God of War (Zero Punctuation) 

yeah but it's not the only one it's the only decapitation that you have to do

To be fair, that guy gets decapitated then revived in the mythology too.

Yeah but that makes it hilarious

“God of War Ragnarok: This time, there’s non-consensual decapitation”

“I hate other people. Kill them all! Ooh! Some tits! Let’s take a quick break from senseless violence to play with them,” sounds like Yahtzee in a nutshell so I agree.

And now he has a child. Time does funny things.

@@FrozenGoblin Oh, there's a little Yahtzee? How cute!

@@mikshinee87 the kid just turned one this January. I went to look for a name, but on Yahtzee's wikipedia page under children, it just says "Yes".

Kefka Palazzo I agree. I think Thor is going to kick Kratos’s ass at the very beginning of the sequel and kidnap his son. Giving Kratos a reason to go on a murder spree through Norse Mythology. Kratos might even recover his son very quickly to preserve the character dynamic, but we all know once Kratos starts a good murder spree he just can’t stop!

Kefka Palazzo they said they’re planning 5 games. The new director or whatever sound pompous as hell

imeize Oh yes indeed, it's like pringles, once you pop, you can't stop :P

Ivan Rogers II Ok, hadn't heard of that, but that's quite a bit. My guess is that they wont all be linear, I think 2 of them will be like, spin-off's/prequels, to flesh out the story a bit more. Like seeing Kratos' earlier life with his wife etc.

Ivan Rogers II Pompous? Isn't this the fastest selling game on the PS4? It's been wildly successful. Why wouldn't they assume there would be interest for sequels?

It's not. That's his voice actors actual voice.

@@xcellentcreations3312 Are you sure it's not God of Boy?

To be fair if it was made by other companies he would be rigth

I don’t know if this helps things, saving for a DLC pack or saving for another game have the same effect on this game.

@@extremetoast5723 More than saving for the sequel Its they planted the seed for the sequel

@@extremetoast5723 this is literally how stories have been told forever. I feel like it’s grossly unfair to be mad at this game for setting up the second half of its story lol. Like it’s pretty clear that there’s a larger story to be told than one that can fit in a single game.

@@toastydeadfrogs453 I'm not mad at the game - I'm pointing out that the game saving content for DLC or a sequel doesn't void the criticism - that criticism being that the story of the game feels incomplete.

And I kinda love how this game has glaring criticisms and you’re defending 10/10 reviews with praises such as “the game of the generation” and “it should be experienced by every human on the earth”

FBI Every game has it's flaws. But out of curiosity what are these glaring criticisms you're talking about? What didn't you like?

And I also kinda love how you are assuming his opinion.

$ony fanboys hate that this review isn't "100/10 GAME OF DUH YEAR BEST THING EVER" like all the other paid reviews lol. . .

thunder cleez Man if anyone gave this game a 100/10 I’d probably be more flabbergasted at their math then happy they like a game I like.

That itself made me like Kratos more than the GoW games

Dad of war

The creator stated there will be no DLC, and he has at least 5 games planned.

Victor Rico my lord, that makes the ending even worse then.

How?

Antichrist2000 ps5 will be out in two years in 2020, so the next god of war will likely be out between 2021-2023. think you confused what I was saying.

+Victor Rico Thats also not true. He said that he has 5 games worth of ideas in his head, he never said anything about having 5 more games planned.

But there's also moves for holding as well. Although, going through it again, the Holding R1 attack is not very good, and it can mess up your spacing during backwards-evade R1 (which is _quite_ good). I just didn't buy that upgrade this time around.

Solkahn yeah but I don't think there are hold moves in combos. Like R1 then hold R1.

I just think the required pause was too long. There's a lot of enemies in the game with very quick attacks in addition to usually being outnumbered and surrounded. The delayed combos are rarely worth the vulnerability

Never seen him actually. Always meant to back in the day but never got around to it.

No one expects the Jimquisition

Dad of BOI

Yes, bless him for coming up with such obvious-as-fuck but nonetheless brilliant comedy.

I don't think so. He was slightly less negative about Breath of the Wild.

It's going to be on the not-bland-enough-for-the-bland-list-list

Breath of the Wild video isnt here

Red Dead Redemption was a fairly positive review if memory serves. Also, this game is boring, doesn't even fit into its own series (why not make an original ip at that point?), and tries too hard to be cinematic. That's not what I look for in a hack n slash named "God of war"

@@darkartsdabbler2407 Have to disagree with you there. God of War has always, at the very least, had cinematic moments.

random person they're also more well written and concise compared to other more negative reviews.

I ditto, I never write an angry comment on his videos, I don't feel the need to. If I agree, I agree, if I don't I still find him funny.

I watch them to see his opinion and them I compare it with mine. Of course he's wrong every time but hey :) jk

I finished the game with an opinion that couldn't be more different than his, but hating a critic for not having an identical taste to you is just stupid.

Most of the time he just hates the game for humor sake. I like how creative he gets with it.

lesslighter its as simple as walking a country over. Its not so much as realms but that they are literally in their own pieces of land in the world

i cant picture someone killing everything and everyone for 3 games straight, then becoming "old and tired". you ever heard of a rockstar not dying of a drug overdose but instead making country music in their old age? i havent

Pillsbury DoughBane There’s middle line you idiot

Jack Grayson He should have died by the end of gow3 and if he survived he wouldn’t get married or become father

and died before as well.

Jack Grayson and you remember how that last family went right? Yeah sorry I don't see another family happening after you MURDERED your last one, regardless of Ares' mind control or whatever

Well, that's not really his point. He thinks that Kratos before the reboot is more interesting because that version kicks ass. You can have a humanized Kratos without going for the "responsible adult" angle. After all, that comment about God of War III was made in comparison to the first game, which had a Kratos that was still angry and childish, but also had a clear motivation, which helped to somewhat humanize him. p.s.: I don't necessarily agree with him, I just don't like the way you misconstrued his opinions.

So basically what drew you into the game was not knowing or experiencing the characters or the tone as they were concieved. I guess it's kind of like someone liking MK Annihilation or Dragon Ball Evolution if they've never played MK or read/watched Dragon Ball.

@@ASR-Ansori The developers themselves described Kratos as a villain by GoW 3, and that was what turned me off the original series. I'm not a big fan of having a main character that makes things worse by the end, or makes the villains seem the lesser of two evils in comparison. So I see it more like someone enjoying Dragon Ball Z without having seen the original Dragon Ball. They both have different styles, and it's ok to like one over the other.

@@cybertramon0012 You are aware the GoW developers were guys who always had fun and liked to joke around, right? If you don't see stuff for yourself, you can't really have an opinion on it. Kratos has earnest sympathetic moments all throughout the original trilogy, especially GoW1. There's no point in liking the older, calmer Kratos if you aren't familiar with the path he took to get there (and honestly, the original series bothers a lot more with development than GoW4 where it all happens off-screen and the story isn't even about him lol). There's character progression throughout the original games. And honestly, you miss out on a lot of good stuff from DB if you just watch DBZ.

​@@ASR-Ansori Look, I just don't like OG Kratos. I doubt I ever will, because I don't like his motivation in GoW 2 and 3. I don't like that he cared more about destroying Olympus and getting his revenge on the gods than the people who died as a consequence of his actions. And I certainly didn't like it when he crushed Poseidon's mistress just to hold open a door. I accept that you enjoyed them, but I enjoyed GoW 4 for it's more sedate tone.

You mispelled "B O I".

Sashrunner listen dumbass just bc the camera is over the shoulder doesnt mean the game isnt a hack n slash

dope malone You just reminded me that there is still Dynasty Warriors, so there might be two left. I think the new GOW would make a good adventure game series. Still wouldn't call it a hack-n-slash though. Maybe the next the sequel, but not this one. =/

I've read this comment on like five fucking videos. Either you're everywhere or this is turning into copypasta

That's not even that weird why is it a meme, I fucking hate people.

It's cause being negative is Yahtzee's thing so he's not taken as seriously.

I think you missed the point chum.

Mentally underdeveloped people watch Caddicarus. That should explain the issue

Never watched Caddicarus but different audiences garner different reaction and the way the reviewer's general attitude also influences people, not to mention their actual delivery of their opinion. Yahtzee is usually amusing so people will take more criticisms before exploding but you're right he does have quite a few people bouncing on his schlong

A 24-minute serious review from some guy who's self-absorbed enough to make a 24-minute serious review vs a five minutes review from a comedy writer/producer whose entire schtick, and indeed job established over a decade ago, is to be irreverent and critical about even the most excellent games. Croshaw's product is comedy, Caddicarus' product is talking about games, and I've never been on board with people having an actual career based on that. Croshaw is an exception because he could be pointing out the flaws in basically anything and still be funny, whereas Caddicarus would be unlikely to draw attention doing the same thing. He's just... another one of those games reviewers. So I guess that's why. Also, "nutter" is for cunts. True Brits prefer insults like "spoon", "radish", "fucknut", "absolute hedge" and "roaster", you roaster

He'd need to come the first time, first.

Late comment but, yeah, i liked the story very much but the gameplay was kinda meh, i understand that mushroom heads can survive one bullet to the head but the regular ones do to? Yeah, that's kinda dumb

cnwarry Mushroom heads do, regular ones don’t. Maybe you were hitting their necks? I found the story to be amazing and the gameplay was solid stealth, strategic shooter depending on your play style and difficulty.

@@jmurray1110 Perhaps you meant to reply to the original poster?

Grabnok The Destroyer same. I actually quit playing GOW after 3 cause Kratos was just a whiny bitch to me.

DelanoHuntress ...wasn’t 3 the last one??? Or was Ascension after that? I forget.

@@Grab_N001 Ascension came after.

Grabnok The Destroyer I agree. And I also felt that it makes sense as a character arc that after years of senseless slaughter and impassioned revenge, Kratos was fucking tired of it and wanted to live a peaceful life. Anyone would get tired of that and want to settle down. It was a reasonable and understandable evolution that makes him more relatable.

The devs expressly stated they could tended 150 enemies at a time It’s just a stupid gimmick they added

window wax It's almost as if I passed over a hundred of those before seeing this one...

Well, don't repeat the mistakes of the prequels fo the sake of a homage... That's just stupid.

Juan Jaramillo "Nothing really happened in the first god of war." That was the game Kratos became God of War, did you even play it?

James Killjoy you really need to learn to read comments. You only fight against Ares and the hydra there is no other huge boss fight like in GOW 2 and GOW 3. But Yathzee acts like he should've killed Thor in the first game. Even of he already killed both his sons Magni and Modri.

+Juan Jaramillo In God of War 1 you save Athens and kill Ares, completing both Kratos' personal vendetta against the God of War and his redemption quest for the Olympian Gods in the process. Everything in that game was building up to the resolution of that conflict and Ares as an antagonist was a rogue-god serving his own interests. Honestly, with the exception of God of War 2 and 3, all the games in the franchise so far have focused on telling a selfcontained stories first and foremost, barely hinting at a larger overarching narrative of brooding conflicts between Kratos and entities he is working for here and there. In this new God of War it's obvious from the start, that the game's main antagonist Baldur is nothing but a middle-man, with game constantly reminding us how Odin and Thor are the true villains and sources of conflict behind him and the cliffhanger at the very end only serves the purpose of further rubbing it in our faces how badly the actual conflict of the story is left unresolved by the end. Also you forgot Pandora's Guardian and Medusa were also boss-battles in the first game, even if the latter was more of a mini-boss type of deal. Granted, it doesn't really take anything away from your point, but just thought I'd mention it.

God of War 1 NEVER built up the other gods as villains. Ares was your one goal and that's it. That changed with 2. This new game builds up villains who are clearly obstacles Kratos and Atreus will have to overcome and they never even appear. At the very least the gods in 1 had their heads show up and talk

*SHIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELD*

Amen. I enjoyed the game well enough, but it wasn't mind-blowing or anything.

arenkai he explained that he believes that it lost what made the god of war series so unique. Compare this to DOOM 2016, a game he proclaims is his favorite. Now imagine that game changing up the combat system and have DOOM guy be a complex sympathetic character, it just doesn't work.

That wouldn't work because nowhere in DOOM do you even have a hint that would suggest the Doom Slayer has more than 2 personnality traits: he hates demons and he's fucking good at destroying them. Which is not the same with Kratos AT ALL ! Since the beginning his struggle has been that he lost his family in the most horrible way possible and he's now plagued with nightmares which make him go berserk. And when Athena tells him that she wouldn't erase those awful memories, the guy TRIES TO KILL HIMSELF !!!!!! If that isn't proof that Kratos has more depth than you average action hero, I don't know what to say... I swear... People that claim this is an insult to God of War must have not played the original trilogy in quite some time because everything is still there minus the over the top gore and Kratos crazyness, because he doesn't have any reason to be that guy anymore. It makes perfect sense that now that he has his family back he'd do anything to keep his son away from what he had to go through. Like it or hate it, that's your choice, but you can't tell me that this is a betrayal of God of War because that's just wrong. @grey kurogane: I for one thought the combat was God of War's best feature. It has depth, it's brutal and tactical, not quite as good as Platinum Games' combat systems, but it's definitely better than the original trilogy which I never enjoyed for the combat that much. It was mindless mashing and QTE, not the most engaging type of combat system to me.

Why did you make this same comment like 5 fucking times? Besides, he killed hundreds of people before that event even happened; he clearly likes killing.

I made this same comment on different threads to either support their claims or show other people that their reasoning is flawed. If your argument is good, why change it, I wonder... Facts aren't interchangeable you know... If you actually read those comment you would have also noticed that I adapt the response to each and every thread by giving precisions that are relevant to the comments people made before it. I don't copy paste, I rewrite the whole thing. He was a Spartan, so enrolled when he was a kid to kill for the glory of his city. Besides it's because his brother was abducted by Ares and Athena that he started getting enraged at the gods and went over the top with the killing before that. But how does that negate anything I said about what happens AFTER his wife and kid died by his hands ?... What happened before has no incidence on his motivation AFTER that event, if enjoying the killing was his true motivation he wouldn't have tried to kill himself at the end of God of War 1, your argument is invalid. EDIT: Also, I never said that he didn't enjoy the killing, he has to to be so proficient and vicious in doing it. But it isn't the driving force behind his actions, it's and incidental thing, that's my point and that's the point people don't understand about Kratos.

Judging from his attitude on the combat, no.

Same here.

He said he played the whole game through an entire weekend. That's not nearly enough time to get to get to the other realms. But hey, deadlines.

And when one of those outcomes happens the game magically transforms into ACTUAL FUCKING GOD OF WAR :D

...which is pretty much what he's asking for if you think about it.

I mean that's what happened with GoW Ascension. It was just more of the same and people kind of didn't care.

I'll admit DLC was my assumption as well (and I could have lived with it) but a PS4 fanboy friend of mine has followed the devs closely and apparently they've said there won't be any DLC
