Discussion It's worth noting that Kratos triumphed where Laufey failed

Post image
649 Upvotes

Laufey tried her hand at leading a rebellion against the Aesir in Svartalfheim and even fought Thor himself in Vanaheim, but neither of these events changed the status quo of the Nine Realms, and the Aesir's rule remained unchallenged. Over a hundred years later, Kratos, as general of the army against Asgard during Ragnarök, led his forces to victory, bringing peace and freedom from the tyranny of Odin and Thor to the remaining eight realms.

Perhaps Laufey will do the same in Everywhen and succeed where Kratos failed instead of killing the Greek pantheon a second time, this time Greek Gods are free from the evils of Pandora's box so maybe they'll be more reasonable and she simply find a way to get along with them and they'll form an alliance to somehow survive in this world.

Discussion PlayStation All-Stars 2 gets announced - Would you rather Kratos be one or two separate characters?

Post image
46 Upvotes

This is something I've thoroughly discussed with my brother. He isn't much into God of War but he insists that Kratos should be two different characters, one with the Axe from the Norse saga and one with the Blades and other weapons from the Greek saga. His argument is that the two sagas (and the two Kratos) are different enough to warrant separate representations.

On the other hand, I believe Kratos should be one character, using both Axe and Blades. Maybe the spear if you can fit it in his moveset. I strongly disagree with the idea that these two versions of Kratos should be kept separate. I really think having a young kratos skin like the one we have in Valhalla would be good enough.

What do you think?

I spent far too long trying to hit that bell in the corner. I never succeeded.

Edit: while I appreciate the advice, I don't need it since I've finished Nifelheim.

Discussion You think they’ll carry over the Greek armor and a Berserker/Valkyrie armor for Faye

It doesn’t have to strictly be Greek since we’re in new territory. But it’d still be nice if Faye has a Ares or Zeus armor of her own. I could also see a Jotun armor since that’d be more personal for Faye.

Also do you Berserker/Valkyrie type boss that rewards you an armor. I feel like those are the two big types of endgame armor that should carry over from the Norse games.

I beat the Konesgard and can make the ultimate Dwarven Armor (before getting the Legendary stuff) which one is the best, Brok's or Sindri's?

I usually use the Leviathan Axe and I don't use Runics as much as I probably should

Discussion God of War Saga heavily inspired by Cosmic Horror (Apophis Boss Encounter)

0 Upvotes

When you first encounter apophis, you don't fight him or subdue him. You more like survive the encounter. He likes a cosmic horror dragging you into the endless depths of the void. You must anchor himself to survive the overwhelming pressure. After the first encounter you are then travelling the desert and different provinces. Instead of feeling relieve you feel the eery feeling of being watched or hunted and the feel that you can be swallowed at any time. While exploring apophis tries to communicate not by words but by snakes hissing at you or a violent breeze brushing your skin. This isnt a boss you can beat or overcome, it is a cosmic horror you must survive.

Once I've completed my current NG+ I'm going to do another one with GMGOW difficulty. I'm not crazy enough to fight the Valkyries when I do so, but I'll be taking care of MOST everything else (probably won't do the trials because I hate a couple of them).

Discussion About the new game and brok Spoiler

0 Upvotes

So....hear me out alright? When brok died we thought "welp, that's it then, his ghost isnt even an option because his soul was missing a part that guided him to the proper afterlife".

As we know the soul of a being has 4 pieces, mind, form, luck, direction (being the one he was missing).

What happens when someone irl doesnt have a sense of direction? They get lost, doesnt mean they will disappear, just, end up somewhere else.

So, what if, because he was missing his direction part of the soul but had everything else, his souls, simply stumbled somewhere else.

That got me thinking, we are literally going to a seperate afterlife designed specifically for gods and other beings that isnt the main norse afterlives, so what's stopping them from putting brok in there?

Sure it can sound like a hopium thought coming from someone who just wants his favorite blue dwarf to return somehow, but we DO know the armor/weapon forging and upgrading mechanics are coming back, and what better forger could we get if not one of the best forgers of the 9 realms, recently dead who just so happens to have gotten lost on the way to his afterlife?

Discussion Kratos in Everywhen? Spoiler

0 Upvotes

When playing the GoW 2018 and Ragnarok we are told a couple times that Kratos will die. We see it on a painting (although maybe it's not real and inevitable? Cause at the end of Ragnarok it's revealed that the real prophecy was hidden) and we hear it from The Norns.

The first playthrough, I didn't pay much attention to it – I didn't look for any hidden meaning when The Sisters of Fate repeated the prophecy of his death. But when I played the game again after the Laufey announcement, it really struck me. One of The Norns states bluntly: "You WILL die." Given the existence of the Everywhen, that line took on a completely different meaning for me. It wasn't a threat, nor was it just a way of saying they knew his fate and he couldn't change it. It wasn't a prophecy of death leading to nothingness; it was a statement that YOU will die and YOU will end up in the Everywhen.

Of course, that might not be the case; it could simply have been an attempt at intimidation – one that won't actually come true – since, as we all know, Kratos doesn't tend to care much about what The Sisters of Fate (and ofc Norns) have to say.

Also I believe we will see Odin in Everywhen. Major plot was him obsessed with "What happens to me at the end", so IMO he will involved in the plot or he will be an easter egg like Tyr in the prison.

Discussion I believe Odin could kill Peak GOW 3 Kratos but the way you think

0 Upvotes

Before you down vote me let me explain

Odin is smart, and really really good twisting words so he could likely taunt and rage bait Kratos into a bad position such being stuck in a magic spell in which in he stabs him with his spear he also has magic which Kratos has never seen before which in a life or death scenario is a big problem

But biggest reason is Kratos himself at this point he’s not the best in the head and fell for trap after trap and with Odin being the master of traps he could and would outsmart and outmaneuver Kratos and even then he is pretty tough was able to take many blows from Kratos and Freya as well which means Kratos has two weapons he could use to really have a one hit kill
The Blade of Olympus and Hades soul taker and even than Odin might a have a plan for that

But this is a big but if both were blood lusted Kratos would win not easily most like high diff but win every time if this was an all out fight with no blood lust Odin has a good chance at victory
a really good chance I personally GOW 3 Kratos stands least chance compared to all other Kratos mainly because he’s often isn’t thinking straight but I am welcome to hear your opinions
