Baal plays God of War

HELLO APHRODITE.

I'm dying right now, that was hilarious.

What was hilarious?

The sex mini-game with Aphrodite.

Oh Cronos, you attempt to eat me, THEN TELL ME TO LEAVE AFTER I GET THE STONE?

No, it doesn't work that way pal, YOU TRIED TO FUCKING EAT ME!

My god, that ending was fucking intense.

Really good game.

wait how long was it??

About Twelve hours, maybe a bit more than that. These games have never been long.

It can depend on the difficulty you play on though. For instance, I was stuck on a certain part of the game for about an hour >.<

I was playing on Normal. Probably go for Titan next, since there's a trophy.

Get back to playing Okami.

NOT YET

Just finished Titan (Hard) difficulty, shit was intense. I've got 72% of the trophies now, so we're getting somehwere.

Which ones do you still need?

1000-Hit Combo
Blind 100 Enemies with Helios' Head
Deliver 50 Kicks to Hounds
Burn 100 Enemies with the Bow of Apollo
Summon Every soul with the Claws of Hades
Collect All Phoenix Feathers
Collect all Godly Possessions
Don't die in the Labyrinth
Collect All Trophies

The 1000 hit combo is easy enough. You remember the giant scorpion fight? Well just use the Claws and spam the grapple move on the smaller scorpions.

Anyways, I've played enough by now to give an actual opinion about the game, so here it goes.

The graphics are amazing, as anyone who's seen them could tell, the voice-acting is as good as it was before if not better, Rip Torn (Hephaestus) standing out amongst others for being one of the only ones that don't ham it up and chew the scenery, Clancy Brown (Hades) was a great choice because it portrays the character's apathetic attitude so well while still making him seem like a credible threat, TC Carson and Corey Burton ham it up as per usual, KEVIN MOTHERFUCKING SORBO voices Hercules as an allusion to the old TV show, and well... those are the only ones that really matter but everyone else fits the part too.

The landscapes are as beautiful as ever and the Underworld is wonderfully portrayed as its own world and not just some subsection of Earth, while Tartarus is portrayed as the more Hellish landscape. The character models move well and all of the particle effects are rather nice. Oh and towards the end of the game, when the world starts going to shit, the chaos that engulfs it? Shit has to be seen to be amazed at.

The story is... well, a good conclusion to the trilogy. You wage war on the Olympians, fuck their shit up and save the day in the end because Kratos decided to help humanity. Although the problem I have in the game is with... well, the Gods. How arrogant are these fuckers? Seriously, you'd think at least one of them would know not to underestimate Kratos. The dude's kill Ares, Athena (Unintentionally), The Fates, several heroes, and he starts killing some of them, yet they are still the most arrogant fuckwads ever. THE DUDE NEARLY KILLED ZEUS, STOP TRYING TO PROVOKE HIM, YOU RETARDS! Even Hercules isn't spared utter stupidity, the fucker blinds you for a few seconds then turns his back to gloat about how awesome he is, THIS LEAVES KRATOS AMPLE TIME TO SMASH YOUR FACE IN, MORON! And even Zeus, ZEUS, still keeps fucking with him, knowing full and well what he can do and that he can kill him.

The music is pretty good but nothing I've really cared except for the "Glory to Sparta" track.

Some of the boss battles are awesome, Hades, Hercules and Zeus standing out the most. And the gameplay is pretty much the same except, the weapons actually matter now. The Blades of Exile are still useful but the Nemean Cestus are the most powerful weapons, the Claws of Hades are fun to use and allow you to summon souls of the dead, and Nemesis Whip uses electricity for chain combos and such. The magic is partnered with each weapon, when you get a new weapon, you get a new magic to go along with it.

I'd say this is the best game in the series, I really enjoyed it a lot.

You forgot to mention Chronos.

Cronos was epic.

He was more of a long string of climbing and fighting mooks rather than an actual boss.

was it a shadow of colussus kinda thing

Yes, only much grander.

Playing God of War from the GoW collection right now.

The first game is boring. Only the story and Kratos himself are good.
