Mortal Kombat (Reboot)

Story mode was fucking awesome! Spoiler:

I like how near the end after all the failures Liu Kang actually gave up on Raiden and his visions

I can't wait till the next MK but we got years to go!

I'm on challenge tower right now, I'm on challenge 21 but I'm taking a 45 minute break. I'll do the ladder when I reach about challenge 50 or so.

I knew you would like that LOL. The only part I actually didn't like was when Spoiler:

Sindel practically kills everyone by herself... However I loved when Nightwolf sacrifices himself to destroy Sindel. That part I was like "WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED!" because everyone was dead!!!
And then Liu Kang turning on Raiden... And him killing Liu Kang to avoid the fight Shao Kahn was epic. Keeps me wonder what will happen for the MK4 Alternate universe storyline? Since you know, Shinnok was all badass at the end.

I'm liking Mortal Kombat: Legacy, it's like watching an episode of 24.

Plus Jeri Ryan! I love my Jeri Ryan.

Wow, the IGN review of the new MK game is filled with fail, its a complete half assed review that actually makes no sense.

All the MK forums are up in arms over it, not just because it gives the game a low score, but because its really felt like the guy who played the game didnt give it much of a chance.

He did however spend time bitching about how hard the bosses were, which is redundant because the Boss battles are SUPPOSED to be hard.

Course his review really doesn't make any real sense either if you analyze it.

IGN will go ahead and give RE5 like a 9.5, when it was a turd of a game, but are giving this new MK game an 8.0, because its an MK game.

Weirdest part of his review is that he gives the games graphics like a 7.5, which anyone who has eyes can clearly see how much detail was put into everything.

Oh well, fail reviewer is fail.

8.0 a low score? And people are bitching about that? "Gamers" nowadays...

[Dracarys]

The error was paying attention to reviews in the first place. I don't think a review has ever influenced a game buying decision for me.

£30 now on amazon UK, still with pre-order bonuses.

Nice! Saving another fiver . . .

1.- ign gave re5 a 9.0.
2.- really? re5 wasnt amazing but a turd....really?...... i mean....really? 0_o?
3.- as others pointed out..dont listen to reviews.
4.- i agree spencer legacy reminded me of 24, god i miss the show.

cant wait to friday.

I'm still avoiding this over stupid DRM issues. My partner wants it though, so I guess getting it at some point, probably when it sinks below £20. Not seen MvC3 that low yet, though SFIV/SSFIV/Tekken 6 all dropped below it pretty fast.

Well, just finished the story. Pretty neat overall.

Gotta wonder how many new characters will be in the next game now that they've killed off so many familar faces. It would really be kinda dubm to bring back characters AGAIN, like Zombie Liu Kang, etc. Interesting that Scorpian and Noob Saibot survived. Wonder if Noob will take up Sub-Zero again. Boy, Liu Kang certainly can't catch a break. Dies in Deadly Alliance, only to come back as a zombie, then dies again by Raiden's hands, thinking he could save Earthrealm. But, I'm glad to see that Raiden, Johnny Cage, and Sonya survived. Wished Jax had too.

Also, any else here beat Shao Khan by constantly telelporting and sweep kicking with Raiden? That seemed like the only way to actually beat him. Cheap, but jesus christ, that version of Shao Khan's a fucking faggot.

With the story mode out the way--now that leaves online. Woo-hoo. Party time!

[Jill4EverSTARS]

Parties in this game are gonna be so awesome with King of The Hill

[nemesiswontdie]

-now that leaves online. Woo-hoo. Party time!

noob survived?

[CODE_umb87]

Been playing it for a few hours and I can say it's the best fighting game I've played in a long time. I haven't even gotten into story mode yet.....I'm having so much fun with the gameplay itself. Online is pretty impressive as well. The amount of effort put into this game is beautiful.

I thought Noob died in the soulnado... Anyway, I'm thinking that the one that could take Sub-Zero's place would be Frost, which is the next thing as a female Subby Wubby LOL. I can see Kenshi taking the lead role, there are lots of characters left from the rest of the series, Shujinko also is there... Who knows, we'll have to wait til MK10

Only thing I'm disappointed in now is that Mileenas Klassic fatality is the last fatality out there, and ya know it hasnt been found yet.

Though people seem to be having luck with Brutality hunting.
Some guys have managed to find a 4 hit combo for Cyrax while in fatality training.

Being that the fatality sequence ends when you hit the opponent, this discovery does mean something.

Here's hoping.
