Old Kratos: "I killed many who were deserving... and many who were not!"

As a long time fan, it was crazy to see Kratos actually develop allies like Brock and Sindri through his son's openness, just knowing that any time Kratos comes across someone innocent in the old games, they were usually dead within minutes of their appearance lol

It made me audibly laugh when Kratos was scolding Atreus for letting his anger get a hold of him. But it also makes sense that Kratos 100% fully understands the danger of letting that happen.

@@ZeallustImmortal yeah, any time Atreus got too angry or started thinking he could do whatever he wants, I thought about how similar he is to young Kratos and how much that must upset Kratos, which is why he's so hard on him about it. It just makes the "we must be better" type lines hit different. That character growth is crazy lol

Athena didn't lie, she said his past would be forgiven and Kratos thought she meant taking his memories away.

Her intention is clear for us to see. She was just getting the work done. Of course Kratos couldn't understand it. I think none in his position would. She just played him with words or like a politician. Gods are no different than mortal beings. Just with some powers or abilities and promotions as a being. NOT PERFECT.

Exactly! For a gamer's perspective, watching cutscenes is good but for a non-gamer, a summary video/recap would have been better.

So glad you decided to check these out!! It is true that you necessarily don't have to know the other games in order to enjoy the 2018 game, but for me personally, its always better to know the full story so that you can fully appreciate the spin off and understand the references. Its a lot more impactful when you see his bandaged arms because of the scars the blades gave him, the reveal when they brought the blades back, and when he opened up to Atreus about wanting him to a better man than he was, just to name a few.

I really recommend reacting to the other games in release order and not just the three main ones because there's also quite a bit of information about Kratos' family in the other ones that are for other platforms.

All the games are Canon

You can see how the blades of chaos in the fourth one means so much for fans to reappear. The trauma of him having to use them again after you seen what happened with them

The god of war series is my all time favorite. All of them. So glad you're watching it.

Can't wait to see you guys eventually get to God Of War Ragnorok cutscenes, I appreciate you guys are willing to go through the rest of the series to get a grasp of the rest of the story to come

This is such perfect timing for all of us currently grinding the dlc. As we contemplate on Kratos' history, we get to see these two react to Kratos' history for the first time. Very satisfying!

The greek saga provides so much context behind kratos' arc

Glad you guys went back gives so much more context to the blades why he hides them and hides the scars on his arms as well as his pale skin and the fact that the story involves carrying his wifes ashes.

I had actually forgotten that Kratos' pale skin was the ashes of his wife and daughter. But I do remember how frustrating that second to last fight was protecting them. And technically, when Kratos asked if he killed Ares, the visions would end, Athena neither confirmed nor denied his question, she only said his "past would be forgiven."

That's simply what the Ghost of sparta is

I am so thankful that you guys actually listen to the audience and are watching this, It will be great for your understanding too to know the backstory. I really enjoy watching you guys react to such good video games. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Like I said it is a pure masterpiece. The story and storytelling, the music, the character design and development.. There is nothing much to talk about

U made my day 😭 thanks a lot for nostalgia God of war keep continue the series

I like how both of you are shocked bout how Kratos was as a character,which made that scene at GOW4 way heavy where after Baldurs death Freya cries to Kratos saying "...you're still a monster!" Then Kratos replies "then you do not know me"

This is the best God of War trilogy

12:47: Medusa does use a technique on Kratos to get him to turn to stone. The only way to avoid it is by dodging in whatever direction, so that she doesn't get a fix. I can't wait till you do God Of War 2 and 3 as well as Chains Of Olympus, Ghost Of Sparta and Ascension.

This put a gigantic smile on my face. Thank you guys so much for actually taking the time to watch the original trilogy (: you guys are NOT ready for God of war 2 and 3 🔥

yeesss. they've gone back! for some reason I was SO hooked on that 6 Part series and not seeing anything else for a couple days was hurting my heart

woop woop! thank you guys for going on this jouney :D

This is where the fun begins!!!! 🙏🏽💪

very happy you guys are doing this. Can't wait till you start the complete cutscenes from God of War Ragnarok. Also the timing is perfect because a new DLC just came out for GOW Ragnarok 2 days ago which you guys should also react to.

Seeing those cutscenes give me so much nostalgia...those games were my whole childhood and im so glad the old games are a centerpiece of the new dlc that just came out

Loved the reaction! It's an amazing trilogy.

6:11 Kristen be like: "This is getting out of hand! Now there's two of them" ;D

This is what I am waiting for 🙏🙏

You should probably react to Chain of Olympus or Ascension after this, as those games take place before god of war 2 or even this god of war 1. Also biggest disrespect from the gods, "Well we are not only gonna refuse to simply remove your nightmares you always have after 10 years of service but we also gonna deny you to suicide so you must live more with the nightmares" XD

Subscribed just for this

Ladies please watch “God of War Ascension from the ashes” trailer. YOU NEED TO SEE IT , Please ! 🙏 upvote this so they can see.

absolutely fell in love with this game when I played it when it came out

Dang I just picked up that it was Linda Hunt narrating there! Miss bad ass Hetty Lange!!

Now I know some people are already saying react to the other games in release order, but I personally believe the best order to to understand Kratos and why he is the way he is. After this game you should do Acension, then Chains of Olympus, those two games takes place before his final task in Athens, then it's Ghost of Sparta, GOW2, and GOW3. Then you are all set for Ragnorok, and Valhalla.

Sad they won't watch the Ghost of Sparta, Chains of Olympus, and Ascension. For me, watching all of greek saga are so worth it.

Also don't forget to watch the prequels cutscenes. Ascension and Chains of Olympus takes place before this one and Ghost of Sparta takes place between 1 and 2.

these are great

Ah heck yeah! I was hoping this was coming.

You need to react to part 2 and 3

Nicely done, ladies!

55:00 Kratos keeps his blades because they are bound to him, both physically, and spiritually. They are a part of him, and thus travel to the afterlife with him.

Thank you so much for listening to the comments and going back and reacting to the original games. Technically, Jaby was correct. God of War (2018) was a soft reboot of the series so you don't have to know about the original games to understand the story (for the most part). However, as someone who has played the games, I will say you miss out on a lot of the context, as well as the emotional impact of the story, if you don't know the struggles of Kratos' past. You guys had so many questions about why Kratos hates the gods, why he is so afraid to get close to his son, etc. All of those questions are answered in the original games.

43:38 Yikes! That would be most unfortunate! 😭😂

One of the things i absolutely loved about the older GOW games was just the variety in weapons and magic, you could use for combat that i felt was lacking from the newer games. Still loved them though can't wait to see your guy's reaction to gow 2 my personal favorite of the franchise.❤

I think it’s important to have knowledge of the Greek storyline if you really want to understand and see Kratos character development over time which is phenomenal to be honest so glad that u guys are checking out the old games now👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼.

This is gonna be fun!

Cant wait for the next part reaction....

Yessssssssssss I'm here for this

YESSSSSSSS WANTED THISS

8:45 made me chuckle

yo, that boatman gave nostalgia. he was talked about in the ragnarok valhalla dlc

Just to let you know there's 3 "side" games that takes place chronologically before and after this first game. They are called Ascension, Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta. They are worth checking just because they show more of Kratos' family and "human" side. Those 3 side games gives more explanation to why he snapped, before it goes to 2 and 3 where he goes to the deep end and becomes rageful and "kill all gods" mode. So G.O.W 2 and 3 are the last of the Greek saga

2005 was a wild year for games, i only remember playing Unreal Tournament 2004 and Quake 4 singleplayer tho. oh and GTA San Andreas lol

OH THANK GOD (of war) they are finally reacting to the original games before Ragnarok! They should’ve started with this from the beginning!

Next to watching the other GoW games before GoW Ragnarok, I recommend watching the Valkyrie missions From GoW 4 since they weren't in the video you watched and they are kind of important to GoW Ragnarok.

53:28 The most epic throw in history 😅 I love it. In newer games he still bears the scar

Buddy you are wrong here Those scars are due to blade of Olympus which Zeus stabbed during GOW 2 or 3 I guess

God of War 1 & 2 are my favorite GOW games and the only ones i have played.

I feel it would've been better if they reacted to the God Of War Full Story Of Kratos Complete History by Game Clips. As it's covers everything in an organize engaging movie like way. But I'm glad they're doing it all 👍👍👍

It is not shown in the cutscenes, but in the Temple of Pandora you can see a fresco with the prophecy that Kratos will fight Zeus and that Zeus did not do it, but chained his father Kronos to wander through the desert, ordered the architect Pathos Verdes 3 to build a temple hiding a box (he and his whole family died in this temple), sent Titans to TartarusAs a result , his fate is predetermined , as predicted , including the Oracle

"he killed his family", he's not even close to being done killing his family at this point

Watching this after playing Valhalla is a trip

55:00, you need to watch the trailer for Accession, there scene with Coliapy, Kratoeses daughter, it is so beautiful AND tragic.

pls cover every god of war game it would be a great fun for you and us all

7:15 - On this game main head heals theirself and other heads which eyes. Kratos dastroys Hydra's eyes and the main head and after that others head are explodes

Still got the wrong order I'm dead😂 The order is :God of War Ascensio,God of War Chains of Olympus,God of War 1,God of War Ghost of Sparta,God of War 2 ,God of War 3

He was enslaved to Ares Will, could not really disobey his orders, as they Also say that his humanity was taken away and Ares filled him with rage. The god of war Ascension game which takes palce before this, goes into how he tries to become free from Ares Will and become a free man. While in god of war 2018(4/ps4), Kratos tells a story to Atreus of a horse and a hunter. The horse(being Kratos here) sought vengeance against his enemy but could not kill them alone. The horse met a man who was the hunter(being Ares) and made a deal. He took the hunter's bridle and allowed him to ride in a saddle on his back. Together they killed his enemy and the horse tasted victory instead of defeat. But the hunter would not release the horse and made slave of him.

I remember buying this game when it came out I want to game stop and bought and when I got home I don't stop until I finish it I played it on the hardest difficulty it took my a while I miss the original voice actor for Kratos is name is Terrence C. Carson ... The new voice actor he's ok but nothing is like the original 😊.. keep up the great work much love from Hollywood C.A

Greek Kratos is a Beast with a heartbreaking story and background.

27:50 - This weapon is op. It really can replace the Blades of Chaos. I saw the walkthrough with this sword

I love how the first thing they say when they see Aries is “he’s a ginger?” lol.

51:00, pretty sure that was the Architects WIFE!

Yes, I want you guys to check out the entire content, Now its about to happen.

5:05 😂 old kratos doesnt care about anyone but his vengeance

Man it mustve been too long since ive played gow, cause i definitely dont remember talking to the gods on the walls

The tone and themes of each Saga is very much a conscious choice. The Greek games were full of violence, nudity, and tragedy to mirror the mythology it was based on. The Norse games reflect the mythology as well, which is why you don't see nudity and the violence is toned down as well.

Finally 😂❤ The full saga.

7:44 that’s what I like to hear. OG Kratos bout that action. 11:29 yes it’s wonderful

The person who voices Poseidon is Fred Taitiscore. He has been voice acting for many years he has voice characters such as The hulk Sullivan Grundy gorilla grodd bane and a couple of characters on invincible he even voiced drax and what-if series and many many more

Yes!!!!!

This is a good place to start hopefully we guys are done I hope you guys get to start on on Ascension and chain of Olympus that is the beginning of the whole story I won't say anything else but enjoy the ride

LESGOOOO!!!!!

12:50 - In this game Meduses can turn Kratos into stone only with magic lights from eyes that you can avoid

God I hope this means they’re going through all of it. PS4 is a level of masterpiece rarely seen

I'd also recommend to watch "God of War | Raising Kratos | "Making Of" Documentary" its a really interesting look into the behind the scenes of how God of War (2018) was made! It's super good if you're into documentary style videos!

Now That’s what I’m talking about now this the kratos I grew up with

OMG YESSS!! You guys cannot understand the new games until you see what happened in the past games. Don’t let anyone tell you they aren’t all connected lol

"Athena! You dare conspire against me!"

One of the best games ever created.

After this series of gow you guys can also react to PoP series a classic

God of War 1 on its own is a very neatly put together tragedy. While yes Ares is dead, Athens is saved and Kratos is now the God of War he is now simultaneously cursed to be haunted by the memories of Lyssandra and Calliope's deaths for the rest of eternity. Despite how brutal he is in the game you genuinely feel bad for him and understand where he is coming from even if you don't condone his actions (which you really shouldn't).

Please react to the in between games that take place between each game of the series to get the full story before moving onto ragnarok because ragnarok has a lot of reference to those in between games as well

just to clarify that the voice actor for the old god of war games(GOW 1,2 and 3 ) is not the same voice actor for the recent GOW games (GOW 2018 and GOW Ragnarok) It may be obvious but just an FYI

LETS GOOO
