A lot of people in chat just say shit they think makes them look like a good or cool person, I remember going in a livestream chat and saying “kratos gets circumsized at the end” and they actually took it serious and insta banned me
I havent played the game but based on this video alone, I kinda love how much of a fuckin asshole he is lmao. Hes probably more of a dick in the game tho.
My all time favorite thing about this game is one small detail. After Kratos kills Heimdall he reaches for Gallarhorn but when doing the shooting for the choreography, Christopher Judge slightly missed the horn and then grabbed quickly after out of frustration. He asked to resort the scene cus he messed up but the director said, "No, that miss made it much better." And I could not agree more
Atreus: I'm just in a magical forest that shouldn't exist and I am talking to another giant who's... Ludwig: small? Atreus: ....yeah Ludwig: Do you have a crush on her man Atreus: No NO The timing gets me 💀
I could never do this, I am so impressed with your gaming stamina Lud. Also huge hats off to sacrificing some of your immersion and experience by sharing it with us in this way Rip Brok, Sindri's breaking in the face of his brother's death and lack of afterlife absolutely broke me
People who say shit like this are so weird. You know he probably got more money than you’ll make in the next few years for doing this? Yeah hats off to parasocial relationships woohoo
Fr, I used to be able to play games for 8+ hours a day when I was in hs. Now I’m in college and I only find them interesting for a few hours at most, if not at all. Which makes me sad bc I’ve been trying to beat elden ring but it’s impossible to make progress in your first souls games and first true open world game where you have to figure everything out on your own.. I say “first true open world game” bc I have played AC Odyssey which does have an open world where you can fight anyone at any level if you want but it has quests which continuously points you in the right direction, for the whole game. Elden ring doesn’t do that, so im just been trying to enjoy what I find in that game.
@@zach3096thunk you might wanna learn what parasocial relationship even means man, he isn't saying that lud is his best friend or that he's in love with Mr streamer man, he's literally just saying he finds it impressive for how many hours lud gamed with out a break or sleep...
For context on the troll who’s head you cut off, I think it’s meant to be the developers telling you “Hey, you’re not gonna fight a ton of these guys in the game” whereas in the last game, you fought a ton of them
Funny part of this was when you got the fake death and your chat kept saying +1 death Edit: I like how in this game Kratos can read some runes just like Atreus so it's good to know that Atreus finished teaching him after Modi interrupted them Edit 2: funny how Atreus thought he was the champion of the giants yet Kratos actually was
no, Loki is still the champion of the giants. But if you look back at Groa's shrine you can see Tyr leading Ragnarok with a spear. But that actually was Kratos with a spear. Loki was always the giant's champion, Kratos just "helped"
Lud had the best reaction to Kratos killing Heimdall lol "I feel bad now. I feel like I made an alcoholic drink again. But what if you didn't drink that beer and your son died? So, you know...what's one Blue Moon?"
I like the theory that brok is what changed the prophecy, the lady of the forge wasn't able to see brok so the odds that the norns were able to factor brok into the prophecy so when brok called out "Tyr" altering the prophecy
I think the story path for the next game is clear no matter what mythology is chosen. Atreus is out in another realm in his “Giant things” search, gets himself into deep trouble, then about halfway through the game or so you get the hero shot of Kratos rejoining his son to aid him in battle again. That scene alone would make the game incredible instantly.
Platniumed this game in a single walkthough, and went beyond Ragnarok! I cannot express how excited I am for NG+ and any other content they may or may not add. 15/10 experience especially off the heels of a marathon of GoW (2005-2018) the amount of character we see from not only Kratos but Atreus, Mimir, Brok, Sindri, and Freya! On top of the beautiful development within all of those characters arcs’. This start to finish was an absolute masterpiece and I cannot recommend how many times you’ve watch God of War to experience it yourself because it really is something special.
god of war ragnorak is by far my favourite game yet it has a story that I love and Im so glad that it has been so succesful and I wish everyone could experience this masterpiece. Love to see other peoples reactions to
@@hustlehumbly6169 I don't know if he said "I am Ragnarök", but it was something like that. And then he Ragnaröks all over them when they think the battle is over, which was a little inconsiderate.
When the first God of War game came out on the PS2, my brother and his friend and I all stayed up watching his friend play it with zero breaks (no pissing, drinking or eating) and yes we know that was stupid now. But we were young, and he ended up beating it in about 9 hours lol
I get that the early games are super beloved so I’ll preface this by saying this is JUST MY OPINION but I could not really vibe with the old ones pre-2018 reboot. They just weren’t my thing, but the story seemed cool from what I played!
Crazy how when Tyr speaks he doesn't have the accent mark but when people speak of Tyr he does have the little mark at the top. Foreshadowing the twist the whole time
I wonder if they would try to flesh out Atreus as Loki in spin off series, cause I feel like he could fit more in Celtic Mythology or Shintoism because of his affinity to nature
Interesting to see this game as an Icelander and understanding what they say and their depiction of Grýla was hilarious since it´s christmas time and she's part of the christmas holiday.
10:49 I think the devs were very self-aware and embraced criticism with the troll killing cutscene. We fought way too many of those fuckers in GoW 2018 that this fakeout was a way of saying, "Dont worry you dont have to fight this one, you've done that enough." Could be wrong but it's how I interpreted it.
Fun fact; the first time you enter nidavellir (or however you spell it) the dwarf spitting off the bridge is odin. He was keeping tabs on you through every realm
I'd love to see Kratos in Polynesian mythology. Maui canonically dies by Hine Nui Te Po, where he was crushed to death. Inside her V*gina. There's a challenge Santa Monica
In other news, thanks for showing me that I'm nowhere near as far in the game as I thought I was lol. I feel like It's gonna take a long ass time for me to beat
by far the best comment during the live stream was at 1:01:36 "HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GUNNA HAVE TO TEACH THIS LESSON OLD MAN!" that's fucking hilarious 😂
As someone who did GOW difficulty, its hard but not insanely hard, at least for me anyway, the normal enemies are more difficult than the boss bc it’s like 4 at a time instead of 1v1
47:31 I like how some people in chat were typing "SPOILERS!" as if they didn't just watch him play the entire fucking game

my man here got a solid point and i bet people will try dunk on you. also you spoiled the vid lol.
Lets all give a shoutout to the editors who had to cut this down to one hour.
I think Polite did this solo
Yeah i think only really missing the Forging of the Draupnir spear
Low key wish he made it like 3-4 hours, was a little upset they skipped a majority of the brok death scene
yeah and also cut out like some of the best parts of the best scenes of the game 💀
How long was the actual stream? Did he manage to beat it in 18-20 hours?
Ludwig not knowing Kratos lost a kid as her ashes are literally caked on the man
The dwarves are sooo well written characters. And the voice acting? I deadass shed a tear during Sindri's speech about Brok
I shed more tears when I learned neither actor for the dwarves got nominated for an award.
@@atmosstreams sadge
They deserved an award, Sindri’s lines are just so good
cringe
@@La_Marlow what happens to be cringe?
Does anyone know if the Odin voice actor is the actor of the old doctor in the tv series the good doctor?
23:14 the Abandon your child QTE had me rolling, thank you Polite for adding that
I am quite infuriated Mr Editor. For cutting out the part where Kratos finds the other side of the prophecy.
Honestly same, I was a little bummed at that. But overall they did a phenomenal job
And him crying
Mr editor at that point, has probably went trough 50+ hours of footage and he no longer gave a fuck
kinda bummed that this wasn't 3-4 hours. They cut out a lot of cool shit.
That and the first time Atreus became a bear...
broooo, was anyone else like super satisfied when heimdal got his face beaten in. IT was amazing
I havent played the game but based on this video alone, I kinda love how much of a fuckin asshole he is lmao. Hes probably more of a dick in the game tho.
@@hme850 Gna isn’t fun, that path only leads to pain
You hit me you actually hit me
Congratulations to those who stayed during the entire stream, they are probably somewhere there and don't know that they are such a chads
Idk if this counts but I watched the whole 2 vod of it and the extra vod of GOW
I watched 23 hours, 59 mins of the stream, and it was exausting
I watched almost 2hrs, and it was already exhausting

did anyone else notice when Lud almost missed the timed action at 1:00:34 ? idk why but that sent my laughing for no reason lmao
he never learns hahaha
Kratos really went from an angry serial killer to a therapist
Ludwig: "I have never done a 24 hour stream"
Also Ludwig: *literally did a 31 day subathon*
he slept
Those are two different things.
Spoken out of ignorance because you can’t understand the difference.
@@BrandonWestfall chill 🤣 he prolly didn't listen to all of what he said but
@@reptar69 Well technically they are quite the same, Ludwig just didn’t properly phrase it.
seeing Tyr at the beginning of the game be so scared of everything is different knowing it's Odin
"Have i had a kid?"

"Oh my Daughter.. my daughter."
I lost it when i saw that

"Let's do it together, we make a psp spinoff game" had me ugly laughing
i couldn't even make it the 24 hours. mad respect to ludwig i had to pass out at 2 am.
I sat through a lot of this stream and had fun. You definitely gotta play through games more often Lud.
Ludwig: "I'm not gonna stream as much from now on."
Also ludwig: Pogostuck Marathon, *The Container,* GOW: Ragnarok Marathon
I am proud of myself and other chatters for not saying "choke me mommy" during that freya vs odin cutscene.

The delivery on that chest plate out of dog barks line was A1
Truly was a phenomenal line

34:18 By far the funniest death in this playthrough to me.
Never knew lud was a mogul mail fan. Good to see him give mm a shout-out
Dang Lud is really good at summarizing things (46:38), he said all that at the top of his dome.
As someone who hasn't played any god of war game (but knows a tiny bit of the story) that ending still made me shed a tear damnnn

Love how Ludwing and James both did the throwing the enemies to the ledge cheese XD
One of the first gameplay streams I've watched in a looong time, it was wonderful. Thanks for the edited version
I love how deep Ludwig understands the story of this gow, in other playthroughs they play it any other game
Lol
love just hanging out while lud games, was there for most of the stream and it was my favourite of the year
I like how lud at the beginning says he didn’t sleep, but last 2-3 hours of the gameplay he took a nap
Ludwig taking like an hour to figure out how to hit Heimdall was stressing me out
Love it when there’s an emotional moment in the game and Lud does a terrible joke

23:08 he also killed his own family in the confusion of battle and that’s why he’s so white, bc he was cursed to bear his family’s ashes forever
Thank you for waiting until after I beat the game to post this.
I haven’t laughed hard in a long while, but when Lud said to Gryla “Oooh, you thought we meant thaaat kitchen” I fucking died.

P-rank every level in ULTRAKILL on one stream (including the secret levels)
props to politesl for being able to cut this game down to 1 hour
I wish they did a bit of a longer edit for this, too many good scenes were skipped over. Still good though 💪
as someone who struggles with sleeping, im am surprised that its not normal to just. be awake for 30+ hours at least once a month
40 minutes in to the video I had already forgotten he did this all in one go
29:05 No one gonna talk about how Ludwig said “Dang” when he saw Thurd💀
