Kratos' brother is Jesus. God of War 4 has you fighting angels and demons...
Pandoras box get opened, all the evils are unleashed and even the gods are affected, kratos takes hope all for himself. Kratos kills himself and gives hope to mankind. Not that different from the original story of pandoras box.
I think if they said the gods were affected in the beginning of the game it wouldnt have sounded so matrixy.Cartman86 said:

You bring up something interesting I thought about while on the main quest.
Like really, God of War 1 and God of War 2 naturally brought you to every location in a very organic and seamless way. The use of portals in God of War 3 felt kind of lazy and senseless.
Dogenzaka said:
While I agree the first two were more organic, I don't think lazy is the right adjective to apply to any part of this game. I mean come on now, I understand you want it more seamless but you're ignoring the massive complexity of levels. There are tons of moving parts, I mean just think about the first time you saw the labyrinth. Did you have any clue that when you entered the caverns with those massive random blocks, that they were going to shift around over the course of the game to form the labyrinth? The complexity of that alone is more impressive than everything in GOW1 or 2. I agree with your assertions to an extent but lazy is far too harsh.

I didn't really care about it at first but afterward thinking about the Zeus fight. I was kind of hoping from more with the God of the Gods. I'm not dissapointed but there could have been more.
Filldough said:
Perhaps they weren't done in the intention of laziness, but they end up giving an impression of lazy transportation.
I'm not talking about the Labyrinth or its complexity. Nor am I even saying the developers were lazy in making this game.
But portals just come off as a lousy, un-efforted form of transportation.
"I can't think of how to get them back there, so let's warp them over there"
The Zeus fight was really hard for me, though.
But I still would have preferred a stage against a ginormous, badass lightning version of Zeus at some point instead of 3 man-sized stages, but eh. I'm okay with it.

Linda Hunt shouldve stayed as Gaias voice. When she screamed when the crabwaterhorse grabbed her I thought it was some fake ass porn star doing a moan. Also I never paid too much attention to the credits, Elijah wood? WTF?! FUCKING FRODO GOT TO MY GOD OF WAR GAME?!
Anyone else laugh their ass off when kratos told Daedalus his son was dead? man just the way he said it, no compassion and the frown on his face. And then remembering how you actually killed Icarus in the previous game. I kinda wish GoW did that MGS4 thing where you press a button in a cinematic to get a flash back.

I am a bit dissapointed that the third gorgon sister Stheno was not in the game.
She was also born in the caverns beneath Mount Olympus, so it would have made perfectly sense to encounter her.

Finished the game. Well, that was one hell of a ride.
I'm intrigued on where the franchise will go next... They should let the GOW series rest for a little while, so they came out with new ideas...
I also hoped the ending would have been less open ended.
And why the fuck did Athena goes evil in the end... It was so nice when you met her at the beggining...
I definetely can see an epilogue coming via PSN in the next months...
This happened to me too... Great Boss fight btw
Also, when going up the great chain for the last time, the game freezes if you climb the last segment quickly.
I was also expecting his cameo ... only to find a note from him...
P.D: Now, I can finally succumb to the hype for Lords Of Shadows...

I have a question if anyone could answer. If i use one of the godly possessions, i know i cannot get trophies but can you turn it off mid-game and get trophies? I am looking to get the fire bow and helios head ones.
Hera's death at least for me was the most shocking, Kratos just picked her up and snapped her neck, wow.

Awesome ending, the story of the third game is my favorite because you finally take out all the big gods and titans.
Kratos is an amazing original character like no other in gaming. They can't do his character justice on the big screen, hollywood will pussyfy him.
Having an alliance with Kratos means you only have to remember one thing, if you betray him in any way, he'll kill ya.
And the story is totally not japanese, it's a greek tragedy all the way.
In that universe there are no "heroes" as we know them. Humanity are but a pawn of the gods. Kratos is god in that he gives humanity free will and the ability to make our own destinies.
And if Kratos is still alive(which i hope he is) it would make sense for him being the god now. One that does not interfere with the mortals excistence.
Interesting about who Zeus meant as the other one.
I also think it's a gow psp prequel again. But i rather hope we'll get a spin-off on the ps3. It seems like a waste to not use this awesome engine again.
I would love a spin-off of the gods vs titans war where in the gods were victorious. Having to play as a young Zeus, Hades,Poseiden,ect would be awesome.
Bring on the dlc, me needs more Kratos killing.
She wasn't really evil, she just wanted to rule.

I didn't quite understand Kratos's motive for wanting to save Pandora.
Like, snapping Hera's neck over it, really?
Did I miss something?
Oh, and holy bageebus at the ending run through the dark. Wowza.

I can't answer your question but I just wanted to say that those trophies are easy. I wasn't aware of those trophies until I was almost finished with the game, I would have shot more fire arrows and blinded more enemies had I known. Anyway, I loaded a save and spammed fire arrows at enemies, then I did it again with Head of Helios. I got both trophies in just a few minutes.neojubei said:
I don't think these things have to be done on 100 individual enemies, I think it counts if you do them to same enemy more than once. I wasn't anywhere close to 100 individual enemies for "Its getting hot in here " and "Nice Tan" but I got them.

Got spoiled from the fucking PS Move GDC video live comment box, so the ending wasn't that surprising.
All around great game, but i think they should have rethought the Labyrinth. It was so damn boring. A cave with big boxes all together... not very pleasing to the eye. It just seemed uninspired compared to Pandora's Temple from GOW1 and The Sisters' trials of GOW2.

That whole scene will be remembered as one of the ballsiest decisions any developer made with their game this gen. It was an incredibly risky move, but it paid off handsomely IMO.
Another question, I have all but one godly possession, namely the zues's eagle, if I start a new game after beating the game will i get the trophy once i get it or do i have to play though the whole game again?
Although I did like the labyrinth you are right it does pale in comparison to the first two game's puzzle areas. That spiked phoenix room in gow2 still gives me chills.
I did like Hera's garden puzzle.

The "darkness" part at the end was really amazing visually. Completely different from the rest of the game, but quite possibly the most stunning.
I was under the impression that more costumes would unlock at the end? Pre-order ones?

Here are some things I don't get:
1. Why did Kratos needed Pandora box to kill Ares and not the other gods? (for what I know, he is not a God anymore in GOW3).
2. Why is Athena the only one that turned into a spirit?
3. WTF happen to the world and to her? I'm still puzzled by this, it just doesn't make much sense.
4. What happen to the overly bloody and gory Hades world?

I think Kratos still had the power from the box still in him.
She has some unfinished business?
I thought that each "God" was part of the balance of the world and destroying them caused the world to go into chaos
Probably still there with billions of souls wandering aimlessly.

- I guess because those gods weren't as powerful?
- She said that since she gave her life for Zeus she reached a higher plane of existence.
- Hooray for cliffhangers.
- You mean from the first GoW? He never really made it to Hell in GoW 1, i guess that was the "outer circle" (looking at you Dante).
I was secretly hoping that Ares would make an appearance. I mean he's the reason for Kratos rage to begin with. Ares coming out of left field at the very end would have made for an awesome ending IMO.

Oh, it's pretty obvious and you have to explicitly highlight yes or no on the screen.
The Helios "Challenge", don't want to call it a boss fight, was damn good. Havign Kratos use his hand to block the sunlight was genius. I actually died my first time because i didnt know what to do. I can see Dante's inferno 2 is going to ape some ideas from this game.

So I just got to the fire Cerberus. Do I have enough time and opportunity left to get the bow, Helios head and kick the dog trophies? Just realized about them last night.
Thought I could kick the dogs it throws out till I get it. Maybe

My interpretation of the ending.
The world is not completely destroyed. Yes in ruins, but Athena mentioned she had a message for mankind. And my take on that is that man is not completely gone, or gone forever. There were birds flying around (with the souls), not all life is lost.
The camera at the final ending focused more on the sky than the cliffs or the water below. The whole game, the camera would give little nods/hints of what to focus on without giving away exactly what to do in many of the puzzles. That felt like this again. SSM giving the idea that Kratos is in the clouds with the lightning strike and thunder. And if you notice, the sun seems to have returned, the clouds in focus of the camera are much brighter. And you can even see sun rays peircing through the clouds.
Him laying on a carving of a phoenix or angel was like symbolism. Literally giving hope to man. Dying, miraculously surviving with the thought of one day he may or may not return.
Kratos = the god we know now?
mental notes while playing..
-kratos technically created the world as it was at the end of the game by destroying the gods, like god
-i dont buy the whole kratos killing himself, then hinting him killing himself again in the water, whats the point of that?
-gaia never died originally maybe because she contained the tree of life, and possibly left it behind? (1:46, a tree standing, even after gaia evaporated)
-ok this one may be a stretch, but hear me out. opening credits, "before the age of twilight". from norse mythology, twilight could represent series of major events, including a great battle foretold to ultimately result in the death of a number of major figures, the occurrence of various natural disasters, and the subsequent submersion of the world in water. Afterward, the world resurfaces anew and fertile, the surviving gods meet, and the world is repopulated by two human survivors. all of the bolded happened by the end. twilight also means renewal of the divine powers.
*this would explain why not all the gods died, in greek mythology there are dozens of gods.
(wiki)The game was released on March 16. 3:16 is a famous verse from the Bible.John 3:16- "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
And about hera...
-(wiki)Many myths render Hera as jealous of his amorous conquests and a consistent enemy of Zeus' mistresses and their children by him. A drunk would be the perfect way to portray her

I don't see how it was ballsy. It was absolutely brilliant and was the perfect way to redeem Kratos. It just made too much sense and wasn't so far out of the scope of what one would expect from a god of war game to be ballsy
And my interpretation of the ending is that Kratos finally released mankind from all gods. Athena wanted to rule them doling out hope as she wished, but Kratos killing himself mode it so that all mankind can equally share and use hope to live out their lives. Kratos made it so man could stand on their own.

Because, to some, it's taboo to question anything about God of War 3, including its leaky plot.
Immature, but whatever helps you sleep at night, bub.
When you begin to move around bridges in an outside area after you get through a tricky garden, you will be very close to Aphrodite's chamber.
Yay numerology!
That has absolutely nothing to do with God of War 3.
I thought it was great, but how was it ballsy or risky? I didn't even really understand the significance of it...that he's exploring deep inside himself to find Hope?
Are people actually saying GoW2s puzzles were the best in the series? I'm so surprised by that, as I feel they were tacked on and felt needless most of the time. I'm going to have to replay GoW3 to make a fair comparison, but I feel GoW2 puzzles were no where near as good as GoW1.
Anyways.
This game is amazing. For the first time I actually felt proud for the guys who made this game. They had a lot to live up to, and i was skeptical about the game ever since the E3 showing, but they really have done a great job.
Combat was better, I actually used other weapons and had fun! Also felt I'm no where near mastering the combat, unlike in the previous gow games.
Voice acting was great overall, hardly any stomach-turning line deliveries. But this was easily TC carson's worse performance, sometimes just terrible.
Music was good. Alot of gow2's music were reused, but were better used in certain sequences in this game than in part 2. Alot of the new music was forgettable, except during poseidon's boss fight.
Overall feeling of the game is great, pacing was just as good because i hardly ever put te controller down, something I've been doing for a lot of video games in the past year.

So I was reading a post on gamefaqs and someone mentioned that in the end when youre in the darkness with all the voices in the back, one of them says something like 'brother get back on your feet, a spartan never lies on his back' or something like that.
Anyone hear this? I dont remember it from the previous games.

It's not her. She's the intro narrator but it's obviously not her. It's Susanne Blakeslee, the Oracle of Athens from the first game. I am pretty sure on this. I think Hunt decided not to (or they just didn't get her) to do all the screaming and shrieking as Gaia. It's just not her.MoxManiac said:

Currently Im at work now, but Ive been replaying this game and found some glitches that havent been mentiones here. Like for instance when you fight the chymera before shooting helios with the huge crossbow, and its the third form and you get to snap the horn and stick into his eye, the horn stays on, it doesnt snap. I think the tester of this game. Was it cyrus, amped or the sentimental fat guy or whoever the fuck it was didnt payed much attention finding bugs and just was drooling all over himself with hos pants filled with cum for playing the game! SHIT!
