>pick up pic related hoping to play some more MK

>hear its singleplayer is a cross between Mortal Kombat and an rpg

>really liked Armageddon's Konquest mode so I thought I'd try it out

>play konquest mode

>entire game is just running around empty maps

>fights are just tutorials on how to play as the different characters

>sidequests are just "go fetch me something" or "wait at this area at this time for something"

Did I just sum up the entire singleplayer? I'm only part way in but I feel like the entire thing is a colossal waste of time. Why would they program in a mode that tricks people into thinking they're playing a campaign when in reality it's just school?

Yeah, it's pretty weak. I guess they thought casuals could use a tutorial on the dial-a-combo system. At least there's a decent amount of secrets and unlockables I guess.

I don't know who the fuck told you that it's "an RPG" but they were having a giggle. I thought it was common knowledge that Deception was a stinker. The only reason to trudge around that map is to learn to play all the characters and playing scavenger hunt for Kool Krypt Koins.

If you look at reviews of the game from when it came out "RPG" tends to be thrown around a lot when talking about it.

It's also unfinished IIRC, there are lots of items you can pick up that have no purpose in the game. If you want MK with singleplayer content pick up MK9 imo, its story mode and challenge tower are pretty good

i've been scared to pick up deadly alliance again, don't need my memories tarnished. i'll stick to thinking they've turfed out and ignoring the franchise.

Yeah, and game journos are complete retards. I have no idea why they'd do that. The only thing that remotely resembles progression in that game is gathering the Koins.

Boon was still experimenting on what to do with Mortal Kombat, even fucking Shaolin Monks was better than this.

Deception had neat ideas, but the execution was pretty bad.

Parts of the map are floating off the ground. I dunno if it's vanilla or because of pcsx2 though.

Likely vanilla. I remember Hell and Edenia being in voids.

I loved it as a kid for some reason. It holds a special place in my heart even though it's a piece of shit. I liked it more than Armageddon's konquest which just felt like a shitty version of Shaolin Monks. All of the Mortal Kombat games are shit when you compare it to other fighting games but they are fun because of their lore and character design. The Xbox version is the best btw. It's backwards compatible on the 360 if you have one.

I liked Armageddon's konquest mode because it was a beat-em-up with a few arcade fights thrown in. Which I was more than satisfied with. I didn't really expect much else.

>All of the Mortal Kombat games are shit when you compare it to other fighting games but they are fun because of their lore and character design

I like the MK games because they're really goofy and there's more dumb fun to be had with the characters compared to other fighters where balance is so rigidly enforced.

>The Xbox version is the best btw. It's backwards compatible on the 360 if you have one.

I'm just emulating it. I don't own a PS2 anymore.

Even though it was objectively a poorly made game, the actual fighting bits were still on point and I still ended up beating it because I liked seeing the different realms and talking to the characters. I wouldn't play it again though.

Play Shaolin Monks with a bro. You won't regret it. One of the best Beat em Ups ever made.

Did you mean MK: Shaolin Monks?
