I didn't know that!! Happy coincidence that it became such an iconic thing. Especially Christofer Judge calling Sunny BOY!!! at Game Awards 2018 lives in my head rent free 😂
@@qrowing It did go on for way too long, but I didn't mind it as much.. I mean, a lot more cringe inducing shit has happened in the history of E3 and Game Awards that scars your soul😂
@@nubbylittlecat1753you right about they finished watching but i dont agree it is more fun without knowing kratos history.. for example, the earlier part of kratos looking at his wound at his arm from blade of chaos reminiscing his old days would be more impactful if they knew the history and of course later scene where he retrieve back his blade of chaos.. it made a difference if they knew the history
For me it was my first GoW game and I loved it despite the fact I didnt knew his story, I got so addicted that I watched the whole story after finishing the game. So the game did a good job to get your interest for the whole story, for me at least :) I just regret I didnt play the old games back in the day 😭
@@dean93arrI think there’s three ways you can experience it, full knowledge, partial knowledge, which is my favorite, or no knowledge. Full knowledge heightens emotional impact and helps with understanding Kratos more. Partial knowledge is how I first played; I knew the basics, he served Ares, accidentally killed his family, and then killed all the gods, but that was about all I knew. That led to me being able to understand his character, say “oh shit” as he brought out the blades, and still be surprised by parts, like Zeus being his dad. No knowledge replaces the understanding of Kratos with mystery, and some absolutely prefer that. It creates a unique story experience where the lead has clearly experienced a massive story in the past, but you only get to see the pieces of it.
20:57 In the novelization of the game it's revealed in his thoughts that one of the main reasons Kratos doesn't let Atreus hold Faye is because he doesn't want to let her go. He doesn't want her to leave him.
You should have her watch a little of kratos’s past even after watching the 2 games cutscenes only a backstory video will cover some very very interesting things that will help you both understand why he is the way he is
Just FYI... The World Serpent says " I know you, Ghost of Sparta... Find Mimir!" took me a while but on my third playthrough of the game I figured what it was saying
I think this would be a good point to know Kratos.. Dude went through a lifetime of trauma in the previous games. There is a very valid reason why he hates Gods and why he is ashamed that he is one. He wants to save Atreus from a lifetime of misery. Also the game tells you this at some point(Maybe it is in the sequel, I am not sure), but back in Greece, Kratos had a family, but because he was under the service of Ares, in a blind rage he kills his wife and daughter when he gets information that the village they were staying in had people who worked against Ares or something. So he was cursed to wear his family's ashes on his skin to remind him of his error. That's why in this game, his skin looks more Grey-ish. I mean that is horrifying when you think about it. You inadvertently kill your family and you are cursed to wear their ashes on your skin to remind you of your folly. This is who Kratos is. With that context, I think you can understand why he has so much trouble connecting with Atraeus. He genuinely wants him to be better than Kratos was, but just does it in his own way. Beautiful thing is, even without the context, you can understand his struggles. You know the archetype he comes under and you recognize his problems, but with the context, you actually feel for him because he is trying to get over trauma the likes of which is unimaginable. I really love the game's writing that it facilitates new players to understand, but it also has enough for veteran players to get the bigger picture
Not just that of what he went through, gods in this universe or to be honest in real mythology too is just dickheads, especially the greek ones. Like Mimir says "Ones in a blue moon there might be a good god"
@@nesseihtgnay9419 nah i'm assuming tired af, i used to make those same faces fighting sleep in highschool, where you're so confident nobody noticed you nodding off
I ADORE Aterus, he’s so naive of the world and just wants to see the good in others. Meanwhile Kratos knows the danger this world imposes and wants to protect Aterus from his own naive nature. I’ve played this game and watched play throughs of the second one and I love how their relationship grows. I also love the Witch of the Woods (who you’ll find out more about in a little bit) and I too want to play as her lmao 😂 Also can I just say the music in this game is a masterpiece. The music that plays when Kratos reaches out to his wife gives me extreme chills all over. Such a beautiful piece of art this game is.
there's a video called a history of kratos and id really recommend watching that!! as it wont make your god of war experience bad but will give you knowledge for what's coming in the story!
Yes I would agree please go back and watch the Greek God of War before you move on to the 2018 God of War, your missing and whole lot of good story. Plus some things won't make sense.
You should play all old game and this one too after that in ragnarok you will find the conclusion about character improvement emotionally. You will love it more❤
Kratos has already lost a family he had due to the Gods of Olympus wanting to make an absolute warrior with no mortal ties holding him back. And they took that family by tricking him into thinking they were monsters while he was under the servitude of the gods. Kratos gets cursed to carry the shame of killing his family, the pale skin he has is the ashes of his family. Thus the name Ghost of Sparta. This path of vengence lead him to kill Ares and become the God Of War. Further actions lead to the gods betraying Kratos yet again and soon begins his journey to destroy Olympus where he learns Zeus is his father and killing the gods, meant killing the rest if his family. After destroying Olympus, Kratos finds his way to a foreign land where he hid for a very very long time until he met his late wife Faye, and together had a son Atreaus. Edit: An over simplification of the history of 7 games.
In the original take for the scene where Kratos goes “Fine. Lamb’s Crest.” Kratos’ actor Christopher Judge says “Fine. Lamb’s Crest. I’m a fucking God Of War!”
Guys might i suggest that before continuing with the third part let's take a detour to watch kratos backstory so that u can understand him more and why he is basically like that
The game is fun to play. Atreus is a cute child. The story is fairy-tale, the combat is legendary, and the graphics are fantastic. I advise you to try it. ❤
Achara, if you’re not going to check up on Kratos’s history, then you need to know at least this: He killed the ENTIRE pantheon of Greek gods in the previous games, including his father Zeus, dooming all of Greece in the process. All in the name of rage and revenge for his wife and daughter that he was tricked into killing. The Greek gods were all the worst, hence why he doesn’t believe in “good gods”
If you think kratos is grumpy you should watch the cutscenes for the Greek games and see how grumpy he was when he was young 😂. Mf would literally kill people just for staring at him the wrong way lol
I wish that they would actually play the game so that they could read the glossary and find out exactly who and what all these creatures and people are, they’re all written from Atreus’ point of view.
I don't think they'd be able to finish it honestly, they're not used to games and this one is fairly challenging and long. I prefer cut down reactions to the story instead.
Hey Achara and Kristen love your reactions... Don't comment much but this game is just too close to heart, be that as it may... i have just one tiny suggestion... Kindly, watch god of war scenes from 1st game onwards... All that you see in his actions and nature will make sooo much more sense... You can look up his history but the cutscenes hit different... Whenever you can find it your interest please watch it... You WILL NOT be disappointed... If possible you can try it before god of war ragnarok a lot of things in the main story of that game wil make much much more in the feels with teh backstory... The story will just hit different then... It came out as a request rather than a suggestion... 😅😅

You ve seen the video 😂😂 it was hilarious
"That's impossible." He spoke using a contraction. I never caught that before. That proves it really got to him.
Y'all definetly do the history of Kratos before this game it shows why Kratos is how he is & how much he grows in this one

Or a nap

I thought so too but then she did a pretty good analysis of what she just saw so maybe she wasn't falling asleep at all
No this masterpiece no one can bored

You speak world serpent?
@@TheBombasticFatRat The world serpent speaks a very distorted Icelandic. It's close enough to be correct.
That's cool. Icelandic is considered closest to old Scandinavian language that's practically dead.
He doesn't just say find mimir, if you listen he also adds "he will help" after the find mimir

I really appreciate that you put (part */*) because it lets me know immediately how many episodes to look out for
I loved how your upload schedule works, its everyday not like every week or every other week
Kristen seems sleepy 😴😂😂😂
yea, she looks bored
You guys should definitely watch the amazing documentary behind the development of the game. Its on UA-cam for free and its called "Raising Kratos".
Not enough people watching that thing, honestly. Really great documentary.
After this game you guys should watch history of kratos and watch the gameplay just as your are doing this version. It’ll be worth it.
You should play all old game and this one too after that in ragnarok you will find the conclusion about character improvement emotionally. You will love it more❤
Let her sleep😂
"I'm the freaking God of War"
There's a bts where the voice actor adds one extra line and it's hilarious: "Lamscrest... I'm the fucking God of War"! Look it up, it's hilarious!

Not sure if anyone noticed. But I really want to remove Kristen's headphones and tell her that "Its okay, you can sleep" :D
Just so you know, canonically, kratos is massively holding back pretty much the whole game
You two ladies looked like you needed coffee for this reaction.
I just realized kratos knew brock is already died in this game such a nice detail.
49:13 Yup.. yup 👌🏽😁

The boys name is atreus. That's also the name of a mythological spartan warrior. Who was the father of the greek king agamemnon

"Lambs Cress....... I'm the f**king God of War...."
Poor girl in the right needs to sleep 😅
yall also might wanna try auto-subtitles, since google/youtube went Ai on it they pretty much mimic the orignal game subtitles
If you think kratos is grumpy you should watch the cutscenes for the Greek games and see how grumpy he was when he was young 😂. Mf would literally kill people just for staring at him the wrong way lol
I need MORE!!!
Eagerly waiting for the next part
get Kristen a coffee lol
Not gonna spoil anything, so I'll just say you'd want to rewatch this whole thing with context after the big reveal at the end.
Is the volume of the game lower in this video? I feel like I can bearly hear it
31:58 indeed Achara. Who could it be 😉
Sleepy Stephenson pino 😂❤
Ma'am Kratos doesn't do anything quietly. He didn't become God of War by working in a library.
U gonna see history of Kratos to catch some references...
In the book, I think it says Kratos was in the light for 3 days
Freya is a vanir god, different from the asir god. And one of few that use actual magic-magic. Asir gods were weary of magic besides odin.
Please also react to the PlayStation documentary on the success of God Of war.
Hey! Don't keep Kristen awake like that! 🥺
Jormungandr(The world serpant) said
I KNOW YOU
GHOST OF SPARTA
FIND MIMIR
HE WILL HELP
Plz watch the past of kratos to learn what he did
Y'all should find another channel, there are too many cuts to important scenes on this one .
@Achara you need to watch at least a recap. of the. previous games in this series otherwise you may not understand much
I wish that they would actually play the game so that they could read the glossary and find out exactly who and what all these creatures and people are, they’re all written from Atreus’ point of view.
