It’s finaly here! Our God of War Ragnarok FIRST PLAYTHROUGH begins now! No one warned me I would cry right away so let’s hope there aren’t anymore emotional moments lol. Side note: as always please keep the comments spoiler free, all it does is ruin potential reactions that you may have wanted to see! I ask a lot of questions, I don’t want answered. The first episode or two may be a little bumpy with the playthrough as I’m coming fresh out of retro gaming with the God of War 1-3 playthrough so just join me on the struggle bus while I adjust 🙂

This Thor boss fight is my favorite boss fight of all time the dialogue while fighting is just perfect
How disgusting you are fighting, I'm sorry
It is said with Fenrir's death right at the beginning, but I really think it serves a major purpose for the rest of the game. Just like Faye's funeral did in the 2018 game. It gets us the players to feel for the main characters right away. I mean Kratos and Atreus are about to do things that no human being can do. They're about to take on gods, monsters and perform superhuman feats of strength. It would be nearly impossible for us to connect with these characters in any way.
But you "humanize" them by showing how they're affected by a loss. A lose that we can all identify with. Loss. You show these larger-than-life characters hurt emotionally and now despite having abilities we can never expect to have we can connect with them.
Atreus' voice actor had to rerecord a lot of his lines because his voice would change so much between recording sessions that his voice continuity wouldn't be the same over the course of the game.
Kratos can literally not get rid of the Blades of Chaos. He's tried. In comics and in the novelization of the 2018 game they describe instances where he tried to leave them. But every time he falls asleep, they show back up again. He is cursed with them.
They say the name of the sled dogs, but when I saw them in the game's trailer, I gave them the nicknames of "Cry" and "Havoc" and I still haven't stopped calling them that.
As in "Cry Havoc and let slip the Dogs of War."
They foreshadow things so well right at the beginning. I won't spoil anything right now, but I will call back to moments when you get to them.
Definitely appreciate you going back and playing the old trilogy. Makes this so much better.
Let's be honest. Thor didn´t run, he had instructions of not killing Kratos.
52:26 "I was born a god and so were you. Boy, do you have nothing to say?"
"I…can I…turn into an animal?"
Yes. Yes, he can.
1:10:03 Whenever Odin makes a move towards Atreus Kratos reaches for his axe.
Right before Kratos let Thor into the house, he whispered something to Atreus. He was telling Atreus to hide Mimir.
Yep. This incarnation of Thor is easily my favorite in recent years. Can't wait to see what you think about the rest of the game!
1:17:53 Yep, that is a scripted. You cannot win this exchange with Thor. He kills you and then restarts your heart with electricity from his hammer. So creative and cool.
1:29:01 The first thing Kratos grabs is the piece of the Giant's chisel from the last game. He got that right after killing Magni. The second is the stone/item that Brok gave Kratos in the last game that allows Kratos and Atreus to travel through the realm between realms. Aka fast travel in the last game.
Great video Throughout except that one comment about Thor he’s not a coward he didn’t run away he had to go odin said it himself “don’t take all day”. Basically he has to end the fight satisfied and he has instructions to not kill him and Kratos give him a big punch and that’s that just to say something cause you’re wrong about Thor Being a coward, the rest of the video is fine. I do hope you continue Playing this game And see what in stores for you
Your parryings garbage cus youre panicking and double tapping L1.
Either tap it once to parry, or just hold it to block!
You cant quick turn using ⬇️ cus of story reasons…😉
Fenrir😭
Hello, I've been watching the whole trilogy since you started god of war 1, and it's been quite a journey for you and a beautiful one, the only thing i wanted to say it's to just press once to open the shield to block or parry in time, you might forgot but you were pressing to open the shield 2 times and perform a shield bash insted of blocking 😂
I hate u watched that Greek saga video. How much u want to watch the cutscenes? Cause if u want a emotional roller coaster watch the cutscenes. Not some guy who was doing his job and didn't give to craps about the story.
you should play or watch The Last of Us 😂
Right after mjolnir and the leviathan axe's clash that makes the frozen lightning bolt the music gives us that "you never fpught someone like this before" feeling to it especially in the percussion drums also the punch right after Thor mouths off about atreus when the slow motion happens it meant Kratos quit holding back and let out a full strength punch
13:30 when Kratos realise he raised a warrior worthy of his name sake (Atreus AOS) 😊❤
Sweetheart the audacity to say he ran away
New Subscriber! im about to go and watch all your reactions to all the previous god of war games you played! the franchise is so good it’s a shame you didnt know the ghost of sparta and chains of oylmpus games lore before playing 1,2,3 but at least u know them now!
1:22:43
@VideogameShayPlays More like he was disappointed of your mediocrity (plus gave time for Odin to talk with Atreus/Loki); 😆Thor literally had to revive your QTE-whinin' butt, lol.
😀You'll get better. Can't wait to see how much you'll master the parrying & whatnot.
1:21:23 "You will join your sons!" One of the hardest lines ever spoke in this game lol
It's kinda interesting that they made Odin, Thor, the norse gods speak more "modern" and casual, they even say fuck and shit. While Kratos and all the greek gods speak formal and ancient-like in the originals. You noticed that?
Anyways, awesome playthrough!
I'm sure someone probably already said this but to do quick turn you swipe up on the D pad, I think you might be able to change what button it is in the settings also
To answer your question, no those are skol and hati children of Fenrir
6:50 he can’t toss the blades or destroy them he’s tried everything he could leave them, thrown them in the water everytime he wakes up they appear right next to him he’s tried everything to get rid of them doesn’t work he’s grown to accept it
Odin and Thor 😮😮🎉🎉 ooh my god 🙀🙀
Boss fight Kratos vs Thor very brutal 😱💥
Kratos was holding back the whole fight with Thor. But when Thor mentioned Atreus, GOW 3 Kratos awoken. The Norse gods are so lucky that Kratos has changed😅😅
If you think Thor "ran like a lil bitch", you don't understand anything, Thor is not afraid of Kratos
The parry mechanic felt slightly different than GoW 2018 to me when I first started Ragnarok. Maybe I was just rusty too, but it feels like you had the same experience
If your curious on how old Atreus is in God of War 2018 he was 11 now in Ragnarök he's 14
58:42 To answer your question, the sun and moon wolves in Norse Myth are named Skoll and Hati and in Norse Myth they're the children of Fenrir. Of course in GoW there are some differences to the actual mythos
Thor isnt a coward he is just following Odin orders
Thor : Can I come in ? I have mead
Baldur : Im not my brother and if you give me what I want ,it wouldnt have ended this way
Stop by and visit the dogs whenever you are at the house. No one ever does on there playthrough. Including fenrer grave. It's between the fence and the wolves fire pit.
Open any gate to refill your health and rage.
