Zero Punctuation: Mortal Kombat
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
So the best thing to do for fighters is to essentially turn them into a punchy version of the Madden franchise?
Dear me. What could possibly go wrong.

Lots of Australians have the game.farq1414 said:
When it really comes down to it, Customs don't open every package that comes into the country to look at it directly and try and match it up to a huge list of banned content/materials.
Hell, an Australian online store called ozgameshop had it in stock (Not that it lasted very long, and they're useless when it comes to re-stocking)
I just can't get my head around why so many fighters are so same-y. Why has the design of 'memorize esoteric combos in a side-angle perspective' hardly changed in two decades?
Apart from being piss-awful, Final Fantasy Dissidia seemed like a step in the right direction. Three dimensions, quick and responsive platforming; it was like Kingdom Hearts or Devil May Cry if they had multiplayer. I want more of THAT.

I wonder what Yahtzee thought of David Tenant...
So yeah, neither Yahtzee's review not the fact that Mortal Kombat is being banned in Australia really aren't going to have a lot of impact on my decision not to buy it. Still, funny one this week. I did audibly laugh at the challenge tower thing.

BAH! That opener was HILARIOUS! XD
Whether or not Kratos was put added to the roster as an act of "desperation", I'm not ashamed to say I've fallen victim to the ploy. I wasn't even considering the game (never was a big Mortal Kombat fan in the first place) until I saw the one+ minute trailer of Kratos kicking MK character ass. I mean, I still haven't bought it yet: I'm waiting for it to come down in price (Kratos isn't worth $60 unless it's his own game, and not one he's just featured in), but I am going to get it. Sooner than later.

Dissidia was an RPG masher.teknoarcanist said:
Tourney players don't want games like that because spacing attacks and movement becomes too guess-y with Dissidia's camera style, not to mention there's very little mind work going on in Dissidia, it's very much a Rock Paper Scissors game.
And because Tournaments, and tourney players in general are GREAT sources for cheap/free marketing for the game, Capcom and Namco became very good at creating a middle ground where both casual players and Tourney players can really enjoy SF and Tekken (As opposed to Virtua Fighter, which Casual players completely ignore these days, or Soul Calibur, which tourney players laugh at, but is never played super-seriously anymore)
HOWEVER.
Tourney players worldwide all agree that Virtual-ON, a game with dissidia's style, but with a huge focus on long-range combat, is an incredibly good game, it's the casual players (The one's who enjoy Dissida) who, for the most part, didn't care about Virtual-ON, which is a big reason there's been a lack of "innovation" in Fighting games in the recent years.

I haven't been into fighting games in a long time. I traded in a couple games and got this game for $7.33, and I'm not disappointed at all. I wouldn't pay full price for the game, but $40 would be the most I would. There is quite a bit to do in the game to keep you entertained.
Either way, This review, like all his other ones, entertained me.

The new Doctor is bloody awesome, nearly Tennant class.
Didn't really enjoy this review tho, didn't entertain me like others have

Oh wait, this isn't youtube.
I think I got a "I'm feeling too old now" + "too young" at the same time. Never watched the doctor thing, and missed the latest adaptation.
Hmmm...I'm probably not getting this game.
