Kratos isn’t weaker in the Norse games, he is definitely stronger in a vacuum. The difference is how used to fighting he is. Early 2018 Kratos hasn’t fought in ages, he’s stiff, his mindset isn’t there it makes him careless and messy and makes slow mistakes, any athlete knows the first practices after the off season feel the least comfortable even if you’re better than the year before. His ferocity has tempered, you no longer see him beating up mortals. Odin and Zeus may be similar strengths but Zeus was weakened before being attacked. Older Kratos may not need the same level of help to win this time.
His fight vs Heimdal is proof to him regaining his fighting acuity. In the Norse games Kratos doesn’t really have a jump in power, there’s no limit unlock it’s that he’s just finding the strength that was there. He sharpened the blade already tempered in Greece and beat a fully realized Odin only damaged from desperation.
@@myrixica4222 exactly, it’s not that he’s weaker in the new series but he’d probably lose to younger him early on but only cause he has been raising a kid and suppressing his rage. He still has rage and skill, it just needs to be worked back to refinement.
What Kratos is dealing with is like if you went up to an alcoholic and told him "Quick, you gotta drain this 40 or the nine realms are doomed." He's trying really hard to be a better person and terrified of falling back into his old habits, while the universe keeps throwing these problems at him that only murder can solve.
I can imagine like, him being another personality stuck there the entire game, and young Kratos is screaming towards his old self to stop acting like a softie Gets to this part, both are just silent and young Kratos comes out without any words spoken between the two
Kratos hates people or beings that want to take control and reign over everything, that's the one thing that hadn't changed about him, kills ares, his boss, kill zeus father of all gods in his homeland, basically the biggest boss, and now the all father.
I do appreciate that they make Odin basically a god-king-wizard that also knows how to use weaponry. Yes he's less physically imposing than someone like Kratos or Thor, but he's still a god of war and master of all magics, notably runic magic and the supposedly female magic of prophecy. Man is absolutely final boss material.
If older Kratos didn't hold back hed be nearly unstoppable. Hes not as ferocious as he was im his younger years cause he doesn't wanna be that anymore. Hes more skilled and more capable...just more tempered. If something happened to boy though...no god could prevent whats coming.
FYI: Kratos had a complete access to ares' arsenal (his predecessor's weaponry) since he took his place, this includes even the blade of chaos. But he swore to never touch those weapons ever again, and he kept his words.
Considering what happened in the story Sindri deserved to be the one to do it Hopefully we see him again but him having time mourn and have the chance to return back to his old self but idk if that will happen
Makes me wonder if Kratos is the Canaanite god... Think about it, a god-slayer, and the account of Exodus, the 10 plagues are reference on killing the Egyptian gods.
The only thing that would have made these new GOW games better was if Linda Hunt narrated I return to OG God of Wars games to here her voice yet in the new ones I long to here her ever more
If not for the dialogue, the fact that he's such a damage sponge makes everything else about the fight boring. Thank goodness as a viewer we can skip the boring whittling of the large HP pool. Can't imagine playing this on anything other than easy if all they do is make the enemies damage sponges...
Man I forgot about the soylennial speech patterns, jarring as I haven't heard that kind of thing in awhile. Game is going to get cringier as time goes by.
This is pathetic. Compare the writing and gameplay of God of War to this travesty pretending to be a God of War game. What a lousy poorly executed game.
One of the things I hate in video games is when you completely dominate a boss fight only to lose in a cut scene... its ridiculous.
they go from failing trying even scratch you to just throwing you aside with a single hand
I agree I think the cut scene you get should be on how well you play
@@alexsnyder7272then that game will take like 10 years to come out (not concord)

@@jackleetch8511 And you see that further Refined in the DLC.
He did that because he didn’t want to kill

The fact that Young and Old Kratos actually seem to be creating their own little dialog seems to make this better^^
The fact older kratos is stronger and yet young kratos makes everyone or everything look weak. Imagine if he stopped holding back 💀💀
Actually, the devs confirmed Kratos was in his prime in God of War 3
@@Mana__ meaning you can’t get stronger than your prime, meaning older Kratos by default is weaker
Im not sure that is true! The Devs have also told us that the Olympian gods only grow stronger with age
@axinhedgelion8417 not true, you can get stronger, but your dexterity and agility may suffer
@@axinhedgelion8417no they didn't
Odin: "you turned him against me. You turned them all against me!"
Obi-wan: "your manipulation and lust for power have already done that."
Lol when mimir said "don't forget me, all-f***** lol "
Odin literally had stop for a sec like wtf???
“What did you call me” lol
Imagine if old kratos kept all of his Olympian weaponry
Helio's head, Herme's boots, the gauntlets of Hercules, Artemis's Bow, all of it
Imagine a normal fight and suddenly Kratos whips out Medusa's Head. Nobody fucks with a guy like that unless they're mad.
He has them they dont work anymore @@ryanmaeder9898
imagine him ripping Odin's soul from his body😭
@@northernalpine4350 couldn't he control time too
It was all destroyed by Zeus at the end of gow unfortunately
Yeesh Old Kratos allows Young Kratos to takeover to fight Odin. They both hate the all fucker
I can imagine like, him being another personality stuck there the entire game, and young Kratos is screaming towards his old self to stop acting like a softie
Gets to this part, both are just silent and young Kratos comes out without any words spoken between the two

Young Kratos And Old Kratos Having A Sort Of Dr. Jekyl And Mr. Hyde Kind Of Relationship Is Really Interesting To Me, Great Work!
imagine being on your hands and knees and getting gut kicked so hard hard it makes you stand back up
Love to see Odin trying to dialogue, but he just stops talking suddenly because of Kratos like
"Damn, he rocking my shit"
6:22
The young kratos not gonna stand still watching odin like that, he's gonna straight hit that axe or blade of chaos to his neck
I do appreciate that they make Odin basically a god-king-wizard that also knows how to use weaponry. Yes he's less physically imposing than someone like Kratos or Thor, but he's still a god of war and master of all magics, notably runic magic and the supposedly female magic of prophecy.

Odin trying to blame the other two for the fact she just witnessed him stab her father through the chest is crazy

"I thought your spear never missed, old man! You're getting rustier than I EVER was!"
Bro Younger And Older Kratos Fighting Together In The CTE Was Always MIND BREAKING
FYI: Kratos had a complete access to ares' arsenal (his predecessor's weaponry) since he took his place, this includes even the blade of chaos. But he swore to never touch those weapons ever again, and he kept his words.
Thrud didn't even telegraphed it, she sent a fucking letter for that reach for Mjolnir
At the end of video, cut to skyrim intro: "You're finally awake"
1:18 no hesitation
Bro did not hesitate
Considering what happened in the story
Sindri deserved to be the one to do it
Hopefully we see him again but him having time mourn and have the chance to return back to his old self but idk if that will happen
17:30 freya is destined to die at Ragnarok in the old myths.
"this was our chance, lowkey"
I didn’t expect him to walk up to Odin and still didn’t get hurt I never seen both like that before 2:20
4:50 that transition was *GODLIKE*
“YOU CHOOSE TO BE NOTHING!?… EAHHHHHHH!!!!”
That hit so hard
Makes me wonder if Kratos is the Canaanite god... Think about it, a god-slayer, and the account of Exodus, the 10 plagues are reference on killing the Egyptian gods.
Yeshua would wipe the floor w kratos, and He wouldn’t have to lift a finger.
If it wasn't for Kratos in the Odin battle in the game, Odin would have won.
Its crazy how Odin doesnt even hesitate
The boss when Kratos starts sounding like TC Carson again: 😳
i love how the boss is just an old man
Was this a TASbot or something, that shit was too flawless haha
I love how derpy odin is
8:53 "THEIR JUMPING ME. THEIR JUMPING ME."
Kratos has a split personality disorder, his main personality is stronger but calm and his second personality is weak but a PSYCOPATH
bro whats ur build?
“Yes”
Fr tell us it's mad busted
Lore accurate Kratos
Goldblum's Zeus from Kaos reminds me so much of this Odin
Thor was my absolute favorite this version was awesome and i wish we got to see him more
This video just released on my birthday
Very nice
Which god of war was this?
Ragonorrock
ragmacock
Rammycock
Sam Raimi’s Sock
The only thing that would have made these new GOW games better was if Linda Hunt narrated I return to OG God of Wars games to here her voice yet in the new ones I long to here her ever more
Why does it switches from older to younger kratos??
Odin sounds like Larry David, anyone else think so? Or am I just late to the party?
Reminds me of a bad Netflix show, where did kratos balls go
My mind spinning, are you playing as new kratos or old kratos
Yes
Use Spartan Rage
Which gow ???
Ragnarök

Yeah, they should make final bosses be oneshot
This gameplay looks so goofy honestly
Wow thats bad dialog.

What Atreus armour is that
Risen snow it’s a pre order
So was the "intention" to make ALL the Norse gods look shit... or what?
Since this video is fanmade about younger Kratos then yes
