there is 1 reason why GoW2 and GoW4 are the best in the series, Cory Barlog's way of telling the story.

Gow 4's boss fights are shit compared to gow 3. Combat and story however its best in the series

[@jigsterpineapples8827]

GOW4 will never beat the last 3 games, sorry but this my opinion and GOW4 Kratos looks so weak and lame with a different voice actor, and I know everyone has to grow but that’s what made kratos a total badass.

[@supersoldierx40]

3 is my favorite tbh so epic and u can actually see growth in Kratos especially towards the end 4 was cool and I liked mature Kratos actually he was dope but I would've liked more brutality and gore and better boss fights baldur boss battle was badass af tho ngl

God Of War 4 just lacks giant setpiece bosses in my opinion.

[@2005zhane]

Kind of thought that it was the same. But in a sense we see how Balrog foretells about how Zeus fights a solders as far back as the first game. One of the areas that we pass in GOW1, I forget which one, we see a picture of Zeus fighting a Soldier. While most might not have thought twice about it. This more or less is a foreshadowing of Kratos's inevitable battle with Zeus.

[@KaptainKuba]

Yeah that one is more forshadowing

[@angelb.823]

Also in God of War 2. When you pass into the inner sanctum of the Temple of the Fates, right before entering the Loom Chamber (Clotho's hideout), there are three murals representing events of the past (Titanomachy), present (aftermath of God of War 3; Kratos being the sole survivor of Olympus' destruction), and future (the three wise men who follow the star to Bethlehem towards the birth of Christ).

Actually, there wasn't really a reason to question why the Titans weren't harmed by the blast in the flashback. In Rhodes, Zeus just released the energy stored in the Blade of Olympus, in my idea Kratos' divine power, with the goal of destruction. At the end of the Titanomachy, he slammed the blade in the ground and banished the titans "to the Darkest Pits of Tartarus". We didn't know what this banishment would look like, so there was no immediate reason to question it, although at first I didn't understand why they were trapped in bubbles with the wave coming. It looked strange until you see the end of the game. It was indeed a genius way of foreshadowing.
