Those blades were gay.

To me it was more of a "Thank god that piece of shit is over, let's hope they don't pull any more worthless crap out of their ass," but whatever.

It didn't take me that many tries to get through it so I never got that point. Funny how different our experiances were.

Yeah, but that boss was gay, PoP2 has a broken fighting system, and four minutes into the game you have no grasp on how to fight enemies properly. I went back in and tried it after puting a few hours on the game to see if it was more managable and she never hit me. Not even once.

I like how someone who dies fighting a final boss sucks but someone who dies fighting someone in the first five minutes of the game doesn't.

I had no problems getting a grasp on fighting that boss in the first five minutes. You must suck too.

By the time you fight a final boss you should have mastered the fighting techniques of a game, and if the boss throws nothing new at you (which Ares didn't) you should be able to hold your own.

When a game with a broken fighting system throws a boss with a lot of health, and attacks which are difficult to block at you in the first five minutes before you have any idea how to play it makes sense some people would have problems with it. I know like five people in real life that couldn't beat the boat chick first try, but went through the rest of the game without must trouble.

Anyway, stop trying to connect PoP2 with my gaming ability. That's like saying someone is a bad driver becuase their car won't start. PoP2 is a shitty, broken game, and not being able to do well with it's fighting means nothing. GoW on the other hand has one of the best combat systems from any action game this generation, and the final boss throws nothing new at you in terms of combat.

Whatever you have to tell yourself. You really need to not let it get your panties in a bunch.

Before the Ares fight, there were no other enemies in the game who had unblockable combo style attacks with that kind of range (+ Kratos' limited movement during the fight) ,no other tug-of-war style matches, in other fights you had magic at your disposal, and while the final sword controlled similar to the Artemis Blade it still sucked. And while a lot of times I had Ares on the ropes, it would only take a couple of quick hits on his part to tip the scale in his favor and eventually win the battle.I think when I finally beat him, I had somewhat of a lucky streak of him rarely busting out the spine attack which gave me the edge.

I guess if I had 10000 hours in Halo 2, I wouldnt suck as a gamer, but some of us dont have that luxury so I have to draw upon other past gaming feats for skill. If you want to point fingers and compare E-penis' than create a thread for it, and well see who has dominated the worst of the worst game wise, across systems.

The combat is solid, sure, but it's hardly "one of the best." The combat is pretty rudimentary and shallow.

Uh huh.

It didn't take me that many tries, it was just stupid. When I kicked a box across the deck of a ship in the first level I felt the exact same way and that only took me a couple tries. Retarded areas are retarded areas, it doesn't matter how easy or hard they are.

So where does that figure into GoW, since they took away a lot of your abilities and for the first time placed you up against someone that could counterattack without repercussion?

exactly.
