Title: Mortal Kombat
Post by: thatonezombie on February 27, 2011, 03:26:40 AM: (http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs32/f/2008/233/f/b/Mortal_Kombat_2_characters_by_Sw_Art.jpg)

Lets talk Mortal Kombat. For me personally, I put the MK series as my favorite fighting game series. As far as my limited knowledge leads me, MK isnt seen as much in the professional tournaments and things of that nature. Perhaps that plays a role in my loving it so much. In any case, the newest MK game is set to release in April and holy crap am I excited!

Post by: Tuffty on February 27, 2011, 11:36:22 AM: I've never played an MK game and not sure if I should start here. I'll wait til reviews come up before I think about it. I've read about some fatalities though and those sound awesome :lol:

The new MK looks really good.

Post by: thatonezombie on February 27, 2011, 10:12:54 PM: MK2 is pretty awesome but I have a UMK3 bias. You can run and Stryker has a gun.

Post by: pikapikapika on March 01, 2011, 01:08:27 PM: I dunno really, I kind of remember MK as being the cheapest, most unfun to play game ever, and I have many childhood memories of just being miserable playing it, to the point where I was so mad at MK3 on PS1 I actually set it on fire and watched it burn, smiling, rather than trade it in for another game. I hated it THAT much.

In saying that, this new one does look pretty cool, if it actually plays cool, who knows. It seems a lot more polished than usual, and that they seem to have tried hard, but it is an american made game, and USA made fighters generally don't turn out so great, but it's probably going to be better than Marvel Vs Capcom 3.

Post by: thatonezombie on March 04, 2011, 04:31:48 AM: ^Oh man you are right. MK3 on PS1 was a horrible port. Load times were stupidly too long.

I do hope that Ed Boon and the people over at NetherRealm Studios do a good job with this one. I thoroughly enjoyed MK vs DC and keeping those ascetics and bringing in 2D gameplay of fighting game's past makes me giddy.

Oh good to know, I thought this was only true for germany, but we will probably never get the demo or the game at all XD
But as long as it gets released clean and uncut in the UK everythings fine, UK importing ftw!

Post by: thatonezombie on April 28, 2011, 04:10:06 AM: Story mode is long.

I think the demo was a ps3 exclusive for PSN+ members, because I had to use my friends PSN+ account to use it.

Fat lot of good it does us now, obviously, haha
Title: Re: Mortal Kombat
Post by: Tuffty on April 29, 2011, 01:18:39 AM: And look at what happened to them. Karma much? XD jk

I'd still like a demo, I'm still undecided on the game even after looking at gameplay vids.
Title: Re: Mortal Kombat
Post by: thatonezombie on April 29, 2011, 02:05:56 AM: ^ Just to let you know: Stryker has a gun.
Title: Re: Mortal Kombat
Post by: Tuffty on April 29, 2011, 02:19:29 AM: ^ Oh man did you watch the Scrub Tournament when it was live?! I had put an actual bet on Coonce to win it and all XD It was bad that GB went down last week, but finding the email from Justin.tv that the GB stream went live and finding out about the Scrub Tournament and listening to Dave taking phone calls was seriously epic. Made me so glad to be a part of it.

Also, throwing is encouraged.
Title: Re: Mortal Kombat
Post by: thatonezombie on April 29, 2011, 03:09:31 AM: I watched the Scrub Tournament twice :lol:

Completed Story Mode, now climbing up the challenge tower. I don't quite believe in my skills enough to go from being slaughtered to just losing online.
Title: Re: Mortal Kombat
Post by: MochaNutz on May 06, 2011, 05:56:53 AM: i got it about a week ago! I really suck =P
i finally beat story mode. Shao Khan was a bitch omg. 1 hr later i finally realized you have to counter attack him.

I'm doing the challenge tower now. i'm at 62 or something. I'm also trying to finish the game with everyone. What i like about MK games, they really add a lot of stuff in it. Best story in a fighting game. Best endings, not just 2 screens (ahem, MVC3). Lotso characters. Its a really awesome game.
Title: Re: Mortal Kombat
Post by: thatonezombie on May 08, 2011, 02:03:59 AM: So I got stuck on the Challenge tower then after looking at some videos I felt completely stupid on how to solve it because it was super obvious.
Title: Re: Mortal Kombat
Post by: thatonezombie on May 22, 2011, 04:50:02 AM: Challenge Tower has taught me two things: I don't like playing as Ermac or Shang Tsung.

Post by: pikapikapika on June 03, 2014, 09:10:33 PM: I really hope this is just CG and not gameplay because the fighting animations seem awkward and kind of heavy looking.

Lots of people are saying it realy is gameplay and it's just a trick, so yeah I hope not :D
