Bloodier and Gorier, but also deeper than usual. T His game looks far more substantial than usual.
The Plum and Only
I know. Shame I have to keep myself from pre-ordering it, since it'll be about £40-£45. I'm surprised, I asked them and they said you only have to deposit on preorders if you are getting a big title...
I don't know whether to Squee or Suick about the game. Maybe both!
Also, Johnny Cage looks like he'll be more of a monumental douche.
Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.
Which will make him more fun to beat the crap out of. I dunno where they got the idea he was the main character.
Think they're gonna try for a good explanation of why Kratos is there, or are will they just treat him as a guest fighter?
The Plum and Only
I don't know, and as a 360 gamer, I don't particularly care.
But on the subject of Cage, I love beating him up, but I hate killing him. Feels like I'm murdering a misguided movie star.

Thank God, an MK 9 thread not started by Miru.
So who's willing to bet you can finally feed opponents to the Living Forest?

Finally? MK:SM not counting?

I mean in a fighting game. Shaolin Monks was a beat-em-up.

I have a message from another time...
The Plum and Only
Nice one...
Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.
All I want is to play as Smoke. That's all.
The Plum and Only
I reckon Noob looks damn cool in HD. (Yes, my mind went to Noob when Smoke is mentioned. Yes I did play Deception before anything else.)
Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.
Ahh Noob. So cheap. So very cheap.
Well... technically...
The Plum and Only
Noob comes free with the game, can't get much cheaper than that!
Besides, if anything's cheap, it's the way I spammed Icy Teleport => Icy Counter in MK vs. DC, keeping them guessing about whether I'll beat the shit out of them of let them beat the shit out of me so I can beat the shit out of them.
Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.
Noob is not cheap at all.

Spam is expensive.
Anyways, how do we not have this thread already? WTH?

That's what I was wondering.
Thumped for switching the discussion from the topic to a person.
BTW, why do people keep saying that the dismemberment isn't a gameplay mechanic? You rip off their arms, they can't punch anymore, they need to get by with kicks. Thats a gameplay mechanic.
Burn
That sounds horribly broken. Mind showing a gameplay video of it?
The Plum and Only
Do you mean the X-ray moves (if your arms are broken they don't work)?
Just like in the movies.

It's 300 missions, done like the Event mode in the Smash series. They appear to include everything from Test Your Might to winning a fight when neither player has arms to playing beanbag toss with Stryker's grenades. In addition, there's a zombie version of each character as well.
Je Suis "Aware"
Man, I didn't think it was possible to go Bloodier and Gorier than Mortal Kombat otherwise, but wow!
