Retro_Link Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) New Trailer! Looks awesome! Great to see some other characters, like Kano and Striker (though he's a little fatter than I remember)! Wasn't really a fan of the new ninja's when they were introduced (I haven't played a game with them in though), like Ermac and Rain. Edited March 9, 2011 by Retro_Link
Pit-Jr Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 That looks sufficiently OTT. Wish i would have held off buying MvC3 now. No harm in owning both though i suppose.
Pit-Jr Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 My god they've even managed to slip in a QTE sequence into to his moveset. I tried the demo over the weekend. I was surprised by how good it looked and played and the controls are much more responsive than in the past
The Mad Monkey Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Quite looking forward to this, not played a pure MK game in years, although did enjoy DC vs MK a lot. I miss the early days when they digitized actors for the characters. How awesome would it be if they had collaborated with the people doing the web series and scanned all the actors in for the characters?

Erm, I couldn't imagine anything worse! really enjoyed the demo of this, always had a so spot for mortal kombat, might pick it up, might wait for it to become cheap, might just pray for a 3DS version!
The Mad Monkey Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Really enjoying this, best MK in years. Story mode is great, gets a bit cheap sometimes though double teaming against you.
The Bard Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 I've heard nothing but charitable things about this game, so thus far my sceptical self is intrigued. If they do it right, this could be the first good MK game =p.
Shorty Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 If they do it right, this could be the first good MK game =p. Future tense? It came out on Thursday, y'know Also, Mortal Kombat II was the first good MK game!
The Bard Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Yeah MK2 was fun, but it wasn't really a good fighter in the way that SF2 was. I'll give this a shot, maybe rent it for a couple days. Can you still rent games? I haven't done it since I was like...11.
Retro_Link Posted April 23, 2011 Author Posted April 23, 2011 MK3 was fantastic! I've just watched the Gametrailer Review, they gave it 9.4. It really does look great.
Shorty Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Yeah MK2 was fun, but it wasn't really a good fighter in the way that SF2 was. SF2 wasn't a good fighter though, it was a great fighter MK2 definitely qualified for 'good'.I'll give this a shot, maybe rent it for a couple days. Can you still rent games? I haven't done it since I was like...11.You can, at Blockbuster. If you weren't just asking for a single, modern title, Id say sign up to lovefilm for a month, if you look around you can get a 2-4 week free trial, if you're smart you can use quidco and actually make money. But you have to make a list of 10 things you want to rent and getting your #1 is pure luck, so in store might be your best bet. Don't expect it to be £1.95 for a week like it was when you were 11 though
The Mad Monkey Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Man, Kintaro is so cheap, that fucker pisses me off.
nekunando Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 I've never had any fondness for Mortal Kombat and, having just watched the GT Review, I still seem to find it extremely unappealing I think one of my friends will be getting this at some point so I'll most likely be trying it out at some point but I just don't think it will be for me, sadly..
MATtheHAT Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 I've been playing this over the weekend, and I'm really enjoying it. It's not as good as the big hitters - SFIV, Blazblue or MvC3, but it's a decent fighter none the less. I am liking the combo system, experimenting with Kung Lao in practice mode. I've got a few combo's I have mapped to muscle memory, one of them takes 40% of the lifebar. I just need to see if they work online against real people.
The Mad Monkey Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Challenge Tower has 300 missions. Bloody hell, I'm only on 60 something, going to take a while. Had a little bash online, lost more games than I won, but seems pretty much lag free, takes a while to find a game though. Noticed this today too.
martinist Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Since Playstation Network is down, I've never been able to play this online. So I've been going through the story mode and arcade mode for a while. Haven't even touched the challenge tower, test your might/sight or most of the krypt. Once the network is back up and running I'll be playing alot more of it.
MATtheHAT Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Capcom fanboy. Just telling it like it is. It's a competent fighting game, and I agree it has the best single player experience, closely followed by Blazblue. But who plays fighters for the single player?
MATtheHAT Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Its not a problem liking Street fighter etc. but being ignorant to the fact that many perhaps prefer other fighting games. What is wrong with games like Soul Calibur, Tekken, Mortal Kombat or Virtua Fighter? Nothing at all, I absolutely love those games.
flameboy Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 finally got round to playing the demo properly and love it, feels perfect. Will defo pick this up when the price drops a bit.
