Well for starters, Konquest. The problem with konquest it that it's missing the whole point of what konquest was originally designed to do, teach us the moves of fighters. Now that the game has 60 characters, this is when we need it most. It's a LOT easier in the former konquest's excersize to learn moves than just, going into practice mode and looking at the moves list every two seconds. The only training mode they do have is the attacks we using in konquest, and they're taught to us when we reach the Oblisk thingy, but konquest only lasts 4-6 hours which means that as soon as konquest is over, all of the training you went through was pointless. The only real good thing that konquest was good for was teaching us Taven and Daegon's story from Taven's point of View, it's like a 4 hour long bio.
And then there's kreate a fighter. This one did turn out to be okay except for the fact that outfits are quite limited, I was planning on making Shokans, Vampires, celeberties, but intstead, I can only dress my fighter in the other kombatants outfits if I want to make a man, and a skimpy whore if I wanna make a woman. The moves selection is down right gay, how EVERYONE has the same button combonations and we can't choose from every move from MK. Also, bieng that every KAK I've seen so far is straight-up broken, using the same moves like Kung-Lao's Low Launcher, the tombstone drop, and 3-hit combos that lead to 40% damage, makes using kakas online no-fun. I wanted to have BLAST playing other creative fighters, but I placed too much faith in MK.
Moloch, Onaga, Blaze are God tier. They have easy powerful combos, cannot be launched, health regenerators, unblockable moves, whatever. They are just plain unfair. Moloch is probably the worst. Why? Because Moloch is teh BrOKen!1!1!1!1!11!!! 1,1,U+3 is an infinite juggle, and two chains results in 50% damage.....okay. But those are just three characters.
Gameplay is still trash. We still have barey any defense game. Breakers which take NO skill are the only thing that can save you from an infinite combo, and you only get three. The new parries which can counter highs, mids, and... throws? ALL with the same button, even though almost every combo leaves the fighter at an opportunity for a free hit. Now we are reduced to only one fighting style and one weapon stance which limits the amount of attacks that we can use making our moves lists even smaller than they were before. a lot of fighters have the same throws, special moves, and even weapons! as another fighter. about...12 people have the same throw that Onaga, Blaze, and Sonya have, and some specials are the same exact things except different effects, like Reiko and Noob have the same teleport move, and Sindel and Shinnok have the same weapon, as well as Stryker and Tanya. Each character has only one throw, great. That adds to more originatlity and character.
Kreate-A-Fatality which is NOT a fatality anymore, it's one big brutality. Everyone has the Same exact chains, with the exclusiuon of the bosses who have the same chains as each other. Now, instead of doing a simple 4 button combonation and watching a cool show, we have to watch every character do the same exact moves, Punch, Roundhouse, Rip heart, rip Arm, smack with arm, turn them around, kick back, decapitate. Yeah, in case you haven't noticed, all those things got old in Mortal Kombat 2. And I can watch a punch or a kick during the match. It also looks so lame, why would the opponent still be standing if you tore off 3 of their limbs and 5 organs?
Endings are pure bullshit. Now, instead of a cool slidehow, we get to watch our favorite MK fighter dance! And many of them have the same dance moves. Also, now that they created wild endings, we can't actually see them on our tv, in other words, take Sindel, she pulls Jerrod's soul from the heavens, imagine how cool that would look. OR, Nitara, the lood God turning evertyone into there vampire slaves. You know, while I'm still in the endings part, not only are many character's endings cheesy, but 59 of them are what if endings, because only one person can defeat Blaze, and that's clearly gonna be Taven. Because if anyone else were to defeat Blaze, we would have them as the supreme overlord of the realms.
Online ranking system sucks. It's like, your stats won't tell you how good you are, because if you win 3 matches, you go up 500 ranks, and it you lose 5 matches, you go down 2000 ranks. We can't tell who's really good and who's really bad in Mortal Kombat anymore.
Motor Kombat is terrible. We only have 8 racers to choose from, and 5 tracks to race on. Motor Kombat's fun wont last any longer than one hour. Maybe if they brought back Chess kombat, in a game with 60 characters, where we have a W I D E variety of people to choose from, the mini-games would be funner.
Unlocking, which is what makes the game fun. Yeah, sure, as soon as you buy the game would want to play as everyone, but unlocking is really what makes the game last. If Mortal Kombat didn't have a high replay value, the game would only last 12 hours. ANd it already gets boring in a quick amount of time. It's so dumb how the game is already beaten for you when you open it. All you need to do is unlock one costume, which can be easily done in konquest.
Only two costumes per character, and they're still the same ones from previous games. Many people don't see this as a problem, but costumes help express character, it makes the game more fun to play AND watch.
No release for XBOX in Europe. Yeah, there are European Mortal Kombat fans too, now they can't play? And even if they could play it, they would have limited opponents because it's region locked. The fact that they couldn't make Mortal Kombat available to EVERY fan, makes them failures.
Probably the best post on this forum. I dont have the game, but by the sounds of things...The game sounds like it failed.
And the last point is so true. The reason i cannot play it is because i have a Xbox and live in Europe. Its Really unfair in my oppinion.
