QTE indicators correspond with the button layout of the controller? Most likely you have a gigantic screen...
I'm not very far in the game, but I just have to say..
Gaia sounds a lot like the crazy cat lady from The Simpsons..

I thought Bare Hands was an interesting challenge. Here's my tip:
You can push the enemies over the ledge including the statues and the cyclops. Just keep ramming people into them they're pushed over. Never enter a QTE sequence since it takes too long to kill people.
Stoned was a bit annoying, but this is how I did it:
Keep parrying the stone gaze and purposely fail the QTE to have it freeze you instantly. If an enemy gets too close, then hit the QTE to freeze people and roll again.
Like I said earlier, overall these challenges were easy.
Game went from 10 to 9.5 - 9.0 to 8.5 real fast on the strength of some of the worse trial and error jumping and flying sequences ever put in a game. How they could make platforming suck so bad and the vent section go on forever is beyond me. It had nothing to do with skill just luck getting through. Total absolute failure on those parts which take away from AAA everything else.

That was the hardest part for me aswell, let Pandora tank a few of em and try to stick at the other side of the room with a mob or two and kill them one by one. Also kill the wraiths and banshees first is what I did.

Im going to come out and say it. Im no longer l33t or relative in today's gaming market. Im not in the demographic, and I don't have the time I used to for games. That said Im still in love with games, not the artistic fringe games that most GAFers seem to like flower etc... I like action FPS, Strategy and RPG games things I grew up with...
However over the years I have seen my time and skills as a gamer diminish and the games tending to increase in difficulty as well. So much that most games I play on normal now. Screw Hardcore, screw GOD mode I mean I understand there place but I just can't do it..
I bought God of War and played it love the game so far, I just beat Hades but I had to go to easy mode. I hear you laughing and ok your better than me.. Im backlogged so damn much I have about 12 games deep Iv'e not opened or played and I the limited time I have now I can not spend dying over and over again. (it also tends to piss me off to the point of tossing the remote) Something I never want to repeat... I wan't to enjoy my games, but why can't games just have an adaptive mode!??
If I died 5 time it should say ok hes having a hard time getting this, easy it up some, if I die 5 more time easy it up more and than start stepping up the AI again and repeat..
My question is will i still receive trophies for beating levels on easy? I Mean I understand I will not get Platinum's and who actually cares, but that's another thread. Can I still get credit for playing on easy from now on?

Flight sections? Thought those were the most enjoyable mini-games. Jump sections? When..?

Just got the slurpee and it says the codes on the bottom of the cup, but it's blank. Do I have to rip the cup apart or something? :lol

No joke at all. Probably because I only redid it three or four times (when you jump down from Olympus to Hades). Getting smacked into debris is most likely going to kill you anyway as you die instantly or in two hits. ALso the swoosh sound when you head just slightly misses a chunk. Love it.
The only part where you have to jump extensively is I recall the section after killing
Hercules
Tom Penny said:
I had ZERO problem doing that section. All you had to do was not get hit by anything and there wouldn't be any dust in our face. There is a reason you can make a short little dash move with the right stick while doing that.
As for harpy jumping, it's only annoyed me once and that was only for a couple minutes.

About one of the notes in the game.
The one that mentions a brother that became a God while he was left to suffer in Hades or something. Do you think it's Kratos' brother from Sparta?

Major LTTP here but a few things:
1. The method to redeem the codes is fucking stupid. Why do I have to enter a code on their website only to get another code to download the skin? the fuck?
2. You're only allowed to enter one code wtf? I happen to have an Amazon and Gamestop codes and yet when I try to enter the second code it says I already vouched a code and thats it. Thats fucking cheap.
3. I bought the Ultimate Edition only to find out the Soundtrack was digital. Of course, I should've been suspicious of that $99 price tag...
Overall this is a despicable move by Sony (or their Santa Monica studios). The game itself I have no problem with(its awesome), but the goodies that it comes with are just pathetic in what barbaric methods you have to go through.
/rant over.

This game is really really good. I just finished the
, and I love almost every minute of it so far.
Almost every minute means that I hate how the double jump seems broken at times, and the flying vent section from the demo was mehhh. I didn't like how they also inverted the dodge. That got me killed like 5 times. Other than that though, it's been fun. Better than GOW1, and more epic than GOW2. I don't think it pulls past Bayonetta for me in terms of pure fun factor, but it's up there for top 3 of the year so far.

Are you entering them at the PSN store? Only the Gamestop code is meant for the website since it was given out a long time ago.

When I did that, I started hitting everything because my brain is STUCK on inverted control for flying. I wanted to leave the flying inverted, but have the right stick quick dodge normal. I don't think you can do that.

Both the GS and Amazon codes require me to go to the website(they specifically state).
I entered the Amazon code and it "worked". I tried entering the GS code and it says I already entered a code with this PSN account. I tried clearing the cookies and tried logging in again and entering the code, but it still gives me the same error
Extra code ftl

I bought the game last night, and it's definately the best looking game this gen IMO. The sharpness and detail of Kratos cannot be surpassed.
P.S. That boy/girl humming in Hade's level. Am I the only person who thought of the movie Sleepy Hallow with Depp?

i am getting ass whooped in this game on freakin normal. My skills are deterioting as i age. Is there a way to get back to easy on this game?
My first romp through the game was on Normal (God), so I started a new game on Hard (Titan) last night.
Wow what a difference. Strategy is required for the bosses (for Poseidon anyway) and I've actually gotten killed by regular enemies twice. Really fun so far. I could only imagine the backlash if they used this difficulty for Normal. Still easier than something like DMC, imo, but really fun and strategic.
Dudes like me who played through on Normal the first time really should check out Hard.

It took me at least 3-4 tries in the demo, but when I got to the vent section in the full game, I got through the first time. IMO it's not broken or cheap or anything.
I did have some issues with double jumping. Don't know why, but some really simple jumps in the underworld killed me, some of them multiple times in a row.
I think I have the hang of it though. I've gotten a lot better at combat since day one.

There was one vent in particular which pissed me off like this. I think it was the descent into Hades. It seemed like it wasn't just that you could go the wrong way, but if if you did, you'd get hit over and over again with little chance of escape.Tom Penny said:

Something this game badly needs is 'lock on target' button. When you are surrounded by swarms of enemies and getting a huge beat down, the last thing you need is kratos attacking a distant enemy while the closest one is hammering away at your back
