+1. Personally, I find it very disturbing when one does so.

Of course intolerant Inquisitors think of the talking to your self as some form of chaos whisper.

Last time I did that section I was wearing the Ares Armour, which basically means you take about 10% damage from anything, so you can mostly ignore healing chests.

Ah yes, the spinny blade wall. SO MUCH ANGER!

Hey, remember those things with the staffs that flip you over and do all those annoying spinning attacks? Don't remember what they're called, but those were maddening to fight, especially in Hades when they're the Flaming Black Ridiculously Tough kind.

Satyrs. Probably the hardest enemy to face in the game. Thankfully a fully upgraded Blades of Chaos gives you an attack where you press basic attack once, then press it again and hold it and he does a big sweep attack that sends them flying - best way to take care of Satyrs.

In GOWII they're easier as you can grab them straight away and keep doing that until you wear down their health (and they can't hit you while you're doing that to them).

The acrobatics weren't as hard as Sands of Time, the combat was more forgiving than Warrior Within, you could speedkill most of the enemies in the game, making things far easier. The only ragequit enducing moments were the damned chariot sections.

Sweet jesus, I hated those stupid chariot moments. I could never get through those without constant dying and repeated use of sand...and having to listen to the prince going "Wait, wait, wait, that's not how it went..."

The challenges absolutely suck. I spent like 4 hours trying to get through all of the ones from the first game...and I never did finish that last one. I think I actually flipped the bird at the screen when I saw that GoW II had its own Challenge mode.

Oh the Satyrs sucked so much balls in that game. Minotaurs were a pain too, if they were theblue ones with the hammer. fething bull.

My friend did the last one using the thing I said about Satyrs - fully upgraded Blades of Chaos give you a new attack that makes short work of Satyrs and it also works really well against the puppy Cerberus'. Of course, things would be easier if you could just Poseidon's Rage them into oblivion.

Favela level of MW2 on Veteran.

My neighbors commented they hadn't heard me swear so much since the last Modern Warfare and the "No Fighting in the War Room" mission on Veteran(which I STILL haven't beaten to this day.)

Playing that on normal was hard enough. Sweet Jesus, what were Infinity Ward thinking? Was it intended to be some kind of elaborate trolling?

Also, playing Cortana on Halo 3, Legendary difficulty. The Ranged Flood forms were everywhere and it drove me nuts. I was already yelling about five minutes into the level.
