Ah yes, when the game makes me cry three times in the first 20 minutes 😭 To be fair, I'm still raw from playing through Still Wakes The Deep in one sitting today 😂
came into this expecting bad parenting and cinematic head stomping, so far there has been far better parenting (as compared to the last game), emotional damage, and far less cinematic head stomping than i expected
As a fan with what I think is similar levels of appreciation for The West Wing as yourself I'm so glad your reaction to Richard Schiff was the same as mine – I'd managed to avoid spoilers for a whole year before I played this last November (well, I knew Richard Schiff was in the game due to Tweeter, just didn't know who he was playing) so I had an almost identical giddy vibe when I streamed this with my pals on Discord!!
…none of them having watched the West Wing my energy was lost on them so I feel like your reaction has made up for all of their lack of one 😂.
So glad you're playing this, God of War (2018) is probably the best game I've ever played and I feel this was a worthy sequel so I hope you have as much fun with it as I did – looking forward to the rest of the series!
One thing no one talks about is the fact that the "fates" of Greece actually messed with the "timelines" of ppl while the "fates" of Norse mythology only watch the "timelines" like they are silent movies.
When I knew Johnny was playing this I had to rush out and get it. I normally wait until games are cheaper then when they first come out and I'm happy to say I've finished and platinumed this game at the right time as Johnny starts their playthrough. Super excited for this! 😊
Johnny, I implore you, I beseech, when the story is over, clear the prison. The game doesn't direct you there at all, it's only us completionists that bother, but it's really important
Odin walks in, has eyepatch wait, isn't part of Norse myth that the reason Odin has one eye is because Loki played a trick on him? Unless mysterious golf ball is Odin's eye, in which case, how did he lose it?
So glad Johnny is playing this! After Sony's colossal tomfuckery surrounding anything PC related, I noped out from buying it. Can't wait to follow you!
Johnny, I am SO delighted you are playing this game. It is good. i won't say more because I am TERRIBLE at gauging what is and isnt' a spoiler; I'm just going to say it's an emotional ride, so hang on tight.
In the vein of GoW: Ragnarok, have you seen the Norwegian series "Ragnarok". Incredible cast and writing (IMO). It's 3 seasons of 6-8 episodes each IIRC and I simply cannot recommend it enough.
'I guess you could say it's a "Thor Spot"' gave me massive Ellen vibes. Think she's been rubbing off on you Johnny

WHO IS READY FOR EMOTIONAL DAMAGE?!
I’m so excited for you to experience this game. Its so good 😭
I wasn't prepared for dog sadness
Wow, I forgot what a gut punch this intro is

Even I think Freya needs to come down off the ledge, but hey, what are you gonna do? 😂😂

I for one approve of the new, if temporary, holding screen.
Be honest Freya… You're not completely happy are you?
HURRAY!!!
I just finished rewatching the GOW let’s play and was hoping he’d do Ragnarök too. 😊
Johnny have you read the iron Druid chronicles I think you would really enjoy it

Getting to watch literally everyone else in the world play one of the best games ever? Yes to this whole experience.

Is it just me, or was the game audio all over the place? Especially during the horse lady fight.
The beginning of this game pulled zero punches, and I do not appreciate 😭😭😭
Was not expecting Odin to be so casual, but I love it 😂
This game was just so damn good. I am excited for you to experience it, Johnny.
OMG! I literally just finished your God of War play through the other day. I’m so happy you’re playing this, I’m so excited.😊👍🏻

Waist armor? Warrior cummerbund?
Dashing through the snow, on a wolf drawn two god sleigh
I very much like the choice by Sony Santa Monica to portray the Aesir like mafiosos.
The reaction to the look-up of the Odin casting… fantastic
I forgot how much the opening of this game made me cry- curse you onion cutting ninjas!
Everyone remembers the shield yeah? Yeah…? Indeed? Sure? Absolutely? … Parry? Mmm Hm!
Atreus reminds me of the youngest kid from Macolm in the middle.
WEEK OLD KITTENS!?!?!?!?
Johnny explaining to Thor how hard it is to stream and fight…hahaha

15:14 “I wasn’t ready to feel feeling this early” same, Johnny, same.

Nothing was more startling for me than when Mimir's accent slipped a little and I realized I was listening to Celebrimbor. Loved that bit lol
The music in this game is fantastic, too.
It's actually Richard Schiff?! I love him, too! The West Wing is my favorite show ever and a huge comfort watch for me.

I blew through the last series to prepare for this. Can recommend.
