Hey man. Well written, and thanks for letting me know that there are other people who feel just like me.
I disconnected from gaming when the ps2 arrived, because I grew up and didn´t have a lot of time or money to play games. Just like that, I totally disconnected from the series. I would look at Armageddon videos and when I saw these characters like Ashrah, Kobra, I thought "yeah, right" and when I saw Nitara (I believe she is the vampire? wtf?) I said, "ohh noo..." Mk is LOST. I think the only new character that looks cool is this Kenshi guy.
Now with Mortal Kombat (2011), I have remembered why I love videogames.
Every video, every fatality, every discovery, every revealed character. Even babalities (which now I think are awesome and really serve the purpose of humiliating your opponent) hyped me up a lot, and now that I have a stable job and wanted a blu-ray player, I bought myself a PS3. MK comes out in Norway on wednesday, and I honestly can´t wait. It´s kind of a dream come true. Netherealm Studios have busted their balls making this game and I really can´t understand how people hate some things (how can you hate cyber sub zero? why the hell was smoke´s hair such a problem?). I guess people just like to be whiners. I have to admit, the reward for the challenge tower was a bit disappointing, but I still don´t care; I just smiled... you know why? because I am GRRAATEFULLLLL for this game and I DONT WANT TO BE A *****ING WHINER when the whole package is just incredible. They did this game for us, how can you be nit-picking?
If you have time, OP, I would appreciate that you add me to the letter too. If it´s already late, it´s no problem, that´s ok. I just wanted them to know that here in Norway we also appreciate every single thing put into this game. I am really thinking it might be the greatest fighting game ever.
Thanks for reading and... fatality lives!
