Dumbest Crossover on any game system

Mortal Kombat VIII M K Vs D C Universe

What the heck were they even thinking with this one?

Upgrading Mortal Kombat IX (PS 3) this month. Has the 4 extra fighters in this version. I used to play a lot of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 on SNES.

I also play both Tekken 6 and Super Street Fighter IV quite a bit.

I have no idea why they bothered with MK vs DC. Not only was it just a bad game in general, but the MK characters were toned down far too much.
It was also the first in a trilogy that proved Netherrealm has no idea how to animate the Flash.
2 Injustices down and Flash still looks completely fucking stupid when doing combos.

No kidding there. Mortal Kombat IX was how the game should be in the first place. I'm playing it for now and will up switch when the Komplete Edition comes in. MK IX on PS 3 looks good actually. I was sort of trying to get the feel of the game for a few days. Story Mode in this one is strong however.

Mortal Kombat X and XI are on Play Station 4 darn it. I was hoping to play those.

That's how I felt too. Anime with too much fan serivce or moe stuff is why I feel like no one takes anime and manga seriously as an art form. I like fan service stuff from Go Nagai because Cutie Honey and Kekko Kamen have a colorful campy vibe to them. Meanwhile, High School of the Dead and High School DxD make cringe.

So I decided to give the magical genre genre a go after years of being a hardcore mecha and slice of life fan and the show I chose as an initial foray was...Symphogear.

Not gonna lie, I expected a lot of magical zappy action and cute familiars instead of song-powered armor and finding new ways to punch people in the face. Not that I'm complaining of course.

This...is a magical girl show right?

Ah yes, Symphogear. One of my favorite "magical girl" shows. It certainly is different and borders more on the tech side of things, but boy was it a good ride!

It's got the hallmarks, right? Innocent main character thrust into an unfamiliar world, the secondary character who initially is wary of the main character but becomes a valuable ally, and also the mysterious villain magical girl who may or may not be evil at all.

Really all we're missing is the cute familiar! :lol

But seriously, it's as magical girl as Kamen Rider Blade is a technology-based season. I finished all 5 seasons just least year in quick succession and it was a pretty good time. Credits to friends who talked about it all day!

I may or may not be obsessed with the activation hymns and the Swan Song. >.>

Oh man, I watched Symphogear late last year and it was an experience! I had a great time as a whole even if I thought GX was bad and AZX was just "okay". The other three seasons rocked my socks off. I'm a bit of an Akifumi Kaneko superfan (the only one in the West, pardner!), so it was really nice to experience his unique style once again. It had all his hallmarks... tokusatsu-stylings, mechs, Wild Arms references, lesbians, insane hot blooded energy, and a massively kitschy yet overwhelming earnest style. Aaaah, it was a fun time!

It wasn't my thing.
