I watched a let's play prior to purchasing the game be I was on a budget. When I saw the blade of chaos reveal, I said eff my budget, I need this game!
i wish i could meet this guy some day so i could tell him that ive been playing games a really long time and this is one of the best games that anyone has ever made
I absolutely loved this scene. Before it seemed as if he didn’t really care for Atreus, but this scene shows that he will go to hell and back for him
The next series will follow Loki and be called: God of Chaos
Best. Game. Ever.
Best scene in the whole game im happy it didn't get cut
It was not a very great scene. As soon as you get to hell, for the heart… a place you have never been… you can see portions of the level that Atreus needs to use his bow. So it already tells you that there is no danger or worry with saving him
It really touches my heart that my one my favorite characters of all time is being handled by people who have this much love and respect for Kratos.
A lot of people do not appreciate the amount of time that went into this game! It was well written, the combat system is amazing the gear is dope this the best game in the past 5-6 years
Aka the moment when Jacksepticeye wept tears of joy and absolutely lost his shit XD
he didn't create kratos, david jaffe did.
Give this man an unlimited budget
I just love how the game is so amazing, but everytime the people talk about it they're like "it's all we could have done because of time and money!"
For those saying these are full of flaws, make a list of them for all games.
Cant wait for the next game man I'll buy special edition every time, this game has bringed me happiness
I hope Cory gets a blank check for the next God of War game. The current one is so good and it’s crazy hear he had even MORE stuff he wanted to add but couldn’t due to budget.
After playing this masterpiece, I wanna have a son of my own that I can call 'BOY' whenever I need help with shit ⚡
Genius
Don’t forget the developers and engineers which turn this vision into reality!!
Sometimes I have to be reminded that this is my favourite game of all time, and this video did that.
This is fucking amazing! Love Cory Barlog!

Kratos be like: Yea the boat will sail me itself..
Hands down I think Corey is one of the best game directors I’ve ever seen, you can tell the love he has for this franchise and how proud he is of his game
I went ham on my enemies when Kratos got the Blades of Chaos. I was killing hel walkers with a grin and a tear at the same time. I cant wait for GOW5.
The game is great, but you phucked up Norse mythology for everyone. It's not that I don't like kratos or god of war series, but you should've chosen another story and not just change the good guys to be bad.
Cory Balrog is probably the best director to work with. He seems so authentic, like he has such a big heart, the team did a perfect job getting this story together. Abaokutely terrific!
This scene in the game every time I see it makes me tear up, it truly is one of the biggest turning points in any story ever because it shows how much Kratos wants to hide his past and forget the nightmare that lasted decades, but he realizes he never can and embraces it for his son. It's so powerful and what gets me is when Kratos says I know when Athena says he'll always be a monster and his voice breaks, you could almost compare it to denial and that he doesn't want to accept reality, it truly is one of the saddest things I've seen in gaming.
I am glad this franchise aged like fine wine and I am hopeful for the new God of War on ps5
Can you imagine if GOW got the budget destiny got?
how didnt he adress the blades of exile, even jokingly
Damn bro I wonder if we'll go to asgard in God of war ragnarok
I wont lie. when I went to put the blades back on and Athena popped up..I had to pause multiple times because it was so emotional for me. all the God of War games. the Blades are the most iconic and most history..it was hard watching that scene putting the Blades of Chaos on. it was very heartfelt.
Love the moment when Kratos rides the elevator up inside the cave with Freya's house and gets impatient by walking to the side because his son is in grave danger and he wants to help him NOW but the elevator isn't in a rush.^^
This is so cool. One of the Best games ever made.
I've always like the idea of the Red Storm being caused by Atreus.
I wish i could talk to Cory barlog
I bet for the next one the budgets a hell of a lot higher ?
Weird question, but where can I buy that shirt he's wearing? ?
The blades of chaos are so satisfing to use that i even use them on fire monsters ??? amazing job
This game is one of the greatest games that will ever be made, what an emotional roller coaster
The only addition to this already perfect scene i would v recommended
Is the minute you use the blades you hear the old kratos theme…..
Goosebumps…..
I’ve always wondered about the cutscene animations that were cut. I didn’t know inserting a deer and a flash of lightning could be THAT expensive….
The last time kratos asked a god for help he became the ghost of sparta
I always forget just how expensive it is to make a triple a video game.
Especially when you see something really cool in the background
That was probably a pretty good chunk of change to make.
It would be really interesting and cool to see all the extras that Corey wanted to have in the game if he had had an unlimited budget.
