Just wondered what you guys thought of the whole experience of the game and whether you think the 'rebirth' shall we call it was a success. Anything can be brought up here as a pro or con. go nuts people :)

For me i thoroughly enjoyed this game, Story, arcade, tower, vs ... well the lot haha. But i do have a few bones to pick away at.

First and foremost why did Raiden not tell himself to smack the shit out of Cage, burn off his chest tattoo, and cut off his ears so he can't wear sun glasses haha. But other than his unbearable persona, in Cages ending it bangs on about some ancient race of warriors or something. At the end of the first tourny Raiden should tell him all of this and he should go on a proper quest to beef up his story line. rather than spazzing out and being send to another realm to sort it out. Maby then i would bring my self to like him.

Noob and Ermac should have ascended to much greater power or dominance with in the story. Like Noob gaining immense power and becoming a proper threat to earth real or even outworld in his own right. Or Ermac breaking Kahns hold on him early on and properly fight along side Earthrealm.

Another idea i toyed with was Kung Lao being so out raged at Liu Kang being 'the chosen one' that he renounces earth at fights along side outworld in the hope for glory in battle. Or something like that, to be honest i just want to see him properly pitted against Kang haha.

I thought it would have been awesome for Scorpy to regain his clan and have a huge war with the Lin Kuai. But thats just childish fantasy haha. Also with the Lin Kuai to see it torn in to under 2 different leaders and fight till there is only one, this one is more realistic. Who would the 2 leaders be though :P

A hell of alot more Kabal story but thats just because i think he is awesome same with Ermac and Noob please :)

And last but not least WHY THE FUCK DID MONTARO JUST FUCKING DIE :( would have made an epic sub boss still. But nooo raiden just fucking killed him straight away. more fiction between shokan takartan and centor would be cool

And that is all from me i think haha sorry if there is a thread like this already.

I can't understand how this game could be considered a "Fail" by any stretch of the imagination. It was definitely a tremendous success.


And just so you know, Motaro was killed because he could not be put in the game due to technical limitations. Had he been in the game, the fight engine would have to be drastically edited to suit his body type. And that was too much work for a game that had more important things to focus on.

Like Kratos?
I don't know about that reasoning.
Anything can be done with the correct time management.
I'm not buying that excuse anymore.

On-Topic: A fail?!
Please, if anything it's the best thing that has ever happened to the series.

I see what you're saying- to an extent. But I guess they just felt that editing a few fatalities was more worth their time than redesigning the game engine for one boss. That's no excuse, it's more like a reason.

MK9 is so far from fail, that the light from fail will take millions of years to reach it.

Considering MK9 was the first MK game to even catch my eye and caused me to go buy every other game in the series since, yeah, I'd say that's a win.

Another one of these topics again. I'm sure you just could've posted in one of the other 14.868 topics on this instead of creating another one. Seems like there's a couple of new ones like this every day...

Well, it just seems like MKO's forums has lost alot of good thread-makers, so to speak. There are a few good threads, some which make for good debate and discussion, but ever since the game's release, it's been degrading to "Do you like..." or "Do you hate..." threads, or as I call them, "Yes or no" threads. The topics aren't really good for discussion.

It's rather sad, really...

The story is a fail, but the gameplay is pretty much a win. It's my favorite MK game to play, but the story is garbage. Overall, the game is a huge success.

Kratos is different. He has the same skeletal structure as the rest of the male characters so they didn't need to make edits from a gameplay standpoint. Likewise for the Shokans. While they obviously had extra arms, other major parts of their structure (for example, the legs) were the same as the other characters.

Motaro has a completely different physiology due to him being a Centaur. Things like x-rays or fatalities targeting his legs would have be reworked big time. Like Quan Chi's 'On Your Knees' fatality for example. Or Kano's x-ray. Which is more effort that it's worth for one character, in my opinion.

People are entitled to their opinion, what you think is stupid isn't towards other people. And yes, they do have the right to say whatever they want, they shouldn't though, have to see that people think their answers are stupid becuase you happen to disagree with them.

And you can cut the crap right now with that. There are some users who actually liked the story, such as myself. And if you're going to continue calling everyone stupid for that, well then hello skull points!
