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?

I'm not speaking as one of the "God of War faithful", God of War wasn't my favorite action game from last gen anyway.
The problem is that it is shitting all over the source material in ways that game adaptations have rarely, if ever, done before. This is almost apocalyptic. The only way to appropriately sum it up would be with the elder swear, the utterance of which would kill me and then everyone who read it.

LOL...you'll get no argument from me as to the abusing of the source material, but I'd hardly categorize this as the coming of the four horsemen...Hey...I just got an idea for a new game...Apocalyptic Gods...it will play like God of War, but you'll have Conquest who is a Ranger Character, War, who is like Kratos, Famine who is a Warlock/Mage, and Death who is...well...Death. 4-man Co-op would rock...okay...bad joke, and worst idea, so don't call the Christian coalition on me. The is this...it is about suspending belief...it's not like Divine Comedy is a true story...it's a 800 year old poem. Look at Beowulf, and all the liberal takes on that story? Better yet, look at 300 the movie...did you absolutely hate it?

This is an example of a better idea for an action game than Dante's Inferno.
