Another one. Reiko and Shao Kahn Animalities.

MK1's milquetoast usage of bisection/cut-into-halves Fatality was repetitive, really makes the game look insanely boring with over-the-top gore and mid graphics. At least with MK3/UMK3/MKT's animalities are goofy and at times amusing, MK1 is trying hard way too much that it doesn't make MK, MK anymore.

You would think that a fatality where you turn into a sheep would be humorous, but it's just the same bisection fatality we've seen a dozen times since MKX. Sure, some of the original animalities could be pretty repetitive, but you also had some really surreal ones like Rain or Scorpion.

Even what made Mortal Kombat infamous feels dull and uncreative. So instead of having Reptile become a chimp again and do something like eat his opponent's face this time, they decided not to make him change into an animal at all.

 
I hope someone mods the game so people don't have to listen to Cyrax. Hearing some ape talk gets real annoying real quick. Though it shows people what the Left think of Black people. They must all talk like Africans! Why not do something knew and go with Creole? There's only one game doing that and it looks better than this game.

And yet he never sounded like a monkey in 9 so why do the black women have to sound like that now? At this rate they should just have them eat cornstarch for a "health boost" and have random chirps in the match.

Maybe its because i'm european, but i always found it kinda whack when characters from all over the world sounded like americans. I mean, you wouldn’t want Liu Kangs old voice back, right?

Back than we had terrible voice actors in games. Just listen to Sonya and whatever Cyrax was trying to be in MK Gold. Getting proper voice actors from different countries that aren't pretending to be from that country can be expensive. Plus not all voice actors are American, many are Canadian.

I should mention that the voice actor for Kano in MK11 is French, Kronika is Canadian, Quan Chi from MK 1 is voiced by a Canadian. Many of their voice actors are also over 40 and from California since that's where most of the VA's are.

Oh yeah. Bi-Han's voice actor is from China.

QRD?
you don't have to if it forces you to go through the thing again
i tried skimming through the cutscenes but it was all wack ass nonsense

I can't, because that $50 worth of filler nonsense is not even memorable, nor replayable. I barely even want to skimming through cutscenes, and plotholes all make no sense. They made Havik more unlikable than before, and repeated usage of the term "chaos" and "anarchy". Havik starts to be forgettable, only to become worse from this ass-price DLC, and that his weak potential to lift the plot doesn't help making the plot more interesting.
The Rain/Tanya romance also has no points or explaination to begin with, throwing away characters like jobbers and overfocusing on girlboss fuel. The ending is also abrupt and sounds unfinished. Pacing is so cluttered that you can't focus on who to who. It's so shit, that even I don't feel like re-reading or rewatching cutscenes to comprehend the clusterfuck of the DLC.
At least Aftermath was somewhat interesting, compare to this shit NRS half-assed on under an awful price.

Rain X Tanya is a thing now? I thought they turned Mileena and Tanya into Disney lesbians.

I enever liked the original trilogy and the 3d games are meh but MK9 is fucking sick.

MK9 saved the series by embracing its retarded storyline and characters and playing into the absurdity. You get scenes like baraka shooting a shotgun and firing an rpg at evil trees as target practice, or shang tsung making a speech before reptile starts whispering in his ear, getting him pissed off and even shao kahn in the background being like 'wtf is his problem?!'. It's camp, like a 90s toy commerical cartoon is camp. Bad guys exist for good guys to try and beat up.

The problem with modern MK is in an attempt to make the story more 'mature', we start running out of bad guys. So by the time of MK1 we have like six bad guys left to try and act as antagonists. So with a lack of people to beat up they gotta start pulling multiverse crap and be like 'oh here's evil raiden and evil frost for you to fight - you can tell they're evil because they have mohawks.' But all it does is lessen the impact of their own story. Once you start introducing multiverse shit nothing matters anytmore, because everything is meaningless if you can just jump somewhere else where the same character is just chilling out.

Also. isn't Titan Havik supposed to be uber powerful or something? He doesn't really do much other than fight normal people and host a TV show. This guy apparently fucks timelines like theyre a bitch, but he can't speak dragon, stop three dudes from stealing his maguffins, and gets jobbed harder than shinnok vs cassie cage. Power levels in this game are so fucked up.

Some of the Animalities are alright but it's annoying they went for being more serious and gruesome instead of silly and random like the old Animalities. Scorpion turning into an actual scorpion is such a blunder. Ashrah being a fire breathing unicorn is pretty funny though.

The story in Mortal Kombat has always been silly. It's always reminded me of a cheesy kung fu movie story.

That seems to be the problem with a lot of older franchises in current year. Everything needs to be super serious and logical. Nothing can be absurd or silly and everything needs to have a reason for existing and make logical sense. I blame autism and lorefags for that kind of shit. They just have to know everything about everything and will lose their minds at the slightest inconsistency forcing developers to come up with stupid convoluted shit just to try and make things make sense.

From what I can tell though without actually playing them, MKX is just MK9 with more DLC and microtransactions and MK1 is the DEI reimagining of the series.

Peacemaker turning into a bald eagle that shoot machine guns while another one drops a grenade is the only Animalities that embraces the absurdity of the old ones.
