lack of creativity with x-ray moves?

After looking over most of the x-rays shown up till now, I have noticed most internal damage is on the skill/neck or chest. (minus cage with his groin punches) I know that in the x-ray video they had drawings of knees breaking. what do you guys think? agree/disagree?
 
I agree 100%. Which is why I do not like Sonya's xray. Sorry sweety, but I already saw that neck obliteration with Reptile and Kung Lao. Im waiting for xrays that involve ankles, knees, legs, elbows, and arms.
 
i semi-agree. For one, we've only seen roughly 12/"26" total x rays that will end up in the game-most of them are similar (damage same areas of the body), but we can hope that the other half of Xrays wont break the same bones... i want to see knees/elbows being popped backwards like those concepts!

Exactly!

Hyper-Extensions and limb attacks where are you!?!?

This.
Also you should look at the execution too, not only at the aftermath.
My only complain is for both Mileena and Scorpion's which are boring and uninspiring, everything else is top notch, with Sub Zero's one as the most infamous and a favourite of mine.
 
Disagreed, yeah they damage the same places but its the way the characters do them that makes them so unique, Reptile does it with his hands and Sonya does it with her legs ect

Again, NO!
Would you say that Reptile's one (except for the broken neck detail) is very similar to Sonya's? What would you expect, performing a tracheotomy with a rusted scalpel? That's the human body, also in a martial arts tournament where will you strike? Vital points of course, or strike to make the more damage possible and invalidating the opponent.
The whole x-ray concept is genius (even if not that original) and I'm amazed by every new one being shown!
 
I agree with Static, I think we've seen maybe 50% of the x-ray moves. We still have Baraka, Sindel, Stryker, Jade, and other characters not mentioned yet. I think the x-ray moves are good the way they are. Give the developers some credit, some of you couldn't come up with these let alone the execution!
 
So since we have seen about 50% of the characters fatalities and X-Rays and a good amount of people are still unimpressed, that's completely justified by the fact that we're hoping for the other 50% to be amazing? That's horrible logic. ESPECIALLY since the two main characters have pretty weak fatalities and X-Rays, don't you think since Scorpion and Sub-Zero are the faces of MK then they would have at least decent moves? Saying "just wait the good ones are coming" is just hoping. What if the ones we haven't seen are the same as the ones we have seen, or worse?
 
don't get me wrong, I love the executions and how each character has a unique way in executing each x-ray, but it just seems its a neck break here, jaw smash there....but I also understand the game doesn't come out till April and more then half of the x-rays still need to be revealled...I just hope they use elbow/knee joints breaking and things of that nature with the limbs

Well the fatalities are a decapitation there, torso removal there... same thing. Character models are a overly bulked guy there, girl with huge tits dressed like a stripper there....

Notice the pattern of laziness.
 
The add-on stuff like the x-rays and fatalities aren't the core of the game, but it is quite the elephant in the room. I'm holding out hope that the fatalities have been improved since the build of the game we've been seeing. The x-rays do (mostly) have the same affect (broken neck, skull, etc), but I still think they are a welcomed addition to the punishment that can be dished out against your opponent.

Just because something isn't the "core" of the game doesn't mean it shouldn't be awesome. Graphics aren't the core of the game, so why not make them shitty? Playing online isn't the core of the game, so why have it? See my point?

Also, do you know what made MK famous? Gore and Fatalities.

I have to agree, some people is obsessed with the game being competitive forgetting to just have fun and enjoy a great game.

I absolutely see your point. I didn't mean to say that don't need to be as good as they can make them. I'm just saying if I can have a good time beating up on some friends with this game, I'll enjoy it. However, I hope that the final version of the game's fatalities and x-rays are improved from what we've seen thus far.
 
I'm totally impressed. The visual flare alone is amazing, and I don't care if two people break a neck, when one does it with her thighs, and the other does it using the power to float people with his mind.

People on here throw the 'lazy' word around a lot, and considering the sheer level of detail to all this stuff, that's unfair to say the least.
 
I feel that kitanas x-ray is the most original because she stabbs them in the back of the head, teleports, n stabbs them in the eyes.. and that's is wat we have seen from hers so far.. it looks great to me..
