I completely agree with you IceBaby.

There are a lot of pricks out there that just say that in order to make others feel bad. There is no real point behind them saying "A true MK fan would..." they're just saying it because they can't think of a logical response to what the people around them are talking about. I find it quite annoying personally, just because I was excited about Mk vs. Dcu I'm now supposedly not a true fan?

In my oppinion these users that post spam about people not being "True" fans are just kids, or in some cases adults, who have nothing better to do than try and judge other people they have never met before.

:/

as a fan im a bit dissapointed in the way the series has turned out. when i was a little kid prolly seven or 8 i had a n64 with mk trilogy. i loved that game for different reasons. i would also play mk 2 at my friends but i liked trilogy because it had more characters.

i think i liked mk for the ninjas mostly sub scorp and reptile. im starting to like ermac and i think he should be in the next game to build him up more to a level of classic characters. not just the characters, i like the fatalities and killing your opponent. it was cool how they were difficult like brutalities. to this day i have never done one and think they should bring it back.

for me mk was about the darkness, secrets and the cool fighters. there may not be such a thing as a TRUE MK FAN, but some people tend to obsess it more like anyone on this site.
even though the series dissapoints me lately i still look forward to a new game.

ohh and anyone who brags about how they are more of a true fan than you is just an immature douchebag

In all honesty those people that say "True MK fans would say or do this....." are just immature little pricks, who have nothing better to do with their lives than to act like a dick to someone via a computer, as a opposed to their face. These spineless douchebags are what make playing online for me a little frustrating and annoying at times.

That whole "True MK fan" argument doesn't even work in the first place. How would they know what true mk fans want if they don't even have evidence to back it up. Secondly, the term "true" is very vague. Is that somebody who enjoys the games and knows and average amount or, is it a guy who knows everything about MK and, is obsessed with it. I agree that people on this site should think for one fucking second before they state their point.

lol

I guess that makes me a typical, mediocre MK nerd then eh? haha..

Wait, then is a "geek" all encompassing?

==

The "true fan" phrase is stupid, but it's not going away anytime soon so, I'd probably just get some good one liner come-backs together and forget about it.

ha!

You know, a true MK fan wouldn't be posting stuff like that.....

Dang, you beat me to it.
I'm sick of these stupid labels. Seriously, does so much thought have to go into defining the type of person that likes MK, and how much? It's a freakin GAME people. It's really not that important.

No duh it's a game, but people here make so much of a big deal about it and I'm trying to figure out why. But yet again, we're on a site that was specifically made for a video game, so I think it is sort of important in a way. But people don't need to make such a big deal anyways.

Not to mention, I find it sort of rude how some people here are calling these people "pricks" and "morons." That's not really neccessary guys.

I agree on the importance of us on the website, the fans of video games, movies, etc. Are as important as the people who made it, we make or break sales. Im happy some people put "true fans" let them believe that be happy in there gaming world as long as they have the game and make Midway the money so be it.

....Also the name calling is apart of this website (if you read through the threads) your not gonna stop it. These are forums full of opinions haha have at it.

agreeable, the term true MK fans is rather vague. though now it is largely describe "Hardcore MK fan"which could be difined as serious about MK, played every(most of them at least) games. the classifacation of gamers certainly does work, could be specified more, but good. To tell you the truth, I don't fit into "True MK fan catagory"(I started in MK:DA, and wasn't nessesarily all into MK)

I'm actually a believer in the true fan. It's not vague if you use "true" in the classical sense: correct, moral, honest, and most importantly, sound.

If you think it's vague, just apply it to another situation. A sound parent is one who loves their child, but reprimands him when he acts in immoral conduct. A sound boss is someone who is fair to his employees and doesn't bullshit them.

A true fan is just someone who supports the franchise when it produces good, quality material, and refuses to support it when it loses its integrity. Such fans also criticize the creators constructively, and do so because they care about the products quality and artistic value.

It's all based in conscience. If you think MkvsDC is a good product made with genuine intent, they're a true fan for buying it. If you think MKvsDC was a sell-out attempt and a fuck-you to the fan-base who waited patiently for MK8, you're a true fan for boycotting it.

^ Might as well close this thread. No one's gonna come up with anything better
