Anyone who says "Kratos Sucks" must be killed.

Why are people hating on this review, just because he doesn't like Kratos? He still gave the game a 9.

[TheMightySinnerHD]

@DanTheMan33088 That's not a good enough reason to cut points. It's like saying that your teacher giving you a 90 out of 100 when you got everything correct, just because he doesn't like you.

@SuperSomeone666 So you think just because some of US think that Kratos doesn't suck means we have never read a meaningful book or seen an artistic film.. Has it ever occur to you that some of us like Kratos just because of the game and gameplay (weapons/powers)? I never said I like his personality and emotions oh and some of us like myself do read meaningful books so don't go judge all of us. You don't even know our lifestyle! I know where you're coming from but no need to say things like that.

[SuperSomeone666]

@SkyLineZ26 Yes, he does. He's little more than a poorly written angry cliche created for teenagers without personality to latch on to. Anybody who thinks that the actual personality and emotions of Kratos is good clearly has never read a meaningful book or seen an artistic film.

@PlaystationDude2095 What are you, like eight?

[SuperSomeone666]

Just because I love throwing oil on the fire (and because I actually think this and am not eight years old), Kratos is a pretty shallow character. From the first game all the way up to the last game, he has a little to no depth whatsoever. He's just been angry the entire time. And while I can appreciate a defining characteristic like that, he's just so poorly written. AND he's an asshole. Easily one of the most unsympathetic characters in video games.

While watching this video I just realized something, that Kratos is indeed a pale brute who yells way to much. That is my opinion tho :)

Don't tell me the dislikes are mostly cause he doesn't like Kratos, and that most probably isn't the reason it got a 9, one person doesn't decide the score does he? As for Kratos, some people find him hardcore/awesome, some people find him annoying/hateful, I personally find his character funny/amusing.
