Ed Boon Statement Fallacy

[Taj Gill]

Real MK fans love all different characters.

The palette swaps are boring, outdated and should all be consigned to the Netherrealm. MK 2011 would have been much better if it had focused on the later characters and brought in some new characters instead of rehashing the same tired old mainstays.



The newer (MKA - MK:A) characters are better.

Wow. Do you know anything about MK at all? MK went downhill after the series went 3D. What made the game famous was the use of the digitized graphics and palette swaps. And like Jarvis said, its clear that the consensus of fans love the old characters better than the shitty 3D ones, otherwise they wouldnt have made this reboot. If they continued in the way they were going, do you think this game would have the same amount of hype it is receiving now? NO it wouldnt, you know why? Because this game is a recreation of the first three games, the glorious games of mortal kombat before they ruined the game by taking out most of the favourites from MK4, switched to 3D and provided horrible gameplay and overexposure. Therefore it is clear that the majority of the fan base find the new characters to be a waste of space, otherwise NR would not have done this. And dont start any of this real fan bullshit, fans are entitled to whatever the series provides, but if a clear majority thought the 3D games werent up to par (which is true) and the MK team realizes that, then that should be the way more of us should think about the game.

How can people compare stupid female vampire characters to MK's symbols like Scorpion, Sub-zero or Reptile?? I hate this vampire hype. They are everywhere! So please leave them out of MK

(Enter sarcasm)
You know, while they're thinking of vampires, they might as well throw this dumb f*** in:

I mean, who knows, maybe they can rake in all the Twilight fans too and make a gazillion dollars. :-|

lol @ you still dwelling on Kratos being in. Get over it.

Can we just lock this topic since it went off-topic a long time ago?

 

[DCR]

What? You want us to lock a thread because you guys took it off-topic a whole 8 hours ago? Why not just stop taking the thread off-topic?

Okay...I'm going to get this thread back on topic here.

I actually don't mind Quan Chi being in. This game is supposed to be MK9 that re-tell the MK story, that does not exclude post MK3 characters or even new characters from being included. This game DOES focus on the classic characters, but that is the focus, not the limit.

I think it's awesome Quan Chi is going to be in, it's also likely we'll be seeing Sareena and/or Skarlett (we still have yet to find out that character reveal from the female boot, none of which are Sonya, Kitana, Mileena or Sindel). It's not that big of a deal. We still have Scorpion, Reptile, Sub Zero, Mileena, Kitana, Sonya, Sektor, Cyrax, Nightwolf, Ermac, Sindel, Cage, Kung Lao, and all those people from the classic games. And honestly, I'd much rather see a new or post MK character than guest characters (didn't Soul Calibur already kill the series with that instead of designing new characters that were decent?).

I believe we will have all our classic MK1-3 favorites plus Quan Chi and Skarlett/Tanya/Sareena. Nothing wrong with keeping the game a little diverse.

Besides, this game is MK9, not Ultimate MK3 2.0 or MKTrilogy 2.0

Actually if you compair the boot and Sindel they are a match, atleast thats whats going through my head without having both at my disposal at this moment in time.
