Blade Of Olympus vs Soul Reaver

It's uses are no more limited than what a sword is normally meant to be used for. With what powers it has, it has potentially limitless uses (or at least limitless raw power).

The Loom Chamber was collapsing at the end of God of War 2, and yet Kratos still brought the Titans back to his timeline after he travelled to the time of the Great War, I'm really on the assumption that he doesn't need the Loom Chamber that much to at least control and travel through time.

What i meant by uses is by the number of things it can do, special powers, its uses are limited in comparison to the Reaver for example the reaver gives teleportation type powers in the form of dimensional movements, soul swallowing meaning it could defeat enemies far beyond the BoO since the BoO is mostly destructive in power, slashing with the reaver howver would drain even the most durable of souls.

if he didnt need it, he wouldnt of used the threads to travel to when he

Spoiler:
went back to stop Zeus in the first place

I'm aware of that much in comparison to Soul Reaver. But if that meant it was immediately less powerful, then that's only because of how little we've seen the Blade of Olympus in actual use BEYOND combat. All I'm saying is that even if Soul Reaver is more powerful (which I'm not denying), it's not by much overall, because like I said, the BoO's powers give it (or at least its wielder, which is irrelevant here, I suppose) possibly limitless potential.

That doesn't explain how he took all the Titans from a time before he was even born back to his own time to fight the Gods without any direct use of the chamber or his own thread (yes, he used the thread to enter that direct time, but nothing suggests he used it to return to the present with the Titans). Kratos used his own thread to find his own fate, not travel through it. And yes, the Loom Chamber was quite clearly in pretty bad shape after Kratos returned the first time (there was tremoring, and pieces were falling all over the screen), I really doubt it's gonna pop back up unscathed in the third game.

who knows well just have to see, but i dont see anywhere where suddenly Kratos would gain his own time shifting powers by himself, nothing changed that would give him the power, if he used it to get there, he likely needs it to get back or move through time otherwise he would not of used it in the first place, but either way it doesnt matter, the debate is Soul reaver Vs BoO which i belive has already been solved 😄

Soul Reaver by far. Blade of the Olympus is a joke. Kind of sad when you dont find a weapons true abilities by using it in combat. SMH

The first time it was used was in the middle of a war, and it created a world-scaping shockwave that engulfed every Titan in range. It also decimated an entire city-full of soldiers (with a single swipe), and also killed what could only be killed by the power of Pandora's Box. If that's a joke, then alot of other weapons are the opening acts for it. Like I said, even if it's less powerful than Sould Reaver (and I can admit that's possible, if not already likely), it's still more powerful than most other weapons that I can think of comparing it to (like for example, the long-ass katana that everyone's favorite silver-haired nutcase wields).

Total destruction does not necessarily equals extreme power. There are more than one way to peel a banana. You will see a larger, still powerful variation of peeling from Soul Reaver 🙂

True, but intant banishment to Tartarus, power-absorption does not necessarily equal total destruction--the BoO's at least a little more versatile than that, but it is still primarily a weapon.

If Kratos need the chamber to manipulate time, how was he able to bring the titans back in time to aid him then. If i rember right he wasn't in the chamber....

I don't know much about the Reaver, but from what ive read it's powerful. I'm still going with the Blade of Olympus on this. fully upgraded it can fire beams without having to charge up and, as said above, it can wipe out entire armies in the right hands.

Raw power is BoO, versatility is Reaver.

BoO is douched

SR>BoO.
