It scares me to think that Ed Boon is given a position of power in the video game industry when he still operates under the delusion that there's anything remotely edgy about Mortal Kombat these days: I mean, when people are "eh, whatever" about Kratos ripping off some motherfucker's head with his bare hands, you know violence and viscera alone just don't cut it anymore. Hey Ed, maybe instead of trying to titillate retarded redneck manchildren who never grew out of the "I LOVE RIPPING DUDES' HEADS OFF BECAUSE IT FREAKS MY MOM OUT" phase of their lives you could design a fighting system that isn't dogshit.

But seriously, someone please take this series behind the woodshed, tell it about the rabbits, and blow its fucking brains out. Jesus Christ.

I'm taken aback by the mere use Twitter and "edgy" as an adjective for describing this sort of thing. It's the kind of middle marketing buzzword that screams detachment from both the product and the consumer.

That said, it could always be a good game. I got to preview Blazblue several months ago and it's at least equal to Guilty Gear (with a female blue-cloth nun to boot), so if the same company can make an equal quality product twice, why can't the next MK be of better quality?

How about they stop making Mortal Kombat games and we all move on.

Are you saying that God is not merciful?

MK II was great. And IV when you had weapons. I think it was the IVth anyway. They appear to suck now a days though : (

Since MK moved to 3d it sucked. But I made sure to beat them all...

Whats the surprise? MK vs DC Universe did pretty well and that game only had a T rating. And besides we all know lotsa crappy/fallen series continue on. Sonic, Tomb Raider, Need For Speed, Tales of 'insert game of the month', etc! At least bringing out another MK this year makes sence since thanks to SFIV fighting games are "in" again.
