Really, it's more like "what mankind" as in... what mankind? Where are they? There are other humans here? We've seen maybe five since the first game, besides the tortured ones, who are immortalized by being part of legendary stories and don't count thematically. There aren't any "ordinary people" in the game, so how does this lead to the ultimate culmination of the series? It doesn't make any sense.
Well if that's the case then there aren't any puzzles in God of War III either. But part of my point is that it's neither strictly combat nor puzzle/whatever you want to call it.MrPliskin said:

If he uses your account and starts a new game, he could accidentally save over your save files. To be safe, make a PSN account for him on your PS3.

When you save, it defaults to creating a new save file, so he would have to explicitly choose an existing save and confirm to overwrite it. Still not a bad idea, though. You may not even have to actually create a PSN account. It may be as simple as adding a system user.ShinAmano said:Not a bad idea...I will be there the whole time though so I may or may not do this.
Other than that I just don't want him passing me in the game
Ok so I'm stuck. I'm sure I'm missing something completely obvious but any help would be appreciated.
wtf
I'm right after the part where you make the mammary exposed woman hold the gate wheel, you get through and enter a part where you spin these mechanisms to create bridges. I get to the last one where the lever is broke on the mechanism and can't figure out what to do. The camera points me in the direction of another area I can't get to via the wings, or trigger something with the bow. When you first try using the mechanism it shows a statue like you're supposed to do something with it, but the camera focuses on a different area across the way. I keep dying trying different things.

Finally finished. Definitely the best last boss battle of the series. Unfortunately I was 5000 souls light of completely upgrading everything and I missed a horn and eye. I will replay the game on normal now to allow myself to take in more of the sights and get some trophies.
While I can't say it is the best ending of a video game, I do think it is a good way to close things out.
With the exception of a few frustrating parts the game was fantastic, though I do feel it was a bit light on the combat compared to the other entries in the series. With that said, I doubt I will be able to look at GOW and GOW 2 the same as many of the advancements to the combat system in GOW 3 seem so necessary.

You can't fix the broken lever yet...Go back to the previous bridge piece and turn it again, this time towards the building, not the other bridge.

Just a heads up the trade in 2 select games get God of War III or FFXIII for 19.99 at GS didn't work for me. I traded in 2 games on the list but still owed 38 bucks. The employee told me he guesses it means it's only valid for pre-orders even though the offer is valid until April and the fine print says nothing about that. It's most likely the trade-in values subject to change without notice clause, so beware.

I'm about 5 hours into the game and the story is complete crap.
Just wanted to come in here to day that.

Finnished (Titan mode) and....best game I've played this gen. I am completely awestruck of how awesome the combat and visuals were. I can only hope that other developers can keep up with this and bring me more games of this caliber. I thirst for more. My take on the game:
+ Through MLAA technology, a seamless lightning engine, motion blur and 30-60 fps, the image quality of God of War exceeds the best of the best console games currently available
+ As natural as Helios emits a blinding white of sunlight, Kratos radiates anger and determination with every breath he takes. The character model is the most impressive ever conceived
+ Art direction should not only be aesthically pleasing. The titans themselves are used as gigantic and dynamic set pieces. They move and even fight and it all looks amazing and seamless
+ Rich in Greek mythological creatures, earthly heroes and Olympic deities, God of War demonstrates creature and character design of epic creativity and resonance
++ The soundtrack is as good as the visuals, which is of no surprise. The music is simply exceptional
+ The rattling of the chains of Exile, the stabbing sound of blade into flesh, the booming sound of the Cestus are what makes this game especially visceral and awesome
+ The VA is very well done with talents like Malcom Mcdowell, Rip Torn and Kevin Sorbo. Kratos voiced by Terrence Carson is as angry and entertaining as ever
++ Only the few great developers (Nintendo, Blizzard) understand that gameplay resonates through animation independent control and Sony have their own in Santa Monica's GoW series
+ The weapons in GoW3 are the best in the series, especially the Nemean Cestus rivals the Blades of Exile themselves. The way you switch weapons is the greatest improvement over past God of Wars
+ The bossfights are among the best in the series and they are awesome, visceral, brutal, challenging and entertaining. GoW 3 might have the best set of bossfights
+ What have previously been imbalanced, a tad frustrating or shallow in the past, enemy AI has been polished to annihilate these hard edges and Santa Monica has done a great job
+ The QTE has been improved aswell with the positioning of the buttons, in sync with the controller. Your eyes dont need to stray from the awesome bloodsoaked butchering
+ The metagaming: puzzles, platforming, flights, climbing, mini-games, QTE finishes are balanced in a sense that these are all part of the game as much as the combat is
+ The head of Helios, the boots of Hermes and the returning bow of Apollo are, like the weapons, wonderful and usable items. The new Item bar makes spamming impossible
- Double jumping has as previous God of Wars a narrow window of succes. Combined with some obscure camera and the dynamic angles, it makes for unnecessary deaths
-
is awesome and a creatively implemented bossfight. I just can't help to think it could have been more amazing and be a potential highlight of the entire game
- The story is compared to GoW2 timid. The epic scale of adventure and exploration of GoW2 has been toned down, although GoW3 does reach greater heights in some parts
Utilising great art design and state of the art technology, mold it into something so grand, so absurd in epicness, Santa Monica's first entry in this generation needs to be experienced : 9/10

How is the number of bosses in GoW 3? More than GoW 1, less than GoW 2, something inbetween?

Oh well, as long as there's more than GoW 1 I shouldn't complain too much.

Just took that Kratos poster to the framing shop to get it framed. $109! Damn. Paid it though. Hope it has some liquidity if I don't want it anymore.

FUCKKKING SHIT
For some reason, my blades keep switching mid combat and I'm not doing anything to press them. What the hell. I'm mid air doing a L1+O combo and then it switches to the

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
That's strange. 3 days ago I traded in inFamous and LBP and got FFXIII for $20.99. Sounds like you got shafted.GillianSeed79 said:

Are you sure you're not pressing L1+X by accident? Because that does switch weapons.

I really hope that's not a spoiler. If it is, thanks a lot.... (I have only played up to the 3rd boss, not counting Helios [guy from demo].)
