And thus ends the story of the loyal fans that followed the MK story through many years, arcades and home consoles just to have the MK team flip them the finger during its conclusion.
Less than Flawless Victory
FATALITY
Now that's what I call an impressive debut for a first post!  Oh yeah, and as honest as it gets too.  I know how you feel. A lot of us do.
Thanks for the warm welcome!
To be honest folks, and believe me when I say this is coming from a hardcore MK fan, I'm not really that upset they have canceled the remaining bios.
What I'm REALLY upset about is the total cluster f*%ck that is the Armageddon storyline.
If you think back to how rich, deep and well written the storyline of the first three MK games were, I can almost weep when I read the ridiculously ludicrous endings that were thrown together...er..."written" for the so called conclusion to one of my favorite franchises I have followed religiously through the years.
And in closing, to say they can't finish the bios because of the need to focus their resources on other things is somewhat understandable.
However, what is NOT understandable is how they could release a game that is not completed in the first place.
Do think they could release Medal Gear Solid or Halo 3 with half the story released in small bits and pieces at a time through a website, six to eight months after the games release? Oh, and by the way were going to get half way through and just say screw it...
Oh well, time to break out the SNES and remember the good old days.
I agree with you since you put it like that. The game should have never been released incomplete, its much better to delay a game and finish it up and make it the best game possible then release an incomplete game (take a lesson from Miyomoto's Zelda series Midway).
Having said that, I was happy that they decided to release the bios online, I would rather have them online than not at all.

Unacceptable. They sacrificed the final chapter and everything in the story that led to the conclusion to have a story centered on a minor elemental and two generic brothers. Everyone else had to have a place, but, hey, who needs details? Just throw them all in together and forget the past storyline. Just have a big war centered on, again, a minor-character elemental being.
And has anyone considered that maybe we did not get bios because of the wondrous joy that is Motor Kombat?

Sad news, but we never stop our work to fix the worst mistake in all entire saga!!!
MK with decent Characters w/story >>>>>>> Other non-MK Fighting Games >>> MK game Much Characters without story
Any MKAr Bios >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Meat, Chameleon, Motaro, MoKap, etc...
WE WANT BIOS, WE WANT ALL, AND WE WANT THEM BEFORE MK8!!!!!
True Fan => Loyal fan that knows what really means in the saga, and prefered story and better gameplay than f'n lame characters...
Fanboy => Obsessed fan, or fan that thinks that Scorpion's spear is better that all the story...

Does it matter? She was later included in the exclusive remakes MKG and MKU.
No bios? Oh well, we'll just wait for MK8. Maybe that game will have more than some story development.

And with this last news, I think Armageddon has win the prize of Biggest Disappointing Chapters for the fans... I hope MK8 will explain all the holes in Armageddon storyline and will present a really good story just like the pasts...

This is sad.
Although I haven't read any of them. So this doesn't matter much to me.
Then Midway, focus to the Mortal Kombat 8. Make a great game engine so that you can make several MK games by that engine. The engine is very important!

Midway disappointed many fans, they have a lot to make up for with MK8. If you didn't know, they are using the Unreal3 engine.

you mean unreal2007 there was a unreal3
and the graphics engine on that sucksall it does is give something a tone of dark and gritty and anything in the light glows like humans glowing not that much in the realism department. it like covering everything with k&y jelly and painting the shadowed parts on the walls black.

Just got an update about MKA Bios.
The Mortal Kombat team is focusing all of its resources towards development of the next Mortal Kombat game for next gen consoles. As, a result no additional MKA Bios are being created.
Cinder
Well at least theres going to be no more bio topics now.
How wrong you are. Seen the amount of complaints?

Yep.These topics of bio's are getting annoying even though Cinder and Dv8withn8 have both confirmed it.People just can't take no for an answer.

Saddest news ever...
Obviously that I want a great MK8, but this is b*ll****.
For me, MK has the best story in the all fighting games, and this is one of the main reasons that I prefer to play MK games although they don't have the best fighting gameplay. I have zero-interest to fight with Paul against Kuma (Tekken) or Jeffry McWild against Lau Chan (Virtua Fighter), but I love to fight with Li Mei against Quan Chi, Noob Saibot against Sareena or Mavado against Kenshi because of the storys, combined with a aceptable gameplay...
But if MK is supposed that has worse fighting gameplay, and his story is non-existant like other fighting games... Which is the reason to play to this game? Fatalitys? Big Large Roster? No one... and the main example of this is MKDA (for me, the best MK until today), with a decent roster, combined of classic and news characters, with the best storyline... decent gameplay (like most of past MK) and half-rushed Fatalitys, but the people love it (+3 Million sales)... yeah, in the following games we had gameplay improvements (thank god), and better Fatalitys (respect MKDA), and we had extras like mini-games (I like them, but not only the MK fans, but also much fighting games fans, we prefer things like TYM...) and "better" Konquest (the MKDA one was better (Training Mode + Storyline details) than the MKD one (rushed like "Fable" and with some plotholes/confusion because of the non-good connection of the Konquest development ones and the storyline ones...) and MKAr (better than MKD in every aspect, but half-rushed with things like the lack of storylines...) but like the storyline, the interest was going down (as the sales)
I want improvements in the gameplay mechanics (things like Combo Breakers, Parrys & Wake-Up were great additions), but not at the cost of the storyline.
The MK games would have to be: 40% Gameplay (this includes the online gameplay part), 40% Storyline (this aspect also includes a great selection in the roster), 10% -alitys, and the rest with other things (like TYM) or to upgrade one or the to main things, like another characters (good tied in the storyline), another scenario (this is also important to be related in the storyline of the games/characters) or more gameplay modes (offline and/or online).
And for the Armageddon:
Without the bios:
Gameplay: Great offline but not online = 8 (3.2)
Storyline: Worse (Innecesary (for me) largest roster ever, and lack of the big part of the storylines) = 3 (1.2)
-Alitys: Good concept, but without a great implentation: 5 (0.5)
Other Things: Good Konquest and KAK, decent minigame: 6 (0.6)
Note: 5.5 (No more than a decent game...)
But, with the bios:
Gameplay: Great offline but not online = 8 (3.2)
Storyline: Good (Still innecessary largest roster ever, and not the best plot ever, but with a good explanation of the appeareance of all of them, and without the best endings, but acceptables) = 7 (2.8)
-Alitys: Good concept, but without a great implentation: 5 (0.5)
Other Things: Good Konquest (better with the bios that make more compresible) and KAK, decent minigame: 7 (0.7)
Note: 7.2 (Not the best MK, but a notable game).
And for the hope/hype of the MK fans in MK8:
-Great game (MKDA) to bad game (MKAr without all bios) = Betrayed and with less interest in the next game in the entire saga...
-Great game (MKDA) to notables games (MKD and MKAr w/ all bios) = Thrilled and waiting for a new MKDA or better...
Maybe MK8 will be the best MK in the entire saga, and I will be very happy... but also maybe this can't be enough to "cure" this big injury, because is more hard to fix a betray in the fans than fix any other problem in a game...
I don't know if the main culprit it's Ed Boon or a Midway member with more power than Ed, but both Midway and MKTeam have now his biggest challenge, and isn't clean up the accounts or make the best MK fighting game ever, but recover the confidence of the MK Community, the people that was together with them in this last 15 years, the ones that did that the MK was big and was still alive all these years...
