I'm honestly OK with the Norse saga having its own identity.I personally tought it started alright but it really dragged longer than it needed. Plus Angrboda's grandma is one of the goofiest boss battles i've ever seen. A lot of things in the Norse saga really felt nothing like God of War.
Wait, seriously? That shouldn't be there. Neither were terribly exhausted when they finally got up to Odin, hell, Kratos can rejuvenate his stamina with magic, since he can hold back his stamina levels too.Why Odin's profiles says Kratos, Atreus and Freya were weakened during their fight? Was it stated somewhere or it's just pure conjecture?
Yeah, it confused me too because they didn't look exhausted and Kratos can regenerate stamina, and has been through far worse.Wait, seriously? That shouldn't be there.

I am fine with a franchise changing some things up. But i am not a fan when it goes too far. A franchise should have a core identity.I'm honestly OK with the Norse saga having its own identity.
But yeah, Gryla was goofy. But she had a fire theme tho.
Mimir makes no distinction about the souls. In a situation where a Fae is talking to an Olympian and Jotunn, that'd have been noted if it existed.Ok, I've thought of a couple of things I wanted to discuss. First, should we really apply the same logic for the souls in the Norse realm to the Greek realm and the Greek Gods? The afterlife for both realms are different, and Freya outright stated that the magic in realms varied.
His divine powers as the god of war. Right now he only has his physical godhood and immortality.Secondly, how would the "magic only works in your homeland" apply? What kind of powers did Kratos have in the Greek realm without his weaponry that he doesn't possess now in the Norse realm?
They were fully his but he used the Claws to control them. They were gone after he sacrificed himself to release Hope.Third, could somebody explain the power-up Kratos got from absorbing the soul of Hades and the other million souls? Were those power-ups permanent? Did they only stay with him as long as he kept the Claws of Hades and was lost after Zeus destroyed nearly all of Kratos' equipment?
And what were those powers exactly?His divine powers as the god of war. Right now he only has his physical godhood and immortality.
What was gone?They were fully his but he used the Claws to control them. They were gone after he sacrificed himself to release Hope.
Everything Ares had and then some that he gained in GoW1.And what were those powers exactly?
Souls of Hades and all other power ups, Titan Power-Ups and elemental magic Kratos had obtained over his entire journey.What was gone?
So doesn't that mean that his Norse saga self is weaker than his Peak GoW3 Pre-Hope self?Everything Ares had and then some that he gained in GoW1.
But post GoW2, Titan Power-Ups and Hades' Soul. And then Hermes' Boots and Herc's Nemean Cestuses if separate equipment count that is.
Souls of Hades and all other power ups, Titan Power-Ups and elemental magic Kratos had obtained over his entire journey.
Only thing he retained is his physical strength, speed and durability plus Resistances not involving Hope, as the official blogs and interviews state. But haxwise he's definitely weaker now, and a lot of his innate hax and AD/RE aren't as potent as they were before in GoW3.So doesn't that mean that his Norse saga self is weaker than his Peak GoW3 Pre-Hope self?
But weren't the souls he absorbed from Hades specifically what increased his physical abilities? If they didn't increase his physical abilities, then what did they do for him? Increase the power of the other magic items?Only thing he retained is his physical strength, speed and durability, as the official blogs and interviews state. But haxwise he's definitely weaker now, and a lot of his innate hax aren't as potent as they were before in GoW3.
Both.But weren't the souls he absorbed from Hades specifically what increased his physical abilities? If they didn't increase his physical abilities, then what did they do for him? Increase the power of the other magic items?
Can you link the blog?Only thing he retained is his physical strength, speed and durability plus Resistances not involving Hope, as the official blogs and interviews state. But haxwise he's definitely weaker now, and a lot of his innate hax and AD/RE aren't as potent as they were before in GoW3.
But wouldn't that still make him weaker? From what I'm hearing, sounds like a majority of the powerups came from deities that originated from his homeland, like the Rage of the Titans, Rage of Gods, Claws of Hades and such. The only reason why Kratos won against Zeus after having all his equipment destroyed is from the Power of Hope. But after he released the Power of Hope, wouldn't he have become significantly weaker once going to the Norse realm without all those amps to call upon? Like, wouldn't it make him equivalent to his God of War 2 self then?Both.
That being said, how Kratos retained that level of physical prowess even without the souls to help him anymore is an enigma to most. Maybe just like his father, he too is built different.
No? It wouldn't? Hell, the journal entry regarding Thor, the official blogs and the interviews are literally the only things even keeping Norse scaling to Greek Pantheon a thing, and even then the Greeks are deemed to still be superior in terms of sheer hax.But wouldn't that still make him weaker?

That too. That statement isn't a cap for Thor's strength tho, it's just supporting stuff.There's also the statement that Thor could take on a Hippocampus (the ones Kratos fought at GoW 3), so both Kratos are relatively in the same ballpark of physical strength.
Would of been GOW 1,2, and 3 all over againGood thing this didn't happen, it's too cliche IMHO if you ask me.
They should have put Atreus as playable anytime at end of the game, such a waste.I'd love more playable characters next time around.
Freya would be cool to play as
Only cause the developers knew that in order for kratos story to work they would need to change the Greek myth a lot.tbh, gow is not really faithful
i mean, it didn't needed to change much, greek gods were always kind of dicksOnly cause the developers knew that in order for kratos story to work they would need to change the Greek myth a lot.
like gaia isn’t even a god here she’s just a titan like the other titans
i mean, it didn't needed to change much, greek gods were always kind of dicksseriously have you ever saw the types of punishment zeus did in original greek myth?
Obviously. That's the whole point in the end. It's SMS's twist on the Greek Myth.tbh, gow is not really faithful
There are streets in Crete named after Herakles in Ghost of Sparta.Yeah but Heracles or herakles (second one sounds a bit cooler) is more faithful to the Greek myth.
