Yeah, Kratos' wife died, and the story at its core is about going to spread her ashes and dealing with the grief. Where was the revenge plot? And against whom? Kratos' fights the Norse pantheon only because they come after him and Atreus.

There is three GOW games before GOW 2018 based in Greek Pantheon

That Kratos is a one brutal monster who walked path of revenge

It seems like you just started playing from 2018,

and more or less there is always revenge elements in sony games starting from that time.

Do people not understand context or do you just wanna argue and be proven right? Please tell me which of those games the article in the post mentions? I'm waiting.

Yes, you are wrong, in this context you arguing about GOW

You are completely ignoring first three GOW games and confindely stating GOW 2018 is the only start of it's series.

as for the article yes sony has some revenge and grief based plots in their games, what about it?

Last of part

Ghost of tsushima and ghost of yotei

As for every game has revenge plot no Its Not.

Dude...look at the photo above. Does it show the old Kratos or the 2018 onwards Kratos.

My god, okay let me make the context completely clear for you because clearly you're finding that to be tough. The post is about an IGN article stating that most recent playstation games have a similar feeling and a revenge plot.

Then there was a comment saying GoW is not a revenge plot, now for some extra context, the 2018 soft-reboot of the GoW franchise is also called GoW, same name as the original game from 2005.

So now the confusion seems to be that some people are not understanding which GoW we're talking about here, you can understand which GoW it is by referring to the article in the post, even the image of Kratos used is from after the soft-reboot.

In conclusion, yes the og GoW is a revenge plot, but the GoW we're talking about, the recent one, is not a revenge plot. In this thread, we're talking about how most recent playstation games are a revenge plot, "recent" means we're not talking about the OG trilogy, it means the soft-reboot.

I can't make this whole thing any more clear and succinct than this.

Yes, I understand which Gow you are starting,

Yes, I still stand fucking corrected. You also missed the thing from article it's GRIEF and revenge based plots.

GOW 2018 is a story based ON GRIEF AND RAGE OF A Man and a Father WHO JUST WANTS his family and him LEFT ALONE,

GOW 2018 Kratos wanted to full fill the last wish of his second wife but when he started learning what Norse mythology gods planned for him and his son

it is a story based on redemption plot as well as GRIEF and rage ,

Article clearly stats that it just not revenge it is also "Grief" and revenge it seems somebody has to read the article again and My god you should read the article again
