You get extra costumes with an amazon pre-order though

If there was no competition from online shops, you can bet that B&M ones would still be charging the earth for new releases! Simply put, they did it because they could!
Cartridges might have been a bit more expensive to manufacture, but they were still grossly overpriced by the shops.

My rental copy shipped yesterday, but I booked it for the PS3 instead of 360:pac: (no online play)

When there was one mouthful on sandwich left, the "FINISH HIM" words appeared, didnt they!

I wish misses came back and asked a bite... And you know when you eat sub, you eat salad parts first, and for last bites you allways keep most meaty and fatty bits! So guess what... She asked for bite.. And I was at that stage.... No!!!!!!


Anyway I am just off the mk, and I can honestly say - it's fecking apic! Way better them Amy anther fighting game I played now. I know there is argument in mk vs sf4. I prefer mk waaaay more them sf4. Mk is so easy to jump in and play, learn combos etc. Its so entertaining too. In sf4 I was allways getting my arse handed to me.

Love the way story mode is done.


P.s. Scorpion is the man!

picked it up there, loving it

You know what's funny? I love jonny cage! He is a dush, but he is a dush you like lol.

I am playing as liukang I think, at it's ****, as I camt get his moves my least favourite character

ShaneU

what's a dush?

Potential-Monke

Dush is a k.nobend.

Finished the story there today, and it's the best MK story so far. Excellently done, and you get to try out most characters (except for the bad guys, which kinda sucks). I'm looking forward to the Challenge Tower, i'd say it's going to be epic!

Pretty handy tbh with maybe 5 halfway challenging things thats bout it

theres a list of all the Krypt secrets up already, handy for just unlocking the fatalities and costumes if you're not bothered about the concept art and stuff. gotta say they went to town with the unlocks and game modes for this, fair play to them in an age where companies want you to pay to unlock stuff already included on the game disc (looking at you EA!)

some of the fatalities are absolutely hilarious. so far my favourites are Jades, Strykers and Ermacs.

do you have to unlock the 2nd fatality to do it? or once you know the button presses can you just perform it regardless?

We not mentioning the old stuff and fatalities some characters have as pre orders??

not sure, just type it in and see.


For when you're doing stage fatalities you can do it with the block button on and release before the last button(stops characters like smoke jumping into the air)

Sounds perfect. got a link?

No need to unlock it, you can just go into the fatality training to do it once you know the input, and once you've done it once it shows up in your move list. Interestingly though, i only got this to work for regular fatalities, not babalities, and obviously not stage fatalities, they have to be done in-game to unlock them, but like the others once you do them they show up in the moves list.

There's a list of all the fatality inputs up on SRK right here

Anybody know what the story is with the DLC classic fatalities? AFAIK they're only available through pre-order at specific retailers, which really sucks. I wonder if there are any plans to release them as charged packs. Sub zero's MK1 spine rip fatality was excellent., i'd love to get it D
