wrong, lol bro:
I really apreciate and respect to mk1 mk2(linked a bit to mk sm), mk4 and mkda.
about your question the list giant, if i should to explain, prolly i need separate section per thread, i demonize to mk3-umk3-mkt-mkmsz ( a bit), mksf, mkd, mka, mkvsdc. mk9 and mk10.More above in my previous post there is an idea. Imo the big insult to mk ,is mk3, the most ridicule mk title.
I suggest tou you start to collect the bad things and the good things in every detail per game, not only the gameplay, just whole thing and try to get what pattern is going to be repeated in the proccess, specilly when stupid vogel and stupid boon each more have less ideas.
a litle example in histoy mode like as thread, honestly a great corrupted and an ultra morphed shinnok could to beaten by the stupid daughter of cage in mk10? really???? excuse me mr.boon and mr.voguel, you are very wrong!!!, cause under a logic point of view, is not posible, wait? the green aura from j.cage ´s shadow kick is the excuse? now the weed is more strong than any fierce mk boss? I HATE THIS LACK OF LOGIC AND REALISM....... but well mk need tobias, suddenly.
That green aura comes from a power Johnny inherited from his ancestors who were breed as warriors. But still, I agree that it wasn't very convincing that Cassie would win. I respect your views and opinions but lets dig in to this:
Honestly, there's nothing too wrong with MK3 except that the fatalities got way too silly for the most part and couple silly things here and there. MK3 was my favorite in the series. How could you not love the empty, souless, apocolyptic city vibe when Kahn invaded? Renegade Sub-Zero being hunted by the Cyborgs. Raiden rallying the rest of the heroes for a desperate attempt to save Earth. Evil Sindel witch. It was awesome in my opinion. And it was the game that first brought the combo system. That's when the series got really interesting in game play.
MK4 you get Shinnok and Quan Chi, a huge fan favorite, trying to take over Earthrealm, Outworld, and Edenia. It had dark awesome music too. It was fast as heck and had brutal grab moves. It incorperates the awesome new story details from Mythologies.
Mythologies, by the way, is my favorite bad game of all time. Its hard as hell to the point it was hilariously awful to play, but shit it was cool in so many other ways.
You liked MKDA, so there's no need to go over that. It was sweet and felt reminiscent to MK1. Added Kenshi, another new favorite.
I don't know how anyone couldn't like Deception. The story continued with its dark nature. You got to explore the realms in a really cool way. I played the shit out of Konquest mode multiple times because of that. The game play was a bit more smooth than MKDA. What's not to like there? A cluster of arguably bad new characters. I easily look passed that for everything else it delivered.
Armageddon was the weakest. A rushed product but still a fun game regardless of all the crap in it. It was like a burnt chocolate chip cookie. You have to chew through the crap to taste the chocolate chips.
Shaolin Monks, you liked right? It was a fun, non canon, side game. An alternate take on what MK2 was. It still has a few canon things to it. The opening scene was the greatest MK cinematic of all time, I thought.
MKvsDC. I don't like that crap either. Its the one MK game I played the least. Atleast it had a couple cool character designs. It was a "what if" situation taking place around MK2-MK3. I can't really be bothered by a bad non canon side game.
MK9 was a clever way to make a sequel and a reboot after the mess that was Armageddon. You get back to the glorious trilogy era that is now considered the golden age. Sure, there's slight changes that wasn't nessarily great, but why get a complete retelling of something we've already seen? Its intended to go in a new direction. It wasn't 100% perfect, but it really tickled the majority of MK fans mostly because of the nostalgic factor. It was amazing. Really made me feel like that child I was when coming home from school anxiously to play MKTrilogy again.
I liked X. Story wasn't perfect either but it was an interesting new version of MK4 I thought. Again, it was silly to see child-like girl beat an ancient demon, granted but that was the biggest flaw in the story, I think. The more realistic tone, dark gritty atmosphere. The most beautiful looking MK game to date. The fatalities are really well done, granted every game has its share of stinkers though.
Gameplay is killer and the roster is more good than bad.
That's me though. You probably have valid points to this, but those things
don't ruin all but two games for me.
