Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
I brought my PS3 into the office because I wanted to play this during the day... Now I feel compelled to bring the PS3 home and back to work again tomorrow. The fact that I just got UC2 doesn't help. Go PS3 GO!

I like many Final Fantasy games! just not FFVIII or FFXIII, and much of FFX!
Things you can be sure I'll always hate: Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Animal Crossing, Heavy Rain, Banjo Nuts and Bolts
Anyway, I always liked the God of War series. Shit defined crazy over the top adventure, even if mechanically it was lacking in places. But God of War III fixes many of the problems I've always had with the games battle system, while simultaneously upping the EPIC meter to fucking absurd heights.
God of War III is so EPIC that they're going to sue EPIC GAMES for use of the name.
Anyway, I just had to play a bit but I won't return until I finish my God of War Collection playthrough. SO PAINFUL

Just got to the save point after acquiring the bow. It's really great so far. The whole beginning section
The combat definitely seems like a step up, even though I only have the blades and the bow. Can't wait to see what rest of them are.
with Kratos on Gaia's back while she and the rest of the titans were scaling Mount Olympus was a great way to open the game. I really dug the QTE section with Poseidon.

I work in multimedia/television for the Federal Government. I work alone my office has locks on the doors. I'm blessed. I'm playing this between a Christie HD projector...and an 8" Sony production monitor in 480i. TBH, outside of the size disparity...the game looks stellar on both displays.

I just passed the demo area, and while I was really impressed by the first hour, the level design afterward
Realm of Hades and the portal to where Helios was attacking the fire Titan
the Realm of Hades was the River Styx
Hades as a boss fight underwhelmed me, as there wasn't really a unique "catch" to beating him like there usually was with most GoW boss fights of the past

I've gotta agree that this game is fucking beyond epic. What a way to start a game, I mean really. I'm also very glad that I don't have to go through the trouble of upgrading the Blades from the get-go like usual. Can't wait to see what's in store; especially this Hades level I'm hearing so much about! However, I won't get back to the game for a little bit since I'm currently engrossed in other games.
It's incredibly pleasing to hear the chains of the Blades make their noise as you swing them; I don't know what it is about that sound but it's just so refreshing to hear!

Yeah, at least the design of it. I didn't feel like I was doing anything new compared to the past 2 games, but in fact I found the puzzle/level design of God of War 2 leagues better than Realm of Hades. But yeah, like I said, apparently it gets much more interesting and better, so I'll hold judgment until after I'm done.
The one part that caused my mouth to gape for a moment in Hades was
When you swim in the River Styx through Hades' gut at the end....omg
I think the use of
portals from part of the level to another part of the level
So far Titan Mode is REALLY HARD.
lmfao

Unless you can also do it in the Arena after beating the game (I haven't tried), yeah, that's apparently the only other place. Seems kinda difficult, so didn't bother trying too many times.
Don't force your PS3 to display the game in any particular resolution. Besides a very, very few exceptions, check off the resolutions supported by your TV, and let the game choose.mattfabs said:

In my opinion:
it was fun, but there's nothing original or any real "catch" to the battle like most GoW battles, sadly. It's pretty gory toward the end, too. All in all, though, it's interesting and fun to watch as you destroy Hades, he destroys his domain, but there's nothing really "new" in this battle. It's almost like fighting a giant sub-class enemy :<

I FINALLY beat
on Titan/hard. Took me like 25 tries and there's 3 parts. The first is definitely the hardest. The visuals that follow
The scope of the the entire realm when it comes into view is amazing. They took care of up close detail and staggering scale with no real faults. It's been pretty raw so far.
Hades
as you swim and look around are really good for just plain swimming.
I thought it would be interesting to try this on a shitty SDTV. Got this plugged into an old 19" SDTV via composite. The image quality is like...okay, aside from the bar rolling through the picture...unimaginable. You can hardly resolve any detail but there are no jaggies on anything, the motion blur looks incredible. It is a CG game.
and now back to a non shitty television.

So bummed out. Just checked my tracking and UPS apparently attempted delivery, but I didn't hear a thing. Even left them a note to give me a minute to get to the door if I didn't answer immediately. They didn't even leave an infonotice. Gah.
In the mean time, if anyone's got an unused Forgotten Warrior skin code from Game Crazy, I have an extra Morpheus armor skin code from 7-11.

First of all this game has the most amazing graphics you have ever seen.
I can't believe it's on TV ..I can't believe it's on consoles... (Ok this was for Elpresador
)...seriously it's freaking Epic.
Scale,
lightening,
motion blur
gameplay
just everything about it.
the pacing
Even the score is the most epic score I have ever heard.
I mean actually I'm still quite shocked how they could put out something like this in 2010. I would have thought of this in 2011.
It is a fucking hollywood oscar movie I mean I couldn't talk while I was playing it was just freaking amazing
.
Big up for Sony Santa Monica it they delivered ...they just hit me right in the middle of my face with this tramendous improvement over GoW II. It is just such a huge step it just feels so smooth it plays like eating Ben & Jerry's Half Baked...seriously it is like kirby flying away
I couldn't think of anything like this. Everyone out there who is thinking about buying this game: go out and buy it just don't think about it buy it...it isn't comparable to anything it seriously is second to none.
And for me it's a 10 out of 10 in every single department.
I mean:
Design? 10
Graphics? 10
Presentation???? Fucking 10 out of 10 ...seriously second to none
Sound? 10 (seriously I've got fucking amazed by how pushed i've become while listening to that music)
Replayability? 10 i could play this every time of the day on every single difficulty...it is my most rewarding experience EVER
Yes that's right I was hyped I am hyped and I will stay hyped for that MASTERPIECE that Sony has brought to the table

Brother is texting me how incredible the first hour is, fuck him!!!
I know, I loved hearing Glory of Sparta during the demo. If they bring back Duel with Ares and Typhon Mountain, I'd be in musical heaven.chubigans said:I love it when they use some old GOWII music tracks...those tracks were so epic it was a shame to only use them in one game.
