Do you think he’d be disappointed in the person he becomes?
>>
>>722230920
That's not him in those sequels. Anything beyond the 1st game isn't cannon
>>
>>722230920
Man I'd give anything to a real sequel to God of War 3, now that game was pure kino.
>>
>>722230920
...... yeah
But he was never the besr guy to begin with
We knew exactly how he was 2 hours into his initial adventure
>>
>>722234761
Greek tragedy, yo
Damn shame
Compelling as fuck, but a tragedy no matter how you look at it
>>
>>722230920
He became a better man thoughever
>>
>>722234819
But we never got the inbetween
We were robbed of his journey afterwards
Just from here to there.....
>>
>>722230920
The guy murdered his own wife and daughter and his skin is permanently coated in their ashes and blood to remind him that he did it. He's already disappointed in what he is.
>>
>>722234908

Just poof and now he's here

I'm sorry. I just can't play Ragnorak, amd i never will

>>722235014
He was his own character, but you robbed him of it
>>
>>722235050
Cause what, YOU felt guilty? YOU felt bad?
You didn't think of Kratos
>>
>>722230920
What, a man with a loving wife, and a son who he raises with love and affection, the complete opposite of the torture he experienced growing up?

Did you faggots even play OG God of War? Kratos is fucking miserable every step of the way.
>>
>>722230920
No, he had already achieved his endless vengeance, it didn't stop the nightmares.
It didn't make him whole.
His rage subsided and he was left with nothing.
He'd probably be encouraged that after all he suffered he was able to find some peace with a new family in a distant land.
>>
>>722235102
You just felt about yourselves
You only thought about yourself
>>
>>722234496
man I miss when we didn't have movie games
og GoW was so over the top, and perfectly in sync with the over the top gameplay where you're just going through hordes of enemies, made sense with the character and all, and it never took itself too seriously
now games are ashamed of being videogames, they want to seem mature and deep, and mostly directed by failed cinema directors, so you have shit gameplay, shit characters, shit story under the guise of being 2deep4u

I'd say GoW 2 was the best of the original trilogy. 3 had better graphics (obviously) but felt kinda disappointing otherwise after 2. 2 was a clear improvement on 1 though.

>>722230920
>does every dirty and shi work for you
>all he wants is to have the gods erase his most painful memories of killing his own wife and daughter, not even reviving them or for bullshit powers. Just delete some memories.

Why are greek gods such assholes?

>>
Reminder that people are trying to rewrite history:
1. Kratos was a well written character even in the original trilogy
2. Everything he did in the greece saga, he owns it. It was not some mistake or childish behaviour. He revolted against the god because he saw how they work. They treat humans as insignificant pawns. Why would you care about morality when the gods themselves are controlling every single aspect of who gets to live or dies?
>>
>>722236105
Up the hoop and everything inbetween
Motherfucker was thourough
>>
>>722236105
He was the true rebel.
Rebel against authority.
Rebel against gods.
Rebel against conditioning.
Rebel against morality.
>>
>>722236148
Exactly
There were no good guys in that saga
They were all users and abusers, even Kratos himself
>>
>>722230920
The very first thing anyone sees him doing is trying to kill himself

This game perfectly exemplifies the differences in social culture between Gen X and Gen Y. Gen X kratos was an edgy, unrepentant, nihilistic killing machine, perfect reflection to what Gen Xers considered cool. Now Gen Y on the other hand (Millennials), who love subverting expectations, made kratos into a fat, wholesome, overly emotional man baby, this deeply resonates with millennials because of they're all man children who refused to grow up. It's actually very interesting and you can see it in other older media that was taken over by millennials.

One day your king of the world, the next thing you know… you’re in front of a courthouse dancing on top of a car… trying to figure out what the fuck happened to you.

That's why I think people should stop asking for reboots and remakes of their favorite videogames.

A large group of people that are not reproducing.

What a bad way to go out dude.

"Remember us. As simple an order as a king can give. Remember why we died. He did not wish tribute, nor song, nor monuments, nor poems of war and valor. His wish was simple: 'Remember us,' he said to me. That was his hope, should any free soul come across that place, in all the countless centuries yet to be. May all our voices whisper to you from the ageless stones: 'Go tell the Spartans, passerby, that here by Spartan law, we lie'".

Kratos is supposed to be a Spartan.

>Atreus, my wife's son.....monogamy is an outdated, patriarchal practice that must be neglected and tossed into the dustbin of history alongside the nuclear family unit and Greece after my genocidal rampages. If your partner doesn't feel satisfied emotionally and sexually, you should encourage them to form bonds with other folks. Better men do not put chains on their partners. Better men practice ethical non-monogamy.

>>722239571
>That's not why he tried to kill himself
It partly is. Kratos felt no relief from killing Zeus, which meant he had little to live for, but he also purposely released hope to humanity instead of giving it to Athena. The way Kratos talks after Zeus' death shows that he has a level of remorse. He even says that Pandora died for nothing because of his need for vengeance. A certain sense of wanting redemption has been part of his character since 1
>>
>>722238687
Yeah time travel crap tends to do that to stories, but storywise 1 is probably the best anyway, better than 3 too. But story was never the most important thing in these games to me, and I preferred the environments/locales in 2 to those of 3 (and 1).

IIRC 3 also went for a more muted color palette than 1 and 2, and it had worse frame rate than 2 (and 1) which ran at an almost constant 60fp, or maybe I'm just confusing it with Ascension which had a 30fps cap.
>>
>>722230920
He'd probably be befuddled at HOW he manages to stop being a beast of vengeance, and likely unbelieving that his path somehow doesnt end with the death of all greek gods. But at his core Kratos wanted peace of mind and it couldnt come from just dying (he tried it and the few times he managed to kill himself, it only meant more torture in the afterlife), is why he lets rage and revenge consume him, and why pandora's words and attitude resonate to his human and fatherly side. I know you want to meme about modern gow, but in all honesty, kratos would be either ok with it, or simply not believe that life can go on like that, and assume it's a trick from zoooos.
>>
>>722230920
My younger self's opinion of me could only be worth so much since he lacks my experience.

I just hate how it went from this to this.
All of a sudden he is the way he is cause some time skip time walled bullshit.
Oh, now he's a big softie
Well wtf happened in between?
He got inbtween some frost giant, (bit not giant, cause other worldly chicks are always human proportion) poon?

>>
>>722240937
True, but God of War 2018 didn't really portray Kratos as a softie. Most of that comes from Ragnarok
>>
>>722238290
Fuck you i was born in 96, Why do you fags think we sporadically developed consciousness in 2010? We literally remember the entire decade of 2000-2010. Millenial games like psychonauts, kingdom hearts 1-2, sonic adventure 2, Mid 2000's Toonami were literally made for and marketed to us. Minecraft and fortnite were for people born in the 2000's.

>>722234931
>>722235113

>>722240492
So based on these actual understandings of kratos from people who clearly played the games, would rejecting the "be a better man" thing mean staying a bitter raging shell because you can never move past that initial loss and never again having a family or peace or something resembling happiness again? Very manly if so.

>>
>>722241227

I don't think he's soft in 2018. He says that Atreus has to close his heart to the suffering of his enemies, after all. He's more soft than he was in the OT, but that still doesn't make him a straight up softie. Ragnarok REALLY made him soft

>>722241138
No, you retard. Being a better man would be accepting that while he did let his rage get the better of him his cause was ultimately just and he did the right thing. The Olympians deserved what happened to them. Kratos was a victim of their pettiness and plotting since he was a child. Kratos' family were victims of the gods' pettiness and plotting. Kratos' country, and all of Greece, were victims of the gods pettiness and plotting.

Kratos, for all his anger and rage, was justified in his actions against the Olympians. The Olympians needed to be destroyed. They were petty, cruel, traitorous tyrants, who focused solely on satisfying their egos at the expense of everyone else, including other gods. The Olympians were like that long before Kratos opened Pandora's Box, which is the shitty excuse that traitorous cunt Athena provided by the way and everyone just believed blindly.

nu-Kratos is not a better man. He bottled up his anger, and decided the problem was fighting the gods just because tragic things happened after their deaths. nu-Kratos' conception of a better man is to not stand against tyranny because bad things might happen, unless absolutely forced. He didn't become a better man, he became a weaker and worse man. All the forces of evil require is for good men to do nothing. Original Kratos might have been an angry bastard who did bad things, but fundamentally he was a good man driven to madness by evil, and yet he still held onto a core of seeking justice for not just himself, but for an entire people wronged by the gods. And that Greece suffered chaos in the death of the gods' deaths was not an excuse to let the gods live, because with the gods alive Greece was just a pleasant garden with open sewer pipes and mutilated bodies hidden behind the hedges and topiary where people could pretend the tragedy was not already there among them.
>>
>>722241858
Yeah, it's pretty gay. Killing innocents were removed for story reasons, same with the rest of the game. 2018 doesn't have the bombastic opening level of the original games, and they removed that tradition just because it didn't fit with the story. That a GoW game should sacrifice gameplay for the sake of a fucking story is laughable, and story isn't an excuse to open a GoW game with Kratos cutting down a tree
>>
>>722241138
He never says "be a better man", he says some version of "we must be better" to:
>Artreus
Telling Artreus that they are both gods and they have a responsibility to be better and not be evil gods.
>Baldur
He warns Baldur that continuing down his path of revenge won't give him any peace, when Baldur doesn't heed the warning, Kratos tells him it again as more of a message to himself before snapping Baldur's neck.
>Thor
He uses another version of the line to talk Thor down (after fighting), this time it means we must be better fathers to our children who need us more than they need our enemies dead. Thor is able to finally listen to reason because he cares for his daughter more than revenge.

Finally, he doe NOT say the line to himself at the end of Vahalla. Instead he realizes that he's always been unfairly judged, and this time it's current Kratos judging his young self too harshly. He realizes that he was always more than what his enemies thought of him, then he finally realizes - not forgiveness - but the willingness to give himself a second chance.
>>
>>722241850
Ok, all the more reason not to play that bullshit
Amd now he's going to Egypt in the next phase?
It was all laid out 20 years ago. Barlog said he wanted Kratos tp go through all the popular pantheons, but they spent too much time in Greece and now, 15 ish years later Kratos is finally doing it? Wjat's he gonna do in Egypt? Fucking love them to death? Is it gonna be a VN with romance options?
This series lost ot's way. I can't support it like i used to. I got all the old games within the launch month (minus psp games cause i didnt have one) bit got the ps3 versions of most of them minus asce sion
I just can't take this series seriously anymore like i used to
Kratos is pretty much immortal, but acting like he's a 50 year old man with regrets
Since when does the fucking God of War have regrets? He's War incarnate. The living being of war. Let humans have regrets, the way they tend do. He's a fucking God

>The Olympians were like that long before Kratos opened Pandora's Box, which is the shitty excuse that traitorous cunt Athena provided by the way and everyone just believed blindly.
It is objectively true in the story that the gods were infected with the Great War's evils after Kratos opened the box. We straight up see Zeus puking it out before Kratos rearranges his face
>Original Kratos might have been an angry bastard who did bad things, but fundamentally he was a good man driven to madness by evil, and yet he still held onto a core of seeking justice for not just himself, but for an entire people wronged by the gods
Kratos didn't do it for anyone but himself. Kratos' vengence was 100% a selfish desire. When Kratos became a god, he did the same fucking shit he hated the gods for. The opening of 2 is Kratos doing the exact same shit that Ares did. Other than that I agree

Since the opening cutscene of God of War 1 when he tried to kill himself. I also think Ares and Tyr, both Gods of War, have lots of regrets: leaving Kratos and Odin alive mostly.

No. He grew up. He self improved. He became better. Gamers need to learn from his example and accept the programming

Wtf

>>722242298
No one actually played the game so they wouldn’t had known this. Baldur’s “revenge” was killing his mom because he couldn’t had felt anything and he was literally given the cure.
>>
>>722242582
Ares had no regrets
Odin was the All-God, so of course there'd be some misgivings, but Kratos is the fucking God of War. He chose it. He wished to be there, and when challenged, he fucked everyone up
>>
>>722242815
They all plotted to take away his powers, but he fucked them all up and got his powers back
Nah, there's no reason to play this series anymore
>>
>>722230920
As in the person he is in by game 2? Yeah. By game 4? No, not really. He always wanted a family, the entire reason that drove him to rage and vengeance was losing his family to Ares's treachery.
>>
>>722242943
He stopped being human when he killed Ares. He became a god, and all that comes with it. He went beyond, and then he went beyond the beyond
>>
>>722243056
He defied fate and killed the actual Fates
>>
>>722243121
He's not human anymore. He stopped being human when Ares gave him the power. And even moreso when he killled Ares
>>
>>722243320
But the rest of the Gods tried to use him for their own ends, or kill him
>>
>>722242757
>Ares had no regrets
>Odin
Ares would have to be retarded to not regret making his own literal Worst Enemy in Kratos. He must have died a very stupid god. Odin on the other hand, smart guy, but clearly never regretted anything either - which definitely led to his death. You might have a point that the most evil gods have no regrets, that's probably a theme.

>but Kratos is the fucking God of War. He chose it. He wished to be there
He did not. He wanted to wash away the guilt of killing his family. The gods pushed the position onto him to distract him from his grief, then he went kinda crazy with power and killed a lot of innocents while warring. Another mirror in Ragnarok is Kratos being asked to be the God of War, and he declines multiple times until he decides to give himself a second chance. Kratos - now - wants to be the God of War, he wanted death or forgiveness before.

I've played and completed all of the original GoWs (including the mediocre PSP games). I haven't played any of the nuGoWs but been thinking about trying them out, however this and >>722237985 this make me think that they're probably not even worth pirating.

It's okay for Kratos to chill out a bit and the sex minigames in the originals were always dumb and cringe but I don't want a game constantly lecturing me on le toxic masculinity.
>>
>>722243639
But Kratos stopped being a human and became a God
A greek god. Those turds only cared as long as people worshipped them, caise that's where their power came from Kratos fucking killed everyone. All of them. Even his own worshippers. The dude should have no powers at all
>>
>>722243723
Nothing in God of War is about "le toxic masculinity". When he says being better, he means being better than a beast that chooses murder as the first recourse. The ability to lay down arms, to choose to not fight, is the minimum bar that Kratos asks for. Everything else you've ever heard is fucking memes.
>>
>>722243723
Conquerors had all the sex. It fits perfectly in with the context

>>722242668
>No one left to worship him, to give him power, but he still has his godly powers?
The gods in GoW don't need worship to have power. The Olympians had their powers before they even defeated the Titans. It's inherent to them, and has nothing to do with belief
>>
>>722243723
On the other hand, I pretty much started the series on GoW2018, having only beaten 1 PSP game before. Now God of War is my favorite series and my most anticipated sequel/new game. I would love to play thru all the previous games, but I'm waiting for a modern collection preferably on PC.

>Since when does the fucking God of War have regrets? He's War incarnate. The living being of war. Let humans have regrets, the way they tend do. He's a fucking God
Dude, have you played any of the original games? First off, his nature is mortal. He wasn't born a god. Second off, he hates gods. Third off, it has been well established since 1 that Kratos has regrets: It's the entire crux of his story
>>

That's the thing. He some how stayed human. The power didn't affect him like it did the rest. The rest of thr Gods didn't give a shit. They couldn't care. The refused to. But for some reason, the god powers didn't affect him. He wasn't above, he just wanted vengence

When he disrupted everything and everytjing went out of whack throughout the whole Greece saga?

He wasn't as uptight as the rest of the Gods. They only cared when he disrupted thimgs. Remember when Hera fayhered everyone to view his fight with Hecules?
She invited everyone to show off hers and Hercules' power
>>
>>722245350
>When he disrupted everything and everytjing went out of whack throughout the whole Greece saga?
When was it ever alluded to that the gods needed worship to have their powers? When did any of the gods show fear of not having worshippers? Like give me some concrete examples from the games, because I remember none of that.. Zeus betrays Kratos because he's afraid Kratos will usurp him. All the other gods fight Kratos because they're on Zeus'/their own side. It has nothing to do with losing worshippers

>>722245508

So? At the start of 2 we see him do the exact same shit Ares was doing. Sure it was cool if you were a Spartan, but everyone else was shit out of luck

People stopped worshipping them
Why you think Athena was trying to use Kratos

The weather got fucked up by the gods DYING and everything going out of control. You saw this in God of War 3 when Poseidon died and immediately a tsunami wiped out half of greece.

Unironically no, Kratos hates himself. I think the idea that he could get away from it would be very enticing to his younger self.

Which people?
>Bit by bit, as the gods lost control and the weather got all fucked up
The weather got fucked up because Kratos was killing the gods. The world was flooded because Poseidon died. The sun was blocked out because Helios die. Plague was spread because Hermes died. Plants died because Hera died. It has nothing to do with belief. The power is inherent to them, like with the Titans
>>
>>722245810
He was playing the part, ut for some reason, he was still human. The power of the gods didnt affect him like the rest. They were fine abusing the people, he just gpt bored and Zeus took his powers away with the sword

Also this
>>
>>722245926
Yeah,and the people lost faith. Bit by bit,the gods started to lose their powers

That is not how anything worked. The people were in despair because the world was going to hell, but the gods had all of their powers until the moment Kratos killed them.
>>
>>722245826
>People stopped worshipping them
Nowhere in the games is it even implied that people are stopping their worship
>Why you think Athena was trying to use Kratos
Because Athena was a ghost, and since Kratos was already there, and they already had a familiar relationship, she had Kratos find the box she thought still had hope in it

>>722246017
>He was playing the part, ut for some reason, he was still human.
No, he was doing it for himself. The Gaia directly states that Kratos did it because he had turned his pain into hatred. He was sperging out, in no small part to spite the gods, but he was doing the same shit that Ares was killed for in the first place
>he just got bored and Zeus took his powers away with the sword
He wasn't bored. Endless war and Sparta was the only thing left for him. The only thing that made him different was that he legit loved Sparta, but even then he didn't give them a second thought when he indirectly caused their destruction in 3
>>
>>722246360
So that's why he looked bored on his throne. Why the gods were in spite cause he killed Ares?
He knew he didn't belong and the gods slighted him when they could. Especially Zeus
Plus the whole father/son dynamic that Zeus was afeaid of cause he sent his own father to the depths

Whatever bored looks like to you, 2 straight up tells you why he's doing it
>Why the gods were in spite cause he killed Ares?
Ares was killed because he was personally assaulting Athens while giving the middle finger to Olympus. Kratos had been and was still doing the same thing at the start of 2. Kratos had spite for the gods because they didn't remove his nightmares
>He knew he didn't belong and the gods slighted him when they could. Especially Zeus
This is true

What does that have to do with your other post? How is the aftermath of Greece relevant to what gives someone like Poseidon his power? Nowhere in the series is it stated or implied that the Olympians' power is dependent on worship

>>722247116
That's why it was such a big thing when Kratos killed Ares. And why Zeus was afraid of Kratos. None dared to killanother till he came along. He did what they all refused to do. Shit was taboo, even for them

I think one of the writers for 3 said that it was because she was the only Olympian to die by a selfless sacrifice, so she somehow transcended, but 3 only gives the excuse that "death can not hold those with purpose" and then the story quickly moved along so you wouldn't ask questions

>>722247730
We can only assume the survivors eventually just went on with their lives. Although i kinda hate that, cause the gods were the only ones that kept the balance

You said that gods only die because people stop believing in them. I said that that isn't true in the God of War universe. Then you suddenly started talking about the aftermath of 3's ending and how Kratos never went back there. Let me state this as clearly as I can: The Olympians in God of War DO NOT require worship to exist or have power. Nowhere has that been stated or implied. The gods, like the Titans before them, were born as powerful beings and they had that power because people worshipped them as a pantheon
>>
>>722247840
>What about the rest of the Titans?
Hard to say. It would be easiest to assume that they simply all died in the assault on Olympus, but that Titans like Atlas are still holding up the world (I don't think Atlas was even transported forward in time like the rest)

No, she was there to see Kratos get killed. Her doing it to keep people worshipping her is your headcanon. It is not alluded to, it is not implied, and it is never stated

Where do you even get that from? Nothing in any of the games imply this. This is never a plot point. The gods existed before they were worshipped, and none of the gods showed any weakening throughout 3. You are taking rules from some other fictional universe and you're trying to force it into the God of War lore
>>
>>722249025
>Power just doesn't do things. There's always a purpose
Yeah, the purpose was very clerarly to have Kratos killed. The phone game already showed us that Hera didn't like Kratos, much the same reason she didn't like Hercules: He was a bastard son of Zeus. You're attributing motivation to her that was never in the games
>>
>>722249025
And in this case, it's to say "I still have power. I'm in control". But Hecules lost. Her Champion failed

They alrwady fucked with the canon by making Hercules a subserviant to Hera. Like he would, accoridng to lore. They(santa monoca) made it like that cause Kratos wqs alrwady a Hercules replacement. They gave Kratos, who was a minor character in mythos, amd gave him Hercules' strory

Kratos barely existed in mythos. They gave him Hercules' story. It made for a good game and story, but Hercules wasn't a blood thirsty being of vengence. He had his labours and was a hero of the people. Someone we could look up to

A good question that has no answers. You just sort of have to accept that when it comes to 2's time travel plotline.

It was pretty bold of them to introduce time travel to a character whose storyline revolves around mistakes he made in the past. You're telling me Kratos can travel back to any point in time, and his first priority isn't to go back and save his family? Not even as a quick detour before fighting Zeus?

>>722255280
>He killed the three goddesses that controlled time, their temple was already crumbling when he killed the third one. He literally had no time for a detour.
But he doesn't even consider going back to his family. Saving him family is the one thing you can confidently say that Kratos would choose over his vengeance. The idea that he wouldn't even try is pretty hard to believe. His first instinct should've been to go back and save his family, especially because the palace isn't crumbling when he first time travels back to Rhodes
>>
>>722255280
>Got snatched by gaia, and went through the same shit as kratos 1.
But he can't really. The Sisters of Fate and the Isle of Creation exist outside of time, which means that Kratos 2 is going to show up to a destroyed palace and won't be able to time travel. What's more, Kratos 1 is going to be assaulting Olympus when Kratos 2 would be on his quest, and the world would slowly get destroyed. Gaia would also be busy fighting, I guess
>>
The biggest insult with nugow are that they try to have kratos be stoic as some rehetoric against toxic masculinity when stoicism IS toxic and kratos was the very model of why you shouldnt be stoic.

When he was stoic to the greek gods he would just be screwed at every turn, only when he had enough and got mad did he make change.
>>
>>722230920
Nu-Kratos feels like a sock puppet, you can hear the puppeteer's reddit voice coming through the excellent voice more and more. The best part of nu-gow for me in terms of characters was the first few times Atreus got upset. Didn't end up liking the character at all, but he felt so human, the alienation between them was tangible and actually compelling. From there on it sucked story wise for me, though.

GoW 4 should have been about a lost or overlooked Greek pantheon member who survived Kratos' genocide in the third game and tracks him all the way to Scandinavia to get revenge and the game gives you two different ending choices:
>Ending 1, player decides that Kratos hasn't been redeemed or can't be redeemed, so he dies by their hand
>Ending 2, player decides that Kratos is still on the pathway to redemption, so he gets to live for now

Why won't Sony re-release the other Greek games aside from GOW3?

I think he'd be disappointed that he was still alive.

uhhhh did the writers even play the old games? i'm pretty sure the spartans worshipped kratos as a god of war for a while, see intro of gow2
>>
>>722233545
Actually true. In the original game, Kratos literally exists in the modern day and rules as the god of war for all of time
>>
>>722260406
I don't ever want to play as a character that beats Kratos . I have never played a game where it was satisfying to be some random character that beats up the series protagonist. Prototype did the same shit, and nobody liked that, and why would they? I don't want to beat up Alex Mercer. I want him to fucking win, because I've spent an entire game playing as Alex Mercer, and no sequel cunt gets to kill the guy I wrecked absolute shit with at the start of the series

>>
>>722263138
In concept though, it's still a really cool idea to have a boss fight against the series protagonist. Even better, it's impossible to win, just to demonstrate how cool they are. The biggest failure of the Valhalla DLC was not having a Kratos boss, and the biggest failure of Halo 5 was not having a Master Chief boss
>>
>>722262684
>i'm pretty sure the spartans worshipped kratos as a god of war for a while, see intro of gow2
They 100% did. It's because Ragnarok wants to pretend like Kratos wasn't worshipped so that they can make some point about him, but 2 and GoS straight up shows and tells us that Sparta did in fact worship him. I mean there are people in Sparta who could've grown up with the guy, and now he's a fucking god that has Sparta's back, and he's the god of war to boot? Of course Spartans worshipped him

He should be more disappointed that they gimped his jumping ability.

the way odin talks here gives those "quirky" "funny" (some call it "marvel movie writing" or "millennial writing" or "reddit writing" i believe) vibes a bit to me, but maybe not all characters are like this or it somehow fits odin's personality in these games i dunno i haven't played them
>>
>>722263896
>maybe not all characters are like this
They absolutely fucking do. Every single one. Kratos is the only character who has a dignified, setting-appropriate diction. Every other character speaks like a modern-day American. It's the biggest failing of nuGOW's writing, and if you hate that shit in fantasy settings, definitely never play them

Ding ding, you're right on the money
>The biggest failure of the Valhalla DLC was not having a Kratos boss
Definitely. Then we'd be able to see the power house Kratos is from an outside perspective

He was disappointed in who he became after he sold himself like a whore to Ares.

It actually would've been cool to see Kratos keep his cool *for a while*

And then Atreus getting hurt and seeing him go apeshit over it. It actually would make Kratos seem more mature as well, without losing his edge, best of both worlds.

That's true for majority of modern games. Especially rpgs.
No, seriously compare the way characters talk with each other in DAV, SW Outlaws and Andromeda to Mass Effect and VtmB for exmaple. Eveyone is talking in a soft, calming manner like patients of some hospital, retirement house or a daycare.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_pE3oHO6lc

What's up with that? Where the edge, where's the character, personality, where are emotions?

its funny that for all the otherwise bullshit additions to lore and retcons Ragnarok pulls, they actually try to softball his faustian bargain. he's shaming himself about making such a stupid deal and some new god basically argues "you were about to die, and your lands were gonna be conquered and raped. you made a bad decision but why you made it is understandable."
