This has to be said. Yeah, DA looks cooler, has extra content, has better new characters. But it's not a real MK game. It doesn't play like MK. It doesn't continue the arcade legacy. It's stiff and awkward. Fighting style change gimmick is worse than MK4 weapons gimmick.MK4 is a true MK game and a continuation of arcade MK games. It's fluid and fun. The arcade version doesn't even look that bad, Legacy Collection finally does it justice.
>>12140725>It's stiff and awkward.>It doesn't play like MK.
>>12140725It was lost on all but me that the DA cover fashions a Scorpion kunai like V as the roman numeral 5
>>12140987Hey, I noticed it a few weeks ago for the first time. Better later than never I guess. No idea why they just didn't call it Mortal Kombat V: Deadly Alliance though.
>>12140725The version in Legacy Kollection lets you raise the internal resolution which makes it a lot more bearable. I only watched a video but it made me curious to try out the game. I've never played it
>>12140987I was underage b& when I first played Deadly Alliance and I didn't see it until just a few years ago.
>>12140725>mfw op wasn't a faggotDeadly Alliance was the beginning of the end
>>12140725even though i played every game until skipping armageddon, i basically consider mk trilogy the last real mk game. mk4 and onwards is kind of its own thing to me and not something i want to revisit, whereas i can play some of the original three arcade games still.
MK caught lightning in a bottle because the blood attracted the puritans. After they made 3 they should have just kept it the same, give the gun gimmicks only to certain wrestlers, and just add more toons
>>12140725Fuck off retard nobody plays mortal kombatStop shitting up the catalog>>12140725
>>12143676>nobody plays mortal kombat>Stop shitting up the catalogThese statements kinda contradict each other ngl>Anon is mad that popular games are still popular years later
>>12144064Maybe he's born with it
MK has been ruined now with sonicfag environment, mk1s retarded reboot no one asked for, wb now selling up and sony of all people wanting to buy them.They ruined the final part of mk11s story but they fucked up MK completely with mk1
>>12144075It's an alternative universe thing, it doesn't matter. They're just going to reboot it again due to poor reception.
>>12144081It wasnt an alt universe thing. It was ching Chong kang rebooting the universe even though he could of simply used his time powers to go back before kronica nuked everything outside of her castle
>>12140725>It's stiff and awkwardSo it's exactly like Mortal Kombat? I dunno why anyone ever pretended MK played as fluidly as Street Fighter or Doa. Actually I do know: muh gore.
>>12144159>DoaNobody played that japslop ever
>>12144164>million-seller
>>12144172Because Xbox only had four games, no fighting game players bought it
>>12144182Right, it was a multi-million seller before the series even hit the Xbox because....uh......no games on Xbox or something
DA = soul calibur ripoufMK4 = peak 90's 3d soul
>>12144446This.DA doesn't play like a classic MK game. The moves are completely different
>>12140945MK4 is pretty fluid. Which is quite unexpected, still hard to get those combos down though.
>>12144662Yes. It's also really fun to play
>>12140987No, I got it too.
>>12144075>MK has been ruined now with sonicfag environmentarabs own evo now there's already talk of troons and troon enablers not participating. Hoping more circuits and tourneys take the saudi dosh and the rest of them just self exile.
>>12144446>soul caliburit's kinda crazy that Ivy is hotter than every MK girl
>>12144075>MK has been ruined now with sonicfag environmentMK isn't even close to Sonic's level. Not until someone makes the fucking MK Dreams Collection.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-QSEZ7ltX4
>>12144182I love seeing fags cry and shit themselves over MK and DOA. The real enjoyable fighters of gaming. No one will ever give a shit about yoru 4000 hours in "the lab" in training mode practicing a combo you'll never hit because you drop it in your local tourneys and lose a grand prize of a $50 store credit. The FGC is such an embarassment.
>>12140725Mk4 sucks and Legacy Kollection is crap. Buy an ad tranny
>>12146949>The real enjoyable fighters of gaming.You seriously need to try other fighters before saying such dumb words
>>12147310You need to back the fuck off if you know what is good for you.
>>12147310I've played SF, GG, KoF, MVC, Tekken, VF, Skullgirls, KI, Primal Rage, Clay Fighter, Shaq Fu, etc... and I always come back to MK and DOA. Keep whining like a baby, I will never care.
>>12148058>Keep whining like baby>While posting mk's biggest bby character GEG!>>12144446Da = soul caliber but better4 = complete shit>>12146423Wake me up when they give mk to people who acutallly like mk and not crossover shit
>>12148058Nobody cares what you come back to
>>12148074MK4 = MK3 but 3DDA = crap
>>12140725>DA looks coolerdeadly alliance was absolutely hideous both in art and animations
>>12143676Damn son, you big mad.
>>12148058>COOKING WITH SCORPION
>>12140945Pick one
>>12144446DA is peak 2000s soul, mk4 is great late 90s soul. thanks for outing yourself as a tryhard zoomie.>>12148268no. its still has the best uniformed art direction from that era. best fighting mechanics too. its a great game, prefer it over soul cal 2.
I don't really get the love for MK4. It's so homogenized and generic compared to 2 and 3 that it really feels like they had no idea what they were doing when they made it, which makes sense since developers were still coming to grips with 3D at the time.I wouldn't call 4 unplayable, but it absolutely doesn't have the magic past MK games have, especially when outside of Quan Chi and Tanya the new cast was basically trash.
>>12149974MK4 has classic MK mechanics. DA tries to be SC but is nowhere near as fluid
>>12150021MK4 isn't that loved it's generally considered the worst. I think because of that more people are revisiting it and realizing it wasn't quite that horrible. Like you said it played fine, but at the time it was pretty much a huge letdown just like the second MK movie, that whole year felt like a letdown as a MK fan, and it was the end of the original era as it were
>>12150169you're really gonna diss my boi MK4 like that
If Johnny Cage stuck a fork into the toaster while it was still plugged in, he'd have a Deadly Appliance
>>12140987It also incorporates the D and A initials of the subtitle when rotated
>>12151090I never would've thought that put that much effort into it
>>12151185It was probably one of the last things Tobias oversaw before Boon fired him for sucking off the interns in his office at Midway.
