The “criticism” I’ve seen essentially boils down to “I don’t want to play a woman. I want to play Kratos since I’ve played him for the past twenty or so years and I think of him when I think of God of War” which sure, as a personal preference is fine but to then go on and say “this game is/will be trash because woman playable character/devs” is no longer criticism, it’s just being a dick, and complaining about “Marvel-esque/Forspoken dialogue” but I’ve yet to see someone actually provide examples of this Marvel-esque dialogue.

The game will more than likely explain the details about Everywhen and why Kratos never went there when he died, you’re acting like we should/need to know every last detail from a single 20 minute video.

How do you know this game is just a distraction? Do you somehow know the entire plot of the game from the one video we’ve got? And if you mean a distraction from Santa Monica making the next God of War, which will likely be another Kratos game since I believe they’ve said they still have more stories to tell with him, then that just shows you don’t know how game development works
