Nah, keep him around until TLOU 1 is made, as that was a good, if overrated, game.

After that, make something happen to get him kicked to the curb, so that TLOU 2 never happens.
You already got Bruce Straley for that. Him gone and Druckmann the sole writer is why Part 2 was the shit show it was. Naughty Dog would also still have Amy Hennig without Druckmann there to have kicked her out
 
I guess they thought, for some reason, that the emotional father/son scenes wouldn't work as well if he was an adult even though that would make more sense in terms of him going off on his own at the end.
I fucking hated the Angrboda parts. Game made the giants a bunch of Mary Sues
Also the fact that Fenrir and Jormungandr are so fucking irrelevant and barely in the game which is supposed to be depicting an event they both had top billing in, in the actual mythology, was fucking annoying. Also replacing Hel with an oversized bird.

I know its God of War and all and it's not known for its mythological accuracy but DAMN.
 
Tbh they could've had the Norse saga last longer than three games if they played it right

Even time warp to the Greek saga with more time fuckery
Well it was originally planned to last three games, then was cut down to two because they didn't want to be working on it for like a decade. The problem is that it really fucking shows in how rushed Ragnarok felt to most people other than it's most ardent defenders.

The event itself should have been it's own game, just like the events in Olympus were in the Greek series. As opposed to just one VERY BRIEF battle at the end of a game.
 
that would result to above planet level kratos, and we dont want that











It would be worth it, for a true gaming lad moment.

Though the resulting GOW wank afterward from the stans pushing for multiversal Kratos probably would've soured it.
 
well theres rhe fuck up if they did we would've gotten greatness
 
GOW 5 really should've been centered around building up to Ragnarok, with every piece being set in place. Would've been way better for development and pacing.

Also, if they're really whining about not wanting to be doing Norse saga for a decade, why couldn't Sony have created another branch for Santa Monica, with just as many devs, who are tasked to prioritize one game in the trilogy, while the other team handles the other, and make sure both teams correspond with the other, to make sure things remain consistent between games. That way, both could come out in 2022 and 2023 respectively.
 
Inevitable really since you had to have Kratos and Atreus take center stage against Thor and Odin just like it was with the Greek games where Kratos overshadowed other actual Greek heroes (before killing them). Atreus being Loki alone irreversibly fucked up the actual mythology enough that I’m just happy they found a way to include Fenrir and Jormungandr in some capacity at least.

Now, Hel not even being in the game despite her entire realm being there is inexcusable. I’m also low-key disappointed by how just in the first game alone, a lot of interesting Norse figures are already long killed off and only mentioned in lore too.
 
Still, pretty funny to think that the big bad Jormungandr of the present just sat on his scaly hide in Midgard all throughout the second game. The one that showed up for Ragnarok was the newly reborn one Atreus made that Thor sent back in time, restarting the loop.

 
And then Tyr, the actual Tyr this time at the end of the game.

The Norse equivalent of Ares and Kratos himself, and he’s a yoga-practicing hipster.

a series which tops at multi continental levels, somehow they find ways to headcanon it to universal levels, on vsbw or on youtube

amazing how much the headcanon has evolved
 
also, sony does something quite stupid, despite porting their games later on pc, they want to farm them first on ps5, i get it, but they dont realize, that pc has more users and the quality that can be generated is even greater, in a way, they dumb down themselves, mah ps5 exclusives and all, lmao

in japan, they dont like the pc ports that much, thats why square enix has a rep of making meh/mid pc ports of games of them, but the fans later fix them with patches, lmao
