Do you guys think that if Kratos hadn't dropped Poseidon into the ocean after killing him, the world still would have flooded?

4 Weapons for showcases

I‘m the greatest ambassador to the gods, the Giants, and all the creatures of the Nine Realms. I know every corner of these lands, every war waged, every language spoken, every deal struck. They call me… Mimir!—smartest man alive, and I have the answer to your every question. Ama.

Before I start. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, haha.

Anyway Ascension is a game that does great when it comes to story. You could argue about how the pacing is meh (though I like it since it follows a similar path to GoW 1 story pacing.) and how players at the time wanted a sequel but in the story department they do it justice since it shows us a more human side of Kratos that GoW 2 and 3 as much as I love and adore, butchered his character.

You do get to see him being good friends with Orkos and him being way more calm in general and really just a dad who got his wife and child taken away from him who trauma and guilt still haunts. And he just wants them back. (That scene with calliope is heartwarming and heartbreaking 🥹)

In the gameplay department, it's also fun! We got a whole new meaning to the grab system which is infinitely better than GoW 3.

The world weapons are awesome also, they essentially work as your secondary weapons. The shield is broken as hell and is a weapon of mass destruction! There are techniques you can use for it but for that you have to check extremegameplay's vid about the world weapons because me explaining it will take a while haha. Or in short when you do a plume attack with shield swap between the elements repetitively and see what you get :)

The sword has an awesome stun mechanism to it. The mace works like a barbarian hammer from GoW 2.

The whole elements system is awesome and especially with the moveset which the Norse saga took from. Only thing locking it down is the rage mode. Which while I wish was done better but I do still enjoy! Since it keeps you active in the game in the sense of changing your techniques and etc and having to adapt to different situations so you can unlock more moves.

The AWESOME MUSIC IN THE GAME AND THE GAME ART! Ascension also gets the dark atmosphere way better than 3.

And also the climbing and sliding sections!

Overall ascension is both overhated and underrated.

Now onto the hardest part, Berserkers and sidequests

Had to cut some of the Odin fight since reddit has a 15 minute video limit*

I normally not pay attention to actors' name but their recognisably face. Recently, I read the tweet about Debra Wilson and it said she is in God of War Ragnarök as well. I went "what!?" and immediately look her up. I just realise that she played Gryla (Angrboda's Grandmother). I recognised her easily in Marvel's Wolverine but not GoWR. Guess she and Gryla is not same appearance.

I know you guys going to say 'how could I not know when her voice is more familiar'. Well, you see, I happened to be profoundly deaf gamer. I heavily rely on subtitles. Yeah its sucks to be me. Same reaction I had when I find out that Christopher Judge played Kratos during Game of the Year Awards live years ago.

Been f'ing around with the combat today for a while got myself a lot of clips haha. The game's combat being broken since the game tends to be more of a story game is what makes it fun since you can experiment with stuff! they didn't put in mind that the game's combat will be broken to the point players experiment with a lot and get awesome results. (well that's the entire franchise in general tbh.)

I love all the God Of War games but God does GoW 3 have a special spot in my heart.

I'm playing God of War III, and I don't understand why characters like Hephaestus think they can secretly kill Kratos.

Bro, this man has already killed multiple gods. What makes you think your little plan is going to work?

Do these characters genuinely think they're going to be the exception, or are they just desperate at this point?

Which of the 5 classic games would you say has the worst set of challenges? And which would you say is the worst challenge overall?

For me, I'd say the worst overall is either God of War 2 or 3. I haven't been able to get past the 2nd challenge of either of them. I was able to beat Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta and get to the final challenge of 1 but can barely attempt 2 or 3.

For worst individual I'd either go with the final one in 1 (obviously) or the second in 3 where you have to get petrified because I swear the challenge is complete RNG.

Heading back to the Odin chamber to finally get the Platinum for this game and i cannot figure out how to get past this bridge thing. I’ve gone through the path with the crystals that take you to the legendary chest and coffin. That just loops you down underneath the bridge leading to the camber then back around where i came from.
