God of War III — Early Thoughts

Posted by Allan in Games, Prose on March 17, 2010 1:30 am

Just a few random things…

  • Running on Normal Difficulty ’cause I’m lame like Hephaestus
  • Turn on the captioning.  I realized this late enough that I missed a few things early on.
  • Water-horse.  Ha!  Hopefully the Loch Ness Monster was not offended.
  • ..aaaand of course the requisite Kratos-gimping.  (yeah, SPOILER ALERT!)
  • With all the notes I’m finding, I assume that someone must be handing out school supplies at the entrance of the underworld.  Also, I wish I knew more mythology to understand some of the allusions.  The Persephone storyline is a nice touch though.
  • Blades of Chaos/Athena/Exile — the chained swords change names more frequently than Puff Daddy!  Yeah, I know they’re supposedly different swords each time.  Right.  Same shape, new paint job, new name.
  • Why can’t I use the blade of olympus in regular combat?  Am I missing something?
  • The magic has been pretty mediocre so far.  Where’s my force-lightning?  I like my force-lightning.
  • And lastly, for now, one of the main thoughts is “damn, I’m sure I’ve already missed collecting a few items along the way.”
