Mortal Kombat Trilogy

Great game and PC port works perfectly with full controller support out of the box and the d pad and joystick works its great but a liitle expensive

Finalmente vou poder jogar o melhor jogo da franquia e em sua melhor versão. As versões de console possuem muitos loads.

Disclaimer: Although I have been playing the Mortal Kombat series since I was 11 years old, I never 'got good' at them, at least not good enouhg to play competitively. Thus, take this review as the perspective of a long time fan with more enthusiasm for the story and lore than the game itself. That being said, Mortal Kombat Trilogy is far and away the most accessible of the classic 2D MK games. With options for controlling the difficukty of the fights, as well as the ability to activate your character's Dial-A-Kombo with a single well-timed button press, even someone like me, who has never been good at the games even after 32 years, can get to the end credits and see the outcome of the third and final tournament. (And that's not even getting into the hidden cheats menu!) Roster-wise, this was the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate of Mortal Kombat: EVERYONE was here. Characters who had died, characters who were locked out of competing in the final battle, even characters who had been irreovcably altered over the course of the series, you could play anyone from the first three games. Even past versions of certain characters, all brought up to the gameplay standards of Ultimate MK3, which Trilogy is technically the expanded edition of. No one was left out, and that alone made Trilogy a dream game for fans. Not every character is created equal, however. A roster this size is tough to balance, but certain secret characters, making their playable debut here, were given extremely broken special moves or ridiculiusly long combos that made it a handicap to pick anyone else. However, if you can look past the cheese factor of certain characters and the absurd difficulty spike of the final two bosses in any ladder, this game is a violent, campy, over-the-top joy to experience. And thanks to GOG, the original version's absurd load times are a thing of the past! I recommend MK Trilogy to any fan of retro fighting games with a strong stomach for gore. It's a piece of gaming history.

I tried installing it, but it failed at 2%. So, I downloaded the file in the "Extras" tab called something something "hotfix". I went to the file location of said hotfix after downloading it, and ran the application within it. This was a sort of manual install of the game apparently. This time, it installed without issue, and it immediately gave me the option to launch the game. I did, and it worked (though its a bit tricky to do stuff like reconfigure the controls; if you ESC out of the game, it windows itself and allows you to change stuff like the key config). I was also able to lauch it from the game's homepage as any other gog game. So all in all it seems fine, just be aware of this wierd little installation quirk when trying to get it to run.

I picked this one up for nostalgia I suppose. I used to play MK in the arcade and ruin folks. I do remember playing this on PS1 and enjoying it. I may have had much lower standards back then though regarding CPU opponent AI. Even on very easy it does that reaction to every move you do AI. As in, it knows the button presses and the reactions to those button presses. I seem to remember combatting this by just using Robot Smoke all the time with the jump back, kick, and then teleport punch which always made the CPU AI respond with a projectile. This version is the same AI. Even on very easy it's just not fun to play the "story mode" of the game due to the AI. It actually just destroys the game which was a disfunction of this generation of fighting games. I will say though that GOG has done an excellent job of making the game accessible. Controller support worked perfectly for may. Game ran as it should. It's just too bad the single player mode is so bad in regards to AI. This is probably great if you have a room full of old buddies looking to play each other but beyond that this game is a no go.
