    (Cough, this should be a poll, and even then it's kind of silly because the two games are so vastly different, cough).

    That reminds me, we need some kind of  "Portal Kombat" cross-promotion for this. Maybe Chell DLC for MK?

    fighting games dont qualify as real games to me personally 
    just going back and forth sideways beating up another character and getting beat up? either win the round or lose it ? 
    the fuck is that.. 
     
     
    i'm buying the video game Portal 2 where theres a game to be played 
     
    Edit:  Arcana Heart 3 is coming out the same day too

    April 19th is a popular release day it seems. 
     
    Mortal Kombat, Portal 2, SOCOM4, and Arcana Heart 3. AH3 will be a downloadable fightin' game title on the US PSN. I'm quite excited for it. 
     
    I'll probably be getting MK and AH3 Day One. Portal 2 eventually, and I still don't know how I feel about SOCOM.

    @Ahmad_Metallic:  Not trying to insult either, I'm getting both myself, but if anything Mortal Kombat is more a "game" in a pure sense than Portal 2. Something like Portal is more about a mostly linear progression through predetermined challenges and a story, where fighting games are more sport-like, with an opponent, a winner, all that stuff. I'm pretty sure most people would consider sports games.

    @Ahmad_Metallic: Portal is just shooting holes and going through them.  You can simplify any game like that.

    I had a hard time deciding but in the end, I can rent Portal 2 and get through the single player. Doubt I'll play any of the co-op.
     
    Plus, all the coverage has me really excited for MK!

    Anyways. I'm buying both! Getting Portal on day one. Getting MK after the reviews hit so I know it's any good or not.

    I'm not getting either on day one but I'm farrr more interested in Portal 2. Mortal Kombat is such a bland ass fighter, after playing Street Fighter I don't see how anyone can go back to any Mortal Kombat game...

    Portal 2 without a shadow of a doubt.  
     
    As I said in another post, I'm more or less done with fighting games for now and Portal will likely provide me with exactly what I need: 
     
    A fantastic, condensed experience running a half-dozen hours. 
     
    Boom.

    Portal 2 for me. I checked out of the MK camp the second I found out it was no longer digitized.

     Yeah it should be a poll, but I think we all know who would win, MK by far it's a day 1 purchase!!!

    I want to start busting heads online in MK on day one. Just because the playing field will be a bit more leveled with everyone just starting out.

    As much as I'd love to have both right now, I can only afford one and that's gonna be MK. I've waited for Portal 2 for a long time but I've waited way longer for a true new MK.

    I'll be getting both versions on the PS3. Mortal Kombat has Kratos, Portal has Steamworks.

    Portal 2. As much as Mortal Kombat  1 & 2 were a huge part of my childhood and taught me that gore can be quite hilarious when used properly, it can't hold a candle to Portal.

    Just remember, if you get MK, you'll have the chance to be dismembered by Jeff or Brad not long after.

    I'm taking time off to play Mortal Kombat.  I couldn't be more hyped for it.  I've played the demo more than any other game this past month.
     
    I'll buy Portal 2 on April 26th when Steam discounts it to $20.

    You're an idiot. 
     
    Seriously. Somebody has to be the one to break the bad news to you, because you're still here, still saying stupid shit, and still being entirely unaware. 
     
    And to actually response to the topic at hand, I'll play Portal 2, but it won't be a day one purchase. If my funds allow it, I'll be getting Mortal Kombat. If not, then neither and I'll be saving up for the three or four games that are coming in May.

    It's a tough call, for the first the first time in YEARS, I'm actually interested in a fighting game and it comes out the same day as a sequel I've totally been waiting for. 
     
    Still, gonna go with Portal 2 I think.
