Kreuger joins the MK cast

Post » Sun Dec 04, 2011 6:45 pm

Hey guys, some that know me know I'm a Mortal Kombat fan, sadly though I don't own the newest version... yet.

But enough about me, I wanted to see how you guys respond to.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuF8TZv7y_s&feature=related

Freddy Kreuger of "The Nightmare on Elm Street" series, has been added as the latest DLC character to join the newest game. Many people I talk to have completely turned there back on this game because of this added little twist, but then again those who are fans of TNoES have started picking up the game. How many of you guys whether you be MK fans, TNoES fans, and neither believe this to be a good addition or a bad addition on the development team's part?

I for one, actually believe him to be alittle out of place, but a fun character to play.

I used to be a fan of the MK series until I tried MK4, so for me it ended at UMK3 and MKT. The gimmicks just became a bore when it's just the same thing over and over again, and this is just another.

It's a little out of place, but it's definitely not the first time the series has done something weird like this (Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe anyone?)

Ok I see where you guys are coming from, the series has been out of hand for too long, and I actually think the MK9 plot works, and would bring new life into the very, very confusing storyline. Look at Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance the idea that the two sorcerers would team up to kill Liu Kang, that was a good idea even though they succeeded and caused a zombie Liu Kang to start appearing in games, and the introduction of Master Bo Rai Cho, really fart attacks?

But I actually am planning on getting MK9 and I would probably get the season pass for all the DLC all at once. Including Krueger.

EDIT:

BTW the link doesn't seem to be working.

I liked Deadly Alliance, despite it only supporting the [censored] D-pad on the gamecube. Oh, and I'm not saying the new MK is bad, but having Freddy appear is...just way out of place. I thought they were trying to save it from the failed MK vs. DC attempt and shoddy storyline (more so than most other fighting games)

I liked all the 3D Mortal Kombat (haven't played MK4), and the return to the original storyline was a good idea, and I agree Krueger doesn't belong in the series because its not a dream... well unless hes still running around since the end of Freddy vs Jason... and learned Kung-Fu.... and could use his nightmare powers in the real world.... oh boy....

Is this really any worse than all the weird characters added to Soul Caliber? Link, Spawn, Yoda, Darth Vader...

Don't see what the problem is. Its not like Kreuger is officially now apart of the universe, its just a nice little toss in. Its no different then Tauren Marines in Starcraft.

As for Mortal Combat games. I like almost all of them except for two. Shaolin Warriors (BLEHHHHH) and that awful one that revolved around Scorpion. MK vs DC is a hit or miss in my book.

Well, I think that's cool. Kratos in the PS3 version of the new MK was simply awesome, so I don't see why this should be any different. Oh and, OP get the new MK, it's great. :)

Out of place, certainly, but when has Mortal Kombat ever taken itself seriously? When has any fighting game had a story worth obsessing over the canon for? People make too big a deal of things.
