To be fair snake has rocket launchers and bayonetta has guns and swords. They can turn down the violence. However is that what mortal kombat fans want? I remember people being very critical of mortal kombat vs. DC Universe
This is true. MK 11 was available day one
You decapitate demons, cut of limbs, put them into iron maidens etc.
The SNES MK is a game released in 1993.
Sure, I'm not arguing that. Just that saying 'Bayonetta isn't gory' is a pretty silly statement that doesn't reflect reality.
This is the most disingenuous BS argument I've read in a long time and you should feel bad.
Doesn't matter, the point is that MK's gory association should be sufficient to draw links to that. A toned down scorpion is still going to draw links to its history (hint: there's probably a reason why MK doesn't do many crossovers other than horror movies/Warner Bros related media. Nobody wants to be associated with it).
I've seen both, and the titillating scenes are arguably more questionable than exploding enemy goons. Neither of which compares to what MK does on a daily basis (especially when every character has their own way of doing it).
That's why I said the gore in Bayo is not as intrinsic to the game/character compared to the gore in MK.
You keep repeating this point as if Bayonetta is literally executing Smash characters point-blank, when you know for a fact that's not how they work.
Yea, makes sense. Bayo's violence never seemed particularly gratuitous, it was just...there.
Genuine question, since I'm just vaguely familiar with the newer MK trilogy: how important is Sub-Zero, plot-wise? From an outsider's perspective, he doesn't seem to be as popular or central to the franchise as he used to be.
Who would you say is above him in terms of relevance? Raiden, Scorpion, Johnny Kage, Sonya...?
You are understating it. MK is not realistic, it is extreme. WhIle some games have violence and gore well below the real world and other games try to make it somewhat realistic, MK goes way beyond and has actual sadistic mutilation.
