Who else is pissed?

I must say that I was anxious to see the next MK release for the next-gen systems, even if it was a versus game. After checking noob.com everyday for 2 weeks the day had finally come... or so we thought!

So what happens next...
1. The countdown expires.... NO UPDATES...
2. Wait for the Gamers Day to begin.... Lame ass "Embargo" imposed on sharing information...
3. Screen shot surfaces around midnight... mmmm there must be many more coming...right?
4. No. We wait another 18 hours.... This must be really good if we are forced to wait again...
5. Trailer released.... Are you serous? Thats it...
6. Details emerge... "T" for teen rating? WTF? I thought we did away with that shit in 1995...
7. No Fatalities... WTF? I realize you can only cut someones head off so many ways, but it has
been 2 years. Get creative!

This is just the beginning... This has got to be the biggest disappointment since the last episode of the Sopranos. Ed has really dropped the ball when you start giving creative control to people like Warner Brothers. Midway has always been a leader when it came to games with some balls and fun packaged together, and now they are going down the drain.

They game was proclaimed to "Reinvent the series!" All Midway has done is copy an idea the was created when MK arcade machines still existed. they are using the overwhelming success of comics to promote a shitty product. I can already see it now, "Go see Batman and sit in the theater for 25 minutes after the movie to see an exclusive special blurred image of MK vs. DC!!!"

I can only hope that the PS3 and x-box will be hacked by the time this is released so I can just download it off of a torrent site so I do not have to spend any money on this.

I have bled MK for many years, but Ed seriously WTF? Do you need to get john involved? I hope this is just another April Fool's Joke!
 
If you have truly bled MK for years then you will buy this anyway you damned hypocrit. I'll have it reserved the MOMENT I am able. I love MK. I sort of like DC (specifically Batman, dislike Superman). So, games i love + franchise i like = pretty cool idea. I see no problems. There will be finishers, they will be cool. There is blood. Yes it is rated Teen but they claim they want to "push the limits". I am skeptically optimistic.
 
On the bright side... For those who've always hated Superman, your chance to beat him up has now become open to you...
 
Ok well ive thought about it and im going to make the best of it since i love MK.

First off the characters have some potential. Batmans pretty sweet and The Joker could be amazing. So those are plus's and the other bad guys could be cool.

Bad - hes ****ing superman, he cant be killed or even hurt. I imagine there are some diehard superman fans that are going nuts worse than alot of the MK fans are about this. Whats this magic crap? Thats bs

The storyline - im hoping boon or the writers come up with something good, even though im on the negative side assuming it will not make much sense, but i bet they make it interesting and there should be amazing video footage of everyone.

The huge negative that cant be ignored. T RATING. WTF no fatalities? Mortal Kombat invented brutality and the M rating. You cant get rid of that. Why cant they make one version unrated and the wii T.

If and once i get past the character thing, which may be cool in the long run, no ****ing fatalities, wtf.

Its not some BS Boon created, as all DC fans know, Supes has always been very vulnerable to magic, that is why Capt. Marvel can kick his ass as can Wonder Women.

You can read a lot more about the magic aspect here:

I personally can't wait to play it, as it has a lot of potential fun to it.

Whos captain marvel?

So what type of magic hurts him? Im going with what ive seen in the movies and i thought only kryptonite hurt him.
 
Captain Marvel derives his power from Zues, you know the whole Shazzam thing, and he has used Lighting attacks, etc to demolish Supes, so Raiden be awesome against him.
 
Cpt. Marvel is the equivalent of superman, probably the only equally strong hero on Earth in the DC universe. His true form is just a young boy, but he gets his powers from a sorceror who transforms him into a huge flying muscular... guy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shazam!

Because he's magic, he regularly kicks Supes' ass. He's like Superman power-wise, just without the extras like heat vision and ice breath.
 
I also agree that At first, i was Furiated. I have been a Mortal Kombat fan since the first one was released 15 or 16 years ago. MK is the reason that I am pursuing a career as a game developer. I have always wanted to work for Midway and be part of the team that develops the game. This game, however, has made me think that there may be no reason to continue with a dream that is not going to happen. If the consumer's opinion of what they like is not taken into account, then this franchise is going up in smoke like the Springfield Tire Fire. But if this turns out to be a side game and not actually part of the storyline, then there might still be hope for us all.

P.S, Hope you enjoyed the Simpsons' Pun.

Either post something constructive or don't bother at all. I don't have the patience for a lot of other Mk fans right now. Because we as a fandom suck and always will. I'm not saying this as a DC fan, but purely as a MK fan. If it had been just MK8, would we have acted any different? MK:Arm became nothing but hopelessness after another. People wouldn't stop complaining about it.

I think a lot of us should turn round and ask ourselves if we ever were fans of the series. Because if we were fans, we should know better since MK has always been a mockery of all those old Kung-Fu movies.
 
I've always been a fan. I've loved and played every single MK game despite it's flaws. I've made myself very clear that it should be assumed that I loved EVERY MK game (except MK4, one time exception) and any complaints I have made here are merely pointing out mistakes that should be corrected in the next installment. My complaints are merely a way to vent my frustrations and they should never be taken to mean I have EVER truly disliked an MK game. Except MK4.
 
I've never disliked ANY MK game, period. I've never been one of the people to complain about all the little things here and there, or even the big, gaping flaws that others seem to dwell upon. Really, I can't even say I've ever been disappointed by an MK game.

So, that said, my reaction to this game is obviously an incredible change of pace, and hopefully those of you who want to lump all the haters together can understand that. It's absolutely NOT like me to ***** about a Mortal Kombat game, let alone one that hasn't been released yet.
 
I'm primarily pissed because I hate the DC universe, I only like Batman and some of his enemies.

WHY NOT JUST MK8? That's all I was waiting for.
I'll play this games, but if it's crap then I hope they ignore it from the main storyline and go with another new direction. It is true to say that I will enjoy beating the crap out of Overpowered Boring Man.
 
Well I was pissed that we waited over 30 days for news and all we got was a blurry picture because of the self imposed embargo by Midway. It just seemed so redundant, why not have the timer expire for when the embargo was meant to lift?

As for the announcement of MK vs DC, I was never pissed at that, I went from complete disbelief, to denial, acceptance and finally a small shed of optimism.

I think anyone hating this game is overreacting, this is a new direction for MK, not one fans had speculated but a new direction nonetheless. I wonder if more people are pissed it's MK vs DC or just that they were wrong in their predictions.

Worst case scenario, the game doesn't become canon and Boon has pretty much confirmed a MK9 will be made regardless of success or failure of MK vs DC. Ok granted that doesn't excuse Midway if this game flops, however it would not be the death of the franchise as many are preaching right now.

Best possible outcome, the game works, it's great, it's fun to play and MK gets a new direction to explore.

All I'm expecting from this game is something different from the generic MK mould, nothing more. With this attitude I won't be disappointed like I was with MK:A in which I expected too much.
 
I'm pissed off, but less pissed than I was. I do think it's a terrible idea and even if it's not canon, it's still not that great. The thing with all the hints on noob.com was the most annoying to me, I think fans deserve concrete information and not stupid puzzles. But meh.
