God of War: HELP! I'm stuck...

[Iron_Chef]

If the rest of the game wasn't so damn cool, I'd never be so persistent (I almost gave up on Darkwatch until I figured out the controls and I still ended up dying 183 times, LOL, though a great number of these were in three specific areas). I hate to start a game and not beat it if it looks like something I'm interested in. GoW looks great, and can be a lot of fun. But the instant death traps suck. What finally broke the camel's back for me was their being no save or restart in Hades' Challenge. I can't go very long without dying one way or another, LOL. Kratos was cool and the blades of chaos were awesome, as were the bosses, I'll agree. That hydra gave me the willies, though I never would have figured out how to beat it (never noticed those spikes) if my buddy hadn't played that part before and pointed them out...

One more thing, I got so freakin' upset playing GoW that I made myself physically sick. I can't flip out like that during cold season or I lower my immune system from the stress and end up in bed nursing a cold, LOL. One more reason to hate GoW.

Please spoil the rest of the game and the ending for me as I'm never going to beat it on my own now.

I enlisted the ultimate cheat: a 22 year old video gaming buddy of mine who made me look like a grade-A moron by comparison. Of course, I was telling him where to go and what to do, so I gotta take credit for trailblazing the way for him to beat that crap I was talking about. All in one try! @#$%! LOL

Unfortunately, I thought I at a point where I could succeed on my own again, but discovered to my unending horror that of course the game was not done with instant death traps. This time, they want me to balance beam my way across a high ceiling (fall or die) while spinning saw blades and axes on wooden poles swing by over and over, forcing me to jump or be knocked off to my death. I am utterly incapable of succeeding at this task!!! LOL, I hate this game. All I wanna do is fight monsters and beat it, but NOOOOOO........

I have now quit God of War forever and moved on to Resident Evil 4, where I have died 18 times so far, but it jumps for me (press A to perfectly jump over). Of course, I hate riddles and puzzles to pieces, but at least I can rely on the internet to supply the answers, unlike me having to rely on my own woeful abilities to jump or reason. I play RE to kill zombies, not solve puzzles, LOL. So far, RE4 has precious little of that and I even managed to kill the first Boss (Del Lago) on the first try. Unfortunately, after El Gigante, I have zero ammo, zero healing, and zeo grenades left to fight the devil dogs waiting on my way back to the chuyrch, hahahaha, so now I'm doomed in that game too! @#$%!

34 hours into RE4 and haved died 70 times so far, but having great fun. Had some tough times but this game has precious few instant death traps by comparison to GoW; I can eventually win a tough fight even if it takes me hours, LOL. I just wish there was a way to skip the cut scenes... maybe there is, but I can't figure it out.

Looks like I'll beat RE4 at least. With Darkwatch, 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Meatloaf was right!

I beat RE4 in 40 hours and only died 93 times, LOL. This was a much better RE than any previous (no ink ribbons to save game on typewriter!) and IMO, is far superior to GoW... and not just because I can beat it.
