If you think this one is bad wait until God of War 2's Titan Mode and the segment where you need to protect the dude (that you then kill after you successfully protect him)

I'm actually nearly there. I've been extremely thorough and learned the barbarian hammer and grab spam dance so it's not too bad, although the first few hours were some of the hardest challenges I've had to do in a video game

That shit filtered me for 10 years. The final gauntlet before Clotho is almost as hard. You really need to go into them with maxed out resources if you want to stand a chance.

God of War 2 is one of the hardest yet rewarding games I've ever played. Learning its weird intricacies lets you dance with waves of opposition instead of bashing against them until you brute force your way through

these games were gay. nothing is lamer than when you can't even provide an original setting for your game and have to extrapolate classical mythology as a substitute for personality. i'd levy the same criticism against shit like age of empires or WW2 shooters. the problem here is that even if you take the gameplay on its own merits, it's still shit, because it basically boils down to style-over-substance masher trash with endless setpiece battles. darksiders 1 was the only game that ever got this genre right, and only because it borrowed heavily from action-adventure games like zelda in tandem, instead of focusing purely on "press X to awesome" """gameplay""".
>inb4 you cope about how GoW is ackshually le oldschool nintendo hard real gaymur experience
no. it's a solid no. sorry, brother. the games are movieshit and you know it. there's a reason the series pivoted into a tale about a soimale and his wife's son.
