You people are insane. I've done the spiked columns with no damage before without really even thinking about it. I have never understood why people find it so difficult; I'm not saying anyone should be able to get the trophy his first try, but unless they change the mechanics of that challenge, it won't be frustratingly difficult at all.
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.
@Archaotic: Yeah, that blast shard trophy was crazy hard. I actually spent like 2 hours just getting the trophy for having half of the blast shards and then gave up on the rest. #godofwarcollection
@Slagathorian: I'm missing one. Exactly one. I've combed all three islands, I've searched every easily missed location, and I just can't friggin' find it. #godofwarcollection
@Archaotic: God don't remind me of those damn shards, i thought it was going to be easy finding them(being able to see them on the map and all)but damn it was i wrong. #godofwarcollection
@Curse lily: It WAS easy finding them until you get to the VERY LAST one. I think Sucker Punch needs to make them show up on the full-size map after you beat the game. It's only fair. #godofwarcollection
@Archaotic: the one most people miss in on the east coast on the first island out on a pylon sticking up out of the water. The shard-dar barely picks it up. #godofwarcollection
@enaero: the stunts is the worse of the 2. because with teh stunts, only some can be done done at certain points in the game. im trying to muster the patience to get the stunts, cuz the other i have left are a cakewalk next to that trophy. #godofwarcollection
This still has the demo for GoW 3 right? Either way, I'll probably snap this up at some point.
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
@norealityallowed: Seriously, that's way worse than having to beat God mode... That trophy sounds like a giant "fuck you" to the player: "Oh yeah, you didn't like the column? Thought it was cheap and annoying? Well here ya go, enjoy yer trophies, sucka!" #godofwarcollection
played the demo of both of these back in the day, but never got around to playing them. Beat Chains of Olympus on PSP, which is the first story in the canon, so I am obligated to buy and complete these before 3 comes out...or so I tell myself. :) #godofwarcollection
