Phantom Spaceman Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I requested today and tomorrow off. I can only play when my daugter's are asleep so that wont be until later this evening. Got the UE last night, had it preordered from my local gamestop. The wife and I are stoked gonna enjoy a couple glasses of absinthe and play some GoW!

SimplySchizo Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 its amazing. so far its all i expected. im at the part where Kratos realizes Pandora's Box lays inside the flame of Olympus . Though its visually stunning, its hard for me to compare it to the likes of uncharted2. two competely different color palettes. they both seem to be on par with one another. EXCEPT for the dynamic shadows that gow3 holds. i absolutely love the lighting in gow3. best lighting to date since those of the splinter cell games. on a different note, anyone else reserve it here at GameStop and have not gotten their Phantom of Chaos skin code emailed? It was supposed to be sent out on rls day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon had a similar deal with a code, not sure if it was the Phantom Of Chaos one or another one, and it did not work when I entered it. :o So you are ahead of me I think, I literally just got done with the part that was actually the demo. And I hear you about hard to compare, I personally like Uncharted 2 visuals better just from a stylistic approach, but they are definitely on par. I do agree about the lighting though as well, absolutely brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massiveterra Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 For some reason I keep hitting R2 by accident when opening chests. Anyone else doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm, No. :laugh: I believe I did keep telling you about the Real Triggers man, best $5 I have ever spent. Literally though for the cost I could not be happier, makes pseudo triggers for the DualShock controller, no mistaking what is what. Gamestop also claims to have them now, although they did not when I got them. It says the store by you has them, do yourself a favor and pick them up on the way home from work tomorrow. They truly do make a difference, and could not be easier to snap on and off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How to Use Your Apollo in-game skin Code: Step 1: Go to http://www.godofwar.com/skins/ Step 2: Enter the code found above Step 3: Enter your PSN ID and Password. By the way, I know this is probably unlikely - but does anyone have a Dominus skin to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GR3EN_CHRONIC Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Thanks, but that is the way I tried and it did not work. :iiam: they email you the code to enter on PSN when it becomes available (most likely tomorrow's PSN store update) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted March 17, 2010 Veteran Share Posted March 17, 2010 they email you the code to enter on PSN when it becomes available (most likely tomorrow's PSN store update) Right I saw that, but I cannot even get past the first website part to tell them to email me a code, it says I have an invalid code. Basically the code in this email does not work for me when I go to that site and register it. Maybe it will work on Thursday when they update the PSN?

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted March 17, 2010 Veteran Share Posted March 17, 2010 EDIT - Nevermind, I just tried it again this morning and now it works, I guess I was entering it to early. Thanks for the help all. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore I keep mashing the magic button to open chests...ooof... :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lingwo Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Mine was just despatched. Will be here tomorrow. Now my dilemma is... do i stop FFXIII and go through GoW III in a couple of evenings or do i put it on the shelf with Yakuza to collect dust till i finish FFXIII?
