I'm glad they stripped the game down to a more basic level. From what I've read, there's no more of the switching styles and going into weapons and that nonsense and each character has their own specific Fatalities as well. That pretty much has sold me there but I'm hearing that there's not much in the sense of replayability. No extra characters, no unlockable artwork, no "adventure" mode, no anything like that. I hear the gameply is more solid though.
 
The IGN review did not say this game is sluggish. Sheesh. They said its fast and fluid, but Klose Kombat slows down the momentum.
BTW, I have friends on my PSN friend's list that already have the game and is playing it.

Does anyone know if the CC deal is one day only?

Also, there is unlockable costume artwork if you finish arcade mode with said character. There is also unlockable characters and hopefully more DLC to come.

Gameplay - 7.5
It's Mortal Kombat for better or worse. Moves sometimes feel sluggish, but the cool ones make up for it. Free Fall Kombat and Klose Kombat deal damage but don't always look great doing it.
 
[quote name='Wblaze']Anyone want to bet how long it takes this one to drop to $39.99?[/quote]

January. Amazon will probably drop it down even more than that.
 
I gather the 'T' rating stems from the fact that DC does not want their characters to impose horrific "over the top" MK violence, i.e.; fatalities. It's the only reason I can come up with as to why the dev team wouldn't make this an 'M' game-- it's the MK staple. Anything less is lame. I'll wait for the price drop to hit in 1Q09 before I drop any money on this title. Looking forward to playing the Joker though...
 
[quote name='rainking187']I've only seen pictures of the PS3 version so far, but if reports are accurate the 360 version sounds even worse. I don't know how it would work exactly but someone that got the 360 version is saying it doesn't even come with a normal game case, both the game and the bonus disc are supposed to be in paper sleeves.[/quote]

You got a link with the PS3 pics? I'm not sure if I should get the LE or regular one.
 
I went to Circuit City this morning and they told me the game wasn't out till tomorrow.....whatever...took they're ad to best buy and price matched the 49.99 price, and went home to play this. The game is excellent. I mainly got it for the PS3 strictly for the better d pad controls. If anyone is wondering it also includes trophies.
 
#1. A Mortal Kombat game NOT Rated M is not a true Mortal Kombat game

#2. A MK game with out decapitations or Spine Rips is not a true MK game.

#3. Character selection is very Limited Armageddon was 62 MK vs DC is just 22.


Armageddon would have been the Superior game but Midway is super LAzy Since they had too many Characters they decided to Re-use too many of the same Animations and gave every one the same Create a Fatality mode, eliminating Unique Fatalities. Ended up looking like everyone had the same Fatality.


I'll still buy MK vs DC but used with a 20% off Coupon plus 10% EDGE card so $55- 30%.

By Black FRiday people will have traded this game in already heck Gamestop already has used Gears 2.




P.S. The Create a Fighter Mode in Armageddon is Amazing you can create real looking Chun Li- Guile Batman Ryu Etc.

Aramgeddon was an unappreciated title a very deep fighter and amazing fighter creation system.

3 slight drawbacks held it back from glory

#1. Lack of true Fatalities
#2. Too many re-used animations
#3. Lack of animated or story driven endings so finishing teh game gave teh player no satisfaction.
 
[quote name='Ice2Dragon']Wow if the info is correct from early reports, the collectors edition is a giant waste of money for the ps3.. just a white sleeve with the bonus cd, tiny comicbook, and a paper sleeve that goes over the case.

Thats worse than Battlefield Bad Company Gold Edition... lmao :([/quote]

I don't think it look that bad. Here's an unboxing of the PS3 version I found on youtube. Is it worth $10, probably not but its not Fable II terrible.

...Some people just shouldn't do videos.....:drool::drool::drool:"Mortal Kombat vs. DC Kollectors Edition for the PS3....":drool::drool::drool: SPEAK UP!!! DRINK SOME KOFFEE..err..COFFEE!!!
 
I shouldn't have checked this thread. I want this game now.
I suck at fighting games, but I buy all them, DOA, Soul Calibur, Tekken, etc. I even have a Hori stick.
I guess I can wait for December when this game is going to be $49 MSRP or less. There should be a $30 sale somewhere. Besides I still need to finish Fallout and play more Gears :D
 
This game isn't a true Mortal Kombat game, it's Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. This game was probably made for two reasons: 1. To help generate sales for a struggling Midway company by bringing in fans of DC that didn't really care about MK in the past. 2. To test things out with the fighting system to see what will/won't work for the next true MK game. That being said this game is very fun.
 
#1. I want this game bad $180 Gamestop credit burning a hole in my pocket bad.

#2. I will wait till Black Friday because by then Gamestop will have it used for $55 minus 30% off Black Friday coupon plus 10% EDEG card thats 40% off.

$33 bucks is good. I can wait. Here in South Florida people play and trade games wthin a week after launch my 3 Main Gamestops near by will have this used within a week.


#3. I will much preffer a True Mortal Kombat game with no DC characters and an M rating. With the same game engine.


Bad thing is Since EA lost the MARVEL Licence and Microsoft canceled the MARVEL MMO.

Word is MARVEL is Considering a Mortal Kombat vs MARVEL game. IF MK vs DC sells well.

Microsoft should just use their unlimited Cash and buy the MARVEL licence and give it to CApcom for some CApcom vs MARVEL exclusive 360 games.

They dont have unlimited cash.. if this game fails theyve stated already that they will be done.
 
Torn on this one. Flashy 3-D fighters haven't done it for me lately as SCIV bored me to tears. But I could see my friends actually attempting to play this one with me, while they didn't care for SC4. It'll probably be pretty decent though. Even with touch ups to the violence, it's not the days of OMG, a decapitation anymore. Violence is pretty common in games nowadays. The fatality shock value doesn't seem relatively important now as it did ten years ago. You'd have to see a decapitated naked boob fly across the screen to get similar shock value it today's era (where half the games seem to have decapitations), and I doubt Midway's got the gall to do that one. It's more important how it plays.

a game with a flying naked boob would be a bigger seller. Hell, Id buy it.

Yeah but in today's economy it'd get any company sued into bankruptcy.
 
[quote name='Ice Cold']heck Gamestop already has used Gears 2.[/quote]
that's because there are actually some people that don't have the luxury of having XBL, and just play games for single player campaigns, so they just finished the single player and traded it in while it still has some value...
 
Mortal Kombat vs DC is the ONLY game that 2 girls have called me about if I was getting this game so they wanted to come over and play it. Because it has Wonder Woman and Catwoman. And a few girls on Xbox Live have asked me if I was getting it. Keep in mind these girls are like 22 years old and 25. NEVER have I had any females asking me about any game EVER.

Even my buddies gf who is a 100% non Gamer asked if I could bring over MK vs DC, I don't even have it. And she like Why not?
 
[quote name='YabMan']I just picked up the game from CC today, and M or no M this game is a fucking blast.[/quote]

\\\ I went to Circuit City today and she told me it doesnt come out until tommorow and cant sell it until tommorow. ///((Even though she took the game right out of the case...and had it right there in her hand..)) :wall:​
 
[quote name='eliter1']I am going to wait and Import the UK version instead. The fatalities are bad enough without censoring them already.[/quote]

the ps3 version SHOULD be region free.. no clue about 360.. i just want the ps3 cut.
 
The truth about MK vs DC. Everyone knows this is true if you have played any of the last 3 MK games Deception Deadly Alliance and Armageddon.

#1.Each character shares at least 85% of their basic attacks and throws with every other character.

#2. Each free falling, klose kombat and test your might is the same with every character.

I don't know if I have ever played a fighting game that has less actual gameplay variety. We have all sen the falling down animations, all the same, stun animations all the same Jazz Hands, dizzy animations all same.

All that negative being said I might still pick it up USED at GS if I can get it 30% or 40% off.

I thought MIDWAY would have changed but they are the lazziest DEVS I have ever seen. Their #1 Bread and butter game and they managed to destroy it via Lazzyness.


Look at Armageddon could have been great but all 62 characters have the same FAtality, and share 90% of their animations with each other.

You said you've played it, but you say you might pick it up used. Way to contradict yourself.
Everyone I know who have played this game have said every character is DIFFERENT, and that Midway has gone quality over quantity.
You have not played this game, so until you do, no one should believe his opinion.

And I love that I went to Circuit City today and the cute girl told not so cute news: "We cant sell this until tommorow.. 11/17, computer wont even let me sell it." :drool:

Idk who your talking to but they are wrong. Read some gameplay impressions from people who have it and check out IGNs review. Every character shares the same basic moves AND animations. The only thing separating them is the skins and "fatalities".
 
Bah! I was really looking forward to this, but after reading reviews and seeing peoples impressions of the game, I'm starting to get turned off. I'm 3rd in the queue line in goozex and I might have to cancel that.

Um... No they don't.
 
Guys, atleast rent it and try it out

I hear people that have heard all this babble from everyone too and was scared to get it, but they got it and now are saying Its the best fighting game they have bought for their PS3, and its very good

But anyway, can ANYONE ANSWER ME WHERE I GET THE 30% off BLACK FRIDAY COUPON?!

lol..I asked like 3-4 times already and no reply.
 
there will be an ad posted you probably wont need a coupon dont worry just look out for the gamestop black friday ad they usually run a buy 2 get 1 free sale on all used games not just on black friday but over the whole weekend
 
last year the gamestop black friday ad was out around the 17th of this month so maybe we will see something tommorow i dont know anything about a 30% off coupon for black friday so maybe someone else can speak on that but just wait for the ad no doubt it will come out in the next few days
 
You know, rather than bickering, why not post citations?

[quote name='IGN']
Beyond these movement commands are the tried-and-true Mortal Kombat combos we've all spent time punishing our thumbs with as we attempt to pull off bicycle kicks and Fatalities. Thankfully, you can scope all of your character's moves and Supermoves from the pause screen, directions are usually pretty consistent on a character by character basis -- Kano and Superman use a lot of down-away and down-toward moves, while other folks will use more toward-toward attacks -- and the moves actually look cool. Wonder Woman's "Gotcha Girl" has her kick the opponent into the air, catch the midair foe with her lasso, and then slam the body back to Earth; Sub-Zero can create a block of ice in the air that'll fall and crush opponents; and Captain Marvel's "Mercury Bearhug" has him grab an opponent from behind, turn the foe so that his or her chest is pointed toward the sky, yell "Shazam!", and watch the ensuing lightning bolt fry the combatant.

Nifty, character-specific moves aren't the only things MK vs. DC brings to the table in terms of fighting mechanics. This addition to the Mortal Kombat franchise introduces four scenarios to the series: Klose Kombat, Free Fall Kombat, Test Your Might, and Rage Mode.[/QUOTE]
