God of War 2 Is A Masterpiece

As a Greek I can confirm that Hades is the laughing stock of Olympus, that place is so goofy I've escaped it two times now

"Honestly, a mistake, Prometheus. That fire led to the creation of Twitter. You deserve the punishment" is one of the quotes ever

"I'm ten times the gamer I used to be." Steers directly into projectiles, walks off multiple cliffs

"Drain all your power into this weapon, that's how you will reach your full potential" It's surprising how Kratos fell for that

God of War 2 is indeed a masterpiece, especially the ending, since it hypes up God of War 3 so much

I love the old god of war trilogy and it holds up so well

Kudos to that Spartan dude. The guy fought Kratos like no other, and after taking the blade of Athena to his gut he had the energy to give a lot of lore while dying. Edit: blade of Athena

One thing that I always loved about Kratos is his flagrant disregard for everything to do with fate, destiny, and the Gods. Even in the new game it's all on show in full view and I love it so much.

Just realized, Zeus said “the cycle ends here” before killing kratos which is exactly what kratos says before killing whatshisfuck at the end of the 4th game

Charlie: "I'm just too good at quick time events to be honest". Also Charlie: Fails first sex mini-game button prompt immediately

Kratos was so “stupid” in the original trilogy because his rage and hatred took over all rational thought he could have

My favorite part is when Kratos says: “I’m gonna love and thunder you Zeus.” Truly a cinematic revolution.

I can't believe Charlie never played 3 and I can't wait to see him play through it. One of my all time favorite games and series in general

31:07 I love how he remembers that ship captain but not the barbarian that almost killed kratos and literally started the entire storyline 💀

I can't believe that the other gods shunned Kratos for actually doing his job as a god. It's so on character for the greek deities, honestly.

Every time the collosus’s theme song comes up, the lyrics in Greek are basically saying “Crush him colossus, save us”. Kinda like the people of Rhoades are praying for help against Kratos

God of War 2 perfected perfection. They made these, sort of, minor adjustments to the combat that when adding up, improved the combat IMMENSELY, and made GOW2’s combat one of the most rewarding in gaming ever. GOW3 has too much focus on offense, and Ascension came very close to GoW2, but needed more feedback from defensive plays. But oh my, they could make a million games that play exactly like GoW2 and you bet you I would play them all.

So happy that Charlie is playing the God Of War series now, can’t wait for him to play #3

Just a reminder that the God of War series is like 16 years old and still holds up really really well to this day. There's still a crap ton of mythologies to explore also so the series obviously isn't going away anytime soon.

Original trilogy is best Gow 1 for story, adventure, environment and level design. And idea of kratos fighting his clones and hugging his family to transfer his life into them is beyond thinking and narration of gaia makes u 10x more immersed in story. The way kratos was sitting on throne in end was so badass Gow 2- improved gameplay, better bosses,good story. Cliffhanger ending makes u so hype about gow 3. Gow 2 is the perfect sequel. Gow 3 - killer graphics and sick boss fights. Qte are some of the best in the whole gaming franchise. And when kratos and zeus are engaging in the battle of strength inside gaia's heart for blade of olympus, The Qtes, soundtrack everything is godly.
