I have a smallish, tiny gripe that is basically nothing big, but something I think would be cool visually:

When fighting in the pit bottom, why isn't there an addition option for doing a stage fatality down there?

I mean, they could program in lifting the opponent up, and slamming them onto a spike viciously, it doesn't matter if they get slammed stomach first, or back first..., or they could program taking the opponents face and slamming it into the spike, and while they're flailing around and stuck, the opponent performing the fatality can curb stomp them in between the shoulders so they slide down face first toward the bottom of the spike, and maybe face first into the ground while being impaled...

I don't know, I understand uppercutting them at the top of the pit and to the bottom where the spikes are, but if fighting on the bottom, why not USE the spikes to end the bout?

Like I said, small, tiny gripe...

My rant is that Ermac is cheap. It is so easy just to use only his special moves and be a good player...it's ridiculous.

I AM SO PISSED!! A reboot, not a sequel, not a prequel a pathetic reboot. Are we just supposed to forget about 20 years of history and just redo everything? There are 4 things I'm beyond upset about with this game.

Born of bad continuity: Taven won, Not Shao Kahn. Taven beat Blaze, that was the storymode in Armageddon thats who f**cking won. But somehow, even though he was taken away and beaten to death i'm sure by Onaga, we're supposed to believe that Kahn somehow made his way back to the pyramid, not only in time to see Taven beat Blaze, but somehow beat the f#ck out of Taven who was pretty damn powerful at the moment, and kill Blaze himself.

WHY IS EVERYONE DEAD!!!: Liu Kang, Styrker, Sub zero, Noob Saibot, Jade, Kitanna, Nightwolf, Sindel, Kabal, and my favorite Jax. All Dead as a doorknob. Why? Wasn't the purpose for rebooting to undo mistakes like Killing Liu Kang? And don't tell me its to make room for new Characters like Gotdamn hornbuckle, because they could've done that without killing the Protaganist. If they wanted Shao Kahn out of the story, the people at NRS could've kicked his @$$ to the curb years ago, but instead we got one f@cking game explaining EXACTLY how strenuous killing his ass is. I refuse to except ANYONE as a protagonist besides Liu Kang
(except Reptile) tongue

Immaturity towards Characters: "Oh, Hsu hao and Chameleon will not be in any more games." What the F@ck!? You can't just vote them out of the game cause YOU don't like them for some unexplained reason. What about people that actually like Hsu Hao, or Chameleon, or Khameleon (who is capable of a decent romance plot with Reptile) also being ignored. Let us decide who we want instead of getting rid of Characters cause "you don't like them" cause it makes it sound like NR is run by 5 yr olds and also instead of taking the time to make a decent, deeply rooted story that could tie up the events of Armageddon and simply make a decent Fall out game that could lead to the next MK, They reboot and just decide "Oh we'll get it right this time." Bullsh!t, they're excuse is that people've been wanting a reboot since MK4. Who the hell wanted that? Just as soon as Mk shows they can be capable of games with actual plots they decide to make a F@cking reboot and tell us sh!t we already know.

Total lack of Character respect: Baraka, Reptile and Sheeva have been shat on since the game started. No respect for the mighty Tarkattan general, or the Shekan, or even the last of the Raptors. Bullsh!t.

MK4, yes MK3 not really, like MK 1 and 2 better, My favorates out of the entire franchise are in order:

MK2, MKD, MK4, MKA and MK1. My least favorates are MK Special Forces, by far and to a lesser extent MKM, MK3 and MK DA at a distand last because it was a pretty good game but they killed off Liu Kang and once you impailed your opponent with your weapon you couldn't get it back. Also konquest mode compared to the other games in that generation was weak but it was the start of the 3d MK games of that generation so it had room to experement gameplay wise

The only complaints I have about the game are the online lag spikes and
Spoilers: (Highlight to reveal)
the killing off of most of the Kombatants.

For the online lag spikes, it really messes with your gameplay and you find yourself resorting to cheap tactics just to get a hit off. One this is settled, then I will resume going back online.

Spoilers: (Highlight to reveal)
For killing off most of the MK Kombatants, I really was surprised that most of them were just suddenly killed off. Some were killed in the most ridiculous of ways where they actually would most likely survive. Though I complain about it now, I'm sure Ed Boon and the rest of Netherrealm Studios are thinking of a way to input this into continuing the story.
Spoilers: (Highlight to reveal)
Perhaps the Kombatants that were defeated by Raiden may have their souls released while the others
Spoilers: (Highlight to reveal)
(Jade, Smoke, Cyborg Sub-Zero) will remain in the Netherrealm. Also, it may just be a matter of time before we see Ermac and/or Cyrax join the forces of light. Kenshi is already DLC, so he may be input as a normal character for the next game and since he was the one who set Ermac free, perhaps it will happen again. As for Cyrax, Sonya Blade still lives so she may be able to help him. Who knows, maybe Sektor will be reprogrammed instead! I guess I'm not really complaining angrily, just very curious on how they will continue the story.

This game is an abomination.

From the game-breaking and refund worthy online 'fucktionality' and 'eat a dick' lies about in-game content (like the CT prize and boss play) to the simplified gameplay and overall ho hum nature of the game itself, MK2011 is one of the bigger let-downs this gen; in the league of Gears 2's online SW:TFU as a whole.

Nothing about this is surprising however, when you have the ineptitude of Boon and co. behind a fighting game franchise that leaves almost all other fighters in its wake with respect to its narrative, character designs, settings, spin offs, and just about every other factor relating to the franchise... save for GAMEPLAY -- the one area Midway and now Netherregion have etched their names in stone as being utter incapable of grasping the concepts of.

What baffles though is how people can seemingly lap this utter shit of a game up, together with its DLC ransoming, in spite of its myriad flaws. The broken online component of this game (which they refuse to address or even apologise for) alone would kill even the best fighters dead nowadays, and anyone not completely deluded will attest that this game is FAR FROM any 'best fighter' - lol! Yet, the game still succeeds in the sales and interest department. Even the Legacy web series came nowhere near to living up to the standard Rebirth set -- the entire MK reboot has been a fail in almost every respect. Speaks volumes for the lowbrow and easy-to-please target market of this franchise, I suppose, that the developers think they can get away with (read: do get away with) this kind of half-baked shovelware purveying.

The only possible redeeming aspect of this new round of MK anyone could in their right minds could cite would be the meaty (albeit meh in the grand scheme of things) story mode... and even that tailed off into the toilet. And if compared to the Konquest modes of the past, even the story is a relative fail.

Frankly, I wish I could get a refund for this game. I ordered it online (due to it being banned in my area) and thus had no recourse for a full refund. If I had have brought this game through my local EB Games, I would have returned it within a couple of days and told the retailer, in no uncertain terms, that this was one of most unpleasant gaming experiences in a long time and to SHOVE IT!

Fail/10, Netherregion Stupidos. Don't try again.

Regarding Shao Khan returning to the pyramid, people seem to forget that he's capable of powerfull magic aswell... so he probably could have teleported or step in a portal...

I find it quite Ironic that it's ok for Sheeva to continiously Stomp and cast her Fireball, but when I use air missiles as sektor to counter her stomp I'm suddenly spammin missiles >_> (I stayed civil at the guy when he accused me as such... Too bad I got called down from downstairs and couldn't pay attention to the screen, or else I probably would have won ... but wtver... the guy probably would have been more mad then :p )

Some instances where I use missiles:

Kano's foreward ball
any of the shokan jumpstomp attack
Quan chi's teleport
Lui kangs foreward attacks
Kabals run

Quite fair I think...

IF I caught myself spamming, I'd send an apology... but in some cases, when the only way to defend is through a projectile don't blame me if you do the same thing over and over again, and I can only do that in response....

Ok playing MK today I just noticed somthing about the game.
When you get to the end of a great battle and do a xray on some one in the first or sometimes 2nd round the charcter after the xray is performed just stands then flops down. Is this just me noticing this or does anyone else happen to see this?
It would be a perfect opurtunity for a stage break or for the charcter to just stay down after getting hit that hard!
The stage breaks would be awesome with this new mortal kombat on the new generation systems, lets hope this gets implemented in the next game or possibly a DLC if the disk can handle that much of a change.wowfurioussmile

the MUSIC,
the music in MK2011 is does not remind me of MK. i remember MK ́s music as DARK and mystic somehow.

the ART STYLE,
the art style in MK2011 reminds me more warner brothers (x-man, batman) than MK. it went a bit too much too the american direction in terms of style, there should be a balance between the asian and american style.

gore isn ́t everything, the mystic atmosphere MK had from 1 - DA made Mortal kombat mortal kombat. not just the blood.

the EPICH feel,
just felt wrong, thats more for games like w.o.w or fable. it felt like NRS replaced the darkness with the epicness.

the MARTIAL ARTS animations,
compared to the tekken, VF and sf4 series the animations look kinda stiff and less impressive. it's known that the game developers have performed (mocaptured) there own moves.
being creative is good but please (NRS) let the moves be performed by some real skilled martial artists. and not just 1 martial artist bc we will see the similarity's in the moves.

the ANNOUNCER,
i think this MK has the worst announcer of the series
also does shao kahn act like a fool when he does his quotes

the NET-CODE and on-line RESTRICIONS,
i don't think there needs an explanation why.

the BUTTON RECOVERY, i love to play fast and on reactions of my opponent, the slow recovery from punches especially kicks make it very annoying/difficult and force the game-play in combo's or tricks. i think there should be faster recovery from the 1,2,3 & 4 buttons.

the ROUNDHOUSE kick, the round house kick is now just 1 button?! it feels wrong not bc im used to the klassics but it just makes no sense. the sweep, uppercut are all performed like first why change the roundhouse kick :S

NRS please don't fix something if its not broken, just stick to dark themed MK.

this should give an idea what im talking about in terms of music and voice.
