Today, when writing what I was grateful for, I could only think: GOW community and Santa Monica devs. Reading your comments is like a spiritual experience for me lol!! I feel so proud to be a gamer, and a God of War fan. I feel very connected to you all through a screen, to share such a universal experience makes me feel not alone. I wish I knew you all when I was younger. 🌞✨
That’s sweet of you 😊❤
You are the best 😘
Você disse ...BRASILLLLLL!!!!! ??? 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Você acaba de invocar algo que não pode ser parado ...... VIVA RATANAMBA!!!!
hehehhee beijinhos @@anarquistadoente1490
I have seen all your GoW journeys, I am happy. You were amazing throughout the games. I hope I will see you once again with the next GoW installment, hope it won't take much time. Goodbye and Take care and be happy. ♥️
Just to ad a bit more. The moment that Kratos leaves Valhalla is the same as he saw on the painting. Axe on the shoulder, bathed in light.
😭😭😭❤❤❤
That’s insane
Dang ur right I didn’t even notice that
2:00:25 "Hope, when all else is lost" is exactly what Pandora said to kratos in gow 3 ❤
2:02:09 "You are more than that. You have always been more than what others saw." I feel like this was the devs telling us players that Kratos wasn't a 1 dimensional angry person with no character development that almost everyone believed. The biggest fight is always with yourself, with your own mind.
I don’t understand the people who say Kratos is too soft now. They want him to be the same as he was back then, but the problem with that is that he can’t stay angry all the time. The older people get, the more we reflect on our actions in the past. Kratos is more emotionally stable now and is more caring towards people. If that’s considered “soft”, then it’s a compliment.
When u get older, u realize more. Some people dont see that
The problem most people really see is that now we can't get more god of war games without having to leave behind Kratos and go with Atreus.
Kratos is just a show how to built a amazing character. Thats all
YOU CHOSE...!
...I...chose...
Finally accepting his past self as an actual part of himself, and not a disconnected caricature, a nightmare filling his conscience with guilt.
"I believe I would like to sit here for a while."
The little smile that Mimir gives after Kratos says that brings me so much joy.
And I also love the music playing during the credits. The mix of Kratos' old God of War theme song and his Norse theme is perfect.
Bear really went HARD. I feel like all the actors & devs did with this DLC. So great when you can see the effects of a project the whole team is passionate about!
What i love about that final shot of kratos on the throne, is that it looks like the ashes of his family have finally worn away in the fade away, showing he truly did find redemption
Ur reaching hard fam
@@ii_wav_ii3629 no he is not, ur pathetic brain might not comprehend everything
Kratos coming full circle taking the throne he grew to despise. He hated the gods. And hated himself for being one. And now he will eventually be seen as the new all father figure. Even if he is only part of the council. He led the rebellion. He helped rebuild. His apprehension to taking the throne shows how deserving he is of it. Hes learned so much. And here he is bathed in light.
"Bathed in light" thank you for this--I was trying to figure out why the lighting affected me so much, and it's so unique. I believe that's exactly what the devs intended ❤❤❤
@@MegMage the all father has risen
The sequence between Kratos and his younger self reminds me of a therapy technique therapists use called the empty chair technique. Its quite interesting. Basically, the client sits on a chair whilst facing an empty chair, and imagines someone sitting on that chair, whether it be someone they used to know like an ex or a deceased person, themselves, etcetera. Its mainly more structured, and it makes the person face their issues in the present moment..very helpful for those with post traumatic stress or in grief.
That's called monologue, is way older than it looks
The thing I like about Tyr during the fight, he's positively motivating and enlighting you, instead the typical taunt.
Btw greetings from Brazil!
Kratos now has a brother in Mimir, a comrade in Freya, a son who loves him and a whole squad of badass women for friends. Our boy really made it.
The opposition between how young Kratos sits on his thrown compared to to old Kratos is brilliant. Young Kratos is unmoving. Stoic. Unaffected by his surroundings. Alone. And angry. Old Kratos is the opposite when he sits. He's in touch with his environment. Content. At peace. And most importantly, not alone. With friends like Mimir by his side.
every time Kratos said “you are more than that” always tears me up
I think, in a beautifully ironic way, everyone who worked on these new games have placed themselves in service like Kratos, allowing us to go along for this journey. Bravo to everyone involved, and the biggest thank you for your work.
I cried at this ending too. It's really to think about what we would say to our younger selves who struggle with our past, but the hard part is admiting it out loud. This DLC is all time great, just like the full game, the series, and the franchise. Great job Meg
As an old GOW fans, the final part of the DLC is a real tear-jerker.
The way mimir is with kratos on the throne 😭😭
You can imagine how well they will rule the 8 realms. It's satisfying to think about.
Right hand head!
He was always more than how others saw him. And for a long time, he himself forgot that.
If you can see in God of War 3, when Pandore confront him. He realise Hope is going to change him.
Once a broken man now sits in the broken throne, the throne of hope, the last thing that remains after war, death and pain. Hope has its champion, now, greece awaits for it to return.
What i love in that last clip is that Kratos put mimir on his right side like that’s my right hand man 👨.
I didn't even consider this while they were going through Valhalla. Mimir was doing similar work to ensure he'd be a great advisor and right hand man. 😭
Never once after playing all the original series of the God of War games years ago did I ever suspect they would one day be associated with some of the best character pieces in games.
As a brazilian, it fills me with joy to see Meg completing this journey with this shirt! 🥰Valhalla was such a perfect epilogue to Kratos' story. I often see people saying that GoW 2018 and Ragnarok disregarded the old games, but this DLC proved that Kratos' entire arc wouldn't work without all the stuff from his past. And its so good seeing him finally accepting all the bad things that he did. Even if some of it was unforgivable, Kratos finally understood that he just didn't know better then, but he does now, and he has the opportunity to make up for all of it by becoming a better leader.
And I also love his little realization that becoming the new "official" god of war also means servitude to the people, its not just a position of power. I love this character, man. Praised be the god of hope!
The best King's and Leader's are those who never wanted to be King's or Leader's but because of who they were and what they did for the people next to them they were more than deserving of Title and Leadership. Hail King Kratos God Of War Who Inspires Hope.
It’s a shame TC Carson and Santa Monica aren’t on speaking terms right now. Because hearing Carson and Judge speak to each other in that final moment would’ve been mind blowing
Pandora to Kratos in GOW3: "Hope is what makes us strong. It is why we are here. It is what we fight with when all else is lost."
1:13:03
Me: Oh cool the realistic lamellar armor!
Meg: No, ewh.
Me: 🥲
And that ladies and gents is called a character arc!
2:04:51 I've seen theories that in a future game Kratos might go back to Greece to help his old homeland now that he's a changed man.
But greek is gone dawg💀💀😭😭
@@ScorZulu Firstly there's one thing to remember that Kratos gave his power of hope to the mankind in the end of GOW so maybe they survive?
And yeah, if we think about what Freya said about Greek land getting destroyed and Kratos loosing his old magical and godly powers, but still According to Tyr, there were survivors in Greece that eventually rebuild the world as they spoke of Kratos' act of ripping Helios' head off.
Plus there were dozens of Greek Gods that never made it into the game or never battled with Kratos. Who knows if Greece survives because of them?
Possibilities are endless and then he could actually go back and help rebuild the place his past actions destroyed. Could be his another redemption arc
@@ScorZuluGreece likely survived and rebuilt itself after the destruction.
@@Pricelukedor, the Romans took over Greece
BRASIL IS HERE! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. That DLC is a masterpiece and Kratos has a unique background shaped all over this years (since 2005).
SAUDADES!!!! 😭 Obrigada ❤
Therapy complete! Probably more effective than laying on a couch and looking up at the ceiling, talking your feelings out. 😅
I really like the title God of Hope
and I'm really enjoying GOWR:
Valhalla DLC have a great week and thanks very much Meg 👋🐶🐶👋
If you'd have told me before 2018 that out of all the big buff dudes that existed solely to extoll a disgusting male power fantasy that Kratos would be the one I'd feel most connected to I'd have scoffed, but it's worth noting that his legacy makes the catharsis all the truer. Those of us that've been hurt and hurt in turn and have tried to disengage from that cycle can see him as a wonderful proxy for that, but also for the writing of the era the original GoW came out. We're all growing and acknowledging that growth can be hard. I loved experiencing these games with you, Meg. You're a wonderful and genuine person.
I will cry LMAO! THANK YOU 😭😭😭😭
So good to see the Reaction from people who actually played the OG Games & actually feels the weight of this Scene.
I cringe everytime someone calls the Blade of Olympus "That's a big Sword" 😂
He has come a long way
The way the kusic keeps changing when talking about his past and who he is now was perfect. When chastising his past, classic kratos theme plays. When he has moments of true reflection, his new theme, Atreus' theme and Fayes theme plays alternatively.
Hey Meg, congrats on beating Valhalla! I'm glad to see you enjoyed yourself with the DLC, there is something I was hoping to see you react to, but I guess the next best thing is hinting at where you can find it, if you go into the outfit pedestal you should be able to press down on one of the analog sticks to use a new and special look. Also, you should have access to this new look (In the character screen) and the Blade of Olympus in New Game + once you've gone to Sindri's house and opened the chest
I'll check this out today :)
I had kinda forgoten why I love Meg's purity and innocence so much ahaha her reaction was just as same as mine
2:00:50 when he says theres no forgiving you, you chose, that always hits me cause ive done things that ive regretted and theres times i wanna confront my young self likw this so i can beat him up, wouldn't care if it affected me as well
i love your reactions to the emotional moments cause it means you get the story you understand kratos story and how much he has changed and grown i grew up with this character for 19 years and too see other people relive my childhood go on this journey its been great too see. keep playing and enjoying these stories.
I'm not the first to notice this, and it might not even be intentional. But with the fadeout from Kratos and Mimir on the throne, near the end of it, it looked for a bit that Kratos' ashes were gone.
That whole scene deserves an Oscar. If this one movie, I’m pretty sure he would get one for that.
I knew that the final scene would break you as it did me aswell. In Greece Kratos was forced upon the throne by gods who hated him and by people who feared him. In Norse Kratos takes the throne by his own right and deed and is encouraged by gods who see him as a brother and friend and is worshipped by people who see him as a hero and love him because of what he is to them not just what he can do for them.
Yeah in greece he was a mess he tried to kill himself and was suicidal jumping off that mountain and thinking of jumping every now and then and lived in hate since he killed his own wife and child and the gods drinking tee and eating pop corn while at it…..here he was at peace finally.
Its a beautiful story of redemption. A man who was fueled by rage and seeing the destruction he caused. To forgive himself and accept his decisions is not easy. Everyone wants a redemption story from the evils they've done to others and themselves, via words or actions. Everyone relates to this because we're all looking for that redemption.
Coming back to this, I just wanted to say that I adore what they decided to place behind the door. it could have been Zeus, it could have been Kratos daughter.
Instead, it's not only himself but *not* a boss battle against himself. Instead he must look upon the man he was, the man he became and them man he in many ways still is. Self-reflection, that is the true boss battle.
Fico feliz que voce gostou aqui do Brasil! Sua serie esta incrível e parabens pelo canal!!!!! 🇧🇷
Now if you play new game + in the main game, you use both the legacy rage and use kratos's OG skin.
I was so waiting for you to get to the end of this cause I knew you were gonna love it and your reaction did not disappoint
The Weapons Tyr Uses:
-Spear and Shield (These were his weapons seen on the statue of him)
- A Macuahuitl (Aztec Mace)
- Two Khopesh (Egyptian Sabers)
- Katana (Japanese Sword)
It is noted that many of these Weapons were gifts that people from other cultures gave to Tyr while he was traveling outside the Nordic world. It is curious that people who had other deities became fond enough of Tyr to give him these gifts, as we were told in The first Norse game in Tyr's chamber he visited many cultures to gain knowledge and people gave him many gifts as a sign of affection, Tyr was a God who literally traveled to many places to help and learn and by not interfering with the government others deities because he only dedicated himself to helping his people. I wouldn't be surprised if Tyr had also become friends with the Aztec, Egyptian and Japanese gods.
11:15 The only thing more annoying than Helios's head would be if Heimdall's head was talking to Kratos.
Or Hermes.
Take your Throne King
That Was Amazing!
In life
Accepting yourself the way it is before is the same way on how you repent on your sins
Legend says "if you want to be better in the future, accept the consequences of your past and develop yourself along the way" same way as valhalla "master thyself" by accepting yourself
GOW valhalla is not just a therapy game for Kratos but also telling us what we need to do for us to be better along the way
That's why I love this game so much than the previous series
I cried like a baby when i watched the cutscene ,even more when trophy.
*god of hope*
dropped
Hail Kratos, the God of Hope!!!❤❤❤
I am so glad I kept myself from Valhalla spoilers till now! Your reaction to that final cutscene was beautiful and highlighted the experience making it seem like the end of a journey. Well done Meg!
I remember playing the old God of war. Games And crados has grown so much .
Also I want to thank the comments and the Pineapple squad for once again not spoiling, especially with the big reveal behind the door. Thank you all! 🙏
I'm checking in every day to see if you have released Part 1 of Halo 3, I can't wait much longer!
muito legal em saber que vc ama o Brasil ❤
Leave it to Troy Baker (Magni) and Nolan North (Modi) to find their way back into the franchise again.
Love you Meg
Hii Meg, congrats on completing this DLC! Was honestly waiting for this reaction.
If you keep playing Valhalla a bit more, he'll talk the boat captain, but more importantly about his first wife and daughter. Not gonna say anything else but it's worth looking into.
And yeah, you can play as OG classic Kratos by going to the pedestal where you can change your armour and press R3. And in the story mode, you have to be in New game plus to play as the skin.
All hail lord kratos the god of hope
You didn't look at the new appearance for kartos
I’ve said it before I’ll say it again. Kratos is the best developed character in gaming history and is one of the best characters in fiction.
Hey Meg mage i love your gameplay and cutscene reactions to the god of war series 😁😎 I love how emotional you are XD your fun to watch 😘😂
Not a good ending, but Perfect Ending.
Brazilian subscriber here. =)
Meg, we love you 🥰 2:07:15 I saw magni and modi Troy baker Joel and Nolan north Nate? I didn’t know that 😀
congrats on finding yourself... you can always continue in valhalla and fight some more for practice..🙂
The DLC was great imo.
as much as i love the series, i feel like this was a great place to end it, if they do....like i hope they dont, but if they did it would be a good place, you know?
I get it, I love how it ended but if they have to continue it then I hope they maintain the significance of how Kratos's story ends here
I feel like they did it this way to put an end to that feeling of "kratos might go back to his old self" we get playing these new games. I feel like the writers are telling us that from here on out any GoW games will be having this "God of Hope".
Agreed. Like, you can have him in more games but his story and character arc should remain done. This is clearly a story that means so much to many people. I hope they dont sully that to sell more games.
You really should play a plague tale requiem❤
I never imagined seeing a Brazilian jacket here 🇧🇷
now you can equip young kratos skin, its fun to use in NG+, all emotions are more clear and fun
God of Hope sounds weird (especially for a warrior like Kratos)😄
O how i love to watch meg cry
there's a secret ending where sigrun leaves Valhalla and Mimir
Sou de Minas Gerais no Brasil, e amo God of War!! 🇧🇷♎️❤️
We love you ❤️🇧🇷
now all that its leff for kratos i think is to accept the blades rather than trying to get rid of them and use them do do the oposite he did in older gow i could be rong tho
I have watched you playing all God of war games 🥹 and it was a great time to watch you playing this Masterpiece ❤️ Thank you, I hope we would see our 'God of Hope' soon.
1:59:25. Pandora's theme
caramba te assisto tanto tempo não sabia que tinha morado aqui
this may be a first i have watched a lot of people play this and not seen both magdi and modi kill kratos🤭
Brazil mentioned
Curitiba really ? I from Paraná state but close to Paraguay 😂
Linda camisa 🇧🇷👍🏼😊
I liked the t-shirt !!🇧🇷♎️❤️
Is she supposed to be crying at the end 😂😂😂😂
1:59:26 it's him
It kind of upsets me that the original creator of GoW doesn’t like the new direction and Kratos’ redemption story. He wanted Kratos to stay how he was
Oh you missed the new skin you got.
Brasil mencionado 🎉🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Dümenden zırlıyor m kk
Don’t worry it makes me cry too 🥲 “you have always been more, than what others saw”
