well let me ask you this, were you a fan of the series during the 16 bit era? you may be too young to have been gaming back then, im not sure. if you were, then im sorry, but i think its harder to understand what old school gamers are really griping about with the easy fatalities in particular. it used to be something that you worked hard to be able to do. once you win the match, if you were skilled enough, you got to see this awesome scene of blood and gore, and it was really humiliating for whoever you defeated. if you loved that aspect of the game, and were wanting to experience that with MKX, well, its pointless now because anybody can just press a button and make it happen. so for a lot of us, it changes the enjoyment big time. |
I'm 30 years old now, I don't remember my age back then but I do remember that I was kid(maybe 9 years old). I was able to do fatalies in MK1 and MK2 with ease especially MK2. I played with my cousin and other friends that were over 20 old at the time and they did plenty of battle with me because they considered me competitive enough considering my age. Now I don't know if you remember but I also had MK3 and also remember that there was a cheat code that enabled easy fatalities with one button, now if you are complaining that they are selling the cheat code instead of given them up, that's another story. Besides like some has said, fatalities comes after the victory, would it make the defeat less painful if you know he did the fatality like it's supposed to instead of 1 button fatalities?. the option is still there for the purist. If you play with friends, you can still do it as it's supposedd to. if you played online, who cares if the person use the fatalities with 1 button, not everyone has the abilities to do every fatalities and you have to considered that this is a fighting game that also attract casual gamers.
I just hate more when the DLC is a pay to win or remove from the game an integral part of it like an anticipated mode that they intentionally removed it to make people buy it. I dont have it yet but from what I have seen, this game is a complete game for $60. It has a story mode, plenty of characters and another mode that I forgot the name. It has more stuff than most MK games to date.
