So...It's bad...For bad guys...To do bad things?KlokwerkSolja said:
Anyway, totally with Miracle of Sound on this one. MK has been shock content since its inception. Have trouble giving a damn.
Yeah Scorpion, Reptile and Sub-Zero have grown past being simple palette swaps. shoot Scorpion became one of the most popular / well known game character just from one simple phrase. I know the guys working on this still have some time to refine things and I hope they make Kitana's attacks more elegant while Mileena should fight dirty and more savagely. I always been a fan of MK and MK9 is a step in the right direction they just need to not go ape shit with the clones.burningdragoon said:
This thread made me laugh. It's Mortal Kombat dude, we don't care. As people have said the men are just as "disrespectful" in the game.
I'm all for equality and most of my friends are women, but sometimes things like this are just meant for entertainment, don't take it seriously. I would actually be more annoyed if one of my beloved franchises stopped being so ridiculous and over the top.
I see a lot of "stereotyping" in games today but most of the time it's necessary. How would a heavily violent war game be without a muscly guy? It's just more believable in that scenario.
Heavy Rain is a good example. It more realistic characters since it's meant to be a very grounded in reality game. The main female in that you may think for a moment is overly sexualized, but that can be a commentary on society if you look at it in a certain way. Since she uses her "advantages" to get into certain places etc. it says a lot more for the men in the game rather than the women, no?

You do known that that is literally her character, and only applies to her. She isn't a woman, she's a beast, she was created in the flesh pits, she is controlled only by that one dark lord, and no one in Mortal Kombat, including the men, wears any sort of sensible armour.
Do your research, please. Then you don't look quite so wrong.

I dunno, I've had a few exes with all her warmth and charm in the past.
They dress like like they want to be looked at and then tear your eyes out if you do.
Just another facet of the feminine mystery.

augh quit the bitchin...im still waiting for a game that lets you play as a homosexual or left-handed protagonist. at least women are in games

Seriously, stop looking for social equality in everything, particularly things aimed at just having fun. Also, you might wanna take a look at movies, music, books and just about every single other bloody piece of medium or widely available social commentary. When you're done doing that, check out the way men are represented within the same genres and then if you're still stuck on that one image of a gal from Mortal combat, go ahead and browse aggressive feminist sites for about 5 minutes or so.
TLDR
Equality goes both ways. The best way to aim for it is to not give too much of a crap about the whole deal and just deal with things on their own merit rather than blame something bigger for a single incident because it makes you seem "tolerant".

I just want to say that, I was planning to get into a long tirade about how it's MK, and thus tongue-in-cheek and generally not ment to be taken seriously... but you said it so much better that... well. Well played. My hat's off to you.MiracleOfSound said:
It's Mortal Kombat. Anyone who comes into it looking to be sexually aroused has problems, because we all know the only reason we play mortal kombat its to freeze people and rip heads off.
Well, he studied a MAGICAL case so hard he turned into a MAGICAL colony of BEEEEEEEEEEEES.Krion_Vark said:
