wait till you play the final boss.  Best final boss in any GoW game imo (not sure if I already talked with you about this).  Also don't worry about the trials of archimedes the reviewers played that up way too much it's not harder than the most difficult sections at the end of previous numbered entries (giant cerberus and 2 satyrs in GoW3 gave me more fits).

haha you dont know me well enough to know this, but if anybody tells me any little detail about the game i go insane lol. for example i go nuts of somebody tells me "ohh the story is amazing, there is a twist in it that will blow your mind away" lol even if the guy just said that i go crazy lol. for some odd reason i just wait until i see that twist! so yeah, im nutts and now ill be thinking about how the final boss will blow my mind away for the rest of the game haha

And there will be  patch to lower the difficuluty. Although I didn't think it was too difficult. The reviewers were just high on crack while rating this game.

well then it's terrible lol there now I've set your expectations low and lied so I'm not spoiling anything.  I hate when people mention twists too because a great twist is at its best when you're caught off guard.  I can think of a game that I could use as an example but then I'd be revealing it had a twist and if you hadn't played it so I'll keep my mouth shut.

good this way we can stay friends

I keep my standards low. I only check out games that rated above 95%.

There's little reason to preorder games, and certainly no reason to trust "professional" reviews. It's better to wait until the game is out and read a wide range of reviews and info, than the pre-release hype.

The only preorders should be for companies and game series you really truly trust to not lay a landmine. That list for me is very short and consists of Falcom and Gust.

lower the difficuluty? seriously? i played every GoW game on normal, and they werent easy, i used to die a lot at times. but in this one i played it on normal as well. the first half hour i didnt die once, i ended up starting all over again on hard mode, which seems just a little bit harder than the normal mods in previous GoW games. i swear gamers are becoming .... i was going to say a curse word but i dont know if i would get banned for that lol. ummm gamers are becoming cry babies, games just keep getting easier and easier, "normal" mode now days is when you can play a game and not die once now days. specially shooters, they are becoming incredibly easy. ohh and assassin's creed. i mean that game is just really fucking easy

I know what you mean I played every GoW on Hard and this one seemed about the same if not easier since you can basically grapple everything for most fights and then the enemies can't hurt you while you're in the animation.

yeah i didnt really go with that approach, that way i dont get orbes/health/magic/yellow orbes from my kills, also it takes forever, i find it better to dodge, keep pressing X then throw the enemies in the air and hold Square while in the air then L1 4 (while using the ice) that way i can cause a lot of damage and not get hit, actually there are a lot of ways where i can do that. i usually use the grapple when there are a lot of those enemies and i there is a huge as enemie attacking, i just use it quickly so i dont get my ass beat lol
