The one video game character you can't stand?

lol he knew he was a c**t, he was a tormented man who became a monster blinded by rage, something a lot of us have can relate to. In the end even he was disgusted at the chaos he had wrought and saw fit to do the only decent thing he could, end his life.

He didn't do it to become a martyr, who exactly would he be a martyr to? Everyone still alive would've wanted him dead haha. His suicide was his final fuck you to Athena to deprive her the power to be the one true God and also because he felt his life wasn't worth living after his destructive quest for vengeance & atonement was complete, releasing hope to mankind was just a positive by-product of his final act of defiance/selfishness. 

Kratos is my fav character as if it isn't obvious :P

I didn't really see this, but it's arguable I suppose.

Regarding your second paragraph, what you are saying makes sense from the point of view of Kratos, but what I'm saying is that the developers made him take that choice to make into some sort of hero/martyr at the end of the game, kinda like to compensate for all the crap he did (they obviously failed if that was their intention). After all the rage and hatred he showed during the whole game, that ending just doesn't fit with everything else. I think making Athena return is probably the biggest factor into this whole problem. Killing himself alone would've been a lot more powerful, doing it pretty much just to screw with Athena is kinda lame.
