I've always hated these damn hardcore feminists. These people aren't women's right activists or egalitarians, they're people who believe that your rights end where their feelings begin. Where were these people when we smashed Hercule's face in? Where were these people when we ripped off the head of Helios? Nowhere because as long as it's not women getting hurt, it's a-ok. F*ck them.

[QUOTE="hexashadow13"]Don't see how it would be much different from all the crap he's been doing to males and females throughout the course of the games other than the trophy name, which are all supposed to be witty crap but fail. It'll probably help from a marketing point of view as the people that would buy the game don't give a damn, and the people that would complain about it would end up giving it free publicity. Thus it's possible they did it intentionally. I find this part somewhat annoying, but the game portion itself I think is perfectly fine for a GoW game.biggest_loser
If you watch the video he says the kills aren't male or female orientated. Its the trophy name that cheapens it to a frat boy joke. He's not wrong.

Yeah,

It's sad to

See just how low

God of War has come

Very decently crafted Greek

Vengance on the gods to right his

Wrongs to...this shameful piece of $#!+.

Usually love sessler, but the complaint is stupid, GoW is not a game to be taken seriously and this is a non-issue.

THIS, plus the girl is clearly STILL ALIVE. Adam jumped the gun WAAAAAAAAAAY too fast on this one and it doesn't help that that Anita video came out shortly before his review.

Yeh, I don't see this as misogyny at all. This is fairly tame compared to the scene in GoW III where Poseidon's presumably innocent significant other gets crushed by the lever thanks to Kratos' blinding rage.

Not really much of a reason to have it, the only thing this does is paint video games in a bad light.

No one who sees that will think of video games in any worse light than they already are when it comes to violence.

Sessler thought THAT was bad ? I think he forgot how bad GOW3 was.

[spoiler] No one seemed to complain after you mashed Hercules' face in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwzdXpY_UaI&t=4m09s AND you get a trophy called "Sibling Rivalry". GOW3 is essential a man killing his whole family. I guess there's nothing wrong wih that. EDIT - Almost forgot, he also ***** his half sister. [/spoiler]

This is a big deal why?    God of War III had a section where a woman died in a horrible fashion in Posiden's Chamber so Kratos could keep a door open.

Ugh, I hate that scene. 

I honestly forgot about that scene. Now that i see it again I remember going "that was messed up" then complety was like oh well.

About the Poseidon Princess thing in God of War 3 - well, in God of War 1, Kratos burns a soldier alive in a pyre and in God of War 2, Kratos takes an injured soldier and puts in him a conveyer built with a large gear that crushes him. Kratos has killed a ton of men in all the GOW games but killing a couple of women is wrong? That's what I don't get.

The Athenian soldier wasn't sexualized.
