      As a new fan since mid 2022 I can understand. But the saga portrays how life can change a man's mind, even though this man is himself a god. I didn't played the Greek era 'cause I didn't had the age to do it (except for the third game on PS4, which was wild tbh) but i saw movie like gameplays and i don't think I could play it today because it ages a lot.

      ​@@RoxsleyimpfromhellThis is my sentiments exactly. Honestly GOW 4 was better than Ragnarok if we're being objective. The only thing holding Ragnarok up was the hype. It was honestly one of the weaker mainline entries imo. It was decent but not nearly the bombastic experience GOW 3 was, which is a crying shame since it was supposed to be our last hoorah through Norse realms. Too much Oscar, not enough game.

    Just speaking for myself, but I have a strong feeling that the reason Norse metrology was used(I absolutely LOVE Norse mythology btw) was because of the Marvel franchise. It was REALLY starting to pop off and I feel that’s the honest reason for the setting. Also Assassins Creed had come out with Origin so there’s that too. After God of War Rag, haven’t played it yet, I’d love to see some Egyptian gameplay! Devs take this note… Petbe would be AMAZING to bring into that setting. Seth would be a good one to bring in as well

      Nah, Norse legends have trickled into English folklore for centuries. Let's not forget that there were Viking Kings of England like Canute the Great. Our language is intertwined with theirs so it's not surprising that their folklore resonates with us.
      Lest we forget that much of the folklore in the Lord of the Rings, especially Elvenlore, was lifted from Norse and Finno-Urgic mythology.

The story feels like a well-written novel with philosophical truths and hardships that blend perfectly visually into the story of God of War. In fact, it being rushed and still turning out this great is amazing, you can really tell they went above and beyond with this legendary character.

    kratos himself is not only a sentiment to what change can do to a person but also shows us the challenge it takes to make that change, we see this giant burly man who is stuck on the idea of revenge on those who took everything he had away into a man who wishes to make the world better for his son, and for him to become a better father just the same. i havn't seen a more amazing character arc other than kratos himself, and its all thanks to one amazing studio listening to their fans, and an amazingly creative story design team.
    say what you want that may be missing from the games, this is one of the best, the best characters, games, gameplay, and franchises.

      Miles Morales was a bit small compared to the first but its still pretty solid imo. Horizon 1 had me going "man it'd be nice to have *some improvement* but this is still amazing". Horizon 2 fixed every one of those things and then some. Definitely flawed but I don't think I've ever played a game without some flaw or another.

      Nah, they just made a hack and slash where your last concern is slashing enemies. The enemies have almost 0 meaning, the rich variety once seen in gow 3 vanished, the backgrounds are now simple caves, it makes it appear like I am playing skyrim, even the camera angle contributes to that, in OG gows the camera angle always showed the scenario in the most beautiful cinematic view so you could have a nice view of the fight, almost as if every battle was a piece of art. The structures were magnificent and mythologic, big and imponent, now its just the back of kratos covering 1/3 of the screen and you being attacked from offscreen.
      It truly feels like a worse skyrim, as it is not open world, and has much less content.
      They focused too much on thecnical aspects of art and forgot what made the game enjoyable for the OG community, it was never graphics. Gow 1 and 2 were mid to low graphics but still had a fun combat system, which was intuitive, and presented new combat related stuff every 30min.
      The variety of enemies (visually and mechanically) also was much greater, and kratos could be very brutal, yet soft on adequate moments. The first three games were very similar in combat, each one making some improvement and adding new content, the original triology is art. All we wanted to see was essentially a GoW 3 combat system with the newest graphics that went to GoW 4.

    It’s not often I get chills watching one of these video game history/background videos, but this was incredibly done. I’ve loved the GoW series since the beginning, and the first three have always been memorable to me, but I was never really emotionally connected with them, because Kratos has always been a bit of a 1-dimensional character. The 2018 game and Ragnarok have elevated it to being one of the best game series I’ve ever played, hands down. The story is absolutely incredible, and I’ve never gotten teary eyed and choked up at a video game like I did throughout the two recent entries, but it’s the passion and attention to detail to EVERY aspect that shines through just as much. The beautiful graphics, landscapes, textures, the soundtrack and voice acting and sound design, the gameplay and just overall refinement and polish is something I’ve never seen in video games to date the way Santa Monica executed. I’ve nearly finished 100% of Ragnarok but I’m already excited to replay the two through completely again, and I’ve already replayed the original two as well. Absolutely a masterpiece, and I hope the studio gets all the recognition they deserve.
