The title of the game was not made in reference to Kratos, the title references his vengeance against the god of wars Ares in the first game, this was confirmed by the original creator
In fact these games have multiple god of wars, in the last one we even see 2 of them, one of them is the Mongolian god of war
Sales are for the majority of times not affected by first impressions, if the game is good usually ( most time then not ) is gonna sell, GOW 2018 had a very VERY bad impression with the general gaming community, everyone criticized the complete change of thrones of the game and how Kratos changed becoming a “”soft dad””, the outrage was way bigger then this because the game changed fundamentally on its core.
But you already knew that despise that it become the biggest god of war in the entire franchise outselling the original trilogy combine together despite the first impressions
That still doesn’t mean they have to make every main female character look like a 18 years old hot looking model
Just because it’s fantasy fiction doesn’t need to have a specific art style or a specific set of rules to make good games, sometimes making characters look realistic fit more to the vision of the game and narrative and what they are trying to convey, there is nothing wrong with both type of games but everything need to be put under the lenses of ‘context’, you don’t go play red dead redemption expecting to see hot looking characters left and right, then you play bayonetta and the main characters look like top models.
@katsykaela “The original Faye, redhead, hot, could probably suplex a frost troll and still look good doing it”

lol
You know Kratos is not gone in the story of Laufey right ? She is very important to the plot of the last two games we had and it’s also important for the continuation of the story, not only that
We are literally 3 games where you play as Kratos, did you forgot they are doing a remake of the triology ?
You all people said the S A M E thing about god of war 2018, calling it woke and a game made for activism because they changed the entire theme of the game and even the personality of Kratos making him a “”soft dad”” and not the old sons of Sparta in his campaign against the gods, yall diss the same shit and still fucking bought the game making it the most successful god of war ever created selling more then the combine units of the triology, you all love making these crusades against imaginary demon, “burning the witch” I would call it but still buy the games you guys claim are the demon incarnated
@beanzsie@TheVivCross Have these people seen the “”average”” looking women ? Or the only interaction they ever had with real women are dolce Gabbana ads?
Because Frey is fucking above average if they even look outside of their windows 🗿
@Cyberchaos@beanzsie But she is actually around that age, I don’t think it would make sense making her look like a 18 years old super hot model when is basically an old mother
First of all she is old, Kratos also look old as hell compare to how he used to look like, the guys is crusty as hell, same thing with her, she is old and I don’t think makeup is a very common thing used by Jötunheim giants, also she is not ugly ? She just look like a normal aged woman?
Also even if she was ugly that doesn’t mean is woke
That doesn’t make sense ? If they make a spin off that is specifically made to cover the story of tomb raider from the perspective of an already well established character in the lore of the game there is nothing wrong with it.
We got Miles morales for the spiderman games, we got different characters in the resident evil
@AutismCapital There is nothing wrong with wanting to play beautiful characters the same way there is nothing wrong with more realistic looking characters
She is not even ugly, she is just normal looking ? I would even say above standard
@The_Camel_Pope@AndrewE_62@k1rallik They are continuing the main series, again, did you even follow the story of the game and what is going on? Do you even know why we are playing as Frey in this game instead of Kratos or Atreus ?
