God of War II - 5 Things It Did Right, And 5 It Did Wrong 

Soo...i watched the entire video and im still holding that popcorn in my hand, what do i do next?

Imagine if there was a cool chapter select system in this game where after you defeat zeus you could use the threads of fate to replay specific areas of the game like the kraken boss fight and then you would be able to go back and fight the kraken and to go back to chapter select you would need to click select and then there would be a new option "chapter select" and you could click that

"No game is perfect." THANK YOU! Seriously, more people need to hear that saying! ❤

You can really feel the passion Zesty has for this game and the franchise as a whole throughout this video, and it's that passion that makes for such fun and enjoyable content. Also, I agree, the soundtrack of GOW 2 is a certified banger!

12:36 to be honest I always wanted the choice to go back to any time I want with that mirror at the end💔😂

Broke: "the best cliffhanger in gaming" Woke: "the best hangover in media"

Glory of sparta and battle of perseus are my Favorite OST's in Gow 2

If they Made the L1O attack for the Blade of Olympus give you health, Rage and Magic, it'd be much better. The Translator in God Mode is very fun, I'd say.

My love for this franchise and the content from zesty , cupa and the others is eternal Thanks for the great content and ramdan kareem my brother.

7.38 what in the world is kaptain Kuba doing there 😂😂

7:38 damn kuba makeing me act up😏

FREYA OPEN THE DOOR

With you being such a combat focused guy I was surprised you didn't mention us going from three counter attacks in GoW to only one in GoW II. That has always been my biggest gripe with the game. It's a cool attack for sure, as is the Fleece in general, and being able to deflect projectiles was a great step forward, but having only one parry attack was a step backwards and adds an unnecessary limit to the combat. Thankfully they addressed this in GoW III (we still never got all three back though). I also didn't really like the changes they made to the ram/charge attack. In GoW you could use it as a finisher if you wanted but it could also be seamlessly woven into your string of combos. Hell, you could even use it to extend your combos further. Or do the exact opposite and use it as a nice shortcut to a powerful combo finisher (similar to the T, T, T and T, T, S moves).

This man will not shut up about Glory of Sparta, and I love it

Good, now there's one game left: GoW 3. And at least three things it got wrong are not hard to imagine: 1. OH being inconsistent; 2. Collisions not scaling with difficulty, as well as some (like those related to OH) not working at all; 3. Petrification being made much worse (e.g being unable to direct the gaze and magic costing too much). One could also criticize the magic system being now tied to weapons, though I didn't mind it, and the overall number of magic attacks is greater than in previous entries. Still a bit better than GoW 1 in spite of these problems, imo. All trilogy games are excellent imo.

My most favourite god of war game

My favourite part in this game is the ost specifically “Fires in the urn chamber” and the atlas part where you climb on him. I can’t find anything I dislike about this game and honestly in some cases god of war 2 is my favourite but that still goes to 3

1:03, Is that the main theme of GTA 3? Damn how cool

So this has nothing to do with this video but I thought it was cool. In God of War 4, when Kratos gets the blades of chaos and they start to power up with fire there is a very quiet sound which is the same sounds as when Kratos killed his wife and daughter

finally some quality content

Legendary intro, w video, w content, w channel, w zesty ❤

They should make enemies grab you more often , they should make qte quick and complex and enemies since they’re very easy should should block more often it will be so much better if the soldiers you fight have actual shields not magic Shields form gow1 shields that they can use one or twice and they should make archers move slightly away as you approche them

That's why it's the GOAT!

Came here after the stream 🗿

Lovely video. Going to watch in depth trilogy combat guide and massacre through this game for the 200th time probably.

I don't really have a nitpick with my Second favourite game of all time except the things u pointed out The music is just what can I say best of all time Glory of Sparta especially Colossus of Rhodes and Seize Ur fate

You uploaded as quick as you ended the stream. As expected.

It was enjoyable as always to hear your thoughts about a God of War game, it's a shame how toxic some fans are no matter how much of constructive criticism you show them. It doesn't take away how much they would like the game, nothing is perfect. And understanding it's flaws is always a good thing in general for stuff.

For the right side, you're right. For the wrong side, you're also right again. What's the point of that red orb sucking move that you most likely upgraded everything already?

You could say I almost completely agree with what you're saying here because I think the harpies part better fit into boring enemy category because from what you say you have your own problems with them I think it's more skill issued to me:) cause from what i see there are quite a lot of boring enemies like bulls rock and the Wraiths of Athens, trust me killing them takes extra time because of how they respond to movement like when it gets close to the bull it will do THE SPIN thing (the animation for that is so long) and for the wraith itself you almost can't barely iFrame them and making these three enemis I think is more fit in the category of boring enemies

I would love te see in the future the gallery of kuba

I have a few nitpicks 1. The cutscenes are inconsistent in some kratos won't have his blades and his golden fleece, and in the last boss fight with zeus,he has those golden blades at the start when retrieve the blade of Olympus 2. Not being able to use the golden Athena man, those blades are beautiful to use

In My Opinion God Of War 2 Is The Best And Perfect Sequel And Better Than 3 Zesty I Know You Like GOW 3 But Brother We have To Agree That 2 Is The Best Storywritten Game Of time Everything Was Perfect About The Sequel I Felt Bad After I Played 3 Just Like I Felt When I Played GOW RAGNARÖK.

Top 5 magic attacks

Back on ps2 I found orion harpon by myself 😂

God send me this video I'm getting a break from iron wood using this video

One thing I've noticed about the God of War franchise is that it's games are very similar in a way. God of War 2005 was praised by many people because of it's combat, story, characters, and tone. It had it's problems, but the things it did right far outweighed the bad. It also layed the foundation for future games to come. God of War 2018 was also praised by many because of it's story, characters, combat, and tone. It had many problems, but many content creators still acknowledges it's greatness. It built the foundation that the future game(s) would be based around God of War 2 expanded on God of War 1 by adding extra bosses, new enemies, and unknown locations. It also tweaked the puzzles with a time device and expanded on the combat with new weapons (barbarian hammer, spear of destiny) and new mechanics ( parry system, and slightly different magic attacks). The main antagonist was Zeus, who was a popular Greek God and was known by many people. It's story was very simple, but the journey that you venture on is far more important than the destination God of War: Ragnarok also expanded on God of War 2018 by adding extra bosses, enemies, and locations. It would then "remodel" the combat by adding a new weapon (draupnir spear) and new mechanics ( frost awaken and flame whiplash). The story was sophisticated (much like God of War 3) but is praised by many. It's main villain was Odin who was a popular Norse God and can be recognized by anyone. Since the Norse saga was split into 2 chapters, whilst the Greek saga was split into 6 chapters (not counting God of War: Betrayal), the story in Greece definetely feels larger and more tension-filled. One of many things that is different in both the Greece and Norse sagas is Kratos. If you pay attention very closely to Kratos' arc or journey in Greece, you will notice that he progressively becomes the villain of the story. In God of War: Ascension, you will see that Kratos is nicer and more friendly to others. But, as the games progress and Kratos is denied, betrayed to, lied to, and even killed, you will see that his rage starts fueling over the course of the series, until finally culminating in God of War 3. In God of War 2018, Kratos is trying to escape his past and be a commited father to Atreus. But, as his venture to Jotunheim continues, he starts to see his younger self in everyone around him: Baldur and Atreus. There is even a point in the story where Kratos has to recover the Blades of Chaos and save his son from death. When he retrieves the Blades, Athena and Zeus both haunt him again and again. At the end of the game, Kratos tries to save Baldur from himself, but ultimately kills him to save Freya. In both norse games, Kratos is provoked to kill someone: Baldur and Heimdall, because they try to harm Atreus. Basically, his arc in the Norse games is to "be better" for the sake of Atreus, Faye, and himself.

12:34 welp there goes your monitization

We need a comparision seies like for example : God of war 1 vs god of war 2018 ( best things and the worst thing comparing each other )

I really wish you still had the option to redirect OH like in GOW 1, it would have made pain+ runs more fun IMO

bro mentions a popcorn while am fasting

Zesty I have found something you can Hyperion ram, into Nigghog I discovered it when fighting her in Ng+

Very good analysis and factual video. By the way How is Clotho not in the wrong list in GOW2? Also the clones are an additional stuff I would add in the wrong list for GOW1

I think the best way to play gow 1 and 2 is through rpcs3 because you can skip cutscenes and you can also play in 60 fps 4k (I play on upscaled 1080p) and trophies are supported too, I think same goes for origins collection but not for ascension and gow 3, for gow 3 the best is ps4 and ps5 (you can skip cutscenes in rpcs3) and for ascension its either ps3 or rpcs3 if you have a nasa super computer

this game has no errors, is perfect 🐐🐐🐐🐐

one thing that always annoyed me is the rage of the titans, why cant i block while using it. I tried playing the game on Titan difficulty recently for the first time and i barely used the rage. I used blocking heavily for defence so being restricted to only dodging during rage of the titans made me barely use it since i would just loose to much health otherwise, also it fucked up the fun of just never loosing my combo meter in bonus play since i had to leave rage of the titans to reflect at some walls and to slow time.

Hey zesty i got some news in new game plus you can play as kratos and Thor as companion in nifhileim training mode

The thing that ACTUALLY makes gow 2 is the words of the high priest “ES ROBENTOS DILES TES!!!!!!”

My boy zesty pointing out the flaws with the translator feels like a love letter to me cuz I fucking hated that part. Also zesty if u see this I watch all your videos not just the one I commented on before. 😎

Zesty which software do you edit in? Really good stuff

When you walk into your parents room at night: 20:56

Those gotdamn harpies

So this is what zesty was cooking

This is BEFORE watching the vid. I played it on titan mode, and got just 3 actual complaints: 1. The protect the translator section. There's no check point between the actual translator section and the last wave of enemies. It makes it clearing the section tedious and problematic to just practice that section. There's some bosses that turn into a hellish nightmare that doesn't have to be due to not having check points, such as Theseus and Euryle. Their fights would be just great if they didn't make you restart the entire thing cause you messed up for a sec right before getting the last QTE. (This also applies for the last corridor before the gates to the last moir. Like, at least let me save HERE, don't make me go through the entire thing again!) 2. That all the bosses got overly long on titan. Everyone overstaid their welcome con titan, even lakhesis (which to me is the best boss fight in the game). 3. Perseus. I hate his fight. It's just annoying in the titan mode.

There's one nitpick I have and itself kratos's face, I'm not sure why but it looks funny to me

15:02 NOW I KNOW THAT GAIA IS THE EVER PRESENT MOTHER OF THE EARTH WITH 3 DILDOS 😂😂😂

4:18 what move is that , we're u throw the legeneaire (idk how to type it ) to that minator with fire axe (I don't remember the names of some enemies)

The bonus play makes the game too easy, even if this is the proposal for a new game, I don't like to kill an enemy with one or two hits, I like to test new combinations of combos using magics and weapons at the maximum level , but if the enemy dies too fast I think it's boring, maybe I would like it better if the ng+ of god of war was a little similar to that of dark souls.

i can tolerate every wrong in this game except the translator part and checkpoints

Bro I Needed That Popcorn😢

Haha kaptain kuba 😂

And you can kill the translator with the dog by the circle button. The problem is if you are playing no damage and get the whole section with out damage and that stupid translator dies and you who killed him. Man that would be the worse scenario in my opinion.

I can skip cutscenes The condition is to play on a difficulty that you finished the game on before By clicking X Idk if its just a thing for my version

what if you could use hyperion ram on the sisters of fate fight

He said 3rd favorite God of war

Zesty can you please do one for gow 3 my favorite game

me too

god of war needs a boss gauntlet or something like sekiro has

3:22 >the R-word Don't know if this was done on purpose, but well said.

Do gow 3 please

Waiting for gow3

We actually got the cutscene slip 5 months after release, not 7...

All gow 2 needs is not story, nor combat, nor art style, but It needs sieze your fate, fire in the urns chamber, typhons mountain, and the crossings of the lowlands, and boom, best game ever.

The problem that I have in god of war 2 is weapon swapping it's slow. Ever time I have to swap the weapon I have go In the upgrade menu. I'm not saying make it faster like g 3 make it like dmc3 where I can hold the bumper and swap the weapon in mid combo.

F Gg video. Real nostalgia hits man.

What about the title music of gow2

can i eat the popcorn now

when gow1 ign guide?

The update for ragnarok came after 5months not 7

Man They should have brought you instead of Christopher Judge with that kinda of voice acting Also when is the next hot takes video?

What about god of war 3 video about 5 good and worst thing

God Of War 3 Part coming soon?

Mans not allowed to eat the popcorn because it's ramadan

Man fuck those harpies. Those were the second hardest enemies for me in that game

16:35 DADDY!!! 😍 my boyfriend from June 😂

Did you play it on a console or a PC? I've been trying for so long to play the GoW games, up to Ascension, on PC but I can't figure out what PC specs can play them. Please, any ideas?

God of War 2 is better than the God of War 3 (i like GOW 3 too, but GOW 2 is better), my favorite gow game

There is one thing what i have problem with any god of war calssic and why it's not masterpeace and funny enought...it's about combat...I KNOW I KNOW BUT...HEAR ME OUT FOR MOMENT! First magic metter...why this can't regenerate by fighting for example by colisions? If i'm already forced to use colisions...and thats next problem...it limits combat expression You can and you should using hombrew cancelling and frame advantages...but that should't suppose to be the case Allow even on using bigger magic resource...just make it regeneratable so i be felling powerfull because i'm good at game insteed of felling like i'm powerfull because i'm seted to be...resource managment gets new deepnes here Same with colisions...best decision of gow 3 was to free combat from colisions Also...ramming in gow 3 shows big problem with...almoust all the install of series Combat isn't proff on broken tactics or reppeating most efficient tactics...compare this to dmc where you need to be quick always and mayby you have some combos what you can loop and get sss...but enemies and also your tools are more flexible Also hitboxes are bit wierd in gow Imagine that dmc have limited pistol ammo...gow is same case

This comment is before I watch the video, God of War II can't possibly contain something wrong

هلو اخوية شلونك اكلك انت تحجي عراقي لا

GoW 2 is my favorite GoW, 3 is a close 2nd tho

Wtf bruh where tf u get that pic of kaptain kuba?!

Gow 3

I don't think you can even beat the game with button mashing on anything higher then normal difficulty, at least not without losing all your hair in the process.

the archers are one of the most annoying enemies of that game.

how bout God of War 3?

First

titan difficulty is TOO HARD that's whats wrong and that's it

Unpopular opinion if this game had less puzzles and more action i would have enjoyed it more
