God of War Ascension

On 03/16/2013 at 05:01 PM by angelfaceband42

I got the Collector's Edition at Launch and have been enjoying it immensly. This entry is not anything special. If you love God of War then it's good, Otherwise if you happen to be a new comer to the series, your best bet is to spend your money on the hd release of god of war 1 and 2. I haven't played 3 yet so I can't testify to how much better it is, but I've played all the others.

Anyway this is going to be a short rant. I think I've reached a game glitch. A horrible game glitch....we're talking I think I'm going to have to start over from the beginning... UGGGHHHh!!!

Chapter 20 Appolo's Gauntlet. I'm fighting the furies. One of them with a large bird above her stops in the same place and repeats the same irritating laugh over and over "AH HA HA HAAA!!!!!!" I've attacked her with variation I have, reached combo level in the upper 300's and NOTHING!!!!! I tried restarting from the last checkpoint and almost immediately get back to the same point !!!! Really?!

If it was any other game I would chuck it and resell, but I am a sucker because I really enjoy the game........ Hope no one else experiences this mess. I tried looking it up on line and I couldn't find the problem listed anywhere. Maybe I'm the only lucky person to have this happen?

That's terrible. Closest I've had happen is getting a Game Over after defeating a boss in Order of Ecclesia, cause I hadn't found all the villagers. That pissed me off soooo much.

Hope you get it figured out.

Hope it's just a minor glitch. I encountered one in Tomb Raider. At one point Lara was running around with her hands up,like she was blocking flames or something. Would not stop until we cleared the level and hit a campsite. Thanks for letting us know about this one. I know I will get Ascension so I will be looking for it if it's a universal glitch

That sucks ass. My first ps3 died when the GOW Collection was inside of it. At least you don't have to deal with that major of a glitch. I realize it probably wasn't that game's fault, but will always associate it with that lol. I ended up ripping my ps3 apart to get that game out. It was a horrific affair full of rage and despair. Kratos would have been so proud! lol

Perhaps they will release a patch for it soon.

That sucks! Did it still happen the second time around? Or did you trade it in because of frustration?

retried the scene 3 times with the same result. I started a 2nd playthrough but quit because I was still mad..... I've considered selling it, but I'm hanging on for now until I get back in the mood.

Maybe you need to update your system? I dunno...

I thought I had the lastest, but thanks I'll check it out. It couldn't hurt.

Nice grab. Too bad to hear about the glitch. hopefully they'll fix that eventually.

Too bad I won't be getting around to this game anytime soon though, PSN Pass kills this game's chances in owning it. I'll go find the GoW five pack used instead.

It looks fun though I wish Kratos could have more weapon variety akin to the other games. Yeah, you can give different elemental properties to the blades of chaos but still....

I'm really sorry your experiencing this glitch. For the most part the GOW games have been very polished and bug free. (At least 1 & 2. I haven't played GOW 3)

I haven't had any trouble before. Guess I'm a freak lol. Weapon variety would be nice though. At first, before I played I thought it wouldn't matter since the blades were my favorite weapon. It does matter.

I have run across the same glitch. It has given me a headache and caused me to yell and curse. At the tv screen. Shame, great series, buggy game.
