GOD OF WAR RAGNARÖK (2022) | [ALL CUTSCENES - PART 3!!] | "BE BETTER"

This is it, ENDING...

I'll be checking out Valhalla very soon. Thank you so much for hanging out with me on this. You're the best guys.

GOD OF WAR RAGNARÖK (2022) | [ALL CUTSCENES - PART 3!!] | "BE BETTER"

Comments

Great video as always. Really looking forward to Valhalla. I saw you didn't know what Mimir's comment about the hole meant during Brok's funeral - Brok gave Kratos and Mimir a riddle on their way to forge Draupnir, "what gets bigger the more you take away?" - neither could figure it out, and Mimir's realization during his funeral is the answer to the riddle. If I may recommend another game to check out, Red Dead Redemption 2 would be an interesting one. It's very big, but is the only game that puts as much effort into cinematography as God of War does, and thus would be interesting to hear your thoughts on it. Cheers!

It was said a few times already, but you really need to check out the other previous GoW games before Valhalla. You'd just miss out on too much otherwise. In my opinion, you need to check out all 6 previous games, not only 1-3, as, even if not as prominent, even they get somementions and attention, some callbacks in the Valhalla DLC. So, GoW 1-3, Ascension, which plays before 1, and the two smaller PSP spin-offs, Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus. Even if not for Valhalla, even they tell more about the general lore, but also more stories about Kratos and his past, his previous family. And technically there even is another entry for GoW, called Betrayal. A mobile game for the old, old generation of phones, before the smartphone era, iirc, released shortly after GoW 2. So, imagine a resolution of about 10x10 pixels ^^ And technically, it also counts as canon. So, GoW Ragnarök actually is the 9th entry in the franchise. I think you can skip the mobile one, though :P still, recommend checking out the other 6 games. And an important side mission of Ragnarök, needed to fully understand the start of the Valhalla DLC. SPOILER, it's about Tyr.

I'll have to have a think about it because I've heard that game is huge!

Kai Zammit

I’d love to see you react to The Witcher 3

Samuel Phillips

Oh really!? That's cool, that big payoff moment. I'm looking forward to when I can do it myself. Unfortunately the version I watched is how it was made so it was cut out.

Kai Zammit

Yes and the dwarf playing on the instrument is meant to be Bear McCreary who composed the soundtrack for the game

Eva Eneremadu

I'm not sure if you cut it from the video or if it was left out of the original, but during the fight with Heimdall you actually perform 2 initial volleys before hitting him on the third. The impact is more of a "Yes! We hit him!" rather than a "Gasp, he's been hit".

Khalil

If you were curious, the instrument you hear playing during Broks funeral is called a Hurdy Gurdy. The reason it sounds so similar to a bagpipe is because, just like the bagpipe, the hurdy gurdy uses a drone tone, albeit using one or more strings instead of a pipe.

Christian Spruill

With the Valhalla DLC I would honestly say you should watch the original trilogy first because it include a lot of Kratos' backstory and I believe you would benefit from knowing that story beforehand. Also you asked about if you find the real Tyr in this game and (SPOILERS IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THE GAME FIRST). There is a partif the game where you dind out what happened to him. It's not too ceremonial and impactful to the story but he does have a part to play in the DLC which I reckon you might want to watch his reveal first. Been loving the content 👏.

There are so many hints and remarks from Tyr that made me doubt his intentions on my forst play through but that could possibly be that I have my rich experiences with manipulators in real life. They can’t help it and they always tell on themselves and it made me stop and think something is off about this Tyr guy 🤣 and it is now so obvious on my second play through, there are just so many hints

Eva Eneremadu

Yeah it sucks but at the same time, this game is huuuge! I am just playing for second time and I forgot how big the game actually is

Eva Eneremadu

I'm looking forward to it! Thank you for watching and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. Regarding context, I understand there's lots missing for me within this video but as you said, it gives me something to look forward to when I play plus I'd have this as a 12 part series to understand everything.

Kai Zammit

It physically hurts me to see how much context is missing in this. Nontheless, it was great to see your reaction. You have a lot to discover when you play this yourself.

Zeus was absolutely more powerful than Odin, by a lot. Kratos is just old now (roughly 1,000 years old) and he also doesn’t have the very potent fuel of rage that he did when he fought Zeus. At least, that’s my take on it

Carter Kennedy

I saw you reaction to the "A hole" line at the end. That was a bit that was cut out. But in the middle of the game. Brok is giving riddles to mimir and they bring a lot of attention to it. Would recommend you checking out this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LgGMMPu-eM Also, you can actually find Tyr in the game. But it's just extra content not in the DLC after you beat the main game I believe you are able to find him. Or maybe it might just be locked until you find out that Odin was Tyr the entire time. I actually haven't played the DLC I know it's free so I don't know what goes on in it

HenRMJ

You should do the old trilogy first before you do Valhalla I think it will hit better if you do those first some of the story in the psp games is good aswell idk if you would want to do those but with the old games you could probably do them with 1 episode each if you wanted you could probably do all of them in one episode not as many cutscenes in the old games

Rian Macintosh

I’m so glad you enjoyed this franchise! I think you will appreciate Valhalla, but I think it’s important that you find the correct compilation to react to. I believe you said you’d play this game so you’ll find the important things you weren’t shown in this reaction but a Valhalla reaction could be botched by the wrong video you react to. I’ll look for a good one and let you know if you even see this👍 I owe you $6.90 as well

HandsomeCR

First the trilogy of old games and for final the Valhalla Dlc

LEO Leo

Oh man you absolutely need to watch the old trilogy…its Kratos on different vibe😂

LEO Leo

This was an amazing series and the reason I subscribed here on Patreon this month. Thank you for your insights and effort. In addition to all the things that are the focus here, what always blows me away about God of War is how good each and every voice actor is. They just knock it out of the park from start to finish, and I don't think there's a weak performance among them. I have to imagine it's been asked before, but will you ever do Arcane now that it's 'complete'? Either a breakdown of interesting scenes from the whole show, or just a reaction to the whole thing?

Will Sommers

Oh man, I remember playing the God of War: Chains of Olympus demo on the PSP and it was so much fun. I played that demo dozens of times.

Adrian

I just want to say how much I appreciate the moments where you talk about the lighting of a scene. I've been learning 3D animation and sometimes I can produce something that looks near-photorealistic and other times it looks like cheap rubbish. I've realised how much of that comes down to the lighting, so listening to you talk about how the differing lights work in a scene is really helpful.

Dan J Reid

I was disappointed that they left that out. I realise its not during a cutscene, so its difficult to include it. But its such a great moment, as Brok gets one over on the "smartest man alive," and its played entirely for laughs until it gets quietly forgotten about. So that moment when Mimir finally gets the answer after the funeral is a real gut punch. I'd also recommend listening to "Blood Upon the Snow," just to complete the ending. Its a really fantastic closing piece of music for the game.

Dan J Reid

At the end of Brok's funeral when Mimir says "A hole", its not in the video but earlier in the game when traveling with Brok he stumps Mimir with a riddle, "What gets bigger the more you take away". There are a lot of references to it during gameplay moments so its unfortunate that it wasn't in the video since thats a somber way for Mimir to finally answer, all coming full circle.

Fleshtotem

I highly recommend the documentary Raising Kratos. It's about two hours. It's about the making of the previous game, GoW (2018). It shows a lot of the hardships behind game development, where the story inspiration came from, and to me, the way they chose to tell story of the development is quite inspirational. It truly think you would love it.

Freddy Montero

Another detail they alluded to early on in the game (like Fenrir's soul) was Thor trying to quit drinking for Thrud and Sif. Go back and watch his intro scene at the table and you'll notice he only sniffs the mead - never drinks it. And then Odin drinks it later and says Thor is no fun anymore; which could mean lots of things, but it is right after he drinks the mead Thor abstained from.

Jordan Woollen

Honestly so disappointed with the video you watched. Leaving out a lot of details that you had questioned, but was explained in a part the creator cut out...and seeing that they cut out Sindri's solo entrance was wild. Understandably, not cutting out some of the details, it'd be so long that you'd end up needing a part 4 lol. But, on the bright side, I guess you have more to look forward to when you play yourself. But definitely disappointed with some of the cuts the creator made.

Chase Hill

i would love the original trilogy reaction ^^

a2nlolkid Boohoo

There is a really cool video where they show hints about the Tyr twist through the game Especially when they visit the shrine in vanaheim. You should check it out!

Amko Basic

About the subtitles saying Odin before he turns from Tyr to Odin: the subtitles also hint that it's not been the real Tyr all this time by spelling his name every time he speaks as Tyr, while when others mention him his name is spelled Týr. Essentially a hint throughout the game that people wouldn't notice if they had subtitles turned off. Not that too many people noticed it even with subtitles on, haha.

Abhijeet Mishra

I;m glad someone see's it haha, thank you!

Kai Zammit

Long awaited🏆🏆

Miguel Gallegos
