Can anyone find this game? It's sold out everywhere! urrrrrrghhhh

My brothers and I have a tradition going, where I play the game, they all watch, and we have loads of fun!

"God of War is the best game I've never played" - My brother

Now we got the projector setup at this girl's place (where it stretches and covers an entire 12'x20' wall), but we have no game! ****!

Frankly, my backlog is so horrifying that I've forced myself to stop buying new games until I get through about half of the backlog. So right now that's Endless Ocean 2, Bioshock 2, Pokemon HeartGold, and maybe some Resistance: Fall of Man (got it for $10, we'll see if I like it).

But yes, I am stupid excited for GoW3.

I missed the cutoff date to preorder the ultimate edition by one day. I have to wait until tomorrow to see if someone who did preorder it didn't buy it. I might sweet talk the clerk at Gamecrazy to try to get it tonight. I'm thinking of wearing a low cut shirt....

Stogi · « **Reply #3 on:** March 17, 2010, 06:13:44 PM »

I'm assuming the clerk is gay then?

Maybe Adrok's been lying to us for years, and he's actually a very busty, curvy blonde.

I've never played any of the God of War games, but I bought the PS3 compilation of the first two, so if I ever end up playing that and like it I'll get this.

Adrock · « **Reply #6 on:** March 18, 2010, 05:55:49 PM »

I bought it last night and I didn't even have to do anything morally questionable. I just asked nicely.

And yes, I have huge tits. The awesome kind, not the gross kind that fatties have....

I got up to Hermes

Stogi · « **Reply #7 on:** March 18, 2010, 06:39:14 PM »

I can't even find a place to rent it!

The way I figure, by the time I actually get around to moving through my backlog and actively looking for God of War 3, it will have dropped in price.

D_Average · « **Reply #9 on:** March 19, 2010, 11:39:26 AM »

Alright. I've got to get this game now. I've never been much of a beat em fan nor have I played any other GOW game but I played the demo yesterday and it absolutely blew me away.

Caliban · « **Reply #10 on:** March 19, 2010, 01:04:03 PM »

This game is fucking awesome. That's all I have to say for now. I got the Pandora's Box edition.

Would people recommend the GoW 1&2 port, or going straight to GoW 3, for someone who's never played any of them?

So did I. Pretty disappointed, but my fault. I didn't pay attention to the part where most of the bonus content needs to be downloaded. I thought I was getting CDs.

Get it if you haven't played them before. God of War hasn't aged that well. It's still good. It's just that going back to the original after playing III will probably ruin the experience because the sequels have made some major improvements.

God of War II is still my favorite, but I'm not done III yet.

D_Average · « **Reply #13 on:** March 20, 2010, 02:17:52 PM »

Man I can't find this for rental either.

Caliban · « **Reply #14 on:** March 20, 2010, 10:15:35 PM »

I've been playing this game on Hard mode, and let me say that it's not as enjoyable to play it like that as it is in Easy or Normal. It can be quite frustrating, the kind of frustration that makes me want to snap and pulverize the damn controller. All the latent flaws come out when playing on Hard, but I've been seeing that a lot in games.

I would recommend it, but play it in succesion, so that way when you reach GoW III you will be amazed... or not, some people just don't like the GoW series.

I was dissapointed for the same reason. I still like the box.

hm, well I bought GoW collection, and am enjoying GoW1 now... it's simple, satisfying gameplay, and the controls seem very good. I like the "loose but responsive" feel. It's a damn good thing it won't let you fall off edges when you're not supposed to, though, because I'd die every 5 seconds if it did...

The visual don't seem too bad really, especially considering it's really a PS2 game! Certainly not "annoying bad".

Also cheaper than other PS3 games, and you get two for that price!

I'm not even reading this thread for the threat of spoilers, but holy mother of pearl is the opening of this game jaw-droppingly amazing. Probably the best first half-hour of a game I've ever played. No preamble, very little story setup, just drops you right into CRAZY action in an absolutely bananas environment.

I think GoW3 is the first game where I can really say people should buy a PS3 just to play it. It's a spectacle among spectacles, and the gameplay and controls are as airtight as the first two games.

So you wouldn't say that about Uncharted 2? I haven't spent too much time with that game, but I watched a friend of mine play through most of it, and based on that I'd have to say it's deserving of that praise.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #18 on:** March 21, 2010, 01:18:13 AM »

Sigh, I want this game so bad but just not possible. I did pick up the PS3 compilation of God of War though.

Oh, dear. Wait until...... Let's just say David Jaffe actually apologized for what I'm referring to. For the people who have beaten the first game: Hades.

Uncharted 2 was fun-believable. That's a combination of fun and unbelievable. I didn't even like the first one. The sequel, however, blew me the f*ck away.

I don't think one game can justify the purchase of an entire system. I bought my PS3 because I knew God of War III was eventually coming out, but there were other games I knew I also wanted.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #20 on:** March 21, 2010, 01:50:17 AM »

No, I don't think one game can be the only reason, but it can be the main reason, something that pushes you over the edge. I bought a 360 because I wanted to play Mass Effect, but there were a bunch of other games I was interested in as well; I was willing to live without those games, but I wasn't willing to not be able to play that.

D_Average · « **Reply #21 on:** March 21, 2010, 03:37:23 PM »

I think GOW3 and Uncharted 2 both deserves the killer app to buy the console badge (though I've only played the GOW demo). However, with GOW 3, I'd be more comfortable recommending that game to buy the ps3 b/c its an easier game to get into, as you can button mash your way through an easy mode and see all sorts of crazy sh$$. The scale of the game, just makes your jaw drop and thank the gods for such a spectacular experience. Its blows Dante's Inferno away, and I really enjoy Dantes Inferno. It reminds me of the first time I saw Resident Evil on PSone and thought, I've got to get a PSone. Speaking of, has anyone picked up the remastered Res Evil on the PSN?

He did? Wow. That level was one of my main complaints about the first game. I thought that level's design was quite uninspired.

I wouldn't recommend skipping 1 and 2. You really wound't grasp Krato's anger like you should. But that's just me, I love stories and jumping to the end of one isn't the way to go IMO. I'm actually thinking of replaying them in order (all threee of them which includes the PSP GoW CoO) prior to playing GoW3.

Stogi · « **Reply #24 on:** March 22, 2010, 02:58:40 AM »

3 hours in and its AWESOME.

The intro to the opening menu is so full of win then when you actually start the game, it has one of the BEST opening sequences I've ever played. EVER.
