Man oh man. I periodically check back every four months or so to see if a new and awesome MK game might one day be made. You know the one I mean, the one that will restore MK to its lost glory. The one that will fill my need for blood, fatalities, ninjas, childhood nostalgia and memories of quarters spent.

Unfortunately this new MK game is like being tied to a toilet and used for the pleasure of ten large inmates. Look Ed Boon, I know you are really tired of doing "traditional" (by traditional I mean good) games, and have entered your artsy phase, and are looking to do something akin to modern art (by modern art, I mean bad art). Maybe you are wearing a French Barret, maybe your apartment is painted black, I don't know. But I want you to know that my life is now significantly worse upon seeing this game. I actually at first thought it might be some drug induced hallucination that I was having. A toxic fever dream perhaps. The sheer bullshitty absurdity of this idea made me think it was some practical joke by some jerk. You know the type, the jerks who post replies to youtube videos. But alas, this was no April fools joke, this apparently is real.

I will say one thing. I did feel a need to play classic and new MK characters, with full fatalities on the next gen systems. I did not however need to ever see Scorpion beating on Batman.

On the list of things to do in my life, Aquaman vs Raiden is not one of them. However, apparently it was one of your "things to do".

Now Eddy, I dont mind if you want to make a gay MK vs DC game for personal use, but releasing a steaming turd biscuit like this to the public is inhumane. I personally believe that you owe me something better.

What the hell were you thinking? Most DC Characters are beyond gay on their best day, let alone when their gayness is contrasted by the sheer awesomeness of past MK characters. The only DC character who is even the slightest bit not gay is batman, and thats simply because he is a maniac in a giant bat suit. The rest of them are broadway musical gay, RENT gay.

I think Ill skip this masterfully crafted steaming load, and wait and hope that one day you deliver a crazy, violent, original, dark, classic MK game to the people who made you rich. Ill allow you this one opium induced artsy crapfest, but if the next MK game does not induce severe psychological damage to me by its sheer darkness and gory fatalities I will personally hunt you down and literally bore you to death with my incessant criticisms of how you sold out and became a crazy namby pamby, bohemian pussy in a pink petticoat.

Now go play MKII over and over and over again, and maybe rent Hellraiser and play doom 3 (a video game with balls) for some ideas and flavour and you may find yourself in my good graces once again.

'Hi, I like cheap B movie gore and do not care about gameplay, and I don't know anything about how dark DC is but I do not care.' -all I got out of the first post.

Top post, that's all I have to say. But yeah, people are affected by the truth. He's not doing it for the shear coolness of the whole scorpion vs scarecrow... it's for the fucking money... your money (or your parents' money wink )

Mmmm, delicious cliches.

I understand where you're coming from, but that's what we got in the last two games and they were panned. It was all the blood and fatalities and ninjas we could handle and it sucked. So... whatever. That just isn't what's going to make another MKII type instant classic anymore, times have changed.

I agree. And I bet that Boon isn't a hardcore fan of his own creation.
I doupt if he plays MK 1 - 4 anymore. He says the game needs a reboot. Ok, I totally agree with that but using a reboot should have kept the full gore, the rich amound of blood , the uppercut and the most important and enjoyable element of the game : the fataliets and the stage fatalities. He put away the fatalities to put batman , superman, flash, granny goodness, gorilla grodd, robin , wonderwoman, harley queen and others who don't fit in the game.
I will not complain for the MKs after 2002 because even if they weren't as good as the other ones I really enjoyed them. Only MK:DA didn't like much because of the lack of stage fatalities. I find it really cool and fun to through the opponent to spikes , acid etc. I really enjoyed MK:D and MK:SM. I have never complained before I saw this MKvsDC crap. But because as many other say I felt that the MK franchise is in danger and I cannot allow this to happen. I love MK and I want to see Boon and his team creating a traditional MK using their best of their talent and passion for this franchise. Then all the good things will come.
The glory, the good fan comments and finally the MONEY. MUCH MONEY.

So far I have read everyone crying about MK vs Dc and no one is actually criticizing Ed for the bad games he made recently. No one here so far gives a shit about how good the new game should be. MIDWAY and Ed have decided what the new MK game will be, and there is nothing anyone of us can do. So play along with them and hope they don't make things worse, but better, much better.

The previous three MK games sucked(and it sucked big) is because Ed was busy playing Tekken. Do you people remember how much he loves Tekken. He has even hinted Tekken(an interview or a sound byte at TRMK) is a better fighting game than what's out there. I guess I'll agree with Ed.

And seriously, Midway has done a bad job with MK since it went 3D. I think its not the excess blood (well not totally) or the fatalities that killed MK. Its the really really really bad game mechanics, and really bad character animations. grin Even the new trailer of MK vs DC, have you seen the extra lousy effort to make Unreal engine look pathetic? Now who can actually throw another human like he is rag doll? Batman isn't Superman to throw Sub-Zero like that. Atleast animate it well. Atleast make the "throw" or everything else a little more fluid. Realism( atleast 2% of it ) should be included. Don't get me started on the hyperextension move subzero does to batman and the so called free fall fights(cough, looser, cough). Again I say it, animate it well.

Ed needs to spend time with Epic, the engine, go and watch a few martial arts training, study character art and get the animation and game mechanics top notch. Please put some emphasis on one on one (human) matches and than 'vs AI' fights. The story telling will sell single player and the AI. Then release the MK vs DC. I rather wait for the game to come out middle of next year to have a game to add to my collection than one made to make me go back to Tekken in November.

Ps
MKSM rocked but didn't get a perfect score was because of animation(it wasn't God Of War). It rocked because of killer game mechanics and two player was even more fun.

MK Deception was a billion times cooler than this new "game".

Man I wish Boon would grow some balls, and start making dark games again. I saw some interview where Boon was saying he often vetoed the really hardcore fatalities because he was just "too nice a guy". How pathetic.

The cartooniness of Street Fighter was tailor-made for being whored out to other properties (Marvel, etc.)

You don't do that with MK, though. I don't care if DC is darker than The Exorcist.
