Fighting games suck. I bought a Snes a while back and tried playing Mortal Kombat and was bored out of my brain. Can't please everyone I spose!

[-HP-]

Can it be that they nailed it this time?

PogoP, WAT!

I played the shit outta every single MK released until MK Trilogy! (Best one of them all, and it was released for PSX, oh god! good old times, i knew every single fucking fatality!)

Looks really good, back to the basics finally. I hoep there will be an iphone version.

[PogoP]

I can see the appeal if, say, you played it with friends... But even then, me and my housemates sat down and played it on the Snes a few weeks back and we turned it off after 15 mins!

I would change what I said to 'Mortal Kombat sucks', but I tried Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe too, as well as some others and hated them!

Is this a full game or something for XBL and PSN?

Mortal Kombat has always been more of a cheesy gore simulator than a fighting game.

It was awesome when you were 12. Heads comin' off.

Though the SNES version was a rather bad port and had the blood cut out (IIRC)!

[Mazy]

Looks decent, and I really used to dig MK back in the day. Played a shit ton of MK2 and MK3, great games, even in single-player. But really, if I wanna play a fighting game these days I'll go with Soul Calibur 3 any day (Screw 4, they fucked up my Seong Mi-na!)

7 sequels later, could they finally be approaching the greatness that was Mortal Kombat 2 again?

took the words right out of my mouth

I doubt anything will be taking away from my SSF4 time for more than a half hour though.

It's a scary thought that this'll probably have more depth and speed than SSFIV. To be honest, the only fighter I want to see is Guilty Gear XX AC released with online play. It remains the deepest, most varied and balanced fighter out there by a long, long way and it’s a crying shame nobody the mainstream has even heard of it.

[MJ]

yes no more shitty 3d MK's

this one might actually turn out good

[D3ads]

This actually does look rather good.. but needs more blood.

you get burned ?

guilty gear is pretty good, I liked the art more than the game though. Same deal with BlazBlu

What does this even mean?

I think I phrased that badly, there's nothing wrong with having a small rule set, slower pace, and a reward for being hit in the face. It's a personal preference only.

I hyped up BlazBlue and walked away disappointed, but I’m not going to go into detail here. Guilty Gear’s gameplay has a changed a lot over its iterations but it’s only become more uncompromising. But that’s why it’s awesome, well, along with the character-designs and crazy metal.
