Yeah, it looks great. Can't wait to play it some more tonight. This game is so the "Gears of War" for the PS3. It has the same strengths and weaknesses. I am surprised it is not getting the same rave reviews that Gears got. I am definitely having as much fun with this as i did with Gears last November.

I'm still trying to figure out IGN's review.
I am loving this game. I especially enjoy the humor. For me, the characters are ridiculous but somehow they avoid being cheesy. I think this is due to the superb voice acting. I actually think I like Nariko more than Kratos. Maybe its because I am attracted to Nariko.... I also enjoy lots of story and cutscenes in this game, so this fits me perfectly.
As for the combat system. It has alot of potential to be great, but I think it needs alot of tweaking.
1. Anyone else having trouble switching stances fast enough to block attacks. I see the orange, but it seems like there is a delay from the time I hit the button to when she actually switches. This delay is normally enough to get me hit. This was extremely frustrating in the first boss fight. As he uses both speed and power attacks. I tried to fight him the "real" way by blocking and countering. But I seem to have trouble switching stances fast enough. Anyone else experiencing this stance change delay? I ended up button mashing him and that destroyed him.
An example of the fighting system working was the Roach fight. Since he only attacks in power and unblockable stances, I found it satisfying to counter him at the right time and rip into him.
Edit. I also found I enjoyed the Kai fighting just as much as Narikos. Normally, I hate playing as side characters because they are not as fleshed out the main character. However, aftertouch is just that fun.

Just beat it!
What an amazing ending, and
was such a nice twist and was really satisfying to just go on a rampage. And
was so awesome :lol
I can't WAIT to see the next project Ninja Theory works on.
I just want to say it's brave of NT to do what they did after all the work they spent on
What an amazing ending, and
Nariko being the deity meant for the sword
Bohan's "death"

Comes soon...preordered from Amazon.co.uk So I'm waiting, patiently and Warhawking inbetween.
I just thought it would be one of the games we'd sticky, since it's been something GAF has waited years to come out, and the developers have been very open and generous in this community.
Is it really not a sticky just because it's not long enough? I guess POP, SOTC and ICO didn't have stickys then. I wasn't around then.
Plus isn't a sticky there for convenience, since people will talk about the said game everyday, for every hour? I would think this applies in the case of HS - it hasn't dropped off the first page, and as people buy the game, this is the thread to come to...
Not my call I guess...:lol
Oooh I sound like a bitter mary. Get me handbag out matron.
LOL.
Really enjoying this - have played it for about 6 hours solid and have just got to the final battle with
Beautiful art-direction, dialogue (mostly from Bohan, hehe) and of course animation and acting - particularly for Kai.

possessed Bohan. Can't figure out how to really cause some serious damage to him or to properly evade those ranged attacks he throws. Plus his damn 'wings' get in the way when I get close. Grr. I'll keep at it i guess, 3rd time's the charm hopefully!

You can repel his energy attacks the same way you reverse. Electricity(blue) attacks use speed stance. Flame(orange) attacks use strength stance. Once your fine with throwing those back at him things get considerably easier

I played for about two hours before I stopped to have dinner, but just realized the PS3 controller now shuts off if you leave it on, is that new?
and I still am piss poor with the sixaxis controls in the game, but I am trying to get better with them and not wimp out and switch to analog aftertouch.

this game was unbelievable, I really liked it. I beat it pretty quickly but there was so much good about it. Nariko is a really cool character, the combat system wasn't that bad either, it just didn't really go in depth, but that's alright. The cutscenes/story is what blew me away.
nariko being kai's mother was huge, I loved their relationship. Bohan was funny as hell, I felt so bad for his son a lot of the time , his son loved him but bohan hated him. The ending battle was pretty impressive really delivered IMO. I wish their were more enemies and maybe a jump button.

I DIDN'T GET THAT FIRST LITTLE TIDBIT FROM WHAT I PLAYED
That would make Nariko like 40.

That always bugged me, Xbox360 controllers always did that. I have to test it, but sure glad they fixed it if you're right.
