This game is such a huge step up from Chains of Olympus. I don’t understand how anyone could see this as anything but a big improvement in gameplay variety, graphics, story, music, and boss fights.

The prequels, it's sad to see GOW fans talk about the trilogy but forgot about these becuase of the psp, they didn't get so lucky like ascension's team was with the console

they got out of deaths domain by falling from the temple, after all, both hades and olympus are also just on earth
@MightyNifty3 жыл бұрын
I could see that, but then wouldn't that also mean Kratos could've just climbed up to death's domain? Either way, a good theory, I just wish the developers explained it better.

I feel like the plothole of Zeus letting Kratos be the God of War could be answered by his betrayal in GOW2, like maybe he was testing Kratos' loyalty or ability to be a god.

Tbh ghost of sparta is my second favorite of the original saga and the last battle with thanatos is epic with kratos teaming up with deimos with some pretty epic Qte’s

You do not need to grind or do ten full playthroughs. all you need to do is beat the game once to unlock new game plus, wear the legionnaire costume which is included by default in the origins collection, combine that with the kings rings collectible if you found it during you first playthrough, and you should get 20x more red orbs than you would normally. doing this it only took me one playthrough to reach the more than enough red orbs to complete the temple of zues.

Big and unknown tip theras bane doesn't actually increase damage for the blade but actually lower them per slash The only effect it gives is fire bombs and aoe damage on certain moves The blades themselves do more damage per slash vs slashes with theras bane This can easily be tested with big enemies by performing non aoe moves with normal slashes vs theras bane slashes without applying the fire bombs

I love the video, it was a great work. And i just wanted to say that I always consider this game as the second best of the greek saga, but that was mostly because it was my first god of war. Now I realize about the flaws of the game thanks to your video. I'm still loving it, but i play it with a different view

With all due respect, some of your points just don't sit well with me. Like 'Thera's bane has a meter and you have to wait till it recharges' is the game's mechanic, not a downside. The fact that it automatically recharges is a plus point.

@LeSTaT10072 жыл бұрын
Great retrospective, been following your GoW videos lately as I'm preparing for Ragnarok. The only thing I would add is that it is important to take in account the device for which this game was designed. PSPs are supposed to provide you with some quick fun or some quick travel distraction, hence the amount of content once the game is beaten is an extreme well thought part of the package. And as mentioned in other commentary, getting everything can be done with just a second beat to the game with the correct accessories. I know, I just beat the game yesterday.

I haven’t finished this video but just from the beginning I’m really surprised by how much he’s ragging on the story, I actually think it’s one of the best in the series and really ties the rest of the trilogy together, without this game god of war 2 hardly makes sense. Chains of Olympus on the other hand was nice but extra and unnecessary

I'm pretty sure the golden fleece isn't in this game. I don't see it on Kratos at any point, plus this game takes place between 1 and 2, so he wouldn't even have it yet.
@amin26369 ай бұрын
I think the prequal games add a lot to kratos (i didnt play accension tho) These games add much needed depth to kratos even tho they may have plot holes Sure god of war 1 goes to show how deep kratos is but god of war 2 and 3 are both basicly kratos going to kill gods and thats not a bad thing and i love these games i think the prequals were needed

I don't know if anyone told you but Hades is the ruler of the underworld (Hades) and Thanatos is the embodiment of death, and it's his job to fetch souls and make sure none escape.

Ares took his powers away when he removed his blades during their battle that’s why he has no magic when your using the blade of the gods . So Kratos has to regain his powers

completely agree. the dive into this brotherly redemption arc had alot of good ways to captivate the players but werent completely enough to make you care. also it makes me think why the direction of acension went with the furies. i feel a dive into pre ares kratos and his family could have been a better story.
