In God of War I, you swing on a rope like twice in the game, once at the start on the other at the near the end.
When I got to that second rope, I had completely forgotten you could swing yourself with the O button. I tried sooo many times to make that jump with just the initial swing of your jump, everytime falling to my doom, this was one of the times I got the most pissed at a game.
Signature goes here!
