God Of War


   Kratos is officially coming back to PlayStation consoles near you on April 20,2018. I hate the fact they changed the voice actor but I guess it's just me probably because I haven't seen anybody talk about it.
  I saw the story trailer yesterday and so I'll be mentioning the things that I love already and the things I fear. From the story trailer,it appears Kratos just lost his wife and his son Atreus is still grieving as well as learning how to survive from his father Kratos. 

Apparently Atreus doesn't know his father is a literal god who killed basically all the top tier greek gods and for some strange reason,Kratos doesn't want to tell him(i scratched my head for this).

  Atreus falls Ill because he's godly side is taken over,I honestly don't know how that makes sense but that's what I heard in the trailer. I might be wrong but I don't think I am so....you guys with PlayStation consoles should tell us noobs!.

  Now I said earlier I'd be talking about the things I liked and hated from what I've seen so far. It's only right that I mention the positives first so here they are;

•The Camera Angle

   I have played all GOW games prior to this(yes,including that stupid game called Ascension) and I didn't get why the camera angle was that way. I mean,Kratos is a brutal and personal fighter,he doesn't have slick moves like the types of Dante or Ezio so I always wanted to see those brutal kills up close and so,am really glad Santa Monica Studios heard my prayers(even though technically I might never play it) and gave us this new up close and fresh angle!.

•Atreus

   So on SM's twitter page,I saw a lot of hateful comments about Atreus and a lot of people are already labelling him as a "useless annoying character". It confuses me when I see people say shit like that,I like him already because he adds depth to Kratos. Aren't we tired of Kratos just being hateful? Don't you want to see him care for someone? That makes him interesting and shows he has grown from being just the mindless brute. And to top it off,Santa Monica wouldn't add Atreus in if he wasn't going to add to the story.

•A Breath Of Fresh Air

We have killed all the residents of mount Olympus,we need more dead gods and who do you call when you want to see a dead god? KRATOS!. He doesn't have his iconic chains but the axe is good enough for me(in fact,just his bloody hands are enough!). I really really hope he fights Thor(that's if Thor's in this game) because I always wanted to see that.

  Now for the negatives that I have seen in the game.
• The Story


      I'll start up with the story,I don't think the story is strong enough. At least from what I've seen,the only way it could span a lengthy game would be if they plan on killing Kratos midway and making Atreus the new titular character so they can spin off a lot of sequels and prequels and they wouldn't do that RIIIIIIGHT?

•Voice Actor
    I mentioned it before but it still pisses me off,I guess they changed voice actors because Kratos isn't filled with rage anymore or because it's a soft reboot but still am not a fan. It doesn't feel the same,there's no chill when I hear his voice....the new guy just has a deep voice,it doesn't scare me. Maybe it's nostalgia or something but am not a fan of the new voice actor.

•A Breath Of Fresh Air

    Yes, you read that right...this is also a bad thing for the game. And I say this because Kratos back story is so rooted in Greek Mythology that I don't see him switching to the Norse side. They better have a very very very good explanation for why he went there and even had a baby mama for that matter.
The perfect thing they should have done was make a new story with a new character who kills Norse gods. Anyhow though,let's see what they come up with because from the looks of things,this game will either be really great or really bad.

•Kratos


   You know I said Atreus would add more depth to Kratos as a character? Well what if he doesn't need that? I mean,he served his ultimate goal which was to avenge his wife and daughter's death as well as kill the Greek gods for screwing him over so why all this? Why not let the character die? And if at all you wanted to bring him back...why not bring him in all his glory and rage and gore? He seems too chill here and am not saying that's a bad thing because it's not. 
It would actually serve as a good story but you have to admit that some characters shouldn't be tweaked because "fans" might not receive it well(Luke in The Last Jedi).

  If you liked this post don't forget to help me promote it anyway you can. You can tell a friend about the blog or post it on social media,whichever way is fine by me. 

Sorry for not posting much I have a ton of school work, am trying so hard to grasp programming while also taking this really complex maths course. So I hope you guys still keep it 100% with Me and have faith that I'll post more. Hopefully with your help we'll reach higher places! Thanks! Again...don't forget to tell me what you think about "God Of War" in the comment section! Barney... Out!

Severance: An Unforgettable Thriller

Written By
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you didn't remember the stress of your workplace when you get home? From the mind of Dan Erickson, directed by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle, Severance offers an answer to the aforementioned question and pushes the limit by asking " when your consciousness is spilt into two, which one is the real you? " The series follows a severed employee at Lumon, Mark who has recently been promoted to the Head of Microdata and Refinement Department after the sudden resignation of his boss and the recruitment of a new employee, Helly Riggs. Plot Severance has a unique plot, while the execution of a series without a definite blueprint can prove difficult, it does not fall into this hole. The series answers (almost)all the questions it poses in the first few episodes but ends on a note that will leave you spiraling and brimming with inquisitiveness.  Characters For every character, we follow two distinct ...

Enjoying music (on your own)

Written By
Music is not for the English or French,  or Italian, or anyone at all.  Music is the simple or complex cluster of sounds that sound pleasing, acceptable to the ear. Needless say, almost every person appreciates good music and some have mistaken this appreciation as an avenue to create something. Some succeed at it, and others - a whole bunch - don't. Music isn't just something you create on a whim, unless you're Labrinth 🐐 Seriously, creating music is difficult, complex and very stressful. But there's an easier part and it's called LISTENING - not like Wizkid FC and Tiwa Savage's gladiators sha.  People oft imagine music to be "better" when the speakers are going like the drums of judgement day and uhh... no. Don't do that. Music inflated by volume is noise. [Unless it's metal, then KPK👍] There are 5 simple ways to enjoy music when step 0 - good speakers/headphones - is achieved. - First, music is best enjoyed in a peaceful environment, not a...

SENSE 8: A SHORT LIVED MASTERPIECE

Written By
Sense 8 was a slept on underground Netflix show that had a large underground fan base,and I say underground because they never promoted the show. And honestly,promotion is really what matters on networks like Netflix because they know the shows they have are good but when the numbers aren ’t backing up the belief then it’s bye bye to that show. Although the show ’s budget is extremely high. It was quite complex,the concept was very very dope…the ability to be; in lame man’s term,telepathically linked to seven other people who you can share things like,feelings and skill sets with.  These people are spread round the world and that’s where the matter of budget comes in. I do not know how but the Wachowski’s(show creators) managed to shoot in about 5 different countries in order to capture and make it even more realistic.. For a very ambitious show that has several mind boggling plot points,sense 8 manages to focus more on it’s characters and initially I hated ...
