I've played a little over all the main ones and I've never gotten into them. I've never been a fan of the button masher beat'em up genre. I didn't care for Dante's Inferno either and all my friends raved about it. I'm a huge old school Castlevania fan but I didn't like Lords of Shadow. I dig hot chicks with long hair but I didn't care for Bayonetta. I did like Asura's Wrath, but I think only because it's so damn crazy and more of an interactive anime than a game.
The only beat'em ups I like are all old school ones like Golden Axe and I think it's only because of nostalgia. God of War just never appealed to me as a game. Part of it could be that I don't like Kratos at all. Not even a little bit. He'd make a great villain but as a hero he is the opposite of what I want to play as. |
This right here shows the misconception of Kratos for those who have not played the franchise. He is was is known as an anti-hero. To understand the character of Kratos all of the games must be played in order. Thew newest game of Ascension will go deeper into who he was as a human being and his family life despite his issue with the furies. If you hate characters like Kratos, I am sure in comics you must also hate Wolverine, Punisher, the Hulk or even Roscharch.

I am well aware of wha Aris did to Kratos. But I still find him to be one of the most unlikable character in gaming. I do like Wolverine, but not Kratos. I like the Punisher, but not Kratos. I like Bruce Banner, but not Kratos. One of my favorite anti-heroes is Guts from Berserk who has a lot in common with Kratos' tragic backstory, but I don't like Kratos. He's the type of guy that if I walked into a bar and saw him I'd turn around and go to another bar. I don't like even like his character design. There really isn't anything about him I find appealing to play as at all. But I could have looked past all of that if the gameplay peaked my interest, but it's not my kind of genre.

Wha? You don't like Kratos and his totally unique character design!?
