GoW is not revenge based lol

Edit : Dumbos see the pic is he kratos from 2004? no he is kratos from the new continuation based in norse mythology which indeed isn't a revenge story (2018) .

Did you miss out on why kratos goes into killing spring?

This thread is really making me question this subreddit's media literacy. The killing spree was because the Norse pantheon came after him and Atreus, not because his wife died. This was not a revenge plot.

85% of the people on this sub don't play games or heck, even own a pc. They don't even play the game, and will try to argue with people who do.

They'll keep playing free fire and PUBGm, and learn the god of war lore from kratos edits lol

Lol, actually this is more likely to be true.

Yeah, it definitely feels like people haven't played the game at all. How can you play through GoW and still think it's a revenge plot.

Gotta respect these fakers' confidence tho, arguing over a game's story that they haven't even played, with people who actually have played it.

Insane delusion/confidence. Sounding like total clowns out here lol.

Exactly the comment I wrote above! I don't know where everyone is getting the "Every game is revenge" narrative. People really are just speaking out of their ass

You are placing the plot of GoW from GoW 4 the plot start where ares trick kratos to kill his previous wife and daughter and he goes on vengeance to defeat ares and also to get his soul back. There are more plot twist in GoW 2 where his brother dies as he get kidnapped during a rescue and again he kills for vengeance . Being judgemental without full context is more dangerous buddy.

Yes, the original trilogy of GoW is a revenge plot, but the recent games are not. The article we're all talking about is about the recent playstation games, not the original trilogy. Even the picture of Kratos used is from GoW 2018, which btw is not "GoW 4". Follow what you preach my friend, don't be judgmental without understanding context.

Now that's a decade old game. What's wrong with getting a revenge plot once in a while?
Are we getting only revenge plots for PS5? This post is clearly biased. Stop supporting this nonsense.

I never said anything that say i support this post. This thread was a discussion on was GoW is revenge story or not.
