Blu-ray God of War changes are minimal, doubles up on trophies

Hey man, wanna go have some meat loaf?

MA!.....The meatloaf!!

:D

Glad someone picked that up

I thought you didnt have a PS3?

Nope I've had a 360 and ps3 since their launches. Getting a Wii for christmas (I was told I am at least).

I would do anything for love...but I won't lose weight.

Part 1 was a lot harder on the hardest mode,. What worries me is if they make it so it's properly widescreen and not just cropped like they did in the GoW2. WHen you fought Theseus with widescreen on it would hide some of the ice spikes that would pop up, and on hardest mode those would instantly kill you! Took me a while to figure that out.

God mode was okay...as long as you learn the enemies and use dodge, it was doable. Up until the last part where

*Spoiler*





You fight a bunch of clones of yourself. I tried that probably 200 times, but could not get past it. Aggravating.

This looks good. But still Tmac, you're such a hypocrite.

About Metroid Prime Trilogy:
"Nintendo rehashing old games instead of coming up with new worthwhile IPs? I'm shocked........shocked I tells ya."

"We're not debating quality, we're debating why Nintendo is competing with Square-Enix in the rehash department. Now, Square is struggling money wise so they have somewhat of an excuse but Nintendo surely isn't struggling in the bank department.
They've really become such a sad company to watch this generation."

"I'm also not surprised at everyone getting excited to play rehashes of old games. If there's 1 word to describe pretty much everything and everyone involved in this industry this gen, it's predictable."

"I would be butthurt if my consoles followed Nintendo's path, but as we've seen this gen they both are vastly superior in every way and continue to pump out AAA epic quality games. You'll have to come back next gen to see if I'll be butthurt."

Then comes along this news and:
"I would have bought this anyway even if it doesn't come with a demo of 3 like the rumor suggested, but adding trophies and making it in HD too? Good lord Sony, you've suddenly made my copies of GoW 1 & 2 disappear, I wonder what happened to them..."

You're like, 2 months late to the party, that's all fake man. I'd rather not explain it again, as it's tiring, but keep looking up old WRUPs until you find where I do explain.

I seriously don't give a flying fuck if GOW3 is just a rehash of GOW1 and 2. It's still THE game that's making me want to buy a PS3. You people act like more of a good thing is bad.

I'm sure the trophies include beating both on god mode.

2 was really hard on god mode. Trying to save that guy so he can read the book...ugh.

1 wasn't bad, although if you played in widescreen, the room with the all the moving belts (that's in 1, right?) is really tough because you can't see the marks on the ground showing the harpies are going to crash down on you.

looks at the corner* You've achived 3 sum trophie. YAY!

"You're like, 2 months late to the party, that's all fake man. I'd rather not explain it again, as it's tiring, but keep looking up old WRUPs until you find where I do explain."

You're like, forgetting you said all of that after your little game. And like, still keep posting BS to Nintendo threads. But like, its not as much as before. So maybe like, you see it as reform. But like, I don't see your point whatsoever.

I hate to break it to you, but all of that was said when it was still going on. Trust me, I remember it...as I should, since I said it. I still haven't said anything bad about nintendo since then, only bad games that deserve it, like the conduit.

and here's the proof, even though I didn't need to find this.

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/22/all-three-metroid-prime-games-rolled-up-into-metroid-prime-trilo/

May 22nd I said those things. I stopped doing my act like I said, about 2-3 months ago.

Wait, so if Nintendo re-releases GameCube games for the Wii (with new play controls), it's an uninspiring rehash?

But when Sony does it for PS2 games like God of War (in the face of criticism of lack of BC), suddenly it's time to praise them?

Sony fanboys are such hypocrites.

@ profeteer

I am also stuck at that point and gave up after what felt like a couple dozen tries. I put it down since then to take a break and haven't tried again.

"Sony fanboys are such hypocrites."
Not them. Him.

"I seriously don't give a flying fuck if GOW3 is just a rehash of GOW1 and 2. It's still THE game that's making me want to buy a PS3. You people act like more of a good thing is bad."
Never said GOW3 was a rehash. Or even that this was bad. Combat in GOW has always been solid and there isn't much you could change.
Well, the use of different combos or moves on different types of creatures as they're more effective while others aren't would be good though. Just forcing you to mix it up and keep it varied. I find myself getting to a certain point in the moves unlock where I find two, maybe three, moves/combos that I keep falling back on all of the time because they're just so effective.
I'd like to see a point where I try "ass beater no.2" combo on a creature and they just brush it off and leave me in a state of, "well now the fuck what?"


And use the thesis paper as much as you want tmac. You still walk into nintendo threads and start fights. No one appreciates it. And some of it may be because of extreme animosity towards you for months of trolling but what did you expect? A loving embrace and some makeup sex?

No, I'd like for people to stop spreading lies and/or exaggerations. I say something bad about the conduit for example, and people twist it into me saying bad things about the Wii itself or Nintendo to make me look bad.

You tried to do it too, by linking quotes from a 4 month old article and trying to make it look like I just said all that when a lot's changed since then.

Its already been pretty well established by you that you're the liar. Whether you want to stick to your story or not.

Calling me a liar with no proof is just you trying to continue spreading the FUD against me. Keep up the good fight!

Not a liar? Well then!

lie
intransitive verb
1 : to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive
2 : to create a false or misleading impression

So if you were to stick with your "thesis" statement, which part of that definition doesn't fit you? And if you weren't, which part of that definition doesn't fit you?

And if you need recent statements from you I do believe you like to say you don't care about what other people think all of the time. Last month, two months ago, and so on. But, you certainly are now.

Liar.

Seriously, STFU! You're giving tmac non-stop shit for being a troll... yet what did you do here? You singled him out, rummaged through his post history and go on and on and on about nothing... why? Because he said he wanted to buy a compilation of 2 great games? Who the fuck cares? Is it really worth being a troll yourself just to call him out on a bunch of stupid shit nobody could care less about?

tmac, redjack, your mom called. She wants you to come in for dinner and have your baths.

Preschool is tomorrow. Now stop fighting or you'll go in a time out.

This is one ugly attack going on. Like it or not Redjack, tmac is part of the pack around here and whether he is being good or not, it sure isn't worth it to go on such a rampage. Hell, a Joystiq without tmac would make us sad pandas. You don't want that do you? We all give him grief over some posts, and we all get grief from some of our posts too - but he doesn't do his posts to cause anyone deep rooted pain and anguish. Save your rage for those here who attack people for their personal lives or their political beliefs without any basis.

Also, tmac, i'm thinking of doing a thesis on you being attacked for doing a thesis now - It will blow minds!

......

Seriously MA! The fucking MEAT LOAF!

I approve of a thesis of my thesis. Hell...I'm already confused.

"Preschool is tomorrow. Now stop fighting or you'll go in a time out."

But I still haven't learned how to share or make nice! How am I going to acquire those necessary life skills in timeout!?!?

"This is one ugly attack going on. Like it or not Redjack, tmac is part of the pack around here and whether he is being good or not, it sure isn't worth it to go on such a rampage.

I'm sure its been as civil as it can be in these threads and so you guys have no reason to really dislike tmac. Unfortunately things are going to spill over into the PS and Xbox threads from time to time. And already tmac's run out of witty things to say and its looking for empathy from the PS crowd as you hold tmac in some regard.

I do not. Neither do a lot of people. So skepticism will be harsh from time to time and tmac will be called out on things on a whim. You can make tmac a member of your "pack" all you want. I've been here longer and could care less what it thinks of itself or whether I'm hurting your feelings in the process. Tmac's decided to shit where it eats and has to live with it.

You don't know when to quit do you? I didn't ask for anyone's help, they came on their own because you kept going. If you would have kept quiet after your first post, you would have looked a lot better than you do now.

Besides, you were the one who decided to come out of hiding and attack me out of nowhere, and now it's backfiring because you didn't know when to retreat. You seem to be the only one who hasn't moved on from that old era. Everyone else has, including most of the nintendo fanboys here. Hell, I got freakin Fernando on my PSN friends list so that should tell you all you need to know about how much has changed.

redjack shup up before i spank you.

And that concludes today's episode of "One Joystiq to Live".

cheap bastards trying to sell me a game twice

Since when was this about trying to look good and exactly what is backfiring? And hiding where? Was there a date at the flagpole I missed? I don't have the same need for internet acceptance as you seem to. I just have a need for you to step off the nintendo threads for a long time. Stay in these threads and act pompous.

Now go hide in the skirts of the PS crowd some more and cry for me.

"cheap bastards trying to sell me a game twice"

I hope to GOD that this is a joke account. You'd be seriously messed up if your comments are an actualy reflection of your own behaviour.

joystiq without sprinkles or strategy_panda isn't the same. sprinkles used to troll unforgivingly, and i miss the epic groupings of normal people, fanboys, and other trolls who put their differences aside to attack sprinkles for his retardation. and panda used to troll very subtly, seeming like a good commenter until you get hit by that god damn link of his...

There'll be two.

I just want the first Altered Beast achievement to be labeled "RWISE FWOM YOUR GWRAVE".

It took me six months of casually playing GOW2 on very hard to beat it. After I did finish it and played it on easy with the unlocked Hercules character, it took 3 hours. I feel your pain.

lol

PS2 textures +1080P=Bad looking game.

I'd say if you wanted to go 1080 you'd have to update the textures with more detail. The game looks good as it is anyway.

PS2 textures +40"+ screen=Bad looking game. The resolution won't have much to do with it. 1080p would at least make horizontal lines cleaner without using AA.
