Twigg groans because it's easier?

Weird, isn't it.

It was supposed to be a thanks but I was posting from my phone. I fixed it.

Finally finished the game. The Gauntlet of Archimedes was a real bitch lol, can only imagine that shit on hard as I was playing on normal.

[Twigg4075]

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to that.

My only issue with the game so far is that the audio seems to be compressed. It's not as loud, crisp and clear as my other PS3 games. Anyone else?

From the PS Blog earlier today:

Unfortunately, the time necessary to diagnose and explore audio issues cited by many of our fans during their play experiences made a solution in time for inclusion in the 1.03 update unfeasible. Despite this, we are still very aware of these reports, we continue to monitor user experiences in this regard, and we are working as quickly as possible to find a fix. We understand that this issue is of particular frustration for many of you in the community; your patience is greatly appreciated!

This is just the beginning of post-launch support for God of War: Ascension. As stated previously, we have an influx of DLC in the weeks ahead to support your strategic play-style, and an unannounced 4th weapon class. We’re also exploring other new enhancements we can’t disclose just yet, however you can try asking The Oracle (aka @SonySantaMonica) – you never know.

The developer support on the PlayStation Blog is second to none. If only Sony's support was as good, or even remotely good, on Twitter.

Man, this game looks so damn good. I love all the new powers too. Just unlocked the fourth, and I assume final one. They are all bad ass. I'm still only on chapter 11.

The puzzles in this game are super creative. I'm loving all of the powers as well. I just hit chapter 21 and I have everything fully leveled except for the Blades of Chaos which need one more upgrade (25k orbs).

The Oath of Orkos stone is so bad ass.

Just finished it. It took me damn near exactly 11 hours. Not too shabby. I went back and cleaned up a few trophies using chapter select. The only trophies I don't have are the one for beating it on Hard and the plat.

For those that were/are apprehensive thinking that Sony Santana Monica skimped on the campaign to focus on the new multiplayer, don't be. I was one of those people and was happily surprised to see that not only was the game as long or longer than the other games in the franchise but it also has plenty of memorable moments.
