God of War Collection Review


Recommended Posts

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. :)

I think I'm closer to 4:00, but I got all feathers/eyes, did the Muse Keys room, etc., and once I knew I had it, I stopped skipping and enjoyed dishing out the asswhipping.

Check that, 3:48.

Tempted to order this from Amazon and get it delivered to my parents in Florida just now. Can get it for ?24 plus with prime shipping (I started the free trial to get my headphones from Black Friday).

Does prime work for Amazon UK? If so, keep that, definitely worth it, you can even get a lot of games with guaranteed release-day shipping for free.

soniqstylz, where did you get the 500 hit trophy? I haven't finished GoWII but I have no idea how I'm going to get 500 hit.

Same time I got the 15 fight scene trophy. At the very end of that run, spam Cronos' Rage. I got around 600 hits.

I finished the game (GoW2) and I didn't get the Boss Batch 3 trophy :(

That's been a common glitch. Only real remedy is another playthrough, most people who glitched got it on the 2nd playthrough.

BTW, Kol, start a new game+, use the urns (assuming you got at least two of them) for the gold, then completely upgrade the sword of olympus, and get to a save point. Then start the Challenge of the Titans.

*edit* actually, it shows up that you got that trophy in your collection.

Dammit :( Only that and challenge of the Titans for Platinum. Going to play a second time with all urns on :devil:

That was for what? to get the upgrade all weapons magic trophy?

got it, played it loving it. Working on the first one. I just a "getting my ass kicked trophy"... pretty funny. Game actually looks pretty decent, and the updated of the particles effects are nice too. Other then the cut scenes, game actually holds up to some of todays titles.

Definitely worth the 40 bucks.

GoW2 was platinum if it wasn't for the stupid glitch :(

Tip for Challenge 7 in GoW2. Take all skeletons except one and then take the rock thing. After that it is easy to kill the other enemies that spawn.

I wouldn't usually bump an old thread but I bought this game because of this thread after seeing the God of War 3 screenshots and I must say the GoW Collection is an absolute bargain!

I'd heard of the GoW games on the PS2 but never had a chance to play them so I'm glad they re-released them like this. As a big fan of the Prince of Persia series (apart from the disappointing new one), I found it quite similar and easy to get on with, with great gameplay and a great story. I've finished GoW now and just need to complete the Challenge of The Gods and the speedrun for the platinum! As you can't save it when doing the challenges how long did it take everyone to get through them?

I've started GoW2 now but will have to go back to GoW to get the platinum! Both are excellent games and I'm really looking forward to GoW3 now!

Don't complete CotG in #1 before you complete God of War 2... just, trust me on this. GoW 2 has a massive twist at the very end of the game which is very weirdly casually addressed in one of the cutscenes after you beat CotG, making the whole shock reveal in 2 pretty "meh". Thankfully it didn't happen to me, but I can imagine it would have ruined the epicness of the ending for GoW 2 if I did.

Hmm, ok thanks for that. I must be a fair way through GoW2 so will finish it before going back to the first one. I wish you could save your progess on the challenges but I guess that would make it easier.

You can save in Challenge of the Titans in GoW2

Finished GoW2 and the challenges a few days ago and got my first Platinum Trophy! :) Went back and did the challenge of the gods on GoW1 (man some of them are hard!) and I didn't get any cutscene? I've had a look in the treasures section and can't see anything extra that has been unlocked.

No matter, now to do the speed run on GoW1 to get my next platinum trophy! It took me just over 10 hours to complete it the first time round, gonna take some doing to do it in under 5. Bit disappointed you don't start with all your power and magic on bonus play like you do in the second one - it's gonna be harder than I thought!

    • 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.
    • >Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. The story behind that bug would be an interesting one.
