They changed the Joker fatality, instead of showing him shooting the person in the head they have it happen offscreen.

why?

They had no problem riding the Dark Knight Joker hype train when they showed the full fatality months ago. That single fatality got plenty of people hyped about the game, and now they tone it down. Have some balls, as the Mortal Kombat franchise is the reason why games are rated in the first place.

Removing the ending to an awesome fatality doesn't kill the game, maybe they can even backdoor the fatality in through unrated DLC. However, this does make it look more like Super Smash Brothers with MK and DC characters, made for a T rated audience and cash.

I feel the same exact way.

When I saw that fatality I was like damn. I showed it to some friends and determined this would be a fun game. By removing it, I have lost interest because at this point who knows what else they toned down.

Thanks but no thanks Midway.

The problem with this game is that it's indeed been toned down to achieve a rating of T. My guess is that getting the game down to that rating was part of the requirement of using the DC Comics characters.

The problem is, it's not truly a Mortal Kombat game if it's not M-rated with excessive blood, guts, and grotesque rearrangement of the human anatomy.

Thanks for the heads-up. I will not be buying this game now.

Re: Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (PS3/360)

Wow, it is a shame they had to neuter the game to maintain that rating. I would rather have another Mortal Kombat game only.

I might rent because I have 3 open slots at GF. But why couldn't they at least give us an adult code like MK2 on the gensis. MK has always been for late teens and adults, screw the kids!

Honestly... some people are blowing this way out of proportion. For one fatality in what could be a sub-par game...

After seeing most of the fatalities, the only reason this resembles MK is because of the "fatalities" and half the characters. What a terrible series the MK games have become.

Re: Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (PS3/360)

I'm hoping that Boon & co. follow through with their promise of a reimagined MK game after this game comes and goes. I'm surely passing on this one.

Re: Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (PS3/360)

I have been playing this game and out of all the characters in the game there was a scene where Wonder Women mentioned Martian Manhunter, was he supposed to be in this game?

Re: Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (PS3/360)

My bro just got this game brand new for 30 bucks which is VERY cheap as games usually sell for 100-140 in NZ. It's a really fun game in 2 player, even though some of the fatalities are pretty lame, and story mode is cool. Easily worth 30 imo.
