it. I agree the game lacks environmental variety and but personally I think that is the only downside of this game. Everything else has been improved. The scale, the set pieces, the music (especially when you are fighting Hercules. That was the most epic fight in any video game I played!), the combat and of course, the amazing graphics, were all top notch. I loved the motion blur. Makes it the best looking console game I've played.
GoWIII > GoWII > GoW
After seeing Clash Of The Titans I honestly crave more God Of War. I really hope they make another game.
But seriously, WTF at the lack of costumes. I want a mode where I can play with all my weapons, magic and health upgrades now I've platinumed the game. No New Game+ really does suck. And eurgh @ unskippable cutscenes. Who the hell thought this was a good idea?

There is also a new game plus glitch. To make it work, you have to complete the challenge of Olympus though, I think.

Has anyone else had problems with GOW3 skin codes not working ? What did you do to get it working or how do you obtain a working code ?
I tried to give an Apollo code away yesterday, but when he enters it, its coming up saying invalid . The code should work as it was only sent to me .

Beat the game for the first time and I have to say it's a really well done game.
I have some gripes here and there, but overall the experience was epic and rewarding. The game shines best I think when something truly over-the-top is happening (such as the Cronos fight), and sags a bit when you're exploring more earthly environments (like the caves).
Scope was freaking amazing, graphics were often a 9 and sometimes a 10. Not quite at UC2's consistency.
Music was good.
The rescue sequences were intense. I loved those. Flying sequences were fun but I bumped my head far more than I should have. I mean I may be slow but I'm not that slow; cut me some slack here.
I think the greatest challenge the developers faced this time around is that they were unable to disguise the PS3's limitations in the way that they broke through the PS2's. With God of War 1 and 2, you were constantly asking yourself "How is something on that scale possible? I know this console is 5-7 years old." But this time all those amazing feats of technology were possible and on display, which made the more ordinary parts of the game look all the more ordinary.
The Max Payne bit at the end was a nice touch, but I would have preferred a few more sequences that established this game's identity. I kept saying "Wow that was amazing, reminded me of..." throughout the game.
Maybe the original God of War change game development so much that it was difficult for Sony Santa Monica to challenge themselves this time around.
Whatever the case, God of War 3 is a memorable end to a landmark series in gaming history, and stands like a titan above other entries in the combo action genre this generation.

Near the end. The game seems inconsistent visually. While the Titan and Hades portions are sights to behold, everything between seems below that par. The camera is often so far away, the game simply feels like a higher resolution GoW2. The game's apex seemed to be its opening sequences, and it kind of steadily drops from that point.
While the game has some of the most impressive visual moments I've ever seen, I still have to go with Uncharted 2 as the most impressive looking game this generation. It's more consistent and holds up better under scrutiny.

I'm playing on a G10 Panny - definitely not the TV.
Actually, I often find some of the textures to be the biggest offenders. Sometimes they're razor sharp, but often times in gameplay sequences, certain texture resolutions ain't so hot.
I mean, this is all petty nitpicking. It's generally one of the most amazing looking games ever.
But sits just below Uncharted 2 (IMO). Nothing wrong with that.
