I'm just a few hours in and I'm really enjoying it. I can see this being the best in regards to game play. But it doesn't look like they put any effort in the story.


Thats the main reason the game keeps getting 8's. If the story was as good as all the others it would've been a solid nine. I play God of War for gameplay to tell you the truth. I want to see what Greek mythical being I can destroy next with Kratos, but I also like his story overall. He's just a simple yet vaguely complex character because he just doesnt give up and killing cannot be his only reason for rising from the dead numerous times. Unlike most other characters he has the burning will to execute his goals and endeavors and for that he stands higher than most videogame characters. Kratos despite his bloody and ash riddled exterior is the personification of persistance and determination to reach your goals and seeing them through to the end.

How can he be a complex character when every iteration of GOW , kratos gets fooled teh same exact way  over promise that never stands true when he competes the task asked byt he gods. I mean wouldn't kratos learned from mistakes after the first two games?  The only reason why they have been so many GOW games because Kratos is stupid gullable chracters that naked women  and tits can sway him in doign everythign which leads to him raging and killign everypne. 'personification of persistance and determination to reach your goals and seeing them through to the end." HOWS that work when he causes thes goals to happen. if he was smart enough he should have said no and not get persuaded by teh gods knwoign that thye can never keep his promise. Can't say much about ascension as i haven't finished the game yet. 


I never said he was the worlds greatest detective or multidimensional character. Kratos is not Odysseus, but yet hes found ways to survive the smarter of Zeuses more popular demi-god sons. Kratos is smarter than Hercules by default. God of War 3 shows exactly what the greeks said that huberis will be your fall no matter how smart or great you think you are. This can be said for the chase between Kratos and Hermes. He chased him for god knows how long until he finally cornered him and cut off his legs. It shows what kind of man you're dealing with. You see, Kratos isn't dumb he was a war general for the Spartan Army who soon follows his deity roots and becomes a god. Kratos solves puzzles and got out of Hera's labrynth where she assumed he'd be trapped forever even in death. He escaped Hades three times which not even gods are allowed to do with the exception of Hermes and Persephone in particular. Hermes is a special case and a trickster at that and Kratos served him his end well. If Kratos is gullible than a whole lot of people in the real world armed forces are as well. He's  trained to take orders  but when hes off the leash hes seen as a mad dog as any train military operative who goes on a killing spree would be seen as. As for the promise, Spartan soldiers died and paid tribute to their gods, no one is above them. If they say they can get rid of dreams you do the  math. A gods power can at times be dependent on the worship of those beneath them. What would any greek hero who couldnt get rid of bad dreams do? Go find a god that can take the bad dreams away. Its as simple as that.
