franchises and GoW don't need a "nice" protagonist, but a non-onedimensional one would be a good thing I'd welcome playing as a plainly bad guy over having this paper thin "oh they made me kill my family" motivation that was exhausted after the first game |
The death of his family was only one factor for him being so angry. The gods promise to free him of his nightmares about killing his family after he kills the Hydra King if he was to kill Ares. Which he does, but the gods don't keep their promise and Kratos keeps having nightmares and so his disdain towards the gods grows. Then he goes to Rhodes to destroy the city and Zeus tricks him pretending to help him overcome the Clossus which Zeus himself granted life, and gives him the Blades Of Olympus to destroy the Colossus but which takes away his powers and then after he is injured by the Colossus Zeus kills him.
It wsa that which made him want to kill Zeus, as previously while he was still angry over the gods he didn't have any personal beef with Zeus, and that was where GOW II started and the gods continued to do things to anger him further in both GOW II and III.
Like Helios in GOW III was given the chance to live by simply telling Kratos where the fires of Olympus was, but he refused despite Kratos having saved him from Atlas in COO, he further went on to insult Kratos. The story of the series is cleverly told through narrative and hints like a novel, not straightforward like Uncharted and most movies do, and we know which meduium tels better stories :P
