Some Complaints I Have on Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition

Image
Okay this is a great game but I thought here are my following complaints: 1.) Why do I have to pay for the pass to play online?! Other than that, I am pretty fine playing offline. 2.) Here's what I thought about the Fatalities: I wanted to have Kano's skeleton pull returned in full 3D. I wanted to have Sonya Blade do a really bloodier version of a kiss fatality. I wanted to have Kabal's head inflate fatality. Heck why remove the head first then mutilate the body? I find that part crazy. I sort of wanted fataliteis that prolonged the agony of the victims. I wanted to have Shang Tsung's fatality to steal souls!!! 3.) Gameplay Gameplay is fine but I do want to complain about the following: Goro, Kintaro and Shao Kahn aren't playable outside hack. I would have been happy if they were then tone them down like they were in Armageddon in terms of damage rating. Shang Tsung in the Ladder can morph- it gets MIGHTY annoying to fight him with his morphin...

The Snake Cult In Conan the Barbarian (1982)

Image
Conan the Barbarian (1982) had one intriguing plot known as the Snake Cult. The villains were first introduced with the movie version of Thulsa Doom commanding his soldiers to massacre the Cimmerian village. The massacre is very real and brutal, unlike the sanitized version that came during the 1990s Conan the Adventurer cartoon. They carry the two-headed snake symbol with the two heads coming together. They massacre the adults and sell the children into slavery. For me, it didn't make sense to sell the children to slavery rather than just murder them all to ensure no new generation can rise against him. The cult isn't heard from again until later. The outskirts of Zamora have been invaded the Snake Cult. It's stated by a merchant that two to three years ago - it was just another snake cult. Now, it spreads everywhere. The evil towers are everywhere and now it's at Zamora for a reason. The worship of Set the snake god has now spread everywhere while Conan grew up as...

Conan Adaptations and BAAAAAD Sequels

Image
Well here's a list of some series in America that started out good but suffered from really bad sequels.  They are... Conan the Barbarian was a successful, really plot intense film.  Yup talk about the coming of the age of the Snake Cult where the evil snake sorcerer Thulsa Doom had begun to lure people into the worship of Set involved in many sinister activities like orgies and eating their murder victims.  However it was succeeded by the bad sequel called "Conan the Destroyer" which really destroyed hopes of ever having a third film.  The second film was really lame... so we have Malak who is useless and it suffered from one bad review to another.  The same mistake happened in the Conan cartoon adaptation. Conan the Adventurer was so good it lasted up to 65 episodes in Conan's quest to liberate his parents from the spell of living stone that the high priest Wrath-Amon placed upon them.  In fact, the engaging plots where Wrath-Amon seeks to free the ...

What I Thought of Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition's Events

Image
The story of Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition (or MK9) was this... it happens after the events of Armageddon and Shao Kahn got too powerful after Taven defeats Blaze. So everybody kills each other and Armageddon wasn't prevented. Shao Kahn even defeats his former emperor Onaga and then finally defeats Raiden who is weakened because the latter wasn't in Earthrealm. Shao Kahn defeats Raiden but before Raiden defeats Shao Kahn, he utters the words "He must win..." sending a vague message. Presumably after Shao Kahn descends into madness, a reincarnation cycle occurs to where Raiden sends memories of his past life into his next life to prevent Shao Kahn from ever conquering the realms again. However in the next life, Raiden has become idiotic to where one mistake after the other kills people. The events made me think this game should have been called "Mortal Kombat Reincarnation". So we are taken to a different turn of events where everybody is either reincarnat...

Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition vs. Tekken 6: A Comparison

Image
Well I felt like it's time to weigh which party game kicks ass.  So now I'd do a comparison on the more touchy areas than just the graphics and music because both game rock in those areas.   Now here's my comparison: Fighting System: Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition (as well as its previous version Mortal Kombat 2011) goes back to the realm of 2D style fighting meaning no nonsense sidestepping, it has a button for each limb quite similar to Tekken plus it has really accessible gameplay.  Tekken 6 on the other hand retains the 3D movement which can sometimes be great but can also get annoying for some.  However I do have a hard time judging which is better since they both have very different approaches- Tekken focuses on REAL martial arts and projectiles (if any) are NOT a spammer which makes Tekken 6 a little more accessible than Mortal Kombat 2011.  For me, I'd give this a tie.  But I would say both games are very accessible to noobs while having a deep...

Tekken 6 for PS3

Image
Well here's one game I'm pretty mixed- while it's still a fun game but I just had a thought Namco's TQM or Total Quality Management hasn't been done very properly here. So here's my thoughts: Plot: Tekken 6 features a very intense story. So after Jin Kazama beats his zombified great-grandfather Jinpachi Mishima, he goes berserk and basically throws the whole world into chaos. When Kazuya who currently controls G Corporation battles his son Jin Kazama for control of the world, the two evil stars (devil gene holders) trigger the resurrection of Namco's most badass unplayable boss Azazel. Woohoo! So the whole world is in chaos and Jin Kazama declares the sixth Tekken tournament which much will be talked about. Gameplay: This is very important indeed. I did think while I was playing Tekken in the past, Tekken had its crown firmly held due to his accessibility that goes down to deep gameplay. It still keeps smooth controls that makes it a fun game. Howe...

Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition for the PS3

Image
Well, I guess it's time for me to review Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition komprehensively now I'll be writing everything Kombat-style in this review.  So this is the PS3 version, komplete edition to which you can already play with Freddie Kruger, Skarlet, Kenshin, Rain, and Cyber Sub-Zero from the start (while the Story Mode still erroneously says you unlocked Cyber Sub-Zero and Quan Chi when you achieved something. =P  So I'd like to give my komprehensive review. Plot:  The story is after Armageddon and it is an alternate dimension or perhaps a cycle of rebirth.  So everybody died in Armageddon, Raiden seeks to strike Shao Kahn at the past or is it?  It's more like a cycle of reincarnation later, the MK timeline was reborn and things re-occur differently.  Much has changed like for example, some characters who were supposed to be in MK2-3 were in the MK1 part, Sub-Zero becomes a cyborg instead of Smoke in his next life, Kung Lao got to fight Kintaro in t...
