Just in case people didn't see, that horrible evil corporation GameStop is adding in God of War saga to any order of Ascension, so you get 6 god of war games for $60.

I wish I would have known this before purchasing the game. :|
I played only Chains of Olympus & GOW 1 before this. Am trying to get hold of Origins Collection & GOW 3 right now.
Back during BF sales, someone told me saga was on sale for $10 somewhere. Bummer I keep missing out though. Shit that Saga is also partially voucher too.

It was a great adventure. Pretty than a motherfucker.
First game since WOW days have I bought a game around release.
However being stingy fuck that I am, I'd always advise to wait for the price drops.
It was mentioned well beforehand that it was going to be shorter than previous titles. But seems about the same.
Played through it on normal, about to finish on hard. Titan is way too much for me though.
Really biggest complaint with bugs were... Sometimes throwing enemies into (THROUGH) walls or a ring out didn't yield orbs.

Apparently there is a stage called Trials of Archimedes that is referred to as unfair. The game just goes from hard to downright punishing. Very few life orbs and such and wave after wave of enemies.

Trials was tough as nails, but got through it. Took about 45min worth of retries on hard. I hear they released an update fix to bring down the difficulty a notch. Souls of Hades for more green orbs helped ease things along. That's most difficult part of the game, easy from there on out.

All during beta requests for co-op was in abundance. Now that there is a co-op, it's fairly disappointing. Hopefully they'll take suggestions & feedback into consideration & rectify that.
Vs is still a blast though. I need to sit down figure out best class/build. Zeus was OP as fuck in beta.
I hope the dlc will bring some co-op campaigns like was requested.

They really should have released MP as stand-alone. So used to playing games on pc that I'd rather just have MP game installed to drive so never have to disc swap.
They are only milking the franchise at this point, so it does kind of make sense to take it in different direction. They did great job on the fighting system, but could use plenty more refinement.

This game is pretty fun thus far. I'm only about an hour in but definitely looking forward to the next 6 or so this game has to offer.

what part was trials of archimedes? i died probably 3-4 times the entire game so i definitely didn't find anything extremely hard or anything. i did play on normal though.

Trial of Archimedes was the part towards the end where you use the eyes to make the pedestal move. It would go up a level, you'd fight, go up another level, fight again, and then one more time. No saves in between so if you died you basically started over. Not a big deal but definitely harder than other sections just because of the lack of a save in between.

Fun game, finally finished last night. Time for some Bioshock.

interesting. i only played on normal so maybe that isn't why it was that tough, but i didn't die at that part so i didn't know how the checkpoint system was there.

I got bored of this game and gave up on it and moved on to Bioshock and Tomb Raider.

the amount of glitches in this game are simply unacceptable. I'm in the ice caverns and half my body is stuck on the traveling snake, making it impossible for me to run and jump the gap in time...I died 50 times in a row before I stopped wasting my time on this turd.

You can't even tell where I am because most of the body is glitched into the snake...any move to the left and I fall through and die...any move to the right, well, kind of the same after a few seconds.

Great job on trying to make every god damn scene so cinematic that the game is essentially ruined on a glitch that you can't get past...Well done.

hah damn that sucks. i didn't hit one glitch when going through the game, not sure if i got lucky or if you are just unlucky.

and man, the wires dangling from your tv make me sad 🙁

Just got this game. I like it so far, but the camera angles make it a little tough at time to see what the hell I am doing. Also, I hit one glitch while climbing...no biggie I just restarted from last check point and it was fine.

Props to the scene with all the big tittied bitchesssss!

Yeah the camera in these games can cause frustration to the max. Also some scenes with qte platforming fail when it doesn't show you exactly where to go and you end up falling down a crumbling ledge. I had to use trial and error

I'm still enjoying the game... but After about 5-6 hours of play, I have died no less than 25 times. Whether it's just from scores of enemies all gang raping me at once, or the parts where there are lots of jumping around from cliffs, grapple hook, etc...

It is kind of annoying to me, because on normal I feel like I shouldn't die THIS many times. I am the type of gamer where I play the game for the experience and the story...Not so much of a super hard challenge with the fighting, etc. I enjoy a good puzzle, but having to fight a hoard of enemies then dying on the last guy, then having to restart AND DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, is incredibily annoying.

you sure you are on normal? i beat it on normal and died like at most 5 times the whole play through.

Kind of sad maybe, but not surprising. Was reported to have disappointing sales.

Honestly, they should just push out the multiplayer as a stand alone. MP alone is worth playing, but not at the full price.

Should been submitted to their feedback forums so they could look into fixing it.

can't say that im surprised since this game really offers no replay value and is 8 hours single player. it's the perfect candidate to be rented. i purchased god of war 3 at launch, played it 3 nights in a row, and never put it in my ps3 again. so i knew i wasn't going to buy this one but was rather going to rent it.

i also find that article amusing in the fact that they initially say it is because we're waiting for next gen, even though the new gears and god of war games are the 4th (6th for god of war if you count psp ones) and the forumulas have not changed a bit since the first iteration. no, the staleness of the series couldn't have ANYTHING to do with it.

This is an ok game but a pretty low quality God of War game IMO. I think they built it around the MP.

 

[z1ggy]

Getting pissed at this game. I CAN NOT get passed trial of Archimedes or whatever. I get past the first stage then I die on the next one, which it doesn't have a save point so I have to start all over.

Is there a way I can take my difficulty level down to easy, or just skip this part? Otherwise I am about to sell this game.

I just finished it a couple days ago and this is probably a fair assessment. The return to 60 fps is nice, but that's the only really notable about it. Feels like they mailed it in.
