So, does anybody like Mortal Kombat?

[SheDevil1]

I just beat the living hell out of the new one (Mortal Kombat Deception) and unlocked everyone, just in case anyone is interested...lol how cool am I 😉

 

[Kalamos]

Not me. Not my thing really.

I prefer the Total War series.
Why am I telling? Hey, blue ribbon everybody! 😉

[Anyway, my fav fighting game used to be Palace's Barbarian from Amiga/C64. Even got past Drax... 😀 ]

 

[His Divine Shadow]

Eh, some of the older games are quite nice. The more recent renditions haven't quite come up to the level of the originals.

 

[alf1]

ahhh Diablo..........more my kind of thing 🙂 so many possibilities
and so many weaponery yay 😉

 

[SheDevil1]

Bleh. Mortal Kombat is where it's at!!!!

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

the Hollywood brother used to play mortal kombat all the time but the only thing the hollywood brother did not like was it breaks gamepads with the rapid button fire

 

[BigNorm]

omg... my roots are nintendo, i LIVE video games, and mortal combat is an epic. i soooo gotta geet the new one, i didn't know it was out yet. since i'm saving up for Tribes: Vengeance (an awesome first person multi-player shooter) and working on beating Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, i couldn't check it out. is it worth the money?

i LOOOVED Mortal Kombat 4, i forgot the character's name, but had the best fatality ever: he would rip the apponent's leg off and beat him with it. talk about bad *ss.

I'm planning to buy MK : Deception real soon.

 

[nessonite1]

Mortal Kombat has kicked ass since it's first incarnation. I had it for the SNES and even playing it now on an emulator it doesn't get old. Even for being a 16 bit game it kicked the ass of all other fighting games even when you don't count the fact that it had gratuitous blood and fatalities.
Sadly I am AWFUL at remembering tricky button combos so I'm not terribly GOOD at it...but I enjoy doing what I can with it.

Did anyone play a game for PS1 called Battle Arena Toshinden? It's the only fighting game I've ever beaten and it was really awesome. Were there any sequels to it?

 

[BigNorm]

great for you, ness, think you can post or send me your ROMS? i have such a hard time finding them with all the pop ups and such, freezes my comp.

 

[MayDay1]

I'm a Street Fighter guy first and formost, but I remember when MK came out and it was a big deal simply because of the gore. The only thing I can remember learning in high school were fatalities and finding Smoke. Unfortunatly the game was very one dimensional (all the characters fought the same) and the creators ran out of steam after 2. Remember alla the ninjas? Quick! Name every ninja in the MK series, including the women.
Go!

 

[BigNorm]

Jade, Smoke, Cyrix, Noob Saibot, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, *lapses into a deep brain freeze* bah..... Reptile, Shoa Tsung, Lou Kang, *more brain freeze* ok, that's it for now.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

I'm also a loyal Street Fighter fan, always have been. The characters just seem more real and fleshed out than anything in the Mortal Kombat series. Maybe thats because SF is also story-driven. I know that MK is too, but it seems more about the fighting in my opinion, which is fine.

Mortal Kombat sure has brought some great things to the gaming table though. I haven't played any of the newer or recent ones though I know a bit about them. The last time I played Mortal Kombat was when I was...what....damn I can't even remember....I want to say maybe 11, and I'm 22 now, so you do the math. LOL

If it came out before I was 11, then its been even longer since I've played it.

 

[nessonite1]

I remember playing Street Fighter in the arcade alot and I had it for, I believe, SNES. Never played any but the first version thgouh so I can't comment on it really. I think the first MK was better than the first Street Fighter though...
What ROMS do you require, normie? I've found Kazaa to be an excellent source for them and I've only gotten one or two from websites.
Here is Mortal Kombat...

 

[SheDevil1]

Wow I didn't think this thread would last so long and get the 'higher ups' posting...yay for me lol. To answer people's questions, yeah the new MK is worth it. It's basically like, if you took Deadly Alliance, souped it up, and switched around some of the characters. The play style is still the same, except for a few things: There are now combo breakers, and as to not abuse that, you only get 3 a round. It's terrible easy to pull off, that's why....now there's stage fatalities. They now have 'self-fatalities' called 'Hara-Kiri'. Basically when your guy is in "FINISH HIM!" you do a certain button input like a fatality, and your own guy suicides. Pretty cool. They brought back some old characters, brought one back from the dead, added some new, and Ed Boon, the creator, is back to his 'old tricks'. If anyone remembers the older ones, all the secret stuff from MK1 used to be super-hard to find, like fighting Reptile. Basically, you only start out with 12 characters, but there are 12 spots in the roster that are blacked out. Those are the only unlockables anybody knows about so far....Supposedly, Ed Boon said that there are 'nearly unlimited unlockables'....so we'll see. But so far, I think this game is worth it.

 

[cosquillero1]

Mortal Kombat were an of those first games in use a good technology for 3D graphics effects (in its moment), besides used that fatality ends, really impressive, they (the programers) used a good motion capture for to get real martial artists playing his/her moves, than in that moment was really new and great. I'm a fan of that cool game.

 

[SheDevil1]

Oh, and by the way, not to knock you Nessonite, but Kazaa is a poor source for ROMs....I don't trust Kazaa at all. But, I guess that's just me...Kazaa has proven itself to be very untrustworthy in the past. If anybody wishes, I can share my HUGE rom archive with anybody. Believe me, it's huge 😉

 

[BigNorm]

ooh kazaa? thanks for the tip and the roms, ness.

Downloading is bad, mkay? 😀

I just picked up the collectors edition of MK: D last night. Came home wanting to play it (1st console game i've bought in a year) only to realize a few months ago my sister GAVE my PS2 to a neighbor, and I gotta get that back.

The mode that sold me was the mode VERRRY similar to an old-school game known as Archon, the Chess mode. Archon was the single greatest NES game ever made.

 

[SheDevil1]

Downloading is good, mkay? 😀
If you ever need any help with MK: D, just ask me......Gamefaqs is lame, and jumbled, full of bullshit. I know all the right stuff!

 

[MayDay1]

Mr. Mackey impersonations went out of style five years ago, mkay?

 

[SheDevil1]

Let me tell you something about Mr. Mackey impersonations. Mr. Mackey impersonations is bad....... mkay?

 

[GuldenVleugel]

I'm more into Real Time Strategy games like Age of Empires I and II and Age of Mythology and the Titans Expansion of AoM. Used to love MK, but I was still a minor back then. 😉

 

[SheDevil1]

i used to like RTS games actually. I know, I'm a big dork, but who cares. I didn't really care for Warcraft 3, because I like games that aren't complex. Well what I mean is, I like games that I can play while intoxicated lol..ironically, all those 'long combos' in mortal kombat are easy for me to pull off, because you don't have to like wait until each hit connects, you just push the sequence in, and he'll do it correctly. The combo system in this game was very well designed 🙂

 

[Ghost_Host_9991]

ok, just a few quickies here.

The character that pulled your leg off and beat yer ass with it was Quan Chi.

The ninja list was almost complete but you guys forgot Chameleon.

THe sick thing about MK now is that everyone has different fighting styles that you can choose from. And think of it this way...Deadly Alliance had beau coup unlockables, from the very cool (Frost rocked)...to the very funny...(Cooking with Scorpion)...so if they've gone up from there, this one should certainly be worth a mere $44.99.
