Fuck that. That is a lazy ass excuse. It's about time someone called them out on this. I've been disappointed with fighting game storylines for a while now. It's not totally necessary, but it's nice to have. And back in the day, developers at least tried.
Instead, these days we get "Abel found a puppy", "Jin is evil now, just cause", and "Gouken overslept".
And I take OXM's scores to merit, because their ratings frequently fall in line with what I think about games.
Sick and tired of people letting them get away with being lazy, just because it's a fighting game. Fuck's sake, a part of the reason why Mortal Kombat has stuck around all these years, is because people enjoy the rich mythology and characters. So it bugs me when good fighting game developers don't even try.
