TMRNetShark:
Has anyone else picked up this game yet?

The return of one of the blood and gore filled fighting game is thankfully a  great one. The game brings me back to my Mortal Kombat II days on the Sega Genesis. As I am typing this, my thumps are shaking (from the pain of awesome combos) and this has to be one of the best fighting games that has come out in a while. I appreciate and like Street Fighter and Marvel vs Capcom... but none of them compare to how awesome this game is.

Not only that, but my favorite move in general is not a Fatality... but Kratos' X-ray move

Anyways, has anyone got the game yet? If any of the BakaBT PS3 owners want to play King of the Hill or regular matches, add me (once PSN is up obviously). Xbox 360 fans are also welcome to discuss the game and set up matches against each other!

Now... Finish him!

Here's my $0.02

Whilst I haven't played MKIX, My memories of Mortal Kombat are of a poorly made, shallow and wooden fighting game. It's only redeeming feature was that it was so shallow it wasn't broken (compare to MvC which is so broken(lol roll-tier) it somehow manages to work again...No I don't like it either) IMHO Mortal Kombat is just a gore fest, not a fighting game

TMRNetShark:
Gore fest? Definitely... Brutal? Definitely..

Not to ding on other fighting games, but some of them are pussy as hell (DoA) and some are too slow (SF). To tie in to anime, I love Blazblu with all my heart, but there aren't many fighters and 2D sprites isn't where it's at. Mortal Kombat, I think, really brings fighting back because no one looks perfect after a brutal match. Yes the story is totally out there, but at the same time, the combat is right where it should be. It's not too fast like Blazblu and it's not too slow like SSF. X-ray moves are easy to execute on the controller, but you have to time them well to hit. Fatalities also give the presence of Astral finishes from Blazblu while still having the epicness of Mortal Kombat's gore factor.

Maybe you aren't young enough to remember playing Mortal Kombat at the arcades and the whole "Kill of the Hill" aspect of winner plays again. I've been in deep freeze since the 3rd game and all I know is the 9th one is Godly.

Meh I STARTED with MK3 so w/e.

I can totally respect the DoA hate and SFIV hate. I can also Totally respect the Blazblue respect (GG was awesome, too bad it's over, but BB is Just as cool IMO) SFIII however was godly, as was Alpha Three

I'll probas rent 9 to see what's what. Maybe they've fixed it...
