The End of God of War 2005 is OUTRAGEOUS

[@matiasgago]

LONG LIVE THE GOD OF WAR 😤 This was a rollercoaster of emotions that I'll never forget. Love y'all and thank you for sticking around. I'll see you guys in GOW 2 when I'm back from my trip ❤

[@monkeyboy275bobo8]

Do you stick with hard Mati? I think you probably wont enjoy rushing threw things tbh. Dont worry too much about progressing. We like to see you suffer, its still good content.

[@dgalloway107]

Dude you are absolutely not alone with the ps stream lag. When i had that shit, it damn near made the second game unbeatable for me. I did beat it but holy fuck it actually made it not fun on some parts, and i unfortunately must buy 1 internet plan from 1 provider in my area, so i couldnt really even change that part.

If you feel bad putting it on easy mode, think about this. You did it when kratos had become more than a mortal so life kinda became easy mode around the time you switched it lol

As someone who as played all the god of war games, this is only the beginning of greatness, they somehow upped the level every single game going forward, can’t wait to see your god of war 2 play through, keep killing it bro and enjoy your time in Amsterdam 🙌

I might not know fully yet cuz i haven't played the newer God of War games beyond 1-3 and Chains of Olympus . Honestly from all the reviews, streams i've seen imo the originals vibe with me most. But i think from what i've seen they all have weight and are expertly crafted. I like the OG trilogy because the puzzles are the HARDEST i've ever experienced .

Good job, I had a lot of fun with this series and I felt like I was playing one of my favorite games for the first time in hard mode thanks to you. Although you have not completed the last challenge in full hard mode and that has been a bit disappointing, I think it is appropriate for you to enjoy this game incredible ending, you have completed enough in hard mode for the title of the God Of War. Congratulations to you, from someone who completed all the games of the trilogy on the highest possible difficulty. My congratulations from Chile.

[@richardjbsimon]

One thing I could say about GoW 1 is that regardless of the difficulty setting, the game would always pull some stunt to make you question your sanity level for keeping on pushing through to the end!

[@thekatarnalchemist]

Congratulations on beating the game, Mati! And I hope you have a good time in Holland! Re. GoW2...I advise *not* playing on the hardest difficulty right off the bat, because it messes with enemy placements and some quicktime events to the point that even veterans of the franchise have problems beating some areas. Start with Normal, and if that feels too easy you can always bump up the difficulty later.

[@t0q14s9]

So did they add an option to change difficulty in gow2 im nearly done with my playthrough of the first one and spartan has felt good for most of the game but it started feeling nearly impossible at some parts near the end of the game. Overall tho i wouldnt want to reduce the difficulty level for the whole game.

[@griffwilson5932]

Glad you had a blast playing the game. First time experiences for a legendary game is always a great feeling.Looking forward to you playing GOW 2. And I’m ESPECIALLY looking forward to you playing God of War 3. Definitely the most violent of the GOW games in my opinion. Edit: Also, I recommend playing Chains of Olympus, and Ghost of Sparta also. They were PSP titles, but they got ported to the PS3 and are also incredible games, with Chains of Olympus being my favorite of the 2. I would recommend playing ‘Ascension’ too, though I will say that it’s a little weaker than the other games, but still a pretty good game.

[@nickcarrillo5237]

Enjoyed walking down memory lane with this one Mati! Amsterdam is one of my favorite spots. Have a great time and I’ll be waiting for the first episode of GoW2… probably one of my favorite games ever… and I’ve played video games for over 40 yrs. Peace!

[@Joao-ns4sk]

Probably the best playtrough I've watched on youtube. I played first 2 gow on streaming too. First one I started on hard and had to restart it on normal later cause easy it's not fun. Second one I Don't actually remember the difficulty I choosed but I know that I gave up due to streaming... Horrible, will never do it again. I found out today that I quitted really in the end of the game so I might comeback just to end it. Btw play on normal really... It's much funnier to watch you playing on hard but I don't recommend it to anyone. I started 3rd one on hard and was the worst thing I could have done. I ended up changing to easy in the middle of the game and it wasn't fun. Just go on normal... I always chose the hardest difficulty unless there's no way to reduce it during the game. You're my favorite youtuber from now on. Found you through Shadow of Colussus which I beaten 2 weeks ago. Actually found it funny how you passed that one on normal which is kinda easy and much funnier in the hard difficulty.

I'm so excited that you get to experience this game for the first time. EDIT: I`m watching you suffer in the rage room and I did it on easy mode and still died there. And yes sometimes button presses in QTE-s just dont register and blocks also. Streaming is pain but no another way to play these games on PS5 sadly.

[@matheusst.3655]

If you think the clones phase of the last fight was hard on Spartan mode, you should see what it is like on God mode. The clones can kill your family in like 2 seconds, you have to use a very tight strategy of managing your magic, using the Army of Hades and Poseidon Rage spells, and also utilizing The Rage of the Gods the most optimal way so you can use spells the fastest way without depleting the bar. I have beaten this game more than 500 times, for a while it was the only game I owned and at one point I played it to completion every day before school for about a year.

You did great on this playthrough and honestly that's how a lot of us kept dying is on those same parts and in those same ways. I love going back and playing this over and over because every time I find new stuff I didn't know was there that the developer hid so well.

I've finished this game on VERY HARD it was around last year I think. It's one of my biggest achievements cause I'm a sucker for god of war games since I was a child. I remember getting a ps2 back in the day and got god of war 2 with it. I was 5 at the time and i never finished the game cause it was too hard I only watched my brother play it all the way through and I fell in love with it. It was around 2023 when I got a ps3 and got these games on it, I loved them so much I still do a playthrough time to time. But ngl the "RAGE ROOM" gave me such a hard time even ares was easier than that and the clone war ofc drove me crazy It took me like 1:30hr just to do the clone war alone...it was pure pain..but worth it in the end

[@kalelson8861]

Congrats bro almost 3 hrs long and I still want MORE!! Thanks for going thru this journey for us mati. Now go enjoy that well deserved time off and be safe on your travels. Much love to the squad Quick edit: tbh i always consider that last fight as 2 phases but phase 1&3 is aries and phase 2 is kratos (dark side) so to me at least you did defeat aries n 99% of the game on Spartan difficulty

I haven't watched the complete video yet but I want to say that I'm happy you started playing the first GOW before the others because lots of people like to skip the originals and watched their story in a summary video. I'm also glad you are liking the game and can't wait to see you play GOW 2 & 3, and hope you'll see at least a reaction video about the spinn-off games. In second note, you improved a lot through out the playthrought even if it got difficult at times. I will still recommend you to play the other games in hard difficulty because they are not as unforgiving as the first one, so you can do it. PD: Ginormous Brain.

The satyrs are darn annoying to fight, but I do love their design. (Also grab-killing them is satisfying as F.) 35:40: Flashback from NES's Chip'n'Dale Rescue Rangers sewer level... 2:31:15: *That* indeed is the true boss fight, and on the hardest difficulty you really need to maximize the Rage of Gods with Poseidon's Rage and the Army of Hades to refill HP and give time to hug Kratos' family. This section alone probably took me about 6 hours when playing first time on the hardest difficulty. (And later I had to do it again to earn the platinum trophy on PS3, but at that time I knew the tricks to this fight.)
