A quick reminder why PC gaming is the best:

That's childish cringe to be honest.

I'm not referring to the commercial itself, but how things have changed. Cringe or not, I'd rather have that than the ugly woke shitty stuff we have now. Your comment is what allowed these idiots to take over gaming.

I like it when they add any skin blemishes moles, freckles, cellulite (lol), different boob sizes, anything that convinces me the exact same model wouldn't just be used on Mileena et al.

Haven't logged in for ages. I bet I have a fair few new characters to play with.
 
Its a strange one in honestly, because MK 11 was my favorite game in the series. I feel like the lack of deaths in the story and the focus on tag assists from crap characters lowerd my overall opinion.

Yeah I can relate with that too. I wasn't a fan of the direction this game took despite it being an entertaining enough story. It doesn't do much for the series as a whole.

To think they started from scratch with 9 and now we are here. It's not good imo.

I hate the assists myself. Too many fighting games these days are relying on game changing sub systems. SF6 with drive rush and drive impact. Tekken 8 with the heat system. And now MK with the partner assists. I really think all 3 of these series are worse off for these included systems.
 
Its strange because they reset it again, presumably because it got too convulted, but the second half goes into crazy overdrive. They are essentially back where they started at the end of 11, only with multiverse crap.
 
I haven't played since I beat it near launch. I put at least 20 hours into MK11 because of towers and the krypt(?) or whatever it was called, but their's nothing really interesting in MK1.

Plus despite a good early half of the story, the back half delves into the most nonsensical timeline shenanigans that makes almost as little sense as the Goku Black arc of Dragon Ball Super that I lost sanity trying to figure out what logic the writers were using. Also the post credits Havok tease was very weak... like did anyone care about that?

Overall I'm pretty disinterested in MK1 at this point.
 
He's the main villain from the Amazon series The Boys.
Oh I never watched it. Just thought wondered why they called Superman homelander lol.
They didn't get Anthony Starr though, hence the one line of dialogue that sounds nothing like him lol.
A lot of people mentioned it in the YouTube comments. I read one comment that it's Johnny cages voice actor and that's why homelander didn't had a lot of dialogue. Don't know if true.
 


When I read the title I didn't realize who ghostface was. Then I saw him and it was kinda funny 😂 Edit: I somehow missed him in the thumbnail lol.

Noob saibot was my favorite of the new characters. and the animalities were nice.

the robots have been men before this game right? The gender swap sucks.


Ffs Ghost Face is good but everything else is terrible.

Story looks crap and who cares about Havik at all. If God's never got anyone killed last time this seems like no threat at all.

They gender swapped Sektor and Cyrax...

Noob Saibot looks terrible.

It's a shame because clearly this is a lot of work and content, but they have really misread the room.
 
Glad I'm not the only one that thought that looked bad. I don't even care that they did the gender swap, it's just... what's their to be hyped about here? I don't know much about Havok but he seemed like such a nothing character. Also they buried him in the main story but he's the villain for the DLC? Ghostface is funny to have but outside that, it feels incredibly weak.
 
Yeah they have really screwed up with this one.

The tag system was a gimmick to try to get more characters in there with the least amount of effort.

Also they need to invest in optimizing their textures and files sizes. A fighting game should not take up 140 gb.
 
The price of it is wild as well. Apparently it's either $50 or $60 USD depending on if you have premium edition. Now I'm not usually the one to complain about price when it comes to retail games, but for DLC, I don't think theirs a scenario where I can excuse it being the price of a full retail game (or close to AAA price I suppose) unless it doubles the content, but hey, the Switch versions DLC is $10 cheaper I guess.

The Switch version though..... It's special.
 
I don't understand the forced gender swap. Just make new cool female characters.

Are there any examples of female to male gender swaps btw?

You know the answer lol.

Leaving Jade, Cassie, Kotal and Sonya out and giving us gender swapped robots... sigh.
 
Since this thread resurfaced, I went back and I am now half way through the story mode (which I had not touched when the game came out).
