The thing is, we're talking about two different kinds of violence. The reason GTA does so well is that it offers you freedom to do whatever you want in a semi-realistic sandbox. With that freedom, you can choose to be violent or not be, depending on your personality. It's all comical and laughable violence that you don't get nightmares from.
God of war, however, from the title alone, speaks volumes about the kind of violence you see in it. Kratos does such otherwordly sick stuff that it's hard for other people to stomach it. And you have no choice but to go on killing in creative ways even if you're not that type of person. Also, there is no lighthearted violence here. Kratos just screams while ripping heads off. This series is all serious drama with a subject a lot of people don't care about (mythology).

It seems very clear that you haven’t played the new GoW. This is nothing compared to the old games. I could never like them due to the excessive violence. Conversely, the new GoW is likely my favorite game of the entire gen.

But it carries the name. People know the name. The series has a reputation that we're not about to forget any time soon. That reputation will make people not care about it and avoid it.
And i am currently playing it, and it's still violent as ever. It's just more "artsy" now.
