Ya know Ive been seeing alot of posts about how MKA could have been better.
Well if you ask me, any of you who think that are fools! This was every thing I expected it to be and more. Just imagine, all of the stuff that they had to pack into this 1 game, it probably was really hard to make. Extremely hard infact. So just imagine working, really hard, as hard as you could on somthing to try and make it the best of the best, make it a perfect game, trying to make it flawless, and then when yer all done getting nitpicked about how it could be better. It would really disturb you wouldnt it?
So why dont we stop picking on the game, and talk about the positive things of the game. I meen the game is pretty incredible. So much detail. I was impressed by the level openings, and the death traps. Also the fatalities are incredibly, easy, which is realy fun. Also when you do them you get Koins witch is a really easy way to get money. And in Konquest mode, Im stuck on the part, where you just enter Shao-Khans fortress in Out world. I meen i know what you have to do but after I fight the Shuo-Khan gaurds, I keep on getting my head cut off by those spinning blades, nervousnees i guess (lol).
Ive beaten the game several times. But after you beat Blaze the first time, it gets really easy.Ive even beaten the gam with my kreated Kharacter, Prodigy. He is a giant Tarkaten, who joined the Lin- Kieu. You see Prodigy was wondering the outworld one day, and he came across Shang-Tsung, and Shang-Tsung killed him. He focussed massive amounts of dark energy through prodigy so he could control him, and make him his body gaurd (this was before he found Goro). When Shang-Tsung brought him back to life, he tried to control prodigy, but he went nuts. So Shang-Tsung put him to sleep, in an eternal chamber. When Armeggedon hit he was freed and every thing attacked him, for his frightining features. But the Lin-Kieu saw the power of this kreature, and befrended him. So he did every thing they asked of him from then on. The kreature also aquired Lin-Kieu armor, and learned the art of Lin-Kieu fighting.

No one was expecting perfection from this game, just improvement in things like the fighting system, which is still horrible. I'm sure Boon and co. worked real hard on the game, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they came out with a quality product.
Why should we not criticize the game? Don't you think that the MK team should be open to criticism if it's done constructively and with good points? If they learn of the big flaws, they could learn from them and try to make the next game better.

The game has its positives and negatives like other games. However, MKA was a disappointment and failure in different ways.

First off, his name is spelled Shao Kahn, not Shou-Khan. Secondly, Shao Kahn's fortress is in Outworld, not Earthrealm.

*yawns* Btw, the name of Sub-Zero's clan is spelled Lin Kuei, not Lin-Kieu. Shotokan is the name of the Japanese style of Karate founded by Gichin Funakoshi. What you're referring to is a Shokan.

You're just a blind fanboy who simply plays the game on a very casual level. This isn't to say that playing on a casual level is a bad thing. It's just that you're too ignorant to see how greatly flawed MKA is.

You know, I like the way you wrote that and its honestly nice to see you are having fun and enjoy the game.
Sadly, the majority will still see it as an incomplete rushed product with no real value in terms of what MK is really about.
You have a very good point about that part of “working really hard on something and then some bastards just come up and start nitpicking everything”, but sadly, its not the first time fans are disappointed like this, filled with loads of promises that in the end are never full field, and always having to deal with a rushed game that one can even say its mediocre, because not only it could, but it SHOULD had been so much better.
Sadly, no matter how good some things are in MKA (konquest is simply beautiful and fun! The best thing of this game no doubt, vs screen pics are amazing, special covers rocked, motor kombat is fun, air kombat was an excellent addition, the music is beautiful and amazing, death traps are superb, etc.), it will never be enough to make up for all the bad, and you actually pointed out some of the bad stuff.
The game being easy its not a good thing, for someone who doesn’t have online its horrible and gets boring very fast, and things can only get worst if they used recycled gameplay from not only 1, but 2 previous games with no real novelty. Sure air kombat rocks and was an excellent new feature, but sadly, all characters shared the same air attacks, and the main fighting is done on the ground, and that fighting was still the same despite the new elements that were added. It all felt like the 2 last games, which we all played very much.
The game being easy is not a good thing. Getting koins way to easily actually takes away the fun of being able to work hard to buy something from the krypt, and it was all even worst with the “????” code part and the part of unlocking everything by just getting all the Konquest relics.
Fatalities being easy to do are not fun, and whats worst, they are horrible in MKA. The fatality system was just a big sad bad developed and annoying excuse to get the game finished fast. All those annoying interviews about “everyone being excited about the new system” and all those stupid cheery happy comments about “fans will finally be able to interact and make things more dynamic, YAY!” really made me sick. I knew from start the system would suck, I wasn’t convinced but still decided not to make real judgment till the game was out.
Not only did it suck badly, it was also a terrible disappointment not to see characters do at LEAST 1 original finisher, like Ed Boon and others promised. I clearly remember him and others saying characters would have at least one original finisher in all that shared chain of fatalities, but no, another promised that was clearly forgotten.
I could go on and on and on about all the horrible things that make this game such a horrible Mk game, but Im too tired, and true fans already know what failed with this game. Its all there:
-The lack of novelty and originality
-The recycled elements (from characters to the tiny re-used boring decorations that were new and fun in MKDA-MKD)
-The sadly messed up storyline because of the lack of bios and because of the incredibly disappointing and stupid endings
-The largely boring arcade ladder with the same 12 repetitive arenas and characters
-The ugly design of the select screen and some arenas
-No real closure of the storyline like promised
-Incomplete create a character mode (this needs to be mentioned even if the mode is already cool and fun, because originally a lot more was promised and shown, in the end it got cut)
-The kata endings (another sad and lame excuse to finish easily without taking the time and decency of making beautiful art pics like done for MK1-MKD)
-etc etc etc.
Its just way too much, the game failed in so many aspects that the few things that are really really good just cant stand up against the ones that are bad, because they are horrible.
So in the end, almost every fan out there (and not only just fans, read the reviews to get an idea) is "crazy", because they (we) feel the game was a rushed product that could had had huge potential, but it was all thrown away. It feels almost like they went for quantity over quality, which sucks.
Theres no real quality or deep beauty in this game. The real beauty can be seen in MKDA (very very much) and MKD (yes, even despite its horrible gameplay the game is very beautiful and well worked and elaborated in that other aspect), but not in MKA.
MKA has its beauty in its music, konquets, pictures, and a few more things...but being built with recycled elements really made it a disappointment, and being so rushed didnt help either. Sure MKD used recycled stuff from MKDA, but it was well done, and there was real novelty in those games back then, after that, it all got boring, MKA felt way too boring.
Its great that you feel the game is fun (lucky you actually), and even though some will agree, the majority will still complain because they all fear the team will continue making the same mistakes, and the only way to let them know the horrible things, is to tell them in some way, and since everyone has gotten tired of the broken promises and constant excuses, everyone will just be very cruel about it, because its been done way too many times already, and its gotten tiring, and fans just cant stand it anymore.
Most got rebellious ever since MKD was released, but a few of us decided to give Mk another chance because we knew it could do and would do better (specially because even though so many flaws were found in MKDs gameplay, the game wasn’t close to being bad, there were way too many good things to make up for the flawed gameplay) sadly, we weren’t correct.

*****I Just read your post Subby7th (how are you btw? I hope you are doing fine! I will pm you as soon as I get my life back
