QUESTION ABOUT MORTAL KOMBAT

[MattJack]

Quit being a fag, MK is the shit.

MK1-3 were awesome during the Sega/Snes era. Even if you don't like it, you have to recognize that it did contribute to the fighter genre of the day and you could easily argue that it helped the entire fighting genre evolve into what it is today.

Not only that, but it was one of those games that had to take a beating from the man. Groups hated the fact that blood(omgwtf) was in a video game. It was soooo graphic (lol). There was def a fuss that was made about this game.

MK I would argue, in a sense, was the GTA of it's time and (like stated earlier) helped bring not only the fighting genre further, but the liberty of artistic freedom of multiple genres.

Don't piss on my childhood.

I don't know. The series was just boring to me.

but

It was popular, it made money and it was a fighting game. Everyone played the series (at least the first 2) and arcades were bigger back then. It had an impact but at the time Capcom and SNK arcade machines were what I'd always play more of. They were just better in my opinion and the fighting games kept coming. Keeping the need for the mediocre MK series very minimal.
