Chapter 770: Sequel, There's a Hammer?
With the passage of time, the first batch of players have basically played until the end of the game, and the popularity of "New God of War" on the Internet has also reached a peak.
Compared with the previous trilogy of Greek mythology "God of War", this "New God of War" came to the land of Northern Europe, whether it is the popularity of player discussions or the evaluation of game media, it has temporarily reached a peak.
The most important thing is the change of the narrative story, although the previous "God of War" has a grand scene and has its own plot, but more elements are still placed on the visual impact and refreshing ACT experience.
And in "New God of War", more changes have been brought about, and that is storytelling.
With a long shot from beginning to end, coupled with its own good story script, players can understand the story of Kratos' character.
In addition, there are many players who are keen to dig into the plot of the game, after all, from the perspective of the story, "The New God of War" is only showing the tip of the iceberg, for example, Asgard and Warnerheim in the game are impossible to go.
Moreover, the gods and goddesses of Norse mythology appear even rarer, and it is clear that there is a long, long story waiting for Kratos and Atreus.
But what really caught the attention of many players was Kuiye's wife, the mysterious giantess Laufey.
This is the only character whose motive is unknown, why did they know the prophecy and not let Kui Ye know it, why didn't they tell Kui Ye their identity as a giant clan, why did Kui Ye scatter the ashes from the peak of the Nine Realms after her death.
Just like "Dark Souls" and "Bloodborne", almost as a feature, there are many players who have also tapped into the possibility of the future plot based on the information revealed in the game, among which conspiracy theories can be said to be the most discussed.
For example, at the beginning of the game, Kratos cuts down the golden handprints on the trees, and after the cut, Badr comes to the door, and before that, Atreus and the others have been uneventful, including the later mountaineering trip, the mark is missing a notch, which is also confirmed.
The second is the ending, Kuiye and Atreus killed Badr through mistletoe, which inadvertently led to the fulfillment of Ragnarok's conditions, and Odin assigned Badr to hunt the Giants, originally to avoid Ragnarok, but because of Badr's death, Ragnarok came more than a hundred years earlier.
Coupled with the mural that finally ascended to the highest peak of the Nine Realms, all of this was a foretold prediction, and among them was a mural in which Laufey and the other giants were arguing about something.
If all this had been planned for a long time, from Laufey's marriage to Kratos to the birth of Atreus, it was possible that all of this had already been calculated.
Including the remains of those giants who have long died after climbing the highest mountain of the Nine Realms, is it possible that Laufey's ashes will be scattered at the end, and its hidden purpose is to resurrect these giants in the past?
Prophecy, fate, and the destruction of the gods, all of this seems to be exactly the same as Kratos's experience in Greek mythology, except that this time the prophet has become Atreus.
It's like a reincarnation!
Countless players have been discussing stories about Norse mythology in The New God of War on the community forums.
Among them, the speculation about the conspiracy theory that all this is already predestined is one of the most popular and recognized speculations.
After all, there are really a lot of clues in the game, all of which are not as simple as thought, and as the main plot of "New God of War", scattering ashes is likely to have some hidden meaning, whether Laufi asked Kratos and Atreus to do this to make Ragnarok come to avenge the giants, or simply wanted Kratos and Atreus to know all this, so that Kratos could protect Atreus.
………………
After scattering ashes on the highest mountain in the Nine Realms, although the subtitles of the game appeared, there seemed to be unfinished content behind.
As Kratos embarks on the journey back, Kratos' conversation with Atreus, as well as the conversation between Mimir's head, reveals a lot of secrets.
For example, the prophecy of Ragnarok, of course, the sentence that Chen Xu remembered the most, that is, fate did not work for Kratos.
Combined with the prophecy mural of the time, this seems to be an important message.
It wasn't a long journey, but I returned to my familiar home, with dilapidated cabins, leaky wooden walls, and a big hole in the ceiling that had been hammered by Badr and still haven't been filled.
"To be reasonable, although God is not afraid of the cold, this living condition is too poor!"
Looking at Kui Ye's room, Chen Xu in front of the computer couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
And just when Chen Xu sighed, the screen fell into darkness, and a line of subtitles appeared 'a few years later'.
Kui Ye and Atreus were awakened in their sleep, and lightning and thunder roared outside the house, and the wind was fierce.
The large hole in the ceiling that had been smashed through by Badr had been filled, but the next moment it was struck by a bolt of lightning.
Same location, same hole.
Holding the Leviathan battle axe, Kratos and Atreus pushed open the door, and a burly man in black robe stood in the doorway without saying a word, surrounded by countless thunderbolts and lightning.
'Who are you! ’
Amid the thunder and wind, Kratos questioned loudly.
Still didn't speak, and the mysterious man in front of him just flicked his cloak back.
A warhammer wrapped in lightning is unusually conspicuous.
The game then ends and you return to the initial loading screen.
"Thor's hammer, this is Thor! Can you play with the hammer in the next part? Thinking back to the picture just now, Chen Xu's first reaction was that there were new toys to play with.
The famous artifact Thor's hammer, coupled with the close-up of the shot, won't there be a hammer to play with after killing Thor?
The audience, who was originally immersed in the game screen just now, was instantly happy when they heard Chen Xu's self-talk.
"The hammer is very good, wait and it will be mine!"
"Guess how long Thor will live next? It feels like it's likely to be the boss of the second part of "New God of War"! At the same beginning, Badr came to the door and broke through the ceiling of Kuiye's house by the way, and now Thor has also come to the door, and he also broke through the ceiling of Kuiye's house, and it is likely that the second final boss is Tuo, and then the third part will play Odin! ”
"Meaning that the cause of Ragnarok is that the ceiling of Kui Ye's house was broken?"
Looking at the sand sculpture barrage in the live broadcast room, Chen Xu was also speechless for a while, and he was still sighing in his heart, but the atmosphere was all gone.
"However, I'm still looking forward to the next work! After all, such a big easter egg was left! In the live broadcast room, Chen Xule said with a smile.
With Chen Xu's words, other viewers in the live broadcast room also posted barrages one after another to express their expectations for the sequel.
Until a barrage slowly floated by.
Speaking of sequels, you haven't thought about it, and the meaning of this little easter egg can also be understood as: Sequel, there is a hammer? ’
???????
Chen Xu, who was still full of expectations, was stunned for a moment.
Sequel, with a hammer?
Thinking of the characteristics of Nebula Games, Chen Xu opened his mouth, as if it made some sense.
