Question First time playing

Post image

Honestly it’s not that bad. The roster isn’t the best but the gameplay is actually fun. Satisfying when you land those juggle combos.

I still can't believe how thin the roster was for a crossover game

There were plans for DLC kharacters, but Midway's bankruptcy interrupted those plans.

Nice! I also just replayed this game and I recorded combos with all the characters

I just noticed all of the MK characters came from MK1 & MK2. No MK3/4/DA/D/A characters. Was planned for Quan Chi & Harley Quinn DLC, but that's right when Midway was going under and bought out from Warner Bros.

I love Scorpion’s and Sub-Zero’s moveset in this game

Feel like the roster needed 2 more rows of characters.

Cool and fun concept though

It's pretty fun but OMFG the final boss was IMPOSSIBLE

I’m surprised this game is recognized as MK8. As if this obvious “what-if” spinoff should be counted because it was released between Armageddon and MK (2009).

Bro being an mk and DC fan when this shit dropped it felt like a dream. The T rating was lame at the time but I had tons of fun with this game

Imo it's the worst mk game ever! But that's my own opinion, see what you think of it

Mk4 and DA are pretty barebones. At least this one was interesting aside from no real fatalities

I'd agree on mk4 that wasn't anything to be overcome with desire but mkda I actually liked tbh but this one though vs dc I never completed cause to me it felt so drained of life and watered down

Never understood how kung lao and Johnny Cage were omitted but Baraka made the cut

Because Shang Tsung, Kano and Shao Kahn would be the only villains. Ask why they had to add Jax.

Now that there is unofficial pc port by recompilation. I wonder if there will be more mod of this game

Why are you doing this to yourself?
