Damn it, Ed Boon! This is just like that time I was going to buy the last copy of Mythologies but didn't because the case was cracked! God damn it Boon! When will you stop screwing us fans?! A POX! A POX!!!

actually i don't care about one fatality either but it seems they are more willing to go back and edit the game to get a teen rating than just leave it as it and have it rated M. Which seems to be DCs will.

the fans will was to get a decent fighting engine and that took four years.

Why do people keep blaming Boon on this?

I see more "F*CK ED BOON!" when I should be seeing "F*CK THE ESRB!" if anything. Do people not realize the build ED BOON AND TEAM put together had to be looked over by the ESRB?

This is why the Joker fatalitly is the way it is.

This is why the US is getting a slightly toned down version.

You people knew you were going to get a TEEN rating months ago! Face it. You're not getting Mortal Kombat 9. Not yet at least. Take this game for what it is. If you're interested, great! If not...At least point your fingers at the ones who are actually to blame.

1up ran an article yesterday that actually highlights how the particulars of Obama's video game policies might actually not be such a bad thing for an industry regularly the scapegoat.

No big deal, all the Fatalies look terrible to be honest. At any rate, this is by far the most violent 'T' rated fighting game, ever, so put that into perspective a bit. They got away with a lot as is.

Understood.. and I agree with you. I don't want another MK vs. DC (especially if it'll mean that the mainstream MK games take longer to come around.) However, it was brought up before (I forget by which users now) that perhaps the team that worked on MKSM could take over work for the MK vs. DC games.. while another team handles the mainstream MK games. And that's only IF another MK vs DC game is made. Let it be very clear that if it were to come down to choosing between the two.. it'd be strictly MK games all the way.

See? Is it so unreasonable to want a pure MK game when that's what we were promised to begin with?

lol. If you believe something that a developer or producer says about an upcoming movie or game before it's even in production then you get what you deserve. That's hilariously naive. BUT BOON SAID! Well, I'm sure he had every intention of doing exactly what he said. But shit changes. Welcome to life.

Pretty good point. I can't think of many games rated T which are much more violent than this.

Look, after everything that they've bastardized in this game, why would anyone expect different from this utter shitshow of a product?

I think the PS3 is region-free, so I'll just import the complete version from Europe. A shame I can't get an unaltered version locally, though.

This should be GOOD news for the folks that were pissed about the censorship initially, import the the damn game and you'll get what you want, it's not that hard.

You guys are soooo over reacting to this news. It's almost as though they've just announced a 3month delay or something. Chillout guys!

I want a solid fight game. If you want gunshots, then get Gears of War 2!

again i think it's less about the one specific fatality and more so about how the fans just want this game to be M rated. that they kind of have to eat shit and censore themselves because of DC characters.

i don't see any reason why we can't have a solid fighting engine and gunshots. we shouldn't have to choose either or which midway makes us do a lot.

The problem is that I don't think it's just one fatality, any of them that were objected to by the ESRB and had to be recut, will probably be uncut in the U.K. version.

I was thinking about importing the game but, how will this affect DLC? If there is DLC that is.

People are forgetting that it's Boon and Midway's fault this game is even happening. They knew DC wouldn't go for an M rating but they allowed it anyways and we're the ones being fucked over for it.
