AAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that last room in the
, when does it fucking end! I have just wasted an hour on it (hard). Help please!
Don't just tell me to waste the enemies with the cestus and be careful and take my time, that's what i am already doing.
I hate those sirens bitches more than anything. I don't think I have been happier in the videogame than when i manage to corner one of them with the cestus. Fuck this game is pouring sadism right into my soul.
And that was just after the bullshit
fight. Those little fuckers can kill you in a second by overrunning you when you're staggered. so annoying.
This game is not good for my blood pressure, nor for my relations with my neighbors.

The Sirens are pretty easy if you use Hermes boots to kick them in the air. Then jump and keep pressing circle. I used it in Chaos mode, with great succes
I finished Chaos mode recently and then started a new game on easy. Man, what a difference. I could play it with my eyes closed
Played a bit from Hades to giant crates of doom. The biggest change I noticed to the previous games was that the enemies have like 3x times the health. I don't know if this is good...
And I wholly understand the "samey" complaints. This feels exactly the same as the previous games. But I don't complain about it. Love the franchise.

Oops, I didn't read the slip properly the first time. I have to register this code on godofwar.comblindrocket said:
Got my Platinum on this game last weekend. I'm done with the game and will be trading it in once my bro finishes it. WEll, I might keep the game if some DLC is announced soon.
Other than the Cronos and Zeus fights, I think the last 1/3 of the game is kind of a drag...at least as far as level design goes. More like God of Caves 3. I guess I just really didn't like The Caverns or Labryinth level design.
IMO, the Poseidon fight was the best boss fight, at least visually.

This has probably been asked before but am I missing anything major if I skip GoW2 and go straight to this? Will it catch me up on the story? I played the first one but don't really feel like playing 2 and 3 back to back. Plus GoW3 is on the way right now from gamefly...
Strategy tipps:
There is actually a very easy way to fight the cerbus, zeus and the the rooms with many enemies. There is one attack which could be called game breaker because it is almost and blockable and that is the grab attack [L1+O] for the blades and that green weapon you get last. All you need to do is grab the enemies all the time until the circle arrives. I killed Zeus on Titan that way and it was damn easy.

You can pull those blade dudes out of the ground and then combo em to death. I didn't know that the first time I played through that section. It was pretty rough for me on normal difficulty, I can just imagine how tough that'll be on titan.Oni Jazar said:
Speaking of which, that's one of two trophies left for me to get, beating the game on titan and completing the challenges. I think I'll work on the challenges first, then try to get through the game on titan.

Yea, that's where I am. Did you get past it? I was at my third minotaur wave and died. And I was playing at my best, so I am not sure what I can do. I hate that you have to charge the stupid helios power to see them bitches.
I got the game on Sunday and beated it yesterday. I love the game. Some of the best sets I've ever seen in a game. Of course the gameplay is solid as expected. Though I do have to say, I felt the game hit a high point about halfway during the
fight and never reached it again. I was especially disappointed with the last fight with
. Fighting all of the other main gods felt grand and epic. But the last fight just felt rushed and kinda fell flat. Though I love some of the more artsy stuff.

I sailed through
Labyrinth, Skorpion and Hades. But hit a dead end at Cerberus+ goat friends(Chaos mode). Haven't touched the game in a week.

Normal is alright, but even as someone who hasn't played tons of God of War I found it a bit easy at times, especially as your weapons get souped up. There are a few rough patches, but in general I was surprised how much I was able to coast though. If you have experience with the series I'd be inclined to recommend Titan, although you should be warned that the first segment might feel like hitting a brick wall until you get your bearings.rc213 said:

And it still amazes me that this game manages to run with a higher-than-average framerate. While people might find Uncharted 2's art direction and style to be more cohesive and "eye-popping" (blame GoW3's cavern areas for that), the underlying tech of this game is probably much more solid.

Fuck the
I just got into it and got to the first room with spikes and the ass load waves of enemies(Titan mode). I know the best thing for me is to lure them bastards into the spikes, the dodge out of there.
Sorry, just venting.

I already beaten this game 4 times and I feel the need to replay this again.
Finally had the time to earn my platinum trophy and unlocked the battle arena.
Man, that battle arena is insane! I was battling two chimera, two centaur generals, two cyclopes, three elite minotaurs as well as two hades cerberus breeders spewing hellhounds! :lol
I must say this engine is very powerful already, I'm not easily blown away, but that's just amazing, having so many very high quality creatures on screen at once and being able to perform magic like summoning creatures like the cyclops, all this combat at full speed!

Ok, I took a break on this game to catch up on my back log. I am having freezing troubles, I have tried loading different saves etc. But I always freeze at one of three points. I've googled, and noticed it's fairly common but I haven't been able to remedy it. Ive tried the basics, delete game data, tried not updating and playing offline etc. Any ideas? Would hate to start over. About 4 hours in.
Completely agree. I want motion blur in all my games now to be honest. It made GOW3 feel 60FPS.BeeDog said:And it still amazes me that this game manages to run with a higher-than-average framerate.

I cant stand the cavern areas. It was so plain and boring looking. I wish they just took those out. Plus the 'Garden' areas where a bit underwhelming. Saw some of the artwork/ concept art for that, and scratched my head why it wasnt in the actual game.

Yeah I got past it. Now I've been stuck at the part just after the
Labryinth, after falling back to the Judges and fighting the Cerberus and two Satyrs. I can chop off the first two heads but the last one is brutal with all the little doggies and whirling dervishes.
I am so far away from my ps3! It has been like 6 months since i have started to travel so there is no chance for me to play GoW3 soon.
So i decided to watch the cutscenes today on youtube.
SHIT! Its fucking EPIC! I love the violence and brutality of Kratos even tho its quite extreme it suits the story very well!
Some of the characters looked weird tho like Hera, she looked very ugly tho its youtube its probably much better and detailed on real thing.

Hello, I'm sorry if this is the wrong thread for this but I wasn't sure where else to try.
My brother was playing GOWIII tonight but has encountered a big problem. During a cutscene, the image froze, but the sounds could still be heard for a little bit, then the game appeared to freeze entirely. He tried to quit the game, but the system did not seem to reset itself correctly. He manually turned the system off and on again (the disc was still inside) and when the PS main menu appeared, the game was not visible in the HUD. He had to remove the game, turn the system off and on once again and then try to put the game back in for it to play. The disc started to be read but then an error message appeared on screen and he was kicked out to the main menu. He then tried to test the God of War 1&2 collection, it loaded through the Santa Monica logo and such, but the main menu never appeared and he was again kicked back out to the PS hub. The hub icons also had some problems loading up too. He got the newest patch last night (3.30) too.
I'm guessing this is probably a hardware issue and not a software one. That kind of sucks because he was pretty close to the end of the game I think. GOWIII had crashed several times before during his playthrough as well, it seems to be a very buggy game.
Anyone else experience any problems similar to this at all?

The game is built to go up to 60FPS though. It fluctuates between 40/50/60, but the motion blur they have is really amazing and the most convincing and artifact free I've seen in a game yet.-viper- said:
I still think UC2 did this better in general - it was a bit more raw in GoW3 in comparison, but they did pretty amazing job with it in the opening part of the game.jett said:

whoever came up witht that
flying[/spoil] level in the labyrinth should get shot in the kneecaps (not really ;P). Goddamn what a useless trial and error level.
must say that from
the game is a bit less fun than it was.
Just throwing more of the same enemies and a couple that just take more hits than a hooker with an itch.
hopefully it will pick up soon. i'm now still in the Labyrinth and stopped the game yesterday because of it felt like a chore
will finish this game though.

I actually finished it in the meantime - playing on Titan as well. The Scorpio remains the hardest part for me, I oddly had nearly no trouble with the cerberus. Used gorgon (hades claw) on the fucking bitches satyrs, and I just pummeled the dog into oblivion (with fully upgraded cestus). It was not _easy_, but I always got done with two heads in a few trials, and eventually got the third one as well.
Zeus was a bit of an asshole, especially in the street fighter mode
