That wasn't gameplay or an in-game cinematic though. Just an intro. cutscene.Primordials bruh. Primordials.

There's a fuckton of Monsters to kill in Japanese Mythology. Would be sick.

An intro that has been cemented into lore for as long as anyone can remember. Most of the best feats in GOW aren't pure gameplay either, but scripted QTEs.

Yh, if it was actually like Asura's Wrath, we wouldn't have had to explain the lore, game mechanics, P.I.S., cinematic timing, and cosmology to everyone.
- 32,835

Trust me buddy, even with Asura's Wrath people had a hard time getting 3-A to fruition, but it worked for a while until the formula to calculate Chakravartin changed overall.
No matter how blatant some feats can get even on-screen, people will still find bullshit cop-out ways to call it bunk.

That's sort of the point. Even in actual Norse mythology, the Aesir, Vanir and Jotnar were closer to extremely powerful superhumans with mystical powers than actual immortal beings that represent aspects of existence. I suspect that's why the Greek Pantheon had such a larger than life presence and massive consequences for the world with their deaths in comparison.
There's no problem in wanting more of a spectacle in the battles though, but I think they do fairly alright on that end. Though, it just makes me more excited for visits to more majestic pantheons and what we'll see there.

Wait the YouTuber?
wait link?
this
The Greeks are all powerful immortals whose passions and rivalries defined sagas, the Norse are gods who are doomed to die and must live with that
there’s a huge difference there and it’s something I hope we see again when we go to Egypt (since Egypt gets wild)
shoutout to Artemis and Apollo, major Olympians referenced repeatedly who never appear. I almost want an anthology story showing some of the other characters for this
like imagine seeing Faye’s journey
I actually think there’s some overlap between mythologies, like I want to say the Egyptians have a lot of ties to Greek myth and there’s room for that in the games (Werewolves are an Irish thing after all)

Nah fam, someone else. CrisisCrysis.
Aye. We need a bit of that majestic expression back.
Artemis appears once and then ***** off.
Aye, could be a thing.

2-C, so upgrade from where they stand at right now. Yggdrasil would possibly get a downgrade to 2-C unless we get more deets on the Green Rift thing and the Mask.
Anything below that is out of the question.

What’s the reference in particular?
I’d be bf own with seeing a new Vibe, something larger then the Norse but not necessarily the same as the Greek. Have the games reinvent themselves based off mythology
like
hack and slash = Greek
RPG = Norse
Maybe have something closer to Asura’s Bayonetta for Egypt and something closer to horror/Dark Souls for the Celtic Pantheon
Tbh that barely counts smh
Lowkey sad her and Apollo aren’t side bosses in Ragnarok
Could help explain how the pantheons are connected to (how the **** does it work?)
the verse will be downloaded
yeah I agree, I think we have pretty consistent 2-C reasoning based off everything like
Cronos making time (though **** this feat)
Morpheus merging realms
Thor affecting Yggdrasil
Surtur burning Asgard and shaking the realms
Odin making realms
Odin sealing realms (unless it’s just the Bifrost)
The Realm Tears
The Nidhogg stuff (like his kids and himself using a realm tear)
Heimdall’s horn transcending time

Pandora, Hephaestus, the box, The Great Evils.
Egypt could be a return to massive spectacle battles like Greece, Japan could be all about pure speed, and Celtic Pantheon could be about horror, aye.
Mayans could be about the jungles and aquatic life.
I mean, there's no point seeing them as bosses in Norse. But ye, no physical appearance of one of the most important gods is genuinely saddening.
Only way I see it is if the Egyptian/Greek Pantheons were at war once and something caused them to enter a truce until the Greeks died so...
the verse will be downloaded
You forgot Atlas holding up the Greek Pantheon and Hercules temporarily doing it for him (And calling the entire thing completely lame compared to the praise Kratos got)
Not just the realm, the branch too. And if Kratos didn't save the day, Ratatoskr states that the entire tree would be burned to a crisp.
Yeah, this is legit, Odin also states that Ymir wasn't just some nobody he could just shank and end, Ymir was a force of nature according to his own words, to be reckoned with.
Sealing the realms could just be Sealing I'd reckon
You forgot Garmr chewing through the fabric of the realms.
Not sure what the green rift does.

i don't think sony will allow PC port for greek games.
- 32,835
- 38,105
Big doubt. Sony is bleeding in over the Microsoft-ActiBlizz purchase and is going all out with HZD on PC. Bloodborne on PC is just one exec order away from breaking the internet, and GOW would just further boost sales. They're already selling the consoles at a loss and making big bucks on their exclusives, but COD was their biggest cash cow. With that gone, Sony has no other option but to expand into other markets.

Ah
True, I do hope they give it a different flavour to Greece. But yeah Celts having a more Dark Souls/Senua theme would be really cool
I also Lowkey hope Japan is god of War with some Sekiro or Dynasty Warriors
Tbh that’s more a theme then gameplay style
Eh would be fun and tie up a loose end
Really just endgame content
It’s possible, Thoth knows who he is In the novel and we have Persian deities in the novels being name dropped
Yeah but that’s not Tier 2
Tbh doesn’t the game specifically mention only Asgard would fall?
Aye, Odin seemed to have had trouble with him
Which reminds me, do we get insight on Vili and Ve? Like they just vanish in Norse Mytholot
True, decent range tho
Eh Nidhogg has it too
Green shit
- 32,835
- 38,105
How so? Atlas is holding up multiple universe-sized realms on top of him with their own space time, as well as the entire Pantheon itself, that's blatant Tier 2 and Immeasurable LS no matter how you slice it, you're pushing up against 4-D weights and withstanding all that weight compressing your body without getting crushed. Once you get to High 3-A and above the whole AP =/= LS argument falls apart.
Plus he damaged the World Pillar by adding Helios's power on top, and even after letting Helios go, he was completely unharmed by the Death Explosion of Persephone that blew up the World Pillar which held up the Pantheon before Atlas did.
If all went according to Kratos's plan, yes. If it didn't, goodbye Yggdrasil.
Doesn't matter anymore tho, Surtr whacked out the entire branch that held Asgard alongside the realm.
Odin's father is nowhere to be found either, or Audumbla.
More range feats are always good.
Didn't you already mention Nidhogg tho?
EDIT: Yeah you did. Nidhogg's a she BTW.
Guess we'll see.

May I know more about this? So was Surtr going to destroy the entire Yggdrasil, but Kratos and Atreus managed to convince him to only destroy Asgard?
- 3,688

Well, i think i would disagree with that. I mean the realm is only sit in the branch of yggdrasil, and the branch it self have infinity in size, thats clearly mean 2A structure, because being infinitely bigger than low 2C structure (the realm)
- 18,560
- 18,615
You don't get 2-A that way on this site, at all. At most, it'd just be "At least 2-C" via being far above the Nine Realms.

Why exactly the Yggdrasil its going to be downgraded to 2-A?
- 3,096
- 1,168
2-C actually. Because you know, some info does not match up in the game with card game implicity and explicity

btw regarding this problem, for me i will wait for supplementary material.
