The reason the Kraken shows up is because the devs are big fans of the original Clash of the Titans film from 1981. The Kraken was the final monster of that film, with a visual design similar to how it appears in the game. They even got Harry Hamlin, who played Perseus in Clash of the titans, to voice Perseus in the game.

Interesting. I always thought of God War 2 as all of the same with minor improvements. Hence I thought you wouldn't be too impressed with it after watching your first video. I didn't notice some of the smaller changes like Kratos being able to push objects faster. Or I don't remember noticing them anyway. The first time I played these games I definitely liked the 2nd one better. After I replayed them, which was still several years ago now, I wasn't so sure anymore. The first one felt more cohesive overall. The story in the second had more spectacle and just more stuff but the plot was better though out in the first I think. I also really enjoyed the concept of the architect getting progressively mad and hence the challenges in the temple getting more and more insane. I'm definitely gonna play them again some time. Probably gonna get a PS4 at the end of its life span when it's cheap. I want to go through the exclusives and God of War 3 in solid 60fps is on the list. It would be good opportunity to plat though the original trilogy again.

I really love the first game, and liked the second at first, but as a completionist I realized that a lot of this game's core problems are only visible in the harder difficulties, how you can easily exploit the enemies and how some scenes can go on for way to long, and when the gameplay on Titan requires you to avoid damage and play more defensively you realize how imprecise the gameplay really is and how poorly telegraphed some of the bosses are. It's almost as if this game was designed around easy mode where you can tank damage and experience the fun part of being an overpowered badass, but when that power fantasy is taken away you're left with just the core gameplay and it's really frustrating. Which is a shame considering the fact that GoW1 God Mode was really the way the game was intended to be played.

I don't see how Zeus is a great boss fight. The first phase is a joke: "hey, wanna kill regular enemies while evading Zeus' attacks? we know you are capable of watching different objects by your eyes indepently. The second is long and boring as shit, repetative, Zeus is a fucking damage sponge even on the second difficulty, the first punch of his combo is not blockable or parryable, and you have to fight with that stupid blade that you don't even know how to fight with (anyway, just spam square). The last QTE kills it completely, when failing an input (which is very easy to do) you have to watch the long surrendering sequence again.

Go watch the making of god of war 1 videos. Jaffe, I believe, tells us about some ideas (flying segments, for example) that they left out for the sequel, which tells me the team and its direction had forethought. The older God of War games were games first narratives second (though Ghost of Sparta delivered an engagingly tragic story) while this trashy, the last of us clone with an invincible AI companion which existed also in Bioshock Infinite was story first, game second. The reboot tried to become what it can never be as a game: a fricking movie! They sacrificed gameplay, they emboldened a video game story (!) and interpolated a bunch of forced walk-and-chats. This is not a game, it's a tech-demo; it's an Uncharted-style interactive movie; it is, in conclusion, a massive misinterpretation---or misappropriation for financial gain---of a beloved character, because kids these days have the attention span of a newborn baby who has to be constantly reminded that "hey, this game also has a story, please don't skip through the cutscenes and kill people or enjoy yourself. This man is a father and even though we could 'suggest' emotions, we decided to 'impose' our themes onto you, because, dear videogame consumer, you are retarded." it's long, meandering, and meaningless. but hey you asked me to explain :]

A blemish in consistency with the actual mythos, to be sure, but a nice callback nonetheless.

Maybe Kratos didn’t go back to the battle with the barbarians because in the current timeline he figured that the gods were no good anyway and instead of preventing the whole debacle and living blindly under the omnipotent rule of the gods of Olympus, he figured that the world would be better off without them. Besides, the gods would probably know that Kratos changed his fate and wouldn’t let him get away with it. How would they know that? I dunno. I’m sure someone would know, they’re omnipotent after all.

When Zeus and kratos first fought, the best part was when the soilders were saying in the background, what has happened to the God of war

My personal GOW ranking.... GOW3 - Ascension - GOW2 - Ghost of Sparta - GOW1 - Chains of Olympus. I didn't enjoy the others but that's just my opinion.

Beating the game on titan mode was so satisfying, not really for the new game+ unlockables but the sense of mastering even the most minute timings in combat was so gooood. Even tho it is not really a difficult boss, the Theseus was like top 3 in terms of difficulty for me because you are very early in the game with low health and mana and 2 hits can drop you, while also having low damage because of the same reason; i don't know if it was intended this way but i only managed to kill him pushing and maneuvering the Minotaurs into the Ice Spikes that came from the ground as i saw it damaged them quite a good amount, while dodging, learning his stick rotation QTEs and perfect blocking his other attacks. The sisters although hard to battle didn't feel as frustrating as Theseus fight, mainly because your far into that story-point, due to beating the game multiple times you know already all the Gorgon and Feather Chest locations and you come prepared, stacking levels into only weapons and abilities matter. The Gorgon Sister was another one i felt was very hard due to her being a lot more agressive and using that Stone Gaze a lot more meant i couldn't riposte as much. I think i had more trouble with the mini-bosses like the boulders-made ones or with the "constant spawn-in of mobs" fights like the one after you end the Atlas arc and reach spiked room entrance(above the surface) where you have to move a lever from a side to another to match the gate entry.

31:40 actually I didnt mind Prometheus's excessive wailing. This is what the Greek saga of God of War was characterized by: constant agony, misery, suffering, and torment. It makes Kratos' destruction of the world a little more morally gray seeing what pricks the gods are in this world.

I think the reason Kratos didn’t go further back in time wasn’t because he was blinded by revenge but rather that he knew that tweaking the past alone is dangerous enough never mind rewriting it entirely. Hence why he didn’t use it to stop himself from selling his soul to Ares and instead only went back (now fully powered) to just a second or two after his death when Zeus was still there to kill him this time!

One of my only criticism with the game is that I wish the Sisters of Fate had a shared design theme . Like Lachesis looks like an ordinary woman, Atropos looks like a Wraith and Clotho looks like a giant silkworm. Individually they look great but together you'd never think they were meant to be a set.

im not sure if it was planned to be like this, but it works well either way, since gow ghost of sparta takes place before gow2, and in that game kratos's mother tells him zeus is his father, so with that context, his reaction doesnt seem all that nonsensical, even if we wouldnt know of the fact ourselves at that point, not sure if it makes sense from a story telling perspective, but from the full story that we know now, it makes more sense than it otherwise would have
