@@weskercry8478 i guess what puts it behind is that it doesn't have that many installments.

@@matiasgago He actually said in an interview that he has had a bit of a dark past with his family as well, and that's why this scene impacted him so much. He cried at the "I know..."
@@PeachBBX yeah I know! That’s the bad part they really need to do something about cuz it’s just 3 remastered that you can get on ps4/5 normal. Cuz yeah if you got anything going on with your bitrate/wifi and it’s not Ethernet direct in it’ll lag like crazy and that’s just no fun at all. So yeah definitely.
Gow 2018 doesn’r go into the why Kratos has the blades of chaos instead of the blades of exile. A comic called “Fallen God” (which takes place post gow 3) shows that Kratos tried many times to get rid of the blades of chaos, but they would return to him after waking up from slumber. My guess is that it’s a curse that keeps him from disposing the blades
I've seen maybe half a dozen playthroughs of this game and you were the first to do it right and play the original 3. Your face watching the blades scenes was all of our faces watching you watch them hahaha! Thank you for sharing your journey, man. What a ride and it's not over yet!!
The difference in atmosphere in this game after Atreus falls ill is crazy mad! And Matis reaction is priceless! I must’ve watched the boat scene after Kratos takes Atreus to Freya more than a dozen times. Pure brilliance
My favorite bit about that scene with Modi when Kratos goes into Spartan Rage is that despite taking Modi's mace, he drops it to use his FIST instead bro
of all long running game franchises the fans of God of War impress me most. very rarely does someone spoil something and somehow I have yet to see anyone reveal the return of his blades. it's always satisfying watching that entire sequence from Kratos saying he needs to return home up until the combat with them.
Finding someone who played the OG games before this on and GET IT is rare nowadays. Thanks for sharing your reaction it really made me relive this amazing gaming moment all over again.
You know what is, I’m sure, the _worst_ part, to Kratos, of picking up those Blades again? How _good_ it must feel. I imagine it just like when Harry repaired his own wand at the end of Deathly Hallows. How wand and hand both felt like they were tingling with joy at being reunited. Imagine that here. To sink his godly power into the Blades so intertwined with him, to feel life return to them from himself as their flames flair up for the first time in so long…seeing the way he runs his fingers along them before putting them on, the way his hands shake…I’m sure it just feel incredible, physically. And I can’t imagine how much worse that makes it.
I do feel bad for those who started the GoW games with the 2018 game; they can try to imagine the emotional weight of the boat scene, but never understand it totally. (And even if they started to play the older games after this one, you can have just one first time reaction to that scene.) I'm so glad you got to feel it at its fullest.
"This is like a FromSoft boss" is spot on, you have to die a few times to learn her attack patterns and how to dodge/parry/block. The fact that it took a valkyrie to force you to learn to lock on and parry, on GMAC, is completely insane. Good job getting her on the 8th try though, those things are stupid difficult. That said, I cant wait till you find out she's the easy one 😉
I cant imagine playing this game if i hadnt played the ogs, imagine getting the blades and being all 'ok cool new weapon i guess, lets move on' hells naw lmao
Matiii!!! Stop using the shield break and calling it a Parry 😂😂😂 You just have to press block once a sec before you get hit and thats a Parry. Hitting block twice it's a totally different move 😂😂😂 Amazing fight against the Valkyrie tho, It got me all pumped and I now want to fight them again 💪🏼🤣
Bro this was so good. Easily the best "Let's Player" I've seen, and I've watched a shit ton of LPs. Also love the fact that you pay attention to a lot of stuff. The amount of times I've seen people completely miss the giant ass bird in Helheim until mid fight is crazy. And like you said, playing through the OG games made this episode 10x better. Glad you did it and glad you enjoyed it. Easily the best LP I've watched in years.
Dude. Seeing your excitement as he mentioned needing to dig up his past was GOLD. I’ve seen this game and played it so many times… this has been one of the best playthroughs Mati because you also played through the OG 3
This was my first god of war. Honestly, I regret not playing the first 3 first. I had played with my friend who was a huge fan and witnessing his reaction made me understand the greatness of it.
At 52:44, I had exactly that reaction. I was like "Nooo way! Kratos is gonna bring back his blades?!" At the start, it really felt like something was missing and no longer 100% felt like a GoW game. Only 50% because we got Kratos, but no Blades of Chaos. But once he dug up the blades, this game felt 100% GoW. This gave me the chills too.
Can we talk about how scared Kratos is? Like, he is obviously scared of going back to his old self, by using the blades. But the way he is heavy breathing while holding Atreus, waiting for the elevator to get to Freya house. The man is terrified.
You finally got good I'm so proud of you child... Just remember don't let it get in your head too much some of the Valkyries are waaaayyy tougher than others so leave them for later "maybe one per episode could be interesting" and yea do them all they are worth doing cause they hide a secret boss that is one of the best I have ever fought
Yoooo we so baaaaaack This is legit my favourite scene in any piece of media I have ever consumed, always gives me chills no matter how many times I've seen it when Kratos digs up the (you know what) and flashbacks start kicking in
Advice for balancing side quests and main content is do however much or however little side quests you want to the more fun you have the more fun we have
imo doing some of the less exciting side quests off camera and just showing us what you got could be cool and it would make the combat less exhausting bc you’d be doing more damage with your new gear
Watching you put this off while you considered freeing the dragon was painful. What a moment in gaming, definitely one of the GOATs. This is also why Atreus said at the start "but you told me never to go down there", because the blades were hidden down there all along.
I am so clueless about the God of War lore when I played this game last month. I thought God of War (201) is the first one and when I was playing the game, I thought it's one of those games that puts you in the middle of the world without explaining itself and will just let you fill in the blanks yourself. Then I watched blind playthroughs and realized there's an entire trilogy of games and more before this one. It makes perfect sense. Although playing God of War (2018) clueless is still a fun experience. An amazing feat given how media nowadays bait people with nostalgia rather than good content.
52:42 YAAAA BOIIIII. This game does a great job reinventing the wheel and giving you the axe and RIGHT when you commit your heart to the axe being the new main weapon, this 😙👌
Like many of us here, I have been waiting for this moment ever since I first learned you were doing God of War. That sequence from Tyr's Temple to Kratos saying "I am your monster no longer" is absolute PEAK, and I don't imagine it could hit anywhere near as hard if you weren't the legend that you are having done the original trilogy first. This game is freaking incredible, and how they introduced the blades puts it right up there at the very, very top of gaming with some FromSoftware titles, the Baldur's Gate trilogy and Grand Theft Auto. These four would be on my Mt. Rushmore of games.
Blades of Chaos were created by and powered by primordial fire. Power that exceeds all gods in time. The fire was pemanently attached to Kratos together with the blades and that is why he can not get rid of them like the other blades like say Exile. He lost all of his weapons at the end of GOW 3 when he killed all the gods and released their power alongside power of hope to the world. The weapons were destroyed as they were powered by those godly powers from Olympians that Kratos absorbed. Except for Blades of Chaos. They outdate even the gods and are channeling power from primordial fire of the universe. The blades being attached to him is like another bodypart that he cant get rid of. Whatever he does with them, they will come back to him.
Personally i can’t imagine why anyone would play this game without either playing, or watching a story summary of the trilogy first. This whole game gets two times better by knowing what Kratos used to be. These moments that you just experienced in these episodes would lose most of their weight.
Tho as someone who did play these games without having played or knowing anything about the story of the original. The way the scene was done still gave me chills and made me hyped. Would have been way more hyped if I had played the OG games but even without it, it's still a great scene
the whole CHAOS part i was giggling along side. like an 5 yo who was about receive his first lego set. i had shivers the WHOLE TIME like i saw this for the first time again!! Great fucking episode man. it made my evening 😁
YESS! You got the Cyclone of Chaos! Some bit of information you might enjoy, the runic attacks for your weapons are named relative to the Pantheons they originate from. The Leviathan Axe will have runics named after Norse Gods and the Blades named after the Greek Gods. You'll be familiar with the Blades and its runic attacks because a LOT of moves from the older games are incorporated into the baldes through runic attacks. I'm all for it if you want to 100% this game and upload that journey as it'll be cool to see you get all the moves for the Blades and I'm not sure if you'd like to do that while the story is the main focus, so episodes after the story is completed focusing on 100% would be awesome
He experienced the same shock we did. So glad it didn't get spoiled! I know but I am your monster no longer. is one of the best lines ever in gaming. IMHO
Ok now that you have decided to master the combat, here's a secret tip, the stance switch attacks of the axe and blades do a ton of dmg (secret speedrunner strategy). You should look into them. And don't tell anyone shush.
So the Valkyries begin honestly the best part of the game for me a good old fashioned 1v1 boss fight really forces you to use everything you have to defeat her as well. Pro tip - make sure you pay attention to the move sets itll help you in the long run trust me 😆
fun fact during the scene where kratos is touching his arms and said “I know but i am your monster no longer” Christopher judge in the BTS can be seen almost crying ! 10/10 acting
We are so back!!! This is the episode I’ve been waiting for, I was so excited to see your reaction to the blades! Kratos’ response to the spirit of Athena is a great showing of character growth.
Been waiting for this since I started watching your GOW1 gameplay. A few years back I completed the game and my best friend was playing it. One day I asked him where in the sotory he was. He told me "I dunno, boy got ill and I left it right before going to Freya." so I forced him to go to his house and play in front of me, so I could see his reaction. It's just so amazing whatching people react to this moment. The game is pretty good until that point, then this happens and becomes the masterpiece it is. There're not many moments in games that have caused me the feeling this part caused me when I played it. Many people say this is fan service, and it might, but fan service is not always bad. When they do it right, and in a way that it makes sense in the story, and not just throwing cameos and shit for no reason, then it becomes a great thing.

Side quests are what makes this game that much more interesting to play/watch this particular game
I love watching Mati getting excited on the stories of the games he plays. And DAMN, especially in a game such this one.
Keep it up my friend.
So the Valkyries begin honestly the best part of the game for me a good old fashioned 1v1 boss fight really forces you to use everything you have to defeat her as well.
Pro tip - make sure you pay attention to the move sets itll help you in the long run trust me 😆
Yeah let's go!!✨️🗿
THANK YOU for changing the armour, looks way better. Style > Stats.
fun fact during the scene where kratos is touching his arms and said “I know but i am your monster no longer” Christopher judge in the BTS can be seen almost crying ! 10/10 acting
We are so back!!! This is the episode I’ve been waiting for, I was so excited to see your reaction to the blades! Kratos’ response to the spirit of Athena is a great showing of character growth.
Been waiting for this since I started watching your GOW1 gameplay. A few years back I completed the game and my best friend was playing it. One day I asked him where in the sotory he was. He told me "I dunno, boy got ill and I left it right before going to Freya." so I forced him to go to his house and play in front of me, so I could see his reaction.
It's just so amazing whatching people react to this moment. The game is pretty good until that point, then this happens and becomes the masterpiece it is.
There're not many moments in games that have caused me the feeling this part caused me when I played it. Many people say this is fan service, and it might, but fan service is not always bad. When they do it right, and in a way that it makes sense in the story, and not just throwing cameos and shit for no reason, then it becomes a great thing.
the story of this game is, quite literally, in one word, peak
