[@SquishyEggo]

This game in my opinion was definitely one of the weaker- if not weakest of the MK franchise. Too many new ideas with not enough classic feel. Undoubtedly because most of the original staff is gone. Also the background designer was not A game so to speak.

[@alexstone108]

It was really only John Tobias that was gone but even that is a big hit to take. Agreed on MKDA though. At least Deception did a better job at bringing some of the classic feel back.

[@llkk9900]

Time to get with the times guy. 1993 is over

[@HOFSheamus]

Deception sucks

[@fofitohi]

Deadly Alliance can’t really be that weak tho. If it wasn’t for it, the Mortal Kombat saga would probably died here. They didn’t had much of a choice: if this game hadn’t been a success, things actually would have ended here for the MKTeam. The franchise was having a really bad streak and this game actually saved it. Yeah, it probably lacked a lot of content but it was no bad game. Very enjoyable and kinda avant- garde

[@HOFSheamus]

@@ElViperr408 no

[@JumugiDesunra]

I disagree. Each character having 2 fighting styles & a weapon style was pretty innovative at the time. Not to mention, it's one of the first 3D games to include battle damage on characters. ( cuts, bruises etc ) Konquest mode was more like a tutorial to learn every character's moveset since the game was remade from the ground up. The only thing this game suffers from, is the 1 fatality per character rule, ( some fatalities were pretty bad, such as Bo Rai Cho's, Quan Chi's & Kung Lao's ) & the forgettable newcomers. ( except for Kenshi )

[@uome20bukz]

Marco Martinez you can be passionate about anything, doesn’t mean you always feel like spending 15 hours a day doing it. You know how tedious of a job animation is? Imagine spending 15 hours (minus breaks) staring a computer screen animating something that will only be about 20 seconds in length when all is said and done..... then doing it again the next day, and the next day. Not to mention running into problems, not being able to get something to work right sometimes and having to figure out a solution. I’m sure they get headaches and get testy and irritable sometimes. Even things you love doing can feel like a chore now and then. The final product might be great, but a lot of hard tedious, sometimes headache inducing work went into making it. It’s not always just a big playground where they’re always having fun like you see in this video. Some people have this misconception that just because they enjoy the product, the job of making that product must be completely awesome, one big funhouse. I’m sure these guys love their jobs overall, but you can also bet your ass there are times when they don’t love it so much. You just never see those moments on camera. Plus they sometimes have deadlines to meet, deadlines which it doesn’t always look like they’re going to be able to meet and have to work even harder, try to solve their technical issues faster, and stress themselves out more.
