BANALITY
i will reply about the games from 1995 today: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.
mk3-umk3-mkt, had the most crap martial choreography, the most generic animations and sprites, the first game that have alot plot holes (worse is in mk9) the most ridicule character design and customes asked to tobias, cause original main ideas are from Goskie, vogel and boon) the worse fatalities reaction, the most ridicule active friendship and crappy aniamlites and unrealist non-coherent fatalities, the most unrealistic stages ever in mk. ahhh tsung with hose pants and unmasked sub-zero with diaper other the great humillation.
PPl don´t understand that ed boon is only good for his own area, the programming, not other areas and the stupid went to manage the martial choreography area , like as you can see at the mk3 behind the scenes video, horrible martial chorography.
stupid boon, thanks to tobias in build motaro and sheeva, that is the few good 100% made by tobias in 1995 and that ironically stupid boon can not make a 3d motaro at the actual years.
