I loved GoW 2018 but I couldn't force myself to finish Ragnarök. Everything felt worse even though they mostly copy and pasted everything over. The only good thing was having different companions than your annoying kid.

They didnt even do the trope right. It usually goes like “We will make peace… But you must give up your friend / betray your country / kill an innocent etc”
But Odin doesnt even ask anything in return just for Atreus to stop fucking around which Kratos also doesnt want him to do. There is zero reason for him to reject the offer

Odin didn't want "peace", he was trying to intimidate Kratos of all people, he brought his enforcer Thor with him, he made plenty of veiled threats towards Kratos, he made Thor fight Kratos just so he can have some alone time with Atreus so he can manipulate him, Odin is a huge piece of shit in that scene, but he is the villain, so, you know.

It's fucking crazy how GOW Ragnarok always do everything in its power to deny you the power fantasy
>GOW games main gimmick was how you defeated a boss/god, and took its power/weapon
>GOW Ragnarok has Thor, who wields the most iconic weapon mythical weapon in the whole world
>You literally never gets your hands on the thing, instead you get some fucking spear
How fucking lame is that
But the best part is how the game is named Ragnarok, yet the actual event only starts in the last fucking hour of the game, is visually unimpressive and a complete wet fart, and only to be ended halfway through because war is le bad
The Hollywoodization of AAA games is a fucking tragedy, now everytime something cool might happen, your expectations will be le subverted, so daring, so original!
Ironically, I feel more like an actual god fighting other gods in a game like fucking Elden Ring, than in the game named GOD of fucking WAR: RAGNAROK

The direction they chose for Odin was gay from the start, it's a fine idea for a villain, and thematically it does fit, but it offers nothing gameplay wise. Odin is known as the "all knowing", so they made his theme knowledge and manipulation, lore wise that fits, and there is plenty of stuff you can do with it in the story, like manipulating Thor to do his bidding, even though Thor is supposed to be way way stronger than him, but when it comes to a last boss fight, it corners you design wise, there is very little to work with for a boss that "knows everything", Elden Ring also failed in that regard, Gideon, the all knowing, was nothing more than a spam machine.

combat variety, and combat itself is better.. end game system feels way more tacked on, the puzzles are much worse, and you have mandatory back seating that instantly solves puzzles for you.

Story also feels like a shitty marvel story, compared to GoW 2018, that was smaller in scale and based around father/son/mother dynamics.

In the first games both the protag and villains were designed to be edgy and cool. The typical gamer was the target audience, so they made something worth looking at.

It was a great moment, retards. No more "gullible protagonist falls for villain's deal" cliche (which Kratos himself is guilty of in past games). The obviously evil, traitorous Odin makes a suspicious deal that's too good to be true, and Kratos has the wisdom to tell him to fuck off because he's not falling for that the millionth time. Do you really think everything would've been hunky dory if Kratos had simply said yes?

He tries to dismiss the fact that Kratos's actions in the previous game were horrible by saying "Haha, the Greeks are dead," but then uses that framework to argue that Kratos feeling remorse for his actions is wrong and "onions."
This is just stupid! I have problems with New GOW, especially Ragnarok, but Kratos regretting his actions isn't one of them.

This game doesn’t even know what to do when it has a good character. Thor for example they nailed his design, mannerisms, voice and so on. Too bad he never fucking does anything in this game. Outside of the intro fight, hes completely wasted and does nothing outside of having scenes like sitting on his ass like a baby man as his strong so cool epic daughter talks to him like it’s a fucking Sesame Street episode. Even the final fight was lame only to be killed in under a minute flat after by Odin. Completely wasted. Should have been in another game altogether.

I can't believe they went the "drinking bad!" route with Thor. Like I literally couldn't believe they would do that even as it was happening, it was unbelievably bizarre for a fucking Norse god to be PSA'd about excessive drinking in fucking Asgard, what the absolute FUCK were the writers thinking

They fucked up and butchered Odin in literally every single way. Odin is suppose to be this insane library brain mastermind that fucks everybody with his galaxy mind and knowledge. But the writing is so weak in the game that he instead comes off as a scheming old jew.

The writer has gone on record as not thinking too deeply about shoehorning in "representation", just randomly slaps attributes onto characters even if it makes the game worse because it makes the real world a better place

No shit. We're talking about the game, where Kratos becomes the god of war after killing Ares
