1:23:00 hes right though, I don't think people choose to see the gravitas and just genuine evil of what Kratos has done. Because they play as him, he can do no wrong, because they then see themselves as wrong. Should Kratos be above critisizm, i think the devs were trying to make people actually thnk about what Kratos has done, instead of endlessly seeing him as correct because you yourself are him. But it doesn't seem to be working with anyone sadly.
@@AlexisTheDragon People know the monster Kratos was in the Greek games and that as much as he was justified in hating the Olympians it didn't excuse him killing innocents and destroying Greece on his way to them. So I don't know where you're getting the idea that people think he's a saint because they play as him. A big part of the Norse games has been him living with the guilt and trying to redeem himself.
Athenian soldier: Gods on high, get me out of here!! Save me from this mad barbarian!! Please, PLEASE!!! Mimir: Brother! Get me out of here!! Please, PLEASE
Absolutely unreal the level of quality and quantity in something for free. Especially the rewards you get to use in New Game Plus. What a gift right before Christmas.
Yes! I was waiting for when you were going to play this! I'm excited to experience this game all over again with you! All the callbacks in this episode from the Greek architecture, Helios, the old music, and the Blade of Olympus. Love it!
This playthrough never fails to remind me why I love your GOW series, it always brings me joy watching your understand and empathize with the characters! Also did you notice that when you head to the Three Judges in Niflhiem the music changes and becomes a little more similar to the OG games
I need to watch your old GoW trilogy playthrough but I appreciate that you played the old games to truly understand the Kratos of the new ones. Him returning to his memories and you sharing that, means a lot when witnessed.
Ah the return of pots and pans and triangle triangle triangle, or in this case R2 R2 R2 lol I literally teared up seeing the Blade of Olympus again and the music that played, it sounded like a mix of Vengeful Spartan from the Greek saga and the main God of War theme from God of War 2018 and Ragnarok. I think this first flashback with Helios was from God of War 1 in the Temple of Pandora where you have to sacrifice an Athenian soldier to progress. And then it turning into it being Mimir was terrifying. I love this so far.
I can't wait to play GOWRV next month. Used up too much of my HotSpot and didn’t have enough for the DLC which I thank to god is the size it is. ^^ Have been watching people play GOWRV. Interesting to see people's reactions. So it looks like Valhalla has 2 separate punishments. One punishment for those who can be there but force/breach their way in. Left weakened and will eventually be defeated by enemies wirh no hope of beating. The other pushimenent is for those who aren't allowed in at all yet force/breach their way in. It looks like a body part will be set on fire. For Sigrun it was her wings.
could we see other old weapons in future DLC like this, the Nemean claws in another arena story, or The Claws of Hades in a more in depth exploration of the Norse Underworld
I hope that this is really good as the trailers show it and I know it will be a a great DLC to God of War Ragnarok with GOWR: Valhalla Thanks Meg. 🎵🎶🎼⚔️🛡️⚔️🎼🎶🎵
I'm nearly done watching the video. I have to say it's very nice to see someone who really knows the history of the games playing this. I am looking forward to more. You're awesome.
I think you should focus on the story and not the difficulty, because this dlc focuses more with it's story and not it's gameplay, because the gameplay was so familiar, so I suggest you do the lowest difficulty and just enjoy the story.
Helios head squish reaction! :D ruclips.net/video/XN9UoRU9A5Q/видео.html
Seems more like a pull ngl.

i love that this dlc has a story part as well, instead of being just a fun gameplay loop thingy
Erm, its a roguelike.....

Seeing you light up when they start to speak to each other reminds me why I love your channel.
Loved the music when he conjured the Blade of Olympus👌
Huge Fan of your God of War videos

i love the line "reserve our talks for safe paces"
Best DLC ever!! Great to see you back on GOW play through!

Nice to see you playing god of war again. This dlc has some great moments which I can't wait to see you react to.
I listen to the band ‘the doors’ when I play this 😉 you did great in battle Meg!

I really thought Mimir was gonna die, my heart was breaking when he was in the cage
20:26 - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No spoilers but the ending of this DLC will make you shed a tear or many. A true love letter to the God Of War Community.
They made this masterpiece free Respect

with GOWR: Valhalla Thanks Meg.

Since the actual Helios is dead Valhalla's Helios is Kratos criticising and doubting himself.
She's started it🫣
14:14 you forgot they lived together?
I didn't think they still did looooooooooool
@@MegMage where else would a severed head live at? Lolololol
Balade of chaossssssssssssss
Yeah there's some juice to this
Hi Meg, hope you have been doing well! I haven't seen too much of this game, so I think we're all in for a ride!
I'm nearly done watching the video. I have to say it's very nice to see someone who really knows the history of the games playing this. I am looking forward to more. You're awesome.
@@stephenp4285 Watching the DLC without knowing the base game story?
@@Notmeggii I have seen the Ragnarok story.
@@stephenp4285 I mean, you just said "I haven't seen too much of this game.."
Love you Meg your so pretty
This is free because Santa Monica wants to give back to their fans.
I think you should focus on the story and not the difficulty, because this dlc focuses more with it's story and not it's gameplay, because the gameplay was so familiar, so I suggest you do the lowest difficulty and just enjoy the story.
Megmage here soon you should play the fable games
The further you get into this dlc it’s gonna really test yo and punish you I mean straight up Dark Souls difficulty.
Good thing I'm playing Elden Ring off stream 🤣🤣 I'm ready
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
