ZEUS KINDA SUCKS | First Time Playing God of War 2 - Part 1

[@matiasgago]

WE'RE BACK BABYYY Thank you guys for your patience while I was on my trip, I am so excited to be back! Hope you all enjoy this wild beginning 😅

[@劉禎-s7k]

Your trip looks amazing!

[@qinop]

hope your trip was good bro

[@odperfect1021]

The trip looked hella fun man!

[@f5673-t1h]

Idk if you saw my comment before, but I'll say it again: You need to learn the quick roll. Roll, then cancel with a square, then you can do another roll, and repeat. This is the fastest way to move, and it works in ALL the Greek games, an it helps you get away from enemies quickly to grab chests.

[@TheRealProdigy]

The start of this game is nuts

[@WantSomeWhiskey818]

"Yo Zeus kinda sucks dude" This one sentence summarizes my entire Greek mythology class in college lol

[@MrMin316]

The stature was one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world, which was made of bronze in 280 BC and survived for only 54 years due to the earthquake that hit Rhodes; Statue of Rhodes. The 32-meter-high statue, built by the sculptor Khares of Lindos in the name of the Greek God of the Sun, Helios, was located at the entrance of the harbor on Rhodes Island.

[@michaelschwartz8730]

Also, fun fact: I believe the Statue of Liberty was conceived as a female version of the colossus for the (then) modern world

[@BaldorfBreakdowns]

Isn't there also a myth about it moving?

[@cockybalboa2]

Colossus of Rhodes

[@hoang2312]

I thought some analysists said that it couldn't physically be built like that (like a bridge/gate), that would shut down the harbors for decades. My guess is that it was built but smaller and not in that position, in spite of that one painting's existence

[@eliasnurmi5362]

WERE SO BACK LETS GOO❤

[@matiasgago]

YES INDEED

[@HellYeahGaming]

Fun fact, the Titan chained up cursed to have his liver eaten by an eagle every day? That’s Prometheus, and he didn’t *just* grant fire to humanity. In Greek mythology he created humanity itself. So his punishment wasn’t just about giving away a treasure of the gods, fire, but also for favoring his own petty little “toys” more than the gods. One of the biggest reasons the Greek gods tend to be such jerks to humanity is because unlike most other creation myths, the gods themselves never had anything to do us coming into being, and in fact they largely see people as these little insects that got all over and infested their cool stuff.

[@maximvsdread1610]

So, We're cockroaches. Nice.

[@HellYeahGaming]

@@maximvsdread1610 go Team Cockroach!

[@Jojo-nq3bp]

"the cycle ends here" keep that in mind when you get to gow 2018

[@ZeallustImmortal]

I love how in the first hour Kratos loses his God powers, destroys a small army, defeats a colossus that has his former power, gets crushed by his hubris, killed by Zeus, then climbs out of hell for the reason of "I am no coward". While mortal. Dude is a monster.

[@ItzzJeik]

49:04 Remember that words THE CYCLE ENDS HERE

[@Mello_1123]

We must be better

[@MrTrueCaller619]

FR 💯

[@peterg4130]

I totally did a double take when I heard Zeus say that. Haven't played this since it came out way back, so I never made that connection until now

[@aaronf1078]

Couple prompts you overlooked, Press r1/r2 to slide down walls using your blades, and X to traverse ropes quickly, you can also turn rage off. great video mate I’ve been hype for this💯🔥

[@ZeallustImmortal]

Extremely important tips, saves so much time and so many deaths

[@Vohaul86]

Prometheus' voice actor is the legendary Alan Oppenheimer, that was the voice of Skeletor in the '80s He-Man & the Masters of the Universe. Also voiced the Prime Evil in Filmation's Ghostbusters and the friendly dragon Falkor in The NeverEnding Story. He's 93 years old, so literally a grand old man of voice acting.

[@The_Knight_Gs]

I'm happy to find that someone's still playing older GOW games on KZbin. I thought I was the only one 😅

[@davejersey8464]

So glad you're doing this! You should slow down and explore more, you missed like 6-10 chests already and one was a Gorgon Eye! That one room where you step on the plate and kick that statue through then roll through, you were supposed to break the top of the statue and drag it to the wall that had 3 chests up there and one was your first Gorgon eye! Love this game!

[@OokileyGMR]

Pro tip: You don't have to wait until the Rage meter is full to start using the rage .

[@markpayne8004]

You are so right about these games being ahead of their time. This one in particular, it is easily the best PS2 game I’ve ever played. In fact, last week I dusted off the old thing and beat this game again just to prepare myself for this playthrough. Definitely wished I had the HD version on a few occasions, but it was still very enjoyable, and I don’t think I could say that about many games of that era. Also, I just played the PC version of God of War (2018) for the first time with my new set up and it is absolutely nuts how good the graphics are in that and Ragnarök! Enjoy the ride, you are playing some of the absolute best games ever made.

[@vlad_47]

It is hands down the best PS2 fantasy adventure game

[@aidengamerboy4041]

LETS GOOOOO!!!! I just discovered your channel with the first game and I’ve been loving your content so ever since I finished watching the GOW playthrough I’ve been patiently waiting for this day. Keep up the good work ❤

[@matiasgago]

Welcome to the gang brother

[@adelindanaila]

Lesgoooo, can't wait. You are in for a treat my guy. This is the PS2 GOAT GAME. THE GOAT. Trust me, you'll love the soundtrack.

[@matiasgago]

Already in love :D

[@adelindanaila]

Edit: just watched that part. I'm glad you picked it up hehe Oh man, my absolute favorite thing in the beginning is Gaia showing up, revealing that she watched Kratos through all of his life. The crazy part is that the narrator in the first game and the beginning of the second has the exact same voice as Gaia, implying that the narrator was actually Gaia all this time. Plot writing done right . Im in love with this series.

[@fauzanmuhammad591]

ZEEEEEOOOOOOSSSSS LETTS GOOOO

[@Lug_KK]

zuz

[@FireCat14]

Let's Gooooo!!!!! Also please play the Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta as well! EDIT: before you go any further! You can press x to go faster on horizontal ropes! Edit: You can switch off the rage mode to save the rage meter!

[@RabeaMassaad]

This was the first GOW game I played. Instantly hooked. Insane game! Glad to see you’re enjoying these classics.

[@GHOST-7100]

What great news to come back and play the second part of the game. I'm excited, and good luck ❤

[@matiasgago]

This is gonna be a wild ride I can feel it in the air

[@goldcoin6900]

Let's go, we back again! Excited for this one too, after watching god of war 1!

[@matiasgago]

Somehow this beginning is crazier than the last ones :'D

[@MartinHanrez]

Hey Mati, please don’t stop being so enthusiastic and being hyped about those games as the fact you explain why you love this or that is one of the main reason I really enjoy so much your playthrough of this saga ! Can’t wait to see the next videos and you discovering the following events :D Those games were indeed so ahead of their time and I really miss those games this days

[@ABG_SPARTAN]

GoW2 is my favorite atmosphere in the franchise. You’re in for a masterpiece Mati🔥💥

[@peterg4130]

Man I remember playing these games in my early/mid 20s. Love watching your streams, and reliving the story and game again.

[@shift-_-xy4475]

been watching your vids for almost 2 years now, its nice to see how much you channel has grown

[@chrismarkle524]

I love the flashback to when you saw the flight controls. 😄 Love the videos! Also, I streamed this from PS Now a few years ago and had the most trouble with a platforming section. The delay between my button presses and the game were pretty bad.

[@aodhanmcveigh8759]

im so stoked for you to play GOD3! it still holds up in 2024

[@f5673-t1h]

"still holds up" is an insult to old games, since they're the only games that hold up today. New games on the whole suck.

[@BaldorfBreakdowns]

If I didn't know better, you could tell me it came out this year and I'd believe it, no question. Doesn't feel like a 14 year old game at all.

[@aodhanmcveigh8759]

@user-jc2lz6jb2e it's a 15 year old game that is still this good for today's standards

[@peterg4130]

​@@f5673-t1h lol what a bad take

[@pixelpatron]

GOW 2 is my fav from the series. It improved so much from the first; which was already such a masterpiece. Good call on the hard mode, it’s rough.

[@Kaasi20]

HES BACK LETS GOOO

[@sqeeks83]

As someone who has played the whole series plus the two new ones and DLC’s just recently, I am remembering important key scenes in past games. You will have such a strong appreciation for those moments ( you’ll know when you get there, no spoilers ) that just gives you chills because all the entries will be fresh in your mind. Mati, you in for the ride of your gaming life.. 😂

[@jalovvorn]

Dude, I bought a PlayStation for Bloodborne and these games. And GOW has become one of my favorite franchises ever. I'm so psyched you're playing them.

[@mattwilkinson2229]

Hell yeah been looking forward to this!

[@mr.thebeemovie2363]

Yess my man welcome back, it's well worth the wait.

[@wanderer2657]

Really glad you're sticking with the series and going through them all. I would like to put in a request for Ghost of Tsushima for the next time you're wondering what the next series should be. (This doesn't apply if you've already played it however)

[@matiasgago]

I did play the first maybe 3 hours and thought it was great would love to play with yall fully in the future

[@bory7420]

Been a silent watcher for some time, but i cannot help but express my excitment to see your journey through the God of War series! This is gonna be HYPE

[@matiasgago]

Welcome to this side chief

[@reasondixon1421]

LFG! Welcome back. I hope you enjoyed your vacation

[@matiasgago]

I sure did man thank you now we dial in

[@gabscongo]

Welcome back, Mati! Hope you enjoyed your vacation excited for this playthrough!!

[@matiasgago]

Thanks gabs!!

[@ool_ongtea3283]

yo mati, don't forget that you can turn off the rage of the gods whenever now, allowing you to conserve much more of its power! I don't wish to see you regret missing that 😭🙏

[@andrew2685]

1:04 This makes me want to sing the God Of War national anthem.......... TO TELOS ARRHIZI!!!!! The story is going to go so hard. We love you man

[@brokenhalo487]

YES! GOW2 is my favorite of the franchise! ❤ Really looking forward to watching this. Loved the first series and I'm excited for you bro! 👊

[@kaiderhai86]

LETS GOO! I played abit GoW2 last week. On god... I dont think I want to continue like that 😢 I am glad you rather want to have fun this time 😂 27:22 almost. You can destroy the bird statue to stand on it and no, no coming back. Dont matter though since you dont take anything with you from the "tutorial".

[@kalelson8861]

We are so back, huge brain tactics😂 glad to hear you enjoyed ya trip, better to hear you had GOW on the brain. Let's go kill some gods!!

[@dantesprophet9612]

Soon as I saw the hat and name I clicked. I knew you were gonna love the introduction.

[@CyberSlime98]

I found your vids last week and have been loving the content, keep up the great work 👏 and keep these gow videos dropping!!!

[@demonicxfire]

OMG THANK GOD FINALLY UR BACK!!! I COULDN'T WAIT FOR THIS ANY LONGER!! I'm so glad u enjoyed your vacation, but dude that was one hell of a wait, lmao Anyways, I hope you'll have a great day! And also, a little reminder to play Outer Wilds after or during the God of War series. It'll be worth it. Anyways, bye! I already can't wait for the next episode!!

[@agthe8999]

Yeeeeah!!! The best GoW game of the original trilogy!!!!

[@iergosum]

I think the blur at the beginning made it way funnier than it wouldve been normally since you can kinda see motion of “stuff” 😂😂 love to see the journey continue!

[@samdecayed]

ITS HERE RAAHHHHH

[@matiasgago]

WE MADE IT

[@Loser-lh8di]

So glad you are back. This is one of the top Playstation 2 games ever made. Having said that, I cannot wait until you get to God of War 3.

[@arturvinicius2407]

1:29:15 You can deactivate Titan Fury at any time, the same way you activate it. And its bar doesn't need to be full to be used, if a little less than half is full, you can use it.

[@metalheadguitarist]

Let’s gooo! Welcome back bro so excited for this play through🙌

[@Perklis79]

I'm so excited to see you play through this game, God of War 2 is truly something special.

[@bringer1609]

Ohh i've been waiting for this one🤩 Lets go GOW2!

[@northblade6835]

Heii glad ur back. Miss u man!, Keep it up👍

[@RuneK1tsune]

WE ARE SO BACK!!! More God of War is always fun! Glad to have you back Mati!

[@caliaid]

let’s gooooo! welcome back - hope you had a good trip!!!

[@quethpinkle]

Yesss just finished the last video this morning so this is great timing. So glad to see this pop up, hope you had a good trip!

[@baka6884]

Let's gooooo❤❤❤❤

[@RockSnakeGamer]

my favorite god of war from the series, just a side note, you don't need to fill up your fury to be able to use it and you can also deactivate at any time. Already hyped for the next ep 😊

[@marclonsdale1129]

Oh yeah baby! Good to see you again, looking forward to this run my man! Welcome back.

[@Gottagoslower]

Hope you had a nice vacation :D But damn I couldn't wait till you came back to bring us this playthrough.

[@peloquin5652]

Dude I LOVE your playthroughs! Rock on! 🤘

[@whosdanl]

GOD OF WAR 2 TIME!!!!! YEAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

[@matiasgago]

YESSSSSSSIRRRRR

[@thanasmanjunatha]

@@matiasgagobro about the question around 1:31:25, those enemies are known as undead legionnaires and in the first game they were the main part of area’s army and they just spawn in god of war 2 just for the sake of it pretty sure they aren’t under anybody

[@thanasmanjunatha]

@@matiasgagofrom my perspective I think why there are so many is because as you have seen kratos cheating death 2 times, they also go through a similar process and are “undead”

[@vaanknight]

Oh, I was waiting for this! Welcome back, man, I hope you had a blast.

[@scranton8582]

YEAH!!! Been Waiting for this!!

[@trivium7357]

Fck yeaaaah, so envious of you getting to experience this franchise for the first time

[@DTec1978]

Can't wait for you to finish this and roll straight into part 3 which, believe it or not, has an opening more awesome than any other game in history... makes this game's opening look like a saturdaymorning cartoon.

[@williamdinkel2304]

Just a heads up, you can turn off Rage of the Titans by pressing both sticks. Its useful to deactivate it when encounters end so you don't waste any of the meter thats left.

[@DTFLexX]

YEEEAAHHH MATI!!!

[@jessemartinez2923]

It’s get better !! You gonna keep saying you’re loving it

[@CarmenGarcia-rf5em]

Normally don't follow KZbinrs but I'm so enjoying your videos. This brought me back to my teen years when I first played this game. Thanks for that! This GAME is absolutely EPIC!

[@ibrahimalsalmi4759]

Man this game takes me back. definitely my 3rd favorite in the series. Have fun man. this is one of my all time favorite

Ya me alegraste el dia mati 😁 Eres genial!!

[@L1ke_a_Bot]

My bro dropped me his PS5 while he's on vacation, so I'm currently playing GoW Ragnarok. Can't wait for you to start the newest GoW series You are the only youtuber I'm watching constantly. Seems like most are shifting to streaming. And while I get it's better for them (no need to edit videos), but for me streams are less atmospheric, cause streamers got too distracted with chat, subs and other stream activities. So I still prefer old school KZbin playthroughs. Hope you'll stay this way. Best wishes from Ukraine :)

[@BaldorfBreakdowns]

2 really does improve on so much from 1, this series is so effing good!

I love watching Mati!

[@Vohaul86]

This is by far my favorite God of War game ever: the main location of the adventure managed to surprise me even after the phenomenal Pandora's Temple, and the main antagonists were also memorable. Even finished this on the hardest difficulty on PS2, and earned the platinum trophy on PS3. Truly good times. Edit: Also theme of the location/default boss theme is one of my all-time favorites, beating even the Minotaur boss battle theme from GoW1.

[@ppviejo24]
