Beaten Titan mode, will start Chaos mode in a day.
Tonight I finished my second run through the game on Titan in just under 9 hours. I was only missing Unhuman & Priceless in this run for the Platinum.
First playthrough on God (Normal) was around 10 hours and the Challenge of Olympus was less than an hour.
Absolutely fantastic job and congrats to SCEA Santa Monica. Good work guys, I can't wait to see other ideas & IPs come from your studio. Having just re-played through GoW I & II it's a very impressive body of work and playtime over the years.

I just finished the game. Going to start on the Collection later today. I got the Ultimate Trilogy Edition so I'll probably try the Challenges of Exile later on.
The game was an amazing experience, but I had this nagging feeling while playing through some sections. Probably had to do with the pacing. For me the
was an absolute low point in the game. I didn't feel the design AT ALL.
The game definitely peaks early with
, it just didn't live up to those encounters after that until the ending (although
is probably the most intense encounter in the GOW-games :lol) .
Great game and an amazing technical achievement. GOW1 will still be my favourite in terms of pacing and story. I might sound a bit bitter because I really wanted this to be my favourite GOW-game, but sadly it is not. Still a must-have for every action loving PS3 owner

All these big boxes and a giant scorpion, it didn't click with me.

After you
I really didn't want to have to ask, but I can't go on until I know the answer!
shoot Helios out of the sky and then cross the chasm using Harpies, you fight a few enemies and are then left with two doors to open, one of which just contains one of those bombs you blow up using the bow. Is there any purpose to the bomb? Are you supposed to use it to find a secret, or is it just to use on enemies?

IMPORTANT TIP: Double-jump may fail if you start your jump at the edge of a platform. An SM representative confirmed that this implementation is indeed different from GOW1/2, so you will need to slightly modify your platforming tendencies. Give yourself a little bit of space between yourself and the edge when you start your jump, your wings should still offer plenty of gliding distance to get you to wherever you're going.
Well, I finally finished the game on hard mode. I'm not convinced this was the best God of War game. Sure, many of its departments were better than the rest (graphics, scale, combat, etc), but many could be given to the other games (most notably story). It's pretty good for what it is though.
Now off to the bonus videos, and maybe some challenges!
But WTF, the motherfucking scorpion was just cruel. Died at least 35 times trying to kill him, shit like that just was not fun. I didn't have too much trouble with the boss Cerberus like some people here, thank god.

I see a few people like me are experiencing freezing issues with this game.
Its unplayable for me. It could be anwhere from a few seconds to a few minutes before the game locks up. Music still runs in the background while the video locks.
Dosn't seem to be related to the action on the screen, as it sometimes freezes during the loading screen. Completely random.
I have a slim ps3 thats about four months old. Its the only game that this happens to me on.
Is there any talk from Sony about addressing these issues ? Anybody else here having the same experience as me ?

I personally don't feel GoW 1 had that strong a story...story was pretty linear and more minimal than I expected. Very simple premise as well. To be honest I think spectacle is the series greatest asset. As such I prefer each game over the last.
Funnily enough I don't think I died a single time during the fights in GoW1, but about a million times due to the bloody cheap puzzles. Really disliked them....

Please tell me those Satyrs disappear when you beat the Molten Cerberus.
Shit is kicking my arse (Titan mode) I get them down to the last head and it's just pandemonium. Five kamikaze dogs chasing, three Satyrs flipping around, Cerberus clawing, as soon a I stop dodge attacking it's over.

Goodness me! The

Nothing comes close to this game, I'm only about 3 hours or so in too. Jees!
Kratos character model is just insane also. Him being covered in blood in a sight to see.

It should, but wouldn't you need to clear titan to open the chaos mode?

I downloaded the Ultimate edition goodies off PSN (the arena? and the extra costumes), can I not use these till I finish the game?
Also, where are the game trailers for GT5 etc? Are they only on the US disc?
And... there's a making of the whole GoW series or something in the US Ultimate Edition but not in the UK one, where can I watch this?

The only trophies I need are 1,000 combo will do on Chaos mode, Challenges will do after chaos mode, and plat. The labyrinth trophy without dying I did it on Titan mode easily.

I think I was a little fortuitous in this fight. I actually found the vent sequence before it far more annoying.
I came out of that painfully long frustrating vent sequence with full rage of the titans and magic. It only took me a couple of attempts but once I figured out a decent strategy it was quite easy. At this stage I had a fully upgraded cestus, blades of exile and maxed my magic.
I just focused upon attacking the cerberus with the cestus as fast as I could, employing area attacks as the dogs approached to the point where I tore off it's first head. Following that I commenced spamming the maxed out Spartan magic which clipped the satyrs a fair bit with all the arrows which brought me to head number two. Then a full bar of rage gave me head number three and it was just the two significantly weakened satyrs which were easily disposed of.

Of course the situation would actually have been quite the nightmare if I had no magic and rage. I'm certainly glad that wasn't the case as the prior vent sequence was exceedingly annoying.

There is no on the spot Gorgon flash in this game except when you kill a gorgon.
Can anyone answer if those satyrs disappear after beating the cerberus? Like a trigger point to end the battle, do they just blow up into orbs if you haven't killed them?
My best chance at this point is to build up rage for the last head and hope the satyrs don't break the attack.
