there is one combat puzzle in GOWR. its in vanaheim where there are respawning gulon and you need to get them into the cage without killing them while throwing the axe at the gear to push it up. It's how you summon one of the dragons(not the one that flies) in vanaheim i had to look it up to figure it out lol

None of this is complete without this: Atreus needs to know *exactly* what Kratos did. Not that he killed his father Zeus, or that he killed nameless Innocents, but that he killed his actual family. He murdered his wife and child and carries their ashes on his skin. Atreus needs to know just why he was considered such a monster in his homeland and why he was feared the way he was and it can't just be implied, he has to know. They copped out of it the first game and I'm disappointed in them for not making that clearer in the second.

@NickLinacre Ай бұрын

I love the fact that the newer games are more story focussed, however I think they played it way too safe with Ragnarok. The whole process felt too easy and like nothing was ever really at stake. When Atreus was going to Asgard, Odin should have been much more manipulative with Atreus. Shown him some of what Kratos did in his past to try and make Atreus believe his father is a bad person and Odin is actually the good guy etc. This could have turned Atreus against Kratos for a period of the game. Also, in the Ragnarok battle, we should have lost a lot more of our allies i.e. more of the Valkyries that wouldn't later be used, Hildisvini, the Dwarves should have come in numbers and the death toll should have been a lot higher to make it feel like an actual war. The only characters who should have survived should have been characters who were used for the DLC. Ragnarok itself should have been longer and there should have been moments where we felt like we were going to lose to Asgard, but Kratos digs deep to prevail. The last boss fights should have been way more epic too. Mechanically they are fine, but how can the first Thor fight be way more dramatic than the second? We should have been throwing each other around Asgard in the cutscenes. The world serpent should have somehow been involved. The splintering of the world tree should have been represented somehow, maybe by the roots starting to rip a hole in the sky etc. Ragnarok should have felt darker, but also a lot more intense. Kratos and Atreus having a little heart to heart about 'being better' in the middle of the supposed end of the world felt a little out of place. I honestly think if SMS had nailed the Ragnarok part of the game better then some of the other story sections i.e. Ironwood could have been forgiven. Just my take.

The whole ironwood section could have been better had they not spaced it out so much. For example, they could have introduced Gryla earlier and not fed Atreus any context as to who she was. Then, once he meets Angrboda, she hesitates to tell him. Atreus then sees the profecy and has his brief meltdown. They could now mix the fetch quest with another animal being abducted but they're in no position to help. Once Atreus receives the giant marbles the last wolf get abducted. And we move straight into heading towards that boss fight. And it ends how it ends. I'm pretty sure we cut down 30 minutes to an hour of this area without the fluff.

God of war should take notes from Ghost of tsushima when it comes to customizations. It's completely unnecessary to have 3 body part armors. Instead, a single outfit that changes stats and everything else should be cosmetic. Exactly as in Ghost of tsushima.

GOW3 also did that. That’s what I want for next games. And they should us allow to get the armor from challenges or bosses.

@boofer22811 Ай бұрын

Ya, but in an expensive RPG, each piece is unique and offers stackable or independent stats and perks. A "suit" would just take away from who/what kratos is. It's better the way it is, it IS a story based game, not a customizable character with not much story to the game. We need more games with character depth, we are more interested in the story than what our character looks like. It's the old saying, don't judge a book by its cover, because the story is so much better than being able to give him a goatee, or a suit of armor which doesn't fit the character or character development of the story, that customization is pretty pointless considering the story was trying really well to stay period specific in the story.

There's great spectacle in the game *and* substance, worth checking out despite its rough spots.

You can actually even test it yourself: try playing DMC5 with a "Tomboy" breaker only and try to use it's charged shot as much as you would throw your axe in GoW. Of course how much you throw it depends on your play style, but i do it a lot and now actually interested to try this and see how it goes lol, but from what i experienced with Tomboy already... it's not very convenient to use.

All the points you've put up are some of my major reasons to love Ragnarok even more. I don't want to be harsh on the people asking for them to be too used to fan-servicing. But these games I think were made keeping in mind that they wanted a story to be portrayed through a game. It's a cinema, but we control the protagonists. I think it's very refreshing that the levels cannot be replayed, that the Ragnarok section was not a sprawling buffet of animation and gore. It started as a story of a father and son, and it ends with that. Maybe I've seen too many art films in my life and become used to slow pacing in media, but it works perfectly for me.

@michaeltev25 Ай бұрын

Great video Captain I agree with a lot of things you said here especially that Ironwood should not be re-created in a different way ever again. Yes the character development was nice and those moments that you mentioned were important as well too. I definitely agree with that but the pacing of that Section is just awful. I think if Santa Monica takes a bit from each game especially the best out of each game and they mould it together similar to what they did in God of War Ragnarok Valhalla then I reckon their next game could be just as big as 2018 or if not even bigger, if they are able to take the storytelling from God of War 2018 the combat from God of War Ragnarok/Valhalla and bits and pieces from the Greek games such as jumping and the blade of Olympus and stuff like that it would be an incredible game but then again that’s just my humble opinion.

I disagree with the no cut camera, i feel they can build upon it, but i want it to stay, it just worked for the immersion of the story. I also dont like helmets and beard types. Kratos' look is supposed to be bespoke. Him changing his armor makes sense tho, and transmog should definitely be there from day 1. Still great to hear you go through the exercise of what you'd to see different! They need to give us more unique trinkets and gifts after we kill mini/main bosses. It was always fun to get a mini reward from those kills that talismans just didn't get right. Ill be honest though papo, replaying Valhalla, Tyr's character is so interesting. I highly recommend you go on a deep dive of Valhalla and Tyr, piecing together his whole story and teachings to Kratos in Valhalla has me thinking how he may be involved in the future. Is Tyr going to still be our bridge to the other pantheons? Remember those pre-Ragnarok theories with him bringing the gift to the greeks? Was that technically painted by the Giants? Was that potentially a prophecy (as we learned from Angrboda in Ragnarok that they paint things that havent happened yet/the mural Kratos saw at the end). Maybe Tyr hasn't gone to Greece yet, is that a Cory "way, way later" teaser? My minds racing about it! Tyr's character in Valhalla's was so intriguing, and it was awesome to see his true nature. Food for thought papo!

@westonmuse9634 Ай бұрын

yeah i initially agreed but the more i think about it, the more i realize i would miss it if they got rid of it. even in the original god of war’s the cutscenes followed kratos 95% of the time, so what would be the point in cutting? and if they have an interesting story they want to tell where kratos isn’t supposed to be there, they can do clever cuts like in ragnarok.

@lukelinton7104 Ай бұрын

The problem with the no cut is it limits the amount of big scaled boss fights that they could do, just look at the scene from asuras wrath where he stops the massive finger.. gow could make kratos do something crazy like that, but with the no cut camera it’s impossible, and it’s not like getting rid of the no cut would affect the close story. Just look at games like rdr2 and tlou, both have camera cuts and close and personal story’s, gow could have both, I think a good example of what gow would look like with camera cuts, is the cgi trailers for Ragnarok and 2018

@KyleTaylorDesigns Ай бұрын

One RPG element I'd like to see implemented if possible would be diverging paths and cause & effect. Cause and effect similar to Mass Effect, whereas you make small choices along the story to which the results of those choices would be relieved later on.This could also be coupled with the diverging path idea by giving the player a choice which path to an objective to take. On previous game series that I liked which did this well in early titles were the Start Ocean games; which allowed to not only choose your path in certain points in the story, but those also tie into who you can recruit into your team. Ex: choose Path 1 and you're rewarded with Team member A, but that means you can't get Team member B, nor can you back track and take Path 2 for more loot. Since we don't know what the next GoW game will be like in terms of partners and other story characters, this could be an interesting element to include. Especially if it's an Egypt prequel to the Norse games; we know Kratos doesn't stay there, nor does he mention anyone from that region in casual conversation, which could be enough a grey area to include such a mechanic.

Personally i wish they remove the RPG system. I don't think they added anything. Doesn't mean the armor sets should be removed but instead of buying them i want to find them. We could dress Kratos up cosmetically and if you find a whole set you get a new power related to that armor set (you can still use the power regardless of armor) Honestly rpg in a action game like this ruins the phase and make the combat seem deeper than it really is. I hate having to wear armor peaces in order to make the numbers go up instead of letting me go nuts with whatever i wanna wear. The other thing is that i wish more cinematic games did is to embrace that it's still a video game. Go nuts. Add some platformering and pull the camera back a bit so we can do these platforms. (So yeah. Add a jump button.) Note these are my opinions

@H_3_R_0- Ай бұрын

The mission replay is the one thing I want the most. As well as having a boss select option. I hate you have to replay the whole game and make a manual save just to fight a boss again. The boss fights in these games are really fun and it's just a general pain to attempt to replay them. Also being able to redo berserker/valkyrie fights would be great too. Maybe after defeating one you can return to the area and re-do the fight, without getting resources from it of course.

The only thing I disagreed with on this personal wish list here. Was the new Greek weapon added to the game. The Blades of Chaos is the only Greek weapon I need from the newer God of War games. For one thing for the character of Kratos. The Blades of Chaos is a useful tool for him. Yet it is also a reminder to him. To never forget or become the Ghost of Sparta ever again. Secondly I thought how they handled The Blade of Olympus in Valhalla. I felt like they nerfed it. The Blade of Olympus was able to slice through enemies like butter in the older games. In God of Valhalla it wasn’t as effective.

I remembered RDR2 from reading this. There's main missions that drive the story forward and mostly filled with some action (as much as this type of game can provide action), but if you want to sink in and learn more about the characters, you can do side missions with them or hang around in camp, listening their dialogues... wait, GoW also does that. I think the main reason why Ironwood turned out the way it did is finishing the saga with one game. With more screen time given they could've achieved what they were going for with Ironwood less messy. As the director explained, they needed some time for Atreus and Angrboda, so their relationships didn't felt rushed and artificial, and i agree with him, so the problem really is that they just didn't had enough place for this. Cory clearly was setting up things for a trilogy with 2018, but then decided to end it with two games instead, i think that's the main mistake, because most of the other mistakes come from this one. I understand that mid production somewhere he realised that the story he wants to tell is taking too much time to make, but still i think if you started a saga with a pacing like this, you should keep it, finish it good, and already then start the next one with a faster pacing. But whatever, ranting about it now doesn't make things better. I hope the sacrifice of the overall Norse saga's quality is gonna worth it, and that they won't do the same mistake again.

I agree with all of them except for one. I don’t like the idea of Kratos changing his beard. Also if they keep the options for armor, it should be like GOW3. Full armor sets that you find as you go along in the story. And no options to change wrist or waist armor. Either you wear the full set or not. No mixing matching. Also the Camera angle in my opinion should be like Marvels Spider-Man. The camera is far from Spider-Man when you fight but you still have control over the camera. And when it is fixed, it’s for areas like in Sifu when you enter 2D sections. That happened in GOW3 when you fight Zeus.

Maybe in the next game they could not only expand on Atreus, but also play as other characters with their own movesets like Freya with Valkyrie powers or Týr with all of his Valhalla weapons

Camera is perfect for the gameplay. It's immersive and rewards positioning and awareness. It's your problem if you allow enemy to get behind you. The current camera rewards skills, and it's somehow realistic. Helmet thing is just dumb. They don't need to do anything, but do what they like, and not listen to anyone.

🗣️My opinion: Despite the fact that we love the new GOW series is the story, the new mechanics, new kratos, new lore, etc etc etc. But, I think deep down we all know why god of war was able to catch our eyes back then in the first place, yes its the blades of chaos Why did gow1 be so successful, its because of the fighting style of the blades of chaos, its the glowing trail of fire behind the blades while they circle around kratos damaging all nearby enemies I feel in the new version of gow, the range is heavily reduced like the weapons we liked in the old giw series are the ones with range. I mean who liked the hammer in gow2? And the combat as well, we can focus on 1 or 2 enemies at a time and damage them. Theres a satisfying feeling of damaging multiple enemies based on how we play and how we utilise the weapons Also the environment is too glowy as compared to the old gow series which makes the magical effects of the player, like the fiery glor of the blades of chaos or the icy glow of the leviathan axe. It camouflages in the environment and it looks too cluttered Also bring back the cyclone of chaos move istg❗

Great video, Kaptain! As a long time GOW fan since the very original game, I think the big one of me I'd love to see return is the spectacle boss battles! As much I loved 2018 and Ragnarok, the best we got in both of these games was Baldur's first fight in 2018; where you're watching the whole environment shatter around these two figures, with both displaying their god abilities at full tilt. Since then, however, where are they? The opening Thor fight in Ragnarok was entertaining enough, but come on, it's Thor! How the heck did he not have a spectacle fight that beats out Poseidon's?! Here is a god whose weapon can literally demolish entire mountains (in Norse mythology), a god who is famed for killing giants the size of skyscrapers (like Thamur), and the best we got was he flies in the air with Kratos for a little while before a meek battle in some random small arena with a few pillars? That seriously made me miss the old days of God of War 1-3, where you're battling these Titanic forces across an entire city and watching them destroy everything around you, with you barely surviving the onslaught yourself. Poseidon to this day still remains the GOW series' crown jewel for boss battles. I feel like the tease at the end of 2018 of Thor appearing at Kratos' house was kind of wasted... I expected this battle that would flatten their entire home and most of the surrounding forest. But we didn't get any of that. Worse yet, Odin's boss battle was even more tame. You just fight him in the exact same place you fight Thor, it felt rushed as 😕

Kratos from 2018 is beaten by his own son, he takes an arrow from his own son, and he is even beaten by Baldur at the beginning of the game and leaves crawling on the ground, the model is horrible, the face is generic and without expressions, he doesn't even Move your head to interact with the scenes and characters. Kratos from Ragnarok is more realistic and stronger, is he realistic, is his face realistic or he doesn't know what and does it have better graphics? Another point, Kratos from Ragnarok almost becomes the monster of the past twice in the game, in the fight against Thor and in the fight against Heimdall, he becomes furious twice in the game, when did he show this in 2018?
