Yes I was confused by this while playing, but the collectible you get after killing her mentions her name "Callisto". If you look up who that is in greek mythology, its a woman who gets turned into a bear by Hera (Zeus' wife) after she finds out that Callisto was intimate with Zeus (hence where Kratos came from and how Zeus is his father). Theres more to her story than that but I believe that's all that's relevant to her role in the game. So it seems they adapted that story to mean someone changed her to a bear to prevent Kratos knowing who his father is.
@Ransford Flentjar well yeah because a psp came out in 2004/5 and a switch was out in 2017. Point is the Nvidia chip for its time is weak and not sustainable enough for modern releases of varying degrees. The psp/vita were powerful for the times they came out. Switch in general has been already beaten by steam deck now in terms of price/performance. The only thing Nintendo has going for switch is exclusives now.
@Ransford Flentjar I think he's saying the Switch has outdated hardware because the specs were outdated from the start and not because it can't compete with recent PCs. Wii had the same problem: It was all about periphery and exclusives but the graphics were always crappy. You can't emulate any PS3 game on a smartphone but Switch emulation is often better than on the official hardware.
The spoiler section being cut is pretty lame. A good bit of people watched these reviews for the opinion that would be given on the story. For me at least the reviews have been lacking becasue of it.
They really don't. Having sponsors and paid for videos, they don't really have to change up their video format. Reading some of the other comments going back it's painfully obvious that at least some people liked that part of the video.
I know right? I miss the spoiler sections so much, they where allways my fav. part of his videos. This game is a good example, the final battle, I would love to hear his opinion about it, but no... I still don't get why he removed it in the first place.
MediocritysMuse jirard has said on twitter previously that something along the lines of 80% or more of viewers would just tap out for spoilers and not finish the video. I get it, missing the spoilers, I do too. But if watch rates were that bad I'd drop them too. If those rates have improved since there really is no benefit to readding the spoiler section or separating it into a new video series. If you've seen him talk more about the behind the scenes, jirard is already working a very restrictive schedule with little to no free time, little sleep and very little time for his family. i couldn't think he could juggle even more, if he could find another way to do it without adding on more work that'd be nice but until then his videos still maintain what the vast majority of his viewers seem to want.
yeah but comments are comments. the majority of people don't comment irregardless of content. so yeah analytics show that people skip certain segments of a given video, and i imagine that's what jirard uses for formatting his videos.
For me, God of War ranks as such: Because Ghost of Sparta is So damn good. 1-GoW2 2-Ghost of Sparta 3-GoW3 4-Gow1 5-Chains of olympus And there's ascension. Some decent ideas, never fully fleshed out, kinda good. Hope the New one can innovate, while still providing a game that is as incredible as its predecessors.
I haven't ever touched the GOW franchise, but generally I think its kind of hard to go back. I know for me I've done that with a few games, and well. iunno. DMC is the perfect franchise in my eyes for this. All the old fans hated the reboot, yet new ones liked it. Then tried to play the old games and hated it. just how it is.
Ghost was actually my favorite, it was simple, but It condensed most of the great parts of god of war with very little of the annoying stuff like puzzles.
PLEASE complete NieR: Automata or the original NieR. It's got some really interesting completionist stuff that this channel would just have a ball with. There's nothing like NieR: Automata out there and it's the best game I've played in a decade.
I feel bad for the completeinist. He does so much work of playing video games ( I know that sounds ridiculous ) but he barely gets any views and I think he has a hard time supporting himself and anyone who helps him. I say Jirad deserves more views.
I started my first 100% Series stream back in April with the God of War Series, so far I have 100% God of War Ascension, Chains of Olympus, GOW1 and Ghost of Sparta.. and let me tell you it ain't easy, it takes a lot of work and patience to do this, I can only imagine what is it like doing it for multiple games that require multiple playthroughs... As much I look to playing the last/best games of GOW Series (GOW II, III & IV) I know they're going to be the hardest of the bunch
I hope you see this cause I just want to say thanks. I've spent all day grinding trophies for kingdom hearts 2 and I just kept playing your videos on a playlist to keep me entertained. I haven't even been paying attention to the rating at the end but just enjoying listening to you talk about the games good or bad.
DUDE!...LOVE...the new intro...I won't lie to you...Wanted to see blonde hair and beard with that DBZ sound effect but hey...STILL got me super pumped. AM I the only one that thinks Jirard should be in a metal band as the super deep voice lead "singer"? I'd buy that album...and T-shirt...and coffeemug.
8:25 if you look in the treasures in god of war 1's main menu (if you have it unlocked) the one 'treasure' reveals that kratos' mom is cursed, the curse is that if kratos ever tries to find out who his father is, via his mom(due to her obviously being the best way of finding out), she will turn into a monster and kill him
I was thinking of buying the Origins Collection, and I didn't because I didn't know enough about the PSP games Definitely going to buy the Origins Collection
As a Fan of The God of war Series for year's Why not just put Both @TCCarson 👈 and @iamchrisjudge as kratos in the NEXT Game so we the Fan's can pick in the Game which voice we want to play as kratos this way Old and New Fan's can play as there favourite kratos @corybarlog 👈this is there Twitter name's 👍

Fuck UA-cam. I always watched the spoiler section. Sure some people might have skipped it because they want to see it themselves, but taking it out is less content for everyone else. Also I liked hearing your opinion on the sometimes crazy plots. I miss the spoiler section
I liked the spoiler section, loved hearing his thoughts on it, and usually enjoy spoilers in general. But yeah, I can see why he'd leave that section out considering the drop in viewership and that many viewers didn't return to video either.
or maybe his masters over at nintendo told him to can the spoiler section because kids will be discourage to buy their games if they already see the ending.
I quite liked the story caused it gave Kratos some humanity. Until this point, all his actions were driven by revenge and a thirst for violence. But in here, he actually sets out to help someone other than himself. Shows that, despite his monstrous behavior, there genuinely is someone capable of caring in there.

@@mothbones2 I'm staying in next God of war Game we have both @TCCarson and @iamchrisjudge as kratos so in Game we the Fan's can pick witch voice we want to play as kratos this why old and new FAN'S can play as there favourite kratos If they did that get both Tc Carson and Christopher as kratos old and new fan's can play as there favourite voice kratos and everybody wins and they will make so much money on if you think about
oh man i remember playing this, i loved it seeing as it was one of the only God of War games I was able to play since i could never afford a normal Playstation.
Hell yeah! I had the red GoW PSP. I had so many people ask me what it was on the train I rode everyday. And if you jailbroke it, I could load emulators and homebrews on it. I loved that thing.

The Hellboy joke cracked me up. I used to work at Toys R Us a few years ago dealing with the video games, and I remembered that being on PSP somehow. Also, if you ever want to dive into a long RPG to complete, you should check out Disgaea. I've gotten back to it again and it it has a level cap of 9999.
5:22 - "Breathlessly" from Katawa Shoujo Holy shit! That seriously distracted me from the joke, and I love when Jirard makes jokes like this. I guess It's still rare to find people familiar enough with the game to make references to it. Possibly my favourite game of all time. But I can't recommend it. Or properly explain why I love it. My reasons are too personal. "Excellent music", is about as objective a critique I can give.
Jirard you should do The Witcher 3 with the dlc (Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine). I'm not trying to get you to play a seemingly endless game, but recommending what I consider to be one of, if not the best game I've ever played. Well written and great voice acting, with a beautiful story and world to accompany it.
toongrowner1 Yeah, I agree with you on this one.The first and one and Chains of Oympus are clearly the weakest, the first being...well... the first and Chains of Olympus having the weakest story, end boss and pacing overall (I mean, HALF of the game happens in that stupid Helios chariot, the other one in Hades...).But don't get me wrong, they are still awesome games, parts of a great franchise.I can't wait for the new one!
I mean, I think GoW1 has the best story and Chains of Olympus has at least some delicious irony in that Kratos's daughter is named Calliope - who in actual Greek mythology was the muse of eloquence and poetry, so the whole game involves Kratos running after and then slaughtering the proxy of art. Further, there's a great old Extra Credits episode about Kratos's character arc across GoW, 2, and 3, and I can't see GoW any other way. Also, I just couldn't stand playing GoW2. It just felt... wrong, unsatisfying, and pointless. And like, you could have easily condensed the story to be the first act of 3. It felt so drawn out and boring.
To each their own.IMO, GoW2 is the best in the series and has the best mythology encounters (Prometheus, Theseus, Perseus, Icarus etc.).The weapons are also the greatest, at least you don't have 3 chain swords, like in 3.The Challenges are hard as ass, but I completed them twice.Too bad I've never been able to finish it on Titan, it's extremly punishing
I actually prefer that there are no spoilers, because it always bummed me out when I had to skip a part of your videos, because I didn't want to get spoiled.
I'd love to see you complete Space Marine, which I think was deeply underrated. Also, it has a gun that fires self propelled armor piercing explosives that cause people to explode from the inside out! And that ain't the special gun. That's your basic side arm!

"A brother who we never knew existed..." Oh come on, Jirard! Haven't you already completed the first game? There was a secret movie about Deimos after you complete the game on any difficult. Though GoS retconned some details, it was still a thing from GoW1, that Kratos had a brother.
I'm not sure why your even surprised that Ghost Of Sparta looked so damn good on the PSP. If Nintendo has taught us anything is that it's not the hardware that matters it's what you do with it. Not what you can or can't do, not what you try to do, what you actually do. There is no hardware limitations and there is no trying the best you can, there is no room for such excuses, there's only do or do not. Any developer or publisher that thinks otherwise has no business making video games...
the PSP (and Vita) is awesome for short bursts of gaming. You can always turn it off and start again right at the same place you stopped. And the Battery is not drained as much as the 3/DS in Standby. You can stop during a Fight in a RPG or even druing a Jump in a Platformer. I used to play a lot of PSP druing my school time. Becuase i had to drive over a hour by Bus and Train. And i could stop at anytime when i arrived. :)
Really? Barely anyone watches the spoiler section?! For all the reasons for Jirard removing that feature, I wasn't expecting that. A shame too, because it's a section I always look forward to.
Ghost of Sparta was awesome and Thanatos was a great choice for a villain. And Chains of Olympus was good too.
We knew his brother existed. He is mentioned in God of War 1 in the unlockable side story content...
He should know that since he hasplayed god of war 1
Dude, the mother transformator because Zeus puts a curse on her which makes her transform if she tells kratos the truth
Yes I was confused by this while playing, but the collectible you get after killing her mentions her name "Callisto". If you look up who that is in greek mythology, its a woman who gets turned into a bear by Hera (Zeus' wife) after she finds out that Callisto was intimate with Zeus (hence where Kratos came from and how Zeus is his father). Theres more to her story than that but I believe that's all that's relevant to her role in the game. So it seems they adapted that story to mean someone changed her to a bear to prevent Kratos knowing who his father is.
The PSP was great. I really wish Sony hadn't completely failed on marketing the Vita, because it's easily the best handheld ever made.
Sam Vimes and see how the Switch marketing is brilliant
It could have bin so great they really had gold there
@Ransford Flentjar it's really not it's running outdated hardware that was outdated when it came out
@Ransford Flentjar well yeah because a psp came out in 2004/5 and a switch was out in 2017. Point is the Nvidia chip for its time is weak and not sustainable enough for modern releases of varying degrees. The psp/vita were powerful for the times they came out.

They really don't. Having sponsors and paid for videos, they don't really have to change up their video format. Reading some of the other comments going back it's painfully obvious that at least some people liked that part of the video.

Dude that intro is still amazing. Every time I watch it
Every
God damn
Time
For me, God of War ranks as such: Because Ghost of Sparta is So damn good.
1-GoW2
2-Ghost of Sparta
3-GoW3
4-Gow1
5-Chains of olympus
And there's ascension. Some decent ideas, never fully fleshed out, kinda good.
Hope the New one can innovate, while still providing a game that is as incredible as its predecessors.
I fully agree with your list and Ascension was just a meh adventure.
Jordan .Lacroix Why was ascension so bad? I still don't understand and I've beaten it 3 times now.
+Mister Shots Play GOW 3 and then immediately play GOW Ascensions. You will see why.
I haven't ever touched the GOW franchise, but generally I think its kind of hard to go back. I know for me I've done that with a few games, and well. iunno. DMC is the perfect franchise in my eyes for this. All the old fans hated the reboot, yet new ones liked it. Then tried to play the old games and hated it. just how it is.
Really, 1 didnt age well...and 2 is a master piece
The psp games were on par with their ps2 counterparts. Pretty amazing feat. Resistance had a pretty damn good psp outing as well.
Ghost was actually my favorite, it was simple, but It condensed most of the great parts of god of war with very little of the annoying stuff like puzzles.
*"HARRY´S!*, Kratos screamed.
*"EAT AT HARRY´S!"* Perfect advertisement.
SPOILER COMMENT:
I've completed every God of War game and never realised the grave digger was Zeus.
Loutbag ( _dramatic_ ) DUN DUN DUN !
Really??
Yeah....it's in th GoW Ghost of Sparta gamr
REALLY !!!! i never would know
Well i did in this same game
I think Sony Santa Monica saw your thumbnails and decided that Kratos would look pretty badass with a beard
Thanatos being a lesser known god? Blasphemy!
especially because of persona 3...The Thanatos persona IS A PART OF THE MAIN STORY SPOILER ALERT
Korodan the Lion King in this game ... Thanatos is a primordial ..
PLEASE complete NieR: Automata or the original NieR. It's got some really interesting completionist stuff that this channel would just have a ball with. There's nothing like NieR: Automata out there and it's the best game I've played in a decade.
Bro did bearded Kratos before Santa Monica
Congrats to Demetri Martin! I love your very unorthodox brand of Stand Up comedy.
Isn't the whole point of a spoiler section that fewer people will watch it?
Right? Seriously wtf.
I feel bad for the completeinist. He does so much work of playing video games ( I know that sounds ridiculous ) but he barely gets any views and I think he has a hard time supporting himself and anyone who helps him. I say Jirad deserves more views.
several hundred thousand views or more per video is nothing to feel sorry about. he and the the rest of the team are living well.
Jirard is a god we need to build him a temple
I come from the future: he's killing it with his numbers.
Fudge UA-cam. The spoiler section was BADASS! Add it please!
Ghost of Sparta is honestly my favourite God of War game in the series, I loved beating the shit out of Thanatos and meeting Deimos
Excuse me?! Crisis core was incredible!
Devan Weathers crisis core Was the reason why I bought a psp in the first place
Fun but......SO DAMN HARD
Jad Bouch its hard for the hands.....and the heart
crisis core was hard?... unless you chose hard mode as your first walkthrough, normal ain't that hard, even easier if you do missions.
the slots ruin the battle system and the writing is an absolute disaster. angeal and genesis are terrible characters.
I started my first 100% Series stream back in April with the God of War Series, so far I have 100% God of War Ascension, Chains of Olympus, GOW1 and Ghost of Sparta.. and let me tell you it ain't easy, it takes a lot of work and patience to do this, I can only imagine what is it like doing it for multiple games that require multiple playthroughs... As much I look to playing the last/best games of GOW Series (GOW II, III & IV) I know they're going to be the hardest of the bunch

Crisis core was one of the most memorable games ive ever played.
And god of war on psp was impressive as hell.
Great video.
i love how he just lays out all the shit talk first and then all the love
I was thinking of buying the Origins Collection, and I didn't because I didn't know enough about the PSP games
Definitely going to buy the Origins Collection
Those 2 PSP remasters are actually my favorite God of War games 😀

i don't know why, but the Dad of War meme always cracks me up.
I swear the intros just keep getting better and better. Soon we will be a anime level. Keep up the good work!!
I went back and watched some of the "Why we love games" videos. You really should start up the mini series again. I miss them.

LoL
Quick question. Has the Completionist ever done Bordelrand? If not did he said he would do it ?
sora00745 he did it's an early one
i think he did Borderlands 1
way back in season one he did the first BL game. I would like a BL 2 review (best BL game... my opinion)
dude, do you understand how long it would take to 100% BL2!?
sora00745 he is currently doing it as I saw him playing BL2 in an Insta post. So it should be coming in a while.

I loved Ghost of Sparta. It's one of the many reasons why I still have my PSP.

Hell yeah! I had the red GoW PSP. I had so many people ask me what it was on the train I rode everyday. And if you jailbroke it, I could load emulators and homebrews on it. I loved that thing.

I will never get over how AMAZING the intro is
One of the best intros ive seen on youtube
Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal please! It's the best one in the series and you'll love it! The new game doesn't do it justice.
"Reviews are weird. Video games are fun."
Epic intro dude
8:57 Hey! He's not lesser known! he was the leader of the underworld army with pitty pat at his feet!
When you said Dimitri I freaked out and then I heard the last name lol
Kratos' mother and brother are mentioned in GoW1's bonus videos. I can't believe you didn't know that, mate. You even get a trophy for watching it.
Actually Kratos's brother was mentioned before this game. it was on one of the videos that you unlock after beating the original GoW called The Beast.
"But Jirard.." Love the throwback bro
I love the unscathed challenge 10/10 would spam all day lol
Well darn.
Congrats Demitri
The Hellboy joke cracked me up. I used to work at Toys R Us a few years ago dealing with the video games, and I remembered that being on PSP somehow.

Holy shit! That seriously distracted me from the joke, and I love when Jirard makes jokes like this.
I guess It's still rare to find people familiar enough with the game to make references to it.
Possibly my favourite game of all time. But I can't recommend it. Or properly explain why I love it. My reasons are too personal. "Excellent music", is about as objective a critique I can give.
we love you Jarrad and keep completeing game
Hey hey hey now, DAXTER was pretty damn awesome for that time!

Yeah, the first Hellboy is a super cool movie.
alouette200 and the second one is okay
Sam Reddig Gaming I think it has neat ideas, like the steam man and the giant gear sneak fight, but other than that, it's pretty lame...

Yeah, of course!

Man, seeing you play these other spectacle fighters just makes me wish you'd do a couple for the Bayonetta series!
BRING BACK THE SPOILER SECTION PLEASE!!!
i'll make you some toast if you do :)
Dude man, Chains of Olympus was rad. Play it, it rocks. I love the original God of War, hated 2, and enjoyed Chains of Olympus so much more than 2.
Me too, for me, God Of War works A LOT better in the PSP, I wanna see if the Reboot will change that...
odd, I feel the complete oposite: GoW2 is my absolute favourite, while Chains of Olympus is allmost my least favourite.
toongrowner1 Yeah, I agree with you on this one.The first and one and Chains of Oympus are clearly the weakest, the first being...well... the first and Chains of Olympus having the weakest story, end boss and pacing overall (I mean, HALF of the game happens in that stupid Helios chariot, the other one in Hades...).But don't get me wrong, they are still awesome games, parts of a great franchise.I can't wait for the new one!

Further, there's a great old Extra Credits episode about Kratos's character arc across GoW, 2, and 3, and I can't see GoW any other way. Also, I just couldn't stand playing GoW2. It just felt... wrong, unsatisfying, and pointless. And like, you could have easily condensed the story to be the first act of 3. It felt so drawn out and boring.
To each their own.IMO, GoW2 is the best in the series and has the best mythology encounters (Prometheus, Theseus, Perseus, Icarus etc.).The weapons are also the greatest, at least you don't have 3 chain swords, like in 3.The Challenges are hard as ass, but I completed them twice.Too bad I've never been able to finish it on Titan, it's extremly punishing
Man your work is epic, love your animation.
And he’s wrong in this video with the story
I actually prefer that there are no spoilers, because it always bummed me out when I had to skip a part of your videos, because I didn't want to get spoiled.
These God of War reviews got me thinking, The Completionist should do Asura's Wrath.
I only own one UMD movie: Old Boy. Great movie. Fun little mystery for the whole family.
I'd love to see you complete Space Marine, which I think was deeply underrated.
Also, it has a gun that fires self propelled armor piercing explosives that cause people to explode from the inside out! And that ain't the special gun. That's your basic side arm!
Im right now trying complete it on god mode and speedrun it nice to see it here again
As a Fan of The God of war Series for year's Why not just put Both @TCCarson 👈 and @iamchrisjudge as kratos in the NEXT Game so we the Fan's can pick in the Game which voice we want to play as kratos this way Old and New
Fan's can play as there favourite kratos @corybarlog 👈this is there Twitter name's .
Sounds like he's saying God of War Goes to Sparta.
I just imagine Kratos on a road trip.
i can wait for the other two god of war games
"A brother who we never knew existed..." Oh come on, Jirard!
Haven't you already completed the first game?
There was a secret movie about Deimos after you complete the game on any difficult. Though GoS retconned some details, it was still a thing from GoW1, that Kratos had a brother.
I beat the first one but never knew that existed lol
What's the music at 5:22 ?
I know i heard it somewhere before, but I can't remember.
You need to do a "The Completionist" episode on Sly 3 and/or Sly 4(Thieves in Time)
Holy shit ghost of Sparta is my childhood game
Ghost of Sparta should have had the god Glaucus as a boss (in fact he loved Scylla before she was turned into a monster)
Holy shit, was that a Street Shark?! I remember those toys, I loved those things!
I haven't played god of war for 2 years I was lucky that I found this.
Woah POP Con huh, I only went to wondercon in 2015 it was the best!
There is almost nothing better than Jirard and a rainy day.
11:39 Ahhhh...OLD Jirard of two years ago,you had no idea about the dad of war, DID YOU?
Digging that new intro!
Well at least you understand that your fans miss the spoiler section and yes Hellboy 1 is underrated.
I'm not sure why your even surprised that Ghost Of Sparta looked so damn good on the PSP. If Nintendo has taught us anything is that it's not the hardware that matters it's what you do with it. Not what you can or can't do, not what you try to do, what you actually do. There is no hardware limitations and there is no trying the best you can, there is no room for such excuses, there's only do or do not. Any developer or publisher that thinks otherwise has no business making video games...
Who lives in Framingham? The winner probably lives in a boxcar, a box, or a factory.
the PSP (and Vita) is awesome for short bursts of gaming. You can always turn it off and start again right at the same place you stopped. And the Battery is not drained as much as the 3/DS in Standby. You can stop during a Fight in a RPG or even druing a Jump in a Platformer. I used to play a lot of PSP druing my school time. Becuase i had to drive over a hour by Bus and Train. And i could stop at anytime when i arrived. :)
Really? Barely anyone watches the spoiler section?!
For all the reasons for Jirard removing that feature, I wasn't expecting that.
A shame too, because it's a section I always look forward to.
6:45
All of... THE... sudden....
*eye twitches furiously*
