God of War: Ragnarok Discussion Thread

Yeah. The same convo had Cory confiriming the GoW pantheons being parallel dimensions with their own cosmologies and creation stories. Giving space after commas is correct grammar though?

Space before and after commas is not how Cory types tho. In his legitimate tweets to our beloved Huzy, where he says that each pantheon is distinctively separate and is considered "separate universes" inhabiting a greater universe which is yet to be explored, he doesn't have that many punctuation errors except for that "universe's" part.

It's a really wankable scan, though. "Mortal conceptions of Space and Time" can easily be wanked to 1-A via infinite-D vector space.

That's a bit reaching there, innit?

I must be confusing shit then, because someone sent me a supposed DM of Cory where the commas were spaced out before and after.

Nah, he really only uses periods, no comma at all. If I recall, the supposed quote was saying something like "These deities exist on a higher realm, mortal concepts like time and space don't affect them." etc. I forgot the entire quote.

Can you show me the image? It's the first time I'm hearing of such a DM.

Untrue. He does use space after commas:-

Of course (in Bane's voice). It's wank. It can be wanked to that level though because "mortal conceptions of Space and Time" can mean that it's beyond all the understanding of Space-Time which mortals have, including stuff like Mahlo Cardinals and Infinite-D Vector Function.

Found it. This is what I believe is what he's supposedly is talking about.

This kind of seems familiar, as if I had seen it before.

The higher plane of existence reference seems sus solely because of Athena being the only one rising to that distinction but the Gods not operating on the same laws of time and place as the Mortals is indeed true, as stated by the GOW1 Novel's final chapter where Kratos sees through all of war across all of eternity.
 
KLOL506 said:
Yeah uh, IDK what to make of these DMs. When were they taken? And if so, what twitter handler was Cory running on back then?
Click to expand...
It was running under realcorybarlog, as seen in the top of each post. Though, idk instagram so I may just be confusing name with handle.

I believe higher plane of existence of the Gods may be referring to above the mortals. While Athena exists on a higher plane of existence above the Gods? Unsure.
 
I also find it weird that he didn't really react to that retconning thing as well.

Also, I think there's too many leading questions for it to even be accepted via site rules.

Ye, especially with the "gods transcending time" part, given that not only is it a leading question, but some parts straight up contradict with the actual game and its side-content and other literature. Like the "1000's of years in the past" part about Thor and the Serpent, when in reality, Lore and Legends confirms that Mjolnir is 200 years old.

Because there was indeed a retcon. By taking all the Titans from the Great War (just before they were about to be banished to Tartarus by Zeus using the BoO) to the present time, Kratos prevented the Titans from losing the Great War. Atlas and Cronos were still banished, though. That's because they were trapped in Tartarus before Zeus forged the BoO.

There's no alternate timeline shenanigans like in the MCU as well. Otherwise, there would've 2 versions of the Titans. One banished to the Underworld (the original timeline), and one fighting alongside Kratos during the second Great War (the alternate timeline) in GoW 3.
 
Yeah, but he doesn't even remotely elaborate on it or ask for any elaboration, despite the subject of the sentence being relatively vague.

It may be obvious to you, but it's not necessarily an automatic assumption, especially given the amount of lore changes in GoW.

That is indeed particularly odd that no elaboration was requested on this.

It'd be even more obvious what the guy was referring to Cory than me. He's one the main lore guys for GoW, afterall.

Maybe Cory, just like most other game lore devs, wants us to have our own interpretation on this. He doesn't want to explicitly confirm anything. The guy who asked that question believed there was a retcon, so he said "correct" as he didn't want to give a "canon" explanation. Perhaps because there isn't any.
 
Like I said, it'd probably be less obvious because of that. GoW II retcons a ton of lore established (if only vaguely) by GoW I and its EU, especially concerning stuff like the Titans and the creation of the universe.

And then there's Ascension retconning Island of Rhodes.

It's weird to assume that the main lore guy of GoW won't be aware of what "retcon" happened at GoW 2's end.

I'm literally saying the opposite, my guy. I'm saying he'd probably be knowledgeable to ask about which one in particular.

Anyway, like I said, there's too many leading questions for our purposes.
