No Kratos in space supporters?

Kratos vs Cthulhu and the elder gods would be pretty sweet.

That's the problem with western gaming nowadays, not everything needs to be a bloated mess of 60+ hours with some teenager companion and some over the top story about revenge is bad, angry is bad, love is good.

That's why every year we see China, Korea and Japan bringing banger after banger of pure joy, gameplay focus with a likable story and fun characters, that's what GoW was about, fun gameplay, with a not so bloated story and likable character.

"SIX games of pure "teenager" angry revenge weren't enough?"
I would be very angry if some God, for some arbitrate reason, locked up my brother, cursed my mother, tricked me into killing my wife and daughter, then locked me up and tortured me to make me serve the God who tricked me, all to be deceived again and having the choice to kill myself taken away from me. There is a lot of reason to Kratos be angry against the Gods.

Some time i really think that 90% o ppl that played the old GoW didnt know how to read or didnt care, anyway, NO, i wasnt tired of killing gods and having fun in a game that i didn't had to waste 2 months of my life to finish.

Again, that was SIX games of the "I'm mad, I'm gonna kill you" one note Kratos. Story and character-wise all that more than ran its course. The old GoWs were the pure definition of "over the top" , specially GoW3 is the most insane "over the top" there is...

GoW2018 still has amazingly fun gameplay and characters are A LOT more developed and yes, more fun. There isn't any fun characters like Brok and Sindri in the old GoWs, they are all serviceable, basic, unidimensional and thus not very interesting.
Although I'm not a fan of viking/nordic lore they managed to make interesting story and characters without even Thor and Odin. It isn't any bloated mess and it certainly isn't a 60 hours game or even half or that, even if you are disabled.

GoW is more an exception than representative of "western gaming", same as Kojima's games are not representative of "eastern gaming".
GoW2018 and The Last of Us happen to be games with a teenager companion, complex characters, mature stories tackling adult themes, loved by critics and players and both are regarded as some of the very best games ever. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Visually would be amazing, but cosmic elder gods are not a good fit for physical combat gameplay.

then again, boss in these game is damn beautiful, and eye-catching, even the ones in PSP, end of the day gameplay is stickout the most over years, GOW2018 is fun because it change a pace of series, but ragnarok didn't has a same effect anymore, especially odin fight was a disappointed for the "allfather" of the god, thor fight was little better but still didn't desever all the hype they tried to build up since the end of 2018

so i rather they turn back to the root of good old GOW game, less old man depression, all action with giant boss that can leve the earth

God of War: Duat, where Kratos is seeking the soul of Atreus in Duat. Hopefully, he will never find it.

On his journey, he somehow has a daughter and tries to protect her from the local men.

I can relate to that. The setting is very cool.

Please, No more illegitimate children. Have better ideas to evolve this character.
