Kratos is such a lame character

Eh, quite the contrary. Kratos already had to give up the opportunity to be with his daughter ever again in Chains of Olympus - he knows that his place is not with her. Calliope (his daughter) is in paradise, and he is too sullied to ever belong with her, even if she were alive.

Alternatively

The ending of God of War 2 just shows how far off the deep end Kratos has gone. We've seen him progress from trying to get his family back, to trying to rid himself of his past, to trying to get his family back again, to seeing that the whole universe is basically laser-targeting him for endless tragedy.

We've watched him shift from a sympathetic antihero to an apocalyptic supervillain. It's an interesting ride.

You seem to forget why Kratos left his daughter....Persephone(the antagonist) was going to destroy the pillars of the world to free herself from her fate. Kratos had to choose between being with his daughter and saving the world and he choose the world...

Chains of olympus and GOW1 I liked kratos as I stated before......as the game actually had kratos have a purpose , now all kratos did in GOW 2 was just chop off heads with no purpose but his own self.....which in essence makes him lame(only in GOW 2)

No I really didn't forget at all. I also remembered that in order to save the world he had to sully himself by slaughtering the spirits wandering the Elysian Fields.

Like I said: Kratos changed significantly. The apex of his character as a sympathetic antihero was when he tried to kill himself after killing Ares. The point here is that the gods have denied him even that, and it has made him ass-biting insane. He's a nihilist, but instead of holding that there are no intrinsic values he now behaves as if there are no values whatsoever! And now he's going to destroy the world.

That may not be particularly interesting to you but it's a logical growth for his character, and perfectly in keeping with what continues to happen to him. Yes, he's a monster now. You don't like mosnters. That's cool! But it doesn't make him inherently uninteresting.

I suppose I shouldn't call him a total monster - he wasn't a total monster in GoW2 until Athena died, telling him that all of Olympus would deny him. It wasn't until that moment that he decided to bring down the gods altogether, and it wasn't until that moment that he used the Threads of Fate for his giant doomsday plot.

"At that moment kratos knew his destiny wasnt with Calliope , the fates were not that kind"

His fate was to serve the gods and save the world.....the ironic thing is that kratos being with his daughter would mean him and both his daughter would die so he had to do the obvious thing(making the fates not kind).....and also he "sullied" himself AFTER that scene. The guy was a spartan , he killed 100s of men and then ate breakfast with his family the following day/week so that kind of blood on his hands wouldnt phase him.

And another thing.....At the end of GOW 2 ,kratos had control of the thing ruining his life.....his fate. The death of one god would not turn kratos into a monster , that is to suggest that kratos is avenging athena which is far from what he is doing. He was like this from the beginning of GOW2 till the end , killing with no purpose.....Its not that I dont like monsters its just that would a monster continue to be a monster if he had what he always wanted? Kratos could of had what he was fighting for in GOW1 but rejected it in GOW2 for brutality.....I dont find that logical at all
