I would rather play MkT than MK ARM.

It would have been alot better if they mixed in parts where you had to talk to people, like deceptions. Not sure if konquest will be a part of future MK games, but its something they should think about if they plan on it. Its cool that they made a game with every mortal kombat character ever...well except khameleon, but this game didnt live up to the hype.
I knew when i heard about the kaf that something was gonna suck about it, but the konquest mode rocks, no more roaming, no more one punch knockout in free roaming, just kicking ass without taking names!

Other than that I think the aerial Kombat kicks ass and the KAF is ok. Basically out of this generation of MK games, Deception still feels like it was the most complete one.
I sincerely hope that you enjoy the game when it finally becomes available to you, DarkLord. I used to love the endings in classic MK, still do. You would work so hard to battle your way up the tower and whatnot to see them. Even MKDA and MKD had picture endings at least, not boring overly repeated Kata sequences with a dull voiceover. But when you think about it, 60 + endings translates into over 120 artwork cards. That's a bunch!

If they had made 60 + FMV endings for MKA, not only would we have had to wait at least another 6-8 months for the game, but it would have been way too costly for them to make. As you say, picture endings would have sufficed. But even that would have taken far too long.

The reason why the kaf was added wasn't for the fans.... It was because the kaf allowed them to reduce the time frame of complete of product, or in other words, they got lazy and decided to give every body the same fatality and just make it so you can do a different version of the same fatality. On that note, That what i liked about konquest was that it was an easy beat'em up and not an rpg, I didn't like the fighting engine for the last konquest and that items were hidden, it completely took all the joy out of playing deception because i knew i would have to play konquest before i could really start playing. And that's something that got fixed with armaggeddon. But I will agree that the cutscenes sucked, hard!
wow you didnt like free roaming? That was one of the best things about deceptions konquest. That and the fact that all the hidden items were HARD to find.

Here you have almost all of the kombatants with absolute boat loads of other shit. And here you are saying that your biggest disappointent is no Chess Mini Game. The Chess was only a supplement to the main game in MKD. It's like saying that you hate your new $300,000 Porsche because a $3000 stereo isn't included. Lol. Want to play Chess? Then go buy a seperate Chess game. Or pop in MKD
My biggest dissapointment about the game is no chess!!!

I would have loved it if chess would have been included due to that very fact... MKA Chess would've been off the hinges w/all them kombatants, am I wrong? This thread is about biggest disappointments... If this was about what I liked best, I woulda said 'the size of the roster and KAK'. - and I posted something similar to that in another thread...

In chess you fight to gain a strategic advantage... there is much more at stake than simply winning a match... It is a shame if you've never given chess a proper chance... It is a very deep game. If both opponents are skilled enough, a match can last for over an hour. Imagine if all the moves/ spells cast/ fights that you and your opponent have made led up to the one determining battle... whoever ends up as the victor will gain enough of a strategic advantage that the match will tip in their favor, but nothing is guaranteed until the opponents leader has been subjected to a fatality. So the scales can tip back and forth against all odds. My boy and I linked up about once a week strictly to get down on the MK Chess... It's all good though, cuz on MKA now we go at it with our KAKs...
Sorry, but I find that very difficult to understand, dude.

Well, you know, he said his "biggest" dissapointment was no chess. So if chess is so minor it must be a great game right? But I miss chess too. It was my most played mode in MKD.
Originally Posted by : KonaSince you wanna pull a side-buster move and repeat what the dude wit the Mileena fetish said... I will address it once again: It would've been nice to have a MKA version of chess, cuz then it would have featured all of the kombatants...
If he really want to play it sooo badly, he can pop in MKD...
