That's the thing though. The REAL name for it is football. It's not invented in USA, so you guys calling it soccer is wrong. :P

Yes, a game that has you playing with your feet is called soccer here in the U.S., and not football.

Makes a whole lot of sense.

Even if you google the definition of soccer, it says "a form of football". XD

Anyways, this is rather off-topic.

The correct name for the sport is soccer. Football is a totally different sport...here. wink


Yes, I am aware of that but actually the correct name of the sport is football. English people invented the sport and called it football. In Spanish it is called "futbal". In French it is called "le foot". In German it is called "fussball". See a recurring pattern there?

Totally off topic, but it is kinda funny. Doesn't make any sense that a sport (in the US) called football almost has nothing to do with kicking, except for field goals and PAT's here and there.

Ok now that that's out of the way, I highly doubt MKX will flop. grin

Yep, I totally get it and I agree with you. Hence why I said "here" followed by a playful wink from Stryker. grin

I seriously doubt it will flop. MK9 was a huge success for the series, considering many fatalities were redundant. MKX has a lot of things going for it. I think this game is where MK has always strived to be. the fatalities look insane. The gore factor is over the top. We finally get to see the insides with better details.
I love the direction that they are taking the game...the darker, more sinister tone. I actually hope that they make this game into a horror/fighting game, which is what I have always felt MK should be.

I think it will not only be successful, but outsell mk9.

But not in Europa. Here it is called Football because you use your foot ;) In America it's called Soccer. FiFa is called Federation International of FOOTBALL Association. No Soccer in it :D And since in MKO every MK fan in every Country posting here, it doesn't matter what you called it. It's just depending on where you live :) Both is right. Edit: oh and... MKX won't flop.

Just want to weigh in here, it doesn't matter if Americans call it football or soccer or bananas, it still really sucks. (Except for that whole shoulder-biting incident - that was funny.)

MKX won't flop even if i have to convince everyone i know to buy 10 copies each.

Yep, we've been over that Napalm. Looks like you missed the rest of the conversation. On that note, DAMN your country is good at soccer...I mean football. It was a pleasure watching Germany at this year's World Cup, especially that win over Brazil. glasses

The whole franchise flopped after MK3. They've dealt with and recovered from flops before, they'll be fine.

I don't know what will happen if it flops but I wont think anything less of NRS or the MK franchise. I am buying a copy on day 1 and I will continue to buy any and all MK games released.

Germany winning the WC was a highlight of the year for me so far. I never freaked out over a football match like I did during that 7-1 stomping of Brazil.

I have a feeling it's going to do well.

Then again I am just being optimistic

I think cautious optimism I find is a good thing. ^^
That's basically how I usually feel when a new game I like is announced.
