I don't know what you hope to achieve by jumping all the time? Everyone knows that the key the winning in God of War is Square, Square, Triangle, Dodge, rinse and repeat.

The key to win is throw whenever possible because most throws make you invincible during its animation and they can't be blocked.

If throw isn't possible, then block and hit the enemies during their recovery animation. Playing offensively in God of War is risky because most enemies doesn't get stunned by regular attacks.

The Triangle hit in the Pume of Prometheus combo (Square, Square, Triangle) will stun most enemies though.

Yes because that isn't a regular attack, it is a launcher (well, it isn't a "true" launcher but I'm not going to get into a terminology discussion).

Any move that launches enemies into the air or knocks them down works, but they're unsafe (can't block quickly after it or leave you in the air) or take a while to set up, like the square, square, triangle combo. The same enemy you're attacking can hit you during the squares, hence the "block and hit them during their recovery".

Edit - And reversals are bugged in GoW 1 so they aren't an option in that one - which leads us to Rol's thread.

I think Sessler had also a problem in GOW3  (I dont remember the exact part), I think it was the fight when the laberynth is rotating, and you have spikes trolling every now and then or maybe the cerberus breeder lol.   I remember when he did the GOW3 review, one of the things he mentioned was that there was a really hard part.

Looks like it it will be a tradition for every GOW game now to have a part in which they will kick you in the nuts XD

I have trouble in Laberynth to get the trophy aMAZEd... no failing or dying... I need to try a lot of times to get that.

I play a lot of games and I have to say that the GoW games are some of the hardest. I also play most games on normal, so I know how easy most games are (no idea why I still play everything on normal when I could easily go through hard in most games but...). Did you not find the part in GoW3 with the cerberus +some other enemies near the end of the game hard?

Is that the part where you're closed off in a small area? I think I remember a fight I had to retry 2-3 times there.



Signature goes here!

Your one of those that hate button masher games I bet.  So, you shouldn't like any games because every game is a button masher, some just more than others.

Guys.. DarknessBear finished it. He says:

"It took me about 8 hours. But I got stuck at one point for about a hour, so not sure if that effected it"

I seriously think the reviewers will tear this game up. IM
SCARED. GR Sweden are calm and only thing theyve said is its one of the best gfx ever on consoles to date but they usually talk more and kinda give a short impression. People think theyre gonna 7/10 it.

God why did Ascension need to be made. Just go to GoWIV with a new char and mythology. I dont want Kratos sad :( i cant sleep..

And get this: The MP isnt even up atm. Chances are most reviews wont include a good representation of the MP which is wtf when its nearly all they showed.

I can see why they tried to not spoil ascensions SP. Game is only 7 hours!! WHY ;_;

I don't mind if it is short. I just want it to be fun and replayable. But from the looks of it I wonder if people are going to suggest the SP was hurt because of the MP.  I hope it gets great reviews and this problem is minor. It would just contribute to what GOW critics have been saying about the series - style and no substance (graphics but no gameplay that's worth a damn).
