Damn, many of you are elitists who believe if you can’t red pary, kara throw, wave dash or link a strong to a fierce while buffering a Shin Shoryuken, then a fighting game is utter crap. I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion but I have read the entire thread and found that only a few of you know what you are talking about when it comes to the 3D MK’s.
Deception is by far the best in terms of playabililty and the worst in terms of balance. What I mean is this, every character in MKD played differently from one another unlike the 2D MK’s. When played at a high level, the game is a blast to play. Yes, it is missing some very important play mechanics like **wake ups **and **throw escapes **but it is a far cry from what you guys are describing. It does have some rather stupid easy infinites but then again, some games do. Still no excuse though.
The new vids that I’ve seen on Mortal Kombat Armageddon show a very promissing game. The new parry feature looks like it’ll add some more depth and the air combos look better than I was expecting them to be. The characters will now have one hand style and one weapon style instead of 2 hand styles and one weapon style. This is a plus as it ofers the MK team to expand upon the attacks for each style. The animation looks smoother, the graphics look sharper and it looks like the charactes have a dash move. The interview I read stated that the team is doing extensive testing on each charater against each other to be sure that they are balanced and fun to play as.
I enjoy a wide range of fighters and I believe this game will be the best MK to date. For those of you who have blabbered on and on about how the previous MK’s “sucked hard” It’s obvious that either you haven’t really played it at a high level or you haven’t played it at all.
What does that mean to you?? Because from the past, the testing is just adding more graphics, and just making sure things “work”. For instance, I saw the parry in the videos, and it looks retarded. You parry the person and they just sit there for like a second or two like they are posing for a picture. The air combos?? So they want to make the game appealing to the classic MK players?? They have now and until the fall, so anything can be added and taken away.

WTF is MKD high level play?? Xbox live?? A couple of friends down the college hallway to play everyday?? What major tournaments is MKD being held a at?? What tourneys have you been to witness MKD “high level play”? Don’t disrespect the people here who have played this game and voiced their opinions.:wasted:

I haven’t disrespected anyone, I guess except you and for that I apologize. It was not my intent on upsetting any members here. I worked at Family Funtime Arcade years ago where many 3rd Strike tournaments have taken place. The best players in the world go there to participate. I visit the arcade from time to time to see old friends that would play in the tournaments. I have played against these same players in 3rd Strike and learned a thing or two from them. This guy named Frank is a cool cat who plays 3rd Strike at high level, he usually participates in these tournaments. I just wanted to let you know that I’m not a noob when it comes to tournamet worthy fighters like everyone assumes MK fans are.
Now to answer your questions:
Extensive testing means gathering the top players of said game to play the hell out of the new version in an attempt to try and “break” the game. Documenting on how easy/fun the game/character is and making suggestions for balance. This is what they are doing now. The MK Team has read plenty of posts from mortalkombatonline.com and believe me I have been voicing my opinion on what the new game needs.
High level gameplay has been achieved on Xbox Live and PS2 online with MKD. There are no tournaments outside of these online services. I am one of the better players of this game and I am well known in the MKO community for my Mileena. Just because Your Majesty has not heard of such tournaments does not mean they have not happened. The fighting game hardcore community has shunned MK long ago and I don’t expect them to embrace it again due to the stigma that has been attached to it. Just because the game is not featured at Evo doesn’t make it any less fun to play.
So now I will voice my opinion:
Life for me goes beyond boasting about fighting games that I like are played in tournaments or that I participate in them. My career as an Instructional Design Specialist ensures that I cannot be made to feel inferior by someone who thinks they have to prove to me that they are somehow “above” me because a videogame that I like is not tournament worthy. Take it easy and don’t take things people say to the heart.
How the fuck are you going to come in here and boast about how MKD is the best of the worst?! Get the fuck out with that shit.
Nothing about this game looks better. He’s just plunking down new shit on top of old shit and fucking clowns will eat that shit up cause thye are fucking DUMB.
MK is shit. This new MK is shit even before it hits shelves.
Gayass parry and air combat that looks gay as fuck. Easier inifinites anyone?
Regardless of how shitty it is I’m still getting it. I had a lot of fun finding out all the broken shit in mkd and having people scream at me online for putting them in infinites or other funny shit on xbox live. I don’t play it anymore but it was fun while it lasted. I plan on doing the same with mka. Unlocking all the shit is always fun too.
You two are some rude mutha- @@##'s. You are provng my point in my original post. It’s ok for you voice you goldly elitist opinion but when someone thinks differently than yourselves, your world comes crashing down on you. You buck up like 17 year old shcool girls who just found out that another chick is wearing your outfit. Sadly, I wasn’t expecting this from you Colguile. I’ve seen many of your posts and I had a sort of respect for you as a person but you child-like behavior has caused me to change my opinion of you. Is it so wrong to like something that others do not? No, it isn’t. The fact that I liked the game and decided to share my point of view on it did not hurt you in any way…well I guess it did judging by your post.
Maybe someday when you’re a little older you willl look back on how meaningless your ideals were about a videogame. This videogame is not ever going to support your life or get you that big house way up in the West Hills lol. Did I mention that it is a Videogame?
Lantis,
Maybe you’re right, maybe I should have stopped talking right there. Or maybe you felt the need for good old Death to tell you a little bedtime story too. I have seen your type many times before when I worked at Family Funtime. The kid who comes in and thinks he’s a videogame superstar because he can out perform multiple opponents in a videogame. The type of guy who really doesn’t see the need to keep his body in shape yet pushes his wrists and thumbs to the absolute limits of human capacity. The type of guy who leers at the other guys girlfriends only to go home alone and fire up the the good old VCR which unlike its **human female **counterparts, has never turned you down for sex.
Now, I believe it is you who should have stopped talking “right there”.
This conversation is over, any attempt by either of you to respond is a victory for me. So dont bother, I won’t care as you have already proven your inability to carry on an adult conversation.
The MK franchise is a gimmick and the ONLY reason it’s still selling is because of their zombified fanbase that’s caught up on nostalgia, kinda like Motley Crue greatest hits albums that come out every 2 years. Unbelieveable spewing low-res blood(isnt the blood even CHUNKY in the past two Mk games?) and fatalities arent going to cut it anymore. The gaming public isnt going to fall for some cheap tricks and one trick ponys to sucker you into buying a game. It just wont work.
If your goal is to make people on SRK, people who truly RESPECT and play REAL, HONEST, LEGIT fighting games then you can stop wasting your time and keep the staff from going through the trouble to ban your ass. Because frankly, nobody wants to hear that shit.
Go to MK5.org and talk to those idiots over there about “high-level” playstyles and the amazing MK whatever (honestly I lost count… what is it 6. . 7?) is gonna be.
If you posted on here or on MKO before MKDA even came out you’d be like me and the rest of the people who actually TRIED to get a better MK game out. YOU may be content finding out how broken this game is and fucking up scrubs on XBL but for me and the rest of the compotent thinkers/players who at one point loved MK, so much so that we actually went to the lenghts of posting up detailed facts, analysis, and educational post on MKO for over a fucking year for that faggot boon and company to see… A FUCKING YEAR.
lol there are still some going at it like TTT. I saw a post from menthol yesterday. They haven’t given up. Maybe they still like the car wreck that is MK.
Try it. Try and present FACTS for over a year as to why a game SUCKS to a board and the creators of the game and have them step over your FACTS and instead of getting throw escapes, wake up game, and more attention put towards balance and fluidity in the fighting engine you get…puzzle and chess kombat…yes. Puzzle and chess kombat.
Now go check the MKA board on there and tell me what you see. Tell me if any fruit was born from those who tried so damn hard to plant a seed.
MK fans today are hacks. Just like boon. I want all of you to check out his interview with bishop on MKO. Boon doesn’t even know WTF wake up game is and yet he’s going to full out bash realistic, functional components and engines in other fighters?! WTF?
You’re going to defend this creaton ED BOON? His shitty game? lol it meakes me laugh when i see cats say they are going to actually pay money for bad game.
Face it.
This game sucks. Boon SUCKS. ALL MK GAMES barring 2 and UMK3/MK3 SUCK. And if anyone, ANYONE thinks that this MK game is going to be better with AIR COMBAT and a retarded parry/breaker then I laugh at you.
Where are these “scans” you speak of? I’ve always been a fan of MK, so I have to disagree with you that this game will suck. To put it simply, to each it’s own!

I’ve been out of the loop for awhile, so this shit is new to me. I just saw the pic GS put up of all the characters’ art/render. On paper it sounds dumb. As such, it probably will be.
Unless there are tagteam elements (did I miss this info?)… it’s probably going to be boring. And Boon probably didn’t add a story… which would be logical. It’d actually be dumb to have so many dead people come back with an explanation… even dumber to sit through a story mode 60 times to see endings. I guess he just wants a slugfest. And gameplay wise… forget it. I’d rather play chess.
skimmed through that interview, just like all the other interviews mko did with the mk team – an ass kissing session with ed boon…on the bright side though, at least ed boon is incorporating ideas that done by capcom years ago into his game now; up until now, i could swear the guys has never played or even looked at other fighting games…
