WHERE DID MORTAL KOMBAT GO WRONG

MK11 at its core, has gone right!
The abominable, tedious unlock grind and always online games-as-a-service is godawful though.
I feel you could replace the term "MK11" here with so many games in 2019.
Female characters ARE a lot better in this one, though credit due to MKX for starting their trend of actually designing them decently

Still, it's MK - totally worth it for the goofy single player experience even if you can't/don't want to play with others. They've been a lot better than Capcom in at least delivering that. (Though I hate that so much is gated behind the online Towers. And the AI battles are such a waste of time as much as they were in Injustice 2.)

not just that slavery is bad, but that a storyline where time travel stops slavery from ever happening somehow promotes ‘white genocide’

it's jax's ending apparently? it rules imo

bb i'm gonna check that out

ha it does indeed rule

Shang Tsung trailer. Sindel, Nightwolf, Spawn confirmed. The leaks with Ash and Terminator probably true. Gotta give to NRS, they do these trailers well.

it's kind of exactly what you would've asked for if you had asked for it

Why did so many people in this thread think the cop was fat, is this a Mandela effect thing

He ain't 8-bit Mega Man, but....

I can't believe how many mortal kombat games there are. It's the same game, right?

Well you could say that about street fighter, tekken, king of fighters…new versions are the same but different yknow

They make a new Madden every year!

Only one of those I've played are Streetfighter II. I used to like MK1 and 2 on the SNES. I getcha though, just impressed they've managed to do so many, topping them every few years like the FIFA games

Xp lol

just watched mortal kombat (2021) and honestly couldn't have asked for anything more than what i got.

sold!

it has:

2-3 really nicely staged and executed scenes
2-3 performances with enough charisma to carry the terrible dialog (though sadly not the lead guy who is basically one of derek zoolander's model friends enlisted to act)
3-4 moments that will make you go yesssssss if you have any affection at all for the games
1 very funny, subtle-enough callback to the gameplay of the first couple editions that should make you smile

as an object of IP care and feeding it does more than enough

so cheesy, total fan service. story very clunky, but as B-grade schlock, good!

Sounds good to me. I am a fan of the very silly '95 movie and was worried this was going to be like a Zack Snyder take on the IP

yeah I just assumed that what this movie was gonna be so I didn't have much interest in seeing it. if it's ridiculous and stupid I might watch it after all.

there are some funny moments but i was frequently bored. suffered from a lack of lambert. all the casting is terrible imo.

Watched it last night. While it *was* stupid, it also wasn't very much fun outside of a handful of the fight scenes. I feel like this property would be better served Netflix Castlevania-style as an OTT gory animated series.
