So yeah, if ya'll ever wondered why Kratos was so hesitant at telling Atreus about his past and true nature, I think this game tells you why.

"Do they not tell the tortoise and the hare story in Greece?" Ironically that is one of the stories that Kratos tells his son in GOW4 before we pick up Mimir. Kratos implies that he knew Aseop personally and heard the stories first hand! So to answer your question, yes! 🙂

Hermes was also considered the god of medicine so when he kills him all the sicknesses in the world escape

I always felt Kronos saying “who else could?” Was more of a nod that he understands just how powerful kratos is at this point. The gods never killed them only trapped them away or forced them into labor while kratos actually finished the job with one of the oldest beings of all time and Kronos felt a respect or even a sort of genetic pride at this. Being the grand son and all

Just a small note to add to the few gods Kratos doesn't kill, and that's Artemis. She shows up in game 1 to give him a weapon and then we never hear or see from her again in the series.

TC Carson was such a good, violent Kratos and I for sure think he could've pulled off more mature Kratos, although I really like Christopher Judge in the role. Wish the working relationship ended better and maybe one day he could return and face Judge as sort of a mirror Kratos is another game.

The 2D section of Zeus boss fight is made all the more impactful as you see Olympus crumble in the background during the fight. Zeus fighting to hold on to his power even as the bastion of it literally collapses all around him. Could also be said that it was visually representative of all the destruction Kratos brought on them.

One win I wish you'd added, was that Kratos actually holds no ill will against Hephaestus. He's one of the few Gods I'd wager Kratos feels bad for killing, but completely understands his reasoning. Kratos threatened his daughter, and Hephaestus did what any father would do, try and stop his killer. Kratos even comments on it afterwards. It's such a good little moment that speaks volumes about how Kratos views fatherhood as well.

TC Carson's kratos is amazing and I really wish that he's and santa Monica's relationship ended in a better way. Even though I think Christopher judge was the better pick for older and calmer kratos he is amazing

The Gaia punch through Posiedon was one of the coolest game moments ever.

26:17 Awesome little detail... you can see Pandora trying to reach the Flame of Olympus in the background

it’s a shame you didn’t win Poseidon with his outstanding line when he finally shows himself “YOU CHALLENGE ME MORTAL? A GOD OF OLYMPUS!” that’s epic right there

What I did like about GoW3 was what it revealed towards the end. The revelation that Kratos is responsible for all of his own misery. When he opened the box way back in GoW1 he released all the evils of the Titans out into the world. They latched onto the Olympians and caused them to be evil, thus ensuring his further suffering. Now this isn't to say that Zeus and Co weren't always dicks. One only needs to look at any Greek myth to see that plain as day. However without those evils than they wouldn't have been so murderous towards Kratos, likely just leaving him alone for the most part.

Here faster than kratos beating Hercules Been waiting for this one chad🗿thank you fam

I would love it if you did a video on God of War 1 and God of War 2!!! They're such amazing games that deserve their own video

It’s amazing how well this game holds up today

“He seems like a calm and reasonable person”

You should do sly cooper next bro that franchise is so underrated a masterpiece of a franchise.

16:48 Kratos never killed Apollo, his half-brother or Artemis, his half-sister. I also depressingly love at the end, before you start punching Zeus to kill him, the corruption leaves him and he returns to normal. Sadly, Kratos does not let him talk again.

13:46 has to be the best we’ve seen from Kratos, being comedic and sarcastic

The GOW series is the best way tp redeem an irredeemable character, We've seen Kratos at his worse and we've seen Kratos at his best. For Atreus he want to not make the same mistakes that he made with his first family.

When kratos yells to zues “ Put her down!” I always get chills from that. Idk why it’s great

This game actually has quite an excellent voice cast For example: Zeus is voiced by Corey Burton (who actually voiced him in Disney's Hercules) Poseidon is voiced by Gideon Emery Hades is voiced by Clancy Brown Helios is voiced by Crispin Freeman (who has done some voice work in the spin-off GoW games) Hephaestus is voiced by Rip Torn Hermes is actually voiced by Greg Ellis, not Adrienne Barbeau (she is the voice of Hera) Daedalus is voiced by Malcolm McDowell

I wonder if there’s going to be an everything great about bioshock

odin: you a mortal wants to kill a mighty god-like me HA don't make me laugh. karatos: why do i feel like i heard that a lot before

20:55 it’s only after looking back at a cutscene video did I realize that the hand Kronos is holding is Gaia’s which is how he assumed Kratos killed her. Shows how much I payed attention after the many times I watched these cutscenes

i think the shift from Carson to Judge for kratos was, as much as this hurts to say, a smart choice. Hes a changed kratos from what we remember. So having a new voice actor for a tame more stoic speaking kratos was the right way to go.

27:59 so when I played I didn't know it wouldn't stop until you didn't so I was there doing it for like 5 mins thinking it would end

Really wish you gave it a win for having Poseidon’s POV when we kill him. Really shows how terrifying and unstoppable Kratos seems to the gods

This is still one of my favorite gaming stories of all time. How someone hasn't cast gerard butler as Kratos and made this into a movie is crazy to me

I legitimately finished this game not long ago. Amazing timing

This game is unforgettable. I played this when i was 6 (my brother warned me and played for me at the nude parts) its so good i remember everything about it. This game has a special place in my heart and without a doubt will be on the top 5 games ive played.

only real legends know this video was reuploaded i can say thats a win point for me right there

I had a really bad day today and in the evening (I live in Germany) I felt down, but then I saw this Video in my subscribtions tab and was hyped and happy to seed this video. Thanks GamingWins for making my day

This is possibly one of the greatest things to come from the cinemasins hogwash. A new wave of people looking at movies and games with the objective of pointing out all the great things. Not much positivity around nowadays so I absolutely love watching these videos. Great work on it too, the quality of the video is highly apparent here.

7:50 still the most satisfying QTE button press ever!

16:50 at least his sister Artemis and Afrodite are alive

It be interesting to see what you think of the Transformers: Cybertron games, at least the first two. If your a fan of Transformers, there two of the best games for it

I haven’t thought about Sharkboy and Lavagirl in like 15 years…I’m honestly impressed there are people who remember it

charechter of kratos is done perfectly. From a vengeful spirit to an father looking for redemption

16:49 Kratos also spared Aphrodite, Hestia, Demeter, Artemis and Apollo

Ragnorok is going to be so good. I can't wait, because it was confirmed that Kratos was holding back his strength throughout the entirety of GoW 4, Mjolnir is as good as ours.

I first played god of war with my dad when i was about 8 or 9 and ive played through all of them with him and it was always our bonding game and we were so excited when we saw that 2018 was coming out, we would look at gameplays and trailers and constantly check release dates for it but he died reacently and im kinda sad that we wont be able to play ragnorok

When it comes to voice actors, they both are perfect for what they did. TC Carson was brilliant, and its a shame of what happened to him not even being called by santa monica, but Christopher judge is perfect for the more mature and calmer kratos. both did exactly what they were meant to do, perfectly

I would love for Santa Monica to bring back TC Carson in some way in ragnarok. Have him be some other character or something

9:37 We actually got to see this in Ascension, when Kratos was reunited with Orkos at the end of the game. That said, both are great in their own right. T.C. is fantastic as the rage-induced Kratos. Judge is great as the more calm and relatively collected Kratos.

by far my favorite god of war in both gameplay and story and even bosses

25:09 Holy shit; I’ve known about this game for nearly 7 or so years and never noticed he changed his outfit! Interesting detail!

“How many people do you want kratos to kill?” “Yes.”

I have enjoyed every GoW game I've played. The original games tell this amazing story of a man who was wronged by others and himself, and seeks revenge, while the newer games speak of a father trying to attone for his past, knowing that he can never forget it. It's just such an amazing series that I hope everyone gets to try at least one.

I find it hilarious when kratos slowing starts punching people then the camara switches and makes him punching faster

With you covering GoW now, I'd think it'd also be a good chance to cover the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow games some time soon. It's also quite fitting, with Kratos and Gabriel/Dracul having plenty of similarities.

Ah maybe this was before Kevin Sorbo went absolutely batshit insane. Neat.

Can you please do inFAMOUS 1 or 2 please? Those are my favourite

This is perfectly timed I just finished this game a couple minutes ago

I hope you do Prince of Persia The 2 Thrones one day or any of the other games of Prince of Persia. It’s such an amazing franchise I hope they make a remaster one day!😭

congrats on getting a sponsor man, totally deserved, i hope ur channel gets more exposure cuz ur vids is the shit.

Kratos: *kills both Poseidon and Hades back to back at the start of the game* literally every lesser god of the game: *thinks they can beat Kratos in a fight to the death*

26:16 I've just realised. Whilst you beat the shite out of Zeus, you can see Pandora moving towards the box in the background. Nice touch.

I would love for you to do one of the yakuza games I think you would love that series

I can't watch this with serious face, everytime I hear the *ting* sound I am crying and laughing at the same time

There are actually no pre rendered cut scenes in GOW3. Everything is rendered real time. Santa Monica studios stated they did this to have minimal differences in quality from cut scenes to gameplay.

It's my favorite gaming franchise, have platinum all with the exception of Ascension the only that I didn't like that much to play multiple times. I really don't have a preference. I think they had the perfect approach for Greek mythology, a mythology more focused on characters archetypes that places. Having a really focused and simple narrative of Greek tragedy and vengeance, that made a conscious effort given the hardware limitations of the time in telling a fulfilling story in a action game removing as little control of the player hand as possible (the reason to use QTE in boss finishes instead of letting the character do the finish alone in the cutscenes like game like Devil May Cry did). It was the perfect action game from the PS2 era, that got a excellent finish on the PS3. That being said 7 games with fundamentally the same mechanic got me burnout in ascension. I wanted a change in direction but one that honored what came before. They did that with 4, it has the same elements but mixed a bit the proportion of it on the product. The focus on a more intimate narrative and in a "journey" was a good fit with Norse mythology that is a mythology much more about places (the realms) than people (people are important too, but not like the Greek mythology). Also the tech today allows for "interactive cutscenes" in a much more organic way than could be done on the PS2. So they can have as much dialog as Metal Gear but you don't need to put the control down for 10 minutes or more at a time. Video-game will always be a medium that change with the new options afforded by evolution in technology.

Fun fact in a book in perspective of mimir its revealed kratos is cursed to be incapable of taking his own life

I love that last line you gave us "Drink water, drive the speed limit, and love one another.. Pizza!"

I recently subscribed to this channel simply because it feels good to listen to people gush about the entertainment medium we love. Any channel can complain about a game, but to throw endless roses at a game, simply because...excellent.

15:43 guess you could see he didn’t SEE that one coming

Played the remaster of this too, gave some perspective on the puzzles in 4 since I was playing in reverse. The minigames were interesting in concept but annoying in execution, especially with the sparse checkpoint system. That said, defeating Hermes was *especially* satisfying when I finally got the rhythm down.

He also doesn't kill Demeter, Hestia, Artemis, Apollo (replaced with Helios), and more. We know Artemis and Apollo exist in this mythos through the first game and alternate skins.

omg am so happy u got a big sponsor ;) i found u pretty reccently but i love your vidoes thank you man

God of war really does something to me, every time i see this game i get hyped to replay a GoW game

This was one of the first games I bought with my own money growing up in high school when it had just released and let me tell you, it was one hell of an experience.

I know you probably get inundated with game requests but I would absolutely LOVE for you to cover Yakuza 0, if not the whole Yakuza series

I still remember my friend tell me Sony was planning a hack & slash like devil may cry, but base in Greek mythology. I was sold then and I can’t wait for Ragnarok nearly 20 years later. What a wild ride!

2 years ago, when I got my 3rd hand PS4 with some games, the first game I played on it was God Of War 3 Remastered, which was also my first GoW game. Even though I knew nothing about the games prior, I really, really loved 3, which made me really interested in 4

The story of god of war is so fucking good.

Absolutely love these, would love to see you do the Uncharted franchise if you get the chance

Yuhhh been waitin for this one, Turn it up!

The camera angle is what actually made me like the og gow games, also makes me miss the regular combat since it didn't change for 6 games and only improved

When we getting Everything Great About hellblade senua’s sacrifice?

Love yer damn content and positivity expecally in today's day and age

Just found your channel yesterday and have been binge watching these videos much love to you

It's amazing to see the brutal counter is quickly able to reach and pass the regular wins so fast.

After all these years the game never seize to amaze me. 13:45 Me too.

17:57 love that jab at the mail service LMAO

I just left a comment on one of your posts a day ago saying I would love a video about God of War 3 so, thanks!

With Gia asking Kratos "do I mean nothing to you?", did she really think/expect Kratos to easily forget/forgive/brush off what she did/say to him earlier? I mean, what she says to him before disposing him, I don't think that someone like Kratos would forget/forgive/brush off that easily, even I picked up on that months ago when I played the game for the one time I played the game. Also, with 18:15 I never picked up on the idea that that tune you play is the God of War theme. Also, huge pain in the rear for me to do, it took me probably more then 5 Times to do. Edit: also, the thing with the fixed camera and some hating it, while it is true that I do hate the fixed camera, but, there are are times in the 2018 game that I wish there 'was' a fixed camera or an option to switch it to a fixed camera, Because, frankly, there are times that the user movable camera gets to the point where it becomes a huge pain in the rear. Edit: ok, looking back on this video, I had a thought, the model that the game developers used for pandora, I'm not saying she looks ugly, but in My perspective/opinion, the model really doesn't look good nor did it age well at all. Edit: ok, coming back on this video roughly 4 or more months later and noticing the dead pool reference mentioned by the narrator, I do think that Kratos is just this games version of Kenny from South park, where Kratos dies and comes back later angrier. Edit: with what I mentioned about with the option to switch the camera in the God of War 4 (or maybe 7 depending on how many games you count in between God of War 3 and the 2018 revision) was that I wish that there a setting that allowed you to toggle between locked on and user rotatable camera, because in certain instances such as fights, I definitely wish that that option existed. Edit: 7:02 I never even noticed that ares was there. Edit: of coming back to this video again, with what I said about Gias line about "do i mean nothing to you?", i think when Gia said to Kratos about him just being a simple pawn and nothing more, that and I think at that point Kratos realized his mistake about bringing all the titans back from the past and that Gia quickly betrayed him and put him on the back burner in terms of priorities really got to him. Also, with what the narrator said about the fixed camera and what I also mentioned, at times in the 4th 2018 game, I do wish that there was a in menu toggle option to switch the camera from being a 360 user-controlled camera to a fixed camera on the fly, because I ended up finding myself fighting with the camera at times, more so in fights/battles where the player has to focus on the fight and not fight with the camera as well. Edit: 13:17 ha ha☺️, good point. Edit: 20:50 I think I killed a few birds in the video clip you provided failing to understand what I was supposed to do using the blades.

Son, why is nobody saying how the stone you get from cronos is basically a kidney stone?!?!?!

Fun fact the cutscenes in this game were pre-rendered but they were rendered with the same assets used in gameplay and this game is one of they very first games to not have separate assets for cutscenes and gameplay

Mr Tc Carson voice as kratos in God of war 3 was incredible WITH the story and Journey and boss fight and the quick time events OMG WHAT A GAME to play Mr Tc Carson as kratos just killed it in THAT game

LETS GOOOO, ANOTHER BANGER

So, I want to know why Apollo was never in these games. He's mentioned (kind of) but never shows up. Since he was Athena's brother, you'd think he would have had beef with Kratos. Also, he was my favorite god. Also also, I was named after him.

I absolutely adored the first phase of the Zeus fight. And honestly wish it was all in 2D, since it was easily the most fun phase in the fight. It worked surprisingly well, and really reminded me of Raven Beak from Metroid Dread. With both being difficult final bosses, and having surprisingly similar attacks

My uncle introduced me to GOW when i was young after my dad passed away. It became a way for us to bond because i was learning about greek mythology by the time the second one came out and i had already played the first one so many times. He pre-ordered GOW3 and it came with the awesome Pandora's box set with the art book and everything. My sister and i would spend every other weekend with him and our grandma, so when he got his copy he let me sit down and play it and i was blown away by every single part of this game. Seeing everything Kratos did just for revenge was and absolute thrill to see from beginning to end. I remember mashing the circle button for like 20 minutes straight when punching Zeus in the face at the end. It was also beautiful to see that after killing Zeus, Kratos finally looked around and saw what he had done; Kratos the god killer was gone, and Kratos the man was reborn. Overall, gameplay/story wise this one and the original are my favorites out of the entire series.

When your actually first also love everything you do your voice is very calming

Epic game for the third installment with defeating multiple gods and titans to extinction. Thanks for showing everyone one of my favorite game series

Love the content your God of War 2018 video was all I needed to see to subscribe, would you ever consider doing some of the Devil May Cry series if you are a fan of the games

Man i just wanna say i love you bro! Keep the good work

I may be the only one on this but I do miss the breakdowns you do at the end of the winning like with last of us part 2 and your other earlier vids. It was always nice to get a break down perspective from another point of view.
