I actually never played God of War. Not a hack and slash player for the most part. And I went mostly of gameplay videos to make that decision. 

Based on gameplay videos I think this might be a game for me. So I am getting it. 

It will be my 1st GoW but I am not too worried about not getting the story or something based on what I have read the previous games were not too deep in that area so probably not missing much.

The GoW franchise actually has a surprisingly good story that has quite a bit to it. The reason the past games don't get much credit for their story is because of their over the top cartoon-ish characterizations. Especially of Kratos. 

This is something people who only watch snippets of the game on Youtube will never understand.

The cartoonishly over the top nature of the characters is both explained by the story itself and by the source material. God of War accurately represents the tone and characters in the Greek mythology.
