Kratos is awesome! Who better to protect Earth Realm than the God of War?

Yea, I REALLY dont like how Kratos fights.  Too much focus on his weapons/range, and ugly launches.  Nice call on the QTE thou.  That could be a bit more flashy.

I really like everything I see from this game. It's a shame that I don't like playing it nor any other fighting game for that matter.

God i hate Kratos, there are plenty of other good games they could have brought characters from, i love games like God of War but i dont like God of War.  People love it for the same reason i hate it, Kratos is an ass lol.

I hate Kratos as a character, and based on this video I don't like the way he plays in MK.  Glad to know I won't be missing much with the 360 version.

Hell yes! PS3 is the only way to go, IMO.
 
I love how they added those little QTE button presses to one of his combos. I also like how he has pretty much all his weapons from GoW 3. Very cool. Can't wait.

Except a decent d-pab.
Unless you got suckered into buying the remodeled controller.

Nah, the QTEs don't look like they will break the game, dude.  It's just a move. It was only two button presses.  It was actually pretty funny.

I doubt anyone there has a lack of faith in MK?
 
also, have you seen the rest of the game? MK and Dumb have went hand in hand since the first one.

How exactly will QTE's break the game? How is that any different from the other characters pressing the buttons at the correct time to do a more damaging move? QTE's are part of God of War, and it's actually pretty neat that they put them in this game.

Looks awesome, but dude, if that bow move isn't the enhanced version (the three shots) that looks like it could be damned ridiculous.  
 
Anywho, even though I hate  Kratos' attitude, he definitely fits in here and looks like he'll be a nice addition with unique gameplay.

So saying this game ends up being brilliant and they decide to play it at EVO, how are they going to decide which platform to play it on if there's console exclusive characters?  
 
Seems to me you'd be shooting yourself in the foot to spend considerable time becoming proficient with Kratos if they then decide to use the 360 version competitively.

People like Kratos because he is an ass.  He's not some charming rogue with a heart of gold or a gruff space marine loyal to his team.  He is just as morally bankrupt as the gods he is killing, and that's awesome.

Kratos actually fits pretty well, when do Xbox 360 gamers find out about a possible exclusive on that platform?

Please tell me one character exclusive to PS3 that would fit better in an over the top violent fighting game better than Kratos.

How does incorporating a feature from a characters franchise that is only used for him and (probably) used for one move, which I believe a big protion of the people that buy this game won't even realize is in there, show a lack of confidence in there game or break the game.

Well I have to get this game and I'm glad to see why it's gonna be awesome, with or without Kratos. Just out of curiosity, is the 360 version getting a special character (im picking it up for ps3).

Sackboy since he would be immune to X-ray moves and he could steal other characters powers like Shang Tsung.
 
Edit: I kinda wish Kratos didn't use his weapons all the time. Makes him look weak. In Scorpion's X-ray, he shatters a guy's skull with a single punch. Kratos has to use a massive hammer (or whatever that thing is) to achieve the same damage. Scorpion just seems soo much more badass as a result.

I think (and hope) that QTEs are just part of Kratos' throw, otherwise they might be kind of weird gameplay wise. They look awesome though.
