Imagine watching a UFC event. Some earnest up-and-comers open the show with a few rounds of good, but not great, workman-like action. Maybe following that is a bout with some real build-up. A returning favorite coming to take on someone who's taken the MMA world by storm in his absence. Now the crowd is buzzing. Now it's time for the main event. Best of the best, heavyweight titles and all that.

The same applies to MKO's series of opinion threads regarding MK/DC. Some no-names were the first to really put it out there, then MKF did his thing, now the main event: Me. Me > people who are not me.

So what do I think about the crossover, the controversy, and the ramifications? Read on weakling, read on.

1. DC comics? Mortal Kombat? Say what?
MK Armageddon was some crap. The only thing I could list as a positive was FetusStomper's Magneto KAK. A new direction was vital. So the announcement of the DC characters gracing a failing series with their presence was a huge boost for me. All of a sudden MK8, a game I figured I'd give a rental at best, became a must-buy. Sub-Zero and Scorpion fighting a new cast with Unreal backdrops did not appeal. But Batman? The Goddamn Batman? Fighting Subby!? Now we've got something. Even better than the crossover itself, is the fact that this will be a sure-fire hit for Midway, who aren't exactly the belles of the video game ball right now. DC = awesome. MK = awesome. Together = grin Also Aquaman.

2. Why so serious?
I ran into some of MKO's staff members last week. They were hunched over and limping a bit. Must be from carrying crybabies all day. Seriously, if you have a problem with this game, you have a problem with yourself. I've read the detractors' points and they're largely stupid bullshit. DC will detract from MK's story? MK's storyline (if you can even call it that) has always been crap. No fatalities? Yep, guess you can't live out your murder fantasies now. Back to Hostel, loser. DC is kids stuff? Read a modern DC comic and come back with a valid opinion. The general concept is silly? No, it's awesome. You suck. Really, you should be on your knees thanking DC comics for picking up Mortal Kombat and giving it a chance to compete with this years real fighting games. Will it be SF4 good? Of course not, don't be an idiot. But will the gimmick help hide the flaws? Bet your bottom dollar, son. DC doesn't need MK, I'm not sure that the opposite is true.

3. What about the future?
Honestly, the future's so bright, we gotta wear shades. This game is set to generate a mountain of hype and boatloads of cash. It's good for comic and fight fans alike. And let's not kid ourselves. You're buying this. You can deny it up and down and all the way to Chinatown, but you'll cave. You always do. So just enjoy the ride.


And that, boys and girls (and whatever the hell queve is) is an abridged version of DrCube's take on MK vs DC. I'd say 'hope you enjoyed it', but I know you did. I know how you like it. Rough. Sandpaper rough.



You're welcome.

Remind me; why is it I should care about your opinion enough to read a solo thread about it? Oh that's right, you're that guy who created... that made... that's part of... Yeah...

I'm the motherfuckin' Antonio Rodrigo Minotauro Royler Royce Rickson Ryron Ralek Wanderlei Bulldozer Vovchanchyn Emelianenko Cupcake Nogueira of this forum, and I endorse this thread.

Except I don't agree with the part about the gimmick hiding the game's flaws. It won't. But still, Dr Cube via split decison. For practically every aesthetic or artistic complaint I've read here, I can think of a good rebuttal. I think people just need to mellow out and be a little more open minded about the concept of the crossover. I mean, you might as well because it's happening if you like it or not.

Also everyone should check the link in my sig because it's relevant.

Probably. But people aren't even giving it enough of a chance to get to the point where they can find out. If the gameplay is bad I'll be the first to bury it, believe me. But if the gameplay is decent enough, who cares if I have to put up with some horrible comic characters, I'll be too busy playing the game and having fun to dwell on how much I want to rape and murder Superman. It'd be nice if people at least waited until we knew more about it to inevitably decide that it sucks. I think it's practically a given that it's going to suck to play, but you know, at least be fair about it is all I'm saying. In some bizarre turn of events it might somehow not.

*slides into thread on forehead*

Ok, so we get someone with the balls to to tell the truth about you gorewhores.
Don't get down on El Cuberino. And Shinata brought up some valid points. DOn't blast a game that you know really nothing about. It's like when Katamari Damacy first came out. Did you think people were really that interested?
'Yeah how bought we fill a pop-tart with bad acid and see what happens?"
And thus Roll up garbage to make stars was born. Which I feel real bad for all those Fraggles who lost their lives so the sky could twinkle at night.

I honestly don't care who pops up in the game, as long as CAW is still present I'll be happier than those bitches on The View at TampaxCon '08

I've already assessed to the majesty of such classics as "SuperGokuMan"
and Aquaman. and recently Depp Wonka Iceman.

Overall, there's only so much they can do with MK at this point anyway. Adding AWESOME DC SUPERHEROES WHO HAVE ENRICHED OUR CHILDHOODS
is a sweet sweet bonus.

Though I'm sure you'll jump at the next MK which will ninjas in a slaughterhouse throwing meat at each other and eating each others' skin and organs. Also Fireballs.

Entertaining? Ha!

But whatever Fetusstomper said... I'm gonna have to agree with him... but you are certainly not the most entertaining poster to ever grace this site. I know, but it's no one you'll ever guess... and no... it's not me. Or could it...?

CHEERS!grin

I should leave it open now just to spite you. But I'll be the bigger man and just moon you when I get the chance.
