IGN Review of Mortal Kombat: Deception - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

Re: IGN Review of Mortal Kombat: Deception

I like the Mortal Kombat games, but I just don't have time to memorize all of the 30,000 moves for each character. And if I went online I would probably just get my *** beat by a 10 year old who sits at home and plays the game all day long.

So I'm going to hit start in the middle of an online match to look at the moves? I don't think my opponent would go for that.

I haven't like the game since the first one and second one. They seemed stiff with they moved in the last one. How is this one?

Re: IGN Review of Mortal Kombat: Deception

Well my Xbox Kollectors Edition came in today finally. I haven't really spent much time with Deception yet, as I was playing the original MK for a while. It's as great as ever in my opinion. Brings me back to when I use to play the game in the arcade. Thank god Arcade Treasures 2 comes out next week so I can pick up the MK2 and MK3 ports.

Anywho, there are a few glitches in the MK port. One stage doesn't have music, and here and there the music may skip on the Pit stage, but other than that, it's well worth the extra cash. It came in a nice slip cover with Scorpion on the cover, some metal card thing, and the bonus disk.

I've been playing the demo of Area 51 on the Deception disk for a while too. I have to say, this game is fun, and it may be a sleeper once it's released in 2005. The game probally won't be near Halo 2 or Half-Life 2, but if the final version retains the fun of the demo, I may pick it up.

It gives you a real sense of panic when tons of the creatures start poring at you and your fellow soliders. The sound and graphics really give off that sense of chaos. The voice chatter is well done too.

Off to play some of the core Deception game.
