I know alot of you are concerned about the story. And you have the right to. One of the best things about Mk that drives it is its storyline. But I personally really really enjoyed the intro movie. Now even though what was said in the movie was crap...complete totally crap....I still thought it was funny and great. Now when I do play the game to find out that the true stoy is garbage...then I will come here to bitch...But until then....I'm gonna go watch Kahn slam Jax and Sonya scream some more......grin

Well. Everything that I have to say has been summed up with the last ten pages.

It looks great, and it has some funny moments, and even though it's not canon, the story of the game still sucks.

P.S. Good job, Stryker. wink

To me it seems that the basic story is that there are to many kombatants and the Elder Gods simply want to thin out their numbers.

Superb video!! I still don't understand why everybody is posessed by this "Fail Safe" pyramid though. Other than that I'm still watching over and over and over......

But around 1:51 in the movie when it shows a camera view from the pyramid looking out over all the fighters, who is the body laying on the pyramid?


Darrius.

* tear * omg this game is worth buying just for that intro. If I knew nothing else about this game. That would be enough. Wow im in shock of how good an intro movie that was. Wow. Wow. Wow.

My favourite parts

1. Shao Kahn raping 4 people with his hammer.

2. Kung Lao v.s. Baraka.

3. Sheeva getting killed

4. Stryker giving Milleena that cheap shot.

Stryker lasted longer than most on the Pyramid. He took out Mileena, Kabal, and Two other people using Kabal as a weapon. Thats pretty good. Not to mention he was only shot in the chest because he was busy fighting other people.

Is it me or does Stryker die in the video. After Kano lazers him he falls down and at 2:22 he is lieing there and he is not moving. After that I cant find him. Where does he go?

Stryker is standing with the group of warriors that get shot of the Pyramid by Shang Tsung. Seeing how one of the characters in the group is Sub-Zero, i doubt anyone actually died from that attack.

Nope. It's pointless, non-canon, and more or less destroys the mythology MK has built up over the years (gaping plot holes and all). Random, pointless chaos/carnage a good intro does not make. As amusing as it was to watch Stryker bitch slap Mileena, I'm afraid it doesn't change my opinion on this issue.

There's no ramp up for the storyline, nothing on Daegon or Taven, nothing. It's just every MK character in history beating the crap out of each other because it's the "cool thing to do" whenever Blaze comes to town.




Sorry, it wasn't pointless it had action, told the basics of the storyline and didn't destroy anything of the mk storyline, not to mention as Boon has said ohh a million times now ALL WILL BE REVEALED in MK:A.You obviously don't understand the concept of Blaze's power, he's manipulating everyone.Meaning they have NO choice, notice it was an organized fight between the good guys and bad guys before Blaze showed up corrupting everyone and baiting them to the pyramid, the announcer even said this.

Perhaps you should read Li Mei fans post in BIG bold letters, the story is badass if you like MK, you'll understand.

Not to mention the WHOLE story hasn't been nearly revealed yet, seriously anyone who takest this intro as the whole storyline, (which isn't even the whole thing btw) is close minded.As Cinder said this IS NOT the WHOLE STORY!!

I'm not about to argue with you, but pick out a few things:

1- We already knew the basics of the story, we didn't need some schmuck narrator telling us this.

2- You can't really tell whether it's Blaze manipulating everyone or just everyone realizing that Blaze is a greater adversary, and working together for brief time to stop him. I'm sure it's the former rather than the latter, but you can't deduce that from the intro alone.

3- I don't see how it destroyed the MK storyline when the intro had little to do with the existing storyline.
