GamingSins: Everything Wrong With God of War (2018)

- Welcome to GamingSins, where I nitpick the hell out of video games.
Well, this took longer than I expected. Well, I'm certainly glad I was wrong about this one. God of War 2018 proved to be one hell of a fantastic game, almost Game of the Year material even. But as with all games, it is not free of sin. And boy, it has plenty of them.

For Sin 128, Freya says "No magic in all the 9 nine realms can create a blaze", but the blades are not from the 9 realms so they can still create fire in Helheim.
MM TT exactly. They're even imbued with the flames of the Underworld from Greece. So it makes sense that they can trump the cold winds of Helheim
Well, Cory Barlog, the main director, stated that Greece and the greek goods from the previous entries exists within the nine realms. Athens, for example, is in Midgard, only in a different place (Midgard is sort of... Planet Earth). Kratos is just far up to the north. The same way that Hades' domain exists within Helheim, only in a different, much distant location.
No. He stated that the mythologies exists within the same world (planet). Midgard is not the entire Earth but in fact the geographical location of the Norse mythos. And of course the other 8 realms exist out side of Earth (different planes).
Just consider that Atreus says "The world serpent spans ALL of midgard". If it were indeed the case that Midgard is Earth, that would imply that Jormungandr interferes with different Mythos which while still possible, we would have heard about it in the Greek games
it doesn't even mather cuz as mentionned, the flames from the blade don't even come from earth, they are the power of the greek version of hell implemented into them, thus another realm
He's just nitpicking, not even paying attention so...
You're seriously sinning Atreus for having an emotional reaction to killing a man for the first time?
Welcome to GCN's Gaming Sins
Hehehehe
@@danielmachado1791 ok.
You must be new here
@@tjpetty6643 I agree
When he snatched Atreus up and reprimanded him and finished by telling him “HONOR your mother”
I would’ve just shat myself and cried if I was that little boy
Jesus what gut punch
That is one of my favorite moments of the game
Kratos yelling at Atreus for being an asshole
Awesome
That was so satisfying.
“You will listen to me and not SPEAK a word.”
He yelled at the kid for being like him which was a good thing, but let's not forget what the big K was like when he was younger. He literally committed genocide bru😂
@@whyisotrash-O921O5 and just like his lecture about anger, he's using his mistakes to teach the kid to not repeat them. Good parenting.
Me: is it bad to admit that the dialogue between mimir and Atreus is the most entertaining aspect of the game
GCN: i think it is
Charles Chungus
Me watching this video as white noise as I replay the game: I can agree
No. I find Mimir to be an annoying piece of shit.
There are technically no 'cut' scenes in this game. It's all one take. Except for that Thor part.
Not gameplay= cutscene
Naseer Williams me means the camera does not cut once, every cutscene that happens the camera is still rolling from when said cutscene was entered, the entire game is one take
Naseer Williams *he
Exactly, Idk why it seems like people would rather wait at a loading screen
Picasso only loading screens I want are Tenkaichi loading screens, seeing how many bowls of food I could eat with Goku xD.
Story cliches are not inherently bad, dude. They're only bad if they were badly written.
Good point.
Nah they bad
He's just nitpicking to be funny.
Same Thing
Yeah sure, but Game of The Year? I literally quit mid my second playthrough when Mimir began whining like a pathetic snowflake about how eeeevooooolll Odin was for the 100'th time. Like damn, they literally CTR + C'd the Greek Gods' personalities onto the Norse ones, mommy jokes and all. Couldn't just have an understandable and reasonable antagonist that would make us conflicted with ourselves as to whether or not we should even kill him no no, he had to be a wife beating racist so we'd be sure he was evil. The antagonist is literally racism and sexism, lmfao!
It's pathetic writing. It just panders to the millennial's inner five year old's of; crush the over the top Disney villain bad guy in brutal fashion. Game left me cold as hell.
And then I read that Kratos is now officially gay, and that Barlog was afraid of his ''Toxic Masculinity''... Yeah. Fuck this game.
‘Freya has mastered the art of off screen teleportation’ on account of her being a fucking goddess I’d hope so
But she literally doesn't have the ability to teleport god or not tf. barely any gods at all can teleport including fuckin, oh idk, Kratos??
@@chefcorinth bruh odin used vanir (the people that Freya was the Queen of) magic to keep her in midgard if she entered another realm it literally pulls her back
Then there's also when she cast herself and thor out of jotunheim
But sure teleportation is something she can't do
@@some_shitposting_idiot3023 ok so that first point literally has nothing to do with teleportation idek why you brought that up it pulls her back it doesn't teleport her. also casting a spell to transport someone isn't relevant to instant transmission teleportation which is what we're talking about
Ok but what’s atreus’s excuse
@@chefcorinth if you actually pay close attention to the seane where he thought she teleported you can actually hear a sound thats like a bird soring through the air meaning Freya was flying in her hawk form
When you talk about Freya and the mistletoe, there’s actually a sort-of explanation given to it. After the Baldur fight, Atreus asks Mimir why mistletoe harmed him. Mimir says that vanir magic is strange and tricky, assuming it makes sense for witches like Freya. What I got from that is that there needed to be someway for the curse to be broken and mistletoe was the method Freya chose, probably because she assumed the chances of Baldur getting hurt by it in anyway to be so small, and it fit with the spell she was trying to make.
It makes even more sense when you consider that in the original mythology Frigg(Freya) thought mistletoe was too innocent to hurt Baldur when she made him invincible.
@@conwizard7803 i mean, if we're going by the original lore, Baldur was also the goodest boy too, not a fight happy maniac with a mom complex.
@@denverarnold6210 Fair point, the story did shake up quite a bit of the mythology and it's characters, but the explanation given here does line up nicely with the original mythos.
@@conwizard7803 Not the first time they’ve done that.
Remember how the Greek Pantheon is immortal?
Alternatively in the actual myth mistletoe was too young to sign the contracts

For sin 129 Freya says nothing in the 9 realms can set that strong of a blaze. But the Blades Of Chaos aren't from the 9 realms.
Exactly...
They are. Midgard is Earth. Where is Greece? Earth.
Doctor Crabtastic the blades were made in the realm of Hades, The Underworld. Not earth
Doctor Crabtastic if that was the case, they’d be underwater because of Poseidon dying
@@FecalMatador they are almost
24:00 "Details man they are important"
Before you see the winged creature, mimir tells you it is a corpse eater, and when flapping it's wings causes the cold of helheim.
You know, generally I really enjoy these videos. It forces me to think about these kind of games and about the design and effort put into them, or lack of in some areas, but some of these sins are underserved. Mostly just the sins concerning dialogue information. For example Freyja says that no fire in the nine realms can make a flame in Hel, but the chaos blades are not made in any of the realms and that's Kratos fetches them and mimir confirms.
Normally I enjoy these videos cause they point out stupid or funny mistakes but this video he was sinning for no reason or just because kratos wasn't acting the same as previous games. He literally sinned because the boy was sad after killing someone for the first time just cause the dad said to expect to do that
@@wereling1325 I'd let that pass since Kratos was raised the Spartan way and Spartans generally thought nothing of death (further examples in Ghost of Sparta), but -- and this is unrelated -- I think the sin concerning Fate is undeserved. Kratos did kill the Sisters in the Greek saga, but since each pantheon has its own explanation for what controls fate, I fail to see how the Sisters of Fate could in any way affect the Norse pantheon. Wouldn't they be limited to just the Greek pantheon? The blades of Chaos already don't apply to the Norse realm, and going by these rules, the pantheons and their associated items of magic and/or divinity all exist in a vacuum unless brought by that world's inhabitant to another, like Kratos and the blades or Tyr and his worldly treasure room.

I'm disappointed that you sinned the elevators and hallways disguised as loading screens, and failed to mention that those existed for the purpose of the entire game taking place from one continuous camera view. That is not something easy to do, the entire game had to be set up in a way to make it possible
Yes, you said it better than me. It was very impressive of them, too.
@@Allen-ie4sy Sony exclusives are always more worried about story and cinematography than gameplay unless the developers are Japanese. It's really cool from a cinematography game, but as a person who plays games for gameplay, it doesn't matter
@@Allen-ie4sy it still would have been halted though, to load. The fact of the matter is they still managed to do it in one cut. Also to the other guy, what gameplay is this lacking? I was really happy with how God of War played and I think the slightly more weighed down feeling along with the closer perspective and slightly slower Axe movement made Kraits to feel more powerful, you know, like a god. It made you feel like you have weight and power and that you're more like a bear beating down than a mosquito chipping away at health
@@dadecalder7796 the ps5 version of God of war wont have had to halt for loading. This decision ruins future versions
Funny how everyone with any issue with the game here is also a snide prick. Lol
It's clear you're displeased, but the game clearly wasn't for you. =)
24:25: _Actually,_ he's the son of Zeus, and it's perfectly grammatically acceptable to refer to a demigod as a god, so YES, Kratos was born a god.
And he also earned his spot as a full god as well but got that taken away as we all know
didnt kratos find out he was the son of zeus when he was an adult? how come he never got the sickness that atreus had?
@@boblipsmacker Well, Mimir and Freyja both seemed to think that it was that Atreus' two natures were warring within him which caused the sickness, and Mimir went so far as to say that Atreus was picking up on Kratos' hatred for the gods - that would mean the father's hatred of that semidivine portion of his own son. Picking up on it, but not understanding it was a cause of Atreus' rejection of a part of himself in an attempt to earn his father's approval. To fix that, Atreus would have to know what he was, and that his father didn't hate HIM for it. Kratos understood this when it was pointed out to him; he even took the blame when he lamented *_"I_* did this to him?"
But Kratos himself did not grow up in a house where he could internalize his mother's (in this case) hatred for the gods, and he had no cause to doubt that his mother loved him. That's what I figure, at least.
@@WakenerOne you know that makes a fuck ton of sense, thx.
23:27 the reason they couldn't keep the original voice actor, was becuse they needed someone who was ideal enough for the motion capture for this new player model
Plus Kratos has gotten old since then.
still totally sin-worthy because they could still use Carson's voice as younger Kratos, and Chris Judge's as older and wiser.
(even though Carson is actually older than Judge *COUGH*)
It would have served continuity well and adds to that details this game did so well on :'(

BOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ZEUUUUUS !!!!!!
I've never understood why a character being characterized is a sin
It's usually a sin joke
Kratos always had character
What are you talking about?
What? No sin reduction for Mimir being one of the best side characters in a video game? He’s extremely funny and serves as the game’s way to teach its audience more about Norse mythology. That’s worthy of a 30 sin reduction
That story about Mimir nearly becoming "Mimir of the Bifröst Teats" is the best
A narrator/expositional machine in universe is still a narrator/expositional machine
To be fair, Kratos was technically a God before he got the throne as the God of War. Demi-god sure, but he still had God-like abilities.
Demi-gods never count as gods in classical myth. Indeed, the most famous of demi-gods Heracles only becomes a god after his death.
Fair enough, but technically speaking, Kratos wasn't wrong when he said he was born a God.
Here comes me and my Joey moment from Friends episode “The One Where Chandler hates dogs.” Ya think?
Actually since Kratos was born directly from Zeus himself i think he is a god.
Didn't need the retcon. He could have just had the power Ares blessed him with being THAT good and we'd be all fine, but no.
I see the “boy” as minus sins, but ok

@@kostadim7892 sick child is a big movie cliche. It is not mentioned again until the Boy starts to get angry during Magni/Modi fight. This channel is 1000000 times better than cinemasins. Also, if you want people to take what you're saying seriously then you shouldn't wear tasteless meme avatar.
@@RIDDICK0911 two things 1. I changed my profile recently I'm not going to revolve my channel around explaining why this as a whole is poorly done. 2 It's been stated that the child hasn't been sick for a good while and compared to Magni/Modi the duo hasn't really had to deal with anything too powerful so the boy's sickness wouldn't really resurface since his god genes don't kick in. Also I would like for you to name 3 other video games with a sick child who has to fight for his survival and then you can talk to me about cliche lol.
Yeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOWS biggest sin: Being a dark souls, TLOU rip, but having none of the emotional impact of TLOU or the gameplay of Souls
1:10 the second number 1 sin. I think the reason Kratos sometimes struggles wih certain tasks that would otherwise prove no obstacle at all is precisely because he is so insanely strong. He doesn’t want to obliterate the tree, he wants to chop the tree. He therefore applies minimum strength and increases it little by little up to the amount necessary for the task. Same with the chests. And this is something that all of us do often when confronted with a task that requires a yet to be determined amount of strength but probably less than our maximum. You can see this with the axe strikes that progressively increase in power.
copium
@@marcio2884 no u
Yeah but nobody is watching him cut a tree down with one blow
I agree with that 100 percent
idk, I think 2 hits would've been fine
24:17 Actually, yes he was. Since Zeus was his actual father and his mother was human that makes him a Demi-god. Just because he later became the God Of War doesn’t mean he wasn’t god before that. Or at least a Demi-god,
Bonus Sin Debunking:
26:38 Actually, they can make a blaze because the fire that’s charging it is from the Blades of Chaos, which were not made in Norse, aka the 9 realms. They were made in Greece by Hephaestus.
Exactly he sinned the first god of war so he probably killed the other games and somehow still doesn’t know this
Hephaestus didn't make the blades

33:28 No. It’s not “picking up on nuances and subtlety” that gave the plot twist away. It’s being familiar with Norse myth. All but one examples you give are just Norse myth hints, not game hints. That should be a sin off for rewarding players familiar with Norse myth for leaving clues through the story, or a good plot twist for people who are not as familiar with Norse myth. Not a sin.
And tbh, you really have to consider how much they had to remake every Norse myth without the involvement of Loki. Some people are saying that this game is trash and forced emotional moments. Fuck off. No emotion is forced. You feel the emotion of his decisions. When Kratos had, to tell the truth, you knew that this would be hard for him.
24:45: Nobody *ever* said that the Blades of Chaos are the _only_ way to transfer the winds of Hel. It's entirely feasible that the reason they only stick to the blades for ten seconds is that they AREN'T what was designed to transfer them.
Given the boss can transfer them that’s obvious

Hey, two years late, but while replaying the game I noticed that in the first encounter with Baldur he seems disappointed that you’re not taller. Baldur thought that Kratos was a giant, not a god. That’s why Baldur said “you know what I’m here” , because he came looking for Faye, the last giant alive.
He came looking for the last Giant, but he didn’t know it wasn’t Kratos, because Odin never specified it to him.
Kratos actually quotes Zues from God of War 2. When he kills Baldur for the second time.

13:42 "Mr.Kratos,i don´t feel so good"
22:44: Hol' up a minute. You're sinning Atreus for not picking up on the fact that his father is more than mortal (because he has abilities which exceed those of mortals) while at the same time sinning the fact that everything Atreus encounters is NOT mortal, but monster, troll, or god? If he has never encountered a mortal, _what do you expect him to have contrasted Kratos' abilities with???_
I thought of this when I started my replay yesterday, if he's never been around anyone but his parents, he has no clue that Kratos isn't perfectly average. Atreus could just be like "well he's normal so I'll grow into it eventually right?"
"You are a boy, aren't yeh?" Is this a reference to Loki's female forms? 35:27
I just realized
23:05 I always though they were the same blades throughout the Greek saga, Athena recovered them after the battle with Ares and blessed them at the end of GoW1 to convert them into Athena's blades. Then again she embued them with the souls of his fallen Spartan brothers and renamed them the Blades of Exile. Essentially the same weapon underneah the surface. When he betrayed her for the last time after killing Zeus they reverted back to their original form. Just a theory but works to explain why they are still called the blades of chaos.

Sin 119: Technically Kratos is a demigod since Zeus was revealed to be his biological father at the end of the second game and his mother is in fact a full mortal.
Not nickpicking but thought I clear that up the confusion
Orange justice literally no one 😂 but I kinda wanted to clear up confusion
AquaSaige14 during the events of GOW3 Kratos consumed Godly power of Hades, allowing him to swim in Styx. Before that, he pushed all of his own Godly power into Blade of Olympus.
The Greek gods could bestow godhood and immortality. So Kratos being a Demi-god isn't the same as him later becoming a god, like Heracles before him.
LupineShadowOmega demigod is still a god.
TheKizz20, nope. That would be why Heracles becomes the god of Strength after his death. And why not all demi-gods become gods. Ask Perseus.

“I’m a god, boy.” That’s a good line. XD
God boiii
Holy shit. GCN still makes videos?
what i love about this whole video, is that the bonus round actually generated more sins than the other main game sins.
That last bonus round “BOY!!” Lmfaooo omg
8:05 Why not a "Press X to-"
SHAUN!
5:24 23:56
*THIS* Is why i love you, GamingSins
Also...
**Breath in**
*B O I*
Wait you love them for shallow, overused and not really funny anymore references?
What?
LastLoneWolf FTW
Not only, but it's something that they'll always have more than CinemaSins. But they are *not* overused man, I'll Shin Shoryuken you into next week, *Boi*
O shit pls no
Now seriously, they are a bit overused, mainly the "GET OVER HERE" one, its predictable, just that. But this might just be the best gaming sins channel there is, i just wished they were a bit more innovative
Have a great day dude
umm, this isnt GaminSins. its a gaming sins series by GCN. GamingSins is a different channel altogether.
just saying. >_>
i DO think it is the guy from GamingSins, maybe he changed over or something, but GamingSins is a different channel.
Zwyrx Hgqfyggz Same I'm a hardcore MK & SF fan, so that was a treat for me, & also if I a got £1 for every time I heard "BOY" in this game I'd be rich LOOOL!
he was cursed to have the blades always return to him, it was explained in the novel that takes place between god of war 3 and this one
Understand that people don't read the novels like you and me that's why when people review these games without context of novels I don't take there opinion to heart
@@Freethinker_94 im not takin it to heart but i commented it in case some people wnated to know, i didn't even read it, i watched video recaps
4:28 I'm pretty sure the fact that Kratos's anger has controlled him for so long is the REASON he's saying that to Atreus. He knows how much of a double-edged sword anger can be.
Yea, pretty sure a game having "3rd Person Over the Shoulder Lock-On heavy hitting" combat doesn't make it Dark Souls Styled. I used to get annoyed when people tried to say games WEREN'T Dark Soul-Styled when they clearly were. Now I get annoyed when people make a blatantly wrong comparison and say it IS like Dark Souls.
Lord Flufflebuns You clearly phased out for a large majority of that section. It isn’t just the camera position he was mentioning but the fact light and heavy attacks are default mapped to the right shoulder and right trigger buttons. THAT was the Dark Souls comparison, not the third person camera
And Santa Monica said that dark souls was an inspiration for the combat soooo
Have you fought the Valkyries? The Lock On is abso-fucking-lute bu~llshit. It is so useless i dont even know why its a feature. Also the combat in general is pretty bad. All the runic attacks for the blades of chaos leave you ultra vulnerable, the axe is slow as shit, fists have a damage cap for some stupid ass reason, and if you dont have an hdr monitor, the game looks like shit. Also no more air combos like EVERY OTHER GOD OF WAR GAME.
NotAPenguin I thought the combat was great
@@onninti2685 the combat is great, especially the fluidness of the combos, but some attacks just had problems.
The "God of Infinity War" line secured you a like.
I’m very deep in the sequel, and I’m glad to report that the main story boss implementation has improved significantly.
There are many things Ragnarok did well, but I think the bosses deserve a special mention.
10:20 my take from it was that Brok meant *in* between the realms, on the branches of the world tree, as these specific branches don’t take you to a specific realm, only in between them.
I thought of a less confusing name for this game.
God of War: Kratos and Boy
Dad of boy
In real Greek mythology, Kratos is the good of strength and power. He had three siblings bearing similar titles and his mother punished any gods who would break an oath.
@@LegendaryDarkKnight602 in Greek mythology "kratos" doesn't exist cartos is just a dude
Boy = life
Plus HOW TAF DID HE FIND EVERY SINGLE BOY IN THE FRICKIN GAMEZ!???!!!
I RATE IT BUT JESUS
24:30 well he is the son of Zeus so technically he was born a god
No, he was born a Demi-god not a god
@@RoundShades537 still a god btw
Khang To no, there are huge differences between gods and Demi-gods
Goran Sipka he wasn’t born a god he was born a badass Spartan the best spartan general that ever lived
He was born a demi-God and became a God after killing Ares and was promoted as the God of War.
He becomes a Demi-God again after the Rhodes battle.
Ghost of Sparta is the only game where Kratos holds his God of War title, interestingly.
back to when u said he only became a god when he was the god of war, dude, he’s literally the son of zeus. “face me father”? dead giveaway.
Bro pulled a mimir with the dead giveaway
In the myths freya traveled to every living thing and asked them to not harm baldur but she forgot mistletoe
Lolz
Freya said magic from the 9 realms wouldn’t work in Helheim and technically the blades aren’t from any of those 9 realms.
Isn't earth midgard. And greece is in earth.
Also the Blades of Chaos are from Hades.
@@MrGister9999 the blades are from tartarus and are named after the primordial chaos not only for name
I love the Mario 3 sound effect used when he takes off a sin.
29:09 actually no. By this point in the game i was pretty over leveled. This side quest is definitely not necessary. None of them are really you can get through the entire story without doing the extra shit
1 like = 1 boy
“That is the most gorgeous JPEG background I have seen in a modern video game.” Adds 1 sin
Me: Wait, how is that a sin
well because look over there a cliche
Because reasons. Or aliens. I think this dude just wants to hate things for the sake of hating them
@@MollyFC and for the Sake of clicks
Could y’all not tell sarcasm lmaooo
@@NXTHNU. Its shit sarcasm, I like GCN and Cinemasins but sometimes their attempts at sarcasm just come off as saying something for the sake of saying something and then hiding behind the "its sarcasm" argument.
Absolutely love how much mystery and action lies within this game.
Why does everyone feels like it's wrong that Kratos is giving Atreus lessons on controlling his anger, I mean, couldn't he learn from his past.
this might be the worst sins video i've ever seen
This is mostly just his opinions, nothing having to do with flaws in the game, but more with his preferences. I also thought it was funny how he pointed out the GOW doesn't have a very good way of making a lot of different combos and attacks when you can literally swap different runic attacks in and out whenver you'd like.
It’s almost like nitpicking is the ENTIRE POINT OF THE CHANNEL AND THAT’S THE JOKE
@@Ada242 well unfortunately, for this occasion, the joke was not too funny
Patrick Schmitz and that fact he has no idea what he’s talking about makes his m look like a moron
Bruce Brock it's the same problem with cinema sins, the jokes aren't funny if they are blatantly wrong...
@@ragnar3203 OMG I was thinking the same thing when he was talking about controlling anger I was like... Does he not know what happened between the time skip
Takes one look at the title..."You do not want this fight"
I think the reason Artreus didn't think Kratoses strength was strange for a human was because he probably didn't meet a lot of humans when living isolated in the forest. He probably just assumed whatever his parents could do was normal for humans
The music in this game is extremely haunting and powerful
20:52
I can hear kratos say that all day
Who's with me 😎
0:54 After saying this every sin after does not exist.
Any sin after this statement is a sin for your video here on out. You will only be tallying yourself.
*sonic ring noise*
Ahh, some of this sins are actually correct (and some of them is being nitpicking)
as he usually says: "No game is without sin"
That in no way means the sins in this video are invalid
are you claiming this game is without sin because it's better than he thought it'd be, when he had very low expectations for this game? that's just sad
I already saw 2 of these "everything wrong with", and yet no one ever talked about how the heck atreus managed to kill that big ass amount of dark elves all by himself
5:41 I mean technically you kill Poseidon At the start of the god of war three
Or the Hydra or the Colossus of Rhodes.
I thought it was towards the end.
*B O I* of War
It's 5:40 AM and I'm bored...
4:29 Oh yes let's just use examples of only younger Kratos not practicing what he is preaching, because that's always fair.
5:24 Yes, because people don't lie. Ever.
6:20 Better than a loading screen with a little revolving circle.
7:49 No...what? No, of course not, Atreus not being able to do what's necessary to complete the journey but then proving that wrong is the whole point of at least the first act or so of the game.
8:00 Baldur and Thor's sons aren't boss battles?
8:41 Gods, and just people in general, have always shown to be giant pieces of shit, what makes you think Odin wouldn't judge Kratos for being an outsider even if Odin himself was one in other lands? Also, Tyr wouldn't be unkind to Kratos, because he's dead, so mute point.
9:26 Or the ancient serpent is just wise enough to know.
12:00 Well, what are you expecting, the snow to fall into the forest?
13:11 Each pantheon is responsible for their land, the Greek pantheon is responsible Greece, the Egyptian pantheon for Egypt, etc, there's no reason for fate of different lands to be controlled by different entities.
17:53 A bluff.
18:51 Why would you sin the game for a plot hole in Nordic Myth?
19:33 Mimir agreed which implies he also believes it which might as well mean that he had said it.
23:27 The fact that he still has them just goes to show you how much he really cannot escape what he was.
24:34 Just because the only way Kratos can move the Winds of Hel is with the Blades of Chaos, it doesn't mean Tyr couldn't move them with something else of his own creation, perhaps.
25:08 Hold the fuck up, saved what humanity? You literally just said he caused a world wide *apocalypse*. Seems like a pretty big consequence to me.
26:33 Wasn't there an interaction later on that revealed that Odin had blocked Mimir's mind from knowing certain details about Baldur, including his weakness to mistletoe and, most likely, who his mother is?
26:38 That's the whole point of bringing the Blades of Chaos along, they're the only one that are powerful enough to burn in Hel. Also, the fact that the blades use Greek magic and not Nordic magic may affect the "no magic" thing.
27:34 Not even Mimir knew about needing the eyes thing to unlock the message, he only guessed so.
29:32 Why? The serpent is lying down so why would the statue flow all the way down as if it were downstream?
30:14 She could've figured it out, right? His name must be pretty famous considering he took down the entire Greek pantheon.
31:29 - 33:00 That was so fucking obnoxious, holy fuck don't ever do that again. Anyways, just because you mention ever detail doesn't mean the prophecy does, and if it did, it doesn't even matter, it's prophecy, there's no "too many actions" limit, you predict shit and it comes true, that's it.
33:27 As others have pointed out: Bullshit, you unless you know and remember a bunch of names and events from Nordic mythology you wouldn't be able to tell shit.
31 video sins because I'm counting that two minute and half sin shit for 10.
Kenti Just like the real cinemasins GCN takes everything out of context, jumps to retarded assumptions and treats them as fact and can never take anything at face value, god dartigan is so much better than this arrogant asshole.
Agreed
Brainstorm 101 the video is like 90% made for comical purposes, most things here aren't actual faults in the game :)
LOPES HICK Don't use that, all these CinemaSins rip off want to do is look like deep thinking critics first comedy second, UNLIKE Cinema Sins
Snakeskin94 meh i don't care man. I watch these videos because I think they're funny, they don't really influence how I see any game
1:11
He's trying to control his anger...
God of War. Runs at a steady 60 boys per second
