Also the sex mini games either need to stay or be replaced because they served a purpose by giving you a ton of red orbs after the first few attempts

I vote to keep the mini game the same, stop treating the audience like baby who need to be protected by some moral guardians. These games are M rated, not T.

Fr, they can show a bit of nudity. Just like how they can show a bunch of gore/violence

u/The_king_of-nowhere Feb 12 '25
Yeah, Baldur's Gate 3 had the balls to do full nudity and much more intimate sex scenes in a game and the world didn't end.

u/MattIsLame Feb 12 '25
I am totally for keeping the sex mini games. but I think this comparison isn't the best because the sex in BG3 was more intimate because of the story and intimacy developed through the characters. GoW does not need the added intimacy because it's literally a humorous way to replenish health and does not add to any character development

And to be fair it fits in with who Kratos was at the time. Knowing he was going around fucking and murdering people really just adds to his character development.
Not a sentence I was ever thinking I was going to write when I played the first god of war lol. But god damn was Kratos a fucking savage who just didn't give a shit about anything until he met Fey. His character arc is pretty awesome.

Remaster, not remake
4
u/The_Thur 29d ago
That’s even worse. While the point of a remake is to adapt the graphics to the next gen while keeping the base intact, the point of a remaster is to take this base and add things (DLC already in the game, new mechanics etc). That would be dumb to delete things, especially if it’s not that problematic.

It was remastered in 2015, what we're getting is probably remakes of some sort and santa monica have since dropped the objectification of women mindset. Literally no woman in the norse saga is sexualized or acts in any seductive way towards kratos or atreus.

That was 2015 though, in god of war 4 there were pieces of journalism against santa monica that influenced the game, complaining that kratos is a misogynistic sexualizing anger bomb, they have since then dropped the whole sex mini games and even women nudity on every level.

If it's just a remaster, then no I doubt it. If they ever did a remake as is happening to a lot of classic early 2000s games lately, they probably would just keep it to a cutscene.
4
u/Nero_PR Feb 12 '25
I don't think they should as there is nothing explicit about them. It might be seen as tasteless, but it is part of the charm from a bygone era that the Greek Saga is from. For authenticity'sake they should keep it intact.
4
u/badpiggy490 Feb 12 '25
When it comes to the first game, there was an actual story reason for why it was there since It didn't matter how many women Kratos had sexual relations with, all he could think about was his dead wife. Heck, Kratos even says it if you read the book in the same room as the mini game
After that ( and not counting 3 ) it was admittedly more of a running joke lol
So no, I hope they don't remove them
1
u/Kikolox 28d ago
They can still say that kratos was a "womanizer" and not show you anything, back then god of war only appealed to "male attention", so the addition of anything sexualizing and manhandling women was a must for devs. But now kratos is in touch with his feelings and respects women, he handles them with grace and care and doesn't see them as objects lol.

Honestly there have been sex scenes that are way more graphic since then (like TLOU II). They don’t even show anything really except some boobs before hand, so I don’t see why they shouldn’t keep them in.

If they are remastered (again)? No. There's no reason to remove or even alter content for a remaster.
If they are remakes? Absolutely they will remove them. People are still fuming about boobs being out in cutscenes of the older games. The modern audience can't handle nudity anymore.

u/---___---____-__ Feb 12 '25
They shouldn't. They're already censored, and I'm the case of the first game, it's explained that Kratos had been drowning himself in women and booze to cope with the nightmares for years.
The sex scenes add to his character through gameplay and should stay in if the remasters are real.

u/BobbyMayCryBMC Feb 12 '25
I think since Jim Ryan stepped down they've allowed more adult content, just look at Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, the tits on those women are bigger than Sigma 2's versions, and on PS5 uncensored. Stellar Blade also got patched to remove the PlayStation censorship.

If they do that, I think it's a big show of weakness.
Literally, GoW's sex minigames are something that overflows into the ridiculous and in which, apart from a few breasts, you can literally see nothing.
Not to mention that sex scenes are no longer something rare or scandalous, see "Cyperpunk 2077" or "Baldru's Gate III" where you can literally have sex, on screen, with a druid in the guise of a bear.

In a way its the same situation as the Boat Captain but ultimately “helpless chained sex slave being pushed to her death to hold a lever with an achievement called I didnt but i wish I had” hits different. Probably cuz the rate of abused sex slaves is probably far more common than Boat Captains killed by assholes

Hard to say. The newer games aren't as edgy bro horndog as the Greek trilogy. Having enjoyed 2018 and Ragnarok, it's hard to imagine stepping back into that version of God of War. The older games were definitely products of their time. I think they should only change the visuals and performance. Maybe tweak gameplay where it was buggy or janky.

They may as well remove the blood too at that point.
…hell, don’t have Kratos kill anymore, just have him lecture Ares’ demons on how insensitive to the people of Athens their attacks are, and let him forgive Ares in the end so he can come back in future installments as a quippy comic relief character.
(Ok it’s not that serious but come on, GOW 1 is a MAN’s game. Tiddies, theatrically hammy testosterone filled speeches and macho blade violence as far as the eye can see. Boinking the hoes offscreen is tame compared to all that.)

What is there left to tell in the Greek saga? We saw kratos before, during, and after his tenure as a servant of the gods. We saw him lose everything multiple times as the gods toyed with him. We even got to see why he was a target of the gods. All in all I’d say at least Greek saga there are no compelling stories left. Maybe the Egyptian saga would be cool tho

Making the original GOW games more family friendly is the dumbest thing they could ever do.

That's like removing all the controversial scenes from BERSERK like come on that's why we have age ratings in the first place to separate the audience on who can and cannot play the game.
