Getting angry as hell at old God of War 1st boss.

[Kevin Hamilton]

I picked up the God of War Origins remastered for PS3 last week. Love the series and this looks to be more of the same, but stuck on the first damn boss cuz it goes to a quick time even where you have to rotate the left analog stick to pull the beastie down toward you. Trouble is, the controller doesn't register the move no matter what speed I rotate the stick at and eventually the thing kills me. Granted these are 3rd party ps3 controls so maybe that's part of the issue, but it is MADDENING to be losing to a 1st level boss not because of any challenge, not even because you don't know what to do, but because of a game mechanic that doesn't seem to be registering your controller input.

Rotate it fast? Nothing. Slow? Nothing. Try it with a different control? Nothing.

So here's my cursing at a f***ing video game that just will not recognize the control input on the first boss. It'd be one thing if it was a difficult battle or hard to figure out..but this? It gets me damned infuriated.

After a dozen or so times, it makes me not even want to play the thing.

Eh, I'm just venting but holy shit it makes me blood boilingly angry for a game mechanic seemingly not work and ruin the entire experience.

Have you tried doing a barrel roll?

I'd guess the issue is with the controller. It usually works okay.
