What was wrong with old Kratos? What was wrong with being a little edgy? Really, I don't understand why every character needs to be ""mature"".

GoW 2 > GoW 3 > GoW > GoW Ascension > PSP GoW >>> nuGoW

his wife's son disagrees with how he was back then

They never played the original games, so they just see it as Kratos de-chudifying himself

The worst part about these games is that "Kratos calms down and reevaluates his priorities" could've worked. In fact, it was the perfect and clear way to go after the last of the old games. But they handled it so poorly, changed the game too much, and turned Kratos into a stupid faggot.

I don't get why Kratos had to change, why couldn't he just be stuck in time like other iconic characters

Kratos wasn't a little edgy, he was an edgelord. And not every character needs to be mature, that's just the take they had for this new instance. Kratos still has it in him, but solving his problems by first using his mind instead of his fists is solid development for a character like him.

The PSP games were better than ascension

Normalfags are always looking for something to make themselves feel superior to their chosen strawman.

but solving his problems by first using his mind

But that's not Kratos though.

What's next, doomguy solving problems "with his mind"?

I only played the first hour or so of the first new GoW, I just didn't like the combat at all.
I loved the original series, do the new ones even get as brutal as anything in the originals?

Ascensions multiplayer was actually pretty fun though, so that's why it gets the bump above the PSP for me

do the new ones even get as brutal as anything

You already know the answer is no. The new ones felt like Marvel movies.

What's next, doomguy solving problems "with his mind"?

I don't think doom's story centers around him enough to make that development possible. That way I see it could be very awkward. Kratos has a personality since inception and remaining strong and deadly until the end, so I think it's way more apt.

I'd put 2 and 1 on the same pedestal and have them above 3.

I don't understand why every character needs to be ""mature"".

Said by manchild millennial that still lives with parents

GODS
we need to be better men
it's none of my business

What was wrong with old Kratos?

He killed everyone cuz he couldn't control his rage. The issue isn't having a scene acknowledging that Kratos was a very flawed individual, the issue is how preachy the execution is.

no, the soi of war games are tame as fuck with the gore. Feels very neutered in that respect

only muh normalfags do this

lol
lmao even

Nah, not to that scale but there are still several good kills.
First one has probably the most gory one with one of Thor's son, you hack him a couple times on the body during the uctscene and end up cleaving his head. Picrel, excuse the poor quality its a shitty screenshot from a youtube vid.
On the second game at some point you trap the arm of a boss with an exploding spear and since he wont surrender just blast his arm clear off, so again not as gruesome as Hades' or Hermes' but still fun.

He was legit insane and his writing got worse in 3 and he started "caring" about pandora out of nowhere, despite killing everyone in front of him. He had no honor, but was betrayed by not only Atlas, but most Gods themselves; so that's a reason why he went on a killing spree. That's what the series was about, killing things.

it's pretty funny that GOW1's plot was about Kratos becoming a better man but it's less preachy about it

it's unbelievable how much this absolute garbage redeems the old kratos.
was "throw the women into the gears to slow the machine" Kratos a likeable person? no, and he wasn't trying to be. was it too edgy? yes, but that's better than being a simpering bearded nu-male learning to act properly castrated in the presence of women and talking squirrels.

He killed everyone cuz he couldn't control his rage

So what?? Every character ever is flawed, there wouldn't be a game if they were all buddhist monks.

COOL! IT'S YOUNGER ME! By the gods, please, fuck my wife while I watch!

Its to alter your perception of masculinity using characters they know you are comfortable with. Youre supposed to be taken aback at his growth as a man and the complex nuance of lessons learned from the previous game and youre supposed to accept the changes being made under the guise of complexity and maturity. Thats the game being played, they are appealing to pseudo intellectuals with social engineering progapaganda just start calling it out directly.

this "inner" speech was severely retarded and undermined the character's self-thought process.

Buck status: BROKEN

you were always something more...

wrap it up gamers, he literally states that kratos was more than just a monster killing people

also the greece world survived somehow and Athena gets to seethe for eternity with 0 powers

Greece world needs to survive for the secret video in the first game to make sense

lol

"... a better man"

... for my wife's children

Kratos growing calmer and wiser it's genuinely the only direction his character could ever go. The issue is how they wrote it.

Alcohlic dads like this scene becuase they get to larp that they've overcome their "previous, damaged yet badass self" (read: fat, retarded alcoholic self) just like le epic kratos

Calmer

Wiser

You're mistaking those for apathetic and self hating.

a good character

a "good" character

People tend to confuse the two.
They also equate character development with said character becoming "gooder".

Kratos is directly responsible for the destruction of Greece and most of its people.

Kratos as a character literally only worked in the first game. 2-3 were bad.

kratos tries to kill himself after the gods play word games with him

they don't even give him the mercy of fucking dying

it was literally all their fault

Gow 1 as a self contained story works. It also ends in a way that really leaves zero room for sequels.

doomguy can't punch a demon because of bullshitium shield

instead lure i to an antibuillshitium saw and trick it to charge head on to its death

not everything needs raw violence
sometimes it needs a more creative approach

That guy you liked and grew up playing with?

he fucking sucks now and you should feel bad

Why do they always do this??

What was wrong with old Kratos?

Unfiltered 2000s edge and shitting on it while worshipping faggotry makes you "enlightened" in midwit masses.

It was normal for stories to have a seasoned warrior wanting a peaceful life for the next generations, now your brainrot is telling you its wrong as you bring up male suicide stats as a talking point against some male feminist.

was normal for stories to have a seasoned warrior wanting a peaceful life for the next generations

He wasn't a "seasoned warrior" you fucking idiot, he literally destroyed the world.

Seasoned warrior

Post a political assassin

Sure buddy.

Bad reading comprehension is another of your qualities. I never said "hero".

Ragnarok had decent ideas here and there, but the execution is very poor

"I will now blow this magical horn and start an apocalyptic war across all realms"

"The war that is won not by prophecy but being ready to sacrifice everything"

30 minutes later

"What's this, my son is upset that some Midgardians that Odin set up as meat shiled got killed?"

"Shit, we need to pull the breaks on this ASAP"

"I will now sacrifice my mighty legions and my closest allies to stall the world ending monster that I woke up to annihilite Asgard just to save the remaining handful of Midgradians shacks"

"This also means that I will have to risk my son's life, whom I treasure above all, to fight the most powerful deities of the pantheon myself"

"Yes, we must be better men" (they literally repeat variations of this phrase like half a dozen times in the last 90 minutes)

I just couldn't believe what was happening on screen at times, it was so retarded

Storywise they are trash. Good games, trash story.

Still less retarded than god of war 2 desu.

What about this one

He's a better man now, chud

a little edgy

Remember when he dragged an innocent woman around a level solely so he could use her corpse to jam a door open?

Kenshin is a turbosimp that abandoned his ideals completely because a woman touched his peepee.

WE MUST BE BETTER

I loved the original series, do the new ones even get as brutal as anything in the originals?

lol of course not. NuGoW is for mature gamers such as your now 30+ year old self.

strawman arguments? durr that's what the green text on this site is for

like this faggot lol

a little edgy

dude purposely murdered slaves and prostitutes and screaming civilians in ridiculously brutal ways
I don't think you ever played the originals
They were mid games at best

everything post 2012 is cringe
but the rot started in 2005 with reddit athiests

He was and his performance was more memorable.

His character didn't need to grow or go in another direction, he could have just been written out of existence after 3 which would make the most sense wince his tory was supposed to be akin to a tragedy.

yeah except even tho i like rurouni kenshin
the author is a pedo

should've done Journey To The West instead of Norse

The whole scenario makes no sense since Kratos would have gotten the fuck out of there the second Baldr showed up. But instead he decided to go on the journey to spread his bitch wife’s ashes.
