May be better to hold off on the criticism until after the game has launched and we know what the story is?Ezekiel said:They really should have given it a new protagonist. It's the stupidest thing ever, Kratos taking on the Norse gods after he's killed all the Greek ones. I'm so sick of stories going way beyond where they should have ended.
Which create the next question:stroopwafel said:Redemption? Does that mean Kratos is no longer angry? *gasp*
Though I guess it's only normal even for Kratos to grow mellow in his old age and wanting some peace and quiet as his testosterone begins to drop.
To be fair, we don't know much about the story, so maybe Kratos don't need to kill all gods in Norse mythology.Ezekiel said:They really should have given it a new protagonist.

So, like Scion?SweetShark said:To be fair, we don't know much about the story, so maybe Kratos don't need to kill all gods in Norse mythology.Ezekiel said:They really should have given it a new protagonist.

Also the concept of Gods only affect only specific places nase of their influence, is glorious!
Now we need to see who is THE GOD OF THE GODS!!!
I don't know about Scion. I will check it later.Mangod said:So, like Scion?SweetShark said:To be fair, we don't know much about the story, so maybe Kratos don't need to kill all gods in Norse mythology.Ezekiel said:They really should have given it a new protagonist.

Though I gotta say, if the ending of God of War III [https://youtu.be/BUw2j45HqlE?t=2m33s] is supposed to be a localized event, I think I just might die of laughter. The water levels have risen to the point where the Balkans are all completely submerged, except for a few mountaintops. Are you telling me if I travel far enough into to the north, there's just gonna be this f***ing vertical wall of ocean rising up over the border between where Zeus' influence ends and Perun's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perun] begins?

Come on, guys. Be honest, here. You know it's another helping of 'Kratos kills everybody' again. I'm with Ezekiel on this. They should've given the MC spot to Thor, the REAL god of being-very-loud-and-dangerous.SweetShark said:Story
Oh, man I'd love to see a whole slice-of-life/comedy sketch on that. Like a fisherman going on with his life, and finding the ocean after a limit starts to rise like an inverse waterfall, and in the distance there's a huge thunderstorm of magic as Olympus is ravaged and he's just like "bloody greeks gonna drive all the fish away".Mangod said:So, like Scion?SweetShark said:To be fair, we don't know much about the story, so maybe Kratos don't need to kill all gods in Norse mythology.Ezekiel said:They really should have given it a new protagonist.

Maybe Kratos already cut his f*cking head off and took his son. This will be hilarious if something close happen.FalloutJack said:mardocOz said:StoryCome on, guys. Be honest, here.

Yeah. The CliffsNotes version is that the old religions (Egypt, Greece, Norse, Japanese/Shinto, Aztec, Loa) are all real, and joined forces long ago to defeat the Titans. After sealing the Titans away, they went about their business, spawning new gods and demigods.SweetShark said:So Scion is a PnP RPG from a second look I took?

I'm thinking they're going the route of "Kratos will create the Norse pantheon" storyline, given some of the stuff in that gameplay trailer. Odin is the Norse God of War, Thor is his red headed son, who has an affinity for lightning (which the kid demonstrated with his bow), and Odin is a grizzled old dude with a beard, constantly worried about "what is to come next" ie. Ragnarok.Ezekiel said:They really should have given it a new protagonist. It's the stupidest thing ever, Kratos taking on the Norse gods after he's killed all the Greek ones.
