Addicted to God of War III?

I beat the game and immediately started a second playthrough. I finished my first game in 12 hours, second in 10, and I immediately started a third. I can't put the game down because the combat is so much fun and Kratos is such a joy to control. Plus it's total eye sex. :P

I tried playing other games but nothing feels as good as GoW3 in my hands right now. Battlefield Bad Company 2 is the only game managing to drag me away, and that's because my friends are playing it. If it was BFBC2 with randoms, or play GoW3 for the 4th time, I would probably pick GoW3.

I put it down to the controls, Kratos is just so much fun to play as, from combat, platforming and puzzle solving, that going back to something else just feels slightly clunky and unresponsive. It doesn't hurt that the rest of the game is up to that same calibre

Anyone else having a similar problem going back to other games, post GoW3?

I haven't bought GoW3 yet, and won't for awhile, so nay. Though gotta say, your "Now Playing" list is full of LIES! :P

Yep, pretty addicted myself. Me and a friend played through it over the weekend and he said he is tempted to trade in his 360 to get a PS3 and GOW3 depending on how much he can get for trade.

Last night it took me almost 2 hours to get through the first encounter of the first boss on the hardest setting. Stupidly I thought you got a trophy for completing it on the hardest setting but I just found out its Titan mode you get the trophy for. I am a a bit relieved as I dont think I could finish it on the hardest setting but I cant tell you how much satisfaction I had getting through that first encounter, it was awesome.

I've started again on hard mode now and its much easier so far.

on my 3rd playthru. and trying to finish the challenges. only one or 2 other games have entered my ps3 since it came out. and those were only cuz my friends were tired of watchin me play gow3 and me ignoring them lol.

(stands up) Hi, my name is newhighscore. and im a gow3 addict.

I don't think any game is good enough to play through it straight away, since everything is still fresh in your mind, for me it would be terribly boring. Ill wait a few months before I go back to it

Kinda short gameplay Don't ya agree?krazy-blazer

I completely disagree.

Trophies, challenge maps, arena, collectibles, and harder difficulties do alot to make the game longer.

I'm addicted, I borrowed it from my bro and beat it and he had to take it back, I miss it so much i'm buying my own copy even though I already beat it...

Those do add replay value, but challenges aren't long or THAT hard if you know what you're doing, arena is kinda boring you just add your own enemies, I will say the bulk of replay comes from trophies and harder difficulties.

Is that the part where the room rotates about 2 or 3 times? Each time before it rotates the spikes come out of the ground? On my first time through on Titan mode that spot was a bummer.

Next spot I got stuck on was the part where you fight the Cerebus (Sp?) ... you know, the big three headed dog that is spitting out exploding dogs at you? I think its the last time you face one of them though. Anyways, what a ****** that was, first head is NP but then those guys with the staff that has blades at the end start popping up after you dislodge a head.

Very frustrating.

[QUOTE="JoKeR_421"][QUOTE="Jshoelace"] Chaos is insanely hard! As said, it took me almost 2 hours trying to get passed the first boss encounter. Maybe i just suck at it. It reminded me of Demons Souls and the satisfaction you get after killing an arch demon. KapG

Yeah the game is a real blast, I can play through the story 10 times and I still wouldn't be bored because the gameplay is damn entertaining.

When i finally get both GOW Collection and the third i shall continuely replay them over and over agian, until i can play with my eyes closed and recite the dialogue

[QUOTE="KapG"]

[QUOTE="JoKeR_421"] well the first boss took me 30min, died about 2 maybe 3 times. but the ONE place thats giving me a hard time is the labyrinth im at the final level where im about to escape with pandora but god damn, those waves of enemy is insane! been stuck there for a day lolHahadouken

I don't have this with God of War III, but I did have it after each Uncharted game. It took me months before I could appreciate another game. Obviously over time it becomes easier, but it was a rough couple of months for me, gaming-wise, after those two games.

cant get enough of this game, its great

i beated the game in titan already, and the cerberus was xtremely hard. took me about 1:30hr or 2 to beat it. my technique was grabbing his dogs and throwing them at him and using the bow, and some times use the blades of exile. try to keep as much health as u can in the first stage !!!

after u ripp off the first head, focus on the cerberus doing the same thing with the dogs so u can inflict damage from a distance, and as for the satyr, just evade his attacks, keep hitting the cerberues until u ripp off the second head.

after i did that, there were no more satyrs except for the first one....

hope it works for u !

Still havn't played GOW 3 yet, but with all the intense posts and reviews about it, I might be picking it up soon xD

currently playing GOW3 on the second playthrough. trophy hunting and doing it on Titan mode. trying to earn a platinum on it. also playing Final Fantasy 13 a lot. still need to go back to Uncharted 1 (one trophy from earning that platinum)

and Uncharted 2 is within grasp as well...

damn.... i'm pretty set when it comes to games for a long while...

I'm still on my first play through, and I bought it on launch. Havent had much time to play, but also i'm taking my time. Man, the amount of money i've spent on this game though is ridiculous:

1 X Standard edition

1 X collectors edition (contained 2 downloadable skins and special packaging)

1 X Ultimate edition

1 X limited edition strategy guide

and hopefully buying the soundtrack when its released on March 30th. You better believe i'll be buying toys if they are released.

dont hate :P

Took me 5 and a half hours on normal. Was a decent game, but I have no desire to play it again.

dlindenb2000

Once I beat a game I usually don't touch it again....after I beat GOW3 I put on my new costume just to see how it looked and started the game over and I couldn't put it down again lol yes it's addicting

5.5 hours on normal??? no freakin way! it took me just over 10 on normal and I think I'm pretty good lol

If you're going to lie about beating a game, at least make it believable ... or even better,keep your comments to yourself

5 minutes into the gameplay of this game and I had to shovel my jaw off the floor. My roomate walked by my room right as I said "Holy S--T" at the graphics, and he sat down next to me and watched me play for 3 hours straight. The only thing that I hate about this game is that it is going to end.

[QUOTE="Hahadouken"] Yeah, somehow I don't believe that at all. 5.5 hours isn't even reasonable, I won't believe that until I see screens.Hahadouken

1st off, i dont hink 5 hours is possible. even with all the godly possessions helpin u cheat your way thru.

@ hahadouken, really? i thought they were easier to find in this one than in the previous games. i was maxed out pretty early on. except for the item bar. thats always the last one on each playthru. they were pretty generous with the orbs i thought too.

explore everywhere. destroy everything!

I played it for a few days straight, beat it 3 times completely, and got the platinum. The first time was Titan, then Spartan to finish up all my trophies, and finally God cause my friend wanted to see the story and he played on it too. The only game I've actually played considerably after getting the platinum is Uncharted 2 because of the DLC trophies. If I ever do go back to God of War 3, it'll be to attempt Chaos mode which I'm actually not sure if I can beat.abdelmessih101

i thought u needed to beat chaos mode to get the plat? :|
