That's because you have stupid fanboys that have been playing the last few MK's like a game from the adventure genre or something with a rich story. Wheres my proof? Well its plastered all over this board if you take a look at some people's posts. Where ALL they talk about is the fatalities, alt costumes, story etc. Instead of playing MK like a real fighting game where you use strategy.


Which is why this franchise was in the crapper in the first place. As much as I love the MK Mythos, This franchise needs to focus on the fighting first and fluff second.
I can't argue with you there.

You know when I was playing fighters growing up I had no clue how to play them and didn't know jack about fighting mechanics. Now that I'm older and can see things from a clearer perspective, I am aware of such things.

It's all chaos really.

I mean could you blame some 8 year old child who doesn't know how to wrap his mind around wake up games and say they are responsible for a series like MK not being a good fighter and just liking it for the rest of the distractions? And with all the feedback the team receives about making the game better in terms of fighting, they clearly just don't care about it as much. I say this because even someone said on here that some team member working on the Psi- Op's game tried to show them what was wrong with the game play from previous games and I believe that person said he got fired. Can you believe this? The MK team should know better. I think these guys are old enough and smart enough to realize that guy was trying to help them.


Does it surprise me? Not at all. people have a hard time with constructive criticism sometimes. Its a shame it cost a man his job though.

I agree with that. But you can't help but wonder about the person or people that decided to say to themselves, "okay we don't wan't this guy working here any more" what exactly was going on in their heads. Like, what their true motives were. I of course say this considering this is how it might have gone down.

can you really call it fluff if every other fighting game has it? i think that's more necessity.

for whatever reason mortal kombat still appears to be lacking loads of crap that while some consider fluff but others consider important. now if this game played beautifully and the lack of whatever else was forgivable than sure. but apparently as someone above me stated while the game play is different it's still a mess.

now what? now we have no "fluff" and the game still plays like shit.

again i'm not saying they shouldn't focus on the fighting engine, that's clearly one of the most important things but that also doesn't mean that other aspects of the game should suffer especially if the actual fighting is still bad. just differently bad.

He didn't get fired for offering suggestions to the MK Team...it was divulging secrets to the public while the game was in development.

I don't know man, I guess it all depends on what the individual wants.

I agree

Oh, I thought I left something out. I recall it now. Yeah, that was it. Anyways, I don't remember if the person who mentioned this, left that part out or I must have just misconstrued what he or she was saying entirely.

Sorry to double post but I just wanted oracle to read this.

Yeah I know about that. Thanks though. What I meant was, what is the code to quote individual blocks of text, like how others do on here? So then you can follow up with a reply to a specific part of what someone was saying. Thanks.

I saw Liu Kang's second fatality on MoRpHaZe's video channel yesterday.

There was a lot of blood coming out of Wonder Woman's head. Strange how THAT got passed ESRB...

I'd also like to mention in here that if you press start while selecting a character, you will get their alternate color, or Player2 color! Finally this has been implemented.

Now before anyone asks me, no Batman doesn't have a black color but his alternate color is noticable darker than his original. Scorpion's is orange, Joker's is blue and Kano's pants are green/ khaki.


I've also unlocked Shao Khan in story mode, he is a beast! Now here is the disapointing part for all you fatality maniacs. He doesn't have a fatality. When you're the winner of the last round, there is no FINISH HIM for Khan. I'm sure the same goes for Darkseid. Sorry to break the news.

TRMK McCarron comes through again!

That is one mysteriously generic character!
Hmmm... He has shoulder pads. It could be a clue!... (lulz)


Is there any chance, (asking those who've played), that it could be a loose LexCORP goon lurking around the place? Would that just be too out of place given the context of the scene? I think I remember Luthor talking to goons about stealing MKSF tech, but I don't know if they'd be on the JLA satellite as well...

How about an MKSF guy who's with Jax? Is Jax gripped by the RAAAAAAAGE in that scene? I want answers! I want the truth!!!

EDIT: JLU satellite dweller confirrrmed.

I Have the Game to. I played it also for 7 hours. I didnt like MKA. but this......


MK IS FINALY BACK BELIEVE ME. IT IS REALLY!!! I'm 24 and im a good player. This game is not just press all buttons and fight. Not something like that. This is MK. Iv just seen someone saying about starting combos on standing position not ducking. THIS IS MK thats why its like that. THIS game is not really seeing Combos as its main. They see the main gameplay more like MK 2/3 And its really like that just MUCH BETTER. IM tottally SHocked man. im not Gonna spoil much. i've played 2 player mode for 5 hours or something with my hole family thats 6 people. Even my brother that only plays soccer games was like ey man i know this game i played it before. and suddenly he was on the team. U know why this is the REAL MK. Dont compare this to tekken and soulcalibur. I love those games. But This is MK. I have soulcalibur 4. The looks of that game is better but thats it for me. Gameplay is not for 7 hours a day. U understand me right? This game gives that old arcade feeling. Like when u win while u have itsibitsi power left. It makes u Screem to your opponent like YEAAHH WHATTYOU GONNA DOO!!!!! u know what i mean ;). THanks to the game experience yesterday. 2 of my older brothers (around 30) now buying a Console just to play this game. They have Flashbacks. Back in time when i letm play MKDA MKD MKA. They where like man i dont know this game they fff'd it up i cant play this im sorry. This time they cant stop playing. My score for this game is 9/10 but the score i give for a MK game is 8/9. the 9 is for HOW GOOD the game is. ITS A GOOOOOOD GAME Sometimes i feel like WOW THAT DC Character has SO NICE MOVES im jelous because im a MK fan. Joker is a PERFECT FIT for THISSS GAME.. Just play the story mode before u play with him. Fight against him So him salute Scorpion on his own way. Then u'll understand.

8 for an MK game because its not a REAL MK Folow up :D REPTILE JOHNY CAGE BALLZZZ SMASHER. there are still some REAL OLD MK Stuff not showd here. THe pit and stuff. BUT im shure theyv given the FULL time for this game on the GAMEPLAY. ANd its perfect. When they know we love it. THey will put the same perfect gameplay to the REAL FOLOW UP for MK. But MORE REAAAAL MK. Then im sure well see REptile. and etcetcetc. BUY IT PLAY IT (you dont have to learn that much u ALREADY KNOW IT) OWN THAT M****F**** if ur a OLDSTYLE MK FAN (or new) THIS GAME IS FOR UUUUUUUUUUU.
