Its not weird that he's stopping to read honestly. He's solved puzzles made by God's for years. He's not stupid his anger may make you think that and Lazer focus on revenge but he's definitely intelligent. Still beautiful in 2018 nothing I don't like about it and the remaster is cool but It's crazy it didn't really need it.
@@CodyKing45 I hear more and more people talk about Ascension in a more positive light now than they did back in 2013, now that we have God of War (2018). It’s honestly a shame it never got a PS4 remaster like III did as it could’ve taken the opportunity to improve the game’s performance, maybe tweak the combat a bit and maybe leave out the Multiplayer. I see remasters of PS3 games leave out Multiplayer quite a lot, plus I don’t see many people talk about it a whole lot compared to the single player portion of Ascension
@@TheSuperSmashBros01 I played it and loved it back then haha, But I can respect God of war way more now, since we’ll I’m older and I just recently replayed them all haha
@@TheSuperSmashBros01 well seeing how famous GOW became after the 2018 release. I can see a re release of the games coming out on the ps5 for those who want to learn more about Kratos and become more aware of the little Eastereggs seen in the recent game.
Replaying the remastered version on my PS5 in 2021 and I can honestly say that this game is still as AMAZING as it was 11 years ago. Hands down, one of the best game's of all time. It's incredible what they were able to do with the PS3, because some of the levels are so epic, it's hard to believe that the PS3 was able to run it.
I’m doing a platinum run for all the games on PS3 and holy shit, I can’t believe what I’m seeing. You’re absolutely right, it’s astonishing what the PS3 was able to render honestly
@@chambeetThere’s the God of War Collection that remasters the PS2 games, then there’s the God of War Origins Collection remasters of the PSP games, so that makes four alongside God of War III and God of War Ascension making six PS3 games, as God of War (2018) is only on PS4 and PC alongside Ragnarök for PS4, PS5 and PC
To me, one of the things that makes the God of War series trully great and fucking badass, is that exquisite soundtrack! It has been implanted in my brain ever since i was a kid, back in the GoW 1 days
The God of the Law. Everything I said was fact, and needed to be accepted. Such as: Thou Shalt Not Spoil Star Wars 8; come on man, it's not even 2017 yet!
God of Wishes and Realms (they both intertwine) I could grant wishes to certain people and myself, and, create entire realms, worlds, and locations at the snap of a finger.
I was playing GOW as a child and the gore was whatever (though I don't actually recall getting towards the end of 3). I'm 26 and the stuff around 17:25 absolutely unnerved me. The fact you *can't* see the damage being dealt really shakes you to the core. Now to watch it 5 times over because I hate myself
As a Fan of The God of war Series for year's Why not just put Both @TCCarson 👈 and @iamchrisjudge as kratos in the NEXT Game so we the Fan's can pick in the Game which voice we want to play as kratos this way Old and New Fan's can play as there favourite kratos @corybarlog 👈this is there Twitter name's
@@UruseiYatsuraFans I'm assuming you're speaking of the og voice actor for Kratos. Well the reason why he couldn't voice Kratos for the recent game was because he wasn't physically tall enough. Kratos in the games is over 6ft tall and his old voice actor is a little over 5'6 i think. On top of that, you'd have to pay both voice actors and do the thousands of lines that come with doing a game of this caliber.
The new God of War takes place many years after God of War III and is set in Scandinavia in Norse mythology and I am counting down the days for that bad boy =D
+PapiDarko His mother was imprisoned and cursed by Zeus, his brother was taken away during his childhood, tortured and was told by the Gods he was dead I think his screaming was justified :P
So Kratos has become hope itself. SO what do you think he's gonna do now? Try to kill Madoka since; A she's a goddess technically and B is also hope itself? Or is he going to kill all the Blue Lanterns so he can gain ALL hope? Those two sound like something he'd do.
ratchetpokemaster123 ALL OF THE WRONG!!! Also he touches Madoka, Homura would reduce the guy to swiss cheese. She can stop time and has more guns then every 80's action hero.
This is Kratos we're talking about. He kills gods for a living, and he doesn't stay dead, even when he kills himself. That said, Homura could probably give him a run for his money with her ZA WARUDO and her Matrix-level arsenal. It'd be interesting to see how that goes down.
9:29 so I looked something up on google and turns out that Spartans actually were taught to read and write but for some reason they were forbidden to keep records so they didn’t really use those skills that much. So I guess kratos can technically read. And also the timing with the dialogue and the action at 11:03 was hilarious.
This was the game I played after I broke my arm, I had barely enough hand and thumb mobility to awkwardly grip the controller and man the left joystick with my messed up arm. Game is real special for me because it was the thing I could turn to when I couldnt do any of my normal hobbies.

Remember the first game when Kratos was like “Kill a God?! How am I going to do that?!” And now Kratos is killing Gods like they’re just regular people. It stopped being a challenge pretty quickly
The ending is in no way a selfless choice from Kratos and fits his character perfectly. He, in his final moment, decided to do the last "Fuck you" to a god. Athena wanted that power, but Kratos didn't give it to her
I would love to see The Completionist take on DMC: Devil May Cry - The Definitive Edition The much hated reboot of Devil May Cry doesn't get enough credit. The remake of the reboot has the standard game, all DLC story missions, the Bloody Palace challenge mode, eight different difficulty levels, and a Hardcore mode that further augments these. Concept art is unlocked through the modes and rankings, along with skins. It is a damn fun game and I think it should get more love.
I just had to leave this story I had with this game because it was just so memorable. So I have been a huge fan of this game since day one and played and beat all of them at the time until this one came out. I never played it when it first came out in 2010 because I didn't have a PS3 but one of my friends did and had this game. I didn't find out until later on and i was at his house one night so i decided to finally play it. I played and finished the entire story of this game ALL IN THAT ONE NIGHT. Definitely one of the proudest moments of my teen years.
The first time I put God of War into my PS4 Pro, I didn't stop playing until 6.5-7hrs later. I saw the sun starting to come out and I knew I had to stop for the night/day. I've never played a newly released game for that long of a time since Skyrim. GoW is sooooo good
The OG trilogy made Kratos to somewhat sympathetic antihero, to raging selfish brute who is willing to exact his revenge even if it will destroy the world. Then the ending tried to make Kratos seem like a good guy by literally giving hope to the world. Even though he's the one who literally destroyed the world without any remorse

Ascension was not a numbered sequel. And if you are going on those technicalities God of War 3 is actually 5 and Ascension is actually 6. Making God of War 4 really 7.
honestly jirard, we havent played this game, but this is definetly your best review yet. hilarious, extremely well paced, honestly, this is one of the best TH-cam video's we've ever seen. great job dude, just really, REALLY, good job man. absolutely entertaining and fun, thank you.
"with no one else to murder he turns the blade on himself" XD that's hilarious honestly it's so good, it's like he said "well everyone's dead.... except I'll show me" lol (I get it, he decided that his quest for vengeance was very costly) too little too late buddy, everyone's dead lol
Glad the large scale factor of the series hasn't changed in the new God of War at all despite the camera angle changing. The world serpent in the new game is an absolute unit, it's mind blowing honestly.
I LOVE the God of War Trilogy, hands down one of the most iconic and satisfying journeys to follow a protagonist on! I was IMMENSELY addicted and into the games. I loved the combo system, the weapons, skills/spells & the upgrades for them, I LOVED the executions which just made combat an even greater treat (especially with the tougher/bigger enemies) and I LOVE LOVE LOVED the setting & themes with the Greek Mythology. It was just one damn perfect sandwich to dive into. I was so addicted & into the game that I 100% all 3 games, all the challenges, hardest difficulty completed on all 3 and unlocked all the extras and rewards and it felt EXTREMELY satisfying. Now, I love me some action/beat em-ups such as Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, Darksiders and such, but the way God of War was put together, overall remains my favorite for the sheer passion and grandiose presentation of it all.
that final zeus scene where you mash circle in, I spent a full 10 minutes on, with the screen covered in blood, because I didn't know you had to stop mashing the circle button after a certain point
Now, one thing I always wonder with Completionist videos is what would be a reward for completing a game 100%? A secret cutscene I've seen Jirard say isn't worth the effort. So I wonder what WOULD be worth the effort. For a game like Kingdom Hearts, for example. The story is so large and complicated that it makes sense to have a hidden expositional cutscene.
I'd probably like to be the God of the Spark, the primordial power from which spawned the Lightning, the Sun, and the Fire. Very potent primordial power, it'd be the turning point for a lot of cavemen.
I just finished this game, after Nordic mythology saga. It was a good classic game, and playing GoW3 made me really appreciate how the studio revolutionized the franchise in 2018.
because he has a beard it's not a god of war game? I'd say that's incredibly fucking stupid, and it is, but the vast amount of changes to the new game are what differentiate it from being just another god of war. it's a new chapter of Kratos' world where everything is different. so it's not another standard god of war. it's a continuation of the story, but a deviation from the past. besides showing age and maturity, the beard has exactly dick to do with it.
One way I think they might explain his weapons vanishing... with the Greek pantheon all but destroyed...their power faded over the years (as SOME time has gone by clearly for 4) and while its clearly not ALL gone, they're overwhelming strength is gone, so his new enemies will outpower his old arsenal...
Glad to see people still recognize Kratos as one of the most evil characters in gaming history, because that bald son of a blade shaped gun is one cold hearted mofo
God Of War 3 is still the best in the series imo. the story and presentation in God of war 4 were excellent but the gameplay experience was a huge step back.
18:26 I just now noticed there is a bird in the stone. Being that the really only BIRD we ever saw in this series of any notoriety was the Pheonix. How the hell did I miss that.

I think OP was referring to the conspicuous staring at the camera that happened as he said it and after. It was clearly a pause that was intended to have meaning.
I really am not looking forward for the new God of War. I mean, it doesn't even look like a God of War game, it looks like a completely different IP with a main character that has Kratos' body paint.
Me neither. I think the Norse Mythology idea is brilliant, don't get me wrong. But I feel like the major changes to the core of the gameplay will start to negatively affect the game once it's actually in people's hands and the hype has died down.
i wouldn't be surprised if it isn't titled god of war at all because of the deviations from the previous games. it's a new story with a new play style so im thinking it will also have a new name.p personally I think it looks absolutely amazing because I actually got sick of the gameplay in the previous titles. it was fun but repetitive as hell.i love the way they are taking the series. it's better than what halo did. when the trilogy is done, move on change things up, and separate from the original story. halo just keeps plodding along doing nothing to separate the newer games from the original trilogy. it might as well have not been called a trilogy.
August West There are ways to vary up the game play between sequels without making a game that has almost no relation to the previous titles. I can't say anything about the Halo games, but look at something like Devil May Cry. All the games (even the absolute trash second game and the bog standard reboot) have the same basic game play formula and carry over concepts that exist in every game, but they do things like add more options for the player, make new characters, or add more combat mechanics that have depth so that they keep things fresh.
Battler not judging Ushiromiya But at least DmC still looked and played like a pretty meh spectacle fighter. This looks like The Last of Us with more melee combat.
You should get someone else to tell the jokes, while you can tell the story, gameplay and other aspects great, you are NOT good at delivering the jokes.
Sometimes his jokes make me laugh out loud, and other times they get no reaction out of me at all. He's not terrible at jokes, but his writing's a little weak at times.
That Vin Deasel joke was bloody terrible. Jirard is a great reviewer and like his FFVII videos showed, a great writer, but in terms of jokes and comedy, he is fucking atrocious.
I took on Chaos mode on the ps3 when It released. After many months and deaths, I finally made it to fighting Zeus inside Gaia so essentially the legit final part of the game. Could never pass it due to Zeus clones and lightning punches. So it taunted me forever that I couldn’t truly complete the game. A few months later, my house got robbed including my ps3 and all my video games so I never did conquer Chaos mode:(
The probem is that it looks they will sacrifice the identity of the series, to be some Uncharted/Last of Us wannabe. "OoooOoOoOOh Story, woosh woosh" It's like some great hack and slash game being dumbed down it's gameplay and try to be more story focused and end up being terrible. For me, if they keep it the way it is, God of War 4 might be a great bomb.
KeijiMaeda86 That's another thing, she's supposed to be literally the earth itself and I don't think she's supposed to be able to walk around like she does in the game.
+Jorge R (YoosRNaym) well there are another primordials who exist in god of war such as uranus who created universe during the war in god of war ascension.
If I could be a god I would be a god of games. Only so I could stop the stupid shit fest that will be God of War 4. How the fuck do you just abandon the spirit of a whole series just so you can make a fucking Last of Us clone. Yeah, I'm not excited for God of War 4, and look forward to it's inevitable low sales figures.
mate I know you've not got high hopes for the game. but ffs don't judge a book or game by their cover. but if your right then you realy are the God of games
Lazarou101 I'm sorry, how is staying true to the spirit of a series the same as making the same thing? Because it isn't. All I want is a game that allows me to play as a brutal angry god. God of War 4 looks like it's going to be "feels the game" with out any real reason to give a shit about the characters. Yeah, what a great game that's going to be... wait I'm forgetting something. I forgot to put the word "not" in that last sentence.
"Honestly, that's really freaking impressive" *video game bad guys show up* I'm disappointed we didn't get the Big Bad Bosses doing a thumbs up and hear "The Big Bad Bosses approve"
Actually there was an secret bonus for geting that platinum throphy on the PS3, if you unlocked it, it will show a secret adress to a website that teased the game "Ghost of sparta". Just wanted to point that out Jirard :)
It would be amazing if you could do a Completionist on "Knights of the Old Republic." It's generally considered one of the best games ever made, and features a great story with different endings depending on your choices, and a very surprising (but good!) plot twist near the end. Also, you get to fight with a lightsaber, which is pretty awesome.
I would like to be either the god of creativity, or the god of dimensions. Imagine that, you could go anywhere, and be anyone you wanted to be. You could make anything you wanted, just with a mere thought
Its not weird that he's stopping to read honestly. He's solved puzzles made by God's for years. He's not stupid his anger may make you think that and Lazer focus on revenge but he's definitely intelligent. Still beautiful in 2018 nothing I don't like about it and the remaster is cool but It's crazy it didn't really need it.

Every friday i put adblock on pause to view my weekly completionist dosis. Love your work guys!
Glad the large scale factor of the series hasn't changed in the new God of War at all despite the camera angle changing. The world serpent in the new game is an absolute unit, it's mind blowing honestly.
I LOVE the God of War Trilogy, hands down one of the most iconic and satisfying journeys to follow a protagonist on! I was IMMENSELY addicted and into the games. I loved the combo system, the weapons, skills/spells & the upgrades for them, I LOVED the executions which just made combat an even greater treat (especially with the tougher/bigger enemies) and I LOVE LOVE LOVED the setting & themes with the Greek Mythology. It was just one damn perfect sandwich to dive into. I was so addicted & into the game that I 100% all 3 games, all the challenges, hardest difficulty completed on all 3 and unlocked all the extras and rewards and it felt EXTREMELY satisfying. Now, I love me some action/beat em-ups such as Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, Darksiders and such, but the way God of War was put together, overall remains my favorite for the sheer passion and grandiose presentation of it all.
that final zeus scene where you mash circle in, I spent a full 10 minutes on, with the screen covered in blood, because I didn't know you had to stop mashing the circle button after a certain point
Me too I spent like 5 minutes on it until my brother suggested I just stopped pressing circle
The completionist predicted the new god of war
God of War 3 is awesome. But the new upcoming God of War game looks like The Last of Us. That's not a compliment....
Did u end up liking the new god of war?
shame on you
Now, one thing I always wonder with Completionist videos is what would be a reward for completing a game 100%?
A secret cutscene I've seen Jirard say isn't worth the effort. So I wonder what WOULD be worth the effort. For a game like Kingdom Hearts, for example. The story is so large and complicated that it makes sense to have a hidden expositional cutscene.
I'd probably like to be the God of the Spark, the primordial power from which spawned the Lightning, the Sun, and the Fire. Very potent primordial power, it'd be the turning point for a lot of cavemen.

You might be happy to hear that Vin Diesel has been approached several times in the past to play Kratos in a live action God of War movie.
Now from one Greek Myth game to another, review and complete Kid Icarus Uprising.

I just finished this game, after Nordic mythology saga. It was a good classic game, and playing GoW3 made me really appreciate how the studio revolutionized the franchise in 2018.
Kratos with beard, TIS NOT GOD OF WAR 4.
because he has a beard it's not a god of war game? I'd say that's incredibly fucking stupid, and it is, but the vast amount of changes to the new game are what differentiate it from being just another god of war. it's a new chapter of Kratos' world where everything is different. so it's not another standard god of war. it's a continuation of the story, but a deviation from the past. besides showing age and maturity, the beard has exactly dick to do with it.
+August West dude, it was a joking statement. pull your head out of your ass and get a sense of humor bruh
time-travel maybe? Or an alternate timeline...
Kratos's always had a beard
+August West
First off take your foot out your ass and second I was refrencing the thumbnail. Thanks for making me go back to this thread.
Awesome episode, Jirako! Thanks for your great videos, every week I'm so excited to see what game are you going to complete!
Its not his last hurrah though...
Shotana Studios yeah the creator even said this is not kratos’ last game
One way I think they might explain his weapons vanishing... with the Greek pantheon all but destroyed...their power faded over the years (as SOME time has gone by clearly for 4) and while its clearly not ALL gone, they're overwhelming strength is gone, so his new enemies will outpower his old arsenal...
Are you going to continue the Assassins Creed series anytime soon? I've been replaying those games recently and having lots of fun
Hope to god they remaster AC3 and Rouge.
***** Um okay? Why are you telling me this???
Glad to see people still recognize Kratos as one of the most evil characters in gaming history, because that bald son of a blade shaped gun is one cold hearted mofo
is he gonna do god of war ascension
Donny tofu One day he will.
Arguably my favourite game of the classic trilogy, with God of War Ragnarök being my favourite game of the modern era.
Easy platinum, got it yesterday.
Finallyyyyy been waiting for this one for a long time! Thanks alot!
In GOW 4 Kratos confirms he can read when Atreus questions if he can’t
God Of War 3 is still the best in the series imo. the story and presentation in God of war 4 were excellent but the gameplay experience was a huge step back.
The review was good, but the "Dad of War" joke wore out after like two times man.
All his jokes wear out pretty fast, mostly by the first time he says them.
18:26
I just now noticed there is a bird in the stone. Being that the really only BIRD we ever saw in this series of any notoriety was the Pheonix. How the hell did I miss that.
Kratos is now a beardman!
9:36 Santa Monica included the “I can read, boy. Just not this tongue.” in GoW2018 just for Jirard 😂
god of video games
God of War is such a great series man...
Let's see how bad Dad of War will fuck up Norse mythology
Sakuraba “THORRRRRRR! YOUR SON BEAT MINE UP AT SCHOOL TODAY! I WANT YOU TO ADMINISTER PROPER DISCIPLINE TO YOUR CHILD!”
Kratos is a deadly combination of might and puzzle solving mind.
Hope is a dangerous thing ... Hope can turn a man insane ...
Shawshank Redemption
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Athena turns into a busty green ghost in this game.. like afterlife made her healthier or something..
As a Fan of The God of war Series for year's Why not just put Both @TCCarson 👈 and @iamchrisjudge as kratos in the NEXT Game so we the Fan's can pick in the Game which voice we want to play as kratos this way Old and New
Fan's can play as there favourite kratos @corybarlog 👈this is there Twitter name's
wait a minute dude are you going to be an actually father?
He's already a dad. #BeardBros
no... he was refferring to the new game
I think OP was referring to the conspicuous staring at the camera that happened as he said it and after. It was clearly a pause that was intended to have meaning.
+JazGalaxy the pause was realisation of "wow that sounded a lot better in my head"
awesomex35 O_o he's reading script...
God of War, the best hack 'n slash games ever. Thank God it's PlayStation exclusive!
hi m8 do you r8 8/8 on this game?
no ... i h8 it
+EctoBiologist Same
+Awoken thank you=3
Dank maemae, fam
Brett in the background of the completionist is my favorite part of the completionist
I really am not looking forward for the new God of War. I mean, it doesn't even look like a God of War game, it looks like a completely different IP with a main character that has Kratos' body paint.
It looks like Skyrim.
Me neither. I think the Norse Mythology idea is brilliant, don't get me wrong. But I feel like the major changes to the core of the gameplay will start to negatively affect the game once it's actually in people's hands and the hype has died down.
i wouldn't be surprised if it isn't titled god of war at all because of the deviations from the previous games. it's a new story with a new play style so im thinking it will also have a new name.p personally I think it looks absolutely amazing because I actually got sick of the gameplay in the previous titles. it was fun but repetitive as hell.i love the way they are taking the series. it's better than what halo did. when the trilogy is done, move on change things up, and separate from the original story. halo just keeps plodding along doing nothing to separate the newer games from the original trilogy. it might as well have not been called a trilogy.
August West There are ways to vary up the game play between sequels without making a game that has almost no relation to the previous titles. I can't say anything about the Halo games, but look at something like Devil May Cry. All the games (even the absolute trash second game and the bog standard reboot) have the same basic game play formula and carry over concepts that exist in every game, but they do things like add more options for the player, make new characters, or add more combat mechanics that have depth so that they keep things fresh.
Battler not judging Ushiromiya But at least DmC still looked and played like a pretty meh spectacle fighter. This looks like The Last of Us with more melee combat.
I love this game so much. YOu did a great job putting this together man.
but beaared maen
I have that same God Of War themed PSP! So beautiful!
You should get someone else to tell the jokes, while you can tell the story, gameplay and other aspects great, you are NOT good at delivering the jokes.
But breadmen, who could that be?
BEARS!!!
Sometimes his jokes make me laugh out loud, and other times they get no reaction out of me at all. He's not terrible at jokes, but his writing's a little weak at times.
That Vin Deasel joke was bloody terrible. Jirard is a great reviewer and like his FFVII videos showed, a great writer, but in terms of jokes and comedy, he is fucking atrocious.
I took on Chaos mode on the ps3 when It released. After many months and deaths, I finally made it to fighting Zeus inside Gaia so essentially the legit final part of the game. Could never pass it due to Zeus clones and lightning punches. So it taunted me forever that I couldn’t truly complete the game. A few months later, my house got robbed including my ps3 and all my video games so I never did conquer Chaos mode:(
Am i the only one not feeling the new God Of War.
naw me too
looks so dull
same here, it feels way too tomb raider to me
The probem is that it looks they will sacrifice the identity of the series, to be some Uncharted/Last of Us wannabe.
"OoooOoOoOOh Story, woosh woosh"
It's like some great hack and slash game being dumbed down it's gameplay and try to be more story focused and end up being terrible.
For me, if they keep it the way it is, God of War 4 might be a great bomb.
It's funny to think of something being dumb down from a hack and slash, but yeah, Last of Us wannabe really hit the nail on the head
This thumbnail predicted the future because 4 years ago Kratos didn’t have a beard
Now I remember why I don't like the God of War series that much...why the hell is Gaia a titan?
She gave birth to the Titans. She is literally the Earth itself in the mythology. She is technically a titan's titan.
gaia is not titan she tell herself in gow2 if she is mother of earth
KeijiMaeda86 That's another thing, she's supposed to be literally the earth itself and I don't think she's supposed to be able to walk around like she does in the game.
+Jorge R (YoosRNaym) well there are another primordials who exist in god of war such as uranus who created universe during the war in god of war ascension.
This is a game where Helios is one of the Twelve Olympians (which he isn't). Gaia being a Titan is not the most ridiculous thing frankly.
Legitimately got so excited when I saw your shirt- I've got that shirt as well. And I never see anyone with one of the shirts I wear. :P
If I could be a god I would be a god of games. Only so I could stop the stupid shit fest that will be God of War 4. How the fuck do you just abandon the spirit of a whole series just so you can make a fucking Last of Us clone. Yeah, I'm not excited for God of War 4, and look forward to it's inevitable low sales figures.
Because we haven't got enough God Of War games and ripoffs of the series
mate I know you've not got high hopes for the game. but ffs don't judge a book or game by their cover. but if your right then you realy are the God of games
Yeah let's have it your way, let's make the same game for a 7th time.
Lazarou101 I'm sorry, how is staying true to the spirit of a series the same as making the same thing? Because it isn't. All I want is a game that allows me to play as a brutal angry god. God of War 4 looks like it's going to be "feels the game" with out any real reason to give a shit about the characters. Yeah, what a great game that's going to be... wait I'm forgetting something. I forgot to put the word "not" in that last sentence.
First 4 gow games are good
3 and 4 were awful should have been 1 game
as for what this one looks like not very promising but ill wait for reviews
"Honestly, that's really freaking impressive"
*video game bad guys show up*
I'm disappointed we didn't get the Big Bad Bosses doing a thumbs up and hear "The Big Bad Bosses approve"
For someone so rage fueled it's really surprising how good Kratos is at puzzles. Figured he'd get pissed and just start smashing everything.
I like you. I subscribe. I love your voice. and nice writing :D
I think I hit circle for 5 minutes straight during the zeus beatdown! He deserved every punch
just realized your wearing a kingdom hearts shirt. I need that one
Love you're videos, you deserve more subscribers
Kratos is now played by Christopher Judge, so I'd say him going up against the Egyptian gods would be a case of been-there-done-that. ;)
Actually there was an secret bonus for geting that platinum throphy on the PS3, if you unlocked it, it will show a secret adress to a website that teased the game "Ghost of sparta". Just wanted to point that out Jirard :)
That intro NEVER gets old! 🤘
The Goddess of healing, compassion, and punishment.
It would be amazing if you could do a Completionist on "Knights of the Old Republic." It's generally considered one of the best games ever made, and features a great story with different endings depending on your choices, and a very surprising (but good!) plot twist near the end.
Also, you get to fight with a lightsaber, which is pretty awesome.
I, too, would like to scream in Jesse Cox's ear.
Perhaps something like "YOOO IT'S JESSE COX WHAT'S UP YOU BIG FUZZY GINGER!"
I would like to be either the god of creativity, or the god of dimensions. Imagine that, you could go anywhere, and be anyone you wanted to be. You could make anything you wanted, just with a mere thought
The thumbnail predicted the future.
Everyone really just forget about Ascension
im so so so happy you made this thank you
One of the best console games.
