Mortal Kombat

[kain4521]

Finally got around to finishing story mode yesterday while avoiding the in laws. Love the storyline with this one but

Spoiler:

hate how so many characters met their end.

Spoiler:

For a game that is famous for its Fatalities, it is kinda surprising more characters haven't offically been killed off before in the story. The only ones I can think of were the original Sub-zero, who becomes Noob and Lui Kang when he later became a zombie. I doubt they stay dead, especially if they are in Quan Chi's hands. He can't help but bring people back it seems.

Spoiler:

I'm suprised Raiden, Cage and Sonya were the only good guy survivors. Like I said though I imagine in the next game, they'll at least bring back the more popular characters somehow. I just hope they find a way to bring back Kahn or use Onaga. Shinnok is a lame villain.

Spoiler:

well we did see shinnok at the end, no?

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Indeed we did. I'm just hoping they find a way to include Kahn or Onaga somehow in the next game. I allways thought Shinnok was lame especially when compared to Kahn. I mean he looks like a clown. At least Onaga looks intimidating.

Spoiler:

I hated how they changed Sub Zero to cyber-sub Zero. To me, it takes away from his "main character" feel. To me, they could have done that to scorpion since he can die and come back. That way, he could've been a cyborg, died on the game, and come back as his regular self. I just hate how so much attention is always on scorpion. For example, on the trailer with Kratos, Sub Zero beats the piss out of him and Scorpion comes back and wins with 2-3 moves. Plus when you turn the game or demo on, Scorpion uppercuts the hell out of Zero. I looked at it like "really? They couldn't let him fight back like batman did on menu screens in Mk vs. DC?"

It does seem they _____ed Sub-Zero out in this game doesn't it. I'm not sure how Cyber-Scorpion would work though design wise. Cyrax is the yellow cyborg and (of course this is just me) I think 2 yelloe cyborgs would be confusing unless Scorpion's design was drastically different. Besides all the cyborgs are Lin Kuei.

 

[Buttmunch]

They explained why it happened in the storyline. I have no problem with it. Sure its not the same character people remember, but neither was the Sub-zero in MK 2. As long as there is a blue ninja throwing ice, people will be happy to call him sub-zero. Plus I thought the cyber version was an improvement fighting wise. All of the original moves plus new ones.

 

[PapitoMX]

Yes, Sub-Zero seemed to get no love in this game. Sub-Zero (MK1/older brother) has always been my fav character in the series. Mk2 Sub was sick too. But I must say, I did enjoy the story line as well as the single player endings in this game. I feel that they put a lot more effort with the character's ending and how many of them related to each other. I felt they truly made each character unique and their own rather than just a simple color pallet swap.

This is how I feel about not being able to play MK online, my recent PS3 destruction, and videogames in general:

Lol. Seriously though I'm just miffed cause I can't downloald Kitana's classic costume and it look like PSN is down indefinately https://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/te...-down-with-no-time-frame-available-55324.html

I wonder what the chances of getting Shao Kahn as a downloadable playable character is.

 

[rome_325]

Yeah the bookends are cool. I use them as "game ends" to hold my games in place. Looks good. They are going for around $50 on ebay as well. Looks like they are pretty popular.

I think so. The bookends are decent plastic statues, the DLC items are nice, and the book has some nice art in it. For only $40 more I think its a good deal.

This game kicks ass for the short time I was able to play it. Its been so long since I played MK that I have to go through training mode to remember all the moves

I was able to score the Kollector's edition for the PS3 at Best Buy last weekend, the last one they had. I also ended up getting the standard edition for the Xbox so I can play during the weekends while visiting the little lady.... MK all day everyday....

Another side bar, what ever happened to the supposed Mortal Kombat HD Collection that was announced last year? Was it made up?

Good question! I forgot all about that. I would love to have it.
