The entire God Of War series (including the new ones) has a very very special place in my heart. I would have loved them anyway, but I played God Of War with my dad growing up, and at the time my dad was a very angry man and far from a great parent. He hit absolute rock bottom, basically ruining everything in his life. Then, around 2016 he started turning it all around, and became a fantastic father that I could truly be proud of. Hes now calm and collected, working hard to keep things stable for his new family (im an adult now and he remarried and has another daughter) Its crazy how the game I used to play with my dad, mirrored his life so well.
@@ZeallustImmortal HAHAHAH not sure if it's a good thing but I'm glad for you that it gives you that EXTRA layer of meaning other than "It's badass" like it is for me
@@knightmer3645 It wasnt a good thing back in 2000-2015, but since 2016 it has been fantastic and me and my father are healthy now and have a very healthy relationship too :)
My favorite thing about GOW 3 has to be the enemy designs. These are definitely some of the most badass interpretations of classical creatures from Greek Mythology, and they feel so much more threatening and intimidating than in other games. Sure, the enemy designs in GOW have always been great, but thanks to GOW 3's updated graphics, it gave these creatures a lot more visual polish and allowed them to really stand out compared to before, with the Chimeras being a personal favorite of mine.
@@vlad_47 Oh yeah, I know that most enemies retain the same general design throughout the games, I just mean in terms of visual appearance, the enemies of GOW 3 look a lot more detailed and polished compared to previous games. For example, Centaurs in GOW 1 looked pretty blocky and awkward, but in GOW 3, they certainly look a lot cooler and more imposing. Makes sense given that it's on a more powerful console, but I still appreciate the visual upgrades to the enemy designs regardless.
@@ShyGuy-op8vd Yes, I get what youre saying. The enemies were improved, both mechanically and in terms of design. The set pieces and locations tho havent trumped GoW 1 and 2 despite the superior graphics. Athens, Pandoras Temple, Island of Creation are all iconic and nail Greek mythology perfectly, while GoW 3 locations are somewhat unimpressive imo.
Kratos was willing to leave Hermes alone and gone on with his quest to beat Zeus but Hermes had to screw around and found out in brutal fashion. Kratos was the villain who was willing to destroy the world just to fight Zeus aka killing gods and the consequences the world suffers from their deaths. The gameplay, the aesthetics, the storyline, music and world building is top notch in setting up the finale of the Greek Saga.
@@jmgonzales7701 He was after revenge he didn't deserve, took out the people he was avenging and destroyed all of Greece. He's not a hero by any stretch. Even the talk of 'giving Hope' is a meme.
@@BigVEE yeah, kratos is not a hero by any means... but his actions even if not intended, gave humanity their power and hope back, if someday kratos come back to Greece, he could be remembered as a hero in the history's books
@@GoodGamer360 >gave Hope back >Nu-GoW nonsense Non-canon (like their talk of him always being a 'god'). Soft reboot is a different continuity that boldly (and lazily) just says whatever (like BoC coming back without even remembering to have him go to the throne room for the Soul of War/Hate). The verse makes clear there can't be other places to just 'walk to' (and yet that is all Norse offers **plus the Egypt memes for even less credible sources**). Hope was scattered. Humanity that is alive (almost none) with the horrible conditions (killing them) have no conception of it let alone means to wield it. None survive. There are no history books. They won't even know who destroyed them (and the afterlife). A villain beyond comparison without Athena to fix things (should she be unable to regather things). I doubt the creators even think to recall Last Spartan, this timeline's Kratos, etc. should be able to fight their way back to avenge themselves against this invading Krate (ours). Athena would happily assist. Alas, between journos and execs, we get to pretend (through devs daring not to speak truth) Greek was tapped out (for interest and material). But enough of this.
There is nothing better than a thing to love endlessly. It just gives and gives, years on. It’s so good to dive into it, get lost in it and temporarily forget about the bs that is real life. I’m so happy you have a thing like that, Zesticle. Awesome to see you continue to express your passion for it. And find a pretty sizable audience to share it with, too. It’s beautiful.
You're the only person on the internet who I've seen bring up the fact that you play as the villain in GoW. Or maybe it's obvious but that always stood out to me
@@lazerfrogstudios most games are just you going around killing people and being framed as the good guy. Hence to me it stood out that in GoW the gameplay is lore accurate. To put it differently, it was the first game I played where they let you play as the antagonist in a literal sense
Our first time playing GOW 3 was a round with 6 men in a room and one goal - to enjoy the game to the fullest. Halfway through the game we were no longer arguing about who was allowed to play, but rather who had to. Basically it was a damn long movie. A damn good movie. What a game!
@@dd867 I hated the new one. But when I heard the reviews it made me rage more at it. "Masterpiece" they say the game is even though it is far from it.
Bro I've never related the Omphalos stone with the one Cronos ate or maybe I didn't think of it that way. This is actually beautiful and makes the Nemesis Whip 10x better lore wise.
There is so much great hack & slash games like DMC, Onimusha, Darksiders, Castlevania LoS trilogy etc. But GoW is another level for gaming. Especially GoW 3, newer GoW games have better graphic and they are bigger games, but no new game will top GoW 3 in terms of gameplay, atmosphere, pacing and Boss fights. Let's hope for new GoW games will back to it's roots of faster pacing and gameplay.
Zesty god of war 3 its also my favourite game its just so good in every aspect of the game from the mechanics to the combat system to the weapons i love it so much like you
I loved God of War 3 as a kid because of its combat and unprecedented metal-ness. Our PS3 is broken now after more than a decade, but watching your video makes me want to find a way to play GOW3 again. The game is ageless at this point. It truly *is* a masterpiece.
This Game is my favorite in the series for sure and I've been playing this game/series for many years, but the little details you mentioned at the end of the video is impressive and I've never gave those things another look even after my very first initial play though. Good Job and Great Video!
I love this game as much as you do man 😂 i replayed a thousand times and im still going to replay it more. I love the combat, the bosses, the music, the weapons, everything... my favorite game of the series and one of my favorite games of all time. Great video man, i will never stop praising this game either
28:56 that was Kratos scoffing Athena after all he went through with her and the Gods she says she’s “disappointed” in him. Kratos probably thought she had some nerves.
Finally early to the GOAT of God of war. Replaying 1 after work today gentlemen started it last night and was too tired. God of war is peak fiction like berzerk.
Love this video and appreciation for one of my favorite games of all time! I throughly enjoyed this and I’m glad there are others that have and feel the same compassion for Kratos as me. All hail Lord Kratos the true God of War.
You’re teaching me a lot on the combat 😭 I’m on the hardest difficulty on the part where I have pandora going thru the labyrinth trying to get out and you get to that wave of sirens, Minotaurs, & noob enemies. I keep dying on that part but I’m gonna try again from what I was taught today, THANK YOU

Gow 2 had the perfect gameplay, controlling Pegasus fighting in the sky and defeating the sisters of fate will never not be epic A remake would be welcome on so many levels
I love the way the hits were counted and the blood upgrade method is so sick which is missing in gow 2018 and ragnarok.. The brutal gow and seemeless action in gow 3 is unmatchable
I used to think to think this as a kid..and growing up playing this game I can see how it’s not really “appropriate” for a kid but I feel it’s been a blessing playing this as a kid I feel God was in it in some way shape or form.
I feel the same about gow1 as you feel about gow3 if i was a youtuber i would say .... Pandoras temple all the traps the challenges of the gods the power they gave you, the full circle you do in Pandora's temple with the skulls, the desert, the city, the under water, the under world , and the way you comeback from the under world................. And coming full circle again in the end: " the gods of olympus have abandon me, now their is no hope ". "2005"
Ever since I was 4, my favorite games have been god of war 1 and 2. To this day, God of war 2 is still my favorite game, though I only like it more than 3 because of nostalgia. (The is much better and more fluid game. Best Greek GOW) I'm so happy I found your channel. I found your channel when you first released the GOW Iceberg. Keep up the amazing work! I love hearing how passionate you are about the amazing game and series that is GOW! 🎉
As someone who skipped the PS2 and PS3 games, I really enjoyed GOW3. I played it after GOW4 and still found it very fun and it still holds up, something I cannot say for 90% of the ps3 era games.
Talking about one of the great games of All time for 69420 time again nice 👍 This is actually a very good semi review well done zesty I enjoyed every second
Can't believe I finished this game and missed this much. 2 was my favorite but now I'm not so sure. I really miss the old GOW, never been interested in the new gameplay style and never got the new ones. I clicked on this video with raised eyebrows but now, my mouth is stuck wide open. Considering the old collection now.
@@ExtremeGameplays1 Are you a fan of the reboot's new combat style? I know it's a matter of personal preference. Also, do you like the depiction of the new gods? I thought they looked too human lol.
God of War 3 in my opinion is the peak of action games. Everything from the music, the story, the gameplay, the visuals, all scream epic and satisfying. I enjoyed the Norse era games for they were but to me the series never got better than this.
Me personally I like Ascension more because of the boss fights and sliding around random stuff. Those little quick time events where you grappled an enemy and had to dodge and attack it were also legendary.
my mom got gow 3 for me when i got my ps3 years ago my 12 year old brain was instantly hooked, and my god the amount of times i watched that aphrodite scene for obvious reasons of course
5:14 for a third time technically if you count Chains of Olympus Also this was a pretty cool analysis of the combat design of the game and even the story of the game in general Also didn't notice how the scene of Kratos taking Hades's soul was like how Atlas lost his oof
About the circle thing: in the gow 2018, when kratos kills baldur, he says: „the circle ends here“. In gow2, when Zeus kills kratos at the beginning of the game, Zeus says the same to kratos. Just awesome
Gow3, will always have a special place in my heart, not for the reasons mentioned in the video though. When my dad first got me a ps4, he also bought a game in it for me to play, it was Gow3. My dad had given my 11 year old self a brutal game like gow3, so this game has a special place in my heart.
I only got to play the game this year, after being in my mind since my early teens but with not having a PS3, no way to play it. This year still no PS3, or 4 or 5, but emulation does the magic once more, sure the frame rate is all over the place, the graphics ain't as good, but My God if i loved the game. Combat is so fucking gorgeous, same goes for the envirioments, music is fantastic, and as you said, the full circle, the overwhelming finale feel the game shines on is just beautiful. Wish i could play it in 60 fps, but hey! I was raised on the LapTop 20 fps gaming, so it is no a big deal. So yeah God of War 3 better than sex
When i played this game when i was 7-8, i just amazed, of how good the graphic is and the combat system, in fact this is the only Game i had and i want in PS3, GOW3 is the reason i played and had a PS3, such a M A S T E R P I E C E.
One of the things gow3 did better than any game is sell the technical leap from the ps2 to the ps3. Even with ps4 and ps5 we dont get those WOW moments like we used to. Not to mention it was a game that didnt need to worry about diversity or cinematics or being offensive, it just did what it did and did it well 🔥
The first leap i remember was going to a parents friends house and seeing the first uncharted game, the wet leaves blew me away as i still only had the ps2
Cool video about gow 3 . I am a crazy kratos fan after a long time i just got to play original series again . Damn i just now finished gow 2 and got to watch this video . Yeah gow 3 is awesome ! But one thing i cant able to accept that its the best ever game in gow series . For me gow 2 is the best , in terms of story telling , gameplay and all together , gow 2 is the best and i wonder why no one is talking about that I wish people could start noting and talking about 2 .... it deserves much more love ...
I am not a big fan of God of War games (I am a DMC, Bayo, NG fan), but you make a strong case for why these games are fun to play. I think you glaze them a little too much; however, I really enjoy your passion talking about why you enjoy them so much! You will definitely influence more gamers to try the old series out. Maybe I should, too.
@@FirstPlace97 Most I can say to you is that you're missing out. I do have a question tho. This will determine in (my view) whether you're missing out on your favorites (DMC, BAYO, NG) as well. How is your play style? Is it combo focused? As in, combo mad stuff? Do you like to use attacks that deal heavy damage?
@@ExtremeGameplays1 I try to be as efficient as possible while also experimenting. I definitely like to be stylish when doing combos. I played the first GoW in 2005 but I didn't get into it for some reason. GoW always seemed to be more about big crowd control and less sophisticated combos than DMC, IMO. However, after playing GoW2018 and Ragnarok, I kind of wanted to play the originals that are more action focused. From your footage, it does seem like GoW has good variety and Kratos seems like a fun power trip. At some point I need to investigate the OG trilogy for myself.
@@FirstPlace97 It's not about combos tho. The more you focus on efficiency, the better. The og GoW trilogy shines in this aspect. It's not just combos. You will get good enough at some point to combo, but it's not the be all and all. There's a lot to scratch regarding the games you mentioned. They're deep and layered with gameplay depth. Do you do challenge runs? Those help BIG TIME in making you even more and more familiar with your favorite games.
@@ExtremeGameplays1 Ya I've beat all those games on the highest and I'm more than familiar with getting the S ranks, ha. Whenever they do a proper port of 1 and 2, I'll see about starting GoW from the beginning. Been wanting to play them ever since Ragnarok reminded me of how much better traditional action game design is. They look fun. I just never thought I'd need to get into the series since I had my DMC. I'm much more open into trying the rest of the genre. Action game fans are rare these days.

Coming from a guy who played gow 3 as a young kid
Its the weapons, bosses, story, and swiftness that makes it great
The amount of times I’ve replayed the final boss against Zeus
Shows how much I love this game too
THE BEST REVIEW I'VE EVER SEEN
the connection between the end of the great war and kratos killing cronos is a good note
I feel the same about gow1 as you feel about gow3 if i was a youtuber i would say .... Pandoras temple all the traps the challenges of the gods the power they gave you, the full circle you do in Pandora's temple with the skulls, the desert, the city, the under water, the under world , and the way you comeback from the under world.................
And coming full circle again in the end: " the gods of olympus have abandon me, now their is no hope ". "2005"

Ever since I was 4, my favorite games have been god of war 1 and 2. To this day, God of war 2 is still my favorite game, though I only like it more than 3 because of nostalgia. (The is much better and more fluid game. Best Greek GOW) I'm so happy I found your channel. I found your channel when you first released the GOW Iceberg. Keep up the amazing work! I love hearing how passionate you are about the amazing game and series that is GOW! 🎉
@@mr.quirkless3064 Gears iceberg by Zesty? That’s weird.
The glaze continues
It never stopped.
As someone who skipped the PS2 and PS3 games, I really enjoyed GOW3. I played it after GOW4 and still found it very fun and it still holds up, something I cannot say for 90% of the ps3 era games.
Talking about one of the great games of All time for 69420 time again nice 👍
This is actually a very good semi review well done zesty I enjoyed every second
I agree with the games pacing being amazing, I did finish it in one sitting of twelve hours when I first got it as a kid.
Can't believe I finished this game and missed this much. 2 was my favorite but now I'm not so sure. I really miss the old GOW, never been interested in the new gameplay style and never got the new ones. I clicked on this video with raised eyebrows but now, my mouth is stuck wide open. Considering the old collection now.
@@davedm1 Yup! I'm always happy when people figure out new things about the game.
@@ExtremeGameplays1 Are you a fan of the reboot's new combat style? I know it's a matter of personal preference. Also, do you like the depiction of the new gods? I thought they looked too human lol.
Guess who's back? Back again! Zesty's back! Tell a friend
God of War 3 in my opinion is the peak of action games. Everything from the music, the story, the gameplay, the visuals, all scream epic and satisfying. I enjoyed the Norse era games for they were but to me the series never got better than this.
I thought about you making a gow3 video earlier today and here it is..
Me personally I like Ascension more because of the boss fights and sliding around random stuff. Those little quick time events where you grappled an enemy and had to dodge and attack it were also legendary.
Me: This game can't get any better
*Zeus 2D boss fight*
Also me: Holy molly, this is the perfect game.
my mom got gow 3 for me when i got my ps3 years ago my 12 year old brain was instantly hooked, and my god the amount of times i watched that aphrodite scene for obvious reasons of course
Great video Zest I liked every moment of it
It’s pretty much almost perfect if not perfect
Wow well done, have more fun with the masterpiece of the all games, please speak about lost souls messages
5:14 for a third time technically if you count Chains of Olympus
Also this was a pretty cool analysis of the combat design of the game and even the story of the game in general
Also didn't notice how the scene of Kratos taking Hades's soul was like how Atlas lost his oof
The textures in this game are just insane. And it 60fps. All coming from an 18yr old console😮
About the circle thing: in the gow 2018, when kratos kills baldur, he says: „the circle ends here“. In gow2, when Zeus kills kratos at the beginning of the game, Zeus says the same to kratos. Just awesome
That video was fucking DOPE! The hype in zesty's voice is so noticeable to the point it made me blind 😮
God of war 3 is in my top 5 favourite games of all time!!!
Personally I believe God of War 2 is the best video game of all time but 3 is definitely a one of a kind.
This is my favourite go to game when I just wanna chill. Get video
Gow3, will always have a special place in my heart, not for the reasons mentioned in the video though. When my dad first got me a ps4, he also bought a game in it for me to play, it was Gow3. My dad had given my 11 year old self a brutal game like gow3, so this game has a special place in my heart.
played new GOW and i wasn't fan of how slow it was 50% in and i was thinking how much longer but GOW3 is just action action action loved it
For me gow 2 was the best game of all time ... the storyline the plot is what sets the story if gow 3
Blud lives in yapan
"Yapan"??😂😂😂
@@ExtremeGameplays1 Home of the Yapanese, yes.
I only got to play the game this year, after being in my mind since my early teens but with not having a PS3, no way to play it. This year still no PS3, or 4 or 5, but emulation does the magic once more, sure the frame rate is all over the place, the graphics ain't as good, but My God if i loved the game. Combat is so fucking gorgeous, same goes for the envirioments, music is fantastic, and as you said, the full circle, the overwhelming finale feel the game shines on is just beautiful. Wish i could play it in 60 fps, but hey! I was raised on the LapTop 20 fps gaming, so it is no a big deal.
So yeah God of War 3 better than sex
my personal fav is gow1 2005, although all three gow are my fav games of all time. Best game ever created, period!
Opinion accepted. Here’s my like 👍
"Ah shit, here we go again"
When i played this game when i was 7-8, i just amazed, of how good the graphic is and the combat system, in fact this is the only Game i had and i want in PS3, GOW3 is the reason i played and had a PS3, such a M A S T E R P I E C E.
Man I feel everything you have said in this video and I agree with you
I love Gow 3 too it's so peak
The og trilogy replay value was spot on across all the Games
I can't choose if gow 2 or 3 is my favorite of all time, i loved both of them alot.
I cant wait to play the PS5 god of war remasters/remake coming out i hope.
Beautiful job
One of the things gow3 did better than any game is sell the technical leap from the ps2 to the ps3. Even with ps4 and ps5 we dont get those WOW moments like we used to.
Not to mention it was a game that didnt need to worry about diversity or cinematics or being offensive, it just did what it did and did it well 🔥
This. It and MGS4 really felt like the next generation. I was there for GoW3, but not for MGS4. Playing MGS4 NOW feels new and futuristic.
The first leap i remember was going to a parents friends house and seeing the first uncharted game, the wet leaves blew me away as i still only had the ps2
Blow your alt right hate campaign bullshit out your ass dude, fuck you just sneaking in your dipshit politics to an otherwise unrelated comment.
Bro a 30 minute GOD OF WAR video by zesty, WE EATING GOOD 🔥
@@BLAZE..44. 30 min Gears video by Zesty, WHERE?
DAMN BRO I LOVE GOW 3 SO MUCH TOO BUT HOW DO YOU LOVE IT *THIS* MUCH!?!!?!
I agree but having unskippable cutscenes is a huge letdown
@@mogueraguh Yes. A critique of mine, too. Good thing we got manual saves to skip a lot of spots.
Yeah, on a 10th playthrough theres definitely a few I'd like to skip.
It's not my most favorite game, but it's my favorite God of War game :)
Cool video about gow 3 . I am a crazy kratos fan after a long time i just got to play original series again . Damn i just now finished gow 2 and got to watch this video . Yeah gow 3 is awesome !
But one thing i cant able to accept that its the best ever game in gow series .
For me gow 2 is the best , in terms of story telling , gameplay and all together , gow 2 is the best and i wonder why no one is talking about that
I wish people could start noting and talking about 2 .... it deserves much more love ...
Totally fine, dawg. It's the best game FOR me.
Erm flappy bird would like a word with you ☝️🤓-nah on a real note awesome vid as always Extreme
I am not a big fan of God of War games (I am a DMC, Bayo, NG fan), but you make a strong case for why these games are fun to play. I think you glaze them a little too much; however, I really enjoy your passion talking about why you enjoy them so much! You will definitely influence more gamers to try the old series out. Maybe I should, too.
@@FirstPlace97 Most I can say to you is that you're missing out.
I do have a question tho. This will determine in (my view) whether you're missing out on your favorites (DMC, BAYO, NG) as well.
How is your play style? Is it combo focused? As in, combo mad stuff?
Do you like to use attacks that deal heavy damage?
@@ExtremeGameplays1 I try to be as efficient as possible while also experimenting. I definitely like to be stylish when doing combos.
I played the first GoW in 2005 but I didn't get into it for some reason. GoW always seemed to be more about big crowd control and less sophisticated combos than DMC, IMO. However, after playing GoW2018 and Ragnarok, I kind of wanted to play the originals that are more action focused.
From your footage, it does seem like GoW has good variety and Kratos seems like a fun power trip. At some point I need to investigate the OG trilogy for myself.
@@FirstPlace97 It's not about combos tho. The more you focus on efficiency, the better. The og GoW trilogy shines in this aspect. It's not just combos. You will get good enough at some point to combo, but it's not the be all and all.
There's a lot to scratch regarding the games you mentioned. They're deep and layered with gameplay depth. Do you do challenge runs? Those help BIG TIME in making you even more and more familiar with your favorite games.
@@ExtremeGameplays1 Ya I've beat all those games on the highest and I'm more than familiar with getting the S ranks, ha.
Whenever they do a proper port of 1 and 2, I'll see about starting GoW from the beginning. Been wanting to play them ever since Ragnarok reminded me of how much better traditional action game design is.
They look fun. I just never thought I'd need to get into the series since I had my DMC. I'm much more open into trying the rest of the genre. Action game fans are rare these days.
