MK Australia Banning Discussion

BANALITY
It goes on to list several of the fatalities which particularly upset the board – including Kung Lao’s “buzz saw” hat manouvre, Jade’s fancy fighting stick work, Stryker’s point-blank firing range, Quan Chi’s leg-ripping, Scorpion’s slice and dice, Mileena’s twin-blade action, Kabal’s long hooks, Shao Kahn’s body-tearing skill, Kitana’s folding fan, and – of course – Baraka’s wrist blades.

Re: pathetic australlian banning reveals quanchi and kabal...more inside

Is it terrible that I've replayed the video I put up about 30 times in a row already.....

that is going to look so amazing in the graphics of MK9.
 
Re: pathetic australlian banning reveals quanchi and kabal...more inside

Thanks spader, already heard about Shao Kahn's ripping in half fatality, I think it's gonna be sweet!
 
Re: pathetic australlian banning reveals quanchi and kabal...more inside

The report says "25 players" for some reason, I was thinking we were a bit over that given Quan Chi and Kabal's reveal. Maybe that doesn't include secret characters? Or that maybe Rain and perhaps Sheeva are DLC?
 
Re: pathetic australlian banning reveals quanchi and kabal...more inside

is there a possibility to read the original classification report somewhere?

You bet your ass I'm pissed off! My workmates copped my ranting this afternoon, and then to top it off, I got the phone call from EB Games confirming the bad news and that I'll need to get a refund for my pre-order. SO GUTTED!! There must be something we can do... We can spam this with emails "enquiries@classification.gov.au" - but they would want to be well-worded and civil, or the board will probably arrange a news story about how they made the right decision because "look how aggressive these spamming MK fans are - clearly they've been corrupted by violent videogames." Argh, god damnit I hate prudes.

That sucks. I hope you guys are able to get the game fine. :[
 
Re: pathetic australlian banning reveals quanchi and kabal...more inside

Here is the report but since it reveals so much I am putting the image file thumbnails up so you don't have to spoil it if you don't want to. I will also be waiting to update my sig in case some people don't want to know the characters it reveals. Although I'm sure if you are in this thread you already know. :razz:


 
Re: pathetic australlian banning reveals quanchi and kabal...more inside

- baraka explicitly lodges a blade (attached to his wrist) in an opponent´s stomach and hoists them above his head. He spins them round and explicitly decapitates and dismembers them...

can someone explain this? i tried to search the word "to hoist" in the dictionary but it doesnt seem logical to me... is it like kabals fatality from MK:Deception or what? dont know what they mean with this description... although my englisch is not too bad i cant imagine what they try to describe...
 
Re: pathetic australlian banning reveals quanchi and kabal...more inside

Ok I just got off the ph with EB,and JB...they said that, the game has been refused classifcation...meaning they have no rating it can fall under coz its too violent fo ma15+.....WELL DUGH GIVE US AN R rating you dumb ausie **** wits! , and that 2 things will happen, its not goin to be revised or cencsored, coz they told me the GAME IS DONE.... so its either goin to be released in australia, later then every where else....uncut...or it just wont come out at all

Hoist in this means lift above and Kabal fatality has nothing to do with his MKD ones. He pulls out opponent's organs with hookswords and impales him.
