Just beat it on Titan difficulty not too long ago. My biggest complaint is actually within the story. I just hate the fact the Kratos can kill immortal beings with his bare hands.

Yeah, but he still kills most of the important / powerful ones with the Blade of Olympus.

Also for the very last boss fight :
Zeus in the Gaia's heart room. It's incredibly easy, although this strategy may make the fight last a bit longer. Switch to the last weapon (forgot the name..the green chain thingy from Hephastus. Just spam L1+O. He can hardly get out of it and break your combo. Just make sure you always go for Gaia's heart when it glows to stop Zeus from getting his health back. Sometimes if he gets too many clones going, run away and wait for the very last slam drop the real Zeus does. You can't block it or parry it. You just have to be off the ground when it goes off. Then go right back into spamming L1+O. If you get completely surrounded and they keep breaking the L1+O chain, just throw down some magic which is a long lasting shock. That should take care of the clones. Then go back to L1+O spam. Rinse and repeat as necessary. ;) I hope that helps someone.

God-wise, he only kills Zeus with it. He just snaps the neck of Poseidon(who is one of the most powerful gods) and hera, rips off helios head, and hermes dies from losing his legs somehow.

:lol I'll replay it on hard now. I was going to start on Titan but I didn't want my first experience of the game marred with frustration. I had been playing GOW2 last week on hard mode and some parts pissed me the fuck off. :p
Click to expand...

:D I totally understand. There were some parts in GOW2 that I remember wanting to break the controller at.

I have to say though I feel like I have a lot more refined control over Kratos this time that even the most difficult parts aren't making me nearly as angry since it just exposes some in-efficiency that I am relying on when I die over and over again.

There's a very easy/cheap way of getting that trophy
after getting out of Hades and making your way to a Spartan door that requires you to kill hordes of enemies, equip the Hades hooks and do L1+O over and over again. The move is weak and won't kill them which means you can spam it over and over again till you reach 1000 hits. If your combo meter keeps getting interrupted, do this on easy.

or you can just
attack the remnants of the scorpion boss with the whip

Finally beat it!!! Damn that shit was tense. The very end left a bit to be desired though, kind of anti-climatic. But up until the final scenes everything was suitably epic.

Also, this game has the best Making-of content hands down. Is the big "Making of GoW 3" a compilation of all the smaller videos that unlock at the end, or is it its own separate video?? I watched the Poseidon video and that was like 20 minutes long, and they actually catered to the people that know what the hell they are talking about. I loved to see them talk about how they used the normal maps and everything. How many freaken hours of content is there? Its all in HD too, so amazing....

Well he is Zeus' son, used to be a god, opened pandora's box, and is always getting help from Athena's crazy ass. That stuff helps.

What's the point of the soul sucking move anyway? Total crap.

"The Making Of" is its own thing. I think there's like three hours of bonus material up in this bitch. It's crazy.

Fuck me. I can't beat Zeus (just normal difficulty). It seems like I fight the guy forever before getting worn down and finally dying. Any tips?

This is what I love about the god of war games. So much extra content. Although, I would have loved to see a lost levels section. Always loved seeing what had been cut.

I'm pissed that there's no Cod of War costume for this one. I was looking forward to a fish costume with physics.

They dropped the ball on costumes. No joke one at all, and the ones that even are available aren't very interesting--not to mention you can't fucking get all of them unless you preordered the game at like 4 different places and buy the ultimate waste of money.

The costumes should be up on psn maybe in a few months. I really hate Pre-order DLC. Mass Effect 2 was the same way.

The Apollo costume is quite good, I like it. Then again I never liked the cod of war or those silly costumes.

Finally finished my first GOW run ever on Titan. I always meant to play the other two, but never got around to it. After this one, I'm strongly considering picking up the collection.

This studio is the BAUCE!

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
It's been one helluva ride but I've loved every second of it!

Every time I fall into this pit while
holding Helios' head,
the game keeps freezing.

I'm trying to play GOW III but an episode of The Tester broke out instead.

The best DLC content would be an all-new Titan encounter. Gaia and Cronos were unforgettable high points of the game. I'd happily pay $10 for a chance to scale the body of another Titan, maybe the electric or fire one (what were their names?).

I have no idea how they'd shoehorn it into the narrative, but by the gods would that be amazing... Actually, now that I think of it, it'd be slick to play as one of the -other- gods against the Titans in a prequel episode. Hmm...

The cut "epilogue" they've been talking about seems to have something to do with another giant boss encounter. Not sure what, though.

It's not that I doubt you, but could you point me toward the interview or whatever where they state/allude to it involving a Tian(-esque) figure?

Just finished GoWII tonight and moved directly on to this. I can't believe the leap in visuals and presentation from only a three year gap and a move to new hardware. Insane.

I can't imagine what we'll be seeing from the PS3 by the end of it's life-cycle. This shit is unreal!

I fucking loved the making of videos (all of them). Freaking amazing stuff and I'm so glad they included it on all versions. Ya'll could make a tv show out of it and I'd watch every episode. Shit was entertaining and at times, awe-inspiring.

Nice. I was gonna do that but gave up and instead recorded myself playing on Easy with Fear Kratos. So much easier than playing on Titan! :lol

Agreed. I love making-of stuff and these are done well and not just a 5 minute bullshit making-of-video for box quote.

Exactly how long is "Making of" video?

Video player is such a shit. Only on screen controls are stop, pause and play. It's fucking terrible. If I quit, I'll be forced to restart from beginning.

Am I the only one that thought this is how you gained new souls for your special?

When I realized that wasn't the case I was so disappointed

I think the point is, souls you pull off the enemies go back at them hurting them and those nearby.

Finally finished the game. Zeus is one tough motherfucker. Definitely my game of the year so far.

I have to commend Sony and team Santa Monica on their job with this game. Like Uncharted, Gow 3 is really moving the games industry forward. The bar has been raised.
