I would think Kratos might accidentally kill her if she stepped in the way like his own benefactor.

-Edit- or decides to try a seductive tactic that backfires horribly for her.

Oh I never said she wasn't horrible, I just figured she wasn't much of a fighter, so when Kratos turns up she goes down the prostitute route to save her own life, which is what I think is the case here. And I highly doubt Kratos would just kill her for kicks; he kills because he's angry/threatened by the things he kills. If something or someone is no threat he doesn't need to kill.

He's out to kill those who appose him, if Aphro is offering him sex in exchange for sparing her, he'll do it.

Well they have this whole Zeus is Olympus thing going on, so I totally see Kratos being like "Eh I'll spare you from a horrible death since it won't matter anyway."

Been playing a few hours so far. I think I just killed Gaia, though I suspect she may turn up again later. This game rocks.

Oh and without doubt the best opening level I have ever played. That whole thing was fucking stunning.

Coming from the same guy who said the ending of Mass Effect 2 was full of "random and unearned" deaths I give you his reasoning as to why GoW3 is too long and boring.

Now I've only read the first paragraph, but that was enough to stop me from reading the rest of his article. If he is indeed serious, then Anthony Burch should stop giving his opinion about games.


In unrelated news, GoW3 is awesome, and the fight against Poseidon at the beginning of the game is one of the most Epic things I've seen. Especially the ending.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Bah, if I want to hear somebody complain about the game, I'd wait for the Yahtzee review.

I think the thing I like most about the game so far, besides the awesome Poseiden fight, each god you kill unleashes some new horror upon the world, slowly transforming everything into an apocalyptic wasteland.

I would like to run across a few more Titans though, haven't seen any of them in a while, so the whole "war" doesn't seem to be happening. Mainly I'd like to kill Atlas. That would be great.

EDIT; Forget everthing I just said, I just fought and killed motherfuckin' Cronos!! Holy shit I can't believe that just happened!!

.

Actually...it was Athena that cursed Medusa because she was raped in her temple by Posiden.

[TDK]

The story my latin teacher told me was that medusa bragged about her beautiful hair and stuff so Aphrodite cursed her.

So there's three different variations for you.


On topic, I want GoW III so fucking much but I don't have a ps3. = (

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

According to wiki, Flare is right. On there it mentions a few different versions of the same story, but there's absolutely no mention of Aphrodite anywhere. So yeah.


In other news, FUCK satyrs! You cheap ninja goat bastards!

I know what you mean. The only problem I had when I played through on normal was when you re-visit the 3 kings/judges in Hades. Right when you get there you have to fight a flaming cerberus that spits out kamikaze hounds non-stop, and up to two satyrs, depending on what you do. (Pro tip, don't kill the first satyr until you've ripped off the second cerberus head).

But yeah, satyrs have always been the hardest enemy in the GoW games. I love the grab kill though once you've weakened one enough. Mmm mmm mmm, satyr kebab.

Also, I was a moron on my first playthrough and barely looked at the text hints, thus missing out on the whole "use Helios' head when there's gold dust around" and therefore missing out on a bunch of hidden chests.

Main problem I had with them was during their first encounter, during Heras garden section when 2 of them attack you. I died like 5 times on that bit and I couldn't work out why. Eventually resorted to lightning chain spam, seems to be the best way to deal with them if you can launch them into the air. Didn't have as much of a problem with the Cerb/Satyr fight though, mainly because I just threw everything at the Cerb first and by the time he was dead the Sats were half dead anyway.

Yeah, I was at least 1 gorgon eye short and about 8k red orbs missing so I couldn't upgrade everything. Must've missed quite a few of those chests somewhere. It seems they're easily missed. I also missed about 4 godly possessions somewhere, but no idea which ones.
