 So if we called him jim, but he did th same thing you'd be ok, because that is essentially what GoW is, its the same old story, with just a new dude, wh does the same thing is nevery game, the gods hate me so I must kill them


What's with you and these ridiculous posts?

In GoW, Kratos, the narrator (Gia), and Athena (Who dies in the 2nd one) only return. Also, can you tell me a story where a Spartan kills the son of Zeus, and declares war on the gods on Mount Olympus with the titans? Also, I'm not to sure if a Spartan actually killed so many Greek figures as he has. 

Also, I can say that someone being kidnapped has also been mimicked to death.

When you get Mario, Princess Peach, Bowser, and the same plot, you don't think it starts to get redundant? Like I said earlier, they could try a mix with Bowser and Wario, have the victim be, which would be an eye-opener, Luigi, Mario's partner. They could even make a game where Bowser seems to be in trouble and have Mario try to save him, which would mean introducing new characters, and not to disappoint fans, have Bowser lead Mario into a trap.

A lot of people make it seem like changing the story is an impossibilty, when it really is not.


 They're meant to be ridiculous on purposeto prove a point, the story of Kratos seems nothing more than a mix of greek myths, like killing his own family, sounds like Hercules, battles between the titans and the gods is a major theme of the myths as is gods and humans battling, heck in that Hercules and Xena TV show they even had them kill the greek gods, sounds like the game just mixed other stories.  Hence why its boring.

 Also they have had changes, Super princess Peach and Luigis' mansion for example, yet people prefer the ones that follow the same old formula, seems that the story isn't such a concern.

 

See that's the difference , GoW, tries to present itself as being a great story, which its not, mario doesn't try to fake it, it admits its story is silly, even making fun of it, but it has great gameplay
