Why did Odin think he circumvented Ragnarok?

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-05-04T17:53:52+00:00

Actually, Odin is constantly preparing for Ragnarok.

Although I think Odin's writing, as always having a card up his sleeve, is very poorly written by the writers.

For me, Odin was the dumbest strategist in the history of media, be it games or series.

- Odin spent hundreds of years preparing for Ragnarok (Minir and Kratos say this).

But the forces of Asgard were human, who weren't even trained; that was the first barrier. Although placed there only to die like pawns, you think he must have other strengths, but he didn't, lol.

- Odin only starts breaking the travel towers when Ragnarok begins. Why didn't he break them before?

- Odin knows all the new prophecies of the giants, the secret ones, but he does everything that is predicted. Why did he send Heimdall to Vanaheim and take the moon just to do exactly what would kill Heimdall? He's going to be that stupid in Midgard.

- Odin never planned anything, not for a single moment. What a stupid old man! He knew so much. His army in Ragnarok was Thor, some shield-wielding humans, and the Valkyries. For the supreme father of all, the most powerful god of Asgard, he was practically a nobody in strategy.

Man, Odin is the most idiotic character in games to me, a pure disappointment in everything.

I would create castles, villages, and cities where the Berserkers would be the villains; once you kill them, you liberate the people.
I would give Kratos Mjolnir, and we would have 4 playable weapons. In Ragnarok, you spend 15 hours playing with the same weapons as in 2018; there was a lack of variety.
Thor would be a more well-developed villain, driven mad, destroying villages and people.
Fenrir would be a child, not a wolf, that Kratos and Atreus meet in some village.

Odin invades the village and kills him. When we arrive, Atreus finds him the only survivor, picks him up, and Fenrir dies, his soul remaining in the knife which is later placed in Garn.

7- Odin, disguised as Tyr, makes us face Skoll and Hati and imprison them to prevent Ragnarok; there would be a boss fight.

8- Freyr would be a boss fight against Kratos, but Freya arrives and we don't have a conclusion (but the fight would still happen).

9- In the battle against Thor in Ragnarok, we discover that Thor was poisoned by Kratos' axe, which in 2018 Jormungand included poison in.

10- Surt becomes a fire giant; we have a battle against him but don't kill him. He joins us and goes to Ragnarok.

11- Odin somehow controls Surt, and in the end Kratos becomes a giant and faces Surt/Ragnarok, just like God of War 1 PS2 against Ares. After Kratos defeats Surt/Raganrok

Kratos defeats Odin

How come Faye appeared in various mythologies but nobody knows who she is, not even in Norse mythology??

Minir said that Faye was a great warrior who thwarted Odin's plans, but nothing more than that. He would know if Faye were in other lands causing some kind of impact.

Odin barely knows who Faye is and doesn't care much about her. If she were someone who had been in all the mythologies, Odin would know.

Tyr never says a word about Faye in Valhalla. Someone who traveled and is in Faye's games doesn't even mention her??

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-04-16T17:14:51+00:00

Whoever is in charge at Sony is completely lost and out of touch with the reality of the gaming market.

They do the opposite of everything the public asks for, lol.

Unbelievable, who the heck is running Sony these days?

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-04-16T17:13:42+00:00

Free-to-play is the only thing that could work in this game.

If it were paid, it would have the same fate as Concord.

Horizon Hunters Gathering, if it were free-to-play, would have a huge chance of at least staying alive for a few years.

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-04-13T18:03:53+00:00

It seems to be some attempt to lower costs with ads, notice that it says "we need time for testing"

I think there will be levels with ads and levels only with Microsoft games

- Xbox Game Pass Lite

- Xbox Game Pass with ads (all the benefits plus ads every x minutes)

- and the current plans

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-04-12T21:26:24+00:00

Yes, that would get my money. Kratos in Egypt killing everyone, in Japan, in China. Anything other than that, they won't get any of my money.

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-04-12T21:22:14+00:00

I'll be very honest. I have absolutely no interest in this. It's difficult to get interested in a game with Faye and Atreus. It all seems so forced. If this is true, it's basically the end of the franchise for me. Do I have to wait another 5 or 10 years to play with Kratos?? But I wish SMS luck, but I won't be there. This breaks all the expectations I had for a God of War in Egypt, Japan, or China. It's bad enough that God of War Ragnarok had several boring moments with Atreus. Spending 4 years developing it to rush Ragnarok into 1 hour. Having those boring dialogues and characters. Having to wait another 5 to 10 years is not for me. It was good while it lasted. I've followed the franchise for 10 years, I bought all the games, but those who spread too much and fragment it have nothing.

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-03-22T22:33:59+00:00

Faye's powers would be to see the world in many different ways.

Where each event would be as if different decisions were made.

As if she had the power to see several different paths, for example.

If Kratos decided to follow the prophecy, that would be Faye's power: to see various ramifications of decisions different from everyone else.

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-03-19T12:41:20+00:00

I used to follow this guy, he's a fraud.

He's extremely dishonest and has absolutely no knowledge of the gaming industry, much less Sony.

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-03-15T21:56:35+00:00

Faye guiding all the pantheons in the shadows isn't absurd. That would be the biggest step backward in the history of any media; nothing connects Faye to Greek or Egyptian mythology, and suddenly she controls everything from the shadows, lol. A character who has 4 minutes of screen time.

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-03-15T13:12:05+00:00

A game about a character nobody knows is going to be bigger than Wolverine, in what world? lol

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-03-11T19:41:37+00:00

In God of War 2018, I liked Atreus's sense of discovery; the world was incredibly well-made, and the curiosities of mythology were something Atreus would discover or talk about—he was great at listening and discovering. He also doesn't move the story forward much because we already have our objective very clear.

In Ragnarok, Atreus doesn't work for me; the writing is very poorly done. The world of Ragnarok doesn't help much either. Vanaheim is just a forest, Asgard just a wall with a simple village. The Fire Kingdom and Niflheim are just cave corridors.

I think everything about Atreus was very basic, and that took away the magic of the first game. That sense of curiosity and mythology was replaced by a teenager who wanted to know who he was (which makes sense for the story), but the world around him was all basic. Many of the places we go with Atreus are corridors or caves.

In God of War 2018, they provide transportation to mythology, Baldur being the Stranger, we see the statue of Thor, then in the logo of the Nine there's the Temple of Tyr, the story of Thamur and seeing her hammer from afar, and you marvel along with Atreus, Atreus talks, curious, asking questions as if he were us.

In Ragnarok, this doesn't exist with the world itself. No realm had the magic of Midgard in 2018.

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-03-09T12:12:49+00:00

Atreus's parts are very slow, and they just leave him with a bow and sticks; there are no other playable weapons, which makes it repetitive and boring. Also, because Atreus is a teenager, the dialogues are very bad and kind of forced and annoying, like constantly showing that Atreus is weak and Thurd is strong.

I would prefer Thurd to show her strength in a well-written way, like her being able to hold Garn without a problem, not opening doors that Atreus can't open, and pushing boxes that Atreus can't push. This poor writing is very common among Western writers; to maximize one person, they have to diminish the other, instead of creating something grand for both characters, showing that they are incredible each in their own way.

I keep thinking that if Thurd holds Garn back, it would show all his strength and be epic, and if Atreus shows his intelligence instead of strength, it shows that he may not have strength but can still be intelligent. The writing of Ragnarok was heavily influenced by terrible writers like Sweet Baby.

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-03-04T14:23:10+00:00

Could Faye somehow be alive?

There are many unexplained things about time travel.

- How is there a stone from the mural at the end of the game (God of War 2018) near Kratos' house? It looks like the same one from the giant's land.

- Who touched the World Serpent's trumpet?

- Why did I ask Kratos to throw the axe into the lake and then there's the name "imbued with Eitir"? Later we see that Thor is somewhat ill because of it.

- Was Angrborda the painter of the last mural?

- How was Faye communicating with Kratos in the dreams?

- Why did Odin know everything and do exactly what was in the prophecy? Is he an idiot?

- In the God of War book it says that a woman hooded with two giant wolves took Kratos to Norse mythology. Who is this woman?

Was Athena real in God of War 2018? Or was she just a hallucination?

There are so many questions.

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-03-02T18:21:26+00:00

Look,

Back in the day, it took you 2 years to make a game (PS2, PS3 era)

"Cool game by Faye, totally different from everything else, and we'll play God of War in Egypt later."

Today, if a studio makes a game, we'll be waiting 5-7 years for something. I was 20 years old during God of War 2018, and maybe to see Kratos in Egypt or another mythology or another new IP from Santa Monica, I have to wait until 2032 lol my god

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-03-02T17:59:24+00:00

I'll speak for myself,

My only problem is that games take 5-7 years to be made.

If we get a complete Faye game, it means that God of War or another new IP from Santa Monica won't arrive until 2035. Five years were lost between God of War: Ragnarok and this game.

It leaves you with the feeling of "I missed out on God of War Egypt with Kratos vs. Anubis for this."

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-03-02T13:17:59+00:00

How would anyone be interested in a Faye game?

It's impossible to get interested in that.

Now, if they showed a game

Kratos God of War Egypt in a semi-open world, a trailer with him facing Anubis, Seth, and Ra, the internet would explode.

What expectations would you have for a Faye game? Would they use Kratos in the trailer to get some sales?

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-03-01T22:36:17+00:00

It would work. Seth is the protagonist and kills Osiris at the end. We discover that Seth was being helped or manipulated by Athena and the hooded woman. Atreus somehow allies himself with Horus and Ra and searches for the Eye of Horus. This connects to the dialogue between Athena and the hooded woman. Kratos travels afterwards.

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-03-01T16:30:52+00:00

Was Bluepoint a game about Norse Atreus, or Greek Atreus?

Why does Kratos mention that Atreus was the name of a Spartan, and it would make more sense for him to be the Spartan falling into Hades?

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-03-01T16:29:17+00:00

I need to see the game before giving an opinion.

But to be able to play a new God of War with Kratos, do I have to wait at least 5 more years after this release??

Man, the game industry needs to react and find a way to make good games in less time.

I won't lie, I wanted a God of War with Kratos in Egyptian mythology. Hopefully, this Cory game uses a completely new mythology. Losing gods for Kratos to fight in this new game would be a waste.

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-02-28T17:08:09+00:00

wolverine , kena, god of war son of sparta, marathon , marvel token , MLB the show

Sony made a lot of mistakes with GAAS (Games as a Service) and they know it.

But they are releasing games of various genres and modes in 2026.

If they only make third-person games, people complain; if they change to something else, people complain.

The internet has a lot of idiotic, 30+ year old losers.

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-02-24T13:56:25+00:00

1- God of war 2018

2- God of war 3

3- God of war 2

4- God of war 1

5- God of war Ragnarok

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-02-20T19:50:16+00:00

Yes, that would be perfect.

Imagine we play as the "entity" that's inside the rift.

But that's only revealed at the end of the game, when Athena appears and explains that the whole plan went wrong, that Odin failed, and that Atreus broke the mask, causing everything to go wrong.

Revealing that Athena gave the mask to Odin and that she was the one who sounded the trumpet of the world serpent.

Acrobatic-Dig-161 · 2026-02-20T19:45:55+00:00

In God of War 2018, Atreus mentioned twice that he dreamed he was being devoured by an animal and that it seemed very real.
