Firstly on the sex stuff. What you're talking about is story telling. The scenes don't need to pan out 1:1 to convey him being a sexual hedonist. They can keep it explicit without necessary showing it in the same way.

As for the violence, I think them taming it down (My reference is GOW3) is very likely simply as a reflection of more modern graphical presentation. I still expect it to be gruesome, but more an 8 on the scale if the original was a 10.

None of this would equate to a disservice imo. You don't need to see The Boys level of gore in order to understand Kratos is violent. I think people should just chill a bit in the anticipation of things being toned down and just wait to see whether what is delivered actually works and does service to the characters and story.

Kratos did what he did, he has already done it, it's not about he needs to be more brutal, or he needs to have sex all the time, it's about depicting what he did when he did, for the exact reasons he had.

About the sex, it being somewhat differently presented? Sure. It being removed? No.

About the violence, as you used numbers, if it was a 10, than it should keep being a 10. Why would Kratos need to be less violent? The guy was the embodiment of violent madness.

Toning it down is indeed a disservice.

Why are people so sensible? The game will be rated in line with what it presents, so the public knows it.

Again, those things already happened, people know exactly what to expect, and games or any kind of media, having explict content is completely fine. Games like Mortal Kombat or series like Game of Thrones, they are what they are.

God of War is what it is.

The sex mini games, in the original, gives red orbs for leveling purposes.  I just didn't like it, found it unnecessary.  It can be made optional, e.g. no experience points or rewritten. 

As for GoT, I enjoyed the books and the show, but yes, there are some scenes that are just not needed in the show.  There is a fine line between telling a story and just being childish.  Just my 2 cents.
