Girrrrlll
BOI!
You mean, Boi!
ok
just wanna say I really appreciate the reflection of the girlfriend reviews logo that shows up in the water.
Raz! Great to see you here
WHERE IS IT?
*in batman voice*
I honestly wouldn't have noticed if it werent for your comment.
Great little touch and attention to detail. Something that they didnt have to take the time to do but did it anyways because it looks jjst a little bit better like that.
@@erfan6116 around 1:40
Dang, I wouldn’t have noticed it but it’s amazing!
Bf: there’s buckets here somewhere...
Shelby: bucket? More like f%ck it, let’s move on 😂
HAHA. That was amazing. I love their reviews but for some reason this is the one I have laughed at the most.
@himura kenshin nice
@himura kenshin That's what they meant by "Eternal"
The editing on this channel is just out of this world. Definitely one of - if not THE - best videogame channel on YT ;)
Thank you!
@@GirlfriendReviews Hi, Matt. Would you consider doing a Skillshare class in video editing?

Eventually Shelby's Dunkey impression is gonna get so accurate the universe will implode on its self.
At 1:24, shes getting really good at it
she will literally become black and be more dunkey than dunkey
@@fruitxyikes260 except Dunkey is white
I was shook. Literally thought Dunkey be possessing people now...😆
The universe will implode and a new God will be born.
For a moment Shelby sounded like she had the world record of bowser's big bean burrito
More shelby
It was as if she was wearing a blindfold and her little brother was playing the game
@@glendarjj3991 with an unplugged USB steering wheel
Shelby is the first Strand type girlfriend
Its almost like she's hyped for Knack 3
"OPEN THE DOOOORRRR"
"This is no ordinary illness."
You guys are hilarious, keep up the awesome work!
I'm rolling 🤣
I laughed my ass off at 5am in the morning 😂😂😂
I lost it and shared it for that reason 🤣
I laughed so hard at this
I nearly choked on my food.
We need to talk about how Shelby is complaining about the grinding for that fight being Booooooooooooooooring to her, then being waken up for the fight AND YET she screams in support and real happiness for his boy when he becomes the victor. Beautiful. Also, its so weird to realize I’ve been here even before 10k suscribers. Holy shite guys, I’m so glad for you! Hope you continue growing like crazy, you deserve it.
This is the only channel I've ever followed from the first video and I regret nothing. So wholesome, so entertaining, so hilarious and so fun, love these two beautiful people and their reviews
She don't like the boring parts, she do like the exciting parts... seems to make the sense.
For her boy, but also the story, triumph, and visuals itself, etc.
One day the entire Girlfriend Reviews script will just be read by Dunkey pretending to be Shelby as a switcheroo
Now I want this
This would be a good April Fools Joke
@@DannoHung In mid July just to make it all the more unexpected
Maybe dunkey has actually been shelby all along. He is so good a impersonations we could never tell
@@glendarjj3991 If M. Night Shyamalan directed Girlfriend Reviews
I hate and love how relatable is the boyfriend descend into madness with the valkyrie queen, because i've lived that too and it's just... Nostalgic and painful
One of the few times my wife has had to witness me genuinely rage at a game
It was so rage inducing the first time but now I see Sigrun as an old friend because whenever I have a hankering for some god of war I load up my save file from right before I beat her and just fight her over and over again
What did this world do to you .... !
I don’t know. It’s just so satisfying to be able to load up the game and stomp the final boss within five tries
" with in 5 tries " , you sire has earned my respect through blood n sweat
Honestly, the Valk Queen is one of the best boss battles I've experienced.
Its one of those few times that, after upgrading all my gear to the best stuff in the game,
I walk away from a boss fight thinking "wow, I actually needed all those upgrades"
yeah init, one change of my armor changed the whole fight
The command grabs are still bullshit
Maybe I just needed to play it on give me gow difficulty, or I upgraded my armour too much but... Is it normal to beat sigrun on your very first attempt? It was still close but I thought I would die a whole bunch of times
@@bLuGhOsT_ it depends on what your difficulty is, because from a certain difficulty, the gear never makes it too easy.

9:03 can I just say that was some fantastic voice acting? Holy shit, what a performance.
“this is no ordinary illness” I can’t 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, yes you can!
He is a gameaholic. A time consuming illness indeed
i choked so hard on that part
"Buckets? More like f*ck it let's move on" is now my life motto
Everyone's reaction to when people are *still* doing the ice bucket challenge
1:26 “Gawd of War is a measterpiece” 💀😂
Sigrun was a nightmare compared to the rest of the valkyries, it was like all of them were combined together to equal the most annoying and hardest fight in all of GOW
In all of GoW? I've heard people refer to Sigrun as the hardest boss they've *ever* encountered out of any game! 😂😭
Yes, it was tough as Helheim. The only other game boss that was similarly hard to beat was the Frog Lord in HOUSE, but that was more annoying because you had to replay the entire day every single time.
What difficulty were yall playing on genuine question
I just played it my first time this week on the second hardest difficulty.. I didn't seem to have any problems with her at all
@@jasonking7570 lol no it wasn't. The game literally trains you by showing you ALL the patterns of the valkyries before you get to her. If anything, she's the easiest of them because you already know every move she's gonna do.
Radec on the hardest difficulty however... or grenades in WAW Veteran.
Maybe Hollow Knight True end. Godmaster to beat Absolute Radiance.
"Lots of reviewers are casual gamers..."
IGN felt that😏
Pretty sure it was Polygon they were ribbing in the clip
@@NickHunter that was the example they showed, yes, but I believe the dig applied to all the igns, polygons, and gamspots of the world lol
Or they are annoying modern gamers
@@ULTRAOutdoorsman the chains... Climbing the god damn chains... And just climbing in general was unbearable in god of war. Like christ almighty why is it so. So. Slow. Every action you take in this game is soooo sloooowwwwww. I camt stand that. It drags and drags and drags out what's really only like 5 hours of actual.gameplay and combat, out to like 15.
With the millions of well informed, lifetime video gamers, you would think at least one of them would work at IGN. IGN seems to be run by the same people who write for stuff like people magazine and never played a game in their life. I'm pretty sure they review games based off the trailer alone, never actually play it.
Shelby: "Before we get to see God of War reach its climax"
*Shows Freya getting choked*
Fellow people of culture I see
I doubt that was an accident.
and by her son no less lol
Timestamp?
@@Aryan-kl1ls 5:13
“Yeaahhhhhhh Big Snake!!!!!” 😂
The editing, the humor and how they're riffing off each other... maan i really envy their synergy, how well do they fit each other.
HAHAHA Kratos desperately yelling “OPEN THE DOOR!!!” Carrying a new TV. God of War 2018 truely is a masterpiece. Well done Cory Barlog!
We just gonna ignore those smooth af cuts in the valk part
The finishing move staying the same but the background changing was something else
Matt's editing is ridiculously good
Where was it
@@COOLPEAK 3:54
500 likes lol
Nobody is talking about that animated video of them in intro... Where shelby is also playing game. That's cute ❤️
Edit: Thank you for likes. I didn’t think I would get so much love for this comment. 😇
Very well animated
I know right?! That's so good! Who made that?! I love it!
I need the wallpaper engine for that
God I wish I had a life like that
@@princessthyemis It's their waiting screen for their Twitch channel! it's the cutest!!
A Tenacious D reference, well, this channel needs an award for the most wholesome reference
4:42 editing is _perfect_
I still hear “This is your dead mom” every time I hear GOW’s Funeral song
*'AND WE'RE GONNA BURN HER'*
Shelby doing Freya's monologue: 10/10.
i lol'd so hard lmao
Love that evil backsound
6:14 "Bucket, more like f*** it."
😂😂😂
"The economy of the game is broken because I have way more money than I could ever spend." So this game is a Jeff Bezos simulator.
Bald and rich huh makes sense
No you actually had to work for that cash
@@jmurray1110 Amazon started as a book reseller in his garage. Goon
@@samuelrichards5521 and how much if said work did below actual do
And how much did he do when it started expanding and how much work does he do on the factory floor now
Could it be that he hired people to work and took a large percentage of their money because he owned the facility and machinery without actually contributing any labour
And could it be that he is actively denying the workers proper pay, compensation, benefits, piss breaks and general respect I’m order to ensure he keeps getting richer
And could it be that he’s responsible for scabs and union buster efforts to prevent his workers getting what they deserve because that would eat at his paycheck and despite making thousands a second he still insists of having an ever increasing salary and bonus each year
But he sold a couple books decades ago so it’s all fine though lazy workers need to take a page out of uncle bezo’s book and get off those food stamps and pull themselves up by their bootstraps
Yeah that’s the right course of action
@@alexlinotte9316being bald makes you rich by 10x
It’s sort of ironic how that, while pace breakers, the side quests and optional objectives are pretty fun to do as players, while very boring to watch as a bystander.
I think what is considered a pacebreaker is really an individual taste sort of thing. A player deciding to do some side quests will return to the main quest when they feel ready to do so, setting their own pace. Having an audience means that everyone has a different preferred pace and it can be frustrating when they want to keep a quicker pace than the person playing.
@@effortlessfury I could never have anyone watch me game, one of the reasons is that I have a snail pace, and I can't naturally fully enjoy it as much.
Sort of like how Stardew Valley is one of the best indie games of the past decade and also one of the worst games to run as a Let's Play.
@@dreamshade I mean, unless you're content to focus on the player and not the game. If you can let go of your own expectations and follow the player's pace, it's all good. Not everyone can do that and not all the time.
@@effortlessfury Yeah, I can see SDV streaming for using the twitch stream as an excuse to hang out with your viewers and talk about stuff and chill. But I think I've seen at least three different popular TH-cam people try to start a series of SDV video streams only to give up after two episodes because they just couldn't keep up the banter with all the daily chores.
3:56 THIS EDIT IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL MATT
Legit
It sure is! Praise for Matt. Have never seen this kind of edit before
That was pretty excellent yeah
@@anzek25 it’s pretty good. There was one on reddit r/GodofWar just like it
arent they all just the same animation though? Couldn't matt have just placed all those clips on top of eachother and just cut when he wanted to show the one below it? dont know, just seems like a pretty easy job, but what do i know i guess.
1:26 - So awesome that they collabbed with Dunkey!
The writing/script for this was honestly amazing, and production value was off the charts. Really well done.
Texting my friend after I finally played this game last summer:
"I just beat the Valkyrie Queen"
"Oh shit! How many times did it take?!"
"A week."
On what difficulty? It took me 5 tries for normal difficulty
@@dr.science_0177 wasn't that 'wrestle polar bears in undies' a possible setting?
@@Bbonno it's give me god of war for the hardest setting
I finished the game on hard. And the Queen was so hard to beat - took me hours. But once I got her, it felt really good. I can only imagine how tough she would be on the highest difficulty.
@@Rakshiir do it. Beat her in Give me God Of War
"Be you angels?"
The Tenacious D reference let's goooooo ahahahahah
"Open the door"
"This is no ordinary illness"
Damn... That pun was soo funny😂😂😂
it was funny, not a pun, though
boyfriend: OPEN THE DOOR
girlfriend: this is no ordinary illness
😂
"This is no ordinary illness" lmaoooooo 1:10 That absolutely floored me hahahaha
Also I know Matt was literally a professional editor, but OOF he is really flexing here. Bravo on these amazing cuts!
"I will rain down every agony-every violation imaginable upon you. I will parade your cold body from every corner of every realm and feed your soul to the vilest filth in hell."
wow that's actually hardcore stuff
I think Freya says that to Kratos when he kills her son
That's a straight up Les Grossman
line right there.
Freya says it in the game
The Cycle Ends Here. You will never be the Ruler of Olympus. Oh wait wrong game
Freya says that after you kill her son Baldur. The reason why it is so intense is because she went to EXTREME lengths to make sure that he was immortal. She gave up being the Queen of the valkyries, had a curse placed on her that made her incapable of defending herself from threats, and was willing to die at his hands for his sake.
1:10 I'm laughing tears :'D
Is nobody gonna talk about Shelby's screaming when Matt beat the Valkyrie Queen?😂
Heroes deserve to be recognized.
That moment and "YEEEAAAAHHH! BIG SNAKE" bring me so much joy for no reason
Got to love Shelby's Dunkey voice.
Does anyone else just keep re-watching from 7:16 to listen to to the Valkyrie Queen be described again? I love this by the way cool video!
11 minutes of pure entertainment!! you guys are awesome and a great team. I have just as much time enjoying the commentary as I do the flawless edits! keep it going I love it
Damn the editing is so good on these. When it made it look like Kratos was singing in tenacious D (4:43) I about died.
Matt is a god-tier editor.. change my mind.
Okay, I don't know why, but Atreus losing his hair for the ad read was HILARIOUS
Kratos with hair felt like some aesir curse.
Mythological version of Megamind
‘How many pots are you guys gonna smash?’
**Laughs in Ocarina of Time**
You guys inspired me to play the PS5 version solely to defeat the Valkyries and their Queen. Last night my wife and I screamed in elation as I ripped the wings off the Queen herself! I did what I felt was the impossible. Your support and videos have also led me to beat Returnal and Demon Souls. Which again were other games I felt I would never be able to beat. Thanks for your support to the gaming community ❤
Nippleheim and mustafarheim: As a swede I've never been this hilariously entertained and offended at the same time.
Jorraptor calls it "Milfheim" :-D
@@stuamule wonderful XD
"milfgaurd" 😭
The production value in these videos is absolutely unreal. Look at those smooth cuts! Look at those genious transitions! Matt, you're an absolute god at editing!
The writing, the editing and the delivery! Golden, guys. Just golden.
Just finished the main storyline on PS4 yesterday evening. What an amazing game! Your remarks on all of the "holupaminutes" are spot on, I was thinking to myself - "Do I really need all the silver and chests if I have my health and raged maxed already?" and I kept on smashing these pots and ring-a-dinging these bells.
Keep doing what you do, it's great fun to hear you talk about games!
That satisfaction of beating that final Valkyrie is indescribable - one of the hardest bosses
Especially on Give Me God of War difficulty after not having beat the game before. :)
@@lukesuire6468 I have beaten Sigrun the first time on Hard mode, and then GMGOW. Felt like i faced Sigrun for the first time again.
I beat her on the first go, but I think that's because I was already massively overleveled 😅
@@uglyferret9397 no way man!
@@uglyferret9397 you can't possibly overlevel end game boss. You just that good.
Ahh yes, boy, kratos and girlfriend. I’ve never clicked so fast
And Dunkey 1:24
That “open the door” part is probably the first time I laugh out loud on TH-cam. Brilliant 😂😂😂
“Be you angels?” “Nay we are but a couple, play oooooonnnn!”
We couldn't remember the greatest game in the world, this is a tribute
@@SlimedogYT to the greatest game in the world alroooooight it was the game in the world alrooooight
Shelby's Dunkey is amazing.
7:24 gfr: “my boyfriend accidentally had the biggest, *longest*, HARDEST...
me: hol’ up a minute
9:02 My absolute favorite part of this video!
U know why i like ur reviews details ... Like that shop thing around 6:50 yes we do it ... And takes someone else in the room to notice it ... Altho we are literally spending our lives in menu we LOVE IT
woooo mama! that synced up transition through the Valkyrie's execution animation at 3:54 was sexy. Y'all have come a long way, keep up the great work!
Is no one gonna talk about the cute animation at 0:53 that is a great intro
I feel so much of this-just finished watching my boyfriend play and the dichotomy of suppressing your boredom through random side quests and watching plot battles with bated breath really got me. Great video, glad to see there are more game-watching girlfriends out there.
First off your editing and splicing in of just the right clip or sound is second to none! And everything you were saying to that valkyrie was me 💯%! I gave her days of my life and when I finally was getting close to slaying her all of my rage of all the deaths I had incurred for days finally came out pretty much like what you were sayin! Lol but once she was slain and the platinum trophy adorned my playstation a calm came over me... As if I felt that my work here was done.
I wonder how many times she’s going to bring up the big ‘ol 4K TV 😂
Idk why but when Shelby did the Freya monologue that just put a big smile on my face
The best game of all time for me. I have played this 2 years ago and now 2021 playing it again starting from scratch. That is how amazing this game is for me, this is the first time I'm finishing a game for the second time
Ff7 on ps1. Then Metal gear solid on ps1 your welcome
ff7 isnt even the best ff game though lol
I love god of war 2018, its probably in my top 50, the reason it isnt higher is that the third act is kinda mid and atreus shoulda gotten a bit more development, because going from sweet curious atreus to magni murderer is too much too quickly
1:25 can we all just appreciate that dunkey impression
8:13 *Chuckles* "yeah"
"Open the DOOOR!" " This is no ordinary illness" lmao
8:31 We need a review of Hollow Knight: Godmaster now.
"Thiiiiiiiiiis iiiiiiiiiiiiis your dead moooooom" I laughed so hard I startled my dogs
You guys pop into my recommended.
My Mind: Watch it boy.
Me: has a bad day
Girlfriend reviews: no you don't
I just found your channel and as a girlfriend who is a single-player gamer I felt this review in my soul haha. My boyfriend recommends games to me a lot, and God of War was something I've always been interested in trying even before he suggested it. I watched him play Ragnarok when it came out, not having a clue wtf was going on, but it's such a beautiful game so I decided to try the 2018 one...and ended up playing it for 10hrs straight. Never looked back
Man, I freaking love your videos! I found you guys like 4 days ago and I've watched literally every single one now with this being the last one. Honestly, one of my favorite youtube channels.
I’m hoping one of these revisits is titled “Remastered”
You mean like "The Review God of War Deserved Remastered"?
@@pbjent something like that...
I was just thinking that too hahaha
And it’s just the same video but in HD and some voiceover was changed?

Has he ever defeated the nameless king in DS3? Nameless king, and Sigrun, were the hardest bosses I've ever had to beat. He's probably better than me though lmao he made it through more of sekiro 🤣
Could you guys play persona 5 Royal?
you really know your demographic
Wow actually got a video recommended by TH-cam from you guys this time
Are you ever going to try days gone
My god, the “open the door.. this is a mental illness” was too damn good 😂
3:17 that part MURDERED ME
OMG YES THE RETURN OF "I was looking for dᵤcₜ ₜₐₚₑ"
9:10 damn that monologue gave me shivers. Got any voice acting gigs? Because you should!
I remember fighting Sigrun, took me hours to come up with every dirty trick to take advantage of every opening she had, and many more hours to execute it perfectly. I had the same energy as 9:10 , and ended the same situation in 9:53.
Fighting the Valkyries is probably one of the most satisfying sidequest I've played.
Watching this channel flourish is all the “be better” a boy could need. The content is consistently entertaining and enlightening. Each new video is a gift :’)
i like how that song at 10:02 gives me chills even with the goof lyrics.
*shows up with 4K TV*
"This ain't no ordinary illness"
That Dunky impression was JARRING
Just found this channel and I’m hooked! The editing on these videos is gold!
You guys are the best. I love all your videos and this was almost nostalgic after being with this community so long.
“This reminds me of the time I reviewed god of war at my boyfriends house” -Gex
Classic
"Be you angels?"
_Nay, you have a boyfriend_
*ROCK*
I had the exact same experience with the Valkyrie Queen, I spent days going at her again and again and again and when I beat her, I got some of the most satisfaction out a video game I have ever had.
And then spent another time period through Give me God of War until I beat her again in that
You guys have not only grown but gotten soooooo much better every video. Thanks for keeping up the great content! Much love ❤️
Me who knows nothing about God of War: interesting
you
How do you not know...?
You gotta play it sometime lol
Boy! Be better.
No offense but have you been living under a rock for the past 15 years?
That cartoon with the two of them chilling was lowkey awesome af
One of my fave channels. Great work guys, keep 'em coming!
I´ve already watched your video 10 times in the last 3 days. It´s pure nostalgic! and perfektly cut!
Shelby screaming "die" is the most adorable thing I've heard her say
It remined me so much of GLaDOS screaming "YEAH! Yeah! BURN HIS HOUSE DOWN" when Cave Johnson was giving his speech about life giving him lemons.
"This is no ordinary illness!"
Ah, yes. I am quite familiar with that disease. *looks at my 50" 4K TV that I bought as a "gift" to myself after Marvel's Spider-Man released.
*looks at built gaming pc*
This disease robs us of money but a side effect is joy.. and sometimes rage, sorrow, depression, exhaustion, insomnia, and giant dragons that resemble macho man randy savage.
You two are just the perfect lense through which to view our dorky fun little hobby. Thanks for the laughs. You guys are great!
Sigrun... That name gives painful memories. The NG+ GMGOW Sigrun actually took months of attempts to complete
