I Beat The Game But At What Cost ✧ God of War 2005 First Playthrough Finale
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 окт 2024
- Hi all! Thanks for joining me on our journey through the OG God of War games. These are the oldest games I've played to this day and by far the most difficult games I've played thus far in terms of game mechanics. My brain isn't trained to work this way since I have no frame of reference for how these games work! I never owned a system older than a PlayStation 3, so this is all very unfamiliar to me. It's like teaching your grandparent to use a cell phone, or telling a teenager to write a sentence in cursive. Probably gonna look a lil silly.
Let's call it the "pre-Ragnarök training boot camp."
I'm currently deployed so I thought now would be a good time to kill some time and try 'em out! I'm just on my laptop on an emulator so I'm not going for glamour points here, just a gal hanging out and raging at some video games. Also I'm working full-time every day as we make our way through these games, so pls forgive me if I miss some details or story bits. I'm not disinterested, I'm probably just tired and doing my best. :)
Thanks for watching!

"so then he yeets himself off a cliff and shes like "sike, not today" also you want a job?" is the best summary of god of war 2005 ive heard ever
Just by looking the Thumbnail of the Video I can see the pain & suffering you had in that Hades Climbing parts
(GoW 2 & 3 gonna be fabulous)

"Did you just work out before coming to work?"
"Nah, was playing video games."
"Why are you so sweaty??"
"I was watching cops!"
Take heart, child. Much better gamers were literally brought to tears by that spinning blade tower.
i nearly was xD
I'm excited for God of War 2 and 3 ❤
I love your summarization at the end. We can definitely all relate... We all died 100 times before FINALLY beating Aries with our blood, sweat, and tears, only to be left drowning in a manic state of hysteria, caused by reflecting on the determination of our own process. 🤣
Fun fact: the parts in hades are so insanely difficult is because IIRC they ran out of money to pay play testers to make sure it could actually be beaten. So it was simply released as is.
I mean it obviously can be, but they didn’t do any work on it based on input about it being incredibly frustrating.
now imagine playing this as a low IQ 6th grader who didn't know he could upgrade and didn't get any of the health or MP boosts 💀
Bro, I gave up my God playthrough because I couldn’t beat this part. But it was a cakewalk on the setting before that.
It made it feel hopeless and grueling, especially climbing that pillar lol. Plus the textures and sounds are so nasty
Forever going to be the coldest line in gaming
"I was trying to make you a great warrior"
" you succeeded."
*sword through the neck and chest*
Congratulations Eralia in finishing 2005 God of War! This was a real treat! I cannot wait for you to experience the rest of the trilogy
All of theses old God of War games are tough to beat but the creativity and the story keeps you in it. Great playthrough!
Congrats on finishing, you've officially been forged in fire, made it to hell and back and taken down the very Gods themselves. No one can deny the stripes you've earned.
Silent rage is the best 😂. Kids used to do this while trying to be silent because of their parents and now you are doing it because of your neighbors 😅.
Watching you playing this game is a blast from the past for me. I played it origanlly back in 2005 during the summer while visiting my grandma's place. As a teenager on holiday I proceeded to play they entire weekend and knocked this game out in 2 days. I remember parts of this game fondly, like the whole temple for pandora's box & all the puzzles. But that Ares fight was a deeply repressed memory. Watching you fight him gave me all these flashbacks like I'm a vietnam vet or something. I can see you feel the same way about that fight. Fuck that fight and eat shit Ares.
Ares is still the hardest boss I've ever had to do. The game definitely makes you earn it!
The good news is that the difficulty drops from here in my experience. Parts 2 and 3 I found much easier. I hope you aren't too scarred and decide to play them.
Thank you sooooo much for sharing your playthrough!! I'm having a ton of fun!! Thank you thank you!
Love seeing how invested you are in the God Of War series of games. I remember how I amazed at the story telling, I REALLY got into it! God of War 2 and 3......Buckle up!!!
"Huge congrats on finishing God of War (2005)! What an epic journey! Kratos' tale of revenge and redemption is a classic for a reason. Your playthrough was a thrill ride from start to finish! Can't wait to see you play gow 2
I was chanting with you Eralia, “she’s a gamer!”’ If only could send or moral supprt backwards through time, though I suppose we all sent it into to the future, knowing the hell that would lay before newer games… congrats on defeating a most frustratingly tedious climbing levels in the history of gaming. I would also like to go back in time and have some colourful words with the devs on this one.
2:02:42 "The city had been saved, for about 10 seconds before the title wave caused by Ares' Power Ranger's style exploded-because-defeated display finished off what remained of Athens."
2:10:00 the best summary i have ever heared😂😂
Athena to Kratos "You are now my ELITE EMPLOYEE"
@@dominiqueodom3099 😂😂
Good work finishing the game! It’s this whole part plus some of the previous battles that I found so damn hard that I never played it again after I finished it.
Love that you’re playing through the backstory of Kratos before GOW 2018. It’ll give you such an appreciation for 2018 and then when you do play Ragnarok seeing it all come together 🙌🏽 cannot wait to see that and continue watching the journey along the way
Facts, Ragnarok has so many more references to Kratos’ past, feels much more rewarding to play
I hope you keep going on the series. The story that unfolds and grows is so worth it. Good Luck.
Hello, It has been a great journey so far. I love watching people like you get introduced into this franchise.
For future installments I recommend you to read more carefuly the weapons and magic upgrades. You unlocked a lot of cool perks like infinite magic while in rage of the gods that you didn't use.
Also if its hard to doge is easy to block (yeah that fire Ares throwed at you too)
Man,when i tell you that without these games i never wouldve developed my obsession for Greek Myths in my younger teen years.
I was living in Colorado with one of my brothers and my mom for half of 5th grade and i legitimately had nothing to do but watch movies.
When i got back to Alaska to stay with my dad and my oldest brother was excited to have his younger brothers back.
I remember he had invited the whole neighborhood of friends we had to our house and i remember entering my dads house and on the living room Tv was a ps2 game on pause and i just saw a case that said God of War. This was also maybe the first M rated game id ever seen and i swear my brother shaq saw me looking at the game and and just started playing it while i watched. I ended up watching him beat the game,and then i went down the rabbit hole of wanting to get God of war 2,and then God of War 3 was THE GAME i begged my mother to get me for my Ps3.
Puzzle part in the first GoW is pretty difficult. Congratulations for overcoming the odds. GoW 2 will feel relatively easy now that you're familiar with the game mechanics. Can't wait for you to complete the series ASAP. Much ❤
Game: Congratulations you have concoured God of war. You have unlocked God mode
Eralia: NO!!!
gow 2 and gow3 are amazing! i can't wait for you to play them!
gow 2 is the best god of war for many :D
I wouldn’t sleep on the PSP exclusive games either.
God of war 3 is the best, it's prime kratos
That wall climb...
The irony of you saying "patience is a virtue" and then taking none of your own advice XD
Ares was the game's final skill test: you need to learn what his attacks look like and whether to block or dodge them, you need to learn when and how much you can hit him without being too greedy, and you need sharp reflexes to do it all. Oh, and of course, QTE with furious button mashing. 😆 His attacks are mostly random so a little luck never hurt either... The second half is especially sadistic since he gets life back every time you screw up, but if you're screwing up in this fight, you're not going to win anyway.
2nd game is a bit better balanced, no more crazy blade pillars or "pray to Jesus" 3D jumps or having to fight 30 Cerberus puppies in a locked arena or any nonsense like that. The final boss is still a bit frustrating, but c'mon, a final boss SHOULD be hard. They did make the timing on the QTEs a little tighter, though... 😩 Also, it's bigger and better than GOW1 in basically every way.
Congrats Eralia on beating this game, can't wait until GOW2 and 3!
last boss of this game was always a pain. but glad you finished it, congrats :)
You should watch the cutscene compilations for God Of War: Chains Of Olympus and God Of War: Ghost Of Sparta as well, those two games also add even more layers to Kratos story in the Greek Saga.
Ares fight is the toughest boss fight in the trilogy .. it’s a nightmare, watching u struggle through it really brings up memories.. I really enjoyed ur play through tho ❤..
Wonderful summary at the end, but oooooh just you wait, cause there's more to this back story. Lol
Great job finishing the game, even if it was a struggle at times. Add my vote to you playing GOW 2 & 3, it's been a while since I played them but I don't remember them having any single section as frustrating as the blades of Hades. 😂
Just came here to show support and thank you for teaching me that open wine lasts only about 10 days ..."The more you Know..." :)
Stay encouraged and moving forward
at first we all try to grab alll Hell chests but after a few deaths we all say "fu** it! I just wanna leave this place!" 😂😂
You should definitely play Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus. It really delves into Kratos’ past and his family. Without those two games it makes it more clear why he hates the gods.
I loved watching this whole let's play, but don't feel obligated to play all of the GOW games if you're suffering 😂 more than happy to see other stuff ❤
"Have you heard of our saviour, the god of war? It's you btw and you don't get to choose" Athena 🤣
It take a minute but if you keep hitting the statues at the side of the throne , it gives an Easter egg to call. It’s pretty funny.
it was def a great refresher to watch these playthroughs. i vaguely remember 2 and 3 was somewhat more memories from all the chaos that happens. each game is its own challenge for sure though. hope to catch the other 2 soon and great job for toughing it out to the end 💪👍 we're gamers!
GoW:2018 references GoW2 & 3. References and meanings that go over people’s heads who haven’t played 2 & 3. Such as the true meaning of “The cycle ends here”. Your appreciation of the Norse games will increase ten-fold with the complete backstory, but that’s totally up to you.
Additional Easter eggs if you have never heard of them. If you take about 5 minutes a statue and put your best combos into it nonstop you will destroy them to earn phone numbers to call. They are from the creator of the game, very amusing. Congratulations on beating the first of the series. You look so happy to be done with it, lol
there are consequences to killing a god, boy
LETS GOOOOO !!!!! GOW 2 & 3 are going to be fabulous 😎
Very excited for you to experience 2 and 3 and see the shenanigans Kratos gets into there.
That was a fun trip down memory lane. Thanks for that.
Sorry your LOTR video is in copywrite limbo.
Hope this makes up for a little of that.
thank you so much for the support!! its alright, copyright is a small battle in the grand scheme of things. :) take care!
Brought back memories of maddening journeys through that game.
44:27 “it’s a Mario mushroom” LMAAOOO
Remember the Oracle's words. "There is juts no Hope, no Hope"
We learned the context and now we´re ready for revenge. So excited to see you get through God of War 2 and 3 since it is a wild journey! playing this games first will give you a perfect payoff when you get to Ragnarok
Congratulations on surviving hades eralia! I too struggled. I can’t wait for 2 and 3! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Congrats on completing the game! Hope you enjoyed and will try out God of War 2
First Ghost of sparta game right?
Now imagine playing on GOD MODE. I was able to do it many years ago and I can still remember how many deaths I have for the final boss
She made the game SO MUCH harder on herself by barely ever blocking. 99% of attacks in the game can be blocked, negating 100% of the damage.
I've platinumed all 3 of the original games 2 or 3 times over (once on PS3 and another time on PS4), and yeah, it's definitely hard, but blocking (and getting good at parries) makes the game a lot easier.
Plus - many of the enemies can be cheesed by grabbing them in the air over and over again
If you ever watch speedrunners play the game, they make it look ridiculously easy, but more importantly they reveal quick/efficient ways to kill enemies :)
@@PeterDB90 FACTS!!!
I’d say you played the hardest of the original trilogy. For me, GOW 2 is much more enjoyable due to there not being a crap ton of hard puzzles/obstacles and it just focuses on fun fights! Out of 1 & 2, I see myself replaying 2 the most but-
GOW 3 is imo the best. The graphics surprisingly hold up well, admittedly there’s a few difficult fights but the story was great. It’s one I recommend to play in order to understand the DLC in the second game in the 2018 timeline.
i miss seeing your uploads, you’re understandably very busy but i cant wait for you to come back and maybe hopefully play god of war ragnarok…🤞🤞😅
Congratz on beating the game. Take a break, get some good rest and be ready for the next game. 💪💀
the spiked towers,... the paradise of all gamers 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I always loved the raged from frustration this game gave me when I was a teenager, glad to see I was not the only one, it was like getting in sync with Kratos feelings 😁
Sorry you had a tough time. If I remember right Ares or this game I general was my first experiment with rage quitting and throwing the controller. You just have to realize some enemies require timing and method. It’s slow and grating but that’s how some enemies are meant to be defeated, by taking time and mostly blocking while trying not to get greedy when an opening shows up. I hop in general you still had a fun time!
hey eralia been watching your videos since you started on youtube pretty much. just wanted to say keep up the work. also if your looking for a good emotional story based game with decisions that impact your story with over 100 different endings play Detroit become human
congrats on beating the game. If you decide to play the inbetween games that would be freaking awesome (they are nowhere near as irritating lol), but whatever you decide im sure you'll have a blast & we'll be right there with you
Congrats on beating this game, its really not easy as it may look! Looking forward to GOW2 and 3!
Also hope you can do Chains of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta and maybe Ascension too! Theyre all great games and does a great job at expanding Kratos' character!
Congratulations eralia I’m so thankful that you came through and finished this game and got some of the back story and lore experienced cause it makes your 2018 and future ragnaraok play through hit so much harder. it’s super interesting how you’re experiencing the story I’d love to hear a synopsis of some scenes that hit hard in 2018 at the time vs how they hit for you now (not sure if you do this at the end) as always stay safe out there!
GOW 1 hades changes people irreversibly
As you have undoubtedly diacovered by now..... you can can access the upgrade menu during fights, and can upgrade whatever you are working on mid-battle. If you fail/die you'll have to start at your orevipus level as you did going into the fight, but if you win, it also acts as a checkpoint and your upgrade will stand. Good to k ow for future games.
1:15:42 You definetly killed the save spot 😂😂😂😂
Really enjoyed this playthrough!
"The city had been saved"-ish
That last nuclear explosion couldn’t have helped 😅
Yo you gotta play GOW 2 and 3. It gives you a lot more context for Kratos in GOW2018. Plus, they improved on everything good about God of War 1. I really hope you play through 2 and 3, before Ragnarok.
1:15:47 I'm sorry I literally laughed my ass off at this.
T I L T E D
It's been a really long time since I played 1&2 so really can't remember much of them mechanics wise, last time I played 3 was just before 2018 released. I feel like that one at least was a lot more polished. Have enjoyed watching you experience the origin, hopefully you will check the other games out as well
reviewing this after some years...f..k Im proud that I have completed this also, all parts, latest beat god of war 2018 standard and game + it was awesome, now playing Ragnarok on penultimate difficulty level.
Congrats! Are you a gamer? You are 1% more gamer now.
Congrats Eralia.
Eralia, if you didn't know, you could easily block Ares's fire attack without running and jumping. Also nice playthrough!!
Note: After you finish GOW 3, you should really really GOW Ascension and react to the bowl trailer of the same.
🥳🥳🥳 Congratulations on finishing GoW. 🥳🥳🥳
Oh I can still remember this "funniest" Part in Hades very well. Unfortunately, I'm a very impatient Person and that's why I almost went crazy back then when you get stuck on every little Pixel. 🤬Unfortunately, our Dog Luna also will never forget this Game because after countless Attempts I gave Vent to my Anger and started screaming a little. Unfortunately, I didn't notice that our Luna came into the Room and ran past me at the exact Moment I was about to scream and scream in her Ear. 😞She immediately ran back out to my Girlfriend and was visibly shocked. But the positive Thing is that since that Moment I have made the Decision, no matter what hurdles a Game puts in front of me, I will never lose my Concentration and Composure again but will play the Place where I am stuck until I am through, no matter the Cost. And to this Day I've managed to never get so upset that I feel the Need to scream again. 😁Of Course, I also apologized to my sweet Luna and my Girlfriend and I took her to a Top-Class Dog Park at the Weekend and she was allowed to do whatever she wanted. In any Case, Thank you for your Video and I'm really looking forward to your next Project. I wish you a nice Evening/Day and lovely Greetings from Austria 🥰🥰🥰
Don't worry. Everybody hates those fucking pillars with the blades.
Congratulations!! The 2nd fight with ares is always annoying. You either win in 2 seconds or die. I don't remember gow2 and 3 having a difficulty spike like the end of gow1, and while I think gow1 has the best level design in the series, the setpieces and bosses in the sequel are sooo much better!
I was a little sad you never found the most op combo with the blades (I think it only appears in gow1 and is square, square, hold square?). All I remember is it bypasses almost all jerk enemies that block and interrupt your combos.
Also, I don't know if it was mentioned, but nearly all small unarmored enemies (generally smaller than kratos like archers, harpies/birds, and cerberus puppies) can be grabbed with circle for either an instant kill or unique attack (for example, cerberus puppies get punted at enemies)
Congratulations on finishing God of War 2005! The platforming and the Ares boss fight can be really frustrating, but I hope you enjoyed the game regardless. These kinds of hack and slash adventure games were very popular back in the day and if you enjoy this genre then I'd also recommend checking out the Devil May Cry series. I think GoW and DMC were probably two of the most popular series in the genre, until Assassin's Creed came along and started a new trend.
Playing the underworld level with stick drift is actually hell
If it's possible, I'f recommend also playing GoW: Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus. Some very important lore there especially Ghost of Sparta
Chains of Olympus is a prequel, and Ghost of Sparta is after Gow1
I like how she forgets there is a block button😂
I don’t know how ppl can beat the game on hard difficulty without dying once.
Just before you reach Ares they make you fight every minion you’ve encountered in the game… of course lol I love this franchise though
Eralia, I'm looking forward to the next two games in the series, I think you'll really enjoy them. Also have a look at DAYS GONE for a playthrough at some point, I think you'll love it.
That final boss fight is pain itself
thanks for the playthrough🖤
the struggle is real😂😂
You should play Detroit Become Human next!!! it’s one of the best games ever made i swear
13:13 - It was actually the great philosopher Vaas Montenegro.
1:19:53 - If there's one major criticism of God of War's gameplay I won't refute (besides the general awfulness of Ascension's combat, and the pacing of QTEs/demands for intense button-mashing) it's the flat-out *STUPIDLY* arbitrary nature of some of attacks that necessitate experimentation with using grabs and blocks to find out the hard way if something can/can't be done. I was *SO* pissed off when I found out how many fire attacks, including *THIS* one could be blocked. WHO THE HELL LOOKS AT A TIDAL WAVE OF FIRE AND THINKS "Oh! Well, *OBVIOUSLY* if I just hold up my blades that cover like 1/5 of my #@(&ing body, I'll be totally fine!" That's the kind of mentality that would get you preemptively nominated for a (pun unintended) Goddamn DARWIN AWARD!
"...And our next Darwin Award goes to a former God of War developer and would-be firefighter who rushed into a house that was on fire to retrieve valuables! According to sources, their last words before they succumbed to 3rd and 4rth degree burns were: 'Bro, I don't get it, I held up a pitchfork, how did the flames hurt me? I was totes blocking them!' end quote."
All they had to do to make the fire attacks unblockable while still being fair was either shorten their range so it would be possible to dodge them. Or, if you keep the spewing fire, but at a certain range, they stop and concentrate into energy blades that get visibly deflected.
1:23:02 - "Yeah! We'll *NEVER* be a menace to society like *YOU* Are-"
Kratos: (Proceeds to Godzilla all over Rhodes)
eralia: "..."
2:02:42 - Athenians sitting in a room amid roaring flames, blood, and corpses: "This is fine..."
There are consequences to killing a god !
"Kratos, big war guy"
This is me begging: *Please* play the next game in the sequence; God of War 2.
Girl have you forgotten about your Mass Effect 3 playthrough?😂
P.S thank you for playing this series cause it's fn phenomenal
Now that you’ve beaten 2005 god of war, what god of war game do you plan on playing next? Just 2 and 3? Or do you plan on playing anymore? Trying not to spoil anything but 2 starts off with kratos hating the gods, and that doesn’t get explained unless you play ghost of Sparta which takes place between 1 and 2. And then there’s also a certain person(trying to avoid spoilers) that he meets in 2, where he says that he’s meet him before… well he meets him first in chains of Olympus(which takes place before 2005 god of war, this one you just beat) so I suggest playing at least chains and ghost before 2 and 3. But you might as well play ascension as well, chronically it takes place first before all the rest. So maybe in this order you should play them.
Ascension
Chains of Olympus
(2005 god of war) you just beat it
Ghost of Sparta
God of war 2
God of war 3
Anyways, which ever you decide, I can’t wait to see your reactions… these are the best story games I’ve ever played.
You should play the life is strange games next, I think you would absolutely love them!!❤️
i feel like making it past not only ares, but that terrible awful unplayable climbing section is a rite of passage for every fan of the series, congrats on finishing the game!
CONGRATULATIONS👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
