The faster pace of the gameplay. The juxtaposition of Outworld-y stuff against urban environments. The suddenly maligned sense of humor. And of course, Kombat Kodes.

In other words, novelty, gimmickry and style over subtance.

just to get a DLC costume, it's totally not worth it. I'll just wait.

It's not a personal insult. Katalin Zamiar is one of the hottest women ever. ANYONE would be lucky to look half as good as her.

Slightly off topic, but I have a question for you guys. This is the first game I've pre-ordered in the DLC era. I pre-ordered from Best Buy because there's one literally a mile from my house so I can pick it up on the release date.

My question is, will my DLC redemption code be in with the package when I pick it up, or should I have received it via email when I placed the order? Thanks.

I already eliminated Shang and Sindel. Sektor gets a pass, barely.

Ok, let's break it down again.

Stryker pulls out a taser and electrocutes the opponent, who does not burst into flame or explode into more limbs than an orgy between Shiva (note spelling) and the Man-Spider from Spider-man. Pass!

Stryker conjures a bomb from out of hammerspace, sets the timer and jumps about 12 feet away, dying horribly in the resulting explosion. Oh, that's what would've happened if he had actually done that. What actually happens is the opponent blood exploding into a mannequin factory's worth of superfluous limbs. FFFFAAAAAIIIIILLLLLL.

Stryker is eliminated.

Sheeva tears the skin off her opponent, leaving behind a meaty skeleton and a comically stupid looking jelly blob of skin with a giant gaping mouth. Pass, but I had to actively ignore the stupid to make that the case.

Sheeva pounds the opponent into the ground in a way that looks comically bad. Pass, because it's still better than a lot of them.

Sheeva manages to hang on, if only by comparison.

Cyrax spins his head around, turning his cyber dreadlocks into a helicopter blade. He flies into the air straight up offscreen. He flies straight down, slicing the opponent into more limbs than are in the Crazy 88's scene in Kill Bill. FAIL.

Cyrax sets his self destruct sequence, forfeiting the player's turn and resulting in a non-standard game over. Ok, not really, but that would've been better than an explosion resulting in an unprecedented 94 ribcages, 14 arms, 24 legs and about 1,834 miscellaneous bones. Good concept. Horrible execution. Fail.

Cyrax is eliminated.

Nightwolf calls down a beam of light that banishes his opponent to the astral plane. Pass!

Nightwolf uses his tomahawk and apparent mastery over the elements to electrocute the opponent. Pass!

Nightwolf hangs on, joining a very small elite group of people with 2 non-terrible Fatalities in MK3.

Kinda sucks I already pre-ordered at gamestop...oh well. I will gladly trade my scorpion dlc for mileena classic if possible..

No, seriously... isn't this just awesome:



I love it. ^^
I do kinda miss the more humorous fatalities. I like that they are being alot more serious this time around, but I'd rather have some of these funny fatalities than a whole bunch of dismemberment ones that looks alike...

This is just coming off schmucky and normally I like reading your posts.

This "eliminated" and "pass" crap is the definition of subjective. "Oh, I elminated them so nyeh". I loved both of Sindel's fatalities. Her hair is clearly a weapon of hers, so using it as a weapon is great. I'm not a huge fan of the muiltiple ribcage thing but I love that they explode into bone. That was pure 90s awesomesauce.
As just an example.
But meh, opinions are opinions

But, on your Stryker. You say that he conjures something from hammerspace like that's a bad thing >_O Every character does that in most video games. You also seem to feel necessary to mention that he jumps 12 feet like that's "unrealistic"... considering the context I'd hardly call it remarkable.

Wish there was a way to change their hairstyle. They'd look astronomically better with long hair, whether coming from the bun or if completely loose.

I love you Bezou, but, I have to agree with samuhai.

And that's why the retro costume's not from MK2...

Not me, he's spot on with how stupid those fatalities were.

For everyone who liked Kabal's head expansion thing, serious question: were you like 10 when MK3 came out? Not trying to insult you, because I was like 17 and that s*** just looked retarded to me, So I'm thinking it was a age gap thing.

I think it looks great, and that was just by a deviant art guy. Whatever guy is designing the costumes for the new game could probably do an even better job on updating it like he did with Jade's retro.

I was also 17 when MK3 came out. Going on 18.

I gotta say that, given how much we tend to agree on things, if I didn't know better I would think that unseenwombat is another account of mine. But I know that it's not and that's the strange part.
