Looks more like a counter to me.

i hated those from mk4

it made the game so unrealistic

Mortal Kombat unrealistic what?!
Call the press, contact the media
Bill get CNN on the phone.

lol,

but they shouldn't return ever.

i have a feeling this will be the most realistic game yet.

I hatd those things. Not to mention the constant spamming of Scorpions arm breaker on PC would result in an infinite/maximum damage.

I hated these. It's not like you would fight with a bunch of broken bones. They were so unrealistic it's not even funny. Even for an MK game I didn't like it.

Remember when Tanya snaps your neck 180 degrees from MK4 lol

Reptile did it to!

lol, oh yes, somebody call OPRAH! Almost the entire cast of MK characters have atleast died one time and all have always come back, but besides that, MK is very realistic. Especially when you hit someone and like five gallons of blood fall from their face.

Yeah, I think we got the picture already.

But still, some of the bone breakers from MK4 were not that bad. But I said some not all, some.

yeah, one sarcastic comment is enough.

you just...killed it.

like that one seinfield episode when George made the funny joke during the meeting but then ruined it later.

I think it was in season 9

check it out

they made me giggle. i hope they're back in.

Kids, do behave.

Anyway...I loved them in MK4, sure they are unrealistic, but come on, they had an excellent visual effect!

I personally adored Tanya’s beck breaker (sexy+cool!) and Sonya’s neck breaker (elegant+awesome!).

But I of course remember the wicked ones of Rayden, Cage, Reptile, Quan Chi, etc.

I hope bone breakers are back, they were fun and brutal.

I also enjoyed the sound efefcts they gave them.

lmao.

It would be fuckin awesome if the bone ripped out of the flesh!

Lol. I knew I messed up my coment with that.

What I mean is, they looked awesome and fun...despite being unrealistic.

oohh yeah, compound fractures on the bonebreakers! that would rule the roost!

Have to yield something though, the only thing the MK4 engine did right was dynamic ligh shading and paralax scrolling. Otherwise it was a crapfest.


The main problem is that the bonebreakers are a good diea, BUT NOTAS something you can repeat over and over. Tao Feng had the good idea, and Midway already did good on limb loss in Bio Freaks.

Once, but make it change the gameplay, and not some repetitive supermove.

Nah, one of the few reasons I didn't like MK4//G. I hope they never come back...well, maybe one character should have them to appease those who like it. But I'd hate it if they made it to where, everybody had to have them.

Actually, I did like those in MK4 (never played Gold, a shame ). It suited in well with the fast gameplay to my opinion. But all of you strike a good point at how unrealistic they were. Especially when you keep in mind that Tanya did neck break as a fatality in the very same game.

But honestly though, on that screen it does seem that Scorpion is gonna break the Flash's arm. Kinda in the way he did in MK4 and Dairou did in MKD and MKA. Maybe it DOES return... We're gonna have to wait and see!

They were cool, but wouldn't mind a more different technique to them in MK8.

As for the people saying they're unrealistic...umm it's a video game, NO fighter is realistic or game for that matter except sports titles....so kind of a moot point

I mean, we all know SC, Tekken, KI and SF are soooooooooooooooo realistic....please lol

My fireball is better then your fireball ha, ha...

Bonebreakers were the shit! So, they could be spammed, that doesn't make them a bad idea, just poorly programmed. They were an excellent concept and should return.

Just one more reason MK4 pwns the MKDA generation-- MK4= 2 throws/grapples per character, MKDA/D/A= only one (usually poorly animated at that). Pathetic.

Nahh, the throws actually looked(most, not all) way better then MK4's overall gameplay which sucked overall sadly....it's not the most hated MK game for no reason.

Honestly though, I think people hate MK4 and the newer ones for some of the dumbest reasons and know diddly about the actual "gameplay"

A lot of the animations in some of the newer games throw wise were great, I love MK4's multiple throws too but I don't see why some people want 30 throws per character, not necessary. Just make them reversable, escapable or blockable.....in which one is good enough but I'm sure from the looks of this game, it'll have at least 2 per character.

I wouldnt mind if they made a comeback as long as it effected gameplay
