@nomither6 yeah I’ve platinum’d them all (bar 3 of course as I’m still to play it), so I’ve had to play all bar the original on hard iirc (think there may have been a speed run on the original instead).
Never really enjoyed the original games, but I never have with those types of games. The 2018 reboot I thought was fantastic though and ticked all the boxes for me. Don't see there being any problems with people liking them though or any shocks in preferring them over the reboot, it would be pretty boring if we all enjoyed the same things. 🤷♂️

@colonelkilgore Could it be exclusive to some retailer in the UK? Push Square links to GAME. What about PS Direct?
Also: Jotnar edition sold out in a matter of minutes over here, better act fast if you're looking for that one.
@Voltan Welcome to my world! After getting the super expensive edition of Elden Ring I think I'm done in getting stuff like that for now. I was quite lucky in that my Amazon order got cancelled but managed to get one from Simply Games.
Now the question is will you spend almost 400 hours playing the game to get your moneys worth? 😂 Jokes aside, that is not the reason I've been playing the game for so long, I just can't stop playing it!

@JohnnyShoulder could be wrong (in i fact probably am) but this is the first time that I'm aware of big-time scalping on games (It's obviously been going on with consoles for 20+ years).
So after thoroughly enjoying God of War 2018 at release, I kinda regretted having never played any of the previous entries. Sure, I knew they were more character-action than action-adventure and that they had a bit of a reputation (as do most character-action games) for being a bit button-bashy… but GoW hit me hard.
Around two years later, and I noticed that a mate on my friends list had recently plat’d God of War 3: Remastered. It piqued some interest for sure but I was a bit wary of simply jumping in to the Greek saga at its conclusion without the context of having experienced the games that came before… and my PS2 was a distant memory. Can’t even remember what I did with it in all honesty.
A couple of months later and I noticed a second-hand copy of God of War Collection: Volume 2 on PS3 at my local CEX. I’d recently dusted off the PS3 to play Demons Souls and even though I couldn’t see a copy of Volume 1, I picked it up without too much thought. That evening I got home and tracked down a copy of God of War Collection: Volume 1 on eBay and put the order through. I also ordered God of War: Ascension and God of War 3: Remastered while I was at it. I figured that if I could fit one into my already crowded schedule every now and then, that I might have them all finished and plat’d in time to play the eventual sequel to God of War 2018 (of course now known as God of War: Ragnarok).
Well, that was around July 2020… and I just popped the plat on God of War 3: Remastered, which was the last remaining game set in the Greek era that I had left to play. Just checked through my trophy list and can see that I finished God of War on 26/08/2020 and God of War: Chains of Olympus on 16/09/2020. I joined Push Square in Dec 2020, found this thread pretty early on and obviously took the opportunity to add my progress and intentions to see the series through. Then I finished God of War: Ghost of Sparta on 20/04/2021, God of War 2 on 29/04/2021, God of War: Ascension on 03/05/2022 and obviously GoW3 today. It’s been a helluva ride… and though I always kinda felt like-warm when considering making a start on any of them (there’s a lot of competition in my backlog), I always ended up not only really enjoying them… but also appreciating the layers to the combat that are easily forgotten (or never even needed to be peeled back if not going for the plat).
GoW 3 in particular was a very… very good game. It’s extremely difficult to end a successful entertainment series in a satisfying manner, as proven by almost every ‘great’ trilogy of film and gaming… but they definitely achieved it here that’s for sure.
I’m gonna enjoy a nice break from the character and his world now… but I have God of War: Ragnarok pre-ordered (only the Collectors Edition sadly, I missed out on the Jotnar 😔)… and I’ve also made sure that I have a week off from work to just drink that **** in come November. Can’t wait.
@colonelkilgore It’s been quite a journey for you. Having played all the GoW games within a two year period gives you quite the perspective. Most of us played them more gradually over the years on the previous consoles, but I’m glad you really ended on a high. But I believe Ragnarok is going to blow away all previous entries in the series.
