Yep...I suffered thru it in both HS and College.

I think we can fully agree on the extreme stretching involved in turning a mild mannered Poet into a raging God of War (you like that pun...huh), but I suspended my belief right around the time I heard about the and said to myself "...WTF...wasn't this guy a poet?..." I just think anyone can judge the game, based on it's alignment to source material, especially when comparing it to Kratos fighting Zeus?!?!?! We start slipping into the arguing on how World War Hulk can Beat Superman. If you say DI is worst than God of War 1...I really can't debate that...I can say the demo looked okay to me, and I'll try it when it comes out...BTW...where is Hercules in God of War storyline?

Then I don't see how the incongruity slips by you. Dante was damn near anemic, a person swept along on a hellstorm of circumstances that were beyond his control. He had very little agency in the whole thing.

It's a game...don't you think you're going a little too deep? I'm still confused as to what the problem is here?
Oooh, but...Wolverine, Conan, Viking and a host of other games are very similiar as well...why didn't those cause as much of a stir amongst the God of War faithful?
