Well I think the game is very good. I've been a fan since MK 1 in the arcades and for me I think this is the best one since MK2. However...
I am tired of them announcing features that never make it into the game, and since MK4 and Deadly Alliance were poor, plus the fact they saved time by not having to build another game engine, there should have been (should be) more characters.
In Deadly Alliance there were 23 characters. Now after two years we get 24. They could have easily allowed the Deadly Alliance characters to be playable since the models are on the disc itself. This is deliberate on their part, perhaps making sure we don't get too much in one game. I feel ripped off however.
The game is fun to play, though some characters such as Hotaru seem very limited because of a low amount of special moves ( 2! ), while others such as Scorpion and Bo Rai Cho can use many different tactics.
There is a problem with tracking as well, a character like Ashrah can start her combo, i'll side step it, yet she'll still hit me with her remaining attacks.
I also don't feel in total control of the game with the dial-a-combo system, I want to be able to time my attacks by actually seeing the result of my button presses as I press them.
This is why some people who start up playing MK have a problem in the training modes because they time their button presses with the animation, which doesnt work. You enter the entire combo and then watch the animation unfold.
Unless there are super-unlockable characters, this will be my last MK game.
I have other reasons as well, which I will get to as people respond to this post.
...but then again, I will wait until Fight Night.

I think it's a big mistake to assume that there's nothing left to find. Some people are so attached to unbelieving in SUs that it becomes unreasonable. DA had something more, there's going to be SOMETHING else in Deception. We don't have any Blaze/Mokap type finds just yet, but that is no reason to believe that it will never happen. These things can take time. Don't be so short-sighted.

We didnt find everything!!!
Dude there so much more out there I can feel it.
Boon wouldn't sell us short I know that

Until you find out what to do with Ninja Star, and what to do with Raiden's staff (resulting from the White Lotus headband)... do NOT presume everything is done. When you picked up Ninja Star, it TELLS you it will be useful LATER!

Not to be an asshole, but I've yet to see anyone with over 1,000 visits claim they believe in SUs. That doesn't add a lot of creedence to your position.

Well, I'm VERY pleased with the game. I don't care THAT much for the DA characters in the game even though they could have been. I think they should've made more playable characters(either returning from older MK games or new), but well; IF there is no super unlockable in the game(which is a bit hard to believe) I would still be pleased with the game.
Yes, it could have had more things and could have been better....but I definetly like the game the way it is.

Despite the glitches, and seemingly lack of MORE unlockable characters, i TOO agree that this game is AWESOME already.
Even if, there are NO MORE left (But i know there IS) I won't complain a bit!
And, what does one's visit have to do with anything? That's ignorant thinking, if you think people have more visits knows more!
Unless Midway/Ed Boon/Developers missed about that Ninja Star thing, it IS something UNresolved, and that alone is indication there is something else in this game!
Even if that Ninja Star (And Raiden's staff) is nothing important, you still gotta figure out Who do you take it to.... NOBODY has done that yet!

I'm under the impression that Raiden's staff is just a momento like the winterstone. I don't think it does anything or you give it to anyone. Same with the Ninja star.

I have over 1000 visits (which doesn't mean anything) and I believe there is defenately something left in this game. Whether it is "Super Unlockables" or a cheat menu, there is defenately something left.

>Same with the Ninja star.<
Comon, you were TOLD it would be useful later! How could you ignore something like that, and say it's just a momento object?

It means you've got experience, it means you come here often. There are a lot of people who just registered this month who think they are know it alls, when they know nothing. Anyone who's been around since the beginning knows that Ed Boon is a habitual liar He perpetuated the Ermac rumor 11 years ago.
At the very most, and we're talking highly unlikely, there's a cheat menu with stuff like one button fatalities, and things that take Konquest mode stipulations (healing, bleeding to death, double damage etc) and makes them options for your arcade mode play.

Thinking that a person's visit count has ANYTHING at all to do with their intelligence, credibility, or anything else is an extremely ignorant and foolish thing.
Not to be an asshole.

Experience. MK2 told you that Smoke and Jade were in MK1. Kochal was supposed to be a huge surprise; it was just a fucking portal. I know that if there was anything to do left in the game, our gigantic community, some members of which have been playing the game 9 hours a day since it came out, would've found something.
The ninja star was probably a mission that was taken out.

You are correct for the most part, ErmacMk5. Seniority does mean we understand how the site works and how Boon has acted in the past, but remember, we also started at "1 visits".
As for the subject of this thread, I agree with you. This is my favorite MK, or at least equal to MK2.
9.5/10
Fight Night will be the answer to our questions...even if it is as disappointing as last year.

It has nothing to do with their intelligence. It does have to do with their credibility in the Mortal Kombat circles. If someone's got a visit count of 24 and is using Ed's word as proof though, they are a fool.
Ed has lied to us before. MKDA didn't have anywhere near what it was supposed to have; Every MK he says each character will have 2-3 fatalities; I can count the number of 3rd fatalities on one hand. He perpetuated the Ermac rumor in 1993.
So if someone is using the word of someone who makes a living by not living fully upto his promises, and never gets around to what he wants to do in the game as a fact, then yes, I think they are idiots.

lol, ermac, when someone actually unlocks something, or SUS will be confirmed, than i wish u won't be able to unlock them becouse u didnt believe in them in the first place

Seniority isn't the be all end all. Maybe I should've gone with 100 posts instead. All I see these days are Newbies taking one statement Boon made out of context. Even if that quote was taken in the proper context it doesn't mean it's true.
There are:
*24 characters.
*400 krypt koffins.
*2 fatalities + 1 hari kari.
If you want more, wait for the GC version, cause there's nothing left in this one.

Considering the game has been hacked to death, revealing no complete characters (I.E. the 13 it did reveal are glitchy as hell) I am under the impression that there are no true SU's. So why don't you go "lol" your way into another thread where you can catch up on the news.

now that we've found everything? there are some scrubs that are still asking where to find Liu Kang's alt costume and how to unlock Raiden
also, to those who say "we haven't found Deception's Mokap or Blaze yet", if the rumored Super Unlockables are basically a Mokap and Blaze, then i don't think they should have bothered including them at all... especially considering people are doing a helluva lot of work to find them
and to answer Ermac's question, yes i'm satisfied with Deception, but i still think it could've been better... so many features had the potential to be so much more

I don't think we have found everything there is to find in the game. The "super unlockables" Boon as hinted at hasn't been found. As for my own rating of MK: Deception, I would say it is ok. MK: Deadly Alliance is my fav MK game even over Deception. I loved the fighting system in it. Deception seems to me to play a bit slower than MK: DA. I wanted Deception to be faster, but to me it isn't. Also there are too many unanswered questions. For example we don't know why Sub-Zero and Scorpion are foes once again as hinted in there video bios. Also I thought the new characters were a bit on the plain side. Nothing real special. Also the endings seem to be a bit MKish. I mean MK endings most of the time leave you wanting more. Deception's endings tel you want happens, and nothing really special happens in the ending execpt for a few endings. Endings are a bit borning and they don't make me wonder about MK7 storyline.Yeah MK : DA didn't have all cool new characters ,but to me that had some style to them. To me Deception's characters storylines seem to be too thin.
I think Deception is good. I am still learning the fighting system( get mad when the AI owns me ). To me Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance had more of a kickass inpact with its fighting system, storyline twists, and its Konquest mode( Konquest to me should have training seprate from the Konquest story or at least give the player a choice to train at a certain skill that you are weak in the area. I had a better time with MK: DA's Konquest than Deception's.

Well, It's still possible that Ninja Star is taken out of the game, but I don't think so. It's a SLIM possibility IMO that the developers are this forgettable at it.

Yes, yes, there are only 24 characters and so on, yes of course. You keep believing that, and please remember to take a picture of your expression when you find out that something else has been unlocked. No, I'm not just going on Boon's word or anything else like that you claim "noobs" do. Why this would be the first MK to have absolutely no secrets? That makes no sense. There's going to be something.

*cough* Read my post. *cough*
It's obvious we still haven't found everything. Too many people now are saying that through hex they have found stuff in coding leading to stuff we don't know about.

the game has been hacked, lol, BIG DEAL!...........i can name at least a dozen games off the top of my head that included some sort of extras, and Game hacking, for the most part, just didnt do the job.
Lol, just watch and see, ermie, just watch and learn..... Go to the Official I-Guide website then go under bonus content, and right on that page it says "There are two legendary, unlockable characters in Mortal Kombat: Deception that are so secret, we couldn’t reveal them but we will soon. Check back." Here is the link: http://www.iguides.net/mkd/bonus.html
