What's your favorite GoW game? You can't say 4 yet.
Oof
gameranx *oof*

Isint acesion 4
Definitely God of War 2.
Still remember playing the first God of War at my then best friends house. Ahhhh middle school memories...
Still remember fucking my best friends mom at his house in their bathroom. Ahhhh elementary school memories...
Sea Level Cain wtf
Same remember rushin home from jr high and glueing myself to it ignoring all my phones phone calls for like a week
Sea Level Cain Hahahahaha
Dragon Ball Black I played this when i was god of war 1 when i was like 5
God of War 3 blew my fricking mind back in 2010. I waited so much after that cliffhanger and the intro of GOW 3 is insanely awesome and was the example to show off PS3 capabilities. You start the game and kill Poseidon, and you kill almost all of the gods along the game like holy shit how good is that?
Juan Amaya
Yeah, God of War 3 was amazing. The only thing I didn’t like was the repetitive world design. God of War 2 had the best world design in the series... so far! But as an overall game, God of War 3 was better!
Remastered looks amazing too
Mr305Maxxx
True! However, I’ll wait until the Pro goes on sale for $250-$300. My brother just got one and the improved frame rate is what got me, but if you don’t have a 4K tv, it’s not really worth buying at full price.
Mr305Maxxx TLOU is a great game but GOW is beyond epicness.
God of war 3 was nice...but dude the game that stole my heart was gow2..man that game ...that story...everything was fabulous ...gow3 nodoubt was graphically better ...story wise ..gameplay wise i still like gow2 idk why...that end of gow 2....with kratos on the back of gaya ....awesome eagerly waiting for gow4 !!...peace
To me, Kratos is the ULTIMATE Alpha Male of video games. The perferct anti-hero.
So badass.
opinions
Panda Xkills he holds the title belt in that category.
facts
Mario is better
notdeepee Mario? lol, wtf kind of drugs are you on?
I literally finished binge playing through the WHOLE franchise with PlayStation Now and my *god* the timing is unreal!
Did we just become best friends?!
It works well with Playstation Now ? Cause i might give that a try myself then.
Soris Yes but it mainly works only with Wired Internet than wirelessly. Requires good connection.
Steven Santos I'll try it then, my connection should be fine.
Same!!! Just finished Ascension like 30 min ago!
Steven Santos YEP!
Single player games are dead huh? Kratos begs to differ.
linear ones are dying but singleplayer in general is here to stay
God of War III was the first time I saw boobs in a video game....
You could imagine I had some very shameful memories with that game
I was 7 when I saw them I was the fuck are those
Lol was playing gow 1 infeont of my family tv and I ddnt knew it had boobs thnk god there was power cut 😂😂😂
Devilz3 That's hilarious. So lucky.
Stephen Sawyer if you were older you'd see that ages before
Share us one memory 😂
Gameranx: It's heavy on combat and combo
Me: Square, Square, Triangle
hold triangle, x, l1+square, circle, l1+square, circle, l1+triangle, l2 for some area effect magic
Apparently nobody here played them on Titan difficulty
Chris Rundall i did. I have plantinum trophy on all of them
Ok here's the thing, I've played Ghost of Sparta and Ninja Gaiden 3 continuously over the course of a week and I got bored of NG3 first, also make note that I had been playing GOS for like a year prior, oh still not bored of GOS actually, speaking of hack-and-slash, Deadpool isn't really a bad game either in terms of gameplay
L1 + Square
Gotta be one of my fav game series.. ps2 was amazing.. but ghost of sparta and chains of olympus portable took up all my time for a long time! When it hit ps3.. the graphics blew me away! Can't wait for the new one next year
Blew you away? Ok I guess you didn't play very many games if the psp games on ps3 blew you away haha.
PCGaming i got to know the series on the psp...really enjoyed the game.
@Andrew Hooven
I meant when God of War hit ps3 for the first time with a new release of GoW3
PCGaming oh I thought you meant when they put the PSP games on the PS3 haha yeah they were insane when it came out
I'm surprised gameranx didn't mention about the adult part of GoW man those were the real challenge
Oh aphrodiety !!!
Adult part of GoW?
You mean like EVERYTHING?
The music of series is just SO Good! It always gets me when I hear Kratos's theme and him get mad. You kno ish going DOWN!!!
Who else is so excited for the next god of war
Little Manka me even tho I don't have a ps4
no completely different game. they are changing alot, I can tell just by looking.
Me
I'm looking forward to it
DisgruntledCommenter you don’t have to, but it might be nice to know a little bit about the story. I have a feeling they’ll tie it to the older games somehow, but I honestly have NO clue. Maybe not pay the games, but at least watch some other videos on the story of god of war, like the one by ArcadeCloud or just watch full playthroughs of the game. It’s a great series that deserves a watch for a possible better experience in the new one :)
God of War Is the reason I am playstation fan.Hype Is real.03/22/2018.
I get impressed easily I guess but the last boss in this video's knee was moving based on how Kratos hit it. That's a cool detail to me
I was literally just thinking about that detail lol
I didn't notice at first but I like little details like that too
i can’t wait for the new one, honestly, i’m so glad they’re trying something different
Why? Isn't Greece and Greek mythology interesting and inspiring?
Mr. Sadist yeah it is, when i said that i didn’t mean that it’s, there’s just a lot of god of wars about greek mythology, also i grew up in Greece i love greek mythology, i’m just saying that cause Kratos killed all of the greek gods and i find it cool that they’re moving on, also Norse mythology is really cool too. there’s like 7 god of war games and it’s just cool they’re trying something new
God of War was so badass even my grandma played it with me all the way through. Good times.
Then your grandmother must be one badass grandmother
She's the best I know.
please call God of War 4 by its real name "Dad of War"
Finally someone understands the true meaning of the title
wow so funny ha ha ha ha
How about "Dad of War on Sedatives"? ; ) What a pity Sony wont go for Kratos who has a young, say, 20 year old, MALE lover who lives with him, and whom Kratos teaches, the way erastes would teach eromenos in ancient Greece, and with whom he works until.... that'd be something. Just imagine the controversy.
Do you mean dad of boy?
The thing I'm looking forward to the most is how the upcoming god of war game is going to be one continuous shot without any cuts. Seems like it would be really immersive
Well, except for when you die in the game...
Bufudyne ZERO DEATHS
Syed Taimoor that would be a challenge and it would also be epic
honestly exclusives are the selling point for consoles, so nah...personally I prefer GoW on PS so yeah....
Syed Taimoor it didn't, sorry. But still, the game was awesome
I 100% every single God of war game. An amazing series
Ludens which would you recommend the most
ImAnarwhale !!! 2 and 3
That's not really an accomplishment, Gow series is not made with challenge in mind. It's designed to be made to keep progressing and continue the story. It supposed to be make casuals feel like a bad ass, and FWIW..SM Studios did an incredible job of that.
I'm still calling the new game Dad of War.
Or God of Fatherhood
Tyrant I hat the new God of war
Tyrant You do that.
You call it so mockingly?
God of FOUR.
God of War III is my favorite. It's 7 years old and the graphics rival that of games today. Now that it's remastered on PS4, the gameplay is even more fluid. All the boss battles are epic. The soundtrack is beautifully barbaric with those pounding drums and blasting horns. The plot is decent, but the symbolism of the certain evils inside each god was clever. It's just a masterfully crafted piece of art.
Part 3? Extremely kitch. And the gameplay not even half as enjoyable as in the original. The Hades cutscene is quite disturbing, though.
I disagree. I think the gameplay is just as enjoyable as the original. That one puzzle in Hera's garden, for example, where it shifted your view from perspective to orthographic was genius and highly entertaining to solve, despite the amount of time that might have been consumed. The Labyrinth was also a really cool level design, platforming through giant boxes and putting the pieces slowly together. I admit, there are some frustrating parts with certain enemies on certain levels, especially on higher difficulties, but I don't think it detracted from the gameplay experience too much.
I also disagree. GoW1 and GoW3 differ a lot. Some of the puzzels in GoW3 are interesting but overall it was a mega letdown. Level design alone does not make a game.
Right, which is why I used them as examples and not merely the sole purpose why I liked GoW 3 over GoW 1. To further reinforce why I enjoyed the game, I found more uses for the weapons in GoW 3, both in combat and level progression. I found it easier to juggle enemies with certain combos with the blades of exile as opposed to the blades of chaos. As far as magic abilities go, I will say GoW 1 had better abilities, especially the souls of Hades. I found more of the music in Gow 3 to be memorable as well, such as this one segment in Revenge Falling, Anthem of the Dead, and especially the March of Tartarus. So well composed and the mood of the music fit the scene and situation you were in. I enjoyed the voice acting in GoW 3 as well. Kratos sounded more rough, Zeus sounded more like his age, I also kinda liked Athena's voice more in Gow 3 as well. Gow 3 did use some elements of sentimentality here and there, but I didn't hink it was so much as to consider it kitsch.
More uses for weapons is not something I would care much about. To me the story, the visual side and the way playing the game feels like are far more important elements. I want the story to be believable and interesting, I want the visuals to be stunning and inspiring I want gameplay to be great. I want to think about the game when Im not playing it. And not regret spending money on it. GoW III is not like that. The additional stuff they added to the special edition is embarassing even after 8 years. What's worse, GoW III also completely lacks the peculiar rigidness of the original. Kitch is dominant and overwhelming. Characters look small on the screen. Many of their attacks look particularly inconvincing. Athena? A very awkward design. It just looks bad. BTW. Have you noticed any difference in the way the Blades of Chaos / Exile feel used? Just curious.
my absolute favorite series in gaming history. I love you guys. mt favourite is god of war 2
It's still quite good. How about a Theseus battle challenge? ; )
I'm just hoping they explain how Kratos survived the ending events of God Of War 3
Claudegiroux 28 Hades was dead so he probably had nowhere to go when he died. Or maybe he just got bored of hell and crawled out again
Odin brought him back.
Kyle pretty much explained it, for Kratos, if he's killed he ends up in a physical place, Tartarus, which he can simply fight his way out of, making Kratos pretty much immortal, and since Hades is dead, it's extremely easy now
Jargon Madjin Plus he fucking has HADES SOUL. He's essentially the god of the underworld now. Or did he loose that when he fought zeus?
I'm sure they're going to explain it once the new god of war game is out
God of War was the first adult game I ever played my mom bought it for herself she couldn't play it cuz she sucked at it so she let me try and I was awesome I couldn't put the game down and that's how I became a gamer
The best video game series ever known to mankind.
You’re not a god if your name isn’t Kratos
The Duke Of NoWhere 😂😂
Your Lord and Savior - Balrog he's not a god. He's a god killer.
Give me a rifle i'll take out that MF for you. god or not
Your Lord and Savior - Balrog lol true
God of war is what made me a gamer...
I love em all. They are just amazing.
God of war ✊
Yeah. God of War 1! But I dont know what this new shit is.
Next better be evelution of Knack
GOAT
Too complex. Something like that would take years to make... we’re talking final fantasy XV development time here. Plus I’d rather not know something like that would one day see the light of day, because the wait would be dreadful. We can only hope.
Knack I: Classic
Knack II: Masterpiece
There’s your evolution.
Knack 2 Baby!!!!!!!!
JimMcnugget mispelling included?
Came back after God of War 4 was released, it's a full on masterpiece. Everything Falcon predicted at the end came true. Not only the best God of War game, but most people (critics and fans) are calling it one of the best games ever made.
Now you have to make a video about Prince Of Persia!
Xinosaur YES PLEASE
agree !
I love how you go more places in this game.for alot of the god of war titled you stay more or less in one area. Or you go to like 3 different areas and stay there for long. From the looks of the trailer Kratos is going places and I hope it's true because that will be a really fun aspect of the game.
Just imagine an open-world free-roam God of War game, that would be pretty sweet
I think it would lose something if they did that. It would be cool but not god of war.semin open world would be cool.
I love the mask you used for the thumbnails and and" I'M THE GOD OF WAR NO ONE SHALL DEFY ME"
God of War, Dante's Inferno and San Andreas were the reasons why my mom didn't wanted to buy me a PS2 lol
You're both wrong. Dante's Inferno is on both PS3, 360, and maybe PC? I should know, I have it on PS3.
He probably meant DMC, I still have my PS2 stashed away somewhere, lol
Hey, a real parent doing parenting things instead of caving in and letting their brats have their way as long as the kids shut up and stay out of sight.
the intro to god of war 3 is like a playable trailer
One of the must have games for the PS2 was GoD of War and God of War 2 , actually I should have said two of the must have games .
Thank You, Falcon. I thought I was the only one excited for this game. I've been loving this series since it first came out and I cannot wait to playthrough the entire game in one shot.
3 life lessons from GoW 1 to 3 we should take to heart :
1. Dont Fck with Kratos !
2. Dont Fck with Kratos !!
3. Dont Fck with Kratos !!!
This is by far Gameranx best video.
Oooh yes, my most favourite videogame franchise, H E R E W E G O!
I'm happily going to pull out my PS3 that's been in the cupboard for years, just to play through the God of War series again, and I can't wait for it.
Hoping to see an apology for ripping this video from Suggestive Gaming’s “What You Need To Know” without crediting the original creators.
This one is more entertaining, and besides now at least it will be seen by people. Those geeks should be flattered, not trying to stir up controversy for more clicks.
ManBitesDog The original video has more views than this copy so needing views isn’t the issue, if someone stole your work and displayed it as their own you’d be rightly annoyed.
Been playing God of War since it first came out, can't wait for the new one to come out
I fucking love this series. I think my ps4 will.die soon. But I will buy a pro just for New God of War.
I always make sure to check that there's a gameranx review of a game, and base my decision off of that to buy a game. I am retro actively playing PS4 hit games and I am so glad for this God Of War story, I am just about to play the PS4 installments, and was searching for a review.
GoW 4 makes me want to get a PS4 even though I'm rockin a 1080.
Same dude. I hope they make a kratos edition PS4 next year on its release!
it was $200 or less on Black Friday
N.Sane Trilogy and GOW4 are like the only reasons I'm getting a PS4 as for XboxOne, absolutely no reasons so it's the PS4 for the win
Falcon, I hope you edited this intro. Love your intro's, mids and 3rd acts.
The intro was dope.
Thanks
"Hey Kratos, what are you gonna do now that you became a god and killed every other greek god?"
"I hear Thor thinks hes a bad ass...."
Is falcon a person or a bird or a bot?
Falcon is a majestic Bird Person, with bot-like features.
Robotic birdman.
I literally just bought a PS4 just for this game. Played all series on PS2 and PS3 and can't wait for this GOW. Including the last of us 2
best hack & slash game ever
Except Ninja Gaiden (2004) says hello. It's the definitive rival.
Yeah, let's clarify it better. GoW is the best casual h/s game. Dark Souls/Ninja Gaiden/DMC/Nier Automata are by far better h/s games. GoW visuals and budget is obviously bigger, so it reaches for a wider audience.
Nothing will beat God of War and the fight against Ares. One of my favourite boss battles of all time.
Ok kinda looking forward to the new god of war game kinda.....it blows how they changed the voice
actor though Terrence C. Carson you will be missed 😢
Poka Dot sometimes it's needed Kratos is quite old now and the voice should reflect that
Dude they still got Christopher Judge, he was Teal'c from Stargate SG-1
I love these evoulution videos :)
New GOD OF WAR = GOTY 2018
Now this is something that I've been waiting for!
just bought ps4 pro for god of war
great you got me hyped. now i have to go back and replay them all!
The early comments are always trash.
Counting you?
I remember when I was 6 or 7 years old and I saw my dad playing God of War 1 on his ps2. I had asked to give it a shot ( I grew up on video games so I knew what I was doing in most games for the most part ) and he willingly let me play and I played the game for hours on end getting really far into the story and falling in love with it. This was the third video game I have played and still remains one of my favorite series of all time.
God of war 2 because thats when it starts getting good
God of War was good from begining.God of War 1(2005) won game of the year award.
Awesome video. Love the series
I wish Sony would remaster the first 2 GoW games for the PS4.
A REMAKE of the first 2 gow would be huge!
If it happens the graphics would look like shit. You will have to fix a lot of things to make it look decent enough on a much more powerful console. But I have the Remasterd version on my Ps3 so I'm good.
I wish they stopped remastering games and actually focus on developing actual games. I’m tired of silly CGI or controlled tech demos with no date on sight.
God of War 3.
Still to this day whenever I see all of the gods standing together in the beginning and as they descend one by one, it gives me goosebumps!
Never understand why the god of war series gets the hate it does. Swear more than several times I've heard people say it started quick time events. Makes me giggle.
QTEs have been around way longer than GOW so those people are kidding themselves
My favourite video in a while
thirteen games? you are drunk
Yeah, it's like 7 games with Dad of War.
Can't really pick a favorite god of war game! Love ALL OF THEM and can't wait for the new one 😍❤
I personally was never a huge GoW fan. I was more a fan of Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry.
fuck yes dantes inferno and Devil May Cry 1. Brilliant games.
Sadly, Dante's Inferno didn't sell too much, as GoW did it. And probably we never see a second part.
We're also getting a Devil May Cry 5 :)
Those are far better games than any God of War game could aspire to be, so I get that. God of War's combat system offers nothing to high-level players, unlike Devil May Cry's Stylish mechanic and Ninja Gaiden's lightning-fast gameplay.
In terms of game play i agree Ninja Gaiden and DMC are both better (which is maybe why they are trying a different system now) however in terms of feel, aesthetics and story GoW is way ahead.
The first GoW for me is on PSP all the years back and I was stunned by it, like I've never seen anything with such excellent graphics and cinematic on a handheld. That's how I fell in love with the series.
The fourth God of War game is God of 4.
Pranav Rao, God of War, God of Four, do you really not see the connection?
The irony if they included Thor in GOW4, ya know 'cause Norse mythos is in GOW4, lol
First time seeing this I was in the 4th Grade and my step dad got this as a demo on a PlayStation Underground disc (for us old heads). Two months later...I see this game in its entirety and I was hooked. Hands down my favorite gaming franchise of all time beside another GOW (Gears of War)
My favorite??
GOW 2 but GOW 3 was the culmination of everything Kratos’ and my journey to destroy the family that cursed him...beating Zeus’ face is was the perfect ending to our conquest.
Please make it available on Pc 😣
Funny joke mate
bag to sony
PECZi emulators... done
good luck emulating god of war 3
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
My boyfriend is forcing me to watch a series of videos about the God of War franchise. The new one looks pretty interesting, can’t wait to watch him twitch stream it while he plays it tonight. Love you boo😚💙
This video is almost certainly stolen from a small RUclipsr.
sirprintalot cool
Still own all of them for my ps3 and can't wait for the new 1 :)
Bet it's open world with skill trees zzz
Anderson Aldo I wish
It ain't going to happen if I'm not mistaken they said so themselves.
I actually wouldn't mind an open-world GOW, that would be pretty cool
Jargon Madjin Like 99% of games on the market right now
My first game was god of war and my favorite is all of them can't wait for 4
I love these kind of videos!
After years of nagging by a friend of mine, I finally sat down and played through the entire series in release order back-to-back this year. Boy was that fun! What a great series!
The one when you literally beat Zeus to death with Kratos’s bare hands at the end... So epic!
The Man,
The Myth,
The Legend,
Falcon at Gameranx
My favorite God of War is 2. I really like all of them. Id say 3 is a really close second place in my heart. So pumped for God of War 4 I clicked right away on the video!!
He isn't a servant at first.
He's a Spartan general who asked Ares to help him win the important battle and became his slave.
Such a coincidence, I started a new save file on my ps2 memory card for the first God of War and played the first couple hours. So many memories with that game.
*SQUARE SQUARE TRIANGLE* best combo there is and will ever be.
GOW3 and Ghost Of Sparta are my favs but this series in general is just my all time fav series of games I love every single entry
0:41 Price OF Persia-The two Thrones!!!!!
I love all god of war games and cool video and best channel
I remember receiving a God of War demo disc at my local EB. I was blown away by it and pre ordered it the very next day. Good times!
Damn it you've made me go back and now I'm screaming at the screen. 😂😂
When you have the power to destroyed a GOD yet cannot destroyed a gate, you know this game is gonna be interesting. I mean seriously God of War is my childhood and i love it.
obviously an ad for GoW and yet you (the person speaking) always make those videos interesting.
Falcon I wholeheartedly agree with you on the entirety of gow. 3 is my favorite but oh man 4 is looking really good can't wait!
I love the sheer weight that comes across in the new God of War. Weapons feel heavy. The enemies have weight. It really makes me excited to play it.
chains of Olympus on PSP was my first GOW game, and ever since then I've been hooked to the series
Love the god of war series, big fan since the first God of War, Looking forward to the new one!
Gow 3 opening level killing Poseidon is one hell of an introduction to the series
