Haters gonna hate, but that's the way it was in the 2000's.


What? There were plenty of games that weren't on the PC that were popular. Piracy is not typically how most games get popular. Especially not fighting game installments within a well-known franchise.

MK 5-8 aren't well known because:

1: They weren't numbered.

2: They sucked. People don't tend to remember crap. Not unless it's truly awful crap.
So you know, cats are interesting. They are kind of like girls. If they come up and talk to you, it's great. But if you try to talk to them, it doesn't always go so well. - Shigeru Miyamoto

Pre-ordered mine from Amazon for the Reptile costume. I've never liked how they made the character an actual lizard. Don't really know why.

I have a few things to say about the game. I thought it was ass when I played the demo. However coming off that I find this game easier to play than SSF4 while still maintaining an edge for the hardcore.(That is, its not a scrub button mashers game i.e. tekken 6, mvc3) Now my friend thinks scorpion's hellfire move is broken. It tracks, full screen move, and relatively quick recovery. I don't see it as that useful, any one else care to share their thoughts? Scorpion is quick enough to do long extended teleport combos but all his specials leave him vulnerable. Subzero is slow as shit but a simple 4 hit combo will drain 23% of your life. I can do 42% with scorpion and sub, scorpions being longer of course. Johnny is a total rushdown kharacter. He's horrible against subzero so far, but when he gets in on you he's a monster, especially in the corner. His xray is the most damaging of the four kharacters in the demo. Its also a counter vs. throws, hits, and point blank projectiles. Mileena has very fast recovery on most of her moves. She's very hard to hit and can do some pretty nasty combos.
Now about the preorders: I'm pretty sure no matter where you get the game you'll eventually get the klassic kostumes for all the ninjas. The krypt will have a lot of stuff in it. I pre-ordered from gamestop so I'll get scorpion's first.
I don't know if any of you has seen but there is a video of someone who had the leaked full version of the game and shows the full roster. Sheeva will be playable, and human smoke and cyborg subzero will be in the game. (The retelling changes events, such as smoke escaping and subzero getting turned into a cyborg instead of the original story). Goro and shau khan will not be playable.
In any event, I tell any who are on the fence to give the game a shot. The kombos are simple, but the fun kicks in when you figure out you can link different combos and kreate setups against your opponent to really devastate them. The 2v2 feature will also be available for 4 different people. 1 person per kharacter in a single fight. My friend and I will be going into the lab to dominate on psn.(providing we get psn back soon, sony got hacked this past week, but thats another story). Anyway this game is going to be great, its not as unforgiving as street fighter but its still not for everyone.

I'm just wondering if this game isn't too gory for it to be competitive play or is there a mode to make it more appealing to younger audience? Or is that just me worrying about silly things. I like gore!

I completely agree with your assessment of the demo characters and I can't wait to go pick up my copy

I have to laugh at you when you say mvc3 is a button masher game, though. Maybe at the scrub level, but all fighting games are button mashers when you suck lol.

6-7 hours of gameplay on at least 720p (maybe 1080p) @ 60fps. Enjoy

MK2(it was on SNES and yes there was blood and gore) was the first ever fighting game I played and gosh darnit I loved it. MK series was gold all the way into the 4th release(not meaning MK4). Ive shyed away from the series after they went 3D but I'm so hopefull of the new release. I've got 15h of game time down on the demo alone with my friends. So ye already preordered and getting it next wednesday(20th).
