Keep up the good comments and work in here, guys. I hope all goes well at E3, Malone. With characters only having two styles each, balancing will be more important than ever. I realise that it's very hard to pull off with 60+ characters, but most of the styles have already been used and have known bugs/glitches, so it shouldn't be too hard to fix.

you went through 20 pages to see this hahaha

Actually, I have taken liberty in posting a thread about the fighting engine in the Future MK forum at the Midway Boards, blatantly asking the people there what should be implemented in future MK games to fix the fighting engine. I even gave a link to danadbab's stickied thread about character-specific glitches. Here's a link to the thread, if you wanna see it. I suggest that anyone who cares about the gameplay go register at the Midway Forums (if you haven't done so already) and reply to that thread. And when met with opposition from the "fanboys" and "fangirls" there, keep repeating your stance. That's exactly what I'm going to do there.

i signed up last year i think. only posted a few times and never went back. all i ever saw was the typical "scorpion vd sub zero who will win???" or "whats your fav ninja" blah blah blah. much like it is here (which is why i took a damn near 2 year vacation, lol)

I took the test in your sig amd came up with this, Nakadai Sakakida lol


Anyhoo, what's the point in complaining to Midway? The y don't care because there are more people who like MK's gameplay like it is (as in fighting, not fatalities blood ect.)and the fan boys n00bs who only want mini games and millions of pallete swap ninjas. They will make more money if they continue to make it like it is. They only care about the profits, and more people will be happyi fit is the same. The only thing I want MK to get is the wake-up game, but it's never going to happen.

some good points Nakadai Sakakida-san lol.


midway claims "we listen to the fans"..they should change that to "we listen to the 10 people on the message boards that wanna see chameleon and meat with ninja outfits and can do 30 fatalities".

Which truly does puzzle me, seeing as how MK: SM had one.

Maybe they want to be "unique" and "innovative".

To bad it wasn't a fighting game


EDIT: This thread topic reminded me of a Southpark episode where they rip on Fat Albert. "I'll bitch as much as I want to bitch" lol

I would greatly appreciate a wake-up game. We all know the "counters" were a let down. We expected smooth-as-silk retaliatory moves, but really it's just another word for a more-general combo-blocker.

I stopped playing MK for the gameplay long ago, I guess. I think the gameplay is decent, but it's hardly amazing. Most fighting games have better fighting engines and most people would say that that alone makes MK a relic of the past, but beyond that there is much to be found. The gore will remain vital, even if it has lost its luster. The graphics were always too plastic for my taste, but character designs, for the most part, were pretty good (with the exception of most new characters.) Music has never been its strong point. The storyline, however, is pretty good, and the atmosphere is very gritty and brutal, something other fighters simply lack. Every hit looks painful, as it should, and the 3-styles are, at least, innovative. This is still a franchise that seems like it has more potential than any other but that it's taking too small steps to be the best fighter it could be. I suppose, giving it a budget like Tekken's, we could have high-quality FMV endings, smooth-as-silk motion captures, and highly stylized graphics. As it is, I still love it, mainly as an old MK fan. I still have high hopes, but I know what to expect, and that means I'm not really disappointed. To me, the franchise really can't go anywhere but up.

Obviously, you can't adapt to a simple videogame. Here's my advice to you. If you think it's going to be crap, change it. Change the gameplay, the audio, the video, everything. Hack the f**ker or something.

Oh, and f.y.i. All 60 characters, and all arenas were made during the creation of Mortal Kombat Deception. They did that so they wouldn't waste any time with selecting the characters and arenas they'd bring back. You can basicly say that Boon has been working on MKArmageddon since 2003. To say, I really don't know how it's going to be that much diferent from Deception.

You're damn right it won't ruin online. This is the chance to see how far our creative little minds will take us. Only the greatest of minds will prevail though, so maybe you guys should like, start thinking about what you'll want for your characters. I've been making up crap for years, but I never thought I'd actually have those characters in a Mortal Kombat game. I can't wait to test them out.

I couldn't even get to page 2 without seeing another one of your "It'll suck!" posts. If you think it's going to suck that bad, become a graphic artist.

Oh, just in case you're going to make a comeback reply: Don't worry about me. I already have that as a back-up plan if I screw up as a lawyer.

4) How can you defend against a character you don't know?
It will ruin online play.


What is this? The WWE. You're going to be in a world of hurt if you get jumped on the street arn't you. In case you didn't play Deception, online was ruined by refresh rates, frames, ppl using infinates, and to top it all off they would leave right before they got beat(that way they didn't take the loss and you don't get the win). The lag was also terrible for Deception's online mode.

face it using K-A-K online will not ruin what has already been ruined.

Try keeping up Riyakou we're on page 20 not 1, no-one's interested in typing out comebacks to your replies to posts from weeks a go.

One would encounter many strangers in real life, and might have to beat up a few. That's the same as playing MKDeception for the first time. You have know idea who the hell Kobra is, but you're going to kick his ass anyway, simply because you want to win (or because you just feel like seeing blood). There's nothing wrong with facing a new challange. If there was, MK2 would have never been released, nor any other videogame sequal.

Don't worry. I'm getting there.

Well, you're probably right, but we don't know everyone. I do need to keep up though.

I see your point, but then again...

The idea is to make the game better, because it's bad.

Not to make it worse, because it's already bad.


Thankfully, someone on the MK staff already thought of this. Ed has stated that Created characters will be limited in online play.

The play rooms have the option of not allowing custom characters to be selected.

Well that's cool. They should do that with everyone. That way, I won't have to fight Noob Saibot.

^^^ROTFLOL^^

True though very true

What's true? My post?

No. The difference is that Noob is a character in the game, without changed movesets. Don't be stupid. People who make KAK will make a character with the most broken moves in the game and will win if they know what they're doing against any other character. KAK will be god tier if the player can give the created characters any move they want. No matter how broken BRC, Noob, or anyone is, a KAK will > a developer made character.

Just because you can't exploit the game to win doesn't mean others won't.

Oh... okay!

True, but I don't care. I don't play online! lol, have fun playing the stupid fanboys!

jk.

Well, if you're a really good gamer you should expect the unexpectred, or in this case exploit the idiots character. If they make a broken character then they must be idiots. Those idiots won't find the infinites, and there broken character will be easy to beat.

Besides that, I don't think anyone will just throw in a bunch of stuff together, make a cheap character, and go online to do infinites to annoy people and say he/she's the beast in MK.

not sure if any one has been keeping up w/ the MKD glitch thread. but forum member Check discovered that player 1 recovers alot faster then player 2.
right from the get go player 2 is at a disadvantage in fights. player one can do more glitches then player 2 because of this.
