Was Bayonetta 2 Nintendo's answer to God Of War?

...I don't think you are getting what I am saying. Greek Mythology and all of its vile whatnots are great, but that doesn't make God of War a good story. It just means that it has some cool lore behind it. Watch the Extra Credits video I posted a few posts back for a better description of how God of War's story devolved into rage fueled nothingness. 

I understand where you are going and I accept God of War because I accept Greek Mythology for what it was. Dude...Kratos is bascially an OP Hercules with an uncontrollable raged minus the twelve trials. Also, if you know of Greek mythology, its perfectly understandable that Kratos wasn't very smart, but much like Hercules only a warrior who met the duties of a hero. Once again...a hero specifically could not be a god, but rather a demi-god.  Sure its a reimagined world...but the creators were not far off with their understanding of how the mythos truly went. It was a blood thirsty world constantly brimming people people who didnt trust one another and constantly trying to overthrow one another. The other major difference between Kratos and Hercules is that Kratos didnt take sides because the majority of the time he was getting screwed over by the gods and the Titans alike. If Zeus couldn't control Kratos...he was better off dead to him. Same thing with Gaia who tricked Kratos into helping her overthrow Zeus (God of War 2) and then turned on him as they ascended Mount Olympus at the beginning of God of War 3.
