‘Mortal Kombat X’ Brings Absurd Level Of Gore – ‘Most Violent Video Game Ever’

“Mortal Kombat X” had just been released last week, but it has already gotten a lot of squeamish reviews. It would appear that gamers have been given yet another gaming gem, with the game built on the best parts of the 2013 version, with added characters and, of course, gore.

“‘Mortal Kombat X’ is the kind of game that keeps overly protective parents up at night – convinced it will turn their children into heartless killers,” said game critic Alec Kubas-Meyer, “The most violent video game ever.”

The game’s format is pretty much the same with its predecessor, and its storyline, for all intents and purposes, is a straight sequel. It plays out a bit like an action-packed animated movie with amazingly explosive set pieces. Opting not to skip the movie-like scenes is an effective way of being formally introduced to the game’s characters.

Sadly, it would appear that “Mortal Kombat X” has a very steep learning curve, especially when beginning players square off with other players, majority of which are already in advanced levels. Stuff has reported that online lobbies are dominated by quite a few seriously advanced gamers who will easily run over newbies for quick ranking points.

When the “Mortal Kombat” game franchise was first launched in 1992, it immediately became controversial for having been made with photo-realistic fighters that fight to the death, instead of using a more cartoonish approach. According to Record Online, the game was one of the reasons why content ratings are now mandated for video games.

“At one point in time, gamers were just meant for children,” Gregory Fischbach, chief executive of the company that released “Mortal Kombat” at the time, told BBC a year ago. “Nobody really took them seriously. But, it was the launch of ‘Mortal Kombat’ that people who controlled the media began to look at it differently.”

“People got upset about it,” he added. “People looked at it, as though we were selling it to 9-year-old children.”
