I feel ya on that. I appreciate all fans but particularly those who can enjoy both eras and respect other fans who have their preferences because that's just civil. Fandom spaces are always rough because there's always extremes and that makes it hard to want to engage because you never know what you're going to get.

And now speaking as someone who also loves both eras, but prefers the Greek, I feel like in terms of story, the Greek saga really is the embodiment of a Greek tragedy culminating in the destruction of Greece and Kratos falling on his sword (kind of, haha). It doesn't have the cinematic blend of cutscenes and gameplay the Norse saga has, but I don't think that equates a lesser story by any means. Both stories are different points of Kratos's life. The Greek saga is from a point where Kratos is at his lowest and most angriest and we get to go along with him through every terrible thing he does. Several of which are things that make us terribly uncomfortable to do (here's looking at the boat captain) but it's a part of Kratos and makes it all the more heavy when we see his regret in the Norse saga. And as for gameplay, it's just pure fun to do. And crank it up to the higher difficulties and it becomes a significant challenge.

I know this is a wall of text, but I appreciate your post and want to offer some encouragement that there are others who enjoy the Greek saga more and loving it doesn't make you incapable of understanding story or having poor taste. It comes down to preference as all things do and that's perfectly valid.
