Prepare...for DECEPTION!

[Bob]

I have in fact played Deadly Alliance so the assumptions can stop right there.

When I heard about the fighting style changes I was excited then i actually played the game for a few months and discovered the same half assed dial a combo  2.5d gameplay style was still intact after MK4.

Mk should have ended with part 2

From part 3 it evolved into utter trash.                    

[New Era Outlaw]

Cool. I can respect that.
It's just that several people I've encountered say they hate Deadly Alliance, and yet haven't even played the game to warrant them saying that.

Actually, I wouldn't have said it should have ended with 2....
I would say they should have put MORE effort into 3, instead of making it the robot infested, dial a combo, friendship and babality bombarded sequel that it is. 2 had this aura about it that made it this mysterious and enchanting game.  3 robbed the series of its mysticism.

Ok i started to play the game yesterday so i dont no much but i can say...the startin movie was kicka$$ So far i have been learning Scorpion and sub zero and the game relies alot more on little ocmbos now as you can easily be broken out of big ones.. yes i said broken. it is preety cool i like the noob smoke basically is that they switch in and out of fightin i dont want to say much i want you all top play and tell me I LIKE IT let the record state i like the game and idea but i havent played it for more than an hour yet it is really cool. And the new people is really a merge of old people as sf3 did you will see when u play. . i DONT know if it has movie endings as last boss is really queer aka dragon king aka ONAGA                    

[cereal_killer]

wait game come out monday and he get it already?                    

[TrinireturnofGamez]

if i remember correctly  N00b Saibot was very Uber in MK III  . SHadow freeze then transport behind and murder .                    

[TaC_uP]

Rain not in the game? ........                    

[unforgiven]

nooooo i picked up the game but when i reach home to play it my x-box stopped working                    

[ShinSagat]

horse tell me when allyuh see d startin movie...sorry to report no movie endings                    

[TriniXaeno]

I have high hopes for this game

haven't seen it yet but the graphics for it's predecessor owned!

The gameplay didn't quite live up to the graphics. I found the basic moves sucked and looked gay for the most part but the combos kicked brass.

That's always been an issue with MK so I guess hoping for it to change in the switch to 3D was asking a bit much.

Are the basics more fluid and van damme looking this time around??                    

[ShinSagat]

horse well honestly compared to deadly alliance the combo system trickier which i like.. being frantic will get u killled

you can lose a round in a few seconds.. if u get knock of d right edge with a uppercut YUH DEAD  lol real crap but when yuh block yuh have 3 what they call breakers... if u press forward while blockin yuh knock him back out of his LONG combo so das why when people blockin yuh hadda go for d basics in hopes yuh hit him.. The use of special moves, which really gone back to their roots (yes barake blade fury is back, scorpion teleport attack, mileena tele kick and rool) and help u alot when makin yuh own combos. Also when yuh hold forward it is pressure sensitive so is like runnin without actually runnin just walkin faster.. LUI KANG may be back i see his name in real code crap but with no way to unlock him but he may be there never know..

so far i lovin d game especially konquest which is like a really crappy rpg lol .. e.g you have to find meat to give guard.. butcher is right there. havent tried chess yet but all in time                    

[New Era Outlaw]

Ah, fudge. If what you say is true, that Liu Kang may indeed be coming back, then my respect for this game and the whole premise of the Deadly Alliance intro got knocked down a few points. I seriously hope it's Konquest mode you're talking about, because they did say you'd encounter every character from every Mortal Kombat there.

By the way, it's LIU Kang. I before U. He's no 'Louie'.
Also, try not to give EVERY single thing about the game away, ShinSagat.
I'm looking forward to getting this game myself, although several things I had HOPED would take me by surprise had just been spoiled for me.                    

[Arucard-D]

I have no problem playing Deception. I wouldn't buy it though hehe.
I still find MK3/ Trilogy is the best MK game ever.                    

[ShinSagat]

horse i give yuh facts bout gameplay trust me there is alot to be seen i am sorry if i spoil too much this is d effect of buyin a game too early I wont do it again                    

[New Era Outlaw]

Nah, it's okay. I know how it is.
There's no harm in telling us how the game is like, but try not to give too much away....you know, add to the suspense a bit, so we'd get the same reaction when we get this game. Later down the line when a little more people have seen and gotten used to this game, you could delve a little bit more into it, and discuss strategies, endings, you know, stuff like that.                    

[Bob]

Baego Jean Claude van damme has never been known for his fluidity.He fights the same exact stiff way in every movie.

Fluidity like Jet Li i can understand but Van damme  come on.                    

[New Era Outlaw]

WARNING! SPOILER ALERT!
Seriously, if you don't want to kill part of the game for yourself like I did (unfortunately), please scroll as quickly as you can until you see "End of Spoiler." Or better yet, don't read this, because nearly the entire post is a spoiler.

^^^^^^^^^
This has some very useful information on how to do some of the fatalities and special moves for each character. But that's not what called for the spolier. THIS is:

Sorry, Imperial. It appears Aeris still holds on to her title as the only person immune to a Phoenix Down.





































*END OF SPOILER!*



I SERIOUSLY HOPE this is false info I'm reading here, or Midway has just lost some serious respect from me.
NO, Midway. Just....NO.

mortal kombat chess! kick ass

finally something to replace Battle Chess from DOS. Loved that game.

lol @ stiff vandamme.

hoss, I don't mean fluid as in prancing around the place like a girl, I mean fluid in terms of the execution of the kick, punch, etc... Just the one move.

In MKDA, subzero kicked like a panzie. The movies didn't look "Van Damme" like.
When Van Damme kick a man is a proper, well formed but dread looking kick ihmc.

MK as a whole always had lack lustre lookin basic moves with the exception of the overdone uppercut. The Jump Kicks looked horrendous.

They need to take in some Jet Li and Van Damme kick ups and mimik those.

You know which game has a mean jump kick in it! Tekken 4. Kazuya Mishima HCF and RK pwns!!

More stuff like that is what I am talking about.

Level jump kick to craw.                    

[AngryBastard]

BAAWWWW!!!!my boy Kenshi in it....
Blind Swordsman iymc....
Telekinesis...:D
kenshi is a bad man..
Overall this game has a lot of new characters :shock:
but looks good... can't wait to see any sneek peeks                    

[Mugsy]

[Bob]
