Mortal Kombat: A Retrospective Evaluation/Suggestion Roundtable

**Reavant** · 12-29-2008, 01:54 AM

I think you guys are getting waaaaay to worked up over this. Its a video game. A fighting game for that matter.

If you guys arent bitching about gameplay it story lines, if its not that its the way the moves work. All the big fighting games go through periods of transition. So your a fan of the old 2D mortal kombats like many other people. OK well now gaming consoles have moved past that and they are trying too keep up with the times. For those people anyway, this latest game should be just for you because it fights like a 2D game. Now Kaylyx is saying well theyre straddling the fence they should make a choice! Why? The game is bassed off of projectiles and jungle combos! Even in the DA and deception people were barely moving three demensionally because they were too busy throwing fireballs.

MK is a 2D fight game whether you have 3D models or not deal with it.

Im not going to lie, I would like to see some updated moves like scorpion swinging his spear 3demensionally arownd him not just using it to snag people, but Id like to see just newer moves in general. I like the loyalty to characters' signature moves, but seeing characters do new things is always entertaining.

Kalyx, your fatality idea is retarded. Do you like mortal kombat or not? cuz thats the only thing that has been the same in every game other than armageddon, and armageddon's fatality system was the worst thing ever. And thats basically what your proposing.

As far as the models go, theyre 3D animated models! You mean to tell me still framed animated pictures of people from the original MK was more realistic than 3 demensional moving bodies?

As far as blood and battle damage and violence go... they were trying to make a T-rated game and it was also mashed up with DC superheros. Now for the hardcore MK fan I can see and understand your displeasure and anger for this.

As the storyline goes, how else did you want them to explain how superman can get his ass kicked by sonya or the joker? How can you explain that in MK a god (raiden) can lose fights ever? Or a demon hell-spawn (scorpion) cant easily kill another human being right away without having to enter a tournament? You guys are bitching about a mash up and how DC characters can fight with MK characters, but when it comes to just MK or just DC you guys treat them each as theyre own entity, but when you put them together you start treating them as if they are real life and in the real world a man couldnt upricut superman without breaking his hand! For example Heyman bringing harry potter and lord of the rings into this... like seriously WTF? You sound like the kid from Clerks 2 that loved transformers.

Now if you dont even want a storyline like marvel vs capcom, then dont play the story mode. I dont get you beef there, but oh well.
