I am sick and tired of hearing that "They wanted to put this in the game but ran out of time" how long ago did NK4 come out? Quite some time ago. Don't get me wrong i like MKDA but i expected alot more secrets, fatalities, stage fatalities, special moves. I mean come on if your gonna do something go all out. I would have waited a couple more months because these additions would have made the game that much more enjoyable. I hope midway takes all the time they need before thrpwing out the next installment. Anything worth doing is worth doing right. Does anyone out there agree with me?

i'd also like to say that quite a few of the exisitng fatalities for MKDA are disappointing. Kitana did her kiss of death in MK3 right? Why not be more creative and try something new.

because they didn't think

because the least they could have done was put in animalitys i mean the game isn't the same

PS it still rocks
Well, MK4 did have a cheat menu, not much on it tho.
Not a big fan of animalities imo.
But anyway, they were rushed with it, i mean you kno the story.
I mean, this issue has been covered so many times and people really do have mixed opinions, some like it, some hate it, some don't care.
I'm not bothered by it, as i'm sure most aren't bothered either, but I just want to know, would it REALLY have added SO MUCH to the game?

can you honestly say that you are satisfied with the one fatality for each character, especially since almost half of them either suck or are the same fatalities from previous games with enhanced graphics.

yes
i never cared more for fatalities
the story and fighting is what counts

who cares if you would have waited

midway and midway's investers wouldn't have
the game was already delayed once, delaying it again would lose lots of money

I agree. Fatalitys are cool. But they should be kept secret for you to find out on your own. That would give the MK series a new challenge.
Mortal Kombat used to be based on mostly blood violence and it's fatalities, but now they have a great fighting engine, and most fatalities are cool. So what's the problem?

the problem isn't just the fatalities, it's the game as an entire whole. The excuse for everything from pit fatalities to more hidden characters and secrets is:"there wasn't enough time so it was left out" they left out alot of things. I've heard about the possibility of fighting Kongo the drummer but once again "there wasn't enough time." Midway everyone was gonna buy it regardless of it's quality, because we were all fiending for another MK. Yes the gameplay and graphics are much better and the use of fighting styles is revolutionary but that still does not leave alot of people, including myself, satisfied. Midway really needs to "take the time" and make things better with MK6 instead of rushing to put out an unfinished game that lacks alot of qualities that the whole series of MK games are based upon, known for, and loved.
They didn't have much choice, they were very nearly bankrupt.
That's why they're beggin for sum1 2 buy them.

this is the first time i've spoke on this. mav80 is 100% correct, they did'nt have enough time to put in 50 cool things, but they had enough time to put in hundreds of bs coffins. gameplay is great and all, BUT WHEN WE FIRST STARTED BUYING MK IT WASN'T FOR GAMEPLAY, IT WAS FATALITIES, CODES, AND CHARACTHERS. everyone who bought this game has a right to be angry, even the people who aren't angry, because they just convinced themselves "at least the game play is better".

most of the stuff in the krypt is pure crap, unless it secretly contains clues to something bigger.
i mean really, how many times do you actually look at that stuff. once maybe. who cares about pics of these fat guys doing karate, or scropion baking a cake. this mk, not betty krocker kombat.

i spent my hard earned money on this crap of a game, i mean i really hate it. there's even a sucky video on the game, but they didn't have time.

Since when is a game defined by the amount of secrets included? Gifted people took time from lives and abilities to create something that far surpasses the competition with similar endeavours. I just wish that I could have been fortunate enough to say, I took part in the creation of this game. I mean, just look at this site and that alone is a testament to the quality if the game, let alone the quality persons that maintain it. Me, I don't need secrets. I just want a game with quality.

I see by the editing that everything i said wasn't meant to be heard. The question is, was I right? Apparently, It looks like I was.
