10 Biggest WTF Moments In Recent Video Games
3. Game Ov-Oh, Never Mind - God Of War: Ragnarok
In God of War: Ragnarok, Kratos and his son, Atreus, find themselves at war with the Norse pantheon once more. As they travel across the nine realms, the pair encounter many arduous adversaries, including vicious Valkyries, the merciless Sigrun, and Odin the Allfather.
However, the foe that's sure to leave everyone quaking in their boats is the next-in-line for Asgard's throne, Thor.
Don't let his beer belly and dishevelled appearance deceive you. During the first face-off, the hammer-wielding destroyer reminds Kratos why he is the one true prince of Asgard.
Unable to compete with Thor's vastly superior strength, the Ghost of Sparta is sure to meet his end shortly after the bout begins as part of an unbeatable QTE. As the loading screen appears, the player expects the game to return them to their last checkpoint.
But, out of nowhere, mighty god of thunder interrupts the Game Over screen, by electrocuting Kratos back to life!
Why does the boorish deity do this? So he can kill Kratos all over again, of course!
Even though the final battle with Thor is far more epic, nothing in God of War: Ragnarok has the same effect as this masterful fake-out.
