Stop trying to bait and troll for angry replies.

You're not really a fan of the series, and will try the 2nd before you decide whether or not you'll buy it. We get it already.

Uhhh, I was replying to someone who was talking to me. Someone else that saw the stupidity of the whole 'argument'.

And yes.... I ust be a troll, you saw right through my sneaky impartiality. :lol
 
2 more days

I had the demo disc (which was given away with preorders) for the last three weeks, but misplaced it shortly after getting it and found it a couple of hours ago. I finally tore the plastic wrap off of it and stuck the disc into my PlayStation 2 (not my PS3).

What a great demo! I'm still awestruck at the impressive graphics that the PS2 is able to produce...it's a real sight to behold. Also, the "road to E3" video on the disc provides an interesting glimpse into the game design process.

I'll probably play this one through on the PS2, as the implmentation of controller vibration works very well with this game (just as it did with the first). The combination of vibration feedback and the audible clanging of Kratos' blades gives a solid feeling to the controls that must be experienced first-hand to be fully appreciated.
 
I just beat "God of War" on God Mode (5 minutes ago), now I'm 100% ready for the sequel (I have to watch the extras, but that's easy).

March 13th can't come soon enough.

Best Buy & Circuit City won't have the game until Wednesday. Will anyone have the game on tuesday? :(

I NEED THIS GAME

tuesday is usually the "ship" date, so it arrives at stores later in the week depending on where it is.

Yes. Let's just forget this whole 4th page thing ever happened. Great spot, I'd love to see it in better quality. btw ntsc cover >> pal cover

Whats the NTSC cover look like?
 
You'll all be happy to know that I've instead traded in three old GBA games and gotten GoW2 for free. The best rental ever just became the best trade-in deal ever. :)

What's the chances of this being 720p upscaled with the new firmware?

I think the more relevant question is: what's the chances of the new firmware making this game incompatible on our launch PS3s?

Very slim, but I'm tempted to wait until 23rd and see what happens.

You replied to someone who wasn't even quoting you, repeating almost the same thing you already said. Not saying you are one, but I've noticed trolls love to do that kind of thing when they feel they didn't get noticed at first.
 
CONFESSIONAL:

I bought the first God of War on day one, played it to the very end within about a week. Never finished it. Why? I don't know. I recall having a little bit of trouble with the
multi-Kratos
fight, and put the game down.

Just today, I decided to watch the game's ending on YouTube to get closure before I play the sequel.

Am I a terrible person?

:D

I'll be LTTP for GoW II though, April 20th...*cries*

Nice. I love how you can do a huge combo in the battle with the
clones
. I must have done a 600+ hit combo. It felt so good. :lol

That was one of the best part of the games, how could you!!! The trick was to chain the simple combos over and over to hold them all off.

I tried! Lord, how I tried! I'm not as good of a gamer as some of you guys obviously are, but I gave it my best. :(

I tried to finish the first GoW, but the game kept freezing on the next to last sequence of the final battle. A few friends of mine told me there was a glitch in some copies of the game and that I should have been able to pass it. I tried for over fifteen times, with no success, and traded it in long ago. hopefully, GoW II is glitch free, so I can finish the game this time.

Hey, I know it was lame. But I sold the game along with a huge lot of other PS2 games. I don't play these things everyday like most of you folks. But at least I made it right to the end, and didn't cop out sooner.
 
What I'm really hoping is that the combat is more challenging. The majority of GoW enemies could be beaten with just the square, square, triangle combo.

It ships tomorrow, the 13th. That means it will be in stores on the 14th, Wednesday.

EBgames/GameStop will have it tomorrow. I called my local EB where I preordered to confirm the date and the clerk mentioned it'll be on sale the 13th so assume they already have the copies in back.

Did anyone pick up the Limited Edition Strategy Guide?

My strategy was to
Save the "Rage of the gods" for the fight. Activate it and immediately spawn the Hades devils, then you all go nuts (High damage combos or combos that can knock off a group of enemies off the island) for about 10 seconds or so. When rage mode dries up, call Hades again and repeat. What I do after depends on my situation. I'll either save up Poseidon's rage for later in the melee, or use it quickly if my health is low. It helps if those abilities are at max level.
You should have no problems after that. It took me a few tries to get the strategy down.

Semantics aside, I meant it in a different context. I.E, why isn't everyone super excited about this? It's going to totally kick ass and take names.
