God of War Collection – Blu-ray Disc Compilation

[patsu]

How many Titans are left ? I am only in GoW I. I thought they say there's only one left (Khronos).

I can't remember the Titan's grabbing attack. I do remember we had to get out of his way to prevent getting stepped on. In any case, if he's an environmental hazard, then may be Kratos will stop him from causing more trouble (Just like Demon's Souls players getting rid of the dragons for safe passage, even if they were not a mini-boss per se).

I'm pretty sure there're at least 3-4 Titans scaling Mount. Olympus including Gaia, Khronos, Perses"the lava titan" and may well be a lot more at the other side of the mountain. I think they're all just too cocky and a coordinated assault on Zeus just wouldn't work for them, hence Kratos' line "in the end there will only be chaos."

GOW I = Billy's first Platin ever!

GOW II graphics are really good looking and some astounding and insane effects (especially the effects with the sun, when you fight one of the giant bosses is phantastic) and the game is even better than GOW I...but hell what a buggy mess it is:

-trophy glitch: Boss Patch 3 trophy doesn't show up
-finishing a boss should open doors: did not happen twice (old save game necessary)
-brutal freezing of pure slim (I suppose the fat one would have eaten GOW II and spit it out)
-suddenly right half of the PS3 controller is not recognized by the game: no inputs (restart did not help, old save game necessary)

I had the impression that they simplfied the last QTE (was insanely difficult in the PS2 version) because it is like a walk in park

My 20GB core froze at the sisters of fate fight once, and I've heard some people having similar problems as well.

The only other freezing I've experienced was with the GOWIII demo itself. Both occasions, I had to turn off the console manually.

Kratos' rage just can't be contained, not even PS3s can be forgiven. I enjoyed GOW2 a lot more than GOW myself due to more bosses and fluid combos, not to mention the sizable increase in graphics.

I got the trophy bug in GOW2 for Boss Batch 3 too pretty annoying.

For GOW1 I did just beat all 10 Challenge of the Gods for the first game finally. But that final mission 10 I think has done permanent damage to my hands and my mental health. Not sure it was worth it for the trophy.

I cant believe that GOW3 is clear for an australian release.

oops wrong thread

Yeah, exactly...I hope they patch the game...because this trophy glitch prevents Billy from his second platinum trophy ever!

Heh, I haven't completed the game. Forgot that I could use the red stuff to upgrade my skills. I have been fighting monsters using the same basic move I got at the beginning of the game. Pandora Castle is as far as I could go.

Will retry after I "level up" !

That's the first thing in a while the OFLC has done right :/

For Aussies (and Euros?), the GoW Collection will only be available in a mega pricey "Ultimate Pack" for ~$249AUD. Far better value can be had importing the Collection for ~$50 and buying the game at retail for ~$79-$89 like most new releases.

Plus you get the added bonus of playing the Collection now instead of March!

The collection is only ~$40 at Play-Asia.

Finally got the GoW2 plat last night, felt good Wasn't especially challenging, but damn I missed a lot of feathers in my first playthrough!

Both games were still as fun as I remembered them to be!

What the heck happened to the UK release?? I HATE it when these things happen, there is no reason whatsoever for this to be delayed so much in the UK. I'd have loved to play GOW2 before 3 comes out, but now i'll just have to read the story somewhere and pick up GOW3. Not happy!

 

[RenegadeRocks]

It still looks awesome on the ps2 ! Just play that ! You won't be disappointed !

My PS2 broke down years ago, so playing it on PS3 is my only option

Well, then try to pick up a copy from the different websites that allow sale of games.
The shipping costs do make it a sour deal though

 

[Npl]

Well, is there any reference on how good/bad the collection did commercially?
Would be interesting to know if it sets a good example for profitable "PS2 ports".
