Yeah fatalities are getting old. finishers would be a new change of pace. and quit whining about stuff.

I don't think there's really much difference between fatalities and finishers aside from the violent content. Really, there's so much more things to worry about other than some sort of fight-ending maneuver(though I'm not denying the importance of it in an MK title).

Why does everyone seem to assume that the DC fans are the ones pushing for a T rating? It's the company, not the fans.

Regardless of who's responsible, I still think a T rating is part of the reason why MK/DC will fail.

I'd rather give birth to a chair than see an MK vs. DC crossover game. Sorry, but I'm still against MK/DC.  I want answers to what happened after MKA instead.

To really understand the importance of gore, one need only play Time killers. Fighting game, gore, features a limb cutting system and Fatallity moves.Also, crappy gameplay, awfull graphics and unlikeable character designs. Then play Mortal Kombat 3. Same gore...good game! Really! The violence might have been the hook at the start, but without good gameplay, it's just not Mortal Kombat.
Next excercise: Pick any Mortal Kombat game and play it without performing Fatalities. Lower the gore settins, if you can. Are you having fun?

I like my gore the way it is, but MK is still way better than Time Killers. Time Killers was a guilty pleasure for me awhile back, but MK is on a much higher plateau.

Just a thought I had while reading this. Since this is a comics crossover.... have you seen the stuff that can and does happen to people in a comic and notkill them? I think finishers have plenty of potential.

He's likely thinking of comic attacks that look cool, like the Flash youtube videos someone just linked in his topic.

you two guys are killing mk,and that idiot of Ed Boon is following your directions instead of the right direction,alias the way of the old time fanboys that play the game since mk in 1992 and made Midway and Ed boon wealthy.
Mk is famous"famous-famous-famous" popular"popular-popular-popular" for his violence,his comic relief and is joke-gore/splatter finishing moves with "stupid and funny" decapitations,explosions and mutilations.
this elements are the fortune of MK,if you took this awat Mk is fucked hard.
so i don't see why we should have finishing moves..OMG this is MK not Marvel Nemesis or Def Jam icon.
if you want realistical finishing moves play that games,if you want gory fatalities(even tough not realistical) stay with MK.
however just to make things clear..MK does not need childish player that follows the saga from deception or so on.
Midway needs money and for make money(GTA teaches) you have to make scandal,controversial ads and so on.
limiting the violence is the first step to destroy MK
Get over the past...MKTrilogy was a long time ago, things have changed and whining about it isn't fixing it. You can still play MK2 and 3. MK will be fine, and said before - Fatalities are really getting old. We find ourselves not doing them anymore after a month and perform a quick hit to move on to the next match. In 3D, we can't have cool short fatalities like Baraka's Head Chop from MK2 or people would complain about how it's in 3D and they can make it longer and more brutal. Those short Fatalities happen to be the best. I mean, come on - In Deception Scorpion has Subbies Spine Rip...That sucks. There is nothing wrong with finishing moves. What we need is good gameplay with a great kombo system and juggling. Our skill isn't measured in the Fatalities or the rating...it's ALL the match. Like I've said before, stripping fatalities is better than keeping the Kreate-A-Fatality anyway...I'm glad we'll have individual finishers.
repeat if you don't like fatalities just play something else

The Fatalities are played out. We've seen them all a BILLION times before. I think that having to come up with creative new "Finishing Moves" will prove to be fresh and exciting. I can't wait to see how Superman finishes Shang Tsung.
Also, we're not locked into the "classic" Fatalities. Scorpion can do something new.

I love Fatalities, but reality is they aren't essential and get old after 3 views. The only difference between Fatalities and Finishers are death. Just like Ring Outs & Death Traps.
Repeat; Get out of the past, they are GONE.
