I was showing my son, who finally beat GOW 2018 about how epically huge those bosses were in the older games. I showed him the right with Kronos where you literally fight on his finger and burst pimples to get to enemies.
The brakes in Kratos' voice lines tell a bigger story than is displayed for us, he is a hurt man trying to repair himself. It's a fully grown and developed character
For a while, he was just nothing but pure, unmatched rage. For good reason. Then he mellowed out and eventually began to open up. He became wiser, happier even. He found peace within himself.
@@serge263 indeed and I feel happy for him. The only thing that would get him back to his Greek, savage ways is when someone he dearly cares for is killed. But still, his character development is fantastic and one of my most favorites.
@@justaayan2 bruh how is that a complaint? If you got a good story from a story game,shouldn't you be happy? And there is also a pretty good combat system, with good enemies, so I don't know why they are complaining. GoW 2018 was also a similar story-action game to Ragnarök, so idk what they expected.
@@justaayan2 Only ones making that complaint are dumbass Fromsoft fans, because they think any game with a coherent story is a movie game, and every game needs to follow souls storytelling when it doesn’t work with every game. Having 3 hours cutscene in a 25 hours story and a 50 hours game isn’t “half of the game”.
I never, in a million years, would've though God of War would bring out these kind of emotions. Damnit, when Atreus was leaving hit hard. I'm not crying, you're crying. A+ writing.
Extra on Christopher judge in my opinion, the pressure of being the new voice of a famous character and he absolutely nailed it, in my opinion better than the original
These games are a great example of what good story telling can do when executed perfectly and to take your time in making something great rather than just a money grab.
"It is the nature of the thing that matters, not it's form". The story, the acting. This game is like am epic ass audiobook. Even when they are hunting, the line were Kratos says "we are wounded... And THIS, this is a distraction. That subtle pause, point, and look gives even more weight to the scene. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The line “wars are won by those willing to sacrifice everything, if that is the price of vengeance…so be it” when the greek chorus starts playing from the older gods of war I got chills. Kratos was ready to destroy everything again l
this game is incredible if you grew up playing god of war you know how much fun it was to destroy everything around you, but idk might be me, as i’ve gotten older i’ve become more stoic and overall reasonable and i feel this change with kratos as this character has grown so have I, as this character has matured so have I, not many if any games can pull something as embracing and insightful as this game is. there’s so many quotes from this game that put me on the right path.100/10❤️
@@zedthree8272 GoW3 is better at unleashing your primal instinct when playing. But character development wise, GoWR is the best in the franchise, at least for me.
"atreus remains" will always make me fucking sob. That moment shows the culmination of two entire games of character development, kratos wouldn't even touch him at the start of gow4. Everything leading up to that, everything that moment meant, god it's perfect
I only watched the playtrough of the last two games, but I hope it means Kratos is gonna beat the crap out of Odin, right? Because I'm too scared to search if it means woohing
I love Kratos 180° during the start of ragnarok. He's not there for war, he doesn't want his son in a war. So he decides to not fight but get people to safety. Something Faye or Týr would do if they were there, but Kratos steps up in their place
6:55 is the perfect ending if they don't continue Kratos' side of God of War. Kratos is no longer a ruthless god, a battle hungry Spartan warrior fueled by rage, the Ghost of Sparta. He's found peace and learnt what it means to be Human and a father. As a father he doesn't want Atreus to go, but he knows he has to. Otherwise Atreus will live with regret, as a born god, that will be a burden carried through many lifetimes.
The scene where Thor asks Kratos what he's done, and how he says it with his whole body...he knew his pain just as well as he knows his own...but it cost him his loved ones at his own hands, he won't watch another father with the same shadow keep walking the same road he did...shame what happened to him, two seconds too late.
Coolest thing about the "Death can have me when it earns me" line, for me, is it's more evidence of Kratos' progression as a man. Everyone talks about it because it's a hard line. It's striking. It's corny as hell too, but from Kratos, you know it's not empty talk. He means it. He c a n mean it. What I love about it is this: In earlier God of War games, Kratos actively sought death. It's one of the reasons he doesn't fear it and also one of the reasons his vengeance was wildly successful (vengeance is just shame boiled over. He killed his first family and no longer felt he deserved to live, but felt the Gods deserved to DIE even moreso). He's experienced death many times at this point and probably WOULDN'T give it a second thought.... If not for the fact that he's a parent now. He has an actual investment in the future beyond revenge and knows that he'll need to be alive if he wants to protect his seed, watch it grow, and keep it from making the same senseless (and greedy) mistakes that he made. Ya'll heard that line and saw Kratos "The Killer". I hear it and see a Kratos that has finally found something worth staying alive for.
I love that Kratos got through to Thor in the end. There was still hope for him, even if Odin snuffed that out too, even if it didn’t matter in the end. In that final moment, he chose to be better.
i still have my beef with the game story (so much could have been done better) but the relationship between kratos and the gang is so good, one of the best aspect of the game
Whoever did Kratos's tattoo needs a shout out fr. Also, he needs that shit recolored cus... well his family lmao. Too soon? Also 1000/10. All of the games I grew up with have become crap except this one, and boy they did it right. Could not have asked more, expect for 10 more games. I mean, just look at the comments of any Kratos quote video and you will see many feel the same. Also, absolute Vegeta/Trunks energy.
It is explained in game that all the magic kratos was able to use died when kratos destroyed greece. It's likely either either the sword just doesn't work anymore or Athena may be it's wielder now.
Never thought I'd cry over the character arc of a vengeful, murderous God, who becomes a peaceful (yet still occasionally bashes in a few skulls) father who just wants the best for his boy.
Odin trying to get Kratos to stay out of his way and Kratos just threatens to give the Norse realms 'The Greece Treatment' if he doesn't get his son back lmao.
"Death can have me when it earns me" is a pretty fuckin' metal line
If you listen closely Kratos was gonna say when 'he' earns me, referring to thanatoa
@@haiderkarkamaz6466 which is kinda impossible since he killed Thanatos.
It's fitting that kratos said it. The man crawled out of hell multiple times.
That shit struck a nerve within my spirit. That phrase alone will be in the back of my mind for the rest of my life.
Just about to comment same thing, i teared up that was so badass
"Loki will go....Atreus remains" I didn't think this game would make me cry but WOW
Right? Fucking God of War, of all the game series, was hitting hard with that scene.
I lost it there, full blown grown man ugly sobs.
Atreus is a better name anyway
GOD DAMN, this game almost made me cry 3 times, and as a long-time Gow fan, dis hit like a truck
No man, I ain't crying... *;__;*
“Return my son or you may meet the god I once was”
“Death can have me when it earns me”
Lines colder than Fimbulwinter
Midgards fimbulwinter
"Return my son, or you may meet the God I once was."
There has never been a bigger threat in video game history.
I was showing my son, who finally beat GOW 2018 about how epically huge those bosses were in the older games. I showed him the right with Kronos where you literally fight on his finger and burst pimples to get to enemies.
All of the pantheon was screaming at Odin "DON'T PISS HIM OFF!!!"

@@justaayan2 I'm pretty sure there is an option to skip cutscenes if you wish that you can turn on. (or atleast there used to be)
The Kratos voice actor can say anything and then it would be epic.
Even his grunts are epic
Indeed
Ah, yes, Kraros.
Look up the dad jokes on UA-cam. Either it'll makes that statement stronger, or break it.
"Hotdogs are technically sandwitches"
- Kratos
I never, in a million years, would've though God of War would bring out these kind of emotions. Damnit, when Atreus was leaving hit hard. I'm not crying, you're crying. A+ writing.
"Loki will go. Atreus remains."
The crack in his voice kills me.
Bravo to the writers & ofc Christopher Judge for such excellent lines worthy of Kratos.
Extra on Christopher judge in my opinion, the pressure of being the new voice of a famous character and he absolutely nailed it, in my opinion better than the original
@@ziggys9439 Big disagree with that one, you gotta remember how epic Carson’s Kratos was

Looking at Disney on that one.
1:25 That shit went hard out of fucking nowhere.

@@bobman8664 lmfaooo
"I taught him how I wished I'd wooed."

🤣🤣🤣

its also kratos repeating to brok what he already said, if i remember correctly
Hearing young Kratos' voice in the old is chilling.
You think you know anger? Rage? No, little brother.
If someone were to tell me in the late 2000's that Kratos would have one of the best character developments in decades I would of laughed.
Krato's story with Atreus is a story a grown man will ball his eyes out for. A manly yarn indeed

This is amazing to hear and I hope you continue to do great things in your life 👍
“Does it frighten you?”
“Yeah.”
“That is why you must do it.”
I love Kratos. Every time he speaks to Odin is gold. He has "pathetic" written all over his face.
"Did you teach him to ... woo ?" i never laughed so hard in my life 😂🤣
The writers and the actors all did such a fantastic job with both of these games, it's incredible
i want to play this game someday, the scenes the dialogues the characters they're all perfectly made.
Do it, it's an amazing experience!
Yea, in my opinion it’s the 2nd best game in the series (nothing can top 3)
@@zedthree8272 GoW3 is better at unleashing your primal instinct when playing.

blud spoiled his experience
Best of Kratos' lines in GoW Ragnarök: *full game plays* yes
"Or you may meet the god I once was!" We all felt that threat.
I'm baffled at how Kratos developed into a model father.
He even got Thor to put his weapon down using his Wisdom and not his Rage
"atreus remains" will always make me fucking sob. That moment shows the culmination of two entire games of character development, kratos wouldn't even touch him at the start of gow4. Everything leading up to that, everything that moment meant, god it's perfect

Awwww

8:50 i didn't expect those words came out from kratos
My favorite quote is "expect dissapointment so you wouldn't be dissapointed" and it's just so useful.

MY game of the year
The scene where Thor asks Kratos what he's done, and how he says it with his whole body...he knew his pain just as well as he knows his own...but it cost him his loved ones at his own hands, he won't watch another father with the same shadow keep walking the same road he did...shame what happened to him, two seconds too late.
The fact that he stutters saying “Atreus…Atreus remains”
Means that his holding himself up not to cry
"No"
-Kratos
Too inspirational
Coolest thing about the "Death can have me when it earns me" line, for me, is it's more evidence of Kratos' progression as a man.

Ya'll heard that line and saw Kratos "The Killer". I hear it and see a Kratos that has finally found something worth staying alive for.
This is so engrossing and emotional it felt way less than nine minutes.
The 2018 game made me cry, but the "Loki will go...Atreus remains" line got me sobbing like a fucking baby
That awwwwww from Mimir was so relatable
I really like Loki (atreus) just didnt want to let go untill kratos ended the hug
I'm gonna be honest, I haven't cried in a LONG time. This game broke that streak.
“It is the nature of a thing that matters..”
“Not its form..”
GOD DAMN
It is the nature of a thing that matters, not it’s form. 🥺

Man I have just one question
Where is the Blade of Olympus?
It is explained in game that all the magic kratos was able to use died when kratos destroyed greece. It's likely either either the sword just doesn't work anymore or Athena may be it's wielder now.
In the GOW3 the blade was left on Olympus after Kratos left
