Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Par (part 1/2)

[TruthComments]

i wish i would have electricity xD

[EdsEnemy]

Interesting, you make the same joke about the rotisserie chicken spikes as an old review in 64 magazine, years ago.

[EdsEnemy]

There is actually an electric ray.

[sirfragalot92]

@retruspurae Actually, Raiden not being able to go get the amulet himself is legit. He supposedly only has power in the Earthrealm, so if he goes anywhere else he becomes powerless... it's really just an excuse to give other characters important things to do. :P

[Tabletsolarflash]

If the bald guys were cloned Avatar The Last Airbenders holding sticks. I think this is where Avatar came from. JEEZ!

[SugarStrangler]

Bo rai cho = Boracho is spanish for drunkard

[MysticGoku]

IM SUB-ZERO.

[fuandon]

Holmes vs Moriarty. Sub-zero vs MASHY-SPRING-PLATE!

[bud389]

This feels like a really bad episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, but with video games...

[thehaloring90]

36:11 CRYSTAL BOY!

[Schattenfaust2]

Am I the only one who can't really hear a word that's being said in the cutscenes?

[MegiDolaDyne]

I remember Bo-Rai'Cho. Don't remember exactly which punctuation goes into his name, and I wish I didn't remember the guy who liked to fight by vomiting on people, but I do.

[AeroAtlas]

This is a real game?! I though this was mediocre mortal combat mod or something. Jesus.

[DoctorPorkenfries]

Is it just me, or does it look like the Lin Kieu leader guy might've been played by Will Ferrel?

[Toungechecker]

You know if someone could mod this game so the enemies didn't block so god damn much this game could have been pretty decent game.

[thehaloring90]

@Toungechecker welcome to FUCKIN samurai warriors 3 (great game still)

[JTZ731]

2nd boss looks like thor

[EdenPhantasm]

When Sub Zero stands still in the FMV cutscenes his arms are always sticking out like his suit is obstructing his normal posture or something, it looks weird like he physically cannot put his arms straight down.

[Ghettoavenger]

Oh my goodness, I had this for the N64. I just learned from this LP that there were goddamn cutscenes! The N64 couldn't do FMV's, and the port didn't do anything to make up the difference. I can't believe it, but actually knowing why things are happening makes the game slightly less terrible.

[shinmiroku]

Man I'm the worst Sub-Zero ever :(

[pwninator345]

Dude, I'd totally play Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Johnny Cage, it would be a whole game of punching people in the balls.

[DVSPython]

A small ambulance?

Amulet?

Uhhjjgjhh?

[dominichokage]

Sub-zero manners!

[fable23]

Well, they did wind up making a non-fighting version of Mortal Kombat that didn't entirely suck. Shaolin Monks wasn't great, but it was good enough. Hell of a lot more playable than this slushy mess.

[ilikethecoke]

Actually, the part where Sub-Zero bounces off that onning is not scripted. You have to jump on the ledge to do that otherwise you'll die from the fall.

Wow... It's been over a decade since I played this game and I still remember that.

[BioYuGi]

As a huge MK fan, I know there's a lot of elements in this game that are actually canon. Like this is where Quan Chi gets Shinnoks amulet, we meet Fujin for the first time, this is why Scorpion has a grudge against Sub-Zero. It looks kind of repetitive but doesn't seem that awful. I'm sure if I played it when it came out I would have liked it.

[MyselfAgain]

The arm waving is just for show, it's all in his glorious thighs.

[CanYouPassTheCookiez]

@9:20 LOLOLOL nice scream 

[evrbody]

HEY SUB-ZERO HAVE YOU SEEN MY BROTHER BARAKA AAH!

[YgramulWhoIsMany]

I dunno I really had fun with this game. I was really good at it though.

[TheThreadWeaver]

I don't care who you are, 9:48 is legitimately funny.

[kakkoiilandamu]

90s flashback!

[CocoHutzpah]

Klearly that was Krystal Boy in the "Water Temple."

[whelpable]

sad charlie brown music begins playing at 48:23

[FalconPain]

No, the next stage should have nothing but Kanos. After all, after Wind, Earth, Water and Fire, the next logical stage is Heart.

[roflrandomguy]

@FalconPain and then at the end we fight captain planet?

[DollarTaco]

@roflrandomguy no... we fight Kaptain planet.

[Emixsal]

@FalconPain and the final boss would be Khameleon.

[robertman]

Why doesnt he bother to get kombos?

[CleaveTheDragon]

Should've titled this "Mortal Kombat: Apologies" and just have the credits play.

[AHMbros4life]

Cool, Sub-Zero fight Against Thor

[biogunproductions]

"Brain guy, give it back!" MST3K reference FTW!

[dowap7]

I kan't stop laughing at his klimbing animation. It's like he's throwing glitter at a party.

[Bloodlyshiva]

Jesus, that pirate version Kikoskia did wasn't far off the mark.

[xBurnQuack]

Who is typing in the middle of the wrongpurae? Fukking lame.

[RecycleDucks]

Oh wow, this was uploaded just 5 days ago? I had this game on the N64, and sadly, it was part of my childhood. Because of that, I sort of enjoy it, though. Don't ask me how.

[majorgeek]

The water boss sort of reminds me of Glacius from Killer Instinct.

[MrMegamonsta]

Not enough people replaking their K's with K's in the komments

[LuigiFan210]

@MrMegamonsta I cnow right?

[pHr33kAcHu]

This game is Krap.

[lonerurouni287]

3:18 In game martial arts at its finest.

[KantorekBaumerB14]

"I am mortal." He is drunk?

[Doperwtje81]

Sub-Zero's only weakness is Paul's lawn.

[Algahiem]

This game has to be a mythology, since it doesn't fit into the MK canon.

[Kolbatsu]

I think Sub-Zero is Mike Dawson in disguised 

[CheezeFox]

@Kolbatsu Nah, Mike Dawson would be the guy who gets frozen and then gently nudged off a cliff.

[Siubej]

When are you guys going to do Let's Plays again? :\

[SirTotallyAwesome]

@Siubej When are you people going to stop complaining about them not doing LPs? :\

[Siubej]

@SirTotallyAwesome I dunno, when do I start? It was a question, you knee-jerking fanboy.

[lich109]

@Siubej they already did.

[Siubej]

@lich109 I mean full-time. And that last one was intensely boring.

[Kuronji]

Fire temple, aka the tanning salon.

[kaihedgie]

Well to answer your question Slowbeef, Gods aren't suppose to directly meddle around in the affairs of mortals. It's kind of a law.

[SD91]

Probably the first Wrongplay you guys are doing that I have actually played myself when I was a kid...

[milleniumfrisbee]

jab jab jab AW FUCK IT! (my favorite line)

[arcticfox04]

This would of been a cool game on the SNES too bad it came out 1 gen too late.

[Knifegash]

I remember renting this game as a kid. On the ride home with my father, I read the instruction book, and it talked about the enemies in this game. They were called Immortals, and they were trained to never fear death. Being young, the prospect of fighting enemies that could never die terrified me for some reason, not to mention their resemblance to Baraka, who I was also scared of. I only ever made it to the second enemy in the game and didn't play it again for the rental period. Good times.

[LoticaStudios]

I had the N64 version, I loved it, though I wish I had the PSX version.

[BlastedToitles]

This was all in picture in the Nintendo 64 version. I can see the top notch acting was what i was missing, that's what made the game better by miles.

[JayBreezy505]

how is this at all better than armageddon:good game tho

[Prometheusmfd]

The water all flows one direction

[khurrikhan]

42:15 Perfect timing.

[Unclevertitle]

17:38 Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero IS Daler Mandi.

[Megamaniac610]

Damn these designeres were lazy as fuck. Did you notice that the clip for when sub zero is turned into fog is the same exact clip as when he's re-materialized? Just reversed? Watch it again, it's the same one.

[StrawberryLoveGen]

Looking at some of the flailing the player does, I can only assume the controls to this game are kind of awful.

[Ledundeadv66]

I just realized, the water guy must have been Crystal Boy! Its not like he ever really dies.

[BadShines]

At 31:00 all I can see is Sub-Zero rowing with an invisible paddle...

[KingdomHeart723]

@BadShines KAN see Sub-Zero rowing, watch your spelling there, friend.

[SATwitch]

Every day I contemplate suicide when I remember that I bought this instead of Diddy Kong Racing.

[sargentawsum]

/watch?v=0yJrYujoJDE&feature=r­elated

[GDGaming]

37:05 Hate to burst your bubble...

[XSeaSpiralX]

Awesome stuff guys, sub'd.

[tomeoffinland]

OH CHINESE NINJA WAR-RIOR

WITH YOUR HEART SO CO-OLD

(sub ze-ero)

[vernsi]

I like the idea, I really wish this game was good and that they made more.

[fuandon]

Wow, the pirated Genesis version of this game had more enemy variety...

[JJ10DMAN]

I can't hear the game so most of your riffing is totally lost on me. "This is the funniest skull I've ever seen!" OK, so I guess he laughed as he was picking it up...

Seriously, if I could figure out how to get my volume louder, your voices would hurt my ears anyway once I got to the point I could hear the game. Please mix it a little louder next time.

[CPTHAP]

"What do you think the Water guy will be? Like a toilet?"

"Well this game is kind of a toilet, so..."

[bepop123]

I like the Cavity Creep earth boss.

[Sneep29]

Thank you RickyC.

[World1Level2]

What the KRAP is this shit?

[bravojr]

1:37 Sub ZERO is using Scorpions colors!

I am amazed you people missed that.

[bravojr]

@bravojr 1:35 just to be safe. It's when he bashes through the window.

[WimpyMcWeaksauce]

I like how Quan Xi was standing right in front of him with the amulet, yet Sub-Zero just stood there and let him gloat, instead of snatching that thing right out of his hands. I don't even know what that stupid thing did, but letting the bad guy have it seemed bad.

[RDV333]

It looks like Donkey kong Country if made by present RARE.

[stantheman781]

@RDV333 LOL you are right! =P

[DriftHero77]

@RDV333 It's actually the lighting from outside, look carefully and the part you see as yellow and you will actually notice it's his skin, fooled me at 1st though too.

[rjakobi]

Actually, yes, Mythologies WAS supposed to be a recurring series. They started with Sub-Zero, and then did one with Sonya and Jax. Then...they just stopped. Most of the main chars in Mythologies ended up in some of the MK sequels. Most notably Quan Chi and his miniskirt assassin.

[DriftHero77]

TEEHEE COME GET ME SUB ZERO!

[chaosd1]

I had a friend who worked at Midway and I was told that the company gave NO SHITS about what the playtesters and QAs told them. Such a mystery they went under.

[bumperstick49]

i kant believe game designers looked at this krap and decided it was kompletely awesome

[LordLicoriceDerp]

I'm sure you're probably doing us a favor, but it seems like the game audio levels are way, way quieter than your dub. Pretty hilariously terrible game (and funny commentary) nevertheless.

[futonrevolution]

I drove through Kherry Hill today, and realized that Camden County College would have a very different kurrikulum in Mortal Kombat Kountry.

[Makron5]

I'll leave messages with a sea if I want. hell with you slowbeef! Making fun of us old sea dogs. How dare you!

[scapunk]

You guys stop uploading videos in the middle of the night I have to sleep sometime you know

[RottenEggCreations]

This would be better if I didn't have to turn up the audio to ungodly levels to hear what you were commentating on.

[AllOfTheRestWillFlow]

That guy with the cape looks like a bargain bin Thor.

[EdMan6623]

This is one of the few wrongpurae'd games I've actually played. To put things in perspective, I was using a gameshark and had infinite health and lives, and STILL couldn't beat the game.

[EdmacZ]

Everything is better than Mortal Kombat Armageddon.

[toocoolsasuke77]

Diabetus's Sub Zero jokes c:

[ReloadXPsi]

I'm liking how you seem to be doing both LPs and longplays now.

Wait...

[DMAN123223]

You probably thought these generic enemies were real, and that scorpion, and the wind guy too.

Nope, Chuck Testa.

[M30W3R]

Honestly, who wouldn't add a bit of Mike Dawson to every game?

Easiest enemy to kill, best npc to talk to

[bloodrunsclear]

@M30W3R

What would he say except 'I didn't kill her!' XD

[M30W3R]

@bloodrunsclear "I'd like to play this game: FETCH ME 'ITEM: RING x 10'"

Gives you a flash light in a tense zombie game: "THE BATTERY STILL WORKS"

Plus if you shoot him repeatedly he does the action dawson dance, you know that shit is so cash

[7Greyfox7]

@M30W3R That was cold...

[M30W3R]

@7Greyfox7 I know, I haven't been very nIce to poor Mikey boy

I'll try to chill out a bit, if it's cool with you

[ericachugokei]

YOU ARE WRONG SUBZERO is not a blue version of scorpion ,scorpion is a yellow version of SubZero >:(

[ZombiePhysics]

"So they decided to turn Mortal Kombat into a sidescrolling adventure." So this is Batman Forever?

[ZombiePhysics]

It's a good thing this game decided to go for the Pulp Fiction route to explain the title.

[baval5]

also i should add that later games have fixed most of those complaints.

[baval5]

most of the people who think this game is bad are the people who go ARGH I CANT GET PAST THIS OBSTACLE WHY YOU SO BAD GAME.

you seem to be the rare exception who beat the game and still thought it was bad.

[Phaiyte]

@baval5 Mortal Kombat games are typically bad because there's no real combo system, no mix up options, overall extremely slow paced, all characters normals are the same, bunch of gay stuff like that that ruin the name of good fighting games.

[baval5]

@Phaiyte thats an opinion. I like a lot of fighting games, Mortal Kombat included. I dont play MK to be competitive, i play it because its a fun game to have a good time with for an hour with some friends.

[Phaiyte]

@baval5 All those negatives aren't opinions, they're provable facts. Whether someone can still have fun without those things is an opinion though. Mortal Kombat really just doesn't belong in the competitive world either way. MK9 isn't all that much better, and it's going to be kicked out of EVO/SBO sooner than anything else merely because it was just "flavor of the month" kinda thing.

[baval5]

@Phaiyte the fact that theyre in there isnt an opinion. Saying theyre negatives to the game is. I know a lot of people who hate Guilty Gear because its too confusing how to do the moves and too fast for them to keep up with. They hate that they have to train for months to compete with other players. Doesnt make GG a bad game either. No MK doesnt belong in competitive gaming because the skill cap is relatively low, but that doesnt make it a bad game. Borderlands isnt a competetive game.

[Phaiyte]

@baval5 Borderlands would have fantastic competitive value with just a few minor tweaks that can be easily done with a small patch. People crying about a fighting game being fast paced isn't a negative, it just means the one complaining sucks at the game. What's the point in competing if no one ever gets any better? Call me crazy but I've been a competitive fighting game player for years.

[baval5]

@Phaiyte Whats crazy is people thinking that the only way a game can be good is if you can prove how much better you are at it than anyone else. Theres a thing called casual gamers, and they enjoy a game much more for being fun than how long of a string of combos you can pull of without touching the ground. And Borderlands has 0 competetive value, it has a luck based drop system and certain classes are naturally stronger than others in PVP

[TheToast7]

@baval5 No, I'm sorry, having fun while playing video games is against tournament rules.

[baval5]

@TheToast7 did i say anything about competetive games not being fun? No i said games that are not competetive can still be fun. Thanks, bye

[TheToast7]

@baval5 Alrighty then, I was just making a joke.

[baval5]

@TheToast7 sorry about that then, lots of people arguing with me here hard to detect sarcasm =P

[Phaiyte]

@baval5 That's why I mentioned minor tweaks in Borderlands. It'd be easy to keep the class system and simply add "deathmatch" options with various weapons scattered over the field like any other competitive FPS. Competition however, is exactly what makes fighting games along with many others fun. Once you reach a certain understanding of these games, CPU opponents just become dull and hella boring. That's why competition is fun. (continued)

[Phaiyte]

@baval5 Human opponents will always improve, whether it be in general or just towards you. Not just the opponent, but the player as well. Trust me, watching yourself and others all improve drastically over time is a pretty great feeling. This is why Guilty Gear is still one of the best fighting games of all time. Playing "just for fun" is great and all, but most of the time playing competitively is a lot more fun than just mindlessly mashing buttons.

[rjakobi]

All Sub-Zero wanted was a Slurpee.

[baval5]

the game would have been harder to control if Sub Zero automatically turned to face his enemies, since if more than one was on screen hed spaz out. Not really legitimate complaints there.

[Algahiem]

Seeing the Wind Temple made think of a really dumb joke.

Q: Why does Fujin so popular?

A. Because he has a lot of "fans"!

[M413]

GameSpot gave the PlayStation version a 7.5/10, saying, "Mythologies is a pretty amazing meld of fighting and platform jumping and is sure to please fans of Mortal Kombat and platform games alike".

[TheAdmiral]

Possibly boring fact: There actually are species of sting-ray capable of generating an electric shock, it's just that eels are much better known for this ability.

[CabinetSquirrel]

Every single play through video would be better if A) the people making it didn't try to be so funny and B) didn't talk at all.

[Pedobreach]

@CabinetSquirrel you're missing the concept, this is RPing which is basically adding commentary to let's and longplays, while there is already a longplay. most of us here are watching it FOR the commentary. like, who the hell wants to watch this game seriously?

[Iwuznothere]

I wonder if the Lin Kuei have a rights movement to get people to stop calling them ninja.

[Tomahaukka]

But that guy in black klothing with spikes seemed like such a good guy! I kan't believe he turned out to be evil.

[Delth88]

Lol you guys are trying too hard with this one, this game was actually great, just because it has real life acting it doesn't mean it's bad o_o

And really? Commenting on generic enemies and crumbling platforms? Thousands of video games have that lol. Sorry but this one is meh.

[kaihedgie]

@Delth88 No offense, but sounds like butthurt

I like this game and I'm enjoyin' the hell out of it

[Delth88]

@kaihedgie Lol no, but there are faaar worse games out there that would be funnier to see retsupurae'd, the commentary in this one resorts mostly to criticizing illogic stuff shared by thousands of video games, that's why I said this one is "meh". Some of the jokes were still fun though hehe.

[AsashiBoS]

@Delth88 When I think about a great Mortal Kombat game, I think about generic enemies and bland, repetitive stages rather than a surprisingly diverse cast and wide range of environments. And don't suggest Special Forces nobody should be subjected to that torture.

[SinfulAshe]

@Delth88 .. To what twisted definition of "great" do you subscribe?

[Bashe86]

I lost it at "Dildo-wielding Johnny Cage" 

[AbsentIntelligence]

Sub Zero must have some serious rug burn on his cock after grinding his way up so many ropes.

[tpadget8]

I loved this game as a kid. I was so surprised when I found out it had such a hatedom.

[EternalGuardian07]

Diabeetus's epik narration of the water filling and draining reminds me of Full-Life Konsequences.

[vbdevil]

Sub Zero, did you kill Rita!?!

[Qiezei]

Everytime I see Sub-Zero slide I expect a slide-whistle to accompany it.

*Pweooooooooooooooooooooooow!*

[AzusaRockk]

wait.. did sub zero just give the scroll to the Dark Brotherhood in the beginning?

[redakdal]

wait a minute I liked Armageddon............

[xbxDaniel]

Man, Sub-Zero kan't katch a breac.

[SlamminWolfgang]

This is the krappiest water temple I've ever seen.

[amarcutler]

this video sucks!

[GeneticKH]

@amarcutler obvious troll is obvious

[Qiezei]

Can you believe some Chinese company ported this shitty thing to the Sega Genesis? And it makes the game worse somehow.

[TheLastThingWeNeed]

19:39

"At least the lawn doesn't need mowing."

[Dissruptance]

No this is great, I can hear the game clearly.

[Slugbunny]

You seem to be having more fun with this than the other stuff that's been retsu'd lately.

[xurin77]

Is it bizarre that I find Quan Chi's costume amazing? At the very least, it looks way better than any other character's. Maybe that's where all their budget went?
