8 Shockingly Simple Solutions To Landmark Gaming Deaths

2. Kratos' Family - Erm... Open Your Eyes?

One of the most balls-out fun action-adventure games there's ever been - coming from a plot that feels like it was written after a few barrels of wine got down creator David Jaffe's throat. So basically you're a Spartan warrior with a bit of an anger problem, setting out to cleanse the land of evil one village at a time, roaring your way through scores of people as the God of War himself, Ares, watches from above. One day Kratos ends up back in his home village, and continuing on with his regular day's work of slaying everything in site without question - accidentally murders his entire family.Hang on a minute though... It's ridiculous right? He somehow forgets where he lives, forgets where his house is within his own village, and forgets what his wife and children look like. There's some allowance for Ares elevating Kratos' natural bloodlust to whip him up into a fighting stupor, but come on, you'd think he would've protested a little or realised what was going on to some degree. If Ares is capable of this total drone-like mind control, how come we don't see it anywhere else in the game? Is it because Kratos is a big ol' roided-up buffoon who's too dumb to know when to stop stabbing things? Well yes, as judging by the way the whole trilogy played out where he uses random women as gear levers and kills husbands of others he's slept with - you can call the whole thing foreshadowing of the spectacularly dumb kind if you like.
