I was going to make this comment in this thread but decided I didn't want to derail it so I'll just put it in this thread.
I see stuff like this:
and it's just amazing how generic, boring, and lame of a character that Kratos is and how many people swoon over him. The only people that seem to beat him are Cloud and Sephiroth.
Now this is coming from someone who has only played the first God of War (I have God of War II but I still haven't opened it >_>) but Kraton is just so uninteresting and generic looking in every way. They try to make him look uber brutal by doing these brutal things, but I don't know, it just comes off as a B movie trying too hard. I see all these random gifs of him and he just reeks of generic action hero, I just don't see the appeal.
Don't get me wrong, the game looks fantastic (though the blood looks silly), it's just Kratos is so boring.
