Woohoo, official off-topic thread!

"Power levels" are only different at all because to have it exactly as they were in myths would render the game unplayable. Also, do you actually know anything about Greek mythology? The gods were basically a bunch of drunken grudgey 13 year olds. They constantly screwed with people simply because they could. So acting as they do in the game is very much in character for them.

So yes, it's a far cry from Odin and Gilgamesh and Shiva and Ifrit and the other FF characters who only share a name and nothing else. I mean, last I checked the mythological Shiva was not an ice goddess.

The Gods in mythology were horny, immature, asses, sure, but they were far more powerful. Atlas in mythology held up space itself, in the game he only holds up a section of earth. The gods in GoW and mtyh in terms of power are not even comparable. The way they act or there personalities should not matter in a vs. thread, as it is the capabilities of the character that counts.

Actually the way a character acts and their personality is VERY important and matters greatly, because someone could be the strongest person in the world but if they're easily-frightened, overly-arrogant, prone to a horrid temper, etc., their powers aren't going to matter all. It's not so simple as "they're powerful" and everyone and everything has flaws and weaknesses.

You also missed me saying that they may have been more powerful but making them as powerful as they were capable of in the myths would make the game unplayable.

2. ...So? They could have had them at those levels, but made Kratos that powerful in the game as well.

1. Of course, but in these threads, CIS is never taken into account for some reason. Kain would probably pee himself at the sight of Pyron, but Burning thought thinks Kain can solo his verse.

BT thinks Dante can take anything 😛

And believe it or not, but overpowering characters in a game generally isn't a good idea. Everything should scale according to the main character's power level, not the other way around.

Also you do need to keep in mind that there are many, many different versions of the myths.

And just upping EVERYONE'S powers? No. Bad. You build everything to the player character, not the player character to everything.

2. Of course not, but actually, sometimes it still happens, Ganondorf is immensly more powerful than Link in all ways(even speed and reaction time), yet still loses, due to one plot device which couldn't kill him when he didn't have the Triforce of Power.

3. That is true, some sources state Atlas lifted space(the universe), some say it was merely the sky. But this actually helps me, in terms of power, the myth gods powers fluctuated, whereas GoW stayed the same, so that is why I believe they should be allowed in threads.

Not his best feats... I've seen both movies with Mewtwo and the anime episode. Mewtwo did nothing better than those showings and his fight with Mew.

Call it more a correction than a challenge 😛

How can you correct that which can never be wrong?

And we are NOT going through the GoW gods thing again. It's decided, it's done with, and arguing is just going to get you on our bad side. It's not up for discussion, so just deal.
