Nhex, Thursday, 10 June 2010 14:15 (fifteen years ago)

I don't think I'm down with this whole 'realistic dork knight' mortal kombat. MK is all about opening up portals to other dimensions and shit. how the hell are they going to explain goro? why is scorpion speaking? why does he not have a huge flaming head on his neck? wtf is deacon city?

how did they show an entire fight with johnny cage without showing the ball punch?

Rebirth is being made into this miniseries called Legacy. Includes gunkata and Helo from BSG.

jay lenonononono (abanana), Saturday, 16 April 2011 21:46 (fifteen years ago)

just the right level of camp, imo

Nhex, Saturday, 16 April 2011 21:57 (fifteen years ago)

The new game looks like it might be fun, there's one fatality that features somebody being slow-clapped with their own severed hands

MPx4A, Sunday, 17 April 2011 20:03 (fifteen years ago)

demo was very much like playing mk2 which is good news really

o u mad cuz i'm Kgositsilin' on u (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 17 April 2011 21:25 (fifteen years ago)

yeah. this is the first time i've been stoked about anything mk related in years. hope it's worth buying used, at the very least!

Meat?

o u mad cuz i'm Kgositsilin' on u (forksclovetofu), Monday, 18 April 2011 04:43 (fifteen years ago)

I'm too layzee to start it myself but there needs to be a thread on ILG about the best/worst hidden playable video game characters

das reboot (latebloomer), Monday, 18 April 2011 04:52 (fifteen years ago)

Complete with the backwards <s>cap</s> kap!

You talking a poll or a regular thread?

Matt Groening's Cousin (Leee), Monday, 18 April 2011 04:54 (fifteen years ago)

Helo from BSG a definite improvement from the old Stryker

Nhex, Monday, 18 April 2011 04:56 (fifteen years ago)

Piece on this in today's NYT

Crazed Mister Handy (kingfish), Monday, 18 April 2011 05:49 (fifteen years ago)

Really? Where? I saw the bit on game ratings.

So I picked this up yesterday. It's a blast, especially if you liked the first two games. Going back to 2-D was a great move. Story mode is actually really entertaining (albeit hella cheesy, but it's MK so that's a given).

shamefully blowable (latebloomer), Saturday, 23 April 2011 20:32 (fifteen years ago)

the Shaolin Monks game was really good, especially if you loved MK2 like I did; just nonstop action, Die Hard Arcade style

frogbs, Monday, 25 April 2011 19:01 (fifteen years ago)

lol Johnny Cage is a reality star!

oh man, the new game is so wonderfully stupid. i'm amazed they put this much effort into such an idiotic story, and i love it.

Yeah I got the new one yesterday for cheap and it is pretty goddamn awesome

Threat Level: Panda (jjjusten), Saturday, 22 October 2011 19:14 (fourteen years ago)

yeah this was definitely one of the year's pleasant surprises

lagerfeld of modern despots (latebloomer), Sunday, 23 October 2011 03:26 (fourteen years ago)

the story mode is what my 12-year-old self really wanted out of the movie

lagerfeld of modern despots (latebloomer), Sunday, 23 October 2011 03:27 (fourteen years ago)

the movie was awesome fuiud

dayo, Sunday, 23 October 2011 03:39 (fourteen years ago)

MORTAL WOMMMMBAAAAT

loads of personality, loved to chase chickens (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 25 October 2011 03:24 (fourteen years ago)

another plus to this game is that it makes it really really obvious if you have worn contact points in your controller buttons FUCK U I PRESSED A style.

Definitely MK3. On top of having a fat cop and losing the cool ninjas in favor of dumb robots, they toned down the oriental flavor massively. The coolest thing about MK was that it was the closest to a Big Trouble in Little China fighting came you could get. MK3 just had no style.

The background were sometimes cool though. I think Ultimate MK3 was a step back in the right direction. But yeah, the cop thing really seals the deal.

Also, those fatalities, you can tell they really just didn't give a shit in MK3, reusing the same explosions-of-blood and exploding-guts animations over and over again.

Drake's new album Scorpion just makes me think of this and for that alone I am thankful
