I decided to start out on Titan difficulty from the beginning for the challenge and the trophy but man is it testing my patience and resolve.  I have never had such repeated difficulty in a game before.  There have been some bosses where I felt like I was going to toss my controller and then you have the game constantly laughing at you and offering Easy Mode.   
 
It isn't too bad now that I have a couple health upgrades but when I had the minimal bar I was dying constantly.  I think I missed a couple eyes early on because I had 2 Magic upgrades and an Item upgrade before I completed my first set of Gorgon Eyes.

Yea when I fought Poseidon in Titan difficulty  it was rough.  Probably took me over an hour to beat him all the way through. After that though I haven't been doing too bad though. I started using "evade" a lot more and that has helped a great deal. I usually don't even worry about trying to block attacks most of the time.

This was actually somethign I was curious about; I haven't gotten the game yet, but I'm a god of war vet. (played through both games on their highest difficulties) and tend to start games on the hardest difficulty. ,o you guys think it's worth starting on Titan, or does it make more sense to start on a lower difficulty level, given how much GOW I've played?

i would just play it on normal just for the reason of being able to play through it and pay more attention to the story parts.  Then I would go for the challenge and up it to titan.  But hey what ever you like, BUT I wouldn't be surprised if you would end up getting more trophy points playing it through normal just for the fact that you wouldn't be passing by the skin of your teeth every time.

The fighting between bosses isn't too bad, I have only been stuck on a handful of spots but when I get stuck I am stuck for a while. 
 
I will post the spots in a spoiler just in case. 
 

Not really that studied on God of War, but I would never start a game, on my first playthrough, with the highest difficulty activated. There exists a particularly masochistic group of gamers that chooses to play through games on their hardest settings from the outset, but a game always seems to lose some of its magic on the highest difficulty. In Call of Duty, for instance, you see the seams in the programming much more easily, and it comes down to using only the most useful, repetitive tactics ad nauseum.

The Cerberus that spews the kamikaze dogs and has two satyr spawns after dropping back to Hades on Titan made me rage more than any other part of the game.

I would have to say it was frustrating, but also satisfying playing this game on Titan mode.  After beating the game you have a sense of accomplishment.  In my honest opinion the hardest part of the game would have to be the 3 Judges II.  Fighting the Hades Cerberus Breeder, the exploding Feral Hounds and Satyrs combined made me want to stop playing.  It was frustrating how the Feral Hounds kept exploding while your throwing them back at the Breeder and then just when you thought you were getting somewhere here comes the damn Satyrs.  It took me over 1.5 hours to get through this part.  Anyone that plays Titan on this stage be WARNED.  I digress, this was an awesome experience though.  Stick with Titan mode.  

I just realised I have been stuck on the last room in laybrynth on Titan for the past 6 hours. 

Mmm well I'm playing through on titan; just got to the 3 Judges and I dread what I shall soon face, given what I have heard about the coming sections.

Been playing on Titan and just got the boots. Was offered easy mode 2-3 times so it hasn't been too bad. Health/magic chests seem spaced out properly for Titan mode. Grab a chest, nearly die on a section, and boom there's another chest. You'd prolly just run by a a few chests on easier modes cuz you wouldn't need em.

Most of my deaths came via the enviroment. Isometric viewpoint and awkward jumping sections do not mix. Throw in the unresponsive double-jump and you have some fairly irritating game design. Though, these are few and far between. Just finished it a few minutes ago; probably one of my favourite gaming experiences.

I'm playing on Titan currently and it's alright. Nothing too hard yet. You should have played on Normal the first time just for the experience and then replayed on the higher difficulty.

For that phase of the fight I used the cestus when in close.  When he leaps in the air rush under him and either jump and hit him or wait for him to come down.  When he charges his punch parry it and send it back at him, that will stop his combo and that big finisher.  Basically try to learn his patterns and parry a lot.  When I was able to get shots in on him I stuck to triangle attacks to do the most damage in the fewest hits.  When he vanishes and re-appears, again get close to him get a couple shots and be ready to parry his punches.  It took me several tries but once you start to recognize his attack patterns and the way he telegraphs each attack it isn't too bad.
