Metroid Fantasy XIII comes out next Tuesday

[A Black Falcon]

Now MAYBE it'll turn itself around, but it'll be a hard act to pull off after starting out with Samus' "teen dream journal" as my friend put it, where she LITERALLY utters the line "confession time" before describing her respect for Adam. Ugh... Thanks for ruining a beloved character...

Sorry, everything I have heard says that it only gets worse as it goes on, not better. :(

The cutscene I linked in one of the spoiler sections is supposedly pretty much the lowlight, and that's not from the beginning of the game, I believe.

For the record lazy, when Kratos does something horribly sexist, it's acceptable because the entire game is, by design, one big testosterone shove. It flies because it knows what it is. More importantly, Kratos is NOT portrayed as acting like a good person. He's a self destructive enraged insane berserker who hurts everyone he comes across because he doesn't know anything except fighting. It's a tale of his internal chaos manifesting on the rest of the world by his own hands. To say his story is not heroic but "cautionary" is an understatement. He's a human trainwreck with a lot of victims, and he's a blast to play as. That's fine.

I agree -- Kratos is a horrible, horrible person, so him doing awful things is expected. I don't think even "antihero" applies to him, considering how much awful stuff he does in that series...
