1: Broken combos.
2: Online ranking.
3: Online gamin' restrictions. (PAL vs NTSC.)
4: No Sektor.
5: In Konquest mode, that damn green light was CONSTANTLY there. Do they think we are dumbfucks or something?

what i think:
5: low cue graphics, yeah indeed mk:d does have a lot more in it then mk:da did, but it did'nt have to have lower graphics, hell, lots of games have had loads of shit in it and still had beautiful graphics (like syphon filter: the omega strain and tekken 5).
4: online play, online play sucks, i still say they should of never implemented it in this game.
3: konquest, it is alright, but it was porrly done, they should of taken they're time with the story and made it more cannon, and actually had they promise, where every mk character was going to be in it, and it should of had more of a cannon story, yeah, in points it has everything that should be knowned, but shit, they should of made the itmeline matched the current line... jax stays on a bridge for 100+ years yet can be walking in seido at the same time?
2: the fighting, yes i do like the engine, but they need to make it with more moves, and more selectibility, powerful moves are alright, but they should of made it where you can have, a very small, but still there, chance of escaping.
1: game size, theres wasted space in the game, alot of it, some instances being that drahmin's, frost's, nitara's and kitana's (possibly others) in-game models are in the game... YET ARE NO WHERE POSSIBLY ABLE TO FIGHT YOU IN KONQUEST! if they were going to have them fightable, but changed they're minds at the end, they should of took them out, had more room to do other stuff, add other things, sure it's just a bit more memory, but still.

1. Konquest- whiptey doo
2. Arcade Mode on MAX- The AI is so damn annoying
3. Infinites
4. Cheese combos
5. Cheese

1 - Tanya
2 - Online ( could give less a shit )
3 - How Everything Is Evolved Around Scorpion
4 - The Voice actor for the Dragon King (needs to be slapped with a golden vomit fcuk stick)
5 - The Konquest Training Modes, who the fcuk cares everyone knows how to play Mortal Kombat.

1. Overall fighting system mechanics: infinite combos should be removed, characters should be balanced and not broken or useless, more could be done with the fighting styles, more move properties, etc.
2. return of Tanya; she's the worst returning character in this game, imo. I despise her and I want her to die and never come back
3. addition of Kobra; he's cheap, pointless, and doesn't fit in MK
4. graphics and overall voice acting in Konquest: they could be much better
5. storylines should be more fleshed out

5: sujinko, with everyone else's moves, his age, and his over-all stupidy.
4: kobra, who looks more suited to deal with duke and shipwreak than to be in mortal kombat.
3: kira, the sonya clone with about as much apeal as hilary duff.
2: the return of bo chi cho: the puking, drinking, farting, old, fat, ugly waste of polygons.
1: konquest mode: where you must run around talking to morrons who cannot slove their own problems, where sindel and liu are hidden, where you don't actuly fight your opontents and where you have to play as an uninteresting bore with a very plain cothing style and over-all look and a presionaty as intresting as a toy from mc donald's, wross, he's the "big reward" for beating the game!

5- The characters don't recover fast enough
4-There's no run button
3- Jump Kicks suck
2- Characters are unbalanced (some are too strong)
1- Arcade mode is so weak

5 - No Reptial
4 - Konquest missions were too "simple minded"
3 - Shujinko should have had more moves from various characters
2 - Shao Kahn and Goro weren't on the xbox or PS2 version
1 - Some of the characters was ridged and didn't "flow" well

half of these remarks are dumb, who cares about arcade mode, its online the greatest thing ever. and it runs pretty damn smooth on xbox no lag, props to midway on that. its a 3-d game ( jump kicks important in 2d) needs more gametesting, fix the recovery , and lil things.. if thye make a patch it would be even better. MAKE A PATCH AND PUT IT IN WITH SHALION MONKS

Shit Storyline
Dead warriors return (Baraka and Liu Kang) that no one wants (IMO)
Shit Character Roster
Combo Breakers
....no Sareena, Sektor, Rain, Kung Lao, Kano
....everything is Shit just about

1. Glitch combos...
2. ...which lead to Infinite combos.
3. NO THROW ESCAPES, wtf were they thinking?
4. Another unfinished game...which leads me to: No online updates
5. Sub-Zero is a shitty character...again

Subby died (noob killed him which im sure u all know lol) so maybe they will leave him out lol who am i kidding its MIDWAY they dont really DIE they just bring them back like nothing happened!!

Are you people serious.. How could anyone say that the online mode should have been left out of the game. Without online mode this game would be more usefull to me as a coaster.
Konquest gets old after you beat it and Playing the computer is about as much fun as watching paint dry.
The Online mode should be improved not eliminated. There are problems with this game, but it is still a great game.

Amen.
5. Good, but not great fighting engine.
4. To much possible cheapness (Throws and stuff).
3. Bland new characters like Kobra and Hotaru.
2. They ruined Sindel, big time.
1. Special moves dominate the game.

First 4 are in no order
5. Graphics suck. It looks to cartoony.
4. Blood and Fatalities are cheesy. More realistic graphics (and more originality on fatalities) may fix this.
3. Storyline is becoming stupid (too many people coming back to life for one thing, the worst being "zombie kang").
2. Characters are becoming less original and cheesier
And the biggest problem with MKD
1. Fighting Engine and Gameplay. Slow, broken, sloppy,shal low, and I don't think it will get any better. They need to create a new, deeper engine when MK hits the new systems.

AMEN to the pro-online mode comments. I would have played this bad boy through a few times then traded it in if it weren't for the fact I can hop online for a practically lag-free beatdown anytime I like (coming from a household in which I'm the only fighter fan).
Problems?
1. Yes, we all know - the glitches (which aren't the worst) and infinites (which are the worst).
2. Setting up an entire chess match with someone, then finding out they know infinites with every character they've chosen, and they plan to use them. And if that's too related to #1 for ya, then how about people quitting when a chess match is almost over!? Compared to a 3-minute kombat match, that's pretty annoying, regardless of if you get a 'win' or not.
3. The game does not have a feature to produce large amounts of electricity through the XBOX/PS2 and into the bodies of people who quit in the middle of matches. (*ahem*... I mean '@sswhoopings')
4. The invite system is a little half-@ssed. When I get invited, either a) the invite doesn't show on my friends list, or b) I accept, and get the 'failed connection' message. On that point, being able to reject a challenge is hogwash too. If someone better came along at the arcades and wanted to play you, what would you have done - walk away from the machine!?
5. The game apparently has a magical charm that somehow convinces people that once they've mastered a whopping one or two characters, they can play thousands of games with those same characters over and over again, and then proceed to strut around, talking trash. There are a handful of people out there who can play with just about anyone, and play very well - those are the true masters of the game. When you beat people with one or two characters, you are only the master of those characters.
Remember that.
Peace...

No. You don't seem to understand how the storylines and such work, do you?
Anyway, I thought Sub-Zero got better. I know he's low tier again, but still. I was pissed off that they fucked up the Dragon style though.

5. Character models still look ugly.
4. An extremely shitty story filled with more holes than a piece of swiss cheese.
3. Still no solid voice work.
2. The mini-games are nothing more than shameless rip offs of games made by other people and despite being watered down pieces of shit are still better than the actual fighting part.
1. Fighting mechanics. I think enough has been said about this one already.

1. Animation: The movement is not fluid. Very chunky and stiff looking.
2. The fighting engine: needs looks of work. Tons of useless moves and fighting styles, non escapable throws, dial-a-combos.
3. Graphics: MKDA looked much better. Characters like Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Raiden have shitty textures on them; try comparing them to their DA versions. Also, Some character models like Noob Saibot, Kira, Nightwolf...look not so great.
4. Glitches: There's tons of them. Tons of infinite combos; almost the entire cast of characters are broken.
5. Practice mode: IT FUCKING SUCKS. MKDA and MKD have the Most useless practice mode i've ever seen in a fighting game. No options at all.

All of those are irrelevant to the overall replay value of the game. Gameplay is where it counts.

konqrr, its mk therefore most people just dont get it.. people hear the name mk, and all there think about are the stupid points... not the important stuff. helll ive been playing 6months now, and i still only no 2 fatalitys and zero hara kira.... out of all these posts made, how many of these people are over 17 and hav been around playing since 92.

1) Fighting Engine-
Rehashed MK:DA engine which is in fact more broken than the original version could ever possibly be. This is all one big problem... no ground game, copycat styles, extremely limited options, INFINITES, gltichy combos, lack of throw escapes, 0% air game, overuse (or overkill) use of dial-up combos, over half of the moves in a style are useless and unsafe.
I felt the need to include that all in one big block, considering improving only one of those things while neglecting the others would basically be a waste of time, as it all needs to be fixed to make the game enjoyable from a fighting game standpoint.
2) Poor character roster-
This does affect replay value... in my opinion. Honestly, I enjoy the storyline of characters and it oftens influences who I become skilled at fighting with. I'm not sure what they were thinking... this roster didn't make me feel nostalgic, only like vomiting.
3) Storyline
"A step down from MK:DA!"... that seems to be the motto of MK: Deception. Onaga isn't interesting and the removal of MK:DA style Konquest mode resulted in a lack of details for most characters.
4) Practice mode
This is just pathetic... I'm not even going to mention why. It's an total waste of disk space.
5) Arcade mode
The ladder is too short and there is no other way to battle a computer controlled opponent. Also, the stages and which characters on those stages is all prearranged... one would think they would have at least allowed it to be random.

1) broken combo/wall system
2)strange additions to the character roster
3)very little balance in character's general fighting ability e.g. subzero is supposed to be great and all but he's just very low tier and bo rai cho and old farting puking lump can be 200 times more damaging and cheap
4)imbalanced specials for characters e.g. raiden gets the useless flying thunder god or the telegraphing projectile and shujinko can use flip kicks, power fists, freeze balls and bloody spear.
5)lack of fluidity in a ground game because of the 50/50
