Personally, I could go either way...more realistic violence or this more exaggerated kind....doesn't bother me. The game itself with all it's quirps and chirps is what I'm most into.
HOWEVER, I spent 180 days in Iraq. Don't ever use whats going on over there as some cheap word tool. 'enough said.
Does this dress make me look fat?

I would want it to LOOK realistic to the point where the blood and fighting looks great. IMO if the fatalities were realistic alot of people wouldnt like them.......why? well because........there realistic.
I dislike how the blood flows in MKD. And some of the fatalities really dissapoint me. Each time i see a character "fall apart" or "crumble" i get a headache. IMO when the character crumbles or falls into pieces in the fatalities it looks so boring and un-original.
Take a look at Kira's fatality where she cuts you and kicks you into pieces........IMO its just so boring and it looks like the MK staff just rushed it and didnt put any time into it. I'm also not to pleased with Kabals fatality and Ashrah's fatality where she uses her magic to make you fall into pieces. B-O-R-I-N-G!

They only wanted to stay with what the players, want, lots of blood and gore, i for one, do not care either way, the game is still gonna rock, on the other hand, the way certain characters fall over after getting the fatality performed on them has improved over deadly alliance.

Mortal Kombat has to be unrealistic because of insane people would try to kill someone the way mortal kambat shows them and mk would be banned in a lot of place, just like manhunt ! someone kill his friend with a hammer because he saw it in the game. Ed Boon said that the violence limit of the game would be to do something that someone could reproduce

hey bro you army or marines?

Wasn't this debated before?
You can't go too real. Too much of a liability. The violence in this game is more realistic than in any other game. In most first person shooters, those killed just fall.
Even in the horror games and shooter. The gore is in how the characters look. How about the one with the spikes for arms and legs. but they still go down with a thump. not an exploding, mangled body.
The fatalities in MKD are just grusome from a game point of view. This one will surely draw ire from senators and congressman. But I guarntee that they will wait till after the game comes out.
But when they do make a stink. The will make the game more popular than ever.
