So many people are pissed that MK vs. DC won't have the violence or fatalities of previous MK games. They say that it's not Mortal Kombat without them. What's that really mean anyway? Mortal Kombat was never that good gameplay wise. It had a gimmick, which was the violence. Yes, it was shocking back then, but today, TONS of games features graphic violence. Games like Manhunt, and even Gears of War, have surpassed MK when it comes to gore. So Mortal Kombat no longer had anything special about it. But now it does. It's got Batman.
So now that this game won't have fatalities, Midway gets a chance to find some other gameplay element to be the new hook. It's one of those times when restrictions bring creativity. I'm being optimistic about this whole thing.
