This is for the new God of War game they showed yesterday where you play as Kratos’ deceased wife.

Utterly predictable response TBH. What’s funny about this particular comment is that Alfred is arguably just as capable as Batman. The average gamer culture warrior not only doesn’t have media literacy, he just hasn’t read the material.

I'm just glad it's not Kratos's annoying ass son.

Not to give The Gamers any benefit of the doubt, but (to me) the main reason the new GoW works is that it's interesting to see Kratos live with all the shit he did in the previous games, so I think any character would have trouble replacing him.

Though, to be fair, after two giant ass games hammering that point, it got old.
