I would appreciate it if you not mock me. I'm not here to mock or insult anybody, just give my opinion. And I'm fully willing to admit when I'm wrong.

This is just AP vs DC arguement. And it'd be dumb to assume end of GoW3 Zeus wasn't going all out against Kratos but GoW3 beginning Zeus went all out against him.
That introductory scene in 3 serves to showcase the sheer power Zeus holds. Nothing more. No media requires it's characters to constantly output 200% of their efforts visually to be actually powerful.
This isn't Goku charging a Genkidama.

The old Greek games have a fixed camera where the right stick is dodging.

Yea, I guess I just got spoiled by upgraded technology. I'm sure if I'd played it when it came out, I wouldn't be complaining about it.

Tbh it isn't upgraded technology.
It's just a type of camera.
Same way Third person isn't some upgrade over first person.

It just feels like you and KLOL506 are treating me like crap. I'm only trying to express my opinion based on what I saw and observe the scaling. I don't have full knowledge of the previous GoW games and never played GoW 1&2, and I haven't read all the novels like you guys have, so if I'm missing some stuff, then I'll admit when I'm wrong. But I'm not out to get either of you guys. If anything, I think you and KLOL506 are pretty cool and devoted users.

Yea, I imagine it'd be a bit of an adjustment for someone who grew up playing with a certain camera style. It's how I felt when playing some of the new Pokemon games.

Also, for Poseidon, should I just remove the entire section in his AP about his Hippocampi since Thor ~= Serious Kratos = Pre-Hades Kratos = Gow2 Zeus >> Poseidon?

You should get used to shit talking honestly.
No one here is intending to be mean at all. It's just how homies talk. Once you built a certain kind of informal rapport, it's hard to go back to formal polite speak.

It's just that we've been seeing our fair share of some of the dumbest GoW takes imaginable to mankind solely because people can't even be bothered to watch the clips of the game. Like, we're not even asking you to play the game at all. There's playthroughs for this with timestamps, and even I haven't read the novels fully but I do truly understand what each of them are trying to convey and how they're trying to convey it. Hell, you don't even need to watch a full playthrough at all to get the gist.
However, what pisses me off the most is when people post their opinions in such a way that they word it like they're the ones in the right and we're the ones in the wrong, pretending that they know all about the verse without having actually seen or played the material themselves. They never word it like a proper curious question, but like an absolute "know-it-all" kind of ego contest made solely to anger those who would answer these questions to solve their queries, and they type in so much irrelevant and dumb shit that it completely goes beyond what exists and was intended to be portrayed in the original source material. My apologies if you felt this way, but this was something I needed to get off my chest for a while.

I get that. I just wanna clear up I'm not one of those guys who wants to present himself like a know-it-all. Like, I'll admit, Zeus is literally the top-tier in GoW based on all the evidence shown, and it looks like nobody's managed to come close to him since GoW III. But I'd appreciate it if you did not tell me, "this is the dumbest, most asinine take I've ever heard". Even for this site, I feel like that goes a bit far.
I also understand this, and I do occasionally get a bit harsh with some dumb takes, but I try my best not to insult the person directly.
- 3,704
- 2,333
Like it's different when you mock people you've known for a while, cuz then you at least know "this guy's just messing around, it's part of our banter,", but as I've only recently been part of the GoW section of this site, I don't really know most of the users, and a lot of the time it feels like genuine scorn.

He should see the OP/FT discussions and the stuff I've seen and experienced being thrown as insults.
But usually it's all in good fun, Cisco.

Are we really gonna revamp the scaling and discard the author statement like this? Is there really enough evidence to say the statement has no bearing?
- 3,704
- 2,333
Yea, I've seen the One Piece commentary, and it can get rough. Though sometimes it really does feel the users in those threads hate each other, especially the One Piece threads.

The hippocampi thing is the minimum for Thor's power, since they said he can "at the very least" match them.

This. The WoG is just for support. On its own it wouldn't mean nothing, it's why it's tertiary canon.

So has anybody here started the Ragnarok New Game Plus yet?
- 18,625

What, that Thor scales to Poseidon?
It's that one statement against;
- Thor legitimately having higher feats than anything Poseidon has ever done.
- Thor fighting on par with Ragnarok Kratos, who is at least on par with pre-Summit Zeus.
- It being tertiary canon versus both gameplay and novel feats.
- 18,625

Pariah has. I've yet to do so.

Might try starting it tomorrow. Due to the easter holidays I got tomorrow and monday off work so that leaves me with a 4 day weekend.
Apparently many of the bosses have new attacks and/or new attack patterns in NG+ so that'd be interesting to see.

Sure. I think Planck intends to rectify that in the actual scaling blog so whatever.

Freya reliably craps on Poseidon. Thor too, what with his obscene AP and resistance to soul shit.
Ill eventually just fix it with a blog. But Poseidon and Hades should just upscale from Ares.
- 18,628
- 12,901
Thanks.
Would you also be willing to mention how Heimdall should have the same bifrost powers as Odin and Freya?
And could any Norse person besides Kratos beat Ares or Hades?

Ares with that mind hax be eating tbh

Oh yeah, forgot she resists soul stuff on Poseidon's level cuz of her tanking the Light of Alfheim.

But this one of the biggest reasons why GoW 2018 got GOTY. Because they took a big risk and made a fundamental change. The biggest reason Ragnarok didn't get GOTY was that didn't take risks.

It also had 1 month to compete with effing Elden Ring. Let's not short that game its credit.
Tbh, I'm kinda glad the Norse saga kept a similar vibe. Made it feel more like a coherent and unified saga. Course I can perfectly understand why people would think otherwise.
I do hope they completely shake things up in any future installment.
