Can anyone explain to me why the Joker's eyes glow when he performs a fatality???

Yeah, that definitely needs to be removed. It looks weird.

If you watch the whole video he explains why. You can go into some kind of like fury mode or something that causes your character's eyes to glow.

EDIT: Err nevermind...I thought he was just in Rage mode when he did the finisher, guess not. No idea then.

I think I posted about this after E3, but whenever any character pulls off a Fatality or Brutality their eyes glow like that which I thought looked real dumb. When they showed us Scorpion's Fatality and Superman's Brutality they both had the glowing eyes and it seems it is something that they did not get rid of yet and probably will not since the game is coming out soon. I hope it may have something to do with the story, like the characters are somewhat possessed when they do those moves but I may just be trying justify it to myself. Hopefully you can turn that off in the options but I doubt it.

What they don't tell you is that the "velvet" used in the "velvet box packaging" is actually ground unibrow from Ed Boon's face.

Scroll towards last few seconds of the video for Superman's Brutality.

[sendme]

I really hope they patch this so that you can turn that off with the eyes. However I wont see it much unless I play online because I have never really been able to do a Fatality or Brutality. I may have done 5 with out having to use a one button code.

Here is a minor update, its another shot from Story mode which features Quan Chi as a NPC.

ya, i see and hear about some things I dont like so much. But I still cant wait to play this game. I'm a MK fan, but havnt really seen a really good one since part 4 on N64.

sry, but my opinion. XD

[The 7th Number]

I heard hector said there was gunna be 2 fatalities or 2 brutalities per character. So thats good.

[H4Knewb]

oh nice.. sounds good to me. and as for the glowing eyes. apparently I heard its part of the story mode. About them being taken over their will.

Not sure if true tho. :\

[KingofOldSchool]

Its been revealed that, amongst a long list of other changes to go from an "M" rating to the much easier to market and sell "T" rating, the Joker's fatality in MK vs DC has been changed and now the actually shooting occurs off screen. He still pulls out his gun and has the "BANG" sign come out, but there will be an abrupt camera jerk to take the action off screen and have the Joker do the deed to the poor sap away from our innocent eyes.

Apparently this is one part DC wanting to not "tarnish" their characters too much in this version, as well as Midway wanting to actually sell some copies, as the series has become rather disappointing in terms of sales in recent years and this is basically boiling down to a publicity stunt to move as many games as possible.

[LinkinPrime]

...and with that...I will no longer be purchasing this game. Fucking weak!

[bardockkun]

How can this tarnish the Joker? Seriously?! This is like kid's stuff compared to Dark Knight and all the shit he did there.

And will a T rating really change anything? Mortal Kombat has been synonymous with the M rating and controversy and I think alot of people will automatically assume it's an M rated title anyways.

That is a bit ridiculous. The Joker is a psychopath. Harm is what he does.

This game just earned "maybe" instead of "definitely" status. Street Fighter 4 and Ultimate Ninja Storm will sate my fighter needs well enough.

It makes you wonder what else they censored and dropped to get the T rating...

The issue of fatalities should have been discussed early in production, not at the last minute. This game has moved from "interesting but probably mediocre" to "complete failure" for me. Way to really drop the ball Midway/DC. :applause:

[Pure Apathy]

Well I've also decided I won't be buying this game with the new fatality news. I also made a YouTube video to show everyone what I believe the new fatality will look like for The Joker.

Haha, that's why I included the warning message and didn't have the strobes to pop up unexpectedly. I didn't want another incident to happen like the one in Japan with the Pokemon TV show. I'm sure this video will get under 1k views though.

[Richlough]

I could never remember the fatalities anyway .

I still want this game , so there .

Yeah , I said it .

[eastx]

Yeah, memorizing fatalities is 0 fun for me. If they were simple like special moves, then I'd use 'em. I always expected this game to be rated T, so cutting down on the violence is no surprise to me.

For me, it isn't that the violence has been cut down necessarily. It is that a developer showed a few months ago some video of Joke shooting someone in the head and defiantly claimed "So there you have it, this will NOT be Mortal Kombat lite!"

He looks like an idiot now.

[CouRageouS]

I never intended to buy this, I'm only interested in the DC half anyway. I'll just try it out through Gamefly. Maybe if I'm lucky they will include a DC only mode or something :lol:

You're not supposed to stare into the strobe light. You are supposed to make the video full screen and dance around the room while your CPU monitor acts like a strobe light. 8-)

[Lord_Kefka]

Wow. Talk about a double water down. You have two major strengths here, the DC license and the classic Mortal Kombat brutality.

Sorry if anyone disagrees, the the violence was what "made" Mortal Kombat. It definitely put it on the map. It sure wasn't the strength of the fighting system back in MK1. Street Fighter 2 was still sucking all the quarters there. I personally still don't like the combat system due to the stiffness of it and pretty much feeling like it was a competition of stringing together special moves endlessly. So now you've taken away the fatalities and wasted all the work the developers put into them for a license.

The other half is what this does to the DC characters. I wasn't a big fan of the game concept but Sonya Blade killing Superman didn't hold much for me. So DC comics goes to protect their characters by not letting Superman kill, but he could be killed? I could see this failing to sell based on it just not being a good match for the characters. It felt forced.

Kudos to the developers for the character models and what I've seen of their powers. It looks like they did the best they could but I'm guessing this is another title that we see go quickly on sale.

Agreed. The arguement in the whole MK vs SF thing back in the day was that SF was a cartoon and MK was "so real". Kids loved the blood and you can also thank MK for all the grief violent video games got in the media back then.

I said it when this game was first announced, but they really should have released a stand alone DC fighter first. Follow the Capcom model. They're trying to capture both DC/MK audiences with this, but it seems more like they're alienating them with some awkward mash up. It may have been more rewarding to have a DC fighter where people say "oh cool its like MK except with DC characters". That way we get a feel for it and it establishes the characters in this engine. Then it would be less of a stretch to combine the two.

Its sort of weird that this game has a really small roster. The DC side is basically just the JLA, a couple Batman/Superman villains, and then Captain Marvel. I would have opened the floodgates if I had access to the license. And also, Superman looks weak as fuck. I liked how in the trailer when he gets knocked back by Scorpion he says "magic?" but they should have made him beastly. Capcom represented beastly guys like Hulk/Juggernaut/Colossus great in their fighters. I would have liked to have seen Superman represented in a similar fashion. It looks pretty shitty for him to be knocked back from a weak strike.

Also watching that video where they show the specials moves is pretty funny. "Hey look we gave everyone a teleport move" :lol:

[bardockkun]

Something seems really off with everyone if they think it's a good idea to have Joker as part of the team (or any team in general). I Was hoping the storyline would write him off basically as a wild card that just shows up to hassle both sides, but looks like they went for the less logical route (as one of the heroes basically).

If you watch towards the end of that video they remark about forming teams. It's not good vs. evil but the Earth of DC versus the Earth of Mortal Kombat. Which to me only cements what I was saying earlier about this watering down the DC side. Comics are VERY story/continuity-centric especially in DC. Hell, that entire storyline pretty much brought flashbacks of "CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS" didn't it? Merging worlds and all that. Yuck. Not the best story to associate with since it was just an excuse to streamline their complicated stories.

[BoneMonkey80]

wow this game is going to be a flop

[bardockkun]

A TON of people are still oblivious to the fatalities being censored now. Like alot of people seem sold on just that Joker fatality and not really looking passed that. Though the whole DC vs. Mortal Kombat novelty is also too much for someone to pass up on, so I doubt it'll be a flop.

[Azumangaman]

DAMN YOU 360 with your region-locked games!
This game is still mighty tempting. Throw in the fact that I can get it for $10 and Its really hard to pass up. Thankfully, I have so many other damn games to play that I won't need this for a while.

EB Canada. Trade 2, get any game for $10.

[LinkinPrime]

Looking at the history of Midway titles...they all seem to be region free...only problem now is where can we score a copy of the European version as close to the retail price of the US version?

[mtxbass1]

How is Midway with past price drops? I'm thinking if this doesn't sell well, we might see a big drop right after Christmas. I know Midway is counting on this game to do well for them financially.

[LinkinPrime]

I'm thinking the same thing with all the great titles out right now, I'll be holding off on this...just canceled my Amazon pre-order.

[robin2099]

First review comes to us via OXM and they gave the game an 8.5. They basically liked everything about it, but said it needed more content.

[genfuyung]

Poor MK just cant seem to get a decent game now a days. I cant believe they cancelled MK 8 just to use the DC license knowing it would compromise what made the MK games what they were. Weak fatalities and stiff god awful animations will be what keeps this game from being decent. At least the last couple had decent fatalities despite the terrible multiple fighting styles and robotic animation.

[guyver2077]

fyi i had to email amazon for them to correct the ship date on my mk l.e

let me know if you guys manage to find the uk version. Will everything work if its region free? Will they be able to play with live us players?

[GuardianE]

let me know if you guys manage to find the uk version. Will everything work if its region free? Will they be able to play with live us players?

After finding out that the UK version is uncensored, I'm very much interested in this information. That's just infuriating.

[destinywaste]

I'm not liking the T rating they gave it. MK game without insanely outrageous fatalities just won't cut it.

[Owen]

Even if the UK release is region free, won't the game still be in Pal rather than NTSC so you may have some other picture issues or does the US Xbox have the ability to convert Pal to NTSC?

[JohnnyFoxDarko]

It will be PAL but that doesn't seem to cause an issue, I have a US 360 and a UK one and play PAL/NTSC games on both with no problem, on both HD and SD TV's

I might pick up the UK version when I'm in the UK over Christmas, with the exchange rate the way it is it won't be that expensive. Might even get lucky and be able to pick up a pre-owned copy.

[Collectordragon]

What online stores carry UK games and ship to the US?

[benjamouth]

Amazon.co.uk might ship games to the US they're not too clear about it

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId=11072991

There's always Ebay.co.uk I guess, can't think of any other online shops that are likely to ship to the US.

[Richlough]

They should just sell a Mature rated patch for this game .

[guyver2077]

more important is if the uk version can play online with the us version.

Most probably it cant so i may have to stick with us

[benjamouth]

I could be wrong, but to my knowledge the only game that stops US/Europe online play is Army of Two.

I play games with friends in the UK all the time and have never had a problem, that includes Midway games (Hour of Victory, Blacksite).

I suppose if the code for the fatalities is different they might try and stop US people seeing the UK versions :-k

[LinkinPrime]

If my calculations are right $45 USD before shipping :-k

I didn't think there would be a problem with online play, but now I'm worried there might be.

[LinkinPrime]

I don't plan playing online anyways...I suck at all fighting games.

[benjamouth]

I don't plan playing online anyways...I suck at all fighting games.

Yeah me to, I guess I'm more likely to want to play with people in the UK anyway, so maybe I'll be better off getting this version.

[LinkinPrime]

Just gotta wait for confirmation that its region free...If Midway history is right...it should be.

[ryosnk]

It would be kool ( :) ) if Midway implemented the code used on MK 1 on the genesis to uncensore everything.

[akilshohen]

They should just sell a Mature rated patch for this game .
This, and the ESRB would change the rating to M when you download it

[JohnnyFoxDarko]

Yeah, that would be great.

[Jimbo Slice]

[Richlough]

This, and the ESRB would change the rating to M when you download it

I was thinking more this way ,

Online Rating Notice

Online-enabled games carry the notice "Online Interactions Not Rated by the ESRB." This notice warns those who intend to play the game online about possible exposure to chat (text, audio, video) or other types of user-generated content (e.g., maps, skins) that have not been considered in the ESRB rating assignment.

[Ice2Dragon]

So.. after seeing some pictures of the "limited editions".. anyone who buys them is a complete sucker.

Paper sleeve, tiny ass comic book.. go with the regular edition guys :( Seriously.. for 50 bucks at cc you cant beat it.

[mastagoalie]

but for real, I hear the UK version is not censored, so I am importing on this, and in all actuality I will pay less for the game shipped to me that i would have paid for it new in the store

edit: here is where I think I am going to order from

Amazon.co.uk might ship games to the US they're not too clear about it

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId=11072991

There's always Ebay.co.uk I guess, can't think of any other online shops that are likely to ship to the US.

Amazon UK will not ship video games to the U.S. None of the international Amazon sites will to my knowledge. Here is the list of video game delivery restrictions for Amazon UK:

"Software, PC & Video Games, Toys & Games and Gift items

[Ch33pSh33p]

This game's going to awesome but the fatality censorship sort of pisses me off...As that's the best part about MK.

[JohnnyFoxDarko]

The US Joker fatality isn't that bad.

I didn't think anything was censored on the genesis. I thought on the snes it was sweat or made to look like sweat but not on the genesis.

EDIT: Also the new Joker fatality does not look as bad as i thought it would but still the uncensored one is better.

[Brak]

Based upon early impressions I've read on the Internet, I find it disappointing that there isn't a Kollectables system.

[JohnnyFoxDarko]

Yeah, from what I've read there aren't many collectibles/unlockables to warrant replay value.

The game is released tomorrow, right?

[whoknows]

The US Joker fatality isn't that bad.
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=QX-PoVM5vM8

It's not awful, and it doesn't really bother me. Missing that half second isn't going to get me to pass on the game or import. It's not that big of a deal.

[JohnnyFoxDarko]

Yeah, it really isn't.
If it's just one or two fatalities, then I'm fine with it.
Unless there's a whole bunch more blood and gore in the Euro version, I'll be fine with a US one.

The only other fatality I can think of that's censored is Deathstroke's.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxP6p722U3k

[whoknows]

Not a big deal either. I mean, the fatalities are already pretty lame, so that might be why it doesn't really bother me.

[Wolve11]

the acting is kinda lame in the story mode. I love how Liu Kang's MK emblem is used as a holographic image projector ala Star Wars' emperor scenes when he talks to Sonya. It kind of seems also like some characters served absolutely no purpose in the story and were just kind of tacked on. Sadly enough these characters could've just been omitted in lieu of better ones.

[JohnnyFoxDarko]

Seems like not alot of people I know are getting this game.
Let me know if anyone is down for some rounds.

[genfuyung]

Kanos fatalities are absolutely the fucking worst. He has a LASER EYE but his fatality is rolling on top of the person and then jumping up a bit? really? wtf

[whoknows]

I thought Liu Kangs fatality was pretty funny and unexpected

[GenghisJohn]

The thing that worries me, the game forces you to play with the piece of shit d-pad, im concerned

Anyone try the UK version on a US 360 yet?

[Ruined]

Screw it, I'll be the guinea pig.

Sendit.com has the uncensored UK XBOX 360 and PS3 versions for $45 shipped to the US! I've ordered much from them before, they are very reliable and fast.

Pre-ordered a 360 version - apparently past midway 360 games were all region free.

Nice, I think I'll bite too.

Edit: Ordered, my total was $42.51

[JohnnyFoxDarko]

Yeah, this game is pretty good. I played a few games with Seanr and some ranked matches.
It feels alot more fluid than the previous titles and isn't polluted with arbitrary stances and weapons.
The story is stupid as fuck, but it's still fun seeing the MK and DC characters interact.

[Ice2Dragon]

I cant find a link to sendit for the ps3 version, damnit -_-V I wanna know if its region free and uncensored

[LinkinPrime]

Wrong thread I2D ;)

[Ice2Dragon]

Oh psh, its the same game. I found it.. I wanted ps3 brother wants 360.. so it technically is the same thread. So hush :)

Are we sure these are region free? Im fairly certain all ps3 games are but arent 360 region coded?

If not, ITS MINE!

I think you can Azumanga.
I'm thinking of picking on up, too. :-k

[Undertaker4eber]

I swear Im having a very hard time pulling off most fatals and brutalities. The only one I can pull off all the time is Scorpions toasty. I dunno if its the dpad or Im doing them from the wrong distance or what it is. I have played MK forever now and have never had as many problems as I have with this. Hopefully it will just come with practice on the 360 pad. Game is fantastic though.

I think its a crap shoot, but hey life is short. Will be a fun $42 gamble.

It will be interesting to see if you can play with other US people on Xbox Live using a UK copy. Keep us posted when you get the game.

[Ruined]

Will do. XBOX Live is all P2P, so my guess is that I should have no prob playing with US gamers. This seems to be backed by what others with foreign games are stating on forums.

Worse comes to worse I'll dump it on eBay and take a loss, but IMO its worth the gamble to beat censorship! :)

[maaddmax]

Is there a list of how to do the fatalities? I hate not knowing how to do it. I am really enjoying the game, both story mode and arcade. Game plays very good for me and I have to play with the D-pad.

I was looking for the UK version. Thanks for the link I will order today.
I just bought the a PAL version of Guitar Hero WT for $40 and it works fine plus I downloaded some songs and they worked without a problem.

I do also think you are correct in stating mostly all midway games are region free.

[LinkinPrime]

Does the game have a one button fatality cheat code like some of the old ones had?

[flybrione]

I did a search online and read that the UK version is region free.

[JohnnyFoxDarko]

Now, why would you want that? [-(

[LinkinPrime]

Now, why would you want that? [-(

Because I suck at doing the fatalities...they make them too complicated.

From the videos that you posted, seems like they removed that lame ass looking glow in their eyes when they do the fatalities...which is awesome!

[guyver2077]

so everyones ordering from sendit? also are there any uk reviews up?

[LinkinPrime]

You know what would suck?...If it turns out that the UK version is the same as the US version :-|

Actually, I hadn't even noticed.

I'm sure it is not the same but it was still cheaper for me to import than buy it new here.

Character specific endings in Arcade mode consist of nothing more than a piece of character artwork with narration.

One of the original xbox games definitely had cutscene endings. And as I recall they were pretty cool. Cool enough to make me suffer through beating the game with every character.

Ok we get it that you don't like this game or MK in general apparently. Do you have to keep talking about how much you this game sucks since some of us do actually like it?

Oh I enjoyed MK back when it was good. I'm just letting people know what the reviews say to try and save them some money/disappointment. Everything I've said is just in the reviews. Dont blame me. Go spam the IGN forums or kotakus comment section. People should know what they are getting before they buy it. Just like the idiots on the gamefaqs boards who were told over and over that the Kollectors edition came with the game in a paper sleeve. Everyone who warned them was accused of being a troll. Then yesterday the board lit up with people saying "Omg game comes in paper sleeve waaaahhhhh bawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" :-({|=:-({|=:-({|=

See the problem with that though is that if people are looking for impressions on the game, that's not hard to find. They could go to just about any message board or even check gamerankings or IGN's reviews to get game play impressions.

Right now though you haven't played the game, you just randomly take things from message boards to say that the game sucks, and that MK sucks even though you haven't even played the game.Henceforth your basically trolling.

You do realize that there are two story modes with numerous, fleshed-out cut scenes, correct?

[genfuyung]

I didnt when I wrote that but my point still stands. I do like the cutscenes of the story mode. A lot of the voice work is meh but the action is good. I was kind of disappointed that the action packed fight that takes place before the ending was just shown as a picture. I was excited to see something like the intro to shaolin monks. A nice big battle. Oh well. Dark Khan is pretty nasty as well. His death is odd. Do they ever explain why he dies the way he does? Ive only finished the DC storyline and I dont think they explained it there.

[whiptcracker]

I personally think it's great. The game is slimmed down from the last gen MK games, no more mini-games or Krypt, but the game is the first one that feels like a sequel to the original Mortal Kombat games. I'm a fan of the series, even the dial-a-combo system of the last gen. But the fighting system in MK vs DC has more in common with the 2D games. It's like a mix of what was good about the originals, mixed with some new content and characters from the DC Universe.

Sure, fatalities are toned down, but people were upset about Armageddon's create-a-fatality system, so you'd think people would at least be sort of pleased by the return of character specific fatalities/brutalities.

It's a lot of fun if you were ever a MK fan. But I hope in the future they ditch the DC Universe and use the same fighting system to make a full scale MK game.

Good to hear. I will be picking this up today after work. The game looks great, and seems to play well too imo.

[GenghisJohn]

Hey guys, i got the game from gamefly today so no instrcutions again. Any idea how the combo breaker system works?

[Chase]

Daaaaaaaang. Giant Bomb gave it a 5/5.


I am not surprised. Ever since they first got their hands on the game, they have seemed to love it.

It's similar to IGN loving the WWE Smackdown games or 1UP loving Motorstorm.

[GenghisJohn]

I'd love to play any CAG's send me an invite!

This game is great. Got to Chapter 3 on Story (DC) and played 11 matches of Online.
I LOVE the Joker/Jax.

[whiptcracker]

Hey guys, i got the game from gamefly today so no instrcutions again. Any idea how the combo breaker system works?

There will be a yellow bar under your health bar with two sections on it. When one of the sections are full you block and press forward to do a Kombo breaker, like the previous games. If the bar is full you press both triggers to enter Rage mode.

[genfuyung]

You know who should be a DLC character? Harley fucking Quinn. And reptile.

[KaneRobot]

I was going to skip it entirely but I'm a pretty big MK mark so I know I won't be able to resist forever. I'm all over this...once the price goes down. Just can't justify the 60 bucks for it right now. Glad to see mostly positive feedback though, I hope we get a straight-up MK sequel that builds on this now, rather than a sequel to MK vs. DC.

[whiptcracker]

IF they start selling DLC characters I will definitely refuse to buy the game till its $9.99 used bargain bin. They can just prepare for the backlash.

besides Street Fighter 4 is around the corner, exactly how many people will be playing MK vs DC or any other fighter for that matter when SF4 comes out???

You mean like how SC4 sells Darth Vader, which just basically unlocks him off of the disk? What do you think DLC is for?

You are also just wrong about the same animations for Free Fall Kombat and Close Kombat, and in general. Some of the same uppercuts and sweep kicks are there between characters, but the animations for combos between characters are different. You might want to rent the game first so you can compare Joker's punches to Raiden's punches and then try and compare the animations between them.

Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter are two completely different fighting games.

If you don't like what you see of MK vs DC, and don't see the point of getting the game with SF4 around the corner, why bother posting in the thread at all?

[genfuyung]

I will buy MK vs DC for $38 bucks used at GAmestop maybe $19.99 $59.99 LOL No Way especially when each character no matter if its Batman Superman or Sonia share 85 of their animations and movements with each other.

All kicks same all punches same, all close combat moves same all free fall combat same. all dizzy animations same, stun same. MIDWAY destroyed themselves by being the lazziest Dev in the world


YEt for some reason MK vs DC has an charming appeal of Batman punching JOker etc that is very appealing

a few girls that I know that are 100% zero gamers are asking me when I don't have it yet because they want to play as WonderWoman and Catwoman fighting Superman. And they urge me to go buy the game so they can play.


MK got a bad rap during the last 3 games because each character had 2 diff fighting styles. Like Escrima and Mua Thai, but regradless of the style picked It was always the same kick the same punch the same throw the same landing same death drop. MIDWAY went overboard cutting corners. But in a way coming from me having play MK 1 back when it first came out.

First off, Why are you here? Stop Trolling

Secondly, I would welcome that. Im a huge comic book fan and a long time MK player and this fits both of my passions. Their Roster is already huge but it would awesome if they could add the likes of Black Canary,Green Arrow,Red Tornado,Martian Manhunter,Hawkgirl, and throw in some left out MK old schoolers like Johnny Cage and Reptile and ill pay for that.

I just rented this game to try it out...but its definitley going to warrant a purchase from me. Getting rid of the prior fighting system and making it normal again..makes the game flow so much better. Also the visuals and shear detail they put into all the characters amazed me. They just didnt half ass that like they did with armegeddon.

The Cut Scenes and thought out story line is nice. I like how they play off the DC multiverse with throwing the realms in to the mix. Im switching ISPs so when i get back up...ill surely welcome a match from someone...although i dont think im too good at this. superman ripped me a new one numerous times.

They want to hear different impressions of the game, not from someone who's basically picking random negative impressions from message boards and saying how much it sucks, when most reviewers have seemed to enjoy it.

And you call me a fanboy? This from someone who had done nothing but talk about how much he hates this game, hates MK, and now claims that he's beat about a quarter of the game. Yeah you have no room to throw around the fan boy comment.

Oh for fucks sake. Here, since you cant understand how to check someones gamercard Ive added it to my sig. Feel free to give it a click and see that Ive beat absolutely everything except the god awful kombo challenges because the 360s dpad is shit. Is there anything else I can help you with?

[genfuyung]

That review was actually pretty good. Changed my mind at least. Looks fun and great visuals. Now my choice is do I get it for $19.99 or Fallout 3 or Fable 2 at Toysrus because they honored the Madden 09 deal for me over the phone. but said I can pick any game I want for $19.99 instead since Madden 09 is still out of stock.

Or do I buy MK vs DC at Gamestop for $55 used - 30% and use a $30 gift card and just Pay $8.50 for it.


Hmmm.......what to do the cheap ass gamer in me says go the Gamestop route and get Fallout 3 at TRU for $19.99

Fallout is definitely worth 20 bucks and MK vs DC is definitely worth 8.50.

[integralsmatic]

just finished both DC and MK sides. I like this game except that the 360 Dpad is god awful...i cant complete some combos becuase i either jump forward of backward even though im only pressing forward or back.(i hope that made some sense).

So who does everyone like to use? Im liking most of the DC side but im loving Kitana right now.

[tenzor]

Yeah the game is actually very well done. I just wished they would've included more characters, and made the story mode longer. (Oh wait, I forgot that these days in order to get more characters and story we have to pay for that) :lol:, but the game is good regardless. Highly recommended from me.

[JohnnyFoxDarko]

Usually Joker from the DC side and Subzero from the MK side.

[Azumangaman]

I haven't used any MK characters yet, but my favourite characters are The Joker and Captain Marvel.

[LinkinPrime]

Anyone's Sendit.com order ship yet? Just checked the status on mine, says "Awaiting Distpach".

[Owen]

Fallout 3 is a Game of the Year type game where MK Vs. DCU will not be. With Fallout you can just do the main story and skip all the side quests and pass the game in a decent amount of time (probably 15 hours or so). I have taken my time and done every main quest, side quest and extra activity and think I am at about 60 hours with just the last main story quest to go. If you like pick up and play, then no RPG would fit that bill since all quests will take time.

With MK I am waiting hear feedback on how the UK edition plays on the US system but I did have fun playing the game at E3. But with the lack of many unlockables, I do not think this will have the longevity of some of the other fighters out there.

I just received my Kollectors edition copy from amazon but every cut scene stutters and major slow down during gameplay and was wondering if anyone got a copy like that. Also I hate the kollectors edition of the game. They did a bad job on packaging.

[guyver2077]

has there been any uk reviews yet?

[KaneRobot]

I gave in. Since it was 10 bucks off at CC I picked it up.

Not much time into it so far...I'm guessing I'm maybe halfway through the MK story side. Really fun though, as I expected.

[Dynasty1756]

I haven't used any MK characters yet, but my favourite characters are The Joker and Captain Marvel.

My favorite characters on the DC side so far is The Flash and Green Lantern.
Ive played through the DC side in story mode and loved it. Cant wait for the MK side.

Amazon is doing an all 360 gold box deal today. The next one that starts soon only has a hint of "Johny Cage Vs. Ironman".

I'm sure it's not MK Vs. DC because there is no Johny Cage (who spells it that way?) and of course....Ironman is Marvel. Plus it seems a bit early to do a deal on this already. Still, I'm very curious as to what it will be.

Well it is the Collectors Edition for $45.

[Psykoboy2]

Well, I'll be damned. It is MK Vs. DC. Collector's Edition even. $45 bucks.

[LegendK7ll3r]

Really enjoying this game, was spectacle on getting it after hearing all the things they edited and took out, but it really doesn't effect the game at all.

I honestly think this is the best MK game since the Genesis.

[Owen]

Amazon are probably doing the Collector's Edition to get rid of them since so many people complained about the game coming in the cardboard sleeve instead of a real game case.

[Kayden]

My interest was tepid to begin with, censoring the fatilities in a game made famous for gore seals the don't want deal.

I hope playboy will at some point try to cater to a larger demographic by cropping all but the elbows out of the pictures.

You don't buy a Mortal Kombat game for the in dept story or the deep combat system. If you want story, you get an RPG, if you want a deep combat system you get Tekken. MK's strength is its shock factor (which really isn't that big any more, unless your 12 or a mormon.) The old formula became blazze, so they deluted it even further without compensating for its other short comings.

That's silly. You don't want to buy a Mortal Kombat game because of an animation that losses its novelty once you've done it once? I mean, if you're really into fatalities, you aren't going to be inches away from your television explaining to your friend that it was indeed Raidens' brain that is on the floor after a fatality. No, you're going to be "OOOO"-ing in his face.
Even then, at least we have fatalities again. It's definitely a big step up from the "Kreate a Fatality" bullshit.

[CouRageouS]

I'm having fun with this so far, got it from Gamefly popped it in for an hour. Anyone have problems with the story achievements? I just did the first chapter on DC side and didn't get the cheese.

[Lions]

I can rest easy I scored it for $19.99 at Toysrus. Finally Happy.

and to think I almost spent $20 for MK Armageddon used at Gamestop last week.

LULZ
How?

A ton of people are having that problem. Last I heard if you play the story modes straight through then there is no problems. Thats how how I did it and got them all. Apparently starting, saving, and quitting makes it forget what you've done for achievements.

How long are the story modes then to make sure we get the Achievements?

Great.

I got the first two on the MK side but after a while I saved/quit...guess I'll be starting over this weekend and going all the way through in one sitting.

[whiptcracker]

I started, saved/quit, and had no problems unlocking achievements.

[CouRageouS]

Well I guess I'll start it again later and try to do it in one sitting. I played a couple rounds into Chapter 2 and quit and looked up the achievements and saw I didn't get it for finished Chapter 1. Any other bugs I should know about?

[robin2099]

Oh for fucks sake. Here, since you cant understand how to check someones gamercard Ive added it to my sig. Feel free to give it a click and see that Ive beat absolutely everything except the god awful kombo challenges because the 360s dpad is shit. Is there anything else I can help you with?

No. I just find it funny that you insult fan boys but your nothing more then a closet fan boy yourself.

That reminds me of this movie.

[CouRageouS]

Man what crap. I just finished the DC side and it only gave me half the achievements. I don't think I want to go through it again. I'm not even going to play the MK side, probably will just send it back to Gamefly after playing a few more versus matches.

[The 7th Number]

Anyone for some Sonya character damage screens?

Are there Catwoman screens too ?

[danked]

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e336/MikeL1/cag.jpg

Its a superior fighter to Sould Calibur 4 hands down. Story wise as well. Not sure why all fighters these days need a "gimmic" SC4 had the Star Wars tie in. Which really has no point.

SC 4 can't belive people were hyped for this garbage

At least the MK vs DC universe plot is plausible.

LOL yeah I like this game it a lot of fun , but its no were near as good, not even in the same ballpark as SC4..... story is maybe a tad better.

[The 7th Number]

I capped them from a video. I dont have the game, so i really have no idea.

[Ruined]

Popped in UK version, it asked to update, I let it, and its fucking censored. Either the update did it or the title censors based on your live profile locaton.

edit: it automatically switches to censored version on NTSC console even with PAL copy. What a POS.

Well, a fun experiment, off on eBay it goes.

[gsr]

it'd be nice to play a 2-d fighting game one of these days....3-d games are snoozers, and they have way too many moves to learn.

What?! I just ordered it today. Noooooo!!!!!

[Dynasty1756]

The US version isn't censored? Why is the UK version censored?

[Interstella 5555]

I'm guessing you just need to make a UK account so that you won't get the censored update.

[Owen]

The patch was to establish the lobbies, it did not alter the censorship. The game just knows that US systems are censored and PAL systems are not.

[thamaster24]

Anyone else want the Penguin in this game?

I just wish it shipped with more characters, I'll probably give in if they make some DLC.

[Collectordragon]

I haven't bought this game yet but was planning to get the UK version since it didn't have censorship. I wonder if the US version played on a PAL console would be censorship free?

[eastx]

Canceled my order for the European version... I'll just get the US game sometime.

[brother bendu]

I actually like this game. Sure its not MK3, but it is fun to play.

[Dynasty1756]

yea, once ive finished both MK & DC story side, I also wished that there were more characters. Hope they do release more characters for DLC

[brother bendu]

Also the game censors only 2 of the fatalities in the game.

[PhrostByte]

I gave in. Since it was 10 bucks off at CC I picked it up.

How are you guys getting good deals on this? CC clearance?

[Ruined]

It is censorship free apparently, it automatically adjusts based on the region of your XBOX 360... Which is SUPER LAME!

[Owen]

It was $40 at Amazon for Black Friday weekend and many others got it from the TRU Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal.

[PhrostByte]

Kane says he got it for $10 and Ice says he got his for $20.

[Owen]

The $20 one was an item substitution for the TRU $20 Madden 09 deal some got online. Not sure about the $10 one.

That is not cool at all. I guess I should have waited but I still got it at a decent price.

[PhrostByte]

Oh ok... guess I'll wait for a price drop.

[Collectordragon]

That sucks. If you don't go online with your 360 would the game still be censored if you're in the US regardless of which version of the game you're playing? I'm planning to get the PS3 version though. I wonder if it has the same issue?
