instead of a smacking sound when you hit enemies you get a fairy swishing sound. and the combat is just all over the place, primitive and button mashery - its just some gimp dancing around with fancy lighting effects.
terrible. feels like a ps2 game. which it is, with a lick of paint.
no crunching hit sounds, no hit animation or anything, you just walk up to the edge and spaz about until the hit combo starts counting.
poor and cheap mechanics.
Have you forgotten your medication again? Surely the first 2 games in the series would have given you a good indication of whether you would like GOWIII or not.
Either that, or you're just rubbish at it.
I didn't button mash once, through the entire series. Button mashing is for cretins who can't be bothered to figure out how to play a game properly.
SVD are you sure you are playing GOW? While you are entitled to your opinion I really don't understand the crap about no hit animations etc. That just isn't true.
Yeah but theres no way you will get far by button mashing on Titan level difficulty. Completed it on saturday morning,and now playing through on Titan,you need to know every move your going to make and when to make it. for example fighting Hadies i find it best to stay round his legs unleashing 2 cyclone attacks at a time. By the end of that Hadies will either try to step on you so 1 nudge right stick roll,or he will use his claws which needs two rolls. Then back to the cyclone attacks and repeat till hes dazed. It took hours to defeat Hadies on Titan but was easy to sit through again and again,when it all looks so fcuking awsome!!

the baddy at the edge, you don't hit it. you just swing about in its face and pull off that tornado move, doesn't feel or look like you are hitting it.
and the normal baddies you 'hit' them and the sound effect is an airy whisp instead of a satisying thunk.
I guess you didn't get as far as actually fighting posiedon then. Becasue we you hit you could tell you'd given him a whack.
I'm not sure what the sound of a pair of incredibly sharp swords attatched to a mans arms with chains are supposed to sound like, but i'm guessing some kind of whooshing noise might be involved.
As the other guy above said were we even playing the same game. personally i thought it was fantastic. God of War 3 makes Ben hur look like kitchen sink drama about the troubles of a small mining community in west yorkshire....bigger than epic.
on saturday i got as far as where you fly down the tunnel after the labyrinth and have to fight that 3 headed dog and those 2 bloody goats, god those goats are a pain in the ass!!!! started to get wound up so i just turned it off, will be picking up there later on after ive been the dentist .... usually find if i leave something instead of going mad at it i can do it first or second attempt if i leave it alone for a while, any tips for that part anyone by the way???? having great fun on it all the same...

If you press L1 and circle, you can pull enemies towards you. This is especially useful for the gits that pop up from the ground, and the goats, just because they tend to block a lot. Once you've pulled them towards you, you usually get a decent opportunity to smack them up a bit.
With perseverance, you'll find that there is a move that works for pretty much every enemy.
I hate those bloody goats they've been the bain of my life in every God of War so far.
Thanks for the tip mark. I've benn just evading their attacks and countering near the end and hoping to pull of the grab move that lets you rip the staff out thier hands and impale em with it.
Finally the PS3 is getting some good games, cant wait for June when I pick up mine, just trying to work out where its gonna go under my TV, getting a bit cramped down there what with the PS2, 360, surround sound amp lol . . . . . .
Sony shocking everyone and bringing out a software mualtor for PS2 games would just round this year off even better, enough with this motin control ype already lol

Have you every swung those blades just standing still? They're really long. Also this is NOT a button masher. Good luck getting anywhere in the game just mashing buttons.
Especially on Titan mode, just beat it yesterday. I dont think there was a single part in the whole game where I was just mashing buttons. Every enemy requires a specific strategy.

This part had me stuck for a while, I used the green 'wolverine claws'. You have to avoid the little exploding dogs, try and lure them to explode on the other enemies. For the big dog I held L1 and box then kept hitting L1 and box, this makes you float above him while attacking and he cant hit you. Then for the 2 horned guys try to grab them whenever possible, this wears their health down a little quicker, and u grab them to finish them off anyway. You counter most of the attacks except for the one where he flips and launches you with his blade, just try and roll out of the way when you see him fly in the air.

It would be nice if sony did release an emulator but i doubt they will. they'd make more off of porting some of the bigger PS2 games with a HD make over like they did with God of War.
From the sounds of things you'd be better off trying to find a 60gb model then you can replace you ps2 with it. Its what i did.
Am I just really good at this game, or are you lot just bad? I haven't found anything hard yet, i'm almost at the end of the game and I've been owning everyone.

Either your doing it on normal mode,in which case your quiet behind as a few of us have already done that. If your doing it on titan and have no probs then maybe you really are the god of war,and need to step up to the hardest setting. Im back upto Helios now on titan.

The game is incredible.
How do you know your near the end of the game?? And switch to Titan if its so easy, unless of course your on easy. Normal is normal, you shouldn't have too much trouble with it.

wait til you get where I am, then u can say it's not difficult.... Like you say tho, great game
Hey, SVD, when you make a videogame that is on the scale of God Of War 3, come and tell us, so we can play it and judge it for ourselves. Until then, get off that high horse, remove your head from your anus and get a f**king life.

.... usually find if i leave something instead of going mad at it i can do it first or second attempt if i leave it alone for a while, any tips for that part anyone by the way???? having great fun on it all the same... 
. It was just as difficult as the Zues battle. Both are insane.
