lol Yeah I saw that thread too. He does need to control himself though.

wait what? DLC Fatalities?

I haven't been keeping up with this game's news at all. I just played the demo, and I'm hyped about it now, but paying for fatalities that are probably on the disc anyways?

I'm not a big fan of DLCs, cause most of the time they pulled BS like that

Welcome to the current gaming gen.

Maybe never. At times, XBL seems to get certain demos that PSN doesn't ever receive before said game's release, and vice-versa. Only like a month 'till the game itself comes out anyway. Surely you can wait that long. 😛

Ill actually be working on emmigrating when the game comes out, so i'll miss it... god damn it!!!

Demo is pretty fun for this game. Gotten me excited. The fatalities are awesome and the graphics are solid.

You guys gotta look at this. This is hilarious:

How is the most important aspect...gameplay?

Plays a lot like the older games in the series. Very simplified. The combos feel similar to MK3's combo system, but a little less spammy. There seems to be a little bit of animation lag. Overall feels pretty good though, plays well.

Just seen the Kratos trailer... god I want this game now more than ever

Gotta love all of the GOW nuances sprinkled within his move set... The slowdown when jumping (Olympic Ascension in GOW III), Plume of Prometheus, the use of his weapons (love the Head of Helios, Bow of Apollo, even Herme's Boots) The Nemean Cestus at the end of the Xray move 😱 ... and even the QTE button presses... 😄

Kratos feels right at home in this game... even his stage it's perfect for a 2D style fighting game

Jax, Kratos and Kabal are looking to be my favorites so far, Noob and Sub Zero are solid too imo 🙂

Damn! This game's still so far away. Phuckin' SUX!

A full arsenal, and a level of authenticity right down to the QTE's and the red orbs? My god, they really did straight up pluck him right outta God of War III. Hell, I recognized about 90% of the moves he was doing. I totally knew they'd use the Cestus for an X-Ray move after what we saw them do to Hercules.

I also read that, supposedley, his alt. costume is going to be Fear Kratos.

I don't get why the developers didn't want him to participate in the minigames. Seems a bit conceited of them.

Of the minigames, you mean like Challenge Tower?

yeah, what minigames?

you mean "Test your might" and so on?

Meh, I don't like the fact that most of his Blades of Exile attacks are simple close-range swipes (including the attack you called Olympic Ascension), whereas his usual attacks with the Blades of Exile have crazy-range.
Though of course, he would be pretty OP if his normal attacks had such crazy range in a game like MK.

That said, yeah, Cestus in the X-Ray move was pretty cool.

It's not about the range of his attacks, but how spot on the animation is (Case in point the Ascension move has the same slowdowned time effect as it does on any GOW)
They made the moves funtional for MK gameplay (at least it looks funtional)... though I hope the Bow of Apollo isn't a spam-fest.

I look forward to playing with Mileena, Raiden, and Johnny Cage

Meh, I still don't think that him using mostly close range swipes is cool, but he seems well done enough.

It should be no different than any other projectile from any of the other playable characters. Standard version has two arrows shot straight, while the EX version has three arrows shot at different angles so that it's harder for the opponent to evade, and in some cases, can juggle with all three hits.
