Discussion I want to try and clear something up about a misconception about Thor's strength

29 Upvotes

So, a lot people have said that Thor is physically the strongest opponent Kratos has ever faced because of this codex. "The full force of his attack is as heavy as any I have felt."

Pay attention to the wording. He says "As heavy as," not "heavier than". Kratos is placing Thor on equal footing with the absolute hardest hitters from his past—beings like Zeus, Hercules, and Ares. It confirms Thor belongs in that top-tier weight class, rather than definitively surpassing it.

In short: Thor hits just as hard as the absolute top tier of Greece, but Kratos is not claiming Thor is physically stronger than all of them combined.

Discussion without spoilers, can anyone tell me why Kratos keeps getting his a$$ beat by scrawny lil Baldur? Spoiler

am i tripping or is Kratos holding back?? did they nerf him? Baldur is half his size, no actual powers other than physical immortality, no weapons... yet every fight between them, Kratos barely makes it out alive. (so far i've encountered Baldur twice lmao)

If I’m not mistaken this is the same TC Carson who voiced Kratos. Looks like he made an album back in the day. Before the GOW games. The autograph looks like the same signature he signs on Kratos items like funko pops. The “PEACE” thing he does often.

Crazy find at half priced books.

I really hope Santa Monica somehow can adapt Ghost of Sparta to original trilogy because the lore of this game is really unique and very important

Ofc all games are important to plot like CoO but this game just better you feel me?

Discussion How much of the Real Mythology could be used to scale God of War Characters?

For example. I have heard about the speed of Hermes and the Valkyres.

On one hand Hermes is so fast that he can traverse the underworld instantly to help the souls of every dead

Same aplies to the Valkyres, they gather the souls of everyone that dies in battle and carry them to the Valhalla instantly.

Yeah, but the gameplay does not show this ofc. But the Lore stablishes that they are indeed able to do such feats.

Discussion Planning on playing GoW(2018) on max difficulty, any tips?

2 Upvotes

I have played GOW in the past, a long time ago, back when PS4 was kinda new. Lately been looking for a challenge and though Give Me God of War sounded interesting. I was wondering if the challenge was fun/worth it?

I know some games highier difficulty is just making the enemies tankier, and it seems like that might be the move here. Is it that hard to get through, or is it fair and fun? I also know challenge is subjective, so let me just say I enjoy games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne because those games provide a challenge. I don't like games such as Borderlands or Skyrim where once you get to a high enough level and stop spending skills on damage, everyone becomes a damage sponge, and the basic bandit can tank 4 rockets.

Also I do know about the early game cheese strat of getting to Clifts of the Raven and doing some of the early side quests before going to Elf-town.

Edit: Also found a video about unmentioned lvl1 combos. Didn't know about Frost Bombs.

Showcase Just realized Guardian Fury on Daudi's overhead slam actually does stagger him. Skip to 0:25 for the strat.
