For a nation founded by convicts, they sure are pussies. I wouldn't be surprised if they banned the internet entirely.

I'd print that on the box if I were Ed Boon.

"Banned in Australia!"

The game is going to be totally awful, but banning it is horse shit.

Australia banned porn that contains women with small breasts because they think it leads to pedophilia.

That country went from one of the freest in the world to borderline Draconian in half a decade. Pretty sad.

What the fuck is wrong with them? I don't think even Germany has banned Mortal Kombat, and they ban everything.

Have you been paying attention?

When was the last time a Mortal Kombat game was good? 1995, I reckon, with Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. MK4 wasn't absolutely terrible, but it didn't even hold a candle to the original three. And don't even get me started on MK vs DC or any of the other garbage 3D games in the series.

The new control scheme was ripped from Tekken and super meters were ripped from Street Fighter to give more of a "tournament fighter" appeal. That in and of itself is not necessarily a bad thing, but Mortal Kombat in its heyday was not a tournament fighter and I sincerely doubt the ability of NetherRealms to make a good fighter of ANY sort.

I would absolutely love for this game to be good, but I can't think of a single reason to be optimistic at this point. And the inclusion of gimmick characters and DLC characters definitely doesn't ass blast.

there really hasn't been anything negative said about the gameplay itself that I've seen so the way I see it, I can't see a reason to be so pessimistic.

Huh? No reason to be pessimistic?

Again, when was the last time a Mortal Kombat game didn't blow? It'd be one thing if this were a good developer, or even a developer with an up-and-down history. But the Mortal Kombat team has produced six consecutive games that were sub-par at best and unplayable at worst.

If you want to talk about the game, let's talk about the game. It's a dial-a-combo fighter with one button representing each limb of the character, with a heavy emphasis on juggling. It's a watered down 2D Tekken with Street Fighter's super system, really bad animation and hitboxes that are all fucked to shit.

Not saying there isn't time to fix the hitboxes, but if you watch a lot of gameplay videos you'll notice some weird things happening.

I can still have fun with MK and MK2...but that's it. Jason is right in saying that they haven't made a good game in...well a goddamn eternity. So he has every reason to expect that this new one will be no better.

Kinda the same way I had every reason going into the release of Sonic Colors to believe that it was going to suck...

Sonic had a much better record than Mortal Kombat. For every Sonic '06 and Shadow the Hedgehog there's a Sonic Heroes or Sonic and the Secret Rings. Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 are classics as well.

Sonic is more up-and-down, while Mortal Kombat has just been consistently bad.

if you just play through the team that has Sonic, Tails and Knuckles then it's pretty decent. I never played the other campaigns. Seemed redundant to me. Heroes also had the best level progression of the 3D games. 2 action stages then a boss fight. No hub world, no adventure bullshit, no fluff. Just game.
