The Pollux and Castor boss fight was very satisfying considering that before Castor violently killed a slave for no reason other than speaking out and during the fight Pollux deliberately and spitefully made Aletheia plummet to her death just so Kratos doesn’t reach her and then he has the nerve to say that he’s an innocent? yeah their deaths were well earned
@@nahelbeuk Yeah......nah. He was a war General and had killed many before ruthlessly. He was brought up that way. He was never meant to be a 'good' or righteous character. He is a VERY human protagonist despite being godly.
@@hydroshock1853 The bosses in this game definitely don't lack in terms of granduer/spectacle. Like the boss battle that takes place on Hecatoncheires with his body getting infested by the Furies insects, warping his mouth and making giant monsters spawn out of himself to fight Kratos. Or that Final Battle with the three Furies, with Kratos battling them in a black void/maelstrom.
They should be a huge remaster of the older gow games all of em on disc and digital each with their own trophies like they did with one and two and origins
Game Journalists:"Kratos is just a blood thirstyman who just kills" The first thing Kratos does for the Oracle: Lifts the massive stone away and immediately tries to heal her only to see it has no effect. Feels empathy and remorse and holds her hand till she dies This only one of the other good things he's done in the trilogy btw.
well in Valhalla Kratos did felt regret for killing the captain. Its true hoplite hates cowardice, and it is even stricter moral code for Spartan hoplite than Athens, but Kratos never thought that not all people can fight. After deep thinking Kratoa realized that the captain is just a normal man, and the kraken is just an animal, and that Kratos showed him what a real monster looks like.
@@byronsmothers8064 I think it would be the opposite. He said he was interested in Kratos story. So, he would probably be all like:"meh, that should do it."
Agreed, this and Aegeon's are the best in this game IMO, though God of war 4 has some stellar sountrack as well, like Baldur and the Queen of the Valkyries
In the actual Greek myth, Castor and Pollux look alike as they are identical twins (we know them as the Gemini/Dioscuri). But here, omg Siamese twins 🤣
It's an interpretation following the series' "the gods suck" theme. When Castor died, Pollux asked the gods to share his immortality with his brother (as he was divine). The gods (probably Zeus) then conjoined their bodies as a sick, literal interpretation of the request. Too bad for them.

@@TheShadowspear2 That just weird. I mean is not a remake. Remastered is more or less a simple port sometimes. They did it with two GOW on PSP and GOW1 and 2 on PS3, and then GOW3 on PS4.

Even Uncharted got all of it port to PS4, as well as having a full collection released on PS5 now
I must admit I had the same bias that a lot of people had about Ascension. The reason is people don’t generally like prequels. We saw the same thing with Star Wars. But God of War: Ascension is a masterpiece. The mechanics are great, the world is beautiful and the fighting is so intense that it demands you raise your level. The game does start to slow down a bit around the moving snakes but the overall pace of the game is excellent. The final boss fight isn’t as satisfying as Zeus but how could it be? If you put your bias aside and accept what the game is meant to be, you will have a truly wonderful experience playing Ascension.
@@robert4039 Personal opinion since I only played GoW2 a little and 4, and I think Ascension looks really really good, and the combat looks good too, but my opinion is that the rage meter being tied to not getting hit isn’t really a good idea. Dealing damage to add to rage meter is fine, but getting hit lowering rage meter sounds.. kinda wrong. You’d be angry because you’re getting hit, not getting calmer, in a logical sense. But for other games, rage meter doesn’t lower when you’re not hit. Promoting great play is perfectly reasonable, and maybe consecutive hits without taking damage increasing the gain of rage would be better, but the part where it drains because you’re hit doesn’t seem like a good design choice, especially for newer player who’re looking for fun before getting better.
One thing I wondered in Ascension is how Kratos was able to kill the Furies, especially wih breaking Tisiphone's neck bare-handed, WITHOUT "The Power to Kill a God". At least with Chains of Olympus the death of Persephone was with the use of Zeus's Gauntlet and the Sun-Shield. Perhaps Athena knew that those of divine blood, even a demigod, can kill their own. Overall, the prequel is alright; with Multiplayer being an interesting experiment. It kind of explains the conundrum of why the Olympians couldn't simply "erase Kratos's nightmares".
This was a fine God of War game. I hope Santa Mónica to make a Prequel in the Greek Mythology with current gameplay. I miss the fearless brutal killing machine that Kratos used to be.
If they did that i think gameplay should be a mix of old and new. It should be about Kratos years as a spartan,training growing up to be a spartan,meeting his wife and having Calliope,going to many wars,making his oath to Ares,fighting battles in his name and ending with leaving the player as being able to kill his family in the temple.He actually had many,many adventures even before the Ascension. We should see Atreus of Sparta whom Atreus/Loki was named after,we should see him being told the stories he says to Atreus on the boat etc
@@a.p.5342 nah he is not as a brutal as he was in the old games, the closest we got to old Kratos in Ragnarok was when he killed Heimdall and that still was too tamed compared to the brutal ways he killed the greek gods
Guards: "Don't make us kill you." Kratos: "I force fed a Hydra a ship's mast, slaughtered legions, and ripped off a minotaur's testicles with my bare hands." Guards: "We shall seek employment elsewhere."

Kratos cannot have been the first one who walked in without an offering, and was able to defeat/scare away those two guards. Im guessing that bridge gets rebuilt a lot.
09:20 - 09:33 this right here is a testament to Kratos' OP reflexes, reaction time and speed. People really shouldnt be all that suprised that he could catch Hermes

He's not an animal, he's merely human. It was by GOW2 and 3 that he'd snap out of blind rage to show no empathy for everyone that manipulated him. At the same time, he's still rational enough not to attack those who mean him no harm or stay out of his way.

The bad rap is because it was a prequel and the game is a bit too short due to multiplayer mode being added. But it was never regards as the worst game. It just became a least favourite in the series that all.

The ripping off and stomping of Pollux was one of the baddest scenes I have ever seen in a game 👍🏼. When Pollux was dragging himself along the ground, he reminded me of Bicycle Girl from TWD. 😂
Ascension turnt tf up in my opinion. I was curious how they would beat 3 by it being a prequel but shit, I like to think they did. The final boss in ascension was epic for it being on the ps3.
And people say Kratos wouldn't be able to take on beings from Marvel & DC. Gameplay Kratos doesn't show everything because it would be boring. But Lore Kratos' power is highly matchable to other beings
He was a hero kinda in Ascension, however he slowly descended to villainy as the games progressed due to the gods' machinations. At GoW 2 & 3, there were no good guys
Tbh i got this game just 3 years ago after playing gow since ps2 days . Overall i ended enjoying as much as gow3 ! Apart from kratos hands being huge the graphics are impressive and combat is great too . Story is a bit uninteresting but yeah an underated game 👍
This is one of those boss fights you never get tired of watching. In the hands of a really good player Kratos is a freaking Mad Man...that roar at 5:58😁
It's interesting this one didn't sell very well. After the banger that was God of War 3, you would think the next game would sell a massive amount also
I guess it was because the fans expected à sequel rather than à prequel game, because we all wanted answers back in the day so we were not interested to buy the game back then. But i dis beat it about 2 years ago and i liked it. But they learned their lesson and did GOW4
They fucked up big time with Ascension and thats ultimately the reason why we have such a tamed down story now cause they figured that no one wants the old Kratos instead of blaming themselves for failing Ascension.
Prequel Fatigue after Ghost of Sparta + they made rather weird decision when it comes to game mechanics here : Such as Rage mechanic being tied to how aggressive you play but penalize you if you're suck or playing it safe akin to DMC Style Meter instead of traditional filling up the bar and unleash it and no permanent side weapons in place of lame elemental magic powers, just to name a few Overall it feels like a downgrade at least mechanically from its previous predecessors before they ultimately doubles down to it in 4
Of all the Greek saga God of war games. This has the best graphics hands down, best gameplay, best sound and even better sound effects. The only thing it's missing is the story isn't as strong as the others and it was still a great game!
Kratos: Good news Castor! I found a sacrifice

Ascension turnt tf up in my opinion. I was curious how they would beat 3 by it being a prequel but shit, I like to think they did. The final boss in ascension was epic for it being on the ps3.
You have earned a trophy: Quade!
0:52 *smartest man of all times*
Bro your gameplay was amazing 🔥🔥
Anybody else notice that Tyler Bates reused part of this track in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie? Listen to Pod Chase.
And people say Kratos wouldn't be able to take on beings from Marvel & DC. Gameplay Kratos doesn't show everything because it would be boring.
But Lore Kratos' power is highly matchable to other beings
Kratos to Castor with a cold stare into his dead face: *"You do not deserve to wield that Amulet."*
10:17
Kratos : And you have not been asked to live!
Kratos is apparently squeaky clean right after being covered in blood from killing the Manticores right outside xd
This is Castor and Pollux? It makes me laugh
@Robin Caster I really don't know anything about this game, it was just recommended to me; I wrote the previous, because I know the Greece mythology
@@НариманЭ-ш3м God of War is loosely based on mythology. The developers usually make their own interpretation of the characters to fit the game.
Now I feel kratos is the hero and the gods are the villains
He was a hero kinda in Ascension, however he slowly descended to villainy as the games progressed due to the gods' machinations. At GoW 2 & 3, there were no good guys
@@darkemperortheobscureone694 ya
Favorite boss in the game.
Anyone else questioning the age of the girl at 0:12?
No. Not really.
09:20 Kratos sheer instinct and his speed in-time reaction has got to be a level on its own
Kratos showed more compassion to Alethia than he did at all in GoW 2 and 3
This and GOW 3 are the best
FOR ME THE BEST ARE GOW 3 AND GOW 2018 OR GOW 4 AND I WANT TO SEE GOW RAGNARÖK
10:05 don’t understand why this one scene was censored but the rest of the game was okay in some regions
Now i want a PS5...
Me too
Mee too, too bad they only made like five of them lol
Why?
It's a PS3 game

DaBaby: 10:00
I knew what it was going to be when I clicked the time stamp but I still laughed. 🤣
less go!!!
this game is perfect
imagine even if its old it still has great graphics
I JUST LOVE IT ❤
me too, having goose bumps watching it, i should play it again
Tbh i got this game just 3 years ago after playing gow since ps2 days . Overall i ended enjoying as much as gow3 ! Apart from kratos hands being huge the graphics are impressive and combat is great too . Story is a bit uninteresting but yeah an underated game 👍
agreed, the puzzles are fun are creative
I do enjoy the idea of witnessing Kratos' first steps towards achieving his vengeance.
I'd have ascension over gow 2018 any day! Miss old kratos so bad 😔
Yeah man. New GOW did not worked for me
@@mannyblackstar what?! It was a amazing but I thought u will be hype for ragnarok
@@leonards9871 still not hyped. New mechanics sucks and that ain't the god of war we used to play. Only real OGs will understand
@@mannyblackstar I understand
@@mannyblackstar nah don't pull the only real ogs card, accept the fact the fact that you don't like change
1:13 whoever voiced that deformed looking dude attached to him is a best performance voice actor ever lol
A voz do TC Carson é imponente combina perfeitamente com o Kratos!
"I offer nothing"
This is one of those boss fights you never get tired of watching. In the hands of a really good player Kratos is a freaking Mad Man...that roar at 5:58😁
The best boss fight in the game
Man, now this is similar to heimdall and wish that this was released before gow 2 and 3, it would have been received positively.
It's interesting this one didn't sell very well. After the banger that was God of War 3, you would think the next game would sell a massive amount also
Because gow greek pantheon have reach the conclusion story so no surprise
I guess it was because the fans expected à sequel rather than à prequel game, because we all wanted answers back in the day so we were not interested to buy the game back then. But i dis beat it about 2 years ago and i liked it.
But they learned their lesson and did GOW4
They fucked up big time with Ascension and thats ultimately the reason why we have such a tamed down story now cause they figured that no one wants the old Kratos instead of blaming themselves for failing Ascension.
Prequel Fatigue after Ghost of Sparta + they made rather weird decision when it comes to game mechanics here :
Such as Rage mechanic being tied to how aggressive you play but penalize you if you're suck or playing it safe akin to DMC Style Meter instead of traditional filling up the bar and unleash it and no permanent side weapons in place of lame elemental magic powers, just to name a few
Overall it feels like a downgrade at least mechanically from its previous predecessors before they ultimately doubles down to it in 4
it's strange too, considering that the Super Bowl trailer for this game is still popular and well remembered to this day.
It's glitchy as hell but the visuals look great!
I think its such unfair for younger gamers not be able to play older GOW games . All should be remastered for PS4 and PS5.
Of all the Greek saga God of war games. This has the best graphics hands down, best gameplay, best sound and even better sound effects. The only thing it's missing is the story isn't as strong as the others and it was still a great game!
9:56 The best part.
