Mortal Kombat Armageddon

[quote name='-Never4ever-']:puke: They all look fugly. I hope the Xbox ones look better (and that the Xb version's bc).[/quote]

Looks like there isn't going to be an Xbox LE. Kinda makes sense though, as the KE comes with an arcade perfect version of UMK3, and with it coming to the 360, you could see why MS would prefer if people bought the 360 version.
 
I have the Scorpion KE of Deception for xbox. And no I'm not selling it lol. Kinda sucks that they're aren't gonna do it for xbox this time around
 
I still haven't bought deception...I saw the Sub Zero KE at Gamestop today for $17.99 but said "meh" and left...kinda regret it now :lol:

The only thing cool about the Deception collectors editions were the covers (it always annoyed me I could never find one of the Raiden covers; it was exclusive to Wal-Mart and I didn't put a lot of effort into finding it after getting shot down the first couple times). The actual extras were awful.


I did eventually get the Scorpion one (which I think was EB exclusive). I sold it after about a month, once I finished Konquest and unlocked all the characters.
 
We're inching closer and closer to the release date, on EB it says pre-release 10/9. I guess I'll be playing the crap out of this until GoW.
 
[quote name='whoknows']Damn, looks like it comes out the same day as God Hand...looks like I'm going to have to wait on getting MK for awhile.[/QUOTE]


I didnt even realize that... yep, MK will have to go on hold.

I picked it up at the TRU clearance last December, even though it was the Xbox Mileena version that was on clearance (which they didn't have), the guy changed the price and gave it to me for $10 clearance price.

I only wish that new MK would have customizable sound tracks for Xbox so I can use the cheesay Immortal's MK techno music in the game.

With the familiar "MORTAL KOMBAAAAAAAAAAAAT" song that everyone knows, I was expecting a bunch of techno awesomeness. But the rest of the album ends up being in the "so bad it's hilarious" category.

"Oooooooooooooohhhhhh
Chinese ninja warrior!
With your heart sooooooo cold
Sub Zeeeeeroooooooo!!!!!!"


(I'm talking about "Mortal Kombat: The Album" by the way, not the movie soundtrack.)

Yeah, we are on the same page, I'm listening to the mp3's right now. How about the Scorpion song that constantly has him yelling... "Come Here! GET OVER HERE!" over and over again.

And who can forget the Johnny Cage songs " He's cool, he's hot, he's crazy... Here's Johnny CAGE!"

These songs instantly make me laugh and use them constantly to amuse myself at work. Once my co-worker and I had a contest to see who can listen to the whole soundtrack over and over again the longest. It was tortorous, and lasted for 3 work days before he quit and had enough.
 
[quote name='Fatesealer']After part II, I haven't really been drawn in by a MK game. It gets a 'that's nice' kind of effect from me. Nothing I'd rush to get on day one.[/QUOTE]

It's been the complete opposite for me. I've been a big MK nut since I was a kid.

MK: Deception wasn't the greatest fighting game ever, but it is one of my personal favorites.

It's very fun playing any 3D MK game as long as you don't try to think of it too seriousely. It's shameless shallow good fun. I love them personally.

second'd. they're awesome multiplayer games, since a new player can adapt relatively quickly, and theres an insane amount of satisfaction after pushing your opponent off a huge tower.

let's just hope they actually fix conquest mode. God that sucked
 
Well, Konquest mode is supposed to be like Shaolin Monks, which was the best MK game, fighting or otherwise, ever made.

Is chess and puzzle fighter still gonna be in the game?
 
I wish they would hurry and make this BC for the 360.

Shit, the game is next week... I'm psyched. Guess I'm getting this on the PS2 since I doubt they'll make it BC in time... that's really lame.
 
I'm a real Capcom fanboy since SF 2 days in the early 90's but MK has always had a place in my heart for some reason. While I always took SF really seriously and played that game series to death, MK always gave me something different when ever I tired myself with SF. It was MK2 that I have the fondest memories of. MK trilogy was o.k. a nice last hoorah to 2-D MK games. MK Deception is the first 3-D MK game that I bought since the reviews were pretty good and now the game is a great alternative to Tekken, Soul Calibur, and VF 4. I hope Armageddon turns out to be the best 3-D MK to date and I'll definitely pick this up sometime this holiday season.
 
I'm just still aggrivated that the Premium Edition isn't going to be for xbox. I guess thats the price to pay for having a better online service...
 
I hate to say this about this game, but with all the good games coming out this November, if I couldn't get this for 29.99, I would not be getting it
 
[quote name='HumanSnatcher']I'm just still aggrivated that the Premium Edition isn't going to be for xbox. I guess thats the price to pay for having a better online service...[/QUOTE]


mainly due to XBLA having UMK3, and they dont want a premium package to hurt the XBLA sales.
 
Wow, just checked the game's website and they have a video for every character, if you don't know some of them, check it out...
 
i really dont know what to do.. that premium version looks good but i would hate to buy it for ps2... on top of that the xbox version is shipping like 2 days after and its not for sure bc
 
Didn't MK;DA and MK;D get the backward compatibility treatment recently? Theoretically then it should be a simple matter to make Armageddon BC, since it's the same engine.

That's what you would think, but MS is dragging its heels... I have a feeling that sales are going to be hurt if they don't make the Xbox game BC. I mean, they leave out UMK 3 and don't even make an Xbox premium edition because it would hurt sales of UMK 3 on the 360, but if Armageddon isn't even BC what's the point?

They better make an announcement soon or else it'll be PS2 for me. Can't wait for this game, I hope they don't blow it.
 
it sux that im even considering the ps2 version.. fuck microsoft cmon and announce its bc.. im getting umk3 anyways on live but whats the release date on that? if i get the ps2 premium it comes with umk3 right with no online mode..

it sucks already that the x version is shipping later

It doesnt even look like you get the pre order bonuses with the xbox version
 
The guide is being made by Prima... does anyone remember their horrible MK Deception guide? It didn't even list fatalities!!!

I believe they said Midway told them not to add it in there or some shit, I remember they had some excuse as to why their guide sucked, but I hope their Armageddon guide lists every move and fatality right from the start.
 
So does anyone know where the premium edition with the regular cover is going to be besides Gamecrazy? I want to buy the premium edition, but I'm not really in love with any of the covers.

Not sure if this was mentioned earlier in the thread, but keep in mind the PS2 game ships on the 9th, while Xbox version comes out a week later. I'm waiting for a ping back from Midway to see if it will be BC.

Eh, screw it then, I'm not waiting another week to play this game, I guess it's PS2 for me. I also want that bonus art cell you get for preordering it at EB / GS and that's PS2 exclusive as well, the Xbox version comes with no bonus.

I'll be on the same boat as you with this... if it's not BC, then PS2 version, but if it is, then Xbox for me.

That would be a ridiculous amount of Fatalities:D
 
[quote name='thamaster24']That would be a ridiculous amount of Fatalities:D[/QUOTE]

Has it been said how many each character has? I'm hoping it's two per character, which would be a ridiculous amount.

I remember MK: Deadly Alliance only had one fatality per person, and that sucked because some of these fatalities sucked.
 
Are there still friendshipalities or babalities I can't remember what they're called, but I remember a long time ago when MK first came out getting a few of those and being confused
 
And I hope they do have more than one and they list them in the guide, but I think I'll being using create-a-fatality more than normal ones

I thought they got rid of character-unique Fatalities.
 
[quote name='Brak']I thought they got rid of character-unique Fatalities.[/QUOTE]

They have character specific enders to their fatality chains, last I heard (though I just now read it on GameFAQ's).

Nobody really knows for sure.

I had no idea the character specific fatalities were completely taken out... my interest in this game has gone down alot, hopefully a review will hit before Tuesday.
 
Is this due in stores tommorrow, or is it just shipping tommorrow?

Midway is calling it Mortal Monday, I think, but that seems stupid if it SHIPS tommorrow to be in stores on Tuesday.
 
[quote name='Trakan']I think it only ships tomorrow. Xbox version next week.[/QUOTE]

Eh, retarded, why bother calling it Mortal Monday then.

I just hope some reviews come out with some character specific moves in this whole create a fatality nonsense, or else I'll be passing, a large part of MK for me WAS the specific fatalities.

I'm deeply saddened.

I feel ya, but if this create-a-fatality is good then I'm ok, I'm really just buying it to play with Chameleon

From what I've seen, the create-a-fatality will be fun for a little bit but will get old soon.

I've heard rumors both ways, that character specific enders will be (like Scorpion's Toasty) and that there are NO character specific enders. I'm sorry, maybe I'm a bit shallow but I played MK for the awesome fatalities, no other reason.

Yeah, I'm still hoping the character specific ones are there... it adds a nice touch to the you just got fucked up ness

I'm concerned how the big fire guy, Blaze is going to feel, I hope he's not the I can give you massive damage by hiting you once, kind of character

And I'm already guessing I'll use Chameleon, Nightwolf, and Sub-Zero the most
