I like this approach so much better. I hate having to find hidden lore and having to read it. Instead we get Mimir who's story telling adds so much more life while playing.
I love how pointedly Mimir tells Kratos the moral of the story. "AND SO THE BEST WAY TO GET REVENGE ON A GOD IS TO LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER AND LOVE YOUR CHILDREN. HINT HINT BROTHER!"
@nikhil nair it's been a good minute since I've played the PS4 god of war but if I'm not mistaken the ending hints at atreus/loki kills kratos. Kratos is set to kill Thor as well as there's plans for this being another trilogy. Again if I'm not mistaken.
I think this is the kind of ending that Kratos strives for with his life so I wouldn't say he was disappointed. Kratos knows that revenge is not the way to peace and Bergelmir earned his peaceful ending without any sort of vengeance. I think the worst Kratos would feel about this story is envy for Bergelmir, which is pretty minor of a grievance.
Mimir (in kratos ear most of the time): "blablabla, bla bla~ ! Ocean Of Blood..." Kratos: "Finally a story worth hearing." Something never changes I'm afraid.
Hmm.... People have gravely misunderstood kratos's character. He is a learner he probably would be having as much knowledge about Norse mythology as atreus have. Remember the we saw Thor's statue.
GorgonS lol every GoW game had a decapitated gorgon... they got uglier as kratos killed more lol Helios got it pretty bad but Mimir was the best head ever
If he gets an end that's anything like "Logan" I think it would be just as fitting and maybe even satisfying for him. That's my opinion though. I'm sure in his heart he would wish for a less violent end
namekman01 Agreed. I also would ship them both but not sure how. Is it wrong to have a third wife? I mean Kraytos is a Greek so there is some precedent right?
“I’ve never heard a story end that way. Not a true one anyway.” “Few do, laddie...” Mimir’s solemn tone says it all. Peace and Prosperity is a rarity not to be taken for granted.
This one of my favorite story’s. Of course it’s sad, but the fact that Kratos was intrigued is enough to make someone happy. The other one is where Mimir says to reflect and like 5 seconds he starts to talk. But Kratos interrupts him by saying Reflect longer. 😁😁
Mimir: It begins with lots of blood! Kratos: Finally, a story worth t- Mimir: The guy who got wronged came out happy not by taking revenge on the gods, but by living a family life! Kratos: Well,...that's just...your opinion, man.
I love how most players I've seen don't go on land when someone starts a story, just so that they can listen to it. That's some good writing. wow thanks for the likes now I can flex on my friends
I like what Mimir said there. "His vengeance was to live, and prosper." There are so few stories like that. Most have the aggrieved seek vengeance through violence and bloodshed. It takes a truly strong soul to let a life well lived despite all odds be their statement, and their legacy. Verily, one might say that to _live_ is even greater a sacrifice than to die.
Wow I agree with the Boi here. That was a really nice story to be honest. Thank you God of War for not being so grim dark and filled with angst. :) ...I say knowing what the rest of the game is lol.
It would make sense, because it was the devil who gave Ymir her powers and the game does have the Norse and Greek gods in it so why not Jesus and the devil too.
Depends under what circumstance. If someone killed your child I doubt the person would care at all if you lived happily ever after, let alone be disturbed by the fact.
@@MohammadAli-iz9ld everyone gets a warning, and people don't take warnings now because everyone talks crazy, but thats not my problem. Everyone gets one.
*sobs after hearing story* that's so....beautiful! Even in the clutches of doom, a man still thrives and dies surrounded by loving family and friends! It's so very bittersweet!
SMI1EFAC3GAMING incest becomes really bad the longer it goes on. Inbreading starts after multiple Generation to be experational bad. As long as they keeped mixing later it should work even if some children would suffer.
This game is unbelievable how Mimir is always constantly telling stories and he's always giving us the lore. 10/10

Not even kratos can resist mimir's charm. His stories make people steer their boats away from the shore.
ITwas lmfaoooo
I would imagine the he would be extremely useful for sailors if they were to travel past some Sirens.
When he started a story I always stayed on the lake until he finished. I just loved his stories and calming voice
Ha, so true!
ITwas so very true! I find myself stalling to hit the shore line. The narration he gives only adds to the beauty of this game. It is a masterpiece.
Zeus: aw what a cute baby
Kratos: smiles :3

"it begins in an ocean of blood" "FINALLY, a story worth hearing" lmfao, that was great.
Kratos really changed ! xD
wolf ofice hahahahhahajajajahjahajajajajajajahahhahahaha
ZESTY I'm pretty sure he's kinda dissapointed by the story though. He thought it'll be about a bloodbath war or something.
When I heard Kratos say that while I played I was like “calm down man...ease your boner”

The whole story is a perfect fit.

Seeing Kratos smiling is like seeing your teacher wear shorts, shit just doesn't look right.
Except, have you seen grade school teachers these days? Definitely not what I remember.
Imagine in the next game. Kratos will be laugh, smiling and laughing or any if that shyt, ur imaginations of teachers will be just wearing undies
While we're add it. Imagine Kratos on the beach with a hawai shirt, short jeans, sunglasses and a strawhat😂😂
Imagine having a hotter than thou teacher and she wears shorts shorts all the time

It's like seeing reality break.
I found it actually charming. Is good to see that even he can take a break and be nice unless for once.
andres neira Your right
What's not to like about his smile? After all he's been through.
It's not the fact that he's smiling, it's the horrible strained look of it and the mental images of what he may possibly be smiling at
He probably ignored everything Mimir said after “ocean of blood”
Smile goes away as soon as he says they did not seek revenge
he definitely stopped listening when he realised the direction the story would take
No, he didn't.
Hmm....
People have gravely misunderstood kratos's character. He is a learner he probably would be having as much knowledge about Norse mythology as atreus have. Remember the we saw Thor's statue.
@@anjalibadke8705 Yes, they have.
At least this time the head he's toting around wasn't ripped off the body of a Sun God to be his personal lantern.

AT THE CORE At least it was consensual…
At least Mimir asked for it
way better than a Gorgon.

Can’t blame them just hearing foreign legends are such a mystery yet so alluring one does not hesitate to stop to listen
Cmajj that's exactly what I do
I also do it to hear kratos stories too
Not only that but I think if he doesn't finish the story it won't be added to the journal
Good writing? I think you mean bad game design
"His vengance was to live, and prosper." Man, this game is deep.
"The story begins in an ocean of blood."
"FINALLY, a story worth hearing."
Wow Kratos, be careful. You might cut yourself on that edge

I didn't know Kratos could smile
They say that every time he smiles, it is really Cthulhu having a nightmare.
He did once, when his daughter briefly was alive again
Kratos smiling has the same consequences to reality as Mandy (Grim Adventures) smiling.
What part does he smile?
So, if you didnt know about it, go play Ascension Xdddd shitt game

Ymir: "He never sought vengeance."
Kratos: Well, it started off good.
Nothing gives you chills down the spine like that smile on the thumbnail.
Mimir story telling makes the game excellent. I can listen to him on a radio podcast all day
Oh...Ymir...now I know a little more about Attack on Titan.

However Ymir is a fitting name for the first Titan.
It would make sense, because it was the devil who gave Ymir her powers and the game does have the Norse and Greek gods in it so why not Jesus and the devil too.
