Dangard Ace Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 I saw it. That sucked! They could have done better. Update: Isle-of-rhodes-site-unlock-gow-2-hd-mode-new-countdown http://kotaku.com/gaming/top/isle-of-rhode...down-251824.php Quote
promethuem5 Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Just beat GOW, and MAN were the final battles tough, but fricken awesome fun! The Kratos clones were rediculous, and the final fight with Ares was crazy... The Challange of the Gods levels are kinda annoying... time trial kills do nothing for me... I was really hoping for some kind of escalating last man standing mode with just waves of enemies to fight for as long as you last... that would be a total blast. A Boss Rush mode also would have been nice... Quote
Fort Max Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 You have to play TotG a little more because that is what you get, mad challenges like kill all the enemies without getting hit even once and there's lots of them. Quote
kung flu Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Got GOW 2 last friday and completed it yesterday, I think the first one is more of a challenge, the 2nd one the puzzles are much easier to my relief. I had a lot of difficulty in the first one with the time trials and swimming sections, glad GOW 2 didn't have as many. Also whenever the game mentions the three sisters of fate i always think of Five Star Stories Quote
Fort Max Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 I just picked it up yesterday and started playing last night, got as far as the temple of Lakehis before I finally managed to turn it off and score some sleep... The opening sequence far and away owns the first games and I like te climbing on the ceiling/grapple moves too. At times though it does feel like you're just pushing whatever button the game tells you to push, that won;t stop me playing all the way through though. Quote
Thai Boxer 9901 Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 (edited) Yeah my cousin gave me god of war a few weeks ago and im hooked on it but there is one complaint that I do have with it... AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO CANT CLIMB THE ROTATING CYLINDER OF DEATH??? Thats where im stuck currently. I just got done with doing the balancing act on all of the rotating poles with blades on them and I got to the part where you have to climb the vertical rotating cylinder to get out of hades (apparently) and for the life of me, I cant beat it. Every time I try it, I either get to the 2nd or 3rd section but I am soon knocked off and then I cant get back onto it. So can someone help me out with this cuz I really want to get through this game but I cant till I get past this. Edited May 3, 2007 by Thai Boxer 9901 Quote
bandit29 Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 I was stuck on that. There are two of them btw. Just watch the patterns of the blades. If you time it right you can go right up the cylinders without stopping. You can still get up them if you have to stop though. I would have done it faster if weren't for that damn beer lol Quote
kung flu Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO CANT CLIMB THE ROTATING CYLINDER OF DEATH??? Those took me ages to get past , what i done was wait for a long gap then jump through them pressing up and the X button, then move slowly avoiding the spikes to wait for a gap in the next cylinder, not sure if its any help to you though. Quote
Fort Max Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 The cylinders can only be beaten by perseverance, I almost gave up and left GOW unfinished but the game is so frighteningly addictive that I just had to keep trying. Quote
bandit29 Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 (edited) Anyone esle sign up for the God of War UMD PSP demo? Why they couldn't just wait until a download is ready? oh well http://youtube.com/watch?v=sJrTVg-TG_M http://www.us.playstation.com/godofwar_chainsofolympus/ Edited May 4, 2007 by dejr8bud Quote
David Hingtgen Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 Yup, the spinning cylinders of spiky-slicy death are rage-inducingly cheap/random. Just try 500 times or so, you'll do it. Note that there are TWO to get through, so once you beat one--you have to do another. And you can't save in between. You can continue from the second one, but if you turn it off you have to do the first one again--so have plenty of time alotted. Quote

Just waiting for the UMD to show up now. As for the Cylinders of Death....didn't find it that hard. Like people say it's all about timing. Quote
wolfx Posted May 4, 2007 Author Posted May 4, 2007 I don't remember the cylinders of death thing. It was so long ago. Probably got past it quite easily. XD Quote
promethuem5 Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 Those stupid bladed columns were really frustrating, and one of the two bits that I remember distinctly challenging me to not finish the game (the other being the super fast moving wall in the challenge of Posieden that you have to hide in the gap to avoid...) There are two of those columns, and the second one unfortunately makes the first one look like a cake-walk, but if you give yourself alot of time to sit there and retry, you'll get it, but it does take patience... after a few tries, get up and take a breather or you'll get controller-throwingly angry. However, the endgame is so utterly mindblowingly epic that it makes up for those puzzles in quite good fashion. You really do owe it to yourself to finish the game at least once because it really is one of the best endgames I've ever seen. Quote
bandit29 Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 Some more God of War for the PSP info and an interviews with the developers http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?pager.of...amp;cId=3159438 Quote
promethuem5 Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Picked up GOW2 today, and it's fantastic... Quote
godfather Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 For those of ye who love this game and love to build (resin) model figures, there's a kit of Kratos coming out. Here's what I know -- A registered seller of the Clubhouse (a figure modeling forum) will be producing a 1/6 scale figure of the "Ghost of Sparta." They need at least 15 people interested for production to start, and there's already 7 (last I heard) on the waiting list. Here's the description of the figure: Sculpted by Daniel Santos 1/6 scale. It stands about 14" tall on base so your talking about a $135 per kit. Here are pics of the prototype: Piccys! If you're interested, contact the vendor on the Clubhouse forums (Jayco35, http://www.resinrealities.net) or or via email, if you don't have access to that forum, at these addresses: resinrealities AT netzero.net, jaycotoys AT netzero.net Quote
promethuem5 Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 The idea of a big Kratos model is awesome, but I think the pose and face sculpt on that one are a bit off... it looks pretty good, but not must-buy great for some reason. Quote
kung flu Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 there are god of war action figures out already, if anyone is crap at building resin models, also i think there is a 13 inch figure coming out soon is well with electronic speech. Quote
Fort Max Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Yep, here it is, http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/334...e/Product.html# Quote
promethuem5 Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 13" with speech!? I'm so in.... I've got the Kratos figure with the flaming Blades of Athena figure, and it's a gorgeous piece, but not greatly built... the flaming parts are flimsy and don't stay on very well, and the figure has terrible soft ankles and hands that don't support well... but it LOOKS great! Esp. alongside Master Chief and Solid Snake... and with the same company coming out with Castlevania figures soon, my fav. video game franchises will all have figures (GoW, MGS, and Castl.) Quote
wolfx Posted March 29, 2008 Author Posted March 29, 2008 So i just finished GoW : Chains of Olympus for the PSP. Pretty much more of the same stuff so its all good. Just abit short and abit easy to max out all your abilities. But i'm confused of the story....wth just happened? So like yeah...Apollo fell from the sky and was captured by Atlas which then led to Morpheus taking over the world...so Kratos must save the day. Kratos got the sun steeds to travel towards Apollo to save him but the steeds failed as it got nearer to Morpheus thus again our hero is cast into the underworld. All is fine and he must continue his quest....except....he hears the flute of his daughter and decides to go chase after her instead of continuing his quest.....then eventually he meets her daughter, finds out Persephone was behind all this....and kills her and chains Atlas to the world....but wtf? What happened to Morpheus and Apollo? Or am I missing something? Quote
Metal_Massacre_79 Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Just abit short and abit easy to max out all your abilities. I know what you mean. After I was full on life and magic, I think I found around 6 more chests that would normally contain eyes and feathers . God mode is a little bit harder and the Challenges of Hades are damn near impossible. It is still a fun game though, and I'm playing it through for the third time already (currently in the Jails of Tartarsauce playing as Mr. Potatohead on god mode). Quote
Garou Kuroryuu Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I only know that I'm so pissed off at the guys from SCEA for not releasing CoO for, at least, PS2 ¬¬ Gimme my GoW!!!! (either for PS2 or 3, I don't care, I won't buy a PSP) Quote
promethuem5 Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 It's super worth having a PSP for... it's short, but it's really fun and well done the whole way thru. Quote
mikeszekely Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 I only know that I'm so pissed off at the guys from SCEA for not releasing CoO for, at least, PS2 ¬¬ Gimme my GoW!!!! (either for PS2 or 3, I don't care, I won't buy a PSP) Ready at Dawn said they won't bring it to PS2, but EGM reported a rumor that it will eventually. Hey, Ratchet and Clank made the jump... Quote
