I never even thought about something like that. To me God of War is just a fun action game, I really don't care too much about the story. All I can say is, there is no excuse for murder. And Kratos murdered quite a lot of people, including many many innocents. So yeah, at the end of the day he's still an asshole. An asshole with reasons maybe, but still an asshole. Then again, it's the player who makes Kratos do all those things, right? We always have the choice to just quit a game. But we still decide to move on and slay monsters and people like there's no tomorrow.
But whatever, I really don't care too much. ^^
