I agree.I LOVE this game.Best game Iv ever played.heaps better than mkd and mkda.

Oh, sorry about that. My bad. It's just that MK canon is weird in that certain portions of endings - most of the time, stated events which have occurred - are usually canon, while the rest of the events aren't. The Mileena example is like that - it was Shinnok who brought her back, but none of the events mentioned in her ending occurred.

A better example about endings being on the whole irrelevant to the character's canonicity is MK4/Gold Goro. The guy didn't have an ending of his own, but his bio clearly stated that he was around and looking for revenge. Even if Kung Lao's ending didn't exist, we'd still consider him a part of canon to this day.

Now, Khameleon did in fact have both a bio and an ending. Chameleon didn't. This is where the pile of worms opens up, as a LOT of people didn't consider him canon at all, while some of us (like myself) just thought of him as a character who was around, but didn't really matter. Lo and behold, MKA changed that. Hell, the fact that they state he's been around since MKI is more backing to support that MKT is in fact canon.

Even then, there's no real solid 100% formula to determine who or what is official canon. The fans usually decide and come to a more or less group consensus (See how many people consider MK:SM canon. There's an ongoing dispute for ya). I think the only characters who people generally agree were not canon from MKT were Goro ad Kintaro, as they had absolutely no story whatsoever. Hell, Goro was assumed dead at the time.

I agree totally with you on the point of gameplay. It did got better anyhow, but it's still nothing compared to VF, Tekken or SC.

But what I don't understand from you (or from the others complaining about this game), is that you watched to this like it was going to be a huge improvement over Deception. It never was going to be but soooooooo many got hyped up about it... so don't go blaming it on the developers, blame it ALL to yourself!! ALL of you!

This MK was going to be a collection of all MK's we've seen so far. Thinking it would be much better over the past games was a ridiculous thought. Don't like? I'll say it again: Blame yourself for it!

My thoughts on MKA:

Gameplay:
Improved greatly, I’ve never enjoyed a MK game as much as this one.

Storyline:
I don’t really have a problem with the storyline, it’s definitely not a bad as people say it is. They needed a way to bring back everybody and at the same time find a way to rid off most of them for the next generation. MKA is basically a bonus for all of the loyal fans through out the years. Most of the endings are outlandish, but odds are if the character wasn’t in Konquest, they’ll be continuing doing what they have been doing or die.

Konquest:
Did alright covering what is going on with most of the characters. Left some questions, but the bios have yet to be released.

Kreate-A-Fighter:
This is one of my favorite aspects, I’ve been in this mode a great deal of the time while playing this game.

Motor Kombat:
I don’t care for it, but it is a break from the normal parts of the game, which is it’s purpose.

I don't regret buying it, that's for sure.

ok just for you barakafanatic it was sold to the mk public as and i quote "a culmination of the mk saga" in other words an end to its current story. i distincivaly recall hearing boon and various other people off the mk team state that this game would bring closure, again for your benefit you can translate closure as an end to the current story. there is absolutely no way this game delivers on that, my overall and underlying point is the developers hyped up this game, and it's silly not to expect some individuals to buy into that. my suggestion to you is go over some of those old interviews and promotional videos that are dotted all over the internet for this game, maybe when uv'e done that you can come back and post something that gives insight and can be taken seriously.

It just gets boring after after unlocking everything because 1: mostly everything the krypt sucks 2:most alt coustumes are ones from MK:DA and MK:D 3:its to easy to unlock everything if you find all 60 relics in konquest mode which i did 4: you cant save endings so you cant enjoy the story 5:no bios but they are going to add them online which is cool but still its not in the game so it doesnt count 6:it doesnt have khameleon i understand why they didnt have the time but why couldn't they do it when they had the chance 7:the combo suck now i mean they used to be great combos in MK:DA and MK:D they mad them weak now but Air Kombat makes up for it 8:people spend a bunch of time just looking for the secret of the ? and find the code that does something i forgot what it was but i bet its just a way to fill the void in MK:A and people claiming they seen reptire in motor kombat not ture to all these secrets people are claiming to but didnt is just a way to fill the void 9: people should just wait till the Wii comes out and see if khameleon there if not dont make a post like this: OMG khameleon isnt there no : because that is annoying 10:i give the game a 5/5 yes it does have its problems but still i admit that i got bored with the game but if you didnt like it on the PS2 or XBOX try the Wii.Well thats everything I can think of but yes I know im a noob but dosnt mean i will flame everybody like chameleonthecolorchangingninja well thats all folks(sorry for bad grammer)

I have been following the news around MKA pretty well. Also in the time when it was being developed. And based on that, I think most of the hyped up things were created by the fans and not the programmers.
