User blog comment:IshyRoze/What do fans want in a Mortal Kombat Game?/@comment-1085174-20101011171147

If you're asking what do they expect, I don't think most fans care much about anything but gore. Instead of offering ideas to improve things, they usually just complain about what's wrong in the games, and this often leads the developers to delete things that don't work, regardless of their potential, instead of improving them. This happened often with new characters, in fact in every game there always are just the ones from MKI plus some from MKII.

If you want to know what I would like to see, than:
 * More violence interacting with the game. Violence is what made MK famous, but it's always been only an aestethic feature, in fact it has always been poosible to turn it down without changing any little thing in the gameplay. It is a flaw. Violence should be part of the game! How? It's not too hard:
 * Death traps! Too bad thay removed them from MK9. If you hate the possibility of dying in one hit, then make something like you can push enemies in a death trap only while they loses balance, and that doesn't happen until they lose half of their energy.
 * Kreate-a-Fatality instead of regular fatalities! Read my blog page for more.
 * Severing moves! Moves that badly injure the opponent, such as making him lose limbs (kinda like in BloodStorm).


 * Storyline! It's ok of coming back to the classic MKs, but a big improovement in the PS2 titles was the death of the main character so that every character became the protagonist of his/her own story. This is something that should be keeped (and also should be done in every other fighting game). Also the fact that characters evolve trough their stories (I hate how this doesn't happen in Street Fighter and King of Fighters)
 * Kreate-a-Fighter. Creating custom characters is something always funny, and should be improved in every new game.
