God of War 3

[Kyo]

the fact that you made the claim that there were only 5 good game suggest brobox and is borderline trolling as this is not the thread for this discussion
in other words stop, lol

Yeah, Im sorry for derailing, anyway on topic.

Spoiler: show

Just beat Poseidon, and wow was his death brutal, this game looks so amazing. His death was done through his eyes, looked fucking cool.

[Souj]

Is anyone else having problems with the wing glide? Ive died from falling because of failed wing glides like 7 times already.

[Kyo]

Ive noticed that a couple times.

Spoiler has nothing to do with that, its about the second boss fight.

Spoiler: show

Man the fight with Hades is one of the best boss fights Ive done in a long ass time, they really did a good job on the fight.
Also, the claws of hades are really cool, you can choose what kind of demon to summon, thought that was a nice touch.

[Kyo]

I put 6 hours in, but sadly I need some sleep. Loved every minute of the game, they really did an awesome job with this game.

[Kaisha]

Argh, my EB Games had God of War 3 in, but they weren't expecting the Ultimate pack until later today.

Holy fucking bless baby jesus, the chronos fight was amazing

[Insanecyclone]

1hr 30+ minutes in and this is amazing

[Atreides]

do I need to take a break from FF13 to play this?

[Fou-Lu]

where are the sex mini games?
I don't wanna miss them!

[Tyrath]

I was wondering how they were gonna strip me of my powers this time

Spoiler: show

The titans turned their back on me. Shocker. Didn't the gods do the exact same thing last time <_< Gonna kill 'em all, gahhhh

[Exoduso]

I wish I had time to pick this up and play it before this weekend... I'm jealous. =/

[Tobi]

I wanna pick this shit up so bad, but I don't know if I should yet

The only thing keeping me from getting it is the Length of 100% completing this. Depending on how long it takes to 100% complete it, I'll consider picking it up now or waiting.

[Kaisha]

Got my Ultimate edition. Forgot I had $46 on my two gift cards, so that basically offset the cost of the regular vs. ultimate.

At any rate, has anyone gotten their codes emailed to them yet for the store-specific skins?

[EDIT] Jeez, GoW site getting hammered hard, it's slower than KillingIfrit.


[EDIT2] Oh god, whatever method this game is using to hide jaggies, I want every other PS3 game to employ the same technique.

Bricks were shat when i realized who was voicing Hercules

Pretty sure it is MLAA. They offload the process to the Cell's SPU's instead of doing it on the GPU which frees up the GPU to do more visually stunning stuff. The Saboteur used MLAA aswell (I think they were one of the first) and they were praised for it, and ended up looking much better than the 360 version.

I'm pretty sure more and more titles on the PS3 are going to be using MLAA, which is great as it is fucking awesome and looks a hundred times better than Quincunx AA which a lot of titles used.

[Kaisha]

Fuck quincunx, friggen vaseline-vision. I remember reading that DigitalFoundry article on Saboteur, didn't think it'd be used here also as it doesn't appear to have some of the side-effects (issues with HUD quality), unless the GoW3 devs found a way around it.

It'll be awesome for multi-platform titles then as most ports don't even make use of half of the SPUs, so if it's something that's easily plugged in and tinkered with, I think we'll be seeing more PS3 titles that are more equivalent to the 360 release, or potentially better.
(unlike crap such as Fallout3 which was jaggy hell on the PS3)


God, this looks so much better than the E3 demo. Didn't think we'd have a game that would surpass Uncharted 2's visuals already.


You played Saboteur at all btw? Been thinking of grabbing it when it hits the bargain bin, but if it's a massive bugfest like Mercenaries 2 is, I'll probably skip it even when it hits $19.

[EDIT] Just checked the article again, seems it may indeed have been used in God of War 3 as well given its been given an update from one of the GoW developers from when I last read it - http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/di...-aa-blog-entry

It seems the next step from there is to increase the quality of the texture filtering and we're gold.

do I need to take a break from FF13 to play this?

i am wondering the same thing

[Kaisha]

I'm thinking of starting over, repeatedly getting my ass handed to me by the first boss in all the encounters on Titan difficulty. >.>

Seems they bumped the difficulty up a notch since GoW2.

[Atreides]

was there supposed to be an additional code inside the ultimate edition? All I had was a scratch-off thingy with 3 codes in the game box itself (which was masterfully hidden beneath the felt so for a second I thought I got cheated lol)

[Atreides]

is that Rip Torn voicing Hephaestus?
