You've got to be shitting me. You think the mortal combat games are better than the tekken games? Thats laughable. The tekken games are actually much more techinical and complex and deeper then any and all of the Mortal Kombat games. Let me guess, you're just in it for the blood and gore right?
Only someone who knows jack shit about tekken would even say that its gameplay engine is crap.
I can actually back up my arguement if you'd like.
For the love of God, no no no no no.
I hate it when people fucking say that. That's what the haters see when they look at MK. It has solid gameplay, superb audio soundtrack, interesting characters (mainly the early ones), and an engaging storyline.
The violence isn't even one of 5 favorite things in MK.
