Well you've succeed
Y'know what else is a load of shit and very very cheap? Spoilers. Sorry... I just wanted to be a dick.
This game is nearing the two year mark is it really necesary? We may as well have mandatory spoiler alerts for NES games. Besides this isone of the most talked about and controversial moments in the game it'd be extremely difficult not to hear about it.
I was not really pissed I was more shocked that Sindel killed everyone. What I was pissed about was when NRS decided to Kill Liu Kang. I mean come on he was killed off in 2002 and when he finally comes back to life (In a canon story) They kill him off....... AGAIN!!!!! They could off at least have raiden knock him out then fight Kahn and then once it was over Liu could of apologize and learn from his mistakes. ITS CALLED BEING HUMAN YOU HERE THAT NRS?????
Yes. I think it is very cheap.
But when you say "mortal kombat" they will think about Sub-Zero or Liu Kang.
Sub-Zero will return and Liu Kang probably too. But I don`t know how NRS gonna deal with this shit.. Very cheap.
I am alright with characters dying as it paves the way for post MK3 to take their place in the next game. But they should have done it in a more balanced way imo. Characters (both good and bad) dying gradually throughout the storymode than all at once would have felt better.
And if it was the old formula then wouldn't you just be playing the same MK games with sexier graphics? (You know if they didn't changed anything) i would prefer a new outtake on a story if the revamp wasn't too ridiculous.
It wouldn't only be sexier graphics.
MK9's gameplay is much funner for me than any of the MK1 thru UMK3 games.
Yes, I know. *GASP* Blasphemy, Araknyd!!!
As far as the revamp not being rediculous:
Sindel killing everyone in that room but Johnny Cage and Sonya doesn't seem ridiculous to you???
I fear that MK10's story will suffer because NRS will have to explain bringing back some of the dead characters.
Mainly, an iconic character like Sub-Zero.
There's NO WAY that I could see NRS and WB excluding Sub-Zero or Scorpion from an MK game (AGAIN), alienating and pissing off half of the fan-base, just for the sake of a reboot story.
It wasn't really ridiculous to me even though it got a "wow" out of me.
But I agree their deaths could've been done in a more meaningful way like it was done for Bi-han.
Have mileena eat kitana,
Or Smoke killed by CybersubZero (when he was evil) (Later subzero gets sad/regret)
Jade forced to watch kitana die to the hands of mileena.
Jax killed by Kano
All of these would've been much more dark/gritty/awesome than Sindel just killing everyone.
but I'm not displeased or anything.
HELL NO!Sindel is boss. I was happy that she killed everyone. Better than Liu Kang.
initially i was pissed mainly cause sub-zero and smoke were killed but looking back at it it was kinda of funny in a way (Jax Stryker lookin at the two of yall) but it still bothers me because it felt like their deaths had no meaning except for Kitana and Nightwolf it felt like a bunch of badass character development wasted away by a plot device that was poorly executed.
at least i still have ermac who might join the side of good cause Rai dudes gonna need him when Quan Chi sends the zombie heroes on him..

+1 to that.I was not really pissed I was more shocked that Sindel killed everyone. What I was pissed about was when NRS decided to Kill Liu Kang. I mean come on he was killed off in 2002 and when he finally comes back to life (In a canon story) They kill him off....... AGAIN!!!!! They could off at least have raiden knock him out then fight Kahn and then once it was over Liu could of apologize and learn from his mistakes. ITS CALLED BEING HUMAN YOU HERE THAT NRS?????
i mostly think about scorpion and sub zero.Yes. I think it is very cheap.
But when you say "mortal kombat" they will think about Sub-Zero or Liu Kang.
Sub-Zero will return and Liu Kang probably too. But I don`t know how NRS gonna deal with this shit.. Very cheap.

but I'm not displeased or anything.
ORRRR everybody tries attacking shao khan but they all get like knocked out or something. and then liu kang (or raiden) get the power thingy of the elder gods (like raiden did in story mode) and have a final fight with shao khan, killing him.
after that everybody isn't unconscious anymore and raiden say some random wise words blablabla and then the quan chi part with that floating head guy begins.
THAT would be a great ending.
and for the sindel part: everybody gets beat up (like in story mode but NOT killd) and then nightwolf makes that green shield thingy around him and sindel (like he did when noob saibot exploded the spirits thing to protect himself) and he does the sacrifice thingy like in story mode, killing him and sindel.
Sorry but is this a Sonic game or Mortal Kombat? Shao Khan (I'd assume) would be smart enough to kill his enemies while they we're down. Or maybe even keep them prisoner just for show and then kill them
Mortal Kombat isn't 'heroes win everytime, let's go home' type of game. It brings a certain shock value to it's crowd. Like Liu Kang dying. I agree that the character roster genocide should have played out different like different people dying to different causes. (What Critical said)
And Commander it's not so much ridiculous to me that Sonya and Johnny we're still alive I just thought, "Well damn how lucky of them."
Fighting games shouldn't be afraid to make lengthier story modes. Hopefully story mode will be more elaborate next time. *COUGH* NRS use FJ's MK10 Story *COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUGH*
