I dont see how anyone could defend NRS' BLATANT recycling of moves to be honest. Its sign of lack of creativity and possibility, straight laziness. MK is the only game/series the studio has ever created and for whatever reason, they cant seem to create an entirely different series without what looks like using 40% of the move animations (im talking specials, not punches and kicks) from their already established series. You call it "referencing" , I call it unoriginal. Doesn't necessarily take away from gameplay, but it just makes NRS look extremely limited.
Seriously mate, right now you're being very, very stupid and I don't understand how anyone with at least half of a brain can like your post.
As I already said it before ... for years Capcom offered you basically the same characters in every single one of their games.
They're always the same, no matter if SF, SFxT or MVC. Do you approve on that? Do you approve on the fact that they have more than one character in one game with one and the same fighting style which gets recycled?
When it comes to Crapcom everyone allows it and no one calls them lazy, but when it comes to NRS - a developer who actually puts effort into their games and not only tries to set the standard for fighting games higher, but also manages to do so - IDIOTS like you start to bitch around and call them lazy.
MVC3 didn't offer you ANYTHING besides new characters and new mechanics. They didn't have a story mode, they didn't have a proper arcade mode, hell they didn't even have a spectator mode.
If a new Darkstalker games ever comes out expect the characters to play and feel exactly like they did in the prior games.
And then when it comes to NRS people start bitching without actually having any reason. Few posts ago there was a silly person who really started talking about MK 1 and 2, which is plain pathetic, to be honest.
When it comes to NRS games all we pay attention to should be MK VS DC, MK9 and Injustice since that's where these were clearly the market-breakers, because of the effort NRS put it.
MK9 improved drastically if we compare it to MK VS DC and that seems to be applying for Injustice as well.
You bitch about Harley Quinn having Sonyas cartwheel, but you completely leave out the fact that all of the other stuff she does - the way she acts, the way her animations are, her voice acting and and and - everything is top notch and beyond everything MK9 came up with.
The same applies for Solomon Grundy. Watch a freakin' video with him and pay attention when he does his combos. It's stunning how well it looks like. Show me a different grappler who can compete with the way Solomon Grundy plays and I'll buy you a diet coke and a sandwich with a lot of greens (yes, that's an insult).
To call NRS lazy is the most ridiculous statement in this entire thread and this entire thread is huge and probably includes a lot of shit, but nothing comes even close to the BS you're writing.
It's obvious that you're either just a damn stupid person, or simply here to troll, because an intelligent person sees how much work NRS has put into this game and that deserves a lot of respect and not the disrespect people come up with, because they see that one character doing kinda a similar move like it already looked like in one of the prior NRS games.
Grow up.
(I feel so stupid for even responding to you and putting effort into writing the entire text, Trollboy.)
And the first nay-sayer liked his post. Fools have to stick together.
