God of War Collection Review


Recommended Posts

Trying to get my parents to get the Gamestop bundle so I get this free with my Slim.

Probably not happen though as there's more chance of them getting a PS3 at Best Buy/Walmart than having to drive around the few smaller Gamestops in the area. I doubt they're getting up at 8am Friday anyway, they arrive the Thursday night.

Would rather they just get a Slim with some free content on Black Friday than get nothing at all :p (as in a vanilla PS3 at $299) I have no idea how crazy you Americans go on Black Friday, well I do a bit, but I dunno if I should expect Slims selling out everywhere just due to the hype surrounding Black Friday and Americans willingness to throw money about for this day.

I'll probably try get Best Buy bundle, LBP GOTY edition would be nice for the DLC, and I obviously don't have Ratchet. Wallmart Bundle isn't much use, I have inFamous/Batman and I've seen The Dark Knight. Some resale value I guess, but I'd rather just get some new games I don't have.

Just so you guys know, my TV shows this playing @ 1080p.

Only 3 more trophies for double-plat.

After having beaten both, I agree w/ DM that GoW2 is the better overall game, combat is better, set pieces and scope are flat-out amazing, but GoW has the better story due to the background on Kratos and the "twist" at the end of GoW2 is hinted at during GoW, so it wasn't that much of a twist.

Also noticed something, there seems to be some influences especially on platforming puzzles, on Uncharted. Which is interesting to me, because most everything else (betrayal story, combat and platforming mechanics, box puzzles) that seems to be influenced by Soul Reaver, which was written and directed by the director of Uncharted.

Yeah it was confirmed on the video interview on the blog it actually runs at 1080p.

Finished GoW, now only need the speed run for Platinum :D Damn challenge of the Gods ****ed me off, specially the last 3. Tip for anyone playing CotG. L1+X works great in Challenge #10.

@ soniq: Did you finish the speed run in the first one? How long it took you?

Started the speedrun last night, I'm about 45 minutes in, and about to save the Oracle. I'm a bit slow at it, from other speedruns I've read about, people have finished the game in under 3 hours. I'm using the Tycoonius costume, gives you 2x damage and 4x experience, so I'm rediculously overpowered, making battles shorter/faster/easier.

I only need that, and Challenge of the Titans for double plat.

For the Eye Sore trophy (cyclops eyes), play the first Challenge of the Titans, save, exit to challege selection, then replay it. You can't get all 20 during playthrough.

Most of the Challenge of the Gods wasn't terrible, it's just that you can't save and exit. I kept having to pause and take breaks during #10.

Cool, using Tycoonius. Easy to max the blades. I was around that time when I was saving the Oracle too.

This is so overpowered it's funny. I got the army of Hades, and had enough orbs left over from maxing everything else, that I maxed that out immediately, and still had 7,777 orbs left over, and I haven't even been to the Muse Keys room yet.

Oh, and I'm at 2:49:45, too.

I finished it at 3:10. I died a few times because I thought I was invincible lol. Got all Gorgon Eyes but not the Feathers, I missed 3 but I wasn't looking for all. I rarely used magic.

Now to play God of War 2. :)

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
    • AT&T has been spying on US citizens with the NSA for decades.. they just know how to keep it more under wraps.. the evil level is still there.
