New God of War Not Showing Up at PlayStation Experience, Director Says

@joshua304: Right, because any valid criticism that doesn't meet your standard of adulation is now "complaining." Great things can influence other things but not to the point of them disowning their identity and imitating to such a degree. TLoU is hardly great though but I won't get into that now.

Your original statement and point when you did a tl;dr Barlog quote was that it's still a GOW game as long as it has Kratos in it, like the main character is the only requisite to meet that classification. I gave you examples of other characteristics that define a game besides the main character which you completely ignored because you're ass kissing the franchise and their creators to the point that you're illogical and blind, or maybe that's the reason you did so in the first place.

As for Kratos being "immortal", just because he's the son of Zeus doesn't make him one, shows how much you know while you're blabbering away like you know better. He's more like Perseus, Theseus and Hercules. In fact, saying he's an "immortal demigod" really gives you away because you fail to see the contradiction inherent in that phrase. But no shit he's a demigod God killer, nothing to do with my point that you missed my point (that I'll try one last time to communicate) of how he's going from killing the Gods' of one culture to those of another, Gods' which represent the same elements/ deities in each. Ares being the God of War in Greek mythology and Tyr being the God of War in Norse mythology. Zeus and Thor for lightning and so on. Kratos was born in the Greek mythology universe where no other belief system exists or has room to exist, and doesn't have any legit reason for rampaging into another one because those Gods' never coexisted in any form except for the belligerent justification and excessive creative freedom practiced and shown with this statement:

"Barlog talked about how each culture's mythological belief system coexisted with one another and were all "separated by geography.""

Riight. Let's just cut the bull and say the real reason: To imitate a much more successful franchise's elements when their own was wavering by appealing to a broad mainstream market and its trends, in the process forgoing what made it GOW, and keeping Kratos in it as the only recognizable link to the franchise's remaining prestige power to make the most money because all the reasons given thus far are as weak as humanizing him and trying to turn an anti-hero into a protagonist. Instead of starting fresh, they're now trying to turn his reputation around while, depending on the outcome of Kratos in this game, likely insinuating Greek mythology is better than Norse. If you can't see that, you really are a blind, illogical fanboy in a dire need of understanding product marketing, and milking a soft reboot which should've been a full reboot with a new main character.

I have all the GOW plats and played and still own the ones on PS2 when they released so nice try with that poor assumption that you call reasoning. I've played them enough to have an understanding and critique of the direction they've chosen to go and in this case, that's my analysis. You like all these AAA games being homogenized and losing their originality and unique appeal, cool, I don't. Not in the slightest. Creators can get so full of themselves that they think they can do no wrong and fanboys like you will apparently swallow it all up.
