1.) needs more blood (ie-Dception)
2.) story mode sucks
3.) meters suck (toggle optional)
4.) needs more blood (ie-Deadly Alliance)
5.) combos suck (toggle optional)

1, 3, and 5. When eliminated from the program database leaves more "space" for better fatalities and MORE BLOOD!!!!

I don't go and encourage people to roundhouse someone, but rather watch MMA, in person. When a person is cut on their face or gets kicked causing blood to spew out from their face, the blood does not disappear into thin air. When sitting 1,2,3 rows back, that blood splatters on your clothes. If more blood is not added, the MK universe could be looking for a colossal FAIL.

My dorky ex-programmer hat goes off to the creators of TIME KILLERS. Please release the credentials needed to have this game remade with the technology we have today.

BOTTOM LINE - I'm still keeping my reserved copy of MK.

I NEED TO SEE SOME FUCKING GROUND BUZZSAWS YESTERDAY PEOPLE LET'S GO GO GO MOVE MOVE MOVE

*Exhausted deep breaths*

how do you know the story mode sucks?

smh you guys are suppose to be MK fans you should be lucky we are even getting mortal kombat unlike australia or for that matter another mortal kombat game because it was hinted that mortal kombat armegeddon was suppose to be the last game in the franchise thats why it had every character in the game

I'm not sure I would say it "sucks", but I can understand the disappointment. I, for one, would much prefer to see the free-roaming adventure kind of story mode from MKD. To me, that was incredible, and I was hoping for that to make a comeback.

They really need to fix the animation when you block Scorpion's spear. When you block it it just comes back straight, like it's a solid pole or something? It needs to fall on the ground and then Scorpion needs to yank it back, I mean, he has to pull you back when he catches you, why not when he misses?

Cage's extra galsses need to have the $500 price tag on one of the arms.

i dont know if you understand this but... this is not mk3 or four or ss4

WHY DO U PEEPOL DO THIS



Gets on mah fuckin nerves!

Wow....

It's been a while since I've checked into MKO and actually read some of the news and threads online personally (my brother is usually the one with my laptop nowadays). So for catching up, I read all that I missed since the reveal of Mileena's Vignette... (Thankfully I saw this Rant Thread so I don't make a new one, lol)

LIU KANG is BADASS to the bone! Showing him the reason why he's the Champion of Mortal Kombat with all his fluid combos, killer moveset and very impressive Fatality. I am hoping for his Alt. Costume be one of a Shaolin Monk attire. Hopefully they do pay homage to his MKII finisher and we see the Dragon one more

THIS IS THE NOOB SAIBOT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! Fearful appearance, insane combos and moves which includes a doppelganger assisting him kind of the same way he was portrayed in Deception with Smoke suits him well. Storyline wise we saw in the clip he knows of his past and does not care of it anymore and will not hesitate to kill his own brother if needed to do so. Shows that he was never going to change even if he were successful in forefilling his "last mission" in MK1.

Ermac with his more black than his signature red look is indeed a refresher to his character.

Jade. Wow. Just. Wow. She looks ever so gorgeous as well as deadly in this game and we get a retro ninja alternate that does the job well.

Kano is seriously looking like the thug that he is in his clans black n red ensemble. BTW: BEST FATALITY BY FAR!!!

Stryker is actually growing on to me than before. In MK3, hell yeah he was a badass, in Armageddon, not so much. But they did him justice and i see lots of potential crazy combos with Stryker in this installment.


Australia Ban:
Even though I reside in the U.S., I do feel for the Aussie gamers who are unable to acquire the game in their home country. It's like your parents forbid you to get the game because it will "screw you up", I mean c'mon. There's a reason why we have a rating system in each country, to prevent minors in viewing and playing inappropriate games. They should review it again and classified the game because man that's ridiculous, Aussie MK Gamers, don't give up, you will have MK!!!


The Challenge Tower:
(Watching video... Eyes Widens... Jaw Drops... Mind Explodes... END GAME?!?!... Mind Explodes Again). This is what I'm talking about! Not only do we get a Story mode and Online Play, we get this Challenge Tower that will definitely keep us hardcore MK gamers busy! I will be all over this like my brother is all over the C.O.D. series. I will be busting hours upon hours completing every single mission including End Game. Forget buying my way to finish it. Thank you NRS!


DEMO?!?!?!?!
(Flatline.... _______^-v--^--v-^-)
Okay, now that I'm back again, YES!!! I will patiently wait for the demo to be released to the PSN and get my feel on the game and give it my rating on how it is so far...


Now I feel much better with expressing myself on here. It's been a busy life so hopefully I will be more active in the forums from here on out, if not then another rant from me lol.



-JoJo

The Kollectors Edition does not come with a toaster that says toasty! when the toast pops up and has the MK dragon on it.

That's some serious concern, Flaming Toasted Piece (of bread). I have been wondering whether the MK That Includes a Toaster Edition will include a toaster or not. Are you concerned about that?

Annoyed with all these spoilers! I need a spoiler repellent!.
Goodness. I can't even enjoy the whole page without all the spoilers in the way. Can't wait until people just stop or either keep it to themselves or to a circle of certain people who love spoilers or whatever. But this is a forum so...

Anyway. My rant of the week is all these damn SPOILERS.
It's getting old extremely quick. We have a month people.
A month flies by before you know it. We've got the demo, now wait for the game.
It's silly to post a million (exaggerating) spoilers RIGHT before the game is out.
Ants in your pants that bad?

here is my rant about the Demo:
I dont mean to sound like Im bashing the game. Im a hardcore MK fan. I even own the dedicated arcade games. I think MK9 had tons of great aspects of it and it has tons of potential. There are far too many good things that I could say but there are just some details that need to be refined and rethought.

Im really glade they are putting these demos out before the game release but they really should have run a beta instead. There is not enough time for them to make changes to the game. Im defiantly disappointed with several aspects of the game.

The thing I hate the most so far is the "announcers" voice. It sounds like James Earl Jones' retarded cousin. Its so slow and drawn out. it just sounds embarrassing. Listen to how he says Mileena. THIS VOICE NEEDS TO GET CHANGED.

Button Layout is horrible. They really need to have a layout more like the original. High Punch, Low Punch, High Kick, Low Kick. why would they change that? Now its Front punch, Front Kick, Back Punch, Back Kick. Also after seeing the special edition of the game and they joystick it comes with I thought for sure there would be a run button. Well there isnt. without run the game seems slow. there is a dash forward with double tab but you still cant rush you opponent. What they hell were they thinking taking the round house kick out of this game and the two previous games. That is a staple move just like the upper cut. which buy the way is done now with the old high kick button.

Reaction time seems slow for moves aswell. It seems like there is a half second delay most of the time. just seems a little clunky. The players movements are not smooth enough. Oh and the little into line each player says along with their movement at the beginning of each fight is so cheesy. Sub Zeros is the worst.

The game is set up too bright. I had to adjust my tv settings to bring down brightness bring up contrast and bring up backlighting. Once I did that it looked 100x better. There was no adjustment for this in the game. That might not be the case for the full game.

The bolded text: something I feared. The old MK games were so much better compared to the recent ones due to the annoying delays after hitting buttons. The fighter should perform the move instantaneously after the button is pressed.

Things I do not like about MK9 via the demo:

The announcers voice is lame. Sub-Zero is too big and his stance is not nearly traditonal. Johnny Cage looks stupid (tattoo, his name on his belt) what happened to the MK1 look? Some of the moves are slow and short range making them nearly pointless.

My pre-order remains ordered.

My last rant was about it not being in 3D fighting ground, but now I love the idea! Looks better this way! I'm ranting about all the other MK fans who complain about little aspects of the MK that, to me, shouldn't really matter! When it comes to fatalities, there is usually a motif in each game. For example, MKD, a majority of fatalities are slamming people into the ground and exploding, pulling bones out of the body and stabbing them with it, MK4/G, a lot of explosions and re-imagined classic fatalities. So, MK will have a lot of decapitations and dismemberment.

I heard the demo was an early build so that may be the problem with the gameplay.

I guess the only thing that is a piss off is the prize at the end of the challenger tower, some of you know what i am talking about lol.

I don't mean to be a asshole but ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED?!?!
The gameplay looks slow and clunky??!?!?! It looks way faster than the past "modern" MKs! The stances look awesome! The x ray moves are awesome! and Reptile looks really awesome!!!! I don't get you.

YOU ARE RETARDED. I WANT TO KILL YOU.

Pardon me... I certainly hope you are joking with your latest posts. People here have the right to complain about what they don't like about this game. What's funny is that the people that you quoted don't even come on here anymore, so your insults are practically worthless.

I suggest you should stop while you're ahead and let people voice their opinions on what they don't like about this game without hearing that you don't like what they had to say...

PS... those rants were during the very beginning of this whole thing, so much has improved since they wrote those posts... Check the date the next time you want to quote someone from the past, please.

After playing the game a little I don't have a rant.

I think still "Flogging A Dead Horse" is a better title for a rant forum. Hay ho.

I'm sick of hearing about Rain. Boo hoo, he isn't in the starting roster. But how did these crybabies live between 1996 and 2006 when Rain didn't appear in any game?

To me, Rain is just a big bitch that sprays his tears from his hands and steals moves from Nightwolf. He got his roundhouse kick from a Richard Simmons workout, and he stole his outfit from a Renaissance maiden.

If I were a fan of his, I'd quit crying and wait until the DLC train chugs in with him.

why is there no more Death Traps i loved those since MK deception
also is the story canon or non-canon thnx
