I don’t feel sorry for majority of Mortal Kombat community because they have zero self respect because they are afraid to say the blunt truth.
For real they can have it. Forget the gameplay, Forget the glitches, Forget the micro transactions. The story. Why in the name of Onaga do people enjoy the story of the past 2 games? But specifically mk1. Friendly Kombat 1. Baraka and reptile don't need to be sympathetic emotional good guys. And let's make sure we have some cringe pre fight banter talking about your tribe or your clan and how much of an honor it is to face them. If there weren't fatalities as a gameplay mechanic then it wouldn't even get the M rating. Uh oh we spent 3/4 of our story and no one died, better kill a ton of alternative timeline versions of people so it's ya know mortal kombat. We don't need to be stuck in the 90s, but mortal kombat deserved better than this soy boy hold hands thing that the franchise has become. They made Raiden a beta male and I'll never forgive them for that.
The MK community on twitter is the equivalent of a child going 'lalala I can't hear you!' when they receive criticism about the game lmao.
Yet the player base is minuscule, a 30 year old game outperformed it at the biggest major tournament, and everyone is claiming it’s dead. Every patch that comes out makes us hate it worse. I don’t see how those tweets corelate to the reality of mk.
lol real shit my man
Funny mk1 couldnt even hit the 1,000 entry mark with all dlc included and still couldnt do it while 3rd strike more than 20yrs old did is so hilarious 😂😂😂
20 years old and no balance patches since 😂 Ya love to see it.
Not defending mk1 but to be fair 3rd strike is a legendary game
@@sidneyhenderson6859 yeah also people are signing up for that game because they know it'll never be back and this is there once chance to play it at evo.
I rather lose to broken Yun Chun ken urine then touch Mortal Kombat 11 and 1
@@humaneshadow300 calling ken broken is wild. not saying he isn't good but there's nothing absurdly strong about him aside his super.
The Mortal Kombat community gets what it deserves. Period.
@@God1st949 I absolutely agree. I want MK to become a live service game so they maybe that will push people over the edge to actually give criticism.
@@JohnnyLongHands Apparently, it has to get worse before it gets better with this situation.
@@God1st949 I know. My thing about that is. How bad does it need to get? Look how bad it is currently and you have people shilling for the game? Can it actually get worse than this?
@JohnnyLongHands That would never happen. MK is way too big for people to make an impact. If they were to go all out with a live service, then the community would just accept it. The majority if the player base are people that come home from work and play invasions for like 30 min and log off everyday.
Same reason takken 8 fell off for the casuals and saw a decline in playerbase. People wanted to just play offline and grind on their own, they don't want to get beat online.
@@JohnnyLongHandsSonicfox just won $200,000, has visited Neatherealm studios and know the game developers personally. There is no living soul that should take his toxic positivity seriously. And as far as the other shills go, their love for a 30 year franchise has clouded their judgement. I’ve been playing MK since it released on Super Nintendo and as all of us old heads know: *The NRS era is NOT Mortal Kombat and if they don’t carry any “legacy” over from game to game, you will continue to get gimmicks that don’t work and character balance that is SHAMBOLIC.*
As much of a fan that I am of MK, I could admit that MK1 has been a mess. Between all the bugs, lack of content and questionable actions taken, or lack of action taken by NRS, it has overall not been a good experience.
The good things that I could say about it are the graphics and I actually do think that the gameplay is more fun than MK 11’s.
Like you said before, the only way things will really change is if you hurt their wallet and affect their bottom line.
It's hard for gameplay to be worse than mk11
Lack of content when we have a whole dlc pack and kameos out already is a crazy complaint every thing else I agree with
@@aidanayala2768content compared to past entries. There’s no extra modes like in 9 (e.g. 2v2, that randomisation more), and is krypt replacement is very grindy, tedious and time limited. I like the concept actually. But it’s just not fun the way they did it.
And some new content are time limited as well. The seasons lock skins penalty. The ship doesn’t present everything, but copies the fortnite esc type.
MK1 is getting support and content, but besides gameplay wise and the actual dlc character, what’s added isn’t fun or good.
@@phenom504 I enjoyed mk11 way more than 1 but I gave 1 a shot. It was a decent game til they nerfed my main into the ground but even then the game was flawed af. The hit box is all over the place, most of the vanilla roster feels boring as shit and not to mention but there's no 1v1 they force cameos on you and expect you to swallow and say thanks. They got rid of the arcade mode most of us liked and swapped in invasions which I tried to give a shot as well but it's very lack luster at times. Not to mention once you get high enough in ranked it's nothing but Jonny cages waiting to low guard and switch up with overheads. That's it that's the game. I'm fine if the game dies it deserves no attention whatsoever.
@@MiiMagus93offtopic but is Klassic Tower an arcade mode or not? Just asking
I’m a massive Mortal Kombat fan but I simply cannot defend MK1 - it’s an abomination in my opinion.
It still bothers me that we couldn't get Anthony Starr as Homelander but we got Megan Fox as Nitara...I definitely wouldn't have bought it if i knew i was getting Homelander from Wish.

Ive heard that all the QA testers report all these glitches but it never gets adressed bc higher ups only care about deadlines. NRS actually used to be model FG devs, remember they were the first company to ever retroactively add rollback to a game (mkx) and had rollback in their games years before their competition. I cant imagine the modern state of the company ever going to those lengths. I think it probably has to do with WB games in general is mishandling many beloved IPs for easy cash grabs.
Factos..WB is defo the main problem because its not only MK they have crippled..the Arkham games too and look at the horrendous sucide squad game
I’ve been apart of this community since 2011. We honestly don’t even deserve a good competitive game anymore. If content creators, commentators, and pro players are too afraid to say how this game is OBJECTIVELY horrible and bad. Nothing will change. It was fun while it lasted.
fax bruh
Theyr 99% paid by NRS.
@@Xepher being paid with what? Lmao these are minimum wage workers outside of their twitch and YT channels. WB and NRS aren’t cutting them checks. It’s just free copies of the game no?
What content creators hasn't shitted on Mk1?😂
@@tmerchead1 every single one who primarily talks about the game makes reaction videos other than play it, most pro players, (PND K&M, Mr Aquaman, Rips Arena, Sonicfox, Tweedy, UltraDavid, UnCagedGamez, Destroyer, Waz, Diff, Caboose) all given “opportunities” and benefits from NRS and don’t say a word about MK1
You forgot one thing. MK12 is infected by SBI. And yes I said MK12 because NetherRealm Studios can't do math. #JusticeForSoulCalibur
There's so many legitimate criticisms you could make about mk1 and you're tryna tell me mk1 is failing because it's too woke? 🤡
19:40 was so factual. dmc fans will eat you alive if you hate on dmc 3 but if you hate on dmc 2 you will hear a unanimous “sounds about right”. Unanimous negativity comes to games that definitely deserve it
Tom Brady touches on this really well. All my MK friends have moved to Tekken 8 and I don't blame them one bit.
Weirdest part to me is majority of the criticism is surrounded around the game development and community team and the players the people who are being victimized are defending them. Like, why are y’all defending the people who don’t GAF about y’all. Literal FGC Stockholm syndrome.
It's the weirdest stuff I've ever seen in gaming. I've never seen a scene get dunked on by the Devs that produce the game defending them. If this happened in any other game, the Devs would be destroyed 😂
@@RealMikeHollow people get so attached to these things that they get offended when you have valid criticisms of the game they had no part in developing. No one is saying you can’t enjoy the game but sometimes you gotta call the baby ugly in order for issues to get addressed. No one is trying to rain on their parade but acting like MK is in a good state right now would be objectively wrong and that’s coming from me a self proclaimed MK apologist. Lmao
@@RealMikeHollowI will like to point out that the Pokémon community likes to inhale the same copium for their games too. They’re just as bad.

Number 2: cage mansion 1
@@nrostova5606Number 1: Cage Mansion 3
Honerable mentions: Cage Mansion Practice
On a more serious note:
1 - Air kombat; feels much more natural and smooth here than in Armagedon, and should definitely be brought back in future titles like with meters in mk 9.
2 - Invasions (kinda); If your willing to play through the mode with each character, you can get used to how each character plays and by proxxy, may start to enjoy more characters than you normally would have without testing everyone out.
3 - The endings; have been confirmed to all be canon, which makes me apppreciate them way more than 9, X, and 11's endings.
4 - 3D era characters; this is the by far the most amount of 3d era characters nrs has brought back in a single game, most of which many fans were asking for.
5 - Union of light/order of darknenss costumes; their overall quality was 50/50, but the idea of giving each character an outfit based on their character alignment is pretty interesting. Plus, it gives everyone at least 3 different outfits to choose from without spending money for costumes in the shop.
6 - Kameos; more specifically, the number of characters able to be in the game thanks to the kameo system. The actual mechanic itself will always be divicive no matter what, but without it, we might never have seen characters like khameleon, motaro, darrius, and sareena again.
7 - Combo trials; their fun to complete and offer a boat load of coins for the shrine. It's also the only other mode this game has to offer instead of invasions and online so, there's that I guess.
8 - Character mastery system; gives people a reason to play each character much like with invasions, and offers a consistent way to gain cosmetics for each character.
9 - Sindel being good again; I and many others thought nrs would forever drop the ball with Sidnel's character after what 11 did to her, but they actually managed to redeem her a little bit.
10 - The earthrealm skins they recently dropped for kitana, mileena, and reptile; all three are debatebly some of the best outfits in the game, and are very reminscent of how mk4 gave some characters normal looking clothing.
I'd be more than willing to list 10 bad things about mk1, but it took me way too long to type this out. I'm pooped. 😮💨
This is comparable to Bethesda fanboys. It's been a year since Microsoft bought them out and nothing but Redfail and Unfinished Starfail. Few months away for Mk1 full year release and nothing to show for. Truly an embarrassment for triple A gaming.
I would honestly say all of Bethesda's career is built off fanboys on heavy copium. Skyrim was fun but I was 11 when that game dropped, years later I realized that the game was super bland and buggy asf. I feel like all Bethesda fans are stuck with that 11 year old nostalgia
@@bulletxwound3559 only now do people realize Skyrim wasn't that good

The mk community is the greatest example of stolkhome syndrome. The game is handled like it's a free to play game. This game has been awful and terrible since day 1. No one wants to admit that this game sucks. Wish I got street fighter instead. M. Bison got me so hyped
Listen as much as I'm ashamed to admit it, I love playing Overwatch 2, cause it's fun, yet i would never pretend most of the criticism aimed at it is not valid; people need to realize just because you like something it isn't perfect
Exactly. No shame in liking something others don't but there's no point in lying about it's state.
That "Wait a second.. Oh... Oh dear... Oh deary me..." Got me I cant lie 🤣😂🤣
😂😂
Granblue and UNICS are objectively better than MK1, but even more: those two games ooze with the care and love the developers have put, and continue putting on them. They are small in production, but gigantic in quality, competive potential and heart.
I heard that under night was basically just an update from the previous game which added rollback 2 new characters and some new mechanics. But if that’s true then shit this community’s been keeping this fine ass game to themselves the whole time.
@@Iwisoks but the thing with UNIB2 is that french-bread is a very small team, unib can be considered a indie game practically, and the Devs wanted to add so much more but they couldn't because the small budget and team, is french-bread have the team and money UNIB2 would be a great sequel if not one of the greatest Fg ever
@pepinillomagico1645 oh I know bro, and I don't doubt what u said. Honestly I don't really care how little difference there is between the older games cause to me it's still a fun game. I do not think that just because a company's budget is low that doesn't mean it's not capable of producing a great game
Wait remember when MK1 1ST trailer dropped majority of these same ppl were bragging on how much views it had over Tekken 8 and street fighter 6.
Now they wanna throw this cope fail out at us. We have the last laugh now and this is why the NRS community is a joke.
Mk has had a downfall as catastrophic as the new assassin creed games both are modern dog shit and I have got all the mks that is definitely changing to me only playing sf and tekken
9:54 What a quote, these people actually tried to say "Well see how you feel about the game at 250 hours and come back"
MK fans will say anything just to avoid giving nrs accountability it’s still mfs trying to blame WB 😭
I don't get why they do it. Don't they want a good game? 🧐
@@RealMikeHollow yea I just want the best for mk and I’m cool with any valid and fair criticism against nrs hopefully nrs can take the criticism and try to take the game in a better place season 2 until then I’m on SF6,GBVS,GGST,DBFZ,KOF
I was shocked with what I've seen posted. It's like they live in a bubble.

Takeda actually looks goated
He won’t be as fun as he was in X tho. And just like the previous 5 dlc characters he won’t save the game and he won’t change shit. I love the franchise but this game is dead and nothing will change that
"omni man gonna save mk1" "no actually quan chi gonna save mk1" "peace maker gonna finally save mk1" "ermac saved mk1" "will homelander save mk1?" "takeda is goated and will save mk1" only mk community can survive with this much copium in their veins
He does. But wait til you see nothing but takeda with chameleon kameo in all of your top 8's.
@@user-kz4ls7qt5lNever said he'd save it. Just look fun that's all
The main trouble is that that someone like me, who likes the game, would want to play something else. I love MK1, I just love strive more
also god the game has shit micro transactions and fomo.
@Pianohnonono don't forget about the online. The connection is still not great
Mk1 is like paying for a fully priced brand new car. Then you later learn it doesn't come with air conditioning, heating, power windows and it has half the horse power of the previous model. Then, the dealer asks you to pay extra if you'd like any of those "additional" features or you can earn them by driving 100,000 miles each.
Okay, can we just talk about how WB is literally ruining all of my fighting games. They literally ruined multiverses and have the same toxic positivity issues. I don't know why every consumer for WB is just blatantly defending them for no good reason, while all they've done is misrepresent all of the things we love.
As a MK fan, and one of those people who fell into the hype of MK1. I have a personal story with this, I was playing MK1 recently and just couldn't help something was off. This was just when Mavado kameo came out. I was playing some towers, and something just came to me. I'd rather be playing these kameo characters instead of just them being what is essentially a glorified special move. WB and NRS marketed MK1 as a team fighting game, and its just not. I really wanted to like MK1, and there are parts of the game that I do enjoy, but its just so rough. I want this game to be good, but its just not.
This is the black pills MK fans need to accept:
- Mortal Kombat is not a fighting game, it is a 1v1 action game. I'm not even gonna elaborate, they can mull it over themselves. Some iterations were better than others but the teams Boon puts together, whether Acclaim, Midway, Williams, NetherRealm - they were never good at creating a 'fighting game'. Still fun, iconic series; not a fighting game.
- MK's "esports community" was completely astroturfed by WB Games using influencers since MK9. Competitive interests was never as organic as they wanted you to believe.
- There is not a single MK game that can touch even the worst Japanese fighting games on a mechanical, design level. Not a one.
- Killer Instinct is the West's only actual fighting game series.
- If Mortal Kombat is to improve, it needs to adopt mechanical trends MK fans claim are stupid or outdated.
- Yes, Tekken 8's story is better than MK1. Yes it's because of one of the biggest 3rd act fumbles I've ever seen in a story.
Don't get me wrong. I know MK11 was very problematic in terms of gameplay but they put so much content whether that was gear, gear/custom loadouts slots, unique outros/ intros and a wide variety of costumes ,It sort of bought its way through with the fandom but MK1,:They literally just added kameos which no one asked for and completely got rid of any sort of replayability to the game.😒
Yea cameos should have been a side feature
@@Remorsefullyhumble I agree. MK1 should have added two types of fighting modes. One being a single one on one fight (gameplay that functions like MKX) and the other being Kameos.
At this point even if ed boon says mk1 is bad or has its flaws, people will talk against it like brainwashed monkeys
😂😂😂
Damn
Insane copium. MK deserves it's criticism and the shills accepting this subpar stuff from MK don't help it improve at all. I would have thought MK fans are tired of dealing with incompetent devs and stupid story writers who made Kuai Liang into Scorpion for some stupid reason but I guess not
It really makes you wonder if NRS is looking for a way to tank the competitive side of Mortal Kombat. They are intentionally making it bad in order to give higher ups the justification they need to tank the competitive side and just make it about the single player.
Mr Hollow I went against you in Shambolic Showdown in T8 (No Heat Edition). I won a round but got swept right after.
I got the rub bro. I’m coming close to Blue rank based on what I learned off that one match. Thanks.
Happy to help, brother. I remember fighting you. Will be doing another one this Saturday so hope to see you there ☝🏾
Just a quick point, want my voice heard here on something I disagree with:
I think people are misunderstanding Alana’s Pearce when she says “situational disability.” From the context of her statement, I think it’s clear that she’s turning a phrase to discuss “things that disable you in a situation” and not comparing having a child to having a disability. I think some people when discussing this are being disingenuous, but I think most are just misunderstanding her. Language is fluid and she’s merely speaking a little flowery to discuss contexts in which a pause button would be useful. Her follow-up statements on Twitter confirm this.
Great video!!!
Folks defend what they're associate with. It's better to call out the terrible situation instead of a shill
1. MK1 just gave me a shot at getting Sparking Zero. I'm too broke for it right now lol
2. It serves as a lesson to fighting devs on what not to do for both casual and hardcore community members.
3. They made Omni-Man vs Homelander happen. Definitely an unexpected move when they were first announced.
4. Voice acting was phenomenal. Reptile is a much better character for it and is actually better for the changes.
5. Megan Fox is the prime example of why hiring professional VAs are important. It is a big teachable moment.
6. The concept of assists in MK was nice on paper at first. Though i think they shouldn't do it again, I respect them trying to change things up.
7. NRS bringing back characters from the spinoffs and lesser known MK games was cool to see as a long time fan.
8. Takeda is back. I can actually try to get back into the game.
9. The netcode is only slighty better than MKX and MK11 at launch. (That doesn't say a lot, but it had to be mentioned.) Lol
10. Lastly, the game is graphically well done. Its just a beautiful mess of a game.
Bruh, I'm reaching further than Luffy with this comment, but i want Sparking Zero 😂😂
@@chaotix67 the netcode was way worse than those games. It felt better after some recent patches but on launch it was worse than mk11
These will be read out in a video we do on this soon. Stay tuned ☝🏾
@eshaanbasu9342 I played both, but I personally felt like I had a better online experience with this game. I just got kind of bored with it fast because Reptile and Sindel just didn't satisfy me gameplay wise, but Takeda might fix that. Well, that and as long as I'm not queuing with a bunch of wifi only players, I've had decent experiences.
Streamers, tier lists, bloated prize pools, and a lack of pride and passion. get that bag queen. Honestly the money makes it all so boring.
It genuinly makes me upset as a mortal kombat fan to see people defending the sorry state of the game when they could all be making there voices heard so NRS actually makes a fun game.
Let's not forget that a whole region still can't play online to this day
Shambolic. Can't believe they left them out to dry.

@@RealMikeHollow Thanks appreciate it
When Ermac came out I genuinely thought the game was heading into the right direction but nah, since Homelander is released we’ve gone back to square one where we have too many bugs and glitches.
It's obvious from the way that they've shown Ermac from the story and from the way they released him that they've probably been working on them for a while and that's why he was so cool. Everyone else was reused animations.
@@toobad111 No.
2 things great about MK1.
1. The Title. Looking back on MK11, I've always felt, "Hey, the font is great but there's just too many 1s" And I for one, am pretty glad that someone on the Netherrealm team shared that sentiment.
2. I don't own an Xbox or PC so this is as close as i can get to playing Killer Instinct.
While watching the last video Tom uploaded, I suddenly saw that the video was hidden. Does anyone know the reason?
It's absolutely shambolic seeing mk shills make excuses. People are still playing smash bros ultimate, street fighter 6, tekken but mk1 is dead. There's a plethora reasons why the mk1 shills just don't wanna hear it
Yah funny how people are so positive about all the other fighting games but MK gets all the hate, almost like it deserves it
@@Section8dc exactly my man. People need to realize when everyone is saying the same thing maybe it's true haha. Hope NRS gets burned over this, all they did was water down and nerf everything. Driest mk game to current date.
@@MiiMagus93 yah I like it more than mk11 but its still trash, at this point I've completely moved to Tekken and SF, NRS cares way more about getting likes on Twitter than actually making a solid game that will last
@@Section8dcI like mk11 more but tbh I agree with you. Truer words never spoken my guy. NRS needs to take their head out their ass. Care more about Twitter than their fan base
i don't mind Evo , but i want to talk about how the writing has been stagnant ever since MK9.
Mk has always been about this cool tournament full of different fighters who had unique abilities , not time travel or anything. And how the gameplay fell off since how terrible was MK11 . I think mk should be sold to another company because of how badly NRS and WB are ruining it.
It’s crazy how this was once a respected IP because they cared about their IP now it’s like let’s get millions at the expense of the consumer and quality of the project. It feels so weird that there’s a new mk out (MK1) and I decided to wait and see how they treat the game instead of just getting it on day one. It was a good decision that I didn’t do that.
I would pay a great sum of sheckles to see a MK1 talk with you and Sonic Fox
I want that sparking zero copy lol
1.) Low profiling is the least prevalent in MK 1 of all NRS games (it was a huge issue in all games to some degree)
2.) Little amount of come back mechanics (fatal blow being the only one)
3.) Combo breakers are back (MK 11 breakaways were very frustrating and could easily shift momentum after being opened up)
4.) MK 1 has many features that help with anyone that have any shortcomings like with being blind/deaf
5.) MK/Injustice features guest characters which helps with getting new people to try their games (not saying all guest character choices were good but I’m sure it does better for the game than not for bringing in newcomers)
6.) The in game training mode is the most advanced in the franchise (you can give characters their character specific power ups without needing to manually build them up like Johnny hype, geras hour glass, etc. Only downside though is you can’t use training mode online)
7.) The in game training mode is the most advanced in the franchise and goes very in depth in teaching you the game mechanics and characters (again it’s not the best in fighting game history but is in the franchise)
8.) MK is starting to use twitch drops which will help bring more viewers to MK content creators and tournaments
9.) Flawless block is better in MK 1 than it was in MK 11, it’s only used to negate chip damage and meter build. It doesn’t have the scrubby aspect of reversals like in MK 11 which created a turn steal meta on block and on hit
10.) The meter build/meter usage is the most balanced it’s ever been with the combination of flawless blocking and you gain meter faster in this game in general and build meter on hit (Every game before MK 11 always had imbalanced meter build like MK X Mileena is most people’s go to example of this since she had a 2 hitting plus on block mid if committed to the full string was 5 hits and safe on block which built hella bar, in MK 1 the meter build feels very balanced and flawless block can be used to check any characters from building meter)
After like a half hour of solid thinking and it was honestly difficult to make this list, I hope this stuff counts. I tried making points that didn’t involve opinions/subjective as much as possible
These will be read out in the video we make on it. Stay tuned ☝🏾
10 good things in mk1(not in any order)
1.Kameo-we get to see more characters in the game that they would not consider in main rosters
2.shrine- no duplicate items unlike other games rng system.
3.silver coin currency earned for just playing online to unlock free skins
4.forced best of 3 in ranked online. Gives a chance to learn and make a comeback
5. Cheaper premium skins costing $5-6 compared to other games that cost $10-20 for skins in $60-70 games.
6. More value per dollar with kombat packs compared to street fighter and tekken in the sense of volume of characters and guest characters included.
7.story mode. Has great quality cutscences, good story, did not evolve or raise bar but is still at quality of previous mk games.
8. Krossplay including pc. Mk11 did include krossplay but only between consoles.mk1 has full crossplay including consoles and pc, this was late but still good.
9. Wifi filter. Gives player the option to reject wifi matches or poor connections. Could it be better,yes,was it late yes but this is still good to have than not.
10. Promised support for the game. This is good,new content, new balance patches, they will not give up on the game after year 1 of release. Compared to like mvc infinite where it was received poorly and developer gave up on game,did not even try to "fix" game.
I'll read these out in the video I do on it. Stay tuned ☝🏾

bruh, i started to watch your channel BECAUSE you're able to say what I'm thinking about mk1, from across the pond, in a better way than i can...
Also when there's different views, i appreciate the explanations behind your thoughts and i fully respect it.
However, i tried to regularly visit the MK Reddit last season for about two weeks and, holy shit, there are some absolutely delusional individuals there.
I made a comment that was NOT as explicitly critical as i typically am, and i honestly believed i was being slightly positive and i was instantly met with [paraphrasing] "bullshit, no one thinks that - that's just rage bait"
Like, holy hell, that cesspool of an echo chamber is just unbearable.
The only reason i lasted two weeks in that 'community" is because of a couple people posting super helpful guides/tips to facilitate the Invasions grind.
Appreciate you watching the content, bro, and yeah unfortunately there are some very unhinged individuals on that forum. Rose tinted glasses. There's no getting through to them.
9:42 You know what? This is something that’s been on my mind for while, so I’ll just say it. Invasions is just Mario Party if Mortal Kombat characters got transported to it. Also, Omni-Man, Peacemaker, and Homelander feel completely out of place in a game like this.
Been a Mortal Kombat fan since the 90's.
If I have learned one thing, it's that people in the "community" are the very definition of "Useless Contrarians".
They don't want to believe there is anything wrong with their game so they don't. They want it to be hype and the best fighting game on the block and just absolutely refuse to accept reality. I don't like it either. I have HATED these past two games and I would love to see a proper return to form like MK9...
... But I am a Silent Hill fan, too, and THAT franchise honestly should have just died (for its own sake) after SH4. Seeing its rotting corpse getting puppeteered yet again by Konami for the 8th soon to be 11th time in a row after 20 years of nothing but garbage games... Yeah, I'd have preferred to see no games at all.
Mortal Kombat isn't nearly as far along as Silent Hill, but the quality of the last couple games is certainly on par with how NOT in-tune with the IP they are.
Learn to criticize what you love.
It's the ONLY way this turns around.
I won’t play one because of how I felt about 11 at launch. I remember getting my hand on the case and remember being flooded with loot boxes and a currency grind against bs towers at launch 11. So yeah I’m sad to see that I was correct cause the gameplay looks very… fun..
I used to cope on the game months after release but nowadays I feel ripped off lol. Other than the gameplay and characters. I wouldn’t have any other reason to play the game, I remember I couldn’t upload matches because the replay system was broken for the entire season of Sub-Zero and the patch that was supposed to fix it, didn’t do anything until the peacemaker update. At this point I just make fun of the game like how I did during MK11 lol. Not because I love doing it but because I love MK still otherwise I wouldn’t even shit talk it.
Wtf was Alanah on? I can't play Elden ring because I'm too busy. My house is chaotic asf and not being able to pause can be annoying. You know what I do instead? I just don't play Elden Ring, hopefully I'll be able to find some time to actually play and enjoy the game but I don't find it necessary for that to be an option. You can't expect companies to cater to your every need
The disability thing was dumb but there is no good reason for a lack of pause. I mean there was that pause exploit in the game anyway was it ever patched out? It didn't ruin the game. Not that I use it since I'm used to no pause since ds1.
I think it's to create a sense of urgency because everything is trying to kill you in the game at all times. I think it's pretty cool.
@@eb2681 eh I don't really trip about it since I like games like monster hunter and you can't really pause, I just can't play games all that much because life got busy ASF. Regardless her point and wording made no sense
@@RealMikeHollow since sekiro lets you pause I think it's more for the online functionality in souls/elden ring. I mean that is my speculation but it didn't affect the intensity of sekiro for me (and that's my hardest From Software game).
10 good things about mk1 with descriptions
1. The mechanics for mk1 are mostly good and most mk11 mechanics didn’t return ( cheap krushing blows, safe fatal blows, unfair breakway system)
2. All characters having seasonal skins (unlike mk11, only 4 or 5 characters had seasonal skins in kombat league and some characters in mk11 usually got skins like scorpion, but someone like kollector or dvorah rarely got skins which was unfair to who mained them, having a season store with everyone at least getting a pallet is nice)
3. the main roster (i think the roster for mk1 is great and better than the last 2 mk games,and the best rosters since mk9,they brought back the 3d era with the fan favorite classic characters)
4. stages (the have really beautiful stages like the sun do, or hanging gardens, living forest and have very gross and gory stages like the flesh pits, also having a day/night stage for some stages are great)
5. upblock mechanic (i think upblock was a good idea to add and stops players from jumping all game, and feels rewarding when you land it, it was very annoying to deal with jumping in mk11)
6. having most character rewards in mastery (i like that the more i play my characters i get the rewards like alternative skins,fatals and brutals with taunts, in other mk games it was random in the krypt which took long to get gear and skins i wanted)
7. fatal blows being more unsafe (i think this is a positive looking back at mk11, mk11 is where people throw out the move and be safe, this time you can punish which is a plus for the gameplay)
8. accessibility options for color blindness,vocal,detail audio effects( i do like the accessibility options, most other games don’t have good options like mk1, i do have hearing problems so being able to raise the volume when someone is blocking or moving is a plus for me)
9. combos (the game actually has combos which are fun, unlike mk11 this game is like mk9 and mkx where there is more than one combo to do, there is sareena, mavado,scorpion and janet combo extensions which can be fun,i do like i can combo off throws with kameos,or combo off setups traps with mavado or frost)
10. story (i do think for the most part the
story was great, especially as a reptile, bi han, baraka fan they had a chance to shine in a nrs story, also showing how kuai lang gets the scar, how kenshi got blinded,having kitana and mileena having a sister relationship together with sindel,undoing sindels retcon,showing raiden becoming the champion and gaining his powers, playing through johnny cage acting for a movie,the deadly alliance ect)
even tho there’s a lot of bad with the game i think there is some good,there is more bad than good with the game but it can be fixed. It’s up to wb and the devs to fix the game and somewhat up to us to be vocal about the product which can help make the game better.
those are my good 10 things hope you see this mike :)
You forgot a very good point...Sikander555 who has been carrying this game only due to his personality. He is the reason MK1 can be interesting to watch, and despite all the negative things he has to say about the game he still streams for the people. True legend.
I'll be reading this out in the video we do on it. Stay tuned ☝🏾
"mileena having a sister relationship together with sindel,undoing sindels retcon"- The fact that Mileena is Kitana's older sibling, heir to the throne and Sindel's own daughter, is not only Mileena's retcon, but also Sindel's and Kitana's at the same time. It amazes me how everyone whines about Sindel's "retcon" in MK11 (which was not strictly speaking a retcon), but this perversion is applauded.
I play MK1 daily and the game is not as bad as comments make it out to be. Yea invasions is trash and they need to buff some cameos and characters. But that’s really it. Yea the micro transactions are annoying but that’s every game nowadays. I just don’t see why everybody complains so much. I play tekken and the only thing really better about Tekken is the customization
Still no online training mode or training while waiting for a match. I believe it’s been a year now.
Also how long have you been playing uncharted 4 multiplayer? I played the hell out of that game when it first came out
One thing I'd never want to do is downplay someone's valid criticism on ANY topic. It only stops progression. This is probably why MK is in the state it's in, because there is a large amount of people doing stuff like this especially on reddit, one of the only places NRS communicates with us.
Calling Sparking zero Jump force should be a crime 🤦🏾
That guy is the worst.
Real talk social media makes everyone look fragile. MK, sf, tekken, gg all of them. Even the non fighting games. Most ppl feel a need to champion things they like. Social media seems like a war zone over egos representing logos. Like when vara dark was talking about mk1 changed classic costumes and got so much heat from the MK community. Anyway. Great topic great video.
Thank you, Sir ☝🏾 appreciate you watching.
1. Cross-Collaboration: MK1 is great at utilizing media to create fire crossovers. Homelander, Omni-Man, and Peacemaker are characters that really fit into MK1 due to how naturally gorey their respective series get. I can’t deny MK1 has some really fun ones
2. Cinematic Choreography: MK1, in contrast to its gameplay, has very fluid fight choreography in its cutscenes. The cinematically engaging experience you get playing through the story is quite impressive, and the cinematography is the GOAT so far imo.
3. Character Redesigns: I think a lot of characters look a lot better than their MK11 counterparts. Personally this is my favorite Kitana look of all time (beats toe-girl from MK11 and low-end stripper for MK9 imo). I think they did a pretty decent job balancing the designs between an amazonian warrior and pretty princess, and would say *most* of these characters follow that same agenda.
4. Name Reset: While I’m pretty indifferent *on* the actual name (Mortal Kombat 1), I think it was a cool thing they did in lieu with the storyline reset and was a necessary thing.
5. Stage Visuals: The stages undeniably are absolutely beautiful and memorable in MK1. Eden Garden is genuinely one of the most beautiful stages in all of MK in my opinion. They absolutely put an extra level of detail in stage design.
6. Tarkat Retcon: I think from a story standpoint Tarkatan being turned into a virus instead of just a race of people is a very cool addition, and makes the Tarkatan characters in the franchise actually capable of having depth instead of being brainless murder machines.
7. Character Story Arcs: While the story itself was mediocre in my opinion I can’t deny that it was great seeing characters that usually don’t get any shine have their own respective story arcs. While I think the new timeline is pretty wack as a whole, the *individual* lore dropped on specific characters due to the freedom of a completely open timeline is liberating and refreshing. It also allows for previous tarnished characters to finally get their own shine (Baraka, Reptile)
8. Alternate Kostume Designs: I’m not gonna get into how shitty the *process* for getting new costumes is, or how egregious the MTX are. All I want to prefix is how beautiful the alternate kostumes look - the art team definitely cooked when designing the alt kostumes this time around.
9. Sound FX: While the VA of certain characters is beyond garbage, the actual sound design of the game is actually really fucking good. Pair this with the MCU style cinematography and you quite literally have a movie experience
10. Roster: While the roster is missing some notable characters that will come back later in DLC, the homage paid to 3D era MK this time around is pretty cool. Characters that have been long since forgotten have returned this time around.
Other then these 10 things the game fucking sucks lmao, All things listed are pros with MK - but the issue is that in most of these pros, they take a step forward and then a step back. For example, the sound design is amazing but they insist on spending half the FX budget to get Megan Fox on board for 1/10 voice acting lmaoo. Or they have these beautiful alt kostumes with knots tied into the lore, but they are all ultimately locked behind predatory paywalls and shitty grindy gamemodes. Last but not least the core gameplay feels the clunkiest it really ever has. i had to rack my fucking brain tryna come up with 10 things for you bro, because every good thing about the game is paired with a bad thing. i can’t come up with anything else lmao. leaving that to the hall of fame MK glazers
email is mastercrafterd@gmail.com btw ;)
Haha I will include these in the video we do and go over them with the panel I bring on.
@@RealMikeHollow ngl did not actually expect for it to be that difficult to name 10 objective positives on MK1. that shit is hard. 💀
I think people who say that forget that when those who make stupid suggestions on how to improve the game they are flamed for it
SonicFox did show up for a Tekken 8 Tournament a while ago, I think it was Dreamhack Dallas, and he reached far considering how many entries there were, but not anywhere near Top 8
Sounds like the MK community is doing the same thing the Elden Ring commumity is doing right now -- coping hard and absolutely refusing to admit snything could possibly be less than perfect with their favorite product. Although obviously ER > MK still
Also another take on that tweet " other game OGs don't dare pick up MK1, won't beat us in it" something like that, I remember PR Rog doing well in Injustice 1 and 2 among others like you already mentioned. FChamp did okay too in Injustice 1 with Sinestro for a bit
Issue #1: Kombat Pack not having skins included in the pack. The skins have been lowered in price which I am greatful for, but that doesn’t excuse them for not being available to people that bought the season pass (like they used to be).
Issue #2: Invasions is not fun. They have been making it better, but it’s still boring and annoying to play. Either make a new mode or bring back the Krypt.
Issue #3: Character balancing is confusing. I don’t know what it is, but the game feels too different every time I play it each season. Halfway into Season 6 characters that I had trouble fighting are now way harder to outplay and characters that I had an easy time against I now struggle against more. Still don’t get why they nerfed Reptile last month.
Issue #4: Leveling up characters is a slog, and really unnecessary. The Double XP weekend is a good idea, but the problem is this fighting game is turning into CoD and I don’t like the grind as much. Injustice 2 as stupid as it is had something in its grind for me to work for, as much as I hated the RNG aspect of it. However MK1 leaves little for me to wanna grind for.
Issue #5: F*ck these characters in particular… Johnny Cage, Reiko, Raiden, Mileena, Omni-Man, Ermac, Peacemaker, & Shao. (This was more of a meme and personal bias. I like Baraka, Kenshi, Reptile, Quan Chi, Ashrah & Sub-Zero. Feel free to shit on mine.)
Accurate af, that’s why I dropped it after 3 months. Kept going to try and justify the money, but man, it’s just plain unfun
Super based ☝🏾
I like MK1, I enjoy playing it, but I can accept that people view it as trash, I even share the similar criticisms about it.
what game is this on the screen tho?
Uncharted 4, bro.
Can you please lower the volume of footages from other videos to the same level as yours? I'm having my volume on high to hear you talking but it gets super loud when you're showing other video footages.
I know its off topic but with Elden Ring, why tf does a single player game not have a pause button. That is so weird to me
It's always been the case with Souls type games. The idea is create a greater sense of urgency because everything in the game is trying to kill you and once you're in the world, you've got to lock in and stay alert at all times. Sounds weird before you play it, but when you experience it, it makes more sense.
@@RealMikeHollowEh I get the sentiment but I'd always prefer being able to pause a game if I need to answer the door or something lmao
Great video btw
@@LG_XD thank you, sir. Appreciate you watching ☝🏾
Mk is not a terrible game it just needs more attention to the community.The only thing we really have is ed boon giving us polls on twitter
While there are valid criticisms about MK1, that statement is not completely cope... there's some truth to that.
It's not everyone, obviously, but there really are people out there who never played an MK game bashing MK1 to look cool around their peers.
Yep this is heavily downplayed.
Just search for old hall of hype videos where you find capcom players in the mk9 era openly talking about NRS games in an extremely hateful manner. (Literally the same propaganda for a good decade) It's been like this forever, I've had TOs tell me that they're not solving an in person tournament issue that is 100% their fault simply on the notion that the game is an nrs tittle and they don't care about it.
I don't think its copium, its the little fgc bubble where they actually believe that since people gather in a room to compete it equates to success and I guess at that lower scope level of production that you get on other fgs you have to since they have a hard time selling their games and the fgc validation is just a weird flex that no game needs.
Play your game and be happy
If you hate the game you're playing play another one
At the end, games are made to sell a product, not to be accepted over a sample number as low as 10k people on a weekend in las vegas.
@@tmerchead1 😂
What game are you playing in the background?
Uncharted 4.
Wow. You don’t know what Uncharted 4’s GOATed multiplayer is? 💀 how Sway? lol
@@MasonDixie sorry I’m a Xbox boy unfortunately
The thing good about mk1 is the graphics and character design
I was not too angry about her suggesting a pause being put in elden ring if you are not currently being invaded, I don't see the problem there. But then this chick tried to equate a godmode feature as accessibility and I'm out. No Alana, that's a cheat. I feel there is a pretty disingenuous discussion happening at this time regarding accessibility, and the big content creators closely tied to some of these AAA game studios and the more mainstream content creators with big sponsorships have lost my trust at this point they remind me of the main stream game journalist press which is just as bad as the nornal press.
They might get away with hate videos for MGS4, being perfectly honest
Heeeeey hey hey now.. MGS4 was cinema 📽️
@@RealMikeHollow oh I agree but there's a lot of hate about it
I hate how this game really got the SF5 treatment and they ruined this game big time. Like Invasions dropped the ball, we can barely get dragon krystals, the outfits were too expensive and this game is broken as fuck. The people defending this game aren't really looking at the reality of what it's at.
1. The game sucks so much that NRS just might actually put effort into the next game
2. Good graphics
3.it has the coolest version of shang tsung yet
4.shao kahn is back
5. Reptile is human again
6.mk3 outfits for cyborgs
7.shang tsung has his classic back throw
8.has current/relevant dlc characters
9.takeda is in
10. Breakers are back
We will read these out in the video we do today ☝🏾 stay tuned.
Mk Tom Brady literally quit talking about the game yesterday
They made so many problems for this game I'm surprised NRS and WB haven't hit the lets pull them back with nostalgia button by doing a mk arcade collection 2 or kollection
What game is this playing in the background I need the name pls
@@DailyStreetFights1 uncharted 4.
@@RealMikeHollow thank u
@RealMikeHollow Ave played the base game, is this kinda like the multiplayer mode or something ?
Yeah it's got a proper story mode and then multiplayer. They're both very good.
MK1 is legit one of my most detested fighters ever -- a spammy, slow ugly game that bizarrely takes itself seriously. Plenty of people have been vocal about the problems with SF6 and T8 too so why do MK players feel picked on?
I’ve been a huge MK fan since before some of y’all were born. And I will say that MK1 has broken my heart. I really tried to like it but I just couldn’t. This franchise is dead to me until it gets better. I’m having way more fun with SF6. As for the MK community, keep coping.
Omg thats unbelievable really, there's no shame if you like the game, but the whole denial it's like trying to hide the sun with a finger, and the worst part is like you said, everyone else had to suffer the state of the game cause Its "great" as It is
1.they had some interesting lore changes such as mileena and kitana being biological twins
2.its easily accessible to newcomers and easy to understand
3. Cyrax and sektors classic design was beautifully made
4.the cutscene where Scorpion and subzero have their falling out was well choreographed
5.kaiji tang as sub zero was good he did a great job delivering lines
6.online is hilarious because you find very toxic people and it’s funny fighting them
7.the lin kuei ninja designs were simple but effective
8.the representation for the 3d era was on point I didn’t think they would actually add reiko
9. Some of the classic fatalities executed by the kameos were beautiful example:cyrax blowing up the planet
10. It made me want to play other fighting games and I thank mk1 for that🙃
Some of this was me coping with the fact mk1 sucks currently but there are some I do believe in and also I really want sparking zero😂
😂😂 it'll be read out on the video to the judges. Stay tuned ☝🏾
What game is this that you are playing?
Uncharted 4.
MK take's its self to seriously. From 90's tongue in cheek cool factor to mid-life crisis. Plus the series has always been bit of a basic bitch mechanically compared to other fighter's
Sensible take as usual.
Side note...wonder if either Injustice did better in tourney participants first year?
The thing about Injustice was how bad the balance was kept it permanently casual from what I remember
The guy talking about sparking zero saying people are excited for a game they hate is...
What? How do you even know that, the game isnt out yet!
He's a weirdo. Just tryna wind people up.
I feel like sooner or later, you're going to see MK getting kicked out of that big 3. Where MK is falling off hard, Guilty Gear is locking in! If not GG, it's absolutely going to be KOF/SNK/Fatal Fury, you see Terry in everything now.
It's sad, as MK was my first ever fighting game, but they only did it to themselves.
MK11 was a shit game and what do you think happens when you build a new game on a foundation of shit?
People are just gonna flush it...
