God of War: The Story So Far
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- In 2018, the God of War reboot did what some considered unlikely: Turn a murderous, rage-aholic warrior into a sympathetic father figure and revitalize a series that felt as if it had run its creative course. With the sequel, God of War: Ragnarok, on the horizon, let's catch up with ol' Kratos, his son Atreus, and where we last left the Nordic realm.

It's not that confusing. There's a dad of boi... and a few midgets. A head that never shuts up. The dad can smash mountains but can't jump up a 3 ft ledge. Boi shoots things with an arrow and a never ending quiver. That's about it
Epic 😂😂😂
Amazing
Most Honest Review Ever
Don't get me wrong. It's a 10/10 and one of my all time favs
👌🏾
This game's cinematography and cutscenes are perfect.
Is it still called cut scene if it's a single camera? Just asking....
It’s called the single shot technique
12:30 that scene of them on the giant fighting while Keaton and Atreus tag teaming Baldur shooting arrows while falling is one of the coolest cutscenes in the game.
Rangnarok gonna be 10 /10 a true sequel
Definitely not a sequel
@@CensorTube84 Definitely a sequel.... The story continues in this game which means its a sequel.
@@po72644 exactly
Facts💯🔥
@@po72644 game of the year too
GoW is one of the best series of all time .
Agreed
One of the best ever game campaign ever, Those memories of first time playing GoW
Much awaited recap. Thank you IGN. NOW I'M READY FOR RAGNAROK❄️❄️
Can’t forget about the Valkyrie’s. They played a big role and they appeared in the Ragnarok trailer
But the Valkyries in GoW 2018 were mini optional bosses, not important to the story
Kratos standing between the mouth of a falling dragon is still epic
This whole series is a masterpiece
No. The original trilogy is. This is a sequel to crap.
Kratos rage can be so extreme at times
Nah really?
The Greek pantheon agrees
.... Just at times
Not sure that’s a bug or a feature.
mmmmm
Thought you were going to do the whole series not just the last game
Well that story ended so how can it be apart of "the story so far" as those aren't apart of this story cause you know they had their conclusion
Facts, it’s weird for the OG’s lol.
The whole series is not relevant for the upcoming Ragnarok title, which is what inspired this story recap. It wouldn't really make any sense to go over what happened in Greece, everything that's relevant from Kratos' pass was already covered in GoW 2018.
Video games, when done correctly are such a true form of art.
The road so far from supernatural plays in my head for no reason
This game nobody can forget best of all time
forgot what a masterpiece this game was
This games story was great all those years ago fighting the Greek pantheon and now it’s even better. Santa Monica and insomniac will have my trust with any games forever
Kratos was always a sympathetic father figure. That’s his whole motive to do the things he does
Should've done a summary since the first game, not just of 2018
They completely disrespect the previous games.
@@antisortep2530 they sure did, maby it would be too long of a video.
We dont talk about that here. It was just a rough patch in his life. But look he is reformed and is even a dad now.
And dont ever try mentioning Calliope either.
Why did this guy say it's a reboot when it's literally a direct sequel of the third main game?
@@al112v4 Answer is in the first line. He used to be rageaholic murderous warrior now he is not.
See you guys November 9th I’m tired of waiting
Riding the high of just getting done with bayonetta 3 ...and November will be Ragnarok time....winter just keeps getting better and better..
First game beat RDR2 for game of the year, and this one beats the Elden Ring for the Game of the Year.
Angry man is angry. Kills many. Destroys much. Becomes dad. Continues killing.
[Some salty weirdos in the replies. Love the series. Just being silly ffs]
Just get a PlayStation dude. We all know u only have an Xbox and you're salty about it.
@@Rocksolid1613 facts
Yeah sure, buddy.
Interstellar: Man gets near black hole, takes too long to come home.
Inception: People dream together, wake up, leave without explaining.
Last of us: Guy and a kid travel and kill.
Blade runner: Hi, I'm a genetically engineered killer. Yeah.
Mad Payne: Cop kills bad people.
Halo: Futuristic soldier kills aliens.
Red Dead 2: Outlaw robs other people then dies.
@Blue Hawk been a PS owner since '98. ALL of them. Love the series. Learn to get jokes bro
Besides OP, you're all pretty dumb and missed the point
Ready for ragnarok
Correct me if I’m wrong, but if you do a recap of a series. You do a recap of the SERIES. Not just one game
Right. Luckily GameSpot did it a couple of days ago
The trilogy isn’t important as much as this game for the sequel
They never called it a series recap its a "the story so far" and well the og series story has ended so how can it be apart of "the story so far" as those aren't apart of this story cause you know they had their conclusion
@@malachiolmstead The story beats still carry over. His trauma with his lost family, how pointless his ruthless wrath on the Gods were. Not only is he continually faced with it throughout the game, but an entire section is dedicated to him having to literally dig into his past to save his son. Without the context of the previous titles' story, the references at most would read like ambiguous flavor text to be expanded upon by some prequel story. Except it already exists.
thats what im saying gang
It absolutely aligns with the Loki mythology we know and that's the genius of the story. Loki tricks buldar with mistletoe to kill him. Loki is the father of the world serpent, and was a son of a giant adopted by Odin The writers weaved the mythology perfectly into a story that all these things stated in the Prose edda are still true
What a masterpiece of storytelling
Mimir:I’m dangling from the hip of the BLOODY GHOST OF SPARTA!!!
one of Mimir’s best quotes
One more week, just one more week….
Its not often you get a game with a fantastic story WITH great combat
It feels so weird hearing atreus sound so young...
DRAUGR??? MORE DRAUGR!!!
Kratos : are you ready son
*boy
Beautifully re-capped. Kudos.
This was 100 times better than the Ragnarok summary
yoooo we almost there guysss
1:06 The stranger who look like…. 😅😅
The Story So Far is a sick band too
5:48 anyone noticed he said that" their princess is in another cat-"
What a great recap! Thanks IGN!
That whole scene where kratos comes back from the light is amazing
this isn't "the story so far" this is the story of one game
You know damn well IGN about to give Ragnarok a 7 when it comes out
No they gave it a 10
it deserves a 7 but ign being ign gave a 10.
Look how the farther set up his son to fall in to the devils Snake Pit.
Kratos does Snake moves on his own son.
Please be careful out there guys - lots of spoilers in the wild. Can't wait to experience the game.
Yeah spoilers are everywhere
Kratos gets Odin's spear and we get to play as Atreus halfway through the game. Want to know more?
Thanks for the refresher
Can’t wait for the sequel!
Wonderful recap
I’ve waited years just to see who blew that freakin horn in the first game.
7 more days until we have this masterpiece in our own hands. I'm excited to play this game. Ragnarok is coming..lol
The best ever happened in games history
I'm eager to see the rating IGN would drop on this game
Great explanation video
Masterpiece game ever
Few more hours fellas
Game of the year already
Why didn’t they use tc Carson orginial voice when we see the vision of kratos beating Zeus?
Ragnarok is gonna be great. If it is SOMEHOW better than Elden Ring, I’ll be pleasantly surprised.
You really like elden ring?
@@reekhavoc2932 what’s not to like Elden ring is the best game to release this year by a mile
Baldur's dragon is probably a interpretation of his ship, useless little detail but maybe interesting nonetheless.
So excited
Thank u for the recap
Wow an other video ! Keep it up man,
Kratos killed himself at the end of GOW 3. I really hope they explain how he’s alive and ended up in the Norse Realm
he cant die because of the curse of the sins he committed
@@AzraeI_ wrong, his sins don't make him immortal.
@@felipez3115 right, so how the hell is he alive?
14:09 U sure that is Kratos?
It’s Odin Kratos doesn’t die in Ragnarok :)
This game is the best I've ever played. Had to platinum it! Can't wait for Ragnorok.
damn odin is one on mural and odin kills thor really shocking twists
I’m so hype can’t wait
🎉
why make this video if you dont show pre-2018 GOW
The first game left me with some unanswered questions, like:
Why (or by who) was Freya pulled out of the Elf realm?
What did the dark elf mean by saying Cratos is making a big mistake?
How did Zeus get in Norse hell?
Why was Cratos in mural art?
I hope all these questions get answered in Ragnarok.
All of these were already answered in GOW 2018 and the Novel.
Freya was cursed by Odin to never leave Midgard, she and Mimir even say so in game several times
Zeus wasn't actually in Helheim, it was an illusion made to torture Kratos just like Baldur saw an illusion of Freya in Helheim.
Faye (Laufey) Kratos' wife was precognitive and could see the future and etched it in stone, so more than likely she saw his impending "doom"
Kratos tells Atreus that when the Elves were fighting they had no business interfering in the affairs, not knowing that they unintentionally already were with freeing the light from Alfheim, which clearly the Dark Elves weren't keen on because it benefited the Light Elves.
@@tramainecanty5846 Wow thanks! I'm gonna replay GOW 2018 soon and I'm sure gonna keep my eyes and ears open for these.
Kratos was in the light of alfhaim for 4 days
Why did Freya tell Kratos that the arrows were cursed and got rid of them?
So they couldn't kill baldur?
Yes
Cant wait for the sequel
Ready for Ragnarok!!!
A game without gameplay is called a movie
Exactly
Except that this game has more gameplay than cutscenes.
But the gameplay has the player extremely restricted. It gives the illusion of gameplay when in fact is manual movie. All the slow motion when walking, the lack of jump button and overall the lack of freedom
I’m tired of this narrative that Kratos is now a sympathetic father figure and was nothing more then a rageaholic anger filled murderer. He’s always been a deep layered character, the games are just more cinematic and story driven that’s all. We met the man trying to commit suicide because he was tormented by his nightmares from his past, if that’s not deep then idk what is. He loved calliope and lysandra but was consumed by war and tricked by Ares into giving up his life from fear. He wanted nothing more than to kill Zeus but wasn’t willing to sacrifice pandora but his rage got the best of him like the human he was. Yes he was consumed and fueled by rage and revenge but he was also more then that. Depressed but determined, remorseful and regretful. He loved his mother, his brother, his soldiers, his wife and child and all was taken from him by his own family, the gods of Olympus. He served them faithfully and yet was toyed by and tormented by them countless times. Id bury all my feelings but rage and anger as well.
Baldur really does look like the bass player from every folk metal band 😂😂🔥🔥❤️❤️love it
Can’t wait to play this game, Boi!
Presumably called ragnorok? As if it hadn’t been confirmed
🤣🤣🤣
80% ragnarok have been leaked
Lmao they said Kratos dies 🤯
Let’s hope it won’t turn out to be like cyberpunk 2077
Truly, a Shakespearian plot.
The release for ragnorok is almost here, who else is hyped
👇
When are we getting the ragnarök story video @ign???????
Very cool summary
The murderous rage aholic warrior was much more of a father figure to Calliope than to boy. It's laughable that how much you want to distance the 2018 game from the Trilogy.
This isn't the story so far it's what they did so far
Wonder if there is any new Odins Mazes in Niflheim
Keep calm it just a week now😋🤗can't chucking wait to play it on my ps4💪
IT'S NOT A REBOOT IT'S LITERALLY A DIRECT SEQUEL OF THE THIRD MAIN GAME.
Goddamn these 'journalists'.
So after smashing Baldur through 1000 trees and rocks with no broken bones yet all he had to do was snap his neck? Just like the Man of Steel villain?
Baldur was struck by the mistletoe which eventually weakens him and vulnerable.
Brok dies, Odin kills Thor.
You have a poor soul
Every yt channel dropping there sum up of gow
7:48 aren't those blades Athena's?
No they are of chaos
If theres something strange in your neighborhood. Who you gonna call!
GODBUSTER
Tre and Kray Kray on another Rick and Morty adventure
The story is that you deliver the ashes of the wife in the mountain and everything happened
hope kratos doesn't die in Ragnorok
@@rameshsuvarna5301 Have you played the game?
Preordered
This game is a masterpiece. Best game of all time.
So y'all really just gonna lie about that mural prophecy being Atreus holding Kratos?
Mimir is the best thing that happened in the game
