Marvel is cool, but it can basically suck DC's fat dick for all I care. The only difference between the universes right now is that Marvel is much better whoring itself out to movies, games, and the like. And of course we all know Tiberius's opinion. Still, if I were him, I wouldn't so readily commit to not buying it until, oh i don't know, it gets a screenshot or two. Maybe a gameplay video?

But all the same, I'm not expecting it to be good. Midway has made a plethora of good games, but their biggest weakness has always been, by far, Mortal Kombat. The series is lacking in everything that made games like Street Fighter and Guilty Gear so good: 1) characters with unique personalities and playing styles, 2) balanced, well-crafted game systems, 3) relevant features that enhance the nature of a match. Ed Boon has this ill-conceived philosophy that conflicts with all of that. In his mind, a good game is one where you press a series of buttons and make something cool happen. That's rubbish. When you're playing to win, the objective is to beat the other player, not pull off a circus act to entertain a crowd of people watching you play. That's just what Mortal Kombat has become. The more serious you want to play it, the worse it gets. What makes anybody think this game will turn out any differently? Ever since X-Men: Children of the Atom and Marvel Super Heroes came to arcades, I've been wanting to see the DC characters in a similar game, not only to play all these great heroes against one another, but to do it while learning to master a whole new game and enjoy playing to win at the highest level. I'm upset that DC wasn't smart enough to hand their characters to a more competent developer like Capcom. Had they done this, we could've had a DC game that was worth a damn. In fact, we could've actually gotten MARVEL vs. DC, as Capcom had actually planned on making it when they still had the Marvel license. It won't happen now because DC just fed the wrong dog. At best, I'll probably rent the game when it comes out just to see all the endings, being the DC nut that I am. I won't even look at it beyond that.
