Regarding that intro, would you WANT to live it? Even with the first game, a dead guy would throw a chain into you, a ninja would freeze you, a lizard would melt your face, a monk and an actor would kick you in the face, an angry Aussie would stab you, a soldier would shoot you, then snap your neck, a giant four armed guy would crush you and rip off your arms, a sorcerer would steal your soul (which is HIS!), then an angry god would blow the planet up. Have a nice day.
