first, the text is pretty cool.

Wicked lol i never knew deception meant that!

Maybe they should have kept the title as Deception in French. It would have been a more accurate description of the game.

Edit: haha sorry that joke was too easy to ignore.

That was harsh kombatkommando MKD isnt that bad.

Yeah MKD was pretty disappointing. Over 20 characters, 2 fatalities each, and a ton of game modes that aren't available in any other fighting game, not to mention online play.

How could people not be disappointed with this? I'm just pissed that there aren't any SU. Even though 24 characters is more than enough, I'm spoiled so I want more and more. Having two SU would have made such a huge difference, right?

Yes I am being sarcastic.

I think the disappointment has more to do with the crappy fighting engine that was supposed to be better, and the uncountable amount of glitches the game has. But really, what does "Mystification" have to do with this game?

HAHA! Yeah, you've been bitched at in this thread, because GOD FORBID someone should have a remotely negative opinion about MKD, which is far from perfect, but just know that you got one hell of a good laugh out of me.

Deception also means disappointment in Spanish.

Oh well, I hated the name before, now I love it.

Mystification sounds very cool IMO. I love that name.

Why isn't it Mystifikation?

Hmmm....oui...il y a un mot français "déception". En anglais, on dirait "disappointment". Je pense ils ont choisi "mystifacation", parce que il a une définition similaire a le mot anglais "deception".....

J'aime plus "tromperie" que "mystification", pour ce but.... (le "a" avant "mot" a une accent grave. Il ne montre pas ici)

1 more character than the last game, 3 less finishing moves than MK3, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo & Archeron MK Editions, PLUS Shujinko's Wacky Koin-Kollecting Adventure. And no secrets.

Mortal Kombat Disappointment sounds pretty apt to me.

The only thing dissapointing about Deception is the fighting engine, which is still weak and shallow.

There were plenty of secrets; 12 secrets characters to be exact.

How are they secrets when you know about them from the beginning? Shouldn't a fundamental rule of a secret be that they are...well, you know...secret?

Thanks to the internet all of the games features and secrets were spoiled well before the game was released. Had it not been for that you probably would not have made that comment. Maybe Midway should not allow any information about the content other than the fighting modes and maybe a few characters next time. I did not read about the endings or watch any fatality vids, or the intro and guess what? I was not dissapointed because I had no Idea what was coming up. I knew about the game modes from going to the E3 but thats it.

Also, a few of the so called "elitist" out there keep bashing the games play mechanics. I think they are fine, the controls are simple. I'm an avid 3rd Strike and Cvs2 player who knows when a fighting game is bad and this game is not bad. You want bad then try fight club, or Fighters Destiny for N64, or even Final Fight: The Revenge. Maybe if you guys stopped trying to play this game like Tekken it will open up to you. Don't give me that "the game is broken" BS because every fighter I've played has been broken. In fact the most broken game I have played was X-Men vs Street Fighter. Just try to have fun and if it's not fun for you then do to this game what I did to both Tekken and Soul Calibur, move on and never look back.

Take care

btw - the translated french guy above says this (according to freetranslation.com)


Hmmm. ...oui...il there has a word "déception". In English, one would say "disappointment". I think they chose "mystifacation", because it has a similar définition has the English word "deception".....

I like more "tromperie" than "mystification", for this goal. ... (The "has" before "word" has an accent engraves. It does not show here)

Well, I can't wait till tomorrow, so I can get the game myself, and decide if it really is a disappointment. I think I will be pleased with it, and hope that I will get hours of gaming pleasure.

Maybe they thought of the name after looking up the definition for "cryptic."

cryp·tic Pronunciation Key (krptk) also cryp·ti·cal (-t-kl)
adj.

1. Having hidden meaning; mystifying. See Synonyms at ambiguous.
2. Secret or occult.
3. Using code or cipher.

I like your reiko sig.

Very cool.
