>even bothering with spoilers

>>14653737

>his son wants to transform into a lady

Game "journalists" sucking this game's cock makes a lot more sense now.

So nuke the world or your son becomes a tranny.

Does anyone care? Is it even worth spoiling the ending for normalfags? I dont think so.

>>14653769

Microcosm of the west

I DECLARE ASGARD SALT PARTY

>>14653737

Who is Fey?

>>14653737

What is this .gif from? It looks cool.

I like how this game is half a decade late to the gruff bearded dad moviegame bandwagon.

>>14653811

If I had to guess, it's Saint Seiya.

>>14653782

It already came out, there's no point in it. Everyone who reviewed the game has seen all the cutscenes from their favorite let's play and are already sucking it off.

>>14653769

>>14653768

Spot on!

>>14653803

Kratos' wife and Atreus is his son, no wife's son meme. But the anon's above found something even funnier.

>>14653811

>>14653822

Saint Seiya Tenkai Hen ~Overture~. The final movie before they made the OVAs with Hades. The guy is Apollo and he's about to erase the universe because Athena dun goofed.

Got any webms of the ending?

I don't give a fuck about GOW but normalfags' salt is always good.

Bump.

>>14653737

Well, fuck this shit.

>>14655843

Oh, webm and download if you want, fucking cliffhanger bullshit.

>>14655952

>posting Omega shit

>>14655833

Yeah, fuck GoW amirite?

The original trilogy are better fucking action games than Bayonetta is. Get fucked.

>>14655982

Bayonetta is a good game, but is marred by recycled bosses and environments, weak enemy variety and fairly shallow combat (vs say DMC or NGB) and 1/6 of the game is basically two mindnumbingly boring vehicle sections.

>>14656050

>pic related was never good.

FTFY

You niggas should read Gods of the Ancient Northmen by Dumezil.

>>14653737

tl;dr to save you on mythology Kratos is the jötunn (most people know them as frost giants) father of Loki and the kid he's protecting is actually Loki.

>>14656141

>kike star

Dark Vader has yiddish rambling on his costume by the way, weeb shit is better than kiked shit.

>>14656111

looks like they took inspiration from DmC 2013 with the otherworld thing. Also they're trying so hard to be on par with hollywood movies it hurts.

>>14656189

Anone stop teasing me to post c i n e m a t i c webms

>>14656223

Did someone say

C I N E M A T I C ?

>>14656223

you already learned how to make webms, may as well get started and make another

FUCKING WHY

>>14656296

It's like i'm watching a shitty Zach Snyder movie. This blows.

Is it natural to not want to even watch webms of this shit?

>>14656431

>shitty zack synder movie

>shitty

>zack synder

Let's not be redundant now. All his movies are shit. :^)

>>14656443

Touche.

>>14656440

I like how this faggot prattles on about feeling nothing but everytime he's hit…"ARRRGH!!"

>>14656438

>>14656440

What the fuck is this shit? Wheres the game play?

>>14655952

I like Saint Seiya, but from an objective standpoint it really was never that good.

It's got basically zero fight choreography, with every single battle iin the manga justt being panels of a charater doing a pose punch, the other character being knocked into the sky/the ground, and then MUH COSMO

I miss the old narrative where Kratos was straight up the reason there was no gods in the modern day and that was that. That was the entire plot, the rest was just meat on that frame. He went from land to land destroying religions.

>>14656981

And, you know what? I could see that being very justified. Most religions had their gods be absolute assholes, inflicting terrible punishments for the slightest of infractions. Hell, the whole tragedy of Oedipus only happened because Apollo gave a self-fulfilling prophecy through one of his oracles. Kratos getting pissed at every god ever, for being egotistical assholes that treat humanity like playthings, would have been a narrative I could get behind.

>>14655843

oh shit, it got nuked already

>>14657350

>Kratos

>Spartan

>like 500 degrees in the winter

>an ice giant

they're pulling a giant ass pull after ass pull (somehow Kratos teleports to Midgard and then somehow spawns Loki in order to have a bad case of protagonist centred morality) just to have some plot hooks for another trilogy? goddamit

>>14653777 (checked)

I laughed but now I'm sad

>>14657411

Also checked, it's too funny to be sad tbh Anon. Besides, how can you not be joyful knowing all those types of people will die in the next decade or so?

So you're tasked to protect the faggot that will kickstart the end of the world while being antagonized by the god of summer, described as being the wisest and fairest of gods who emanates light by pure virtue of character but happens to be a asshole meth head here.

They should give this game a X rating for how hard Norse mythology got raped.

>>14657576

Or when some kids were making fun of an old man, so Yahweh spawned bears to kill them? Old testament Yahweh is not the demiurge and Jews worship a literal fucking demon

>>14653769

>Dad, I wanna be a girl

>No.

< -100 Karma

>>14656440

So, you fight Jesse Pinkman while reenacting the Jeane fight from No More Heroes 3 times? Is this the final fight? Doesn't seem like you even do anything different from a normal enemy to win. Just mash attack to get to the next phase.

>>14657915

it's not the final fight, it's supposedly pretty early into the game, but sadly I don't have much more yet

>>14657779

Moloch?

>>14657876

Kamiya himself looked at the success and made a tweet wondering if maybe this is the kind of treatment DMC needs to stay relevant. So it's actually not that farfetched at all, so get ready for that shit.

>>14655952

The best anime. Too good for it's own sake.

>>14655972

Whenever greed takes place everything good turns to shit.

Not even Glorious Nippon is safe from this.

>>14656050

Western entertainment was never good.

Even japanese trash is superior to all western products.

>>14658010

A loli would be superior. Though BEING the loli yourself is the best. Loli on a dinosuar Platinum game never ever.

>>14657893

More likely a cutscene berating you for your bigotry and a gameover.

>>14653777 (checked)

That statement hurt anon.

>>14656380

Wow, the Blades of Chaos lose all sense of spectacle from that angle… And this person doesn't know how to play video games.

Also. HULK SMASH!

>>14658213

I remember reading someone's fan idea once of a more interesting plot that was basically boiled down to four things.

>Kratos goes to Norsetown to find peace in death

>While there, he finds some feral kid living in the woods who becomes his son

>Kratos eventually dies trying to protect his new feral boy

>The kid swears revenge, taking up his mantle and becoming who we'll recognize as Fenrir

From the commercials and teasers, I would have thought Kratos' kid would have become Odin. You know as some sort of cosmic irony.

>>14658528

Intentionally creating an imperfect species just so they can figuratively suck your dick, and then punishing them for being imperfect, is more than a bit assholish.

>>14658568

I

WANT

to cum on that forehead.

>>14658595

>in order to compare two vastly different epistemological and theological worldviews.

Are you not doing the same thing by equivocating God in the New Testament to God in the Old Testament? Both were written by very different people with very different interpretations of the kind of guy God is. Excusing Old Testament's God with the actions of New Testament's is like calling original trilogy Luke Skywalker a dick because Disney Skywalker tried to kill one of his own apprentices. The New Testament is basically Old Testament fanfiction that a lot of people decided to treat as canon.

>>14658568

no you don't understand he

TOUCHED

the external hull of the ark, thereby depriving it of the holy poo it ought rest in.

>>14658528

>If the arc fell into slimey mud it could be cleaned.

God would rather his holiest of holy artifacts fall in Ox dung and mud than allow a human hand to touch it, having no compassion or understanding of the context of the guy just wanting to help. Nope, fuck that, he has to die. Again, even David thought god was being a dick, and it says so right in the fucking scripture, but I guess you know better than David, right?

>Poor guy, you could barely make it to Genesis 3…

A perfect creation wouldn't have been susceptible to being tempted in the first place. And the guy is painted as being omnipotent, so it's not like he didn't know this was going to be an issue when he created them. And it's not like the free will issue solves the puzzle either, since the temptation was pre-fall. They had no knowledge of good or evil, so they literally had no concept of why what they were doing was supposed to be wrong in the first place - they just had an arbitrary directive. So god knowingly failed to make a creation that can even follow simple directions, and then blamed them and all their lineage forever with moral culpability for an act on an issue they didn't even comprehend the morality of when they did it.

4,000 years of apologetics, and all believers have to show for it is spin doctoring. Hilarious.

>>14658657

And, even if free-will was to blame for their falling to temptation, that means that free-will is inherently imperfect, to begin with.

>>14658796

Epic gif bro! Seth Macfarlane is sooo funny lol!

>>14658796

Well, one would assume that's why you have to be judged worthy of heaven, to begin with. It would filter out all the people that would commit sin.

>>14658822

But nobody is sinless, except for Jesus (which is kind of a cheat since he was supposed to be god in the flesh - and sin is basically going against the law which eminantes from god - so Jesus would have to act against his own will in order to sin). Even Peter, the rock of Christ's church, was a regular source of disappointment right up to the end when he cut that servant's ear off.

>>14658796

I'm convinced that the Christian "heaven" is actually just oblivion with all the religious trappings being designed to trick you into accepting it. The only way it makes sense is if your soul becomes one with God, no longer being a separate entity with its own will. All of the subservience and Gods will bullshit is designed to ready you for this by getting you to suppress your own will in life first.

>>14658924

>>14658796

I don't get why people would think that Heaven is a evil dictatorship. The doctrine filters all of the useless desires that you don't need for the happiness that you have with God. Entertainment is fun, but it's not necessary for you to live. If you look at entertainment, then you'll see that plenty of people complain about it. Does anyone really want unfinished SJW microtransaction plagued SJW games in heaven?

I wouldn't say that they're not brainwashed, they just adapted to God's rule and remained happy with it as it's objectively right.

>>14658963

If everything you don't need is "filtered out" and the only thing you need is God, then it follows that my interpretation is correct.

>>14658963

It's not "evil", per say, but it's definitely a dictatorship.

>you'll be happy, but only in the way I say you can be happy, and you have no choice in the matter

It's like lobotomizing someone, basically. It's "ignorance is bliss" turned to an extreme.

>Another thread that could've had cool discussions about different religions and mythologies gets derailed by soy-chugging fedoras that forgot they aren't on reddit

Christianity is not a white religion

It's an african one

>>14659201

Even when considering complete retards like Maher and Gervais, this has to be the single stupidest thin anyone has ever said regarding any religion in the history of mankind.

>>14659172

We are robots. We're genetic scripts responding to stimuli.

Why did they pick Norse instead of eastern mythologies?

Marvel meme or because Shiva and Kali would push Kratos' shit in?

>>14659201

Thanks mods, though I thought we were all esoteric Tricknologists on this board who believed that white people were made by Yakub to fuck up other africans.

>>14659228

Because Eastern mythology is fucking gay.

>>14656111

What the fuck is wrong with Kratos' voice?

he sounds like he has been drinking soylent.

>>14659228

>because Shiva and Kali would push Kratos' shit in?

In reality, yeah the absolutely would, but also because Norse mythology, like Greek mythology, is a "White people" religion. Anything else would be problematic.

>>14657350

>there's a reason the anime is far more celebrated in games rather than the anime.

I knew what you meant but I chuckled.

>>14656438

This "cinematic" garbage is even worse since it's so boring to see as well

>>14659128

>You're missing the "glory of God indwelling" bit. It's not just some special relic, dingus

It IS just a relic, and that it served as god's physical dwelling on earth in the interim until the Temple of Jerusalem could be built is incidental. Funny how he can wash the sin from man's soul with ease, but the finger-prints of a sinful man on his chalice is somehow unacceptable. A man who was just trying to help, likely even reacting out of reflex without even thinking, yet he gets the same punishment as idolators would lay hands on the ark and worship it as if it were god.

>What dung? The ox was walking, they were traveling.

Yeah, along a road. The roads were full of shit in those days since animals were the primary method of transporting goods from place to place. And most roads are merely human adoptions of pre-existing game trails. Not to mention the fact that dirt and mud literally IS dried out shit and decomposing biological material mixed in with silicates and rock.

>OH WOW NO FAIR GOD WHAT ABOUT CONTEXT

It is fairly odd that mankind can think in terms of context, yet the all-knowing-all-powerful creator of the universe can only handle binary.

>the term used here in most translations

>In my very rather specific translation of an ancient book that has had at least 2,000 years worth of apologetics and translations made specifically to coincide with those apologetics of their times and even outright admitted interpolations.

I still think the all-knowing all-powerful creator of the universe could have come up with a better solution than sicking bears on them. (though it was kind of funny)

>What, you think you're worthy to judge God?

Dunno, I've never met him, nor had direct revelation. I've only ever read things about him that other people wrote but claimed were his words. And I think I'm worthy to judge those people.

>A perfect creation wouldn't have been susceptible to being tempted in the first place.

>Says who?

A perfect creation by definition would not be susceptible to being corrupted by sin, unless it was created specifically to be corruptible by sin.

>Wrong; they had received revelation from God, had direct fellowship with Him and knew that He literally warned them that if they ate of the tree they would die

They had only an understanding of Yes and No, not the knowledge of the concepts of good or evil. They weren't stupid like cats - but had no idea that disobeying god was bad or why it was something to be avoided, it was just a directive. Why is disobeying god bad? Because you will die? Oh, but the serpent said that won't happen, and that god will be ok with us after the fact… so is it really any surprise why they would be so casual about breaking a direct command?

>God had a plan from the foundation of the world to glorify His name in the creation

And that plan, from the beginning, entailed all of the wars and famines and suffering and tragedy of the human condition as gris for his mill to create some future promised perfect world or paradise for humanity in heaven. If you assume that you are going to heaven, then are you really ok with the conditions that brought about the paradise you'll enjoy? You don't feel the slightest tinge of unease at the cost of such a reward? Is it a case of, "fuck them, I got mine"?

Or do you respectfully hand back your ticket and suffer oblivion or hell, because a paradise built on countless deaths and suffering of mankind - even innocents in all but original sin thrust upon them - is too high a price to pay.

It's a nu-God Of War thread, this is better than it deserves. Why aren't people out farming spoilers everywhere and posting the resulting cornucopias of butthurt? At least then there'd be something interesting to talk about.

>>14659363

To be fair, there wasn't really much of a topic anyway.

>>14659363

>Kratos son just screams tranny right now.

Wait until the second game has a time skip and you see Kratos riding in the next cutscene on a multi-legged magical horse. It'll be so subtle that he's riding his grandson.

>>14659524

Mark my words, journos and twitter fucks will be praising it when the Kratos' son "comes out". They'll probably turn the fucking horse into a furry.

>>14659537

How about Asura's Wrath?

>>14659537

I am not sure if Kratos even calls him "son", from the vids I saw it's just "boy".

>boy, let's move

>boy, come here

>>14657576

>>14658796

>>14659549

Oh wait a minute! WAIT! Asura's Wrath was one of the first games to have it's ending be DLC. I remember now! It was this one and FF13-2 that did that. Screw AW.

Asura himself is pretty neat, though

>>14659592

Asura's Wrath is what a God of War dad game should be like or at least close to it.

>>14659511

This is the biggest issue with the bible and christians. If you try to fix the issue yourself you will be punished for it, and if you do nothing, you will be punished for it. Their solution to fix it is to hope it is whisked away with a little prayer to the great invisible man. The lack of action or pushing to action is what makes the bible sound ridiculous. At least the other religions knew that in order for change to happen, men had to make that push for change. But of course, all the other religions got pushed out thanks to the jewish rat hordes.

Reupload, everything is predictable and everything you do is Dad and Son bonding.

>>14660015

Bad game and narrative mechanics, you don't teach him shit, you are told to teach him with game prompts, that lazy nigger Cory Balrog and his Daddy issues.

>>14656247

Of all the guys they had to pick, they just had to pick the gayest sounding one, didn't they. Do these people never listen to themselves speak? They all have this extremely feminine soy voice that's really faggoty when juxtaposed right next to Kratos' deep masculine voice. And the stuff they praise isn't helping either. Praising how great it is that this new God of War game is a "whirlwind of emotions" now. Something they can get "emotional" and teary-eyed about.

Give me a break. I know that masculinity is nonexistent at the ign headquarters, but faggot-sounding reviewers like these are still a fucking embarassment to real men everywhere.

>>14659511

Those were some high quality posts, anon. I, for one, appreciate them. Not enough people recognize the justice part of God I think, especially when it comes to the extreme examples of it (Uzziah, the tabernacle killing impure priests). Thanks for the reading material.

polite sage for offtopic

>>14660051

I think daddy issues are the key to this game's acclaim.

>>14658969

I think the idea is that being that close to God is like being on every type of drug all at once x 10! forever, or something like that. Like a fun vidya so good you forget to continue living like a normal human being.

>>14659603

I heard it was because they planned to do a sequel, that didn't happen because of poor sales, so they sold what they had as DLC. It was bone-head marketing that billed it as buying the true ending.

You know, the commercialization of Norse mythology and the western obsession with Loki reflects upon just how fucking degenerate the west has become. Loki was a fucking idiot who always fucked everything up, was a tremendous faggot who had a thing for playing woman’s dress up, made everyones life fucking awful, and constantly stirred up shit for no other reason but to entertain himself. Loki is literally that one slut who loves to get two simps to brawl it out in worship of her pussy. He was a pathetic asswipe, and was recognized as such up until christendom reached the north. Lo and Behold, every single fucking millenial jumps to suck this piece of shits cock because he is such a terrible, autistic fuck up just like them. He embodies the very things millenials hold dear to themselves. I guess that it would only make sense that every disgusting fuck of Gen Y starts drolling over this game when the son suddenly comes out as the biggest faggot known to the Gods. Thor, get the chariot, its time for a thunderstorm in Jotunheim.

>>14660079

It was mostly the Revenge angle and how far Kratos would go for it, but goddamn, after David Jaffe bowed out, there was always a chance of Cory Balrog fucking everything up by adding their original plan of Patheon Extinction but with the added dose of his experience as a Father, all of his Developer interviews keep highlighting his bonding with his kid, this is almost That Dragon Cancer levels of pathetic marketing.

>>14660140

Was talking about reviewers. All those 10/10's for such a fad-pursuing game.

>>14660181

Oh that, really comes to home they get shekels from Sony and they can relate with being a pansy like Atreus, and their daddy issues come to play with playing as Kratos with more emotional baggage being shown, the game dumbed down even further with the Walk and Show Simulator, and fuck what they did with the Blades of Chaos.

>>14658200

Definitely better, but then we had God of War 3 which pretty much killed everything and made GoW 1 and 2 redundant with the "Pandora's Box made the Gods evil!(er)!" and Athena's death in GoW 2 and return in the third game.

>>14660491

>Kratos being one of the three wise men

I can buy that

>>14660491

I can get behind that plot. It certainly would be better than downloading Kratos to Midgard (do we even know how he got there?) and sire his tranny spawn (shocking twist "good guys are actually bad guys" ahead?).

>>14658838

Remember that even Christ succumbed to wrath when he went apeshit when kicking all the merchants during the Cleansing of the Temple.

>Didn't the creator of GoW say he wanted the series to go this way? Kratos killing every other pantheon in new games?

That could have been interesting if it was not the 3 other mythology staples of either a)egypt b)norse or c)japan though usually japan is done by japan for japan which is why I give it a pass usually

I want to destroy the aztec or the indan pantheon, which actually has a war god of sorts dammit

>what is righteous anger

:^)

Actually, now that I think of it, I'm not sure if Jesus actually said anything about it. I always took it for granted and never bothered to look for it.

>>14660569

That's a bad idea if I ever saw one.

>>14660619

"And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple"

"and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves"

So much for a figure of peace.

Now, for real, that was a simple commentary, I don't know if that event is later referenced as a mistake, serving as a way to explain and represent that if you suffered from anger, you can atone for it and be redeemed or something like that

Hey hold the phone, assuming this is real (I saw the ending posted here yesterday and it's not clear about the whole Loki thing, that timeskip and cliffhanger is so fucking awful) and Kratos's wife's son is indeed Loki, then how does the world serpent exist when the serpent is Loki's son? Am I missing something here or did they rape the mythos this hard? I'm legit curious if wife's son is actually Loki or not because it sounds so unbelievably stupid that I believe it's real.

>>14660677

And the christians come in to defend their belief. Remember: The differing justice of a god and justice of a human is like comparing the justice of the rich and the justice of the poor. It's all about justice for their kind. And any other comparisons that christcucks make are contradictory to hilarity. At least the older religions contradictions make sense due to their polytheistic settings.

>>14659128

Really, all that need be done here is assail these few points.

>God had a plan from the foundation of the world to glorify His name

>Man's autonomy is not the central focus, however; God is

Why? For what reason? Both why has he decided to do this ever, at all, in the great black void of nothing before him, and why has he decided to self-fellate? By what right? What sovereignty does he have in any true sense, save naked power, which you would decry as a model for men upon the earth- but ah, that's different, because of 'sin,' which is technically unalike to evil? Do not say, 'because he has created,' because the creation is more than capable of being dissatisfied with injustice or the insensate, was made to be so capable, and more than capable of divorcing itself as far as possible from him by these justifications, actively decrying him- do not repeat scriptural doggerel of 'you can't judge 'god' because he said so!'- while yet living virtuous lives, but still stained by the petty legalistic mark of 'sin,' A/B, 0/1, is-is not, no pass go if is, and doomed by it. And so Dante had to do Gods' job for him, and envision the virtuous pagan as essentially unpunished but set apart from the saved, in spite of their largely having no chance to be otherwise than they were because there was no one to evangelize Him in their midst, or to evangelize with enough effect. And why does he need Chosen and evangelizers, when He can present himself in full at any moment as he pleases? Why use intercessors? Why bother with the complications and story-telling farce?

>God neither created nor directly intended

As the sole definite deterministically-influential tripartite omniscient-omnipotent-omnibenevolent actor, how? There is nothing that he does not directly intend, because it is all his. Unless even you recognize the chink in the armor.

>God gave Christ in sacrifice

And? As he created the necessity for the sacrifice, what does this mean? What happened to the Son is a great tragedy, to be sure. But if they are indeed a separate substance that all-is-God but not another, that means that Jesus is a sockpuppet who is cursed with the horror of self-awareness and nominal separateness. And otherwise, he is just a sockpuppet for 'god,' and so his sacrifice is meaningless.

It's not that 'god' is a jerk or anything that petty. It is that he is one of two things; inconceivably and unworshipably alien, as man to ants though the gap in character of mind must be closer between man and 'god,' or else, he is far too human and from a very particular position of transgression. That of authorship.

It isn't that I myself am necessarily wiser, juster or more good than god. It is that he certainly cannot be moreso than me at best, or than even the deepest and vilest human being conceivable, since his is the hand that made them. In the alien case, weighted down by the fact that he either cannot have true moral value or slant, as any brute beast, because he is not Man. Where the beast lacks faculty, 'god' has an excess that makes him morally irrelevant at best or abhorrent at worst. This model is simple, and needs no further explaining; the incomprehensible is incomprehensible, and irrelevant, and those who would give themselves over to it are fools with traitors' blood, with a mercenary morality at heart, swallowed up and obscured even to themselves in delusional 'savior' evangelist altruism. And in the man-author case? He is stained by sin, because it- the world and all in it- is his human-alike, egoistic artifice. The product of his vanity- explicitly- to glorify His name.

Man and Earth are a novel in this model, a film, verse or prose, an object of masturbatory entertainment or preoccupation where he can indeed unconditionally love all within no matter what he does to them in the same fashion as we would regard characters of fiction, even the imperfect or abhorrent, with similar love; it costs us nothing to bestow upon them after all, for in that context we are omnipotent, and inclined to omnibenevolence given half a chance and half a mind. And it imposes no consequence upon us if we destroy them, so we will do that, too. But if these things live, breathe, think, if they are that they are once ink has left pen, on what ground can one justify to subjugate them for ones' own purposes in this fashion? Or to hold usurious debt over the basest substance of their eternal, immortal supra-lives, forever, never to be granted freedom or succor, only to be forced to nape of breast and slaughtered if they pull away? To scribe a universe of jester chattel, and a story of free will where the fates are written in stone, either literally and completely ahead of time by the Calvinist model or effectively in his almost universal non-intercession in the unraveling events of the physical and metaphysical laws laid out, is that a worthy act?

>>14660787

If merit cannot come from the meritless, how then shall the meritless come from merit, sin from the sinless, not-God from God? Either Man is infinitely irredeemable and God alike, or Man is infinitely redeemable with no do-not-pass-go points or does not need redeeming in the first place, and it is all puerile, incarnating play-acting that he or we say otherwise. I am not an atheist. I am well aware that there must be a living rootpoint to all things, a Logos, no matter what monstrosities it abides by that exist between it and Man and in the margins. The firmament was regardless better left blank and rudderless; it must be made blank for all parties eventually, and then be party to none. That is the only true end of sin, good, evil, the lot of it. The only thing preventing this peaceable end to the inane clamor of everything is the vanity and lust of those consciousnesses that dare to create, to author, in their struggling and gripping with the realms immediately about themselves, in attempting to actualize towards any goal, even that annihilationism described just prior.

>after Calvary He saves maybe three people aside from the apostles to show His mercy. He doesn't need to go further than that, even if that much, yet He does for thousands of years of countless lives transformed and saved. He doesn't need to do this. He desires to do it.

He desires to do it. As in his glorification. You turn on and consume yourself within moments, unable to see it. I am not in awe that He would choose to save a handful from his artifice out of arbitrary, masturbatory altruism, from his position of total sovereignty over all matter, even though he did not have to. I am in awe that he would choose to damn the rest, and before this to conspire to see them wrought as damnable in the first place, either in the purely legal sense by transmission of original sin, or in contriving a world where they will become evil, even though he did not have to. I am in awe that fools, yearning for transcendent ideals, will bend over backwards to justify farce that has the appearance of them, no matter if marked by the taint of an enseated heaven and its hypocrisies.

Any explanation is wanting. He is wanting. His love is a lie, or else an abhorrent and decadent thing born of a sickly mind, without any of the gravity and tragedy that sinful man would lend such a sentiment in his limitations, though these limits are accursed even as they make Man more than his maker; why on earth would you love him in turn? It has more value that you love him than that he loves you, infinitely, and this enrichment is not in his mind, because he is not as he proclaims. You are gelding yourself that you be shackled to the celestial equivalent of a semi-dumb AI gone rampant, possibly that and no more or possibly as mere avatar to a mind just alike to yours, merely of greater scope and clarity, and even that is in qusetion.

You are being sung to sleep in death, and awake to sing his praises for eternity, when ever it could have been otherwise. But he didn't want it to be. All is to glorify his name. It is better to glorify sinners, and only the best of them, to then smash, crush, burn, flense, flay and scourge, to utterly destroy the worst of them and those between to preserve the better, doing all that we can do and in the utmost fanaticism with our limited means and scraping comprehension, than ever to glorify the putrid hand that cursed them with this mark called Sin and the breath of life that made it possible. It is better to be condemned to the worst tortures. It is better to be ended outright, forever, in the second death, the only evil and regret being that all others and he issuing the sentence do not follow. To be redeemed by that hand is to be less than human, because all that gives gravity is lost in the climax of a story without point and without variance thereafter. To be redeemed by that hand is to be raised up to the seat of God, who is less than human, and indeed lower than beasts, and you made to be all the lower than he for subordinating yourself to such an unideal thing.

DId Jaffe say that? From what I remember the original narrative was that Kratos kept being the God of War and was better at it than Ares since he was the reason WWI and WWII happened and beyond, with GoW being the search for his brother who is now an agent of Chaos and other primordial entities.

>>14660491

What >>14660116 says is quite close. What happened was that cc2 pitched essentially a really brutal action game with contectual qtes(think Yakuza's heat actions) and the episodic structure of an anime with each stage being an episode full of action and boss fights. Capcom was impressed by their work on the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm series and how their gameplay could fit such an action title and impressed by the boss fights. All well and good except :

1.)The project had to be in Unreal Engine 3. This fucked shit up majorly since UE3 is utter shit on consoles and for anything else beyond FPS. But the japs were experimenting with the artistic capabilities of UE3 at the time(Killer is Dead is another that comes to mind using it for artstyle purposes) and had to neuter gameplay heavily from what it was originally envisioned to be like(video releated). Worst thing; I dunno if this was a Capcom mandate or cc2 chose the engine for some motherfucking reason. Probably a capcom mandate given how they chose SFIV to look at the time and were looking for similar artstyles, since cc2 had experience with criware engine and how to mold it into such an arena brawler.

2.)The original plan was to make at least two games or a trilogy to end the "main story". Then, the series could have more games as it went on if there was demand. Thing is, due to UE3, development was fucked and a lot of gameplay ideas were scrapped, budget was already small(we know about Capcom and the Tsujimotos) and the public did not respond very well to what was there. cc2 was already hot on work for the second game before the game was properly published and sales tanked. So Capcom cancelled the series but in order to not let the assets go to waste they made the "True Ending DLC" which was an altered and compressed second game that would be made of equally if not more episodes and have new mechanics into what we got. The PR was a move to save Capcom's ass but it instead blew harder in their faces. Needless to say, Matsuyama and his cc2 gang didn't help with the True Ending's ending of re-incarnation and Asura getting ready to reawaken his powers in the modern world.

And that's the semi-tragic tale of Asura's Wrath. It could have been Capcom's animu Ryu Ga Gotoku with cyborg hindu gods instead of ex-criminals.

>God is a construct that humans made to 'make sense of the world' There is no might behind it, only the people that push it, thus is only superior only because the people want it to be.

This perspective you have makes perfect sense because it is impossible for man to describe God to themselves, let alone another person. The way many Christians explain God is through the manner as if he is dead: he is unable to speak for himself and needs me to justify him. However, what they don't understand is that doing so is a subtle way of exalting yourself, by taking God's place.

John 14:6 says the following for a reason: I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Those words need to be understood literally. Human beings have free will and I cannot force you to do anything.

So how does this explain God whatsoever? It doesn't. I am far too inadequate to enter his presence, yet he surrounds me with his love and grace everyday without fail. The only thing that a Christian can offer a nonbeliever is their testimony. They cannot bargain God for you because any attempt they make will be selling him far shorter than his glory requires. We are physically unable to express the words that can encapsulate his glory: they don't exist.

So, how can man be saved if we are not only far too inadequate to describe him but also not worthy enough to enter his presence?

Matthew 19 includes a story of a rich man asking Jesus "what good thing must he do to gain eternal life?". Jesus responds by telling him "why do you ask me what is good? There's only one who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments."

After the man enquires of the commandments, Jesus responds: 'You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honour your father and mother,’ and ‘love your neighbour as yourself.'

The rich man responds “All these I have kept. What do I still lack?”

Jesus then says something that stuns him: Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

It says in scriptures (verse 22) "When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth."

Jesus tells his disciples "it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" and that "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."

Naturally, the disciples were stunned: "Who then can be saved?"

In verse 26, it is written: Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

All in all, I write the entirety of that passage because it details something important. Only God can save men. The reason why people come to know Jesus and are born again is because they had a personal experience with him, and through that, their sin was revealed and the desire to repent and confess with their heart that Jesus is Lord and their saviour. Bear this in mind because that is their testimony of how someone comes to faith.

In order to become a Christian, you need to have a personal experience with God. It cannot be through any source other than the son, as it is written. There's a lot more I can say, especially about ministry and evangelism, however, I felt it was necessary to keep this fairly simple.

The Black Saints were in the manga. As they were the very first main enemies, it did not bother me. also, "Can't Say Goodbye My Friend" playing in the Dragons fight made everything worth it in that arc.

As for the Steel Saints, they are filler characters made to sell toys, and they broke the plot a lot. Those, and any other filler character were the main problems in the first season.

As for Seiya, he is more like a plot device than a character, yes. The good plot and good characters are all the secondary ones. At least Seiya only fights in the beginning and ending of the main arcs, while the secondary characters shine in their own way. It is way better than other shonen anime where the main character is overpresent, to the point that everything revolves around him even in the secondary fights.

>>14657350

Exactly. The combination of assets from the anime made it incredible. The animation and special effects for most battles in the classical series made up for the lack of choreography in the manga

The movies was made in between the Hades OVAs. The first 13 OVAs were made, then the Movie, then the rest of the OVAs.

That is one of the many reasons that fans hated Toei and Kurumada in the 2000s. They were all unfocused and greedy, to the point of starting new sagas in the animation without finishing the ones already started before.

It further proves that god is a construct because the books were written by men who 'claimed' to hear the voice of their god. It's ultimately an exercise of power to keep people in line. Hell, the most recent example is the mormon cultists and the story of Joseph Stein's 'only read from a closed hat' crap they pulled off.

If there's going to be a social construction of a religion to push, there needs to be something that elevates humanity, aka 'rising beast' and not the 'fallen angel' that the jewish religions love to use.

>>14662013

Egyptians did the retainer sacrifices to follow the pharaoh, that I do remember, so I am wrong about that, maybe far ancient greece had it? It was banned for a long time on their side, but the greeks did conqu\er neighboring areas like the Minoans and twisted their religions and then incorporated into their own (The Minotaur). I didn't mention Meso-american religions because they did plenty of human sacrifice.

You'd have freedom in heaven, if you stopped Catholics from praying to Saints. Those catholics are really seflish. Whenever they pray to one of their pagan deitie… I mean catholic saints. They actually force them to pray for them from heaven.

>>14659172

I like the intepretation that free will is a recognition of someone as an independent moral agent.

Like determists would say that in a simplified way we are just rocks and rolling down a hill, once pushed in that direction.

But it's more complicated than that. A rock doesn't have internal thoughts. We are capable of very elaborate thoughts and thinking about what we would do in completly made up scenarios.

That's why Humans have free will. It's not a religious concept for me. It's basically the equvialent of being sapient.

It would be curious to know if some really low IQ people can be thought of as even having a free will.

>>14665885

Do we have to wait until the end of the game to hear Kratos calling his son "son" for the first time?

Wait where is the gameplay ?

>>14666205

>watch the first fight

>all those things that could happen organically happen instead in cutscenes

Now I feel like a GAMER(tm)

>>14666371

A combination of Dark Souls+Last of Us without any challenge, the Diablo loot system is artificial padding where there's not much variety with fighting the bosses again, it only makes you transition from combat to auto-matic QTE then to cutscenes faster, it's pretty sad.

>>14666348

Disregarding the game and the fact that I did not watch the video, I love the idea of the first boss being the last boss as long as it is fleshed out.

For example, since the first boss is usually tutorial tier, you'd expect the last boss to be that and more, as in, applying everything you learned so far, including the tutorial, in order to defeat the boss, while the boss is unforgiving and deadly.

Then again, since this is NuGoW, I don't expect that to be the case.

>>14666397

It isn't the case. Baldur fights literally the same way as his first boss fight, only difference is that you have Atreus to help you out. I am kinda bummed out he doesn't look different like in that pic I saw posted in a previous thread.

>>14666397

It's not thematically "The first boss is the last boss" a la Murai in Ninja Gaiden nor is it like "Vergil 3 times", it's the same fight with different QTEs and "story bits".

>>14666205

>>14666397

Other than the first part of the Ragnarok prophecy is done with Baldur the Edgelord getting killed, now the GoW 2 is gonna come with Thor dying along with Jormungdr, then the last game has Odin getting his last eye out, there's no fucking poetry other than pretty much predictable.

>>14666447

This. The thing with God of War other than the shitty gameplay was how the story developed in really cool ways for Kratos to take revenge on the Gods. Sure, it used mythical references and settings, but it wasn't a fucking retold of the story everyone already knows so far. It was just a guy killing gods out of rage. The worse part is, it doesn't even take the mythology right.

>>14666481

Not rape, just plain obvious shit that people were counting on, like that kid being Loki and the first plans of where the franchise would go with Kratos killing all other pantheons, means he's the direct cause of Ragnarok along with Kratos there means it's gotta be about Ragnarok, can't wait for the timeskip in the second game where Kratos "dies" and Odin raises the Godkiller's and Giantess' son.

Jesus Christ what a fucking… I don't even know what. They took norse mythology and then built in it a story that, when not being batshit insane, is "bad guys are actually the good guys" twist. Anyhow, it seems very contrived and I have no idea why people praise it for the story; it doesn't make any fucking sense, but it's ok because it makes you feel?

>>14666628

>why people praise it for the story; it doesn't make any fucking sense, but it's ok because it makes you feel?

And daddy issues, they really can write shit when there's daddy issues in it.

>>14666205

>as hard as these fucks fucked Norse mythology.

Norse mythology was already fucked. Loki getting fucked and impregnated is a prime example of this.

Having said that, it looks pretty standard for a gow game. However, why on earth would they use Baldur as the main antogonist? Why make the boy Loki? It would have been better for Kratos to have just found the boy one day rather than making him his actual son. Making him Loki is just going to cause all sorts of problems. Freya was also a major slut and why drag Baldur's name through the mud when he's supposed to be a really nice guy to the point that he emits light?

If they didn't want to make Loki the villain because of the Marvel movies, they should have just used ice giants, dwarves or moved the setting to Egypt.

The whole story seems pointless post-gow3. It's become another soap. Kratos killed all of the gods besides Athena, and essentially reset the world. He got his comeuppance for all of the death he caused while tearing the old world down. If they wanted to make a new gow game, they should have left Kratos in the past and created a new protagonist to fill his role in the norse mythology.

>>14666587

>That example

Kill yourself. That game killed the whole franchise and Code Veronica was miles better.

>>14666562

Anon sometimes the reason some of those games have that camera is to limit FOV to save on performance and since this new GoW is big on graphics it makes sense.

>>14666830

>The whole story seems pointless post-gow3

No shit. Only 2 games worth playing and they are nothing to write home about except maybe some laughs.

>>14666902

Then they should have paid more attention to gameplay than graphics.

>>14666211

>Having the kid speak

Oh my fucking god, why does nobody complain about THAT? Child actors need to be gassed.

>>14666830

Because in their mind gods are already assholes and villains by the second GOW. Them fucking up mythologies isn't something new, though people forget that GOW1 wasn't as fucked mythology wise due to the whole "Ares is a spoiled, whinny, fuckwad CHAD-brat with his mother's temper and the rotten brains of his father that starts war and since he's a god he became the God of War" and the gods often slapped him around and if mortals felt the bitch was getting out of order they would slap him about or tear him a new one if they felt really angry.

The retarded thing was that instead of Kratos dethroning he could kill him which beat the whole purpose of Gods of ancient greek myhtology; Gods being immortal and indestructible humans with an X-Man super power that fit them and a pride and ego that was so overinflated even Vegeta would tell them to calm down. It's why a lot of myths have people slapping the shit out them and wiping the floor with them without some mighty magic shit. The whole thing about Greek Mythology was : "the one who is on the right / on the side of Justice and morals will win, be they mortal or divine being". It's just that more often than not humans had hubris thus their kill count rose in terms of quantity but whenever a mortal was right, the damage they would do to the God(s) were that of tremendous quality to the point that if the gods dared to act like jelous pricks, it would come back to bite them spectacularily in the ass later on.

>>14666917

The reason I don't mind the changes done to the Gods in GoW is because GoW was it's own story based on the greek mythology. NuGoW is basically the ragnarok story, the most popular nord myth, retold with Kratos in there for some reason.

>>14666926

>We wouldn't have DMC though if the original-original RE4 plan went through

What is insulting is that RE4 was the mainline while Code Veronica was considered the spin-off when that doesn't make any fucking sense. If it was the otherway around, maybe mainline RE would have stayed the same and it could have lead to more spin-offs like RE4.

That doesn't change the fact that both RE4 and the original plans of DMC are not fucking RE.

>>14666830

>Kratos killed all of the gods besides Athena

and Aphrodite

to inconsistencies you can add the fact that Baldur has invincibility spell on him, which is broken by a mistletoe, even though there's no reason for it to do so (mythological reasons were different).

after watching gameplays, I feel like Atreus should've been older and less of an arrow dispenser

>>14666914

I agree but tell that to the reviewer guys. Is like every single one of those fucks is still so insecure that they care more about games being "recognized" by people who don't care about them than actually, I don't know, caring for games to be fun.

>>14666974

>Athena being a ghost makes no fucking sense, I have no idea why they chose to bring her back, just have some other stupid deity try to control Kratos and get rekt for it.

Her ghost also looked retarded.

>>14666974

She comes back as a ghost.

>>14666986

His point still stands, Kratos did in fact kill her.

>>14666986

I still believe that was supposed to be a deceiving phantom; if athena could come back there's no reason for me to believe the other gods couldn't come back; She was stabbed with the sword that supposedly seals away godly power, which kratos has been using since the beginning with several redesigns to smite gods. Ares would have been back immediately in 2 or at least lingering in 3 if the gods could just do that.

>>14666991

He did technically kill her, but then she went on about being reborn and influencing mankind after gow3.

>>14667063

She was a bit pissed that Kratos was about to strike her down again and she pulled the blade out of his chest. I don't know why the other gods didn't do something similar, but it seems that she didn't have her full power anymore? She tried to get it back from Kratos before he releases it to the world.

>>14667084

It's never explained, and it kind of shits up the whole point of the sword, and make you go on anoter fetch quest. GoW 3 was unnecessary, should had make ghost of Sparta's 2 and then combine 2 and 3, so that 2 doesn't end in a cliffhanger, and Gow 3 wouldn't drag so much.

>>14666941

The reason RE4 was due to time limits was it not? After OG RE4 became DMC and new RE4 plans started we got that demo of spoopy mansion with Leon in it but something or another, the engine or the hardware couldn't make an entire game out of it etc, so they opted for something else.

Essentially after the Tony Redgrave plans of Kamiya became their own thing, Mikami wanted something that was classic RE but with the psychological horror and environments of Sillent Hill except it was hallucinations of a virus that Leon was infected with instead of metaphysical shit.

Unironically kill yourself for reducing an enemy race to ideology. Tacitus wrote about these fucking people and how they despised everyone better than them.

I'm glad they respect Western Culture as much as we respect them and even make games using it. They make a lot of shit natively dubbed in English. Doesn't count though. ;^(

Movie time, and as expected, it's pretty fucking shit, even Ascension was better than this.

>>14669095

I prefer lazy storytelling and mid-development changes when Stig Asmussen took over, the story went to the bullshit excuse of "Pandora's Box made the Gods Evil(er)!" and making Athena return pretty much killed her death from the last game, just like Halo 4 to Halo 5 when Cortana Dunham was revealed to be back.

>>14669316

>and mid-development changes when Stig Asmussen took over

wait what? was he not in charge since the start of 3's development?

>>14669334

Play or watch the whole three games, there was a consistency on where the narrative would go, it went to shit by GoW 3 when people would stop getting distracted by the technical giant boss QTE or graphical shit, especially the Gaea Face-Heel turn, but when you have, and Cory Balrog was the director first 7-8 months of GoW 3 development till he felt sad that without David Jaffe and the others, he quit and gave the job to Stig.

>>14669095

>ergo, it was Greed that kept her alive, just like Fear almost kept Zeus alive

She did have a green aura, so that could work. I do wonder where she fucked off to? Humanity was given hope and Mount Olympus was gone at that point. I'm surprised they didn't include in the new gow game somehow.

>>14669334

Play or watch the whole three games, there was a consistency on where the narrative would go, it went to shit by GoW 3 when people would stop getting distracted by the technical giant boss QTE or graphical shit, you'll notice narrative inconsistencies, especially the sudden Gaea Face-Heel turn, the retarded return of Athena. And Cory Balrog was the director first 7-8 months of GoW 3 development till he felt sad that without David Jaffe and the others, he quit and gave the job to Stig, so the Trilogy was pretty much mishmashed of ideas

>>14666205

Modi and Baldur's second fight doesn't even count as a boss fight, it's just cutscenes.

No fucking gore, even on the last boss.

The game has 8 hours worth of cutscenes and it only delivers 5 boring bosses, Fuck this game

>>14669345

But she does appear in God of Soy. I actually really enjoyed this cutscene, and you can almost feel the pain Kratos fells when he touches the blades, that it is something he didn't want to use or remember, but it's something he has to do, in order to save his son(I think, don't know why he needs the blades). Then Athena comes, and calls him a monster, to which Kratos tells her, that he might be a monster, but at least he is a free man, and not her puppet, then he slowly walks out of the house, the blades erupting in flames, and you know shit just got real, but then the "gameplay" starts, and you are reminded what a shitty game it is, how fucking awful the camera is, how slowly he moves, the fact that he doesn't jump, it's GARBAGE.

>>14669316

>The comments on that video

I hate normalfags. Seriously any video that points out why it's shit gets attacked by shills and retards claiming it's the next masterpiece.

>>14671663

An npc yelling about every enemy behind you could be avoided if they just pulled the camera away a bit. Not letting Kratos jump into the air just sounds really dumb when he's been able to do that since forever. It would be like if Nintendo decided that Mario needed to stop jumping except in cutscenes.

So apparently while Gamefaqs blasted the game to hell and back as it was the case, like with Dynasty Warriors 9 and the new cucked Dissidia NT with a few shills that scream on several boards, but some find the combat "difficult".

But then again, these are the same people who think Meme Souls is ultra hard and require godly reflexes…And very few Resetfags just go on about the one cut story being a mixed bag….

Fucking metacritic is even more disgusting, just compare :

She is flat as fuck for a 19 year old. I thought she was 16 or so. It looks like the devs recognize that Joel is a fucking psychotic retard for dooming humanity back in TLOU1. I'm just hoping they do something different and add in more gameplay rather than the railroaded shit that is most modern vidya. The first game was really short and could have used more to explore and do. There's a chance that they'll get lucky and it'll be a fun game with enough gameplay to be worth the price, but I doubt it. I just hope it isn't full of political commentary like all of the shit that came out last year.

>>14672265

>some find the combat "difficult"

They are right, though, game is immensely stressful because you never know if this is a cutscene that is about to begin, or qtescene! The suspension will prevent you from ever letting your pad go! :^)

Press X to execute isn't anything to write home about, but QTEs are even worse, since you suddenly are "fighting", except on a different rules that throw you out of the loop. If the boss is done, why am I forced to "fight" still? If he's not, why not let me duke it out using normal move set?

>>14672265

>Joel is a fucking psychotic retard for dooming humanity back in TLOU1

spoil me on that, sounds interesting

>>14672324

Essentially, Ellie has innate resistance to whatever causes the fungus zombies and that's really important, because their spores are everywhere. A group of people wanted to take out chunks of Ellie and blend her up into what they believed to be a "cure". Ellie wanted to do it, because if it worked, the world could go back to normal with people not turning into fungus monsters. Joel was ok with it at first, but then he changed his mind and then proceeded to murder everyone in the facility. When Ellie questioned him about it later on, he gave her some bs excuse. There was a chance it wouldn't work, but we'll never know now since I think he killed all of their scientists and doctors as well

>>14672300

That'll be unfortunate, but hopefully these kind of devs lose enough money that they become pariahs.

>>14672324

Essentially. Ellie had "plot armor" to resist the infection. Unimportant nobodies wanted in on that, but Joel said "Nuh-uh. No way, sister" and proceeded to kill everyone.

>>14672406

Is everything exceptional in a story going to become "plot armor" now?

>>14656247

A lot of the things he was talking about weren't even made apparent in the video.

>>14668917

You are right, but that is in the past.

The chances of the western gaming industry having a new golden age is ridiculously small, so I would not count on it ever happening again.

It is actually more likely that any other region gets a new golden age.

>You can't vaccinate a fucking fungus growing on your brain

>but he was literally the only person in the game who acted remotely sensibly in the last chunk

But he wasn't acting sensibly, because he didn't know you couldn't create vaccines against fungi because he took the little shit clear across the fucking zombie and bandit infested country - almost dying countless times in the process. And then handed her over to be dissected, only to have the crisis of conscious at the last second.

No, to his mind, he thought they they were going to create a vaccine. Hell, he might have even been convinced that they could succeed. He acted on pure emotion.

>Firefly was a bunch of psychopaths anyway.

As is pretty much everybody else in the game painted as being, including Joel early on.

>Joel did nothing wrong.

If that's the case, it was merely by happenstance. The intentions which motivated his actions were completely wrong, every step of the way, and if such an agency still existed - she should have been taken out of his custody and put into child protective services to protect her from his stupidity and violent angry outbursts.

>>14674408

>child protective services

>assuming they actually do what they say they do

Even at his worst Joel would have been an infinitely better caretaker than even the most well-intentioned social worker. As the saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and I've personally worked with children and people who have suffered due to the actions of the so-called "protective" services. Look no further than England to see what madness therein lies.

Deciding to use CPS as some kind of authority just undermines the entire premise of what you're saying. Yes, Joel wasn't acting sensibly, and yes, he was acting on emotion. But we humans evolved to be able to make decisions based on both rational i.e. thinking, objective sensory input, logic and irrational internal feelings, instinct, without any tangible impetus for a reason. As for his crisis of conscience not conscious he naturally had that after A.) developing an actual positive relationship with Elly, and B.) upon learning that they intended to kill her just for the chance of something that may or may not work. His emotional impetus for taking Elly to the Firefly HQ was more based on the death of his long-time partner and one of the few people he actually felt he could trust instead of any other reason. But over the course of their journey, he learns to care for Elly in a way that he hadn't cared for anyone in a long time, and this helped prompt his actions at the end of the game.

As >>14674363 said, Joel did absolutely nothing wrong.

>>14674396

>Requiem: Chevalier Vampire

>>14655976

>The original trilogy are better fucking action games than Bayonetta is.

Easy there, reddit.

>>14674408

>he didn't know you couldn't create vaccines against fungi

Fair point

>And then handed her over to be dissected.

Wrong, he was trying to save Ellie after almost drowning only to get a fucking rifle butt upside the head by a jumped up Firefly goon. When he woke up queen nigger told him that they had to harvest the cordyceps. Then he realizes that they grow on the brain, and the only way to do that would be to split her brain open like a fuckin can of chef boyardee and start pulling out all her ravioli. At no point before that is he given an option to see Ellie to see if she's down for it, or to willingly 'hand her off'. She's taken from him.

>Including Joel early on

Joel only kills at the start when he has to and because he got fucked over on a deal, they only kill the soldiers because Ellie fucking stabs one. He does what he has to do to survive, at no point is he malicious except for in his backstory that we never see.

>The intentions which motivated his actions were wrong

Bullshit, Ellie was taken from him while she was unconscious, and then he was told that they were planning to murder her on an operating table and that he had to get the fuck out or get a bullet. Any sensible person would have taken the same exact actions.

>To protect her from his stupidity and violent outbursts

Pfft, violent outbursts? When? Joel fucking does nothing but protect her, including in the end. Did you have an abusive dad anon? A father fighting to protect his child is not suffering from 'violent outbursts', Joel doesn't kill anyone unless provoked and the Fireflies provoke the SHIT out of him. At the absolute WORST you can call him selfish for wanting to keep his surrogate daughter safe from a bunch of fucking retards who want to cut her brain open in a shitty hospital for the miniscule chance of finding a cure for something that doesn't exist, and if that's your margin for being completely wrong then you're either a child or an idiot.

So will Kratos kill YHWH in his next game or what ?

>>14675566

He will in SMT VI Featuring Kratos from the God of War series

>>14673596

No shit, but that's why it's a videogame. If they do decide to correct it, they'll probably retcon it in the second game by having Joel/Ellie run into some doctor or scientist.

>>14675566

They stick to ancient mythology rather than anything current, so never.

>>14677833

Judaism is pretty old too, just still practiced today.

>>14675566

You got double dubs, so I'll answer, no, in Cuck of War, Tyr the Norse God of War, Order, Justice, and Law (tl:dr, better God of War than Kratos) traveled, crossed realms and dimensions to meet the Greeks, Ancient Japanese, Aztecs, and Egyptians to spread "Knowledge and Wisdom", so if any indications, after Kratos dies, for the fourth time after Ragnarok then fucks Hel or whatever to escape death, decides together with Atreus-Loki on which pantheon to kill next.

>>14678727

when do we learn this? I'm only 3 hours into the movie

>>14678780

Check about the 6-7 hour mark when they return to Tyr's Vault, had to check the damn scene with several different videos, but there are murals depicting Tyr visited a lot of lands and chilled with their Gods, Study and Share, not War lesson shit.

>meanwhile in god of war 3 you could have massive armies of undead warriors fighting you on the back of a fucking titan

>one of the bosses is literally a level in of it's self as you scale him to rip open his stomach to obtain a stone

Anon lets be honest the game devs have a hard on for The Last of Us MEME GAME OF THE YEAR ALL YEARS and corporate control and direction made them go the direction they did because they sell games based on focus groups not because it's fucking fun game design.

Also bullshit we could have huge scale fights in the previous fucking gen and no excuse for the downgrade in graphics here for "MAH CINEMATIC"

You should look into Christian gnosticism, which views Jesus as a being sent from beyond creation to save mankind from the world's imperfect and evil creator.

I really like how the first 10 minutes of this game are cutscenes and slow mundane nothing to really get you pumped for some gore and action. It's like they want to trick you into thinking Kratos wasn't an action character designed to very quickly get into some nasty battles and worry about the story of why you're doing what you're doing later. They also trick you by acting like he would care about anyone other than the wife and child he murdered on "accident." Really throws you for a loop, like they go to jab you with the "care about this character you didn't know and died off screen," and then get you with a sucker punch of "just kidding kratos was just asked to help with this kid's burial ceremony and had nothing better to do," which obviously leads into him killing the kid too since only the strong survive in the wild and going out into the woods further, finding some demons from whatever scandanavian mythos world he's in now and fighting them in some fast paced, zoomed out action.

What? It's over the shoulder most of the game? What do you mean, that's a shooter perspective, why would kratos fight in a shooter perspective? Is there intense greek wrestling or something for portions? No, he just slowly swings an Axe? Why does he take so long to throw it around; he was punching with a fist made of metal and marble twice the size of his whole body faster and harder than that. Why are they acting like you can redeem a guy who was designed to be irredeemable and destructive? Why would you even try to redeem a guy who is designed for destroying leagues and leagues of enemies thoughtlessly? Killing on that scale is mindless and made to paint your character as a battle hungry bastard. It is quite literally the same as making mario into a Dynasty Warriors game or turning Metal Gear into a puzzle game.

I saw the movie on Youtube. Disappointed they opted for boring ending and not fighting any interesting gods. Then they spoiled the sequels with Kratos dying or some shit according to the wall mural.

>>14678780

>>14669557

When does the game mention Aztecs?

>>14687848

They don't have the balls to have Kratos kill mesoamerican gods, or muslim, or chinese, or indian.
