Mortal Kombat Thread - GET OVER HERE!!!

I think it's an inevitability. They're already doing that with James Earl Jones when he was still alive.

I really don't have a dog in the fight about it. He IS Batman. He's an institution and everyone sounds like shit as Batman compared to him.

Ghostface being added is neat. Ghostface being Billy Loomis, Kobra and Kira is pretty fun.
I like some of the masks they added. Shame they didn't do more of the actual Scream or FunWorld masks that exist.
But by far, the biggest disappointment is that the mask they use in the game appears to be modeled after the super shitty looking UltraWhites that have been sold since Scream 5.
Shame they couldn't be fucked to make it an Easter Unlimited or even an OG Gen 1 Fantastic Faces mask, you know. Like in the films.

MK1 is a terrible product all-around. At this point, the old games (Armageddon, in particular) should just be re-released for the current gen systems.

It's a fucking shame, really. NRS wouldn't get their ass up and never stop milking the dry cow that is MK1. The game itself is morally, creatively bankrupt now; but Boon and his retard DEI recruits wouldn't stop fucking MK lore further. Just to get as much as emergency revenue under awfully expensive and predatory microtransactions. No wonder the Khaos Reigns expand went on a discount as a purpose to regain their lost revenue.

They wouldn't port or re-release previous MK titles, but instead, abuse them, retcon them and turns them into a jobber filler fodder Kombatant to lure nostalgiafags into the bait, and cater to the MK consoomers. It's a cycle they're willing to double down, but refuse to take feedback at all.

Step 1: Call the people criticizing Woke Kombat 1 idiots.

Step 2: Say "It was greed, not the shitty meta and woke agenda, guys"

Step 3: Now bring up the woke shit in the game while still defending Woke Kombat 1.

Deception was the last truly great MK, AND was packed as fuck with kontent.

I still remember flipping out when I found out they brought back the Deadpool (which has MK2 Shang overlooking the arena) and the Pit.

Deception was the last truly great MK, AND was packed as fuck with kontent.

I was dumbfounded when the klassic stages from MK Deception didn't make it into Armageddon. No Pit, no Portal, no Dead Pool, no Courtyard. Come on, those were easy nostalgia points missed.

Really, if Netherrealms studios want to take another crack at that era of MK games (4, DA, Deception), I wouldn't mind it. They'll have to bring back the elevated sex appeal, though, that's part of the formula - feels like a challenge these days. Anyways: MK4 felt unfinished and graphically, it didn't age well, everyone looks like toys. DA was missing some extra depth, and a proper konquest mode. I wasn't a fan of them making it so commands for uppercuts, roundhouses, etc. weren't universally the same for every character at the time.

Deception was the peak of that era, but I'm still not a big fan of the fighting system from this era. MK 2011 was just so much smoother and faster that it's hard for me to stick with Deception/DA for long periods. Shaolin Monks was my shit for a while until I beat it and realized there's hardly any post-game kontent. You beat it and you're basically done.

I have a soft spot for the fighting mechanics in the PS2 games. Armageddon was a slap in the face. It needed like another two years to cook and it would've been a complete game instead of all the new characters sharing fighting styles.

Konquest mode was a fucking blast in it. It was truly a full separate game within it.

 

[Calandrino]

Uh I think the Conan trailer dropped like a month ago? Surprised you guys are talking about how it's going to save the game.

The beginning of the end was when they nerfed the sex appeal



And the attempts to bring it back feel very forced and "safe".

Word of advice, never trust mainstream youtubers like him with telling how it is. They have an image to maintain so they will whore themselves out and defend the establishment, especially around "sensitive" discussions like woke since it is far safer to blame capitalist greed rather than open the rabbit hole of ideological discussion that may get you shadow banned.

Unless your name is Synthetic Man, never expect youtubers to say how it is.

Why is Simon Belmont wielding a sword?

Armageddon really wanted every playable character in the game but perhaps the technology just wasnt there yet to make each one stand out. It was a honest effort tho.

I still take Armageddon over NR's slop tho.

In before the ugly women and male feminists chime in, but yes. You can want attractive characters and not be a gooning pervert about it.

Without question. MK is a dead franchise after ruling for 20 years. MK9 wasn't bad, but I didn't like it either. MK10 was meh. MK11 I liked more but it started agenda pushing. MK1 failing is so delicious.

Full gameplay trailer for Conan is out. Having watched the movie recently I can't really tell what any of his moves are supposed to be inspired by, everything feels generic except for him defeating a spirit to ressurect himself. The fatality is inspired by a clip of him toppling over a cauldron of human stew, but in this he's boiling a person alive in the stew? What?

The generic electronic action music isn't even remotely trying to resemble the original movie's booming orchestral soundtrack. Entire package feels half-baked at best.

He's a copy of Tusk from Killer Instinct, who was a copy of Korr from WeaponLord

I hope they add Punisher rip off named Chauvin.

MK9 is an odd entry to use when talking about sex appeal considering how fucking ugly the models were. Might as well have been men with tits.

You know its bad when Mileena was the hottest out of the cast

NRS seems utterly embarrassed by their past. They'll never release the older games in a remastered form.
