Mortal Kombat 9

Fun is more important than winning. Both should be achievable. Both are achievable. The fact that in this aspect of this game they're mutually exclusive is a game flaw.

Games must be fun. If they aren't they are objective failures. This one aspect of this game was a failure.

BroSmash seems to miss the entire point of video gaming.

Fun's a matter of personal opinion, just like I sometimes find Kahn fun to fight depending on who I'm using. This discussion is pointless.

Aww, Skarlet's evil apparently, based on her ending here. Was hoping her alignment would be good..

There's gonna be a new trailer of her on Monday btw from what I heard.

Seemed more vengeful than evil to me...

No. I mean evil in the sense that Shao Kahn is her master. She did what she did to Quan Chi in her ending only to avenge her master that Quan manipulated her into killing. Therefore she's evil by default.. 🙁

I like how she can absorb the strength of those whose blood spills on her body though (in this case Shao Kahn and warriors of the Brotherhood of Shadow). Really is a unique ability.

Says the person who's biggest concern is getting a thrill out of the final boss fight.

It's not a game flaw. You can find other fun features in the game but looking for it in a boss fight is usually not the best place to look.

Every feature in the game should be fun. If it's not fun then it's pointless. If your benchmark for success for a game is that it simply needs to be able to be beaten then there has never been a bad game ever made, because every game can be beaten.

I have a game to play, it's called smashing your head into a brick wall. To win, you just smash your head into a brick wall. That's all you do. You're able to beat it, therefor it's a good game.

So why not just go up and down on the game menu? Maybe that's fun too. 🙄

I don't expect boss fights to be "fun". I expect them to be difficult. It's more of a test than anything. I think Shao Kahn does his job well as a boss and even though he's not the most difficult boss I've ever fought, he's also not one I'd want to be fooling around with either.

These are some very well made avatars for all the character endings. Granted, if I am to use one of those here, I'll have to save and resize it to 100x100. Now which one to use... mmm

Good for you.

Honestly, even if fighting Shao Kahn isn't fun, there is, for me at least, a sense of satisfaction when i do beat him, easily/cheaply or not.

Yeah, same here. That sense of satisfaction makes it all worth it for me in the end, more often than not.

Especially cos I never got the chance to beat him in MK2. So it was a big deal for me...

New Skarlet trailer.

😆 Proof that Mortal Kombat online is srs bsns.

Finally a good episode....

It's all right, but I wouldn't say it's the only episode so far of its caliber.

I think the series has been pretty solid so far. I liked the recent episode more than most (due to getting to see some more powers).

Some fans are so hard to please....ugh

I think the series has been very good. It reminds me of the late 90s MK live series that was also a hit. Too bad WB didn't want to increase their budget. Fond memories...first time I ever saw Kristana Loken as Taja droolio

What do other fighting game fans get? Complete shit animes meant to tie-in to the current games and that is IF, a big one at that, we are lucky.

Hope the series gets enough following for more and more episodes.
