It's pretty sweet. By buddy got it at midnight and we just got done playing for the last 3 hours. Most characters are pretty to use. Kratos is a beast once you get the hang of him.

looks really good and getting nice reviews. I'm just not into fighting games any more. I prefer FPS and RPGS

I've always liked the story. Read some reviews and people are saying story mode is beast. Heard you get a $15 gift card if you buy it at toys r us.

Wonder if Noob Saibot turns good? He's the original Sub Zero and was on his way to redeeming himself but died before he could, and ended up evil as Noob Saibot. Sub zero from mk2 onwards is his younger brother.

I thought about grabbing it today... but I'm really really bad at fighting games and my boy doesn't seem interested in it. I'll maybe jump on board but probably not for a few months until the price drops

Who are the final playable list?

Did they infact name "Skarlet" Skarlet?

Who are the DLC charactors?

From what I saw the final characters were pretty much as allready listed. I think some (like, Skarlet Cyber Sub-Zero and Quan-Chi etc) have to be unlocked but we really didn't spend much time on that. We basically spent all night kicking each other's ass in 2-player.

I do. I was hoping they reused the old commercial with new game footage and was sorta bummed it didn't come out on a monday (well for people that got it at midnight it sorta did). :)

Anyway as a fan of mk3, I think this game absolutely rocks. Had a friend over and we were doing 2player online tagteam, holy crap so much fun.

Yep... and MK3 Coming out and getting the Preorder T-Shirt with the code on it.

This is the best Mortal Kombat title in the last decade. Got a great Classic MK feel to it down to the retelling of the story of the first three titles that actually does a good job of clearing up the fuzzier details that overlap from title to title. And the book ends from the Kollector's Edition are awesome. Make a great display for my small PS3 collection.
Decent roster, good game play, fluid movement and some impressive graphics.
Not a perfect game though. I actually think Scorpion and Sub-Zero played better in MK vs DC than this game. But at least it's not nearly as combo heavy as Deadly Alliance or Deception. And no more free range arenas, back to good old 2D fighting.

Vulcan Raven
04-23-2011, 01:48 AM
I plan on getting it in the next few days when I have a few mins to spare and go get it. It won't be on Mortal Monday tho...

This.

Well, I do still play SF games and I am looking forward to SF vs Tekken. Mostly though, I get my @$$ handed to me now online with those games so I don't play them near as much anymore. I tried out the demo but I wasn't doing so hot. So, eff it.

So, it would seem that Shang Tsung has the Joker's lost fatality in this game. I just saw him turn into a clown with a similar outfit to the Joker's [in red], draw a gun that shot a "Bang" flag, pull a second and pop my niece's character through the face... He then danced around laughing like the Joker from MK vs DC.

ShadowNinja
04-24-2011, 01:24 AM
The story looks awesome. Raiden sending a message back in time to him in mk 1...yada yada. Whats the deal with Cyber Sub-Zero? They kill him off in this one? Hes my fav character and always thought how it was cool he won in one of the games and got the dragon medallion,etc. Hope they didnt jump on the fanboy wagon and make scorpion get him. If you answer this please send in PM for you dont tell anyone the story if no one wants to know. Everyone makes a big deal about spoilers but I personally dont care. Thanks.

Don't read if you don't want to know: History changed and Sub-Zero II was taken by the Lin Kuei instead of Smoke.

Holy cow! I love this game! Even though my boy wasn't really into it I picked it up for him for Easter (yeah, nothing says Easter like Mortal Kombat in your Easter basket) I wasn't expecting much but this game is great. the story mode makes it stand out from other fighters where it's just "next challenger" this one makes you want to keep on fighting and seeing what happens next. And the 'test Your Luck' mode has kept my boy and I playing all day. Headless and armless combat with magnetic floors and 'sleep' attack... I'm dying... this is awesome!

Finishing in totem mode seems to offer decent endings for each of the characters as well. My niece finished the game with Ermac, his is pretty cool.

I picked this game up on the release day...got home and wasn't feeling so good but played a little bit and was pretty dissapointed.

The next day after work I figured id give it another go since the night before I was just too tired.

Well I was right this game is that shit. I've only been playing the story mode but am completely hooked.

The only thing I don't like is, maybe it's just me, but it feels a little slow sometimes during a fight. But other than that...loving the story.

A good reboot to the series.

Hicks_Royel
04-26-2011, 03:29 AM
It's no slower than any of the other MK titles. At least it's not nearly as combo driven.

If you answer this please send in PM for you dont tell anyone the story if no one wants to know. Everyone makes a big deal about spoilers but I personally dont care. Thanks.

SPOILER:

Bi Han is the 1st Sub Zero, and is killed by Scorpion. Kuai Liang is his younger brother, code name Tundra, and takes on the code name Sub Zero to honor Bi Han. He enters the 2nd Mortal Kombat tournament to hunt down Bi Han's killer(Bi Han is later reborn as Noob Saibot).

When the Lin Kuei automation is to proceed, Raiden intervenes and Smoke is rescued, whereas Sub Zero is captured instead, for automation. Sub Zero returns as Cyber Sub Zero, regains his memories, and joins the fight with Earthrealm.

The 1st Sub Zero dying was told in the 2nd game once you beat the game using Sub Zero, who is revealed to be the younger brother of the original Sub Zero

I absolutely love this game.. I haven't stopped playing it since I got it at midnight on the release. I love the story mode.. glad they brought back the test your **** stuff. Glad to see that everyone is pretty much in attendance.. minus Motaro.. which is fine and gets explained later.. and Rain.. which i liked playing.

Kabal has a neat new story line as well.

Also glad you can now choose the human alts of Cyrax and Sector.

Hicks_Royel
04-27-2011, 05:05 AM
Yeah, Kabal's backstory was a lot better than, "Well, here's a new character." Like in MK 3.

Motaro I can live without, I was glad to Kintaro return.
Though the Shokan haven't been much of a fight thus far.

Indeed. Sucks Kahn, Goro and Kintaro wern't part of the game in the first place. Though I must say is it just me or am I the only one a little dissapointed in Kahn's final look? His helmet looks like a cornrow. I liked how he looked in the first trailer alot better. And no prob on the kodes.

I got to say this is one of the best MK games released yet, the story mode was awsome, I could totally see that as a live action flick, or animated one.

The game is overall alot of fun, I love the challenge tower.

My only wish is that the PSN was up and running so I could kick some online butt!!!

Yeah? Hmm... I can't get past the Liu Kang/Sheeva 8 hit combo challenge. I'm no good at stringing hits together.

Did like playing as Goro at the 150 mark though.

Edit: And now I know that an enhanced bicycle kick will end my woes.

Lol I beat that challenge the same way. Enhanced bicycle kick ftw.

251 sucks. You play as Shang Tsung against Baraka, Sindel and Shao Kahn. The first 2 aren't hard but Shang sucks against Kahn. His attack are slow and do only minimal damage and Kahn just spams you with attacks, and it seemed 8/10 times, if you land an attack that could do decent damage, it bounced off him. The only reason I beat the challenge was cause I got luckey.

There's also a challenge where you play as Stryker against 3 Shao Kahns though after you beat 251, that challenge will be easy as pie in comparison.

That's the challenge I'm stuck at, three Shao Kahns is insane!

TheSerpentKing
05-09-2011, 12:27 AM
Really? I found 251 much harder. On the one with 3 Kahns, I just kept my distance and kept shooting him and jumped over his hammer if he threw it at me and if he got too close, used the baton sweep. Not to mention, Shao Kahn just seemed dumbed down compaired to challenge 251.

Vulcan Raven
05-09-2011, 12:31 AM
My strategy is a similar one, he doesn't seem to like grenades.

I don't see this challenge holding me back for much longer.

TheSerpentKing
05-09-2011, 12:39 AM
Oh and I forgot to mention, if he throws his hammer at you, after you jump over it, either block or do a baton sweep since 9/10 times it seemed Kahn went for either a shoulder rush or spear attack.

Vulcan Raven
05-09-2011, 12:43 AM
LOL yeah I noticed that, my favorite is when he throws multiple hammers.

So far I'm at one and a half Shao Kahns defeated.

Hicks_Royel
05-13-2011, 09:03 PM
I've found that teleporting behind Kahn is the best way to beat him. Especially with Raiden [and then uppercut] and Scorpion.

I'll have wait till I get to 251 to see about Shang Tsung's issues. Man that Sheeva, Goro. Kintaro group kicked my ass. That, and the Sub-Zero Special moves challenge against Sindel who never jumped into my ice clones. Stupid bitch...

Hicks_Royel
05-14-2011, 08:33 PM
Alright, I didn't have a whole lot of issues with the 3 Shao Kahns... After all, Stryker's one redeeming quality is that he's fast with that gun. But Ermac versus three Goros sucks ass... I can't even knock the first one out.

Vulcan Raven

You may have allready passed it but if not here's what I did. I used Scorpion and just spammed the hell out of his teleport punch move and if my opponent was far away and I felt he would block the teleport, I did the Hellfire summons. I also went back replayed challenge 300 with Kitana and had no real problem. I tossa a few fans at the opponent and when they get too close, use her Square Boost attack to fly over them and continue to spam them with her fan toss.

I just watched all the Babalities on youtube... so much better than the old MKII gimmick. The one I saw for Goro is pretty good...

I also watched the endings for most of the characters, Shang Tsung's is interesting.

I can't wait for Skarlet to be released next Tuesday. She looks like a freakin' beast.

Ah, DLC... my old nemesis. Be this the game that finally gets me to look into faster internet connections and a PS3 account?

Just a heads up-

Bought Mortal Kombat at TRU last night. They had a 2 for 50 sale. Grabbed MK and LA Noire. Awesome deal.

Here's some pics of the Klassic Noob and Smoke skins for the next DLC character. I love that they went with their MK2 outfits.

Also been playing Skarlet for a bit. Really fun character. Her fatalities are sick and she's pretty fast. Sadly she has no spot in Necropolis nor an alternate costume but hopefully that will get resolved.

That is the easiest one to get (I mean the fight, not the win, ha)

Anyways, not really that impressed about Skarlet...she isn't horrible but she isn't WOW, HOW AMAZING like a lot of people in the MK community are making her out to be....

There is certain curse to the solitude I seek. The biggest portion being that I am often outside the range of cell towers and broadband internet is something akin to the cyclops and mermaids.

Pizzas don't even get delivered to my house.

Someday, perhaps, I will download that which is offered. Like the Joker levels of the Batman game.

I am glad they are putting out classic characters as well as new ones for the DLC.. I love this version of the game. So far I have no complaints.

I like the re due of the story line.
human versions of the cyborgs are a great addition to the story.
cyber sub zero is not that bad also.

Skarlett is worth the down load to play her.


only draw back is Kratos does not do any trash talking

I have to personally disagree about Skarlet being worth it. I didn't find her to be THAT great.

Rain, on the other hand...let's just say Ed Boon must have gotten my thong in the mail =)

Skarlet was a dis-appointment. Kenshi is awesome. But so far, I think Cyber-Subzero is the best character in the game. The promo trailer for Rain looks awesome, but I might pass on that one since I am not a big fan of Rain.

I really didn't like it for the simple fact that they left out a few characters which they now have up for DLC. Plus they went back in time on it. Kinda confused the heck outta me. its like they re did the movies or something and put it into a game.

Freddy is the 4th DLC character for Mortal Kombat. I was never a Freddy fan and personally I think this is lame. I wished they would have brought back another MK Character. Personally, I liked Bo Rai Cho or another female character.

It was more of a "Look up" for the other quoted comment. I think yours was checked by mistake and I was too lazy to change it.

As for Krueger, it's really no different than Kratos.

I've played a few times.. not a lot of people really. There was when it first hit, but not so many now. Too many people rather play COD or Battlefield online I suppose. I like all online games... so I would be up for a few online challenges.
