God of War - Page 2

Infernal Mass · May 5th, 2005, 01:23 AM

I don't think Sony Santa Monica was going for accuracy with this game, when it comes to the greek myths. It seemed like they took elements from greek mythology and did what they wanted with them. I thought the game did have a good plot, I mean not many games start out like God of War does. Also the exploration from place to place, as Kratos countinued his journey had a really good pace about it. From the shores of Athens to Pandoras temple..it felt like I was on a continuous ride, with no intermissions.

I don't have a problem if they decided to take some elements of Greek mythology and infuse it within a game in their own creative/unique way, but in a lot of ways, it just feels so...odd to be fighting against such legendary, boss-potential monsters, like the cyclops, as just regular everyday enemies. It's almost like if you were talking to Zeus as if he were just a regular mortal and not a God...it just feels that way...but this is only my opinion. I know a lot of people wouldn't mind this sort of thing, but I guess I just wanted to experience a really challenging fight with Medusa or something.

yea, i understand what your saying. I think part of it was Sony Santa Monica wanted to please a larger audience rather than just the greek mythology fans.

Did you play thru on Spartan mode? I tried it out on normal first, but switched up at around the middle of the first stage.

I'm currently still in the middle of my game, haven't finished it, but I'm on the normal mode (whichever that is, I forgot

). I'm not really looking forward to trying out the "Challenge of the Gods" because I heard how tough it is.

Infernal Mass · May 7th, 2005, 12:36 AM

Challenge 5(the bow one) and 10 were the toughest for me. They are worth finishing though, the cow costume is alot of fun to use.

Oof, I wish I didn't read this because I wanted it to be a surprise.

But oh well, at least I'm glad to know this cow costume is actually worth the effort to torture myself through the "Challenge."

Infernal Mass · May 8th, 2005, 02:34 AM

sorry meryl, i thought you might've heard about it already. Still though that's no excuse for spoiling the surprise.

Ah no! Don't worry about it! I mean, I do wish I didn't know, but I don't mind knowing. In the end, I am actually glad to know about this because, as I said, I now know this cow costume thing is actually worth the effort...so I wouldn't have to sit there after dying/losing for the one millionth time thinking "Why the insert all curse words here am I doing this for?!?!"

I'm gonna get this as soon as my financial situation sorts out. So I'll probably are gonna be hyped up when everybody has moved on....again

Redpyramidhead · Nov 23rd, 2005, 02:14 AM

I had put this game aside for quite a while. I had gotten to the cliffs of madness only to release that somehow I had accidentally saved the game in easy mode somewher along the way... NOOOOO! I had to do it in atleast normal. So basically, I had to start the fuck over from the beginning when I started playing the game again earlier this fall. Anyways, it did not bother me too much, because the game has some great replay value!

Anyways, I finally got to the final battle with ARES and I would have to say I am quite frustrated as I have not been able to beat it yet no matter how many times I try. I have gotten past the "first stage" of fighting Ares... it is the second stage of fighting him where he "messes with your mind" that I cannot seem to make any headway with. AHHHH! To be able to get through an entire game with such an engrossing story line and I cannot defeat the final boss so that I can see the ending!!! ARGGHHH!!!

I know what you mean, I haven't been able to defeat Ares (is it Ares or Aries? Hmm...I like Aries, for some reason) either...but hey, at least your PS2 didn't decide to, oh, freeze on you right in the middle of second part of the battle! Yes, this happened to me and what made it unbelievably infuriating was that I was *this* close to beating the dirty rat! Hahahahahaha! *twitches at the lovely memory* After that happened, I had to stop playing...hmm, probably forever otherwise I would've destroyed the game with my teeth.

HA! And why does that sound familiar? I think the same damn thing happened to me!!

Maybe its a bug in the game! And, just like you, I could not continue playing after that happened... it was simply more than I could bare! *cries*

Indeed, it seems there are quite a few glitches in the game. I think there were a few other times the game froze on me other than the last battle, I don't remember...it's been a while.

Good for you. Sadly for me. I was just getting past the desert area. (Could barely see a thing) I had to follow the voices and such. And when I got to the save point. It froze. Now I know I shouldn't be as mad as the rest of y'all because y'all were in a middle of a boss fight.

But me and my "low tolerance" for such things... I didn't even want to play the rest of the game because of that. I hate doing things over unless I've already beat the game before.
