I think I would probably put the God of War franchise over the MGS franchise in terms of storytelling - not in terms of plot, mind you. Just that the writers of God of War know their own material, know how to parse it down, and don't have their heads up their own collective ass.

Take from that comparison what you will.

I disagree because of their complete butchering of greek literature.

As i've said before... the whole thing looks like it was written by a guy who got drunk while watching Hercules the Legendary Journies capped off by Chronicles of Riddick.

 But God of War has a good storyline. And the Gameplay is fantasic. So you clearly dont know anything if you believe that its crap.

Cause gameplay is relevent in a storyline discussion?

The story is horrible, it doesn't play true to the actual source matieral... if you don't realize this... well I don't know what to tell you.  Go read a book on greek mythology?

No two sources of Greek mytholog build on the same story anyway, and faithfulness to Homer's stories is by no means a proper barometer for good storytelling. Hell, the way in which they subvert the character of the original Kratos is great, if somewhat meat-headed.

The story is sitll told effectively, and it holds to its genre, knowing what's important to communicate.
