Conquest on DA was ok but Deception was hours of disappointment all to unlock an old man who just used different character's moves. Not to mention you had to unlock the moves for him. Plus Shang Tsung and Quan Chi killing Liu Kang wasn't what ruined him, it was him being brought back in Decption as a FUCKING ZOMBIE that ruined him. The best part: MKDA is the only game where the villains won. Killed Liu Kang, Shao Kahn, Raiden's alliance, and finally, Raiden himself. Good game to me.

At least Deception had a free roaming Konquest mode, and other fun extras like Puzzle Kombat. I was more disappointed spending hours on DA's Konquest only to unlock a smaller Blaze with no specials and fucking Mokap than I was with unlocking Shujinko's specials, not that it's the only thing you got out of that Konquest mode. It actually had an interesting way of unlocking the other characters; finding keys in certain areas of the different realms to unlock them in the Krypt. Of course nowadays, the "unlockable" characters in fighters are mostly DLC.

Liu needed some kind of change of role after MK4 anyway, though not sure I would've made him a zombie. And wrong on DA being the only game where the villains won. MKA was also one, since Shao Kahn won Armageddon.
