It's really just the entire concept itself that's questionable not just how it was implemented in this game.The_Echo said:In the real Greek mythology, gods die in one of two ways (that I know of): they die and are gone into nothingness (e.g. Pan, Asclepius), or they die into a state that can be resurrected (e.g. Adonis). I don't think gods are sent to the Underworld.King Billi said:Why can't Zeus and Poseidon and all the other gods just haul themselves out of the underworld after Kratos kills them? Why can a mortal man defy death but the bloody GODS can't?
So we can assume Kratos kills them into nothingness. Not to mention God of War isn't exactly firmly set into the mythology.
OT: I don't really get my suspension of disbelief broken... ever.
Once you've established it in your story that people can come back from the dead then death as a consequence for anyone ceases to have any real impact anymore.
Another example would be Bioshock... Why aren't any of the NPCs or regular enemies resurrected by the Vita Chambers?
Hmm..? It probably sounds like this is a bigger issue for me than it really is, but honestly just because I notice these things dosen't mean I don't still like these games, it really feels silly to bring them up like they're some kind of major problem I had because it really isn't.
