Mortal Kombat X: Here are all the gruesome fatalities, if you can brave them

Imagine the worst death, then times it by at least 10,000

If last month's 'Gamers confess the worst things they've done in The Sims' taught us anything, it's that we're all secretly morbid sickos.

The Mortal Kombat series was arguably the original outlet for this, its cut-scene fatalities being diabolically gruesome and occasionally quite ingenious in their set-ups.

With the latest title, Mortal Kombat X, developers NetherRealm has really outdone itself however. Here's all of them back-to-back, courtesy of some deranged hero on YouTube (Obviously despite being animation this is incredibly, utterly, unbearably NSFW):

And the GIFs (I'm sorry)

This time around, PS4, Xbox One and PC players can look forward to such fatalities as 'ripping out a rib cage then stuffing it in someone's face' and 'grinding someone's head off with a sombrero'.

The designers are clearly pretty self-aware and verging towards self-parody now, with Cassie Cage's finishers seeing her stop to pose for a selfie with the corpse and stem a spurt of blood from the forehead of an opponent with some chewing gum.

God help us if and when Mortal Kombat makes the jump to VR.
