Well, this author's just been transported back to 2001, when baggie jeans and Linkin Park were considered cool. Fortunately, we all know better than to walk around with painted nails and eyeliner these days – but if any game was going to plot a return to the nu-metal days of the early noughties, we'd put money on it being Mortal Kombat X.
Before you all start jumping down our throats like a ninja performing a fatality, though, let us just stress that we think that this commercial is perfect for NetherRealm's latest release. It essentially extends a school playground fight scenario to an American city's streets, and it's surprisingly high budget.
This game is going to sell seriously well, isn't it?

I was personally waiting for someone to shout, "Mortal Kombat!!!" ... Yup.
When I first saw the words 'oh no' I thought I was going to be reading about another dealy.
I literally made this account to say f**k you to the author. Linkin Park is still cool and I don't care what you say. All joking aside the commercial is pretty neat though.
@infinitewords
@get2sammyb That .gif is glorious
"Before you all start jumping down our throats like a ninja performing a fatality, though, let us just stress that we think that this commercial is perfect for NetherRealm's latest release" I knew you would reference the other article hahaha.
This article has taken me one step closer to the edge, and I'm about to break.
@RawShark SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU.
I do find the news articles here needlessly opinionated at times
@MadchesterManc Always been our style, innit. Know that 99% of things we type is with tongue firmly in cheek!
That was so freaken shweet........
i wish they would take a cue from the MK movie and use NAPALM DEATH!
LOL I loved it
I don't even remember System of a Down. I think the bands I listened to the most in the mid 2000's were Hoobastank and Muse.
Linkin Park was NEVER cool. System of a down however are STILL cool, and always will be.
@Gmork___ I doubt anyone here, other than you and I, have ever even heard of Napalm Death haha
Hey, Linkin Park is still awesome, and they've moved on from the "crazy this was ever in style hair" (still a great song though). They're latest album is also real rock music too. However, I think of few other artists could use some love (cough, 1-D, Iggy cough).
Terrible advert. Hit the floor would have been better.
Sugar!
@infinitewords same here..
linkin park are always awesome
@Fenriswolf- "linkin park was never cool".. you're right,,

it has taken me to somewhere i belong...
@RawWilson1 yeah me too
Linkin Park are my favourite band. Im done with this site!
This former dyed hair having, jenco wearing, system of a down, Linkin Park, deftones, adema, Korn, limp bizkit, etc listener must now go sit in shame in a corner. Why oh why did I enjoy music like this.
pre white pony deftones is still amazing. Around the fur is one of my favorite albums
Man I used to love SOAD hypnotize was my last album. Are they still going hard ?
@Fenriswolf- @Fenriswolf- lol yeah probably. hey you should add me to psn list.....you know, if you want. due to us being metal brethren and all. gmork___ (those are 3 underscores because 666 was taken lol)?.......hey did i already ask you a long time ago if your name is related to darkthrone?
Great song, but talk about scavenging old gold.
In any case, the ad was kinda silly. Better yet, cheesy.
I'd just like to say that music today sucks, so I'm glad to see these guys actually have good taste
@Gmork___ Haha yea that was you wasn't it!? Yea I remember us talking about that! Yes I will def add you, being metal brethren and all.. ! \m//
@salim81991 Haha yea i guess.. If you were/are a teenage girl...or a dork trying to get a teenage girl.
Makes me sad that you have to make fun in LP like this.
They are still an amazing band, Period!
