Kratos has no personality. Shit Wolverine has more personality than Kratos. There i found a "Bad ass " with a personality. 

What's even more interesting are all the people that think not liking a character is the same thing as flaming a console.  If I hated everything PS3 I wouldn't have compemented Uncharted so much, said how terrible I think Gears of War story is, and how horrible a character Mario is.

Whatever, I guess people see whatever they want to see when they have blinders on.  If they love them some PS3, anything negative towards anything having to do with anything even remotely related to the PS3 must be fanboy trolling drivel.

look how many Kratos' gf you have angered.. tsk.


I love the .gif BTW. Kratos rocks!!!

So what would make people happy? If Kratos stopped every once in a while, sat down for a drink and cracked some jokes and had a laugh?

Maybe chit chat about his life before everything went wrong during the entire game?


The guy is brutal for a reason. He was a Spartan general and Spartans were already bad ass enough. The guy made a pact with Ares and it ended up costing him to murder his own wife and child.

The damn guy wears their ashes on his skin and a non stop reminder of what he did.


If that was you, would you be smiling every once in a while or cracking some jokes? Would you stop periodically to tell people stories of the better times? No, you would be a lunatic.

That is who Kratos is. He is a Spartan who's acts of brutality cost him in the most severe way and now he is just a man full of rage with nothing left to lose.

By the way, how many other characters do we have that are this brutal and have a story like Kratos' to go along with it? Do we have others who not only have their memories to haunt them but physical alterations from those brutal acts that they must carry for the rest of their life?

Unless we do I would say he is pretty unique to me. He is just brutal, but he has a very legitimate reason.

u just made me lol work

Or like many men/fathers that would break down and cry over the loss of their loved ones, just because it was Greek mythology doesn't mean they were void of love and emotion, even spartans.

It has always made sense why Kratos' character is the way he is. It has never been just mindless brutality. There has always been so much reasoning for it and quite honestly I could see anyone going nuts if they experienced what he has. His mission now is to destroy everything related to that which destroyed his life.

It just helps for one to know what they are criticizing before they go ahead and criticize.

Even though I know this is just a movie, I remember in 300 there was a point where the friend of Leonidus' son was killed right in front of him.

He was upset at first, just as Kratos was when he first realized what he had just done.

After that he went into a frenzy.

Did that make his character lame all of a sudden.

It just seems like everyone would be happy if Kratos stopped a view times a game and started crying.

Edit -

Just remembered that the character I just mentioned cried after his frenzy.

Do you really believe that kratos cares about his family?......He had the means to bring them back with the threads of fate and yet he didnt....he had the means to correct his mistake and yet he  didnt.....that takes away any meaning to whatever he did in GOW2 and will do in GOW 3.

Eh, quite the contrary. Kratos already had to give up the opportunity to be with his daughter ever again in Chains of Olympus - he knows that his place is not with her. Calliope (his daughter) is in paradise, and he is too sullied to ever belong with her, even if she were alive.

Alternatively

The ending of God of War 2 just shows how far off the deep end Kratos has gone. We've seen him progress from trying to get his family back, to trying to rid himself of his past, to trying to get his family back again, to seeing that the whole universe is basically laser-targeting him for endless tragedy.

We've watched him shift from a sympathetic antihero to an apocalyptic supervillain. It's an interesting ride.
