I find the blood and fatalities to be cheesy in MKD (and the characters look a little to cartoony as well). I would say the bloodiest, goriest, and most brutal MK game is probably MK2.

I think they went a little overboard with the fatalities in MKDA and MKD.

Some examples are:
--Ermac's head blowing up during his Hara Kiri
--Dairou's Fatality when the char. explodes when they hit the ground
--Scorp's MKDA fatality, the head blows up instead of gettin pulled off.
etc
etc

Prime example of the overzeal and overall fanboyism over MK2.

I think MKD is pretty much the second best, since half of the fatalities are quite decend but there are a few what are downright dumb, same goes with hara kiris. But yes, MKD has the most ways to kill someone.

Really? Most of the fatalities I've seen in MK: D include getting cut in half, getting decapitated, or getting cut into pieces. I don't think the MK team very not tryng their best with these fatalities and Hara-Kiri's. There could have been more variety with them. At least they were an improvement though as the fatalities in MK: DA were shocking.

To answer the topics question, "Do you think Deception is the bloodiest, goriest, and most brutal MK game ever?", I will reply with a yes. I agree that some of the fatalities went a little overboard but thats ok imo because most of them including stage kills were pretty well done.

Deception is definitely teh most brutal IMO,i mean kicking someone into a grinder or punching someone off a tower and hearing them scream with true fear AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH until they hit the ground and explode,i'm sorry but thats a little brutal,much more brutal then anything in GTA or any previous MK IMO.

Now as for the blood,i thought that MK:DA had alot more blood in the actual matches,thats sweet.

I don't think that MK looks cartoonish or over done as far as blood,some of the Hari Kiris yes,but not the rest IMO.

I give MK alot of credit for being realistic with blood,bruise,and realistic fatalities,something no other fighting game offers like MK.I mean if you fight someone,you both will bleed i don't care what anyone says.I mean DOA,tekken and so forth you beat the pulp out of each other and yet not one once of blood,thats unrealistic,MK is more IMO. And as for the gore,well every MK is Gory!!!!!!! LOL

All i know is, MK:D produced some very good fatalities- like Smokes, Hotaru's first fatality, Haviks second fatality, Subzeros second fatality, and Scorpions first fatality - I thought they were all well thought out.

i agree with you 100% and plus HOTARU'S my favorite character i really like the fatality done bye hotaru the one where he breaks the neck three times to where the head looks like its just hangin there and i also like kenshis katana attack the way the top half of the body falls off is so cool hotaru's slam death is so brutal slams him to the left then to the right drags him in his own guts and blood then lifted over his shoulder and then the force of impact hitting the body blows it into blood guts and body parts haviks arm chew is awesome eats both arms and pukes up the blood and bone and his other one the leg ripper brutal rips off leg brutaly lets the opponent scream then bash head goes flyin off and it's quite id like one change to the leg ripper after hes done rippin it off and bashin the head off he should consume the leg which would be cool and the other fatalitys i like are the ones when the opponents beg for mercey to live those are so brutal

I wish Midway would have a contest where we all send in our own fan-made Fatalities and they will pick the best ones and put them in MK 7.

Agreed. They really should listen to our ideas if they don't have their own.

Anyway, I can't say a clear winner . MK2 was the bloodiest , but MK1 has something I don't know what , I think MK1 is the most brutal Mortal Kombat.
There for the first the player had the chance to take a heart / a spine out, to annihilate the enemy. Maybe it's the fact that I have played MK1 first and it has left me quite a memory

Definetly

No, I don't think mk:d was the most bloodiest. MKII was. About what Winters_grasp said, I agree with that

Deception has AWESOME pits, but the fatalities dont compare to the old.

You know i actually agree with you, thats a valid point and is one thing i do dislike about games other than MK, theres never any blood, after a while purple energy shooting out after you kick someone gets old.

But as for being the goriest id still have to with MK2, Deception being a close second. The fatalities in MK2 were gory in a realistic way, we didnt see popcorn flesh or three rib cages and so on. MK2 all the way, still the best MK game IMO.

If they made the fatalities and such more realistic then it would be most brutal MK game.

For example Ermac's Hara Kiri:
His head shouldn't explode. It should actually look disfigured from bashing his head from the ground that badly. The exploding part kind of made it cheesey. It was a good idea but that was the main flaw.

Well that's what I like about MK, in one aspect. They take violence and take it a step further than it would be in real life. Look at Bo Rai Cho's fart fatality. It was stupid, but it was funny as hell the first time around. It's shock value, mixed with extremities, mized with exaggeration.

we think that if deception is, shaolin monks will probably top it. or so we hope. if mk went unoriginal wat would the die hard fans do? we guess they would play the originals. thank goodness that the friendship or bability wasn't returned, maybe the animality would be a good comeback. all we say is thank goodness ermac, scorpion, and sub are in deception.
Yes we wright like Ermac, is that so bad?

No, this isn't the most brutal MK. I don't think a future MK will ever match the shock factor of the first two games. MK1 started it all, and MK2's fatalities were probably the best mix between realistic, over the top, and stylish.

I thought a lot of MKD's deaths were quite cartoonish, better than most of MK3's I admit, but too OTT to be really brutal. Sometimes, I think it's the simpler ones that work the best. Nothing really has the memorable coolness of, say, Sub Zero's spine rip or Kung Lao's vertical hat slice.

It's a tie between MK2 and MKDA.the most disturbing were MK4.like reptiles for instance.

Yes it is brutal but MK:Deception is too cartoonish to be taken seriously. The blood is way overdone in MK and always has been. As for someone saying about realism, if someone bled as much as the characters in MK in a single match they would have died 10 times over from the blood loss, they probably lose enough blood to give 20 people a transfusion. It's like they have 20 noses and 100's of teeth, where does all the blood come from? So much for realism, but then your talking about a game where people explode by being kissed. MKD's goriness is overshadowed by it's absurdity. I think that MK2 had a much darker and sadistic feel to it. MK:D was just scraping the barrel for ideas for fatalities...

To me, those adjectives all say different things. I mean, yeah MK:D is the most brutal, and, figuretively speaking, the amount of contexnt makes it the bloodiest, but as far as gore goes, I would say that gore depends on the graphics. I mean, don't get me wrong, the graphics in MK:D are really good, but they have an MK 4 kinda feel in certain places. They bend where they shouldn't or fall into peices too easy. That, to me, takes the gore factor down a few points. I would say that the gorest MK was MK:DA because they fatailties were more in depth and graphically impressive.

I cleared up the mess. Please try to hit the reply button just once in future! And check before posting again, just in case the post went through. Thanks. tgrant

I think the goriest, bloodiest etc etc MK was MK2... the amount of blood was JUUST RIGHT... I LOVED scorpions neck-slicing fatality and how that long stream of bloood came out... or the spatters on the pit... OR the open bodies after kungLao's fat... it had the most unique blood graphics
MK:DA had the grosest fatalities because they involved a lot of puking... I dont like puking
in DA and MKD the blood looked like squirming fat worms.... and those little balls they blew up into where just dumb
I didn;t like how they burned either... why are they chooped when they burn?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!
I also wish hey had done the sky temple death trap differently

what version of MKDA do u have or played? cuz PS2 version atleast Scorpion does pull the head off....

anyways....

imo MKD has the most brutal fatalities yet. i mean look at Scorpion's fatalities. look at Sub-Zero's 2nd fatality. look at Smoke's fatality. thats just some examples of some real brutal fatalities in this game. and ofcourse every thing is real bloody and gory

MK:D is the best addition yet
