Seriously, what the $!@#$% is up with the ten billion zombie crows?!
And thats not it! I have to fight them on moving conveyer belts while these goddamn archers are camping in the back!

ARRG! >:(
 
heh. That part and the rotating blade wall you must climb later are what people usually complain about, but I beat the game even on God Mode and had no issues with any parts. It was decently challenging at that difficulty, but it wasn't due to game design problems.

Anyway, if you're annoyed by that...heh. Well you'll have some more fun.

That's where I stopped on God Mode. :(

It was just a matter of not having enough health at that point and there being no way to go back and get health, either. I tried and tried and tried to get through the room, but something would always get me. I had barely enough life to live, let alone eat up several hits.
 
Its just a dressed up olympics game.

PRESS BUTTON NOW! ROTATE STICK FAST! FASTER! PRESS BUTTON!

God for War is a piece of overrated shit that honestly deserves no place with any of the good games out there.

Shinobi for example, is a much better ps2 action game.
 
God of War has some spectacular world design. Kinda meh other than that though. And the final boss sucked.

Yeah I can certainly see why it would give people problems. It's one of the more obvious bumps in the games challenges, where you can see people getting stuck. I died there on hard mode because I didn't think those harpies would keep coming for so long so I wasn't really doing my best to avoid the attacks. But then I had myself a sort of pattern the next time where I would run along to the little platforms and kill a few, then dash across and hop on the next and kill a few, etc... Of course, easier said than done.

But I've been trained on Devil May Cry 3 Dante Must Die modes, so other action games seem positively preschool by comparrison :P

I wouldn't go as far as calling it a piece of overrated shit, but it's definitely, imo, quite overrated. A 7.5 game in my eyes. The button mashing moves and tedious
Hades Area
took the fun out of it for me.

Gah, I seriously must have been lucky or something because I honestly went through that whole area without dying once on my first time through. I only fell with the wall of blades once. But everyone mentions this place as an issue, so I must be minority. I thought it was one of the easiest parts.

Yeah man you were lucky. This game caused me to discipline one of my controllers (explosion followed). And that blade part wasn't even the worst for me. I had issues with pushing that guy in the cage up the slant and getting attacked by 4 enemies constantly.
That was fun.

It was still a decent game, but it had some really irritating areas and a freakin lame last boss battle.
I wish the game would have had more of what the whole Titan area offered. That was cool.

I agree, but I didn't see what was so frustrating with Hades. I think it more has to do with the game being so easy (in terms of platforming/puzzles) that when they finally presented a platforming puzzle that was slightly hard it took most by surprise and it was difficult to adjust to it.
 
It was basically Final Fight in a Greek setting with some lame environmental puzzles. It was fun to mash through once just to look at the pretty graphics -- ala Final Fight back in '91 -- but it became trade-in fodder post-haste after that.

Finally somebody else who is with me! I was thinking I'm going crazy. People say the same thing about Jak 2 - that it's soooo hard - but that game was crazy easy.

Ah yes, I remember that. Yeah, that was a little annoying. They just kept coming at such a pace where I would inevitably end up hit a bit, and then the cage would sliiiiiiide back down. But I got the hang of it fairly quick, after I learned the flow.

QFT.

I had fun with the game, but seriously, it's vastly overrated. It shouldn't have gotten nearly the amount of awards it did.

Even with games we argue on overall quality, we can still agree on some things, good stuff Ami, good stuff. [reverse edit]

Yeah I know, so when can I expect the PM from the admins saying I need to take it down because it's not work safe for the 50th time :(

I'd love to tell you, but I need assurance I won't be "censored" like I have been all previous times before.

GAF's tying me down man, I can't express myself and it's painful, it's painful stuff man.

EDIT: HOLY SHIT at the God of War hate here. The vocal GAF crowd is very different from the non-vocal one it seems.

It might have been overrated but it's still vastly superior to all the other action games on the PS2.
 
umm what? Devil May Cry 3? Hello what? Shinobi?! HUUUUH?!?! I DONT GET WHAT YOURE SAYING!!!!!!!!!

Fuck you and your god of bore.

...make sure we don't upset Mr. Bob now...
 
Shinobi... lol.
DMC3 is good but it aint GoW. Any game that makes me choose whether I want to be able to block, parry, or dodge effectively and call it a "style" choice has something very wrong with it.

No, your new avatar has nothing offensive at all. No censorship Amir0x guarantee. LOL, I must have got PMed about your avatars like 10 times now :P

Yeah, I love God of War. There's no use defending it, because obviously those that don't like it have perfectly reasonable complaints. They just didn't effect me, because I viewed the game as a sort of rollercoaster ride filled with crazy holy shit moments. Which suited my expectations well. The battle system also was really simple and easy to get into, which didn't bother me.
 
God of War is like a popcorn movie -- you're just supposed to have fun in the environment doing cool moves and kicking ass, not really thinking too much about demanding button combos and such. It excels at what it's meant to do, and it's really not supposed to be an answer to a DMC type of game.

I'd love to you, but I don't know at the moment. A friend of mine showed me a video of it awhile back and I got the .gif from him today. (asked him to make me one)

But I will get back to you personally (via PM) on who she is the moment I know. And that's a promise.

PS: And I'm sure somebody from GAF will read this little off-topic convo. we're having and can recognize her regardless.
 
I'm not going to sit here and debate GoW against Shinobi and DMC3. That debate's been driven into the ground already. But you're absolutely deluding yourself if you think the game's a button masher or a cakewalk on the upper two difficulties.

I think you mean that God of War has been driven into the ground. ;b And the game's still easy on hard.
 
I hated it from the beginning. Its the game made for idiot wrasslin fans with BOObS AND BLOOD OMG BOOBZ YOU CAN TWIST STIXKS LOLZ BASH BUTTONS OMG OMG EXTREMMEME ELOOLZLZLLZLZLLZLZLZL

Well I liked it from the beginning. MY OPINION IZ BETTAR THAN YURZ, LLLLLLLLLLLLOLLZZZEZZ.

Shinobi was made for stupid realultimatepower fans. OMG NINJAS FLIP OUT AND KILL PEOPLE. STUPID INTERNET MEME AHOY!
 
I wouldn't say I hated it, but when I started thinking about what I really wanted to say, I realized I couldn't even remember the game. I just have this lingering sensation that it wasn't as good as everyone said it would be. I think I only made it half way through before I sold it and used the $$ to take my little lady out to dinner. Or I bought Indigo Prophecy. One or the other.

MAF only gets into trouble when he talks about recently deceased pro wrestlers.

He isn't much for subtlety, but he gets the job done.

P.S. - God of War stinks for most of the reasons already mentioned.

god dayum, I've been replaced. But even I still think MAF is going overboard. Did Kratos touch you in areas that make you nervous MAF?
 
God of War is a damn good game, best of the year IMO, but the difficulty on God Mode is about equal to Devil May Cry on normal.
