This is what happens when you fuck up a story by implementing the ability to freely use time travel.

NOTHING MAKES SENSE AFTER THAT.

There's another thing I don't understand. He went back to when he was killed in God of War 2... and when he was killed he was "revived" by the "dead" titans... but if he went back in time to save the titans before they died in the great war... then who the hell revived him when he died?

It's like the titans were never killed and instead taken to the future but then that means there was no one to revive him after he was killed by Zeus... which means he could've never gone into his quest to find the sisters of fate... and he was never able to travel through time...

I don't know, it's hard to understand O_o

I understand what you are talking about.   The thing is that no game nor movie can do a logical story regarding time travel.  They always screw up, as you have noticed.

Last night, I was playing the God of War: Ascension demo (which is AMAZING, you must all go try it out) and a question came up between some of my buddies.

SPOILERS AHEAD.

Anyways, so during God of War 2, after Kratos defeated the Sisters of Fate and sealed them away, he basically gained control of time itself. There was also that third fat one covered in boobs, which Kratos gracefully put an end to. He then uses this power to stop Zeus from killing him and taking his powers away. He also uses his power to control time by going way back to the war between the Titans and the Gods and recruits the Titans to help fight against Olympus in his present time.

So my question is why didn't Kratos use the power of the Fates to stop himself from killing his wife and daughter? I mean, that's the whole reason Kratos lived in turmoil everyday, isn't it? It's also the reason he cursed the gods for basically enslaving him as their puppet and refusing to remove his nightmares away. He even ended up almost killing himself for it back in God of War 1. Am I missing something here...? I find it surprising that I only thought of this now.

Thoughts?

I think that is because he uses a pre-formed time line made already by the sisters in order to go back in time to where the titans were fighting against the gods.   So he could only travel to places showed in that time line...I guess? :D

Gaia was never killed and she was the one that revived him.  But yes there's lots of plot holes.  As far as not stopping himself and going after Zeus, as someone said, it's because his hatred was so strong he chose revenge over his family.  A theme in the third game.

Well if you guys find the time traveling is confusing or brings about plot holes in GOW then you're really going to be confused if you follow the Legacy of Kain series. xD Time paradox and constant rewriting of the series lore as you play.

God of War has a plot? I was under the impression that I was just running around tearing out guts for fun much like beating people even after they are dead with a baseball bat in GTA4.

Yeah it does. It's story is especially awesome if you like greek stuff like mythology. Thankfully the story isn't just stappled on to the awesome gameplay like mario (save the princess much) >.>

I thought her and all the titans that appeared in that cutscene behind her were all dead and were some sort of spirits... but let's say they weren't... they wouldn't have been there to revive him because he made them travel from the great war time to after the last boss fight with Zeus in GoW2... meaning they weren't even there at the time Zeus killed Kratos... and meaning Gaia and the other titans couldn't even have been "watching him all this time" like she says in the cutscene and they couldn't have revived him...

In fact, since Kratos wasn't even born during the great war, or if he was he was just a kid, the titans would have only met Kratos when he appeared out of nowhere to save them from the blade of olympus' attack... Unless they somehow can see the future... but if they did they should've known what was going to happen to them from the beginning.


I think we need to ask Doc about this

They weren't dead.  Hades had them locked up in hell.  You find that out in Chains of Olympus, explains how Atlas got out.  But I don't think Gaia was ever captured, though she must have now that I'm thinking about it.
