You are clueless. Yes, it is free. What about the $600.00 I have invested in the console, games, accessories? You are going to justify it by saying there is no fee to play on-line? Have you ever heard of Fraud in the inducement? I didn't think so. PSN sold game consoles and games with FULL knowledge their system wasn't secure. Maybe if Sony was an AMERICAN company (like Microsoft), they would be held to account. Sony owes me $600.00, that's the fact. Quit being such a patsy for them.subzero_420

sound like trolling to me. I love Xbox but everyone forgave them for selling faulty hardware "Maybe if it was a different country the hardware wouldn't have been faulty" come on man trolling.

[QUOTE="subzero_420"]You are nuts if you think PSN is coming back on line, They are done, finished. They come back on-line, someone will hack them again, why? Because PSN could not design a secure system if their lives depended on it. It may be back up, but the problems are just beginning. This is an amateur operation and it shows. I talked to a staff member from PSN, I know him personally. He said, IF it comes back, it will never be 100% secure, it is beyond their capability, it costs too much money to completely redo the system, so they are just PATCHING it. Get out while you can, buy an XBox. That's exactly what he said. You heard it here, from me, first.Gilgamane

He's just trolling man, don't give in to what he is doing. He obvious started his account over intended to piss people off.

forgot my password aswell and its an email i dont even use anymore. hope it still remembers everything...

I think everyone is required to enter a new password. As for everyone esle there's no evidence yet that supports all of our data was stolen and marketed so just hold your breath. Sony pissed off the hackers because they went all out against them. There's a lot of modders on XBL and microsoft kind of turns a blind eye to it not to piss anyone off (specifically the hackers). Sony did what I call the "Roger Godell" approach and wanted to help us against the F***s that's turn COD into a mess and the guys who occasionally use an unfair advantage in fighting games and sports games (Madden: every cowboy star had a 99 rating that's not right). During this "Guerilla war" from the hackers they manage to deliver a decisive blow for now but it's been what 5 years of somewhat good service at least with online game playing which is all I use the PS3 for really. So I commend them for trying but ultimately there's some things and some guys you shouldn't F' with unfortunately.

[QUOTE="dvader654"]I cannot stress enough how AWESOME the story mode in MK is. All other fighting games "stories" just got spit on. This is a Mortal Kombat fans dream come true. You basically play through the first three MK but with some changes. This is how you do a reboot and this is how you tell a story in a fighter. Its so freaking exciting, every fight has meaning and every character has a role to play. The only problem is that you only play as the good guys so you end up fighting a lot of the same bad guys a lot, still its a great mix of fights and you really never know what you are going to get. I am getting toward the end and the story is taking some crazy twists. Besides VF5 which came out ages ago, this is my favorite fighter of the generation. Grammaton-Cleric

I couldn't agree with youmore in regards to story mode. I'm loving it, cheese and all, and this is coming from a person who skips 99% of videogame cutscenes.

MK has been reborn and I'm loving every gore-spattered minute of it.

yeah. My only peeve is the dilemma with Sub-Zero...not trying to cause any spoliers but those who know the story know what I am talkin' about.

anyone kno if there's more costumes than 2?

Finally had an opportunity to sink my incisors into this one last evening and walked away very impressed. Here are some bullet points:

- Excellent visual presentation with a brisk frame rate and an aesthetic that perfectly emulates the look and feel of the first four MK games while infusing that art style with a contemporary graphical sheen. The animation is top notch and the transitions between techniques, while not quite as smooth as something like SF, nonetheless remains far more fluid than any previous MK title.

- The game is actually dripping with minutia and detail which runs into sharp contrast with previous MK games that employed a minimalist style in many facets of their execution.

- Despite the large roster, each character feels entirely unique, replete with not only the requisite special techniques but also stances, styles and individual strikes and combos that imbue each fighter with their own respective identity and IQ.

- MK9 is easily one of the most violent games thus far released. Even when taking the entire historical context of the franchise into account, this game is ultra-violent and unapologetically graphic. Watching Stryker taze Sonya and then blow off the top of her head with a Desert Eagle is nasty enough; seeing her lifeless husk collapse to the ground as her tongue flaps in the remnant of her jaw is gore porn that is somehow simultaneously depraved and giddily amusing.

- X-Rays seem a bit overpowered and are easy to perform but conversely they also seem easy to block. Like many, I am not a huge fan of the desperation mechanic that has become a staple of the genre but the X-Ray moves are viscerally satisfying and offer a prolific violence that matches the endgame

fatalities.

- The physical damage the characters suffer as blows are exchanged is among the best seen in a fighting game. While superficial in terms of the effect on the fighters, the damage engine is extensive and sells the notion of a fight to the death where even the victor may look to be suffering from severe trauma.

- The amount of one-player content is staggering and shames just about every other fighting game released this generation in regards to ancillary content and modes. MK9 is practically overflowing with all manner of modes, challenges, and variations, along with a tutorial and the ability to practice everything from combos to specific character fatalities. The Krypt also makes a welcome (and violently amusing) return.

Ultimately, MK9 feels like a genuine labor of love combined with the developer's stated purpose to create a fighter that can be played at competitive levels without being broken and abused via an endless loop of infinities and exploits. If Boon and his staff keep their promise about consistent updates and necessary tweaks as the community deconstructs this game, MK9 could very well end up being one of the best fighters of this gen.

great breakdown of the game.

[QUOTE="killzonexbox"]Use stryker he got the most powerful xray in the game..MonkeySpot

I run it with 8-9 ppl (Idk about Sheeva she can't really fight but she gimmicky) and I figured Scorpion out and he's not the boogeyman I thought he was, with patients and a little bit of getting my azz kicked I figured Scorpion has weaknesses too. Every Scorpion I face now either quits cause I beat him so bad or gets beat then I get an angry message.

:lol:

Congrats on seein' it through, sticking with it, and prevailing, m'friend!
