I've been playing Ragnarok and there's a part where Kratos is talking to Freya and tells a story about how he once had a wife and daughter but was tricked into attacking a village, unaware that they were there and ended up killing them.

Is that from one of the pre-2018 games? I've only played GoW 2018.

Yes it's from the very first game. Basically his origin story as to why he wants to kill the original God of War.

That happens before the first game even starts. It's why he wants to kill Ares.

yea.

I didn't feel much sympathy for him (then), though, because while he was tricked by Ares into killing them, he was was still totally fine killing an innocent woman and child.

The quick backstory is that Kratos and his army were fighting barbarians and solidly losing. Kratos called out to Ares and offered his servitude if Ares would kill his enemies. Ares followed through, slaughtering the barbarian army and "gifting" Kratos the Blades of Chaos. From then on, Kratos followed the will of Ares, conquering and attacking what Ares said to.

This eventually led to his forces attacking a small village that worshipped Athena. He went into the temple and slaughtered everyone. It was only after that he discovered his wife and child were inside. They were meant to be home in Sparta, but Ares brought them there so Kratos could become the ultimate warrior by severing his earthly attachments.

With the temple burning, its priestess bound the ashes of his family to his skin, turning his canonically black skin ghost white as punishment.

Thanks for the info.

I was just curious if the things Kratos mentions from his past were canon from the other games.

I'll probably check out the earlier games in the near distant future.

I got them all for PS3 a little while back but the disk drive on my PS3 broke. So I can't play them at the moment.

I'm pretty sure everything about his past talked about was something from the games.

There's a conversation about fate that's the plot of the second game.

He did have one story that I couldn't quite place. Think it was a wink to the playstation version of Smash Bros. Sony made, or maybe Mortal Kombat.

The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.
Everything else, is theory.

Something about taking part in a tournament? That he refused to discuss.

Think that was about Playstation All Stars, yeah.

I never understood Kratos getting his shit kicked in by a normal human.

Zoomers really do be playing the newest entry of a series and being confused about the story because they haven't played the previous games first.

Well he was just a normal human at the time too, just really really good at leading the Spartan army.

Until that day, anyway.

Do you force your kid to play all Nintendo titles in chronological order or something lol

Your childhood favourites are just Easter eggs in new titles, sorry.

Zelda/Mario games have always been stand alone. If you're playing a story heavy game like Metal Gear, Last Of us/God Of War and you're confused about the story then of course you're going to be confused if you haven't played the previous entries. It's not like the previous games are so outdated that they are unplayable.

"Whoa, people saw a game with no number or subtitle in the name and assumed that the past games in the series won't be relevant in what is obviously a reboot?! What absolute fools!"
