It was an awesome game. What difficulty are you playing it on? Play it on an easier difficulty to enjoy the game and then return to play it on a harder one to collect any thing else you might want.

That sucks for you I guess. I think this is the only game ever where I never got frustrated. At all.

Only one part of the game frustrated me, otherwise it was pretty decent.

dont give up. just learn the different patterns of each boss. its really rewarding once you beat them.

uhm, there's something called trial and error. i, for one, played on Titan and i died about 100+ times in my entire 14-hour playthrough. lol if you think Poseidon is rough, wait for the later bosses. i actually found Poseidon to be quite easy.

hint: remember to block when he punches. if he were to bring his trident down Gaia's hand, dodge it. he has two kinds of lightning attacks. one with like a 3-hit combo, and another one where he would just electrify the ground for 4 seconds or so. for the first lightning attack, dodge/roll 3 times backwards (or to the back). for the 2nd lightning attack, roll/dodge to the back as fast as possible. for the punches, just block them. or better yet, parry them.

just observe attack patterns. it gets easier once you know what attacks he'll throw.

I haven't seen Lupan the 3rd in a LONG time! I doubt I even spelled it right ... I am playing on Titan and I thought the Poseidon fight was the hardest ... It all depends on how you play normally then adjusting to the patterns ... Play it on EASY first if you're "trying it out" and if you die on EASY, it's not your bag

I agree. The game is quite easy. I have died only one time (during the final battle).

being this is your first experience with the gow franchise maybe you should play it on easy. honestly the bosses are only going to get harder and frustrate you more as the game goes on.

kratos should be the one consumed with rage, not you.

The bit i got stuck on for ages was one of the flying/falling scenes where you fall to go cut the chain. I just couldn't seem to dodge anything. Took me like 30mins for a2 minute sequence

I chose to play on Titan (Hard) for my first play through. Just finished it yesterday. I found some bits very frustrating, but I've been playing Ninja Gaiden since 2004 so I'm use to frustration. I chose Titan because Normal was just too easy. I haven't waited all these years for GoW3, only to buy it and breeze through it in a few hours. It should be hard, it should be challenging, you should have to use your brain to win battles and you should have to improve in order to progress through the game.

I loved the boss battles..but seriously, sometimes they'd pile way too many enemies and not give you enough health. The game at times did seem like it was harder than it should be on hard. 70% through the game I had to accept the request of easy. I never do easy..but some of those monster take wayyy too long to die. (ridiculous)

I played though on normal, I had no problem. I played though on hard and the only frustrating part was right before the end boss where you had to fight that huge 3 headed dog that spits out little exploding dogs, I almost gave up after about a total of about 2 hours there (not at one time), but I finally got it.

What I find very frustrating is the "Simply Smash" mode in challenge of olmpions (I know, spelling). I swear my chains go right though alot of the pots:evil:

I'm going through on normal, just got to the labarynth. I agree that the boss battles are the best part of this game, Hades is a great battle. Still more to come, should be good.

Thought it only affected combat
