I thought I would really struggle with Hard mode, but I'm actually doing pretty well. I think it's only offered to switch to Easy mode 2 or 3 times so far. :lolYYZ said:
I think the other weapons in the game are more useful than in I and II and I think you need to try different weapons/strategies than just spamming [] and ^.

It is staggeringly beautiful with some of the most epic music and scenarios I have ever seen
in a game. The combat feels more fluid than ever before and my god the opening the OPENING!
I didn't think I would be that blown away by a intro since UC2 but my goodness what a way to start the game.
Some off-screens I took of Level 2

Only at myself for sucking at this game. I'm getting better though. Can't wait to play it some more tonight.

Unless you're a trophy whore, Normal really is the perfect difficulty for the game. Hard mode has some frustrations that really ought to be reserved for Very Hard difficulty, and Easy Mode turns it into too much of a breeze to be at all fun and will seriously dull the impact of the game.

I've upgraded the blades to max and seem to be doing fine. I do use square, square, triangle A LOT. I also love the triple triangle move, but it's slow so you have to be smart about it. I'll upgrade the hooks next because I haven't given them a chance and I've read that it has some great moves.CrayzeeCarl said:
Does everyone know how to roll cancel? Maybe that would make some fights easier too.
My only real gripe with the game is that the puzzles aren't as good as they were in God of War II (but still better than God of War I). The massively improved combat helps offset that though so I suspect that the team wanted a more combat focused game this time around. Still having a blast with it.

Yeah, my wife was making fun of it. However, the downloadable content included is nice.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Guess I'm progressing faster than expected: I just defeated
Hermes
Kinda sad that Hermes and Helios didn't put up a fight much, at least Hades and Poseidon did
Ok, so my strategy for the
on Titan (hard). He was probably the hardest of all the bosses IMO, the second being
.
Anyway...
Fire Cerebus
Zeus' final form
Anyway...
Form 1 (Cerebus + firehounds) - It's easy... you should be able to get by w/o getting hit. I used a triangle x 2 into a HOLD square combo frequently, and rolled back/air dashed when he used the air fireball attack, and parried when he moved around and swiped at me. Just hit him with whatever strong combos you have that aren't too time consuming, so you have time to get out of the way. Kick the hounds at him if they bother you. DON'T use magic. Use the chains. Be patient here.
Form 2 (Cerebus + 1 Satyr) - Jump and do some good triangle combos in air, get some quick hits on the Cerebus... when the Satyr gets near, use magic to hit the cerebus and him (which juggles him and pushes him away), and get in some quick combos, and repeat. It's really easy to out-manuever the Satyr, just dash to the opposite side of the cerebus and he'll sometimes hang back. If the cerebus leaves you alone for a few seconds, you can grab the Satyr and beat on him, but the damn hounds sometime interrupt it. The use of the phallanx magic and a few cheap hits should take him out as you beat on the cerebus. Save at least 2 more shots of magic for form 3.
Form 3 (Cerebus + 2 Satyrs) - Same thing, get a strong combo in right away then unleash the magic when the Satyrs close in (jumping in close and doing it in the air helps), another strong combo, magic again, and a few more hits should give you the final QTE prompt. If you're out of magic, do the triangle air combos when they get in too close, with or w/o L1. Be aggressive here.
Form 2 (Cerebus + 1 Satyr) - Jump and do some good triangle combos in air, get some quick hits on the Cerebus... when the Satyr gets near, use magic to hit the cerebus and him (which juggles him and pushes him away), and get in some quick combos, and repeat.

Totally just popping in to say this game is blowing my frickin' mind. That is all. (Just got done with most of the stuff that was reworked from the demo...)
Oh yeah, and Titan is pretty damn tough!

That's the last thing I did before I saved and called it a night. I could have easily stayed up till 4am, as I had no clue I played for well over 3 hours straight. :lol
I only got a chance to play for about an hour last night, and I wasn't feeling well at the time. Since I think feeling like crap made it harder to enjoy the intro, I plan on re-playing the opening scene when I get home today before reloading my save and kicking some Hades ass.
The intro was really cool, but having a throbbing migraine lessened the impact for me. Has that ever happened to anyone else?

In my experience, that's an accurate description of the previous GOW games too.badcrumble said:
Weren't they though? I couldn't stand the bastards. It's a shame the grapple ability didn't show up until the third game in the series.Violater said:

That is what I'm doing. I'll go back to FFXIII on Saturday.
This skin voucher website is annoying the crap out of me. I entered my Phantom of Chaos code the other day and my connection to the server was lost when I submit it. I couldn't get back onto the site until today and now it won't let me redeem my code. Why didn't they just make it a PSN code?
Got past the second boss last night (2nd boss name here ->
before saving. Game doesn't really do anything differently from previous entries which is fine. The presentation and everything though...man. Good shit. My g/f was watching me play it (she likes Kratos and his voice :lol ) and she kept saying "oh my god", or "that is nasty" at the sheer brutality of Kratos.
A couple times when playing I'd look over at her after finishing off an enemy in a brutal fashion and she had that look like..tha fuck did I just watch:lol. Can't wait to get to the part from the E3 demo where the head gets ripped off:lol

Yeah, I had the same problem a lot initially; it comes from wanting to press the X button one time more than you need to. Tab X to jump once, and then hold it.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
Anyone else have the sound drop out completely after pausing the game? It's happened to me twice now.

Got my Ultimate Trilogy "rip-off" Edition. The Pandora Box is small, the extras (postcards, OSTs..) are meh and the game included is the regular edition WTF.
Great game anyway

Ive had the same problem too. Also this game got glitchy at the end for me! When I died when battling Zeus the loading screen got white instead of the usual black, and on two ocassions there were yellow dots all over the screen. That and having cut scenes with hiccups and songs skiping! WTF?!LiquidMetal14 said:

Yeah. I'm stuck there too.
Fuck satyrs
Have yet to finish it, but here are some thoughts after about 8 hrs in on Titan mode.
The
is probably the most epic fight EVAR. OMFG. The music, the action, the chaos. Amazing. Felt ZOE2-ish almost.
Few complains:
- Glitchy double jump at times
- Some odd health chests placement (available when you DON'T need them, unavailable when you DO need them)
- Some frustrating "do it all over again" moments
- Jitter (gives me headache)
That said, it's amazing. The combat system has been improved tremendously thanks to the added moves and items, and the DOF/Motion Blur are godly. The godrays are indeed godly as well. Looks PS4 stuff at times.
