Re: What would your reaction be if Link from the Legend of zelda series was DLC?
Exactly. And this is why I couldn't play GOW 2 and 3. By the end of the first game I was so ****ing sick of hearing him ***** and moan. And as a cherry on top, the controls got to be way to repetitive to me. And not in a fun way. Visually, the games are stunning. But that's all I will ever give them credit for.
Anyway, I think it's hilarious how so many of you say "Link doesn't fit in MK" but then try and say that Kratos DOES. Uhm... Neither fit in the MK universe. Sorry. They don't belong.
But if we're gonna throw in one outsider, might as well throw in another. At this point they could toss in a Xenomorph and it would make as much sense as Kratos.
Yeah, that. I googled Kratos vs Kronos, and after watching that, I was like "I GOTTA HAVE THIS GAME NOW!" and was about to go out and buy a PS3 for it alone. Upon closer inspection, I was glad I waited.
Also, Predator would be pretty bad ass.
While Kratos doesn't belong in the sense of the MK tradition, he is a pretty close fit for the tone and style of the game. All brutal and blood covered and what not. I was surprised his head tearing QTE wasn't a fatality. He just about works story-wise as well, if we consider Greek mythology to be ancient history rather than fiction, drawing a powerful fighter through time seems plausible in the crazy MK universe.
That's the thing though; Kratos doesn't fit the tone of MK. He only fits the Bloodbath aspect of it, or rather, the serious one. Kratos, and his developers, just don't know how to take themselves NOT serious.
Look at Ermac's Pest Control: Everyone else runs around screaming like a little girl, Kratos takes it like a man because to do that is to "Disrespect his character". Look at his Babality; he rips off a teddy bear's head. Now look at Shao Khan's: He points at you and say's "You Suck!". Shao Khan, arguably THE most serious character in the Mortal Kombat Universe, isn't even immune to being taken as a joke.
Mortal Kombat is fully aware of the fact that it's over the top (just go look at And the Winner Is!, Ermac's Pest Control, Baraka's Take a Spin, and Quan Chi's Leg Beat), God of War/Kratos is just as over the top but just doesn't realize that everyone is laughing AT it, not WITH it.
