@S.T.A.G.E.
There's nothing to explain from God of War 1-2. Kratos was pissed off cause he's constantly abused. He was promised they'd get rid of his nightmares, and they didn't. He wanted to just end his life cause he was fed up with himself and what he did. Yet they didn't even let that happen. They forced him to be the new god of war instead. They didn't give him what he asked for, they instead did everything he didn't ask for. He became the god of war against his will, so he started wars alright, pissed off the gods good. This led to a paranoid Zues to get even more paranoid about Kratos killing him, since Kratos is his son (Zues killed his father before him for instance). That last sentence is the story for God of War 2. Whatever happened in Ghost of Sparta is either retconning things or just adding (Not sure which or both, since I haven't played it yet).


You're only explaining the mentality of Kratos around the first GOW period. You only have part of the bread crumb trail which continues with the nightmares after he becomes the GOW. The gods biggest fault is that they never got rid of the nightmare. What happens in Ghost of Sparta sends him over the edge, he would've let the gods live had it not been for the lies, deceit which led up to him finding out certain things and caused the gods to try to assassinate him in part two and now he's doubly searching for revenge. The nightmare led him to find out something Athena and the gods begged him not to pursue. I will not say what those things are because apparently not enough people have played GOS.

You don't have to play Ghost of Sparta to know Kratos was fed up with the Gods.  You don't have to play Ghost of Sparta to know the god's have been lying to him.  *Will fill in this sentence after I play Ghost of Sparta as the Deimos they showed in trailers for it it isn't the Deimos they showed in God of War 1*.  There isn't anything in Ghost of Sparta that you have to see to show you why Kratos is fed up, it was shown quite clearly when he jumped off of Olympus.  Whatever they added for Kratos' assassination other than Zeus being under control by the evils of Pandora's box is retconning the story.


Kratos had a justifiable reason to want to kill Zeus but GOS fills in the games as to what caused the gods to attempt to assassinate him, thus causing him to go for retribution in two.

Of course Ghost of Sparta does, that's what generally happens when you add a prequel to a story.  Adding prequels to a story without planning also causes stuff to not make sense and retcons (Not saying this is the case with Ghost of Sparta).  Ultimately to say you have to play Ghost of Sparta first after going from God of War is a bit silly as it was explained right off the bat.  Like what I'm trying to say is if Ghost of Sparta didn't exist the story would play out the same and it'd make just as much sense.

own and played every game except for that phone version



Aldro on 02 February 2013

I played 1, 2 and 3 days after each other in that order for the first time and in general:

GoW1 had the best "story"
GoW2 had the best "adventure feel"
GoW3 had the best bosses

I'd choose 3 as the best due to its raw epicness. After that, I really love GoW1s story and how it ends with Kratos sitting as the God of War. GoW2 was a real ass adventure though. I think I'd say GoW3>GoW2>GoW1

Whats great is that Ascension is appearing to incorporate the best of each game.

As for Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus that I played after the original 3, I'd rate both after GoW1. They are not as good as the mainline series in my opinion. Chains of Olympus is the weakest and Ghost of Sparta HAS some amazing moments that can put it up to GoW1 and GoW2 in my opinion but overall: I wouldnt say it does.

So =>

GoW3>GoW2>GoW1>GoW GoS>GoW CoO for me.

GOW 2 had plot holes at the beginning of the game and Kratos was still a one dimensional character. They never explained why Kratos was angry at the beginning of two nor why he was overthrown, he was just seen as a "threat" by his father Zeus. Again, plot hole and no identifiable motivations until the assassination attempt. It's a half assed attempt even though GOW 2 was one of my favorites. If GOS didn't exist some needed answers wouldn't have been given. I am glad they added it because it pissed me off to no end and actually affected my opinion of Kratos, but now after getting the Saga Kratos is like Mario in my eyes for Sony LOL.

All of them, playing the challange of Olympus now in GOW3, Its a bitch!


So true.


really I found GOW III challenges to be the easiest of the the bunch, GOW I was the real pain in the ass since you had to do all the challenges in one go unlike the the rest where you could take a break if you were having trouble.

What plothole?  He was pissed off the god's didn't keep their promise and forced him to be the god of war, so he started making wars.  What's there not to understand?  He was overthrown for two reasons: 1) he was causing too many wars for no reason.  2) Zeus was afraid Kratos would kill him (This was explained by Gaia), so Zeus struck first.  There's no plothole here.  Kratos isn't a 1 dimensional character, Jaffe did a very good job with Kratos' story in the first game, which sets up his pissed off attitude in the second game.

I agree, there was no plothole, but Kratos is most certainly a one deminsional character. Hopefully Ascension changes that.

Theres a reason Zeus was paranoid Kratos would kill him and its not just the wars. The gods knew Kratos was biding his time for revenge and was so damn angry in the beginning and soon he would overthrow them, but they knew why he was angry. The reason why Zeus had to assassinate Kratos was justified if you hadn't seen GOS, it made Kratos look like the villain and tyrant, but again, there were other motivations besides his need to start wars.

GOS reveals that Kratos wasn't one dimensional character. A breath of fresh air to be honest. GOW2 makes Kratos seem out of control. Even ares had control when he was the god of war.
