Anyway, wow, this is great. The fact that I already beat both on God and Titan mode respectively had turned me off of doing it again to get the trophies, but since those won't be trophies, looks like I might go trophy hunting after all. #godofwarcollection

"I have never understood why people find it so difficult."
And? What's your philosophical point? That you're too good? Or that most players are tards?
According to Santa Monica themselves, The Styx was the only level that didn't go through focus tests, and it painfully shows. On my first playthrough, I died about 50 times trying to top those fucking columns because of the buggy collision masks.
Two years later, on my second playthrough, despite being dead nervous at the idea of having to deal with those bloody columns again, I climbed both of them on my first try -- go figure. All I can say is that I am positively certain the collision mask was much tighter the second time around. #godofwarcollection

My point was that I don't understand why people find it so hard. Yeah, the collision detection is off, but after you get hit once or twice you can make adjustments and estimations about how close Kratos can be to the spikes. #godofwarcollection

These collection just increased it's sales a bit by having 2 plats. Trophy whores everywhere are foaming at the mouth at the prospect of 2 platinums for 40 bucks.
Hahaha... #godofwarcollection

Really, there should be more compilation releases like this. That Mega Man compilation was such a great buy. I'd love to see Nintendo lump every Zelda from OoT up to Twilight Princess onto a compilation with a few features. Or if Square would throw all the SaGa games onto a compilation. Or, "Ratchet and Clank's Greatest Hits": put trophies into the PS2 games and toss them all together, with a couple more interlocking features. That's good gaming. #godofwarcollection

But thinking about maybe get this down the road. #godofwar

I'm not really fond of QTEs and it seems like the combat itself is just a giant spamfest. Maybe I'm not playing on a high-enough difficulty? I made it through the 1st game just mashing the crap out of the buttons. Hell, the radius in which Kratos's blades covers is so damn wide, half the time nothing can even get close enough to hit you.
Just my 2 cents. I'll probably wind up picking this up anyways. #godofwar

Yeah, I know he gets revenge on the other gods for shunning him or whatever, but that wasn't the point of the game. That feels like an artificial plot designed to get a sequel made. I heard GoW2 was a ton of fun, but the resolution of 1 gave me no reason to play the game. Of course, the gameplay of 1 was the main reason to play 2, so perhaps I'm missing the point. Then again, maybe a storyline that is growing stagnant is the reason for GoW3 seeming to take forever to come out... #godofwar

I'd say the combo system is better/more in depth than the DMC series (although the gun/sword combo makes Dante's move set more versatile with less moves) but not quite on par with Ninja Gaiden. This is, of course, on the harder difficulties of all 3 games/series.
Although, once you fully upgrade the Blade of Artemis in the 1st game, it's pretty much game over for anything that crosses your path. #godofwar

God mode is a hell of a lot harder than Normal mode, but it will still always be easier overall than the hard modes in DMC or NG. #godofwar
10/17/09
As far as not playing GoW2 and continuing the plot, you're missing out. Just my opinion. It's a good game. #godofwar

Part 2 was better in every way and the most epic game I ever played. #godofwar

God of War II was one of the best looking games of the last generation; in HD it (almost) holds up in the current gen too.
10/16/09
But at least it doesn't looks worse like Metroid Prime Trilogy on Wii. #godofwar

I saw a sega genesis running on a wide screen lcd on a walmart and boy that was ugly.
But on this case, I think that it will be maybe a bit better (like n64 zelda ocarina of time running on higher resolutions than it's native one..)
