One of my favourite performances in any video game ever. Such an interesting portrayal

To me, it’s kinda disappointing. His first appearance and words reminded me about that mafia guy first appearance in gta 5. All those stories in the previous game are kinda let down in this game. Nothing manacing or threatening about his performance.
So fucking gangster.
I found it interesting, he doesn’t need a physically imposing form like the others, he clearly has mastery over several magical disciplines and just demands respect. Like this is a guy that has seen some shit and possesses insane knowledge, a guy who’s good at bending others to his will. Probably among my favorite contemporary takes of Odin.
Why is it so hard to write what character/game are you talking about
I hate this trend so much
He’s goofy…his attitude, remarks, and dialogue are stupid…he could be an imposter of Odin.
It’s not the Odin we know.
Odin as a smooth talker manipulator was just, awesome, even more in a series where the ‘final boss’ is always some hammy brute, like Zeus or Ares.
When u first meet him he sounds like someone out of a Mafia movie
I got some real Lex Luther vibes outta this guy, it was great.
It was a somewhat interesting decision. The problem is it doesn’t make him particularly imposing and so the final boss fight is just very underwhelming. There isn’t really any sense of danger. And his “roar” of anger came across as rather pathetic.
>!Honestly, during the middle parts of the game, I actually started to wonder if the game was going to have a plot twist with Odin not actually being that bad a guy, and the rift and whatever was beyond it would turn out to be the big bad or whatever… Of course, then you realise he really was the bad guy all along, and you’re like “well, duh!”, but it really shows you how great a manipulator he was.!<
Nice spoilertag. I have not gotten to play it yet.
100% with you like his way of interacting with Atreus was so convincing I almost believe he is good but misunderstood then started to doubt that with the way he treated thor then THE REVEAL , Kratos : you see that bald guy Boi Fuck him
I think he’s good, but I really hate when they use the actor’s face as the model in the game.
So Stanley Tucci. The Tucci Man
He talks and behaves like a Sopranos character, not what a i expected from someone who gave an eye in exchange of wisdom…but an interesting take for sure.
Hot take: Norse gods shouldn’t have nasal American accents.
If he treat his family better he would be unstoppable. Too bad he’s the villain in this story.
I assume it’s Odin from GoW 5?
If a screenshot like this is posted it should be a rule that the game name needs to be in the post too so people can look up the game and not have to worry about finding spoilers in the comments.
I wasn’t feeling this portrayal at the beginning, but I really grew to appreciate the character as I progressed through the story. Really had me questioning whether he was actually that bad for a little while there.
All the voice acting in general was a strange choice but I ended up liking at least most of it
Yes this actually matches the mythology pretty closely too. He was never described as a warrior, more of a wise, old, knowledgeable manipulator.
Go watch The West Wing. Richard Schiff is the fucking man
He reminded me of a mob esq union leader.
Man I’m so sick of this sub not requiring a mention of the game in the title or as a tag. Why do I have to go through comments to know the game? In this case not one comment mentions what this game is.
Play Quantum break now
When he first shows up and its mo-capped and you see him control the fucking room. Yeah, he was great. The other appearances I have seen after that it doesn’t seemed mo-capped and its just an audio performance. Not nearly as good.
Ragnarok has the best portrayal of the Norse mythology. Thor and Odin were so great.
It’s a very interesting choice they made for the character. I definitely wasn’t expecting it, but he was awesome.
I loved it how you expect ancient talk and you get some kind of sons of anarchy talk, it was smooth as fuck.
One of the things that I loved about the newer God of War games is that the gods aren’t just boss battles but characters.
