mortal kombat haters.

EVerybody here said all of the stuff I could have ever said. I just have a genorus disliking towards sucky games.

Something tells me you haven't read any of the "All About Capcom" books, or even the SF plot guide...

All about Capcom? BOOKS?????? man, that is the nerdest coment i have ever read. and Sf actually have a plot?

"this guy is helding a tournement. im in search of the perfect fight. i'll join." thats about it for ryu.

"this guy is helding a tournement. maybe my buddy ryu will join. i'll join." ken.

"guy who i hate holding a tournement. i'll join to kill him." chun-li.

i don't see too much dept in that. the game is awesome but don't tell me that any fighting game has a deep plot because they don't. tekken is the only fighting game that i know of that takes the plot the furdest and its not that deep either.

Capcom spent time on the gameplay BEFORE they started on the story, instead of vice-versa like Midway did with MK. That's why most of the SF story you have to get in book form. The story is not as simple as it has been conveyed in the games.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Where can I buy these SF books at?

[Polnareff]

You have to import most of them from Japan, but IIRC, Udon Comics just released one of them in the US, so you can buy it at your local comic store.

Mortal Kombat isn't bad. Anyone who considers themselves a fighting game fanatic would simply fall in love with the huge amounts of blood. Someone said that MK had a cliched storyline...What fighting game doesn't? It's always a tournament, a bid to save the world or something like that.

The gameplay reminds me of Super Smash Bros though, in that everyone has the same basic moves + a couple of unique ones. It's simplistic in the way it's presented and the way it plays but that's not necessarily a bad thing, after all, the same thing can be said about Little Fighter 2. I will personally deposit some sort of ticking device in the mailbox of anyone who dares to say LF2 is a bad game...

Bottom line, Mortal Kombat
_ _ _ _ (6 out of 10)

I like MK, mostly because it HAS a storyline that isn't completely lame. Compared to other fighting games that have somewhat lame storylines this one had a good one and a back story for each character and basically, was more fun to play because you got to know the characters and then something happened to them and what not. I think it is one of the greatest fighting franchises there is. Soul Calibur and Street Fighter are in there as well, but MK had a little touch of humor that the others didn't have.

[Lionx]

The point is do you play fighting games for game mechanics or story? I say both, but what weighs more in a successful fighting game? Its always, game mechanics. RPGs are just the other way around. Different genre guys dont hold Street Fighter and Final Fantasy under the same standards because they are different to begin with.

BTW Dan Humour > MK.

Konquest had a story, the only parts that screwed it to hell was.


as he walked into the pool he grew old blah blah, the rest was awesome.

[nik0tine]

The Mortal Kombat movies are great.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Never was entirely too fond of it, my cousin will buy it and we'll play the game until we get all of the fatalities in, and then get bored and move on. Not really worth it.

[boys from the dwarf]

Which konquest.the konquest film series or the conquest game on mortal kombat deception?mortal kombat i would (seems as the story isnt the most complex and it leaves a lot unanswered and i prefer tekkens gameplay and storyline to martal kombats although they are even for storylines.)give a 6.5/10 maybe 7/10 so it is good but still the scecial effects arent paridise and there are some drawbacks.
