It's the same with MK games, except the logo's and team name's are gore and fatalities.
I used to enjoy MK2 on the SNES back when I knew no better, now I find the gameplay to be very tedious.
That being said, it does have it's good points.
1. I love the guy who appears on screen and says "Toasty!" when you uppercut someone.
2. I love the "MORTAL KOMBAT" followed by the theme tune.
3. The movies, although very badly scripted, acted and directed just as Cloud No. 9 has said, were still VERY enjoyable to me. The first one especially.
EDIT Oh, and I loved MK Conquest.
i too am curious of why joel hates mk. the street fighters don't have much of a storyline either so that most not be it. and the movie (the van dam movie, that is) sucked too (plus the anime movie was not too awesome, either). i like mk. not as much as sreet fighter MXXIVetcetc but i like it.
I always thought it was "Whoopsie!"Quote:

That's not the theme song. That was a weird little musical excursion outsourced to a couple dance music producers who were gaining notoriety at the time. On another note, it's a COMPLETE rip-off of Twilight Zone by 2 Unlimited.Quote:

Well I love it all the same.
Something tells me you haven't read any of the "All About Capcom" books, or even the SF plot guide... I think you should give the SF canon another chance.Quote:

5. Not enough variety in characters (at least not until MK4)
Oddly enough, I only like the 3D MK games, since the characters don't all have the same moves and blocking is more responsive, on top of the story not being as crappy as the other MKs O_o
On that note, I saw MK: Annihilation the other day and I liked it, but some of the action reminded me of Power Rangers >_>
The first one was pretty good for its time. All the others aren't worth 2 seconds. It's one of those games that play on OMFG DOOD I BIRNT HIS HED!!! When compared to real fighting games like Tekken and Virtua Fighter, it is complete [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]. I wanted to use a better word, but this one was too perfect in describing this series.
i loved the first one, especcialy the cliff hanger at the end.
i loved the second one even more, kitana's blade fans are awesome.
i love the games to, especially the sequal to dark alliance.
hahahaha....cliff hanger!!! I GET IT!!!!....HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA.
i like mortal kombat. i got deception for christmas and i still find it so much fun if you have a group of friend over your house and you want a bash at something. unfortunately i havn't go the internet cable and i can't play it online which is a shame because it seems like fun. also, one of the best things about mk is the combo's. not only do they supply you with a large number of combo's pre-set onto 3 different fighting styles but if you work at it you can make your own set of 25 hit wonders. I can see where people are coming from and i know that it's not everyones game but it is not terrible. I've also noted that people who like sf usually don't like mk.
Peace out and :rock:
EE
I didn't really enjoy the old ones--they just felt too slow to me--but I thought a few of the newer ones were mildly entertaining. I'd never buy one, but they were fun to play occassionally with friends. I always thought Sub Zero was pretty cool. As for the movies, though...eh, I thought they were pretty bad. After reading this thread, I think I can just barely remember the TV series. I must have seen it once or twice. :p
i just didnt like them because as far as fighting games go, they werent really that fun. they were pretty cool at first when i was little and all the blood factor, but after I grew out of that, I dug through the mountanous layers of gore and found that the fighting just isnt that much fun. and the characters are pretty damn unintresting too. street fighter is definately the best fighting series, in my opinion.
by the way, is it dark or deadly... i dont remember.
i like the mk movies, games and cartoon.
