The new game looks like it might be fun, there's one fatality that features somebody being slow-clapped with their own severed hands

So I picked this up yesterday. It's a blast, especially if you liked the first two games. Going back to 2-D was a great move. Story mode is actually really entertaining (albeit hella cheesy, but it's MK so that's a given).

the Shaolin Monks game was really good, especially if you loved MK2 like I did; just nonstop action, Die Hard Arcade style

oh man, the new game is so wonderfully stupid. i'm amazed they put this much effort into such an idiotic story, and i love it.

another plus to this game is that it makes it really really obvious if you have worn contact points in your controller buttons FUCK U I PRESSED A style.

Definitely MK3. On top of having a fat cop and losing the cool ninjas in favor of dumb robots, they toned down the oriental flavor massively. The coolest thing about MK was that it was the closest to a Big Trouble in Little China fighting came you could get. MK3 just had no style.
The background were sometimes cool though. I think Ultimate MK3 was a step back in the right direction. But yeah, the cop thing really seals the deal.
Also, those fatalities, you can tell they really just didn't give a shit in MK3, reusing the same explosions-of-blood and exploding-guts animations over and over again.

Glancing through the early user reviews and folks, so far it seems like the new one has gone wrong in two key ways: having maddeningly onerous lootbox unlocks, and having female characters that are wearing clothes
