Kratos is such a lame character

A lot of the stuff you mentioned has nothing to do with the character and everything to do with the game, which isn't really what we're debating. I still think Kratos is as lame as 90% of video game characters. It's just the video game characters generally are lame and generic and really a bit crap compared to characters in other media. The remaining 10% is golden though.

You completely missed the point.  The point is that I see other characters doing variety.  I see no variety what-so-ever in God of War and it makes the amazing seem mundane.

I know these characters don't have depth and do things every other game does, but at least they do more than one thing.

Variety? Most of the characters just shoot or climb or a mixture of the two. Kratos slashes, climbs, spins chains around and uses magic. Neither more or less variety really. Yes he doesn't change his attitude and desire for vengeance, but then that's kinda the point... ya know, like 300. And you started the thread talking about the character, not the game. Variety is more a complaint about the game and gameplay than the character, no?

He has different attacks but it's still just him doing the same things (not I am talking about just advertisements and such, should have made that clear in the OP, oh well).

Every time you see him it's always just him being brutal and it's boring.

If you take something like Uncharted I see Drake hanging off stuff, shooting people, quircky dialogue and characters.  There's variety there.

The fact that everything you see of Kratos is him ripping off a dude's head, ripping some giants fingernail off, or ripping some skeleton/giant things eyes out it just gets boring and makes him seem lame.

Drake is by far the less fantastic character but he is infinitely more interesting.
