I want to finish Mortal Kombat with a fatality

Warning,
This is my opinion.
Don't get your decapitated goblins in a twist!

I want to die. And not just the normal way, but I want to get my organs cut out, my head cut off and it sent in to the air then my body turned into a flower... You know, when you put it that way, I actually don't want to die that much anymore.

Mortal Kombat is by far the most violent game I've ever had the experience to play. Which I guess it's supposed to be like that, but whatever I don't fucking care. All I know is that Mortal Kombat is a ninja/kung fu/souls shit put into a blender with a bunch of missing organs inside of the blender to make shit more red... Or green? I don't care! Mortal Kombat is unique because of the "fatality" thing which means that you have murdered a person in the most brutal, painful and embarrassing way.

Like I certainly want to die being attached on a tree and then being cut to half by a chainsaw. I certainly don't think that's the most embarrassing way to die! And I certainly don't think it's the most disgusting way to die! That's sarcasm by the way, don't go full retarded buying chainsaws to hang me on a tree and cut my body to half.

What I hate about it is, it's gory to the extreme! I mean really, it seems that the gore in Mortal Kombat was just forced in. I played Mortal Kombat: Armageddon once. With and without gore. Guess what? Both of them are the fucking same! Except some scenes make no sense (Like that decapitating scene, the head was still there despite the axe cutting it off) But the difference was still barely noticeable meaning that Mortal Kombat could work fine without any gore at all and it's added because kids these days love violent shit. After MK X was released, one of the first things I found of it were the lists of fatalities and there were two of them that I thought were fine. And both of them are Cassie's. At least it doesn't go over the top with all the organs go out and it was actually kinda funny and it shows how I shouldn't take those fatalities seriously. But how the fuck do you want me not to take them seriously when I hear people screaming in pain after getting their heart taken out with BARE HANDS!!!

"But mr. Jack the greatest, then why do you like Fallout 3? This was also quite gory!" Well, at least fallout 3 isn't making me want to puke. And when your enemy's head is blowing up, at least I feel a certain satisfaction.

Killing people by cutting them to half with a fucking chainsaw doesn't make me feel satisfied, it only makes me want to jump off the nearest bridge with all the disgust I just got. And in Fallout 3, the gore makes me think that the world Fallout 3 is set in is an insane and hopeless place. I guess the same argument could be applied to Mortal Kombat, but imagine fallout 3 without gore and it really seems a lot more different. When I first played the game and saw raiders' torture methods and their torture victims, I realized how insane those people are.

If that would be gone, I wouldn't have the same feeling. In Mortal Kombat, like I said. Nothing really changes. It's still a fighting game with the same story and same setting and the same world. Except with less pointless decapitations and disgusting scenes.

But let's get to Mortal Kombat's... "Realism." The Fatalities are made way too realistic that it makes you, if you're like me, fucking puke. But there's one thing that I hate and love at the same time about it. And it's the "X-Ray." It's the dumbest, most brutal, yet the funniest thing I've ever seen. The X-Ray is basically like a "super attack" where you're shows how this attack affects the insides of your opponent's body. How many bones you just brutally destroyed etc. What's absolutely hilarious about it is... THEY FUCKING GET UP!!! ALMOST A SECOND AFTER WHAT JUST HAPPENED!!!

I mean cmon! When you break someone's skull, it's at the very fucking least a knock-out! But they give zero shits! You know, simply because of how absolutely hilarious that shit is, I can't even manage to even really hate it as much as I want to. I'm laughing my ass off Everytime they stand up without any care at all after all those bones that were broken just a second ago.

You know, I'm not the biggest Mortal Kombat fan, and I can safely say I hate it. But yet because of the reasons above, I simply can't do it! I hate it for two reasons, one of them even being the very reason I don't even hate it as much. And it's the gore and the lack of all realism. But there's one thing I like about it, and it's its lore. Despite it being stupid and the main theme of the story is just wish for dominance and tournaments and whatever-the-fuck-this-game-also-has I simply like if for some reason. No clue why.

Truth be told, I've only played two of the Mortal Kombat games. Armageddon and X, and Armageddon I loved.

Despite it being animeish and silly, like superhero movies nowadays, but fuck that. If I've forgiven Kung Fu Panda 3 for this, why don't I do the same for this? But I haven't played enough games to give a solid opinion about the franchise overall. But most of the videos about the franchise I've seen have the gore problem which I absolutely hate. So if you're into making a game at some point in your life, don't add pointless gore. Think how different the game would be without the gore, and if there's absolutely no change, don't. Add it.


So this is what I think of mortal Kombat, the most brutal game according to WATCHMOJO. Do you agree or disagree with me? Do you think that Mortal Kombat is pointlessly gory as hell or that I'm a huge hypocrite for loving fallout 3 because it's gory as well? Either way, tell me your opinion down below. Also, feel free to share a fatality you find the most brutal. Have a good day!
