To be fair to Max he's always been critical about lobbies but yeah that's not the main reason why MK1 is failing with everyone: it's the horrible online mode, no krypt, poor unlockable system with RNG, the store is monetized like crazy, Kameo system is flawed, poor launch roster, questionable DLC characters and the customization is heavily stripped down from 11, they even reduced the intros and outros
That's exactly what Max was talking about. Shit online and unfun gameplay is how you kill your game with casuals. All this bs about dlc prices killing MK1 is just confirmation bias and cope, casuals don't care about that otherwise FIFA, COD and Fortnite wouldn't be popular hell Tekken and Street Fighter wouldn't be popular. It's the same as the cope about the endless remakes Sony does.
@wolfman210 at least with Fortnight you EARN BACK the currency from the battle pass, you can't do that with MK and Fortnight is super casual AND FREE, even CoD is free now
I agree with you except for the roster. This roster is very good and has characters people BEEN asking for. The problem was that everyone on the BASE roster was seriously quarter baked and not finished at all. I think the dlc has been great and probably some of the most fun I’ve had online in MK. Still everything surrounding online play and character design has been awful. ESPECIALLY the monetizing
@edd4131 for me the Roster didn't have my main characters and the ones that did make it lost their moveset, Shao Khan for me was completely unplayable because of all the time I invested him in MK11
That and it's just NOT Mortal Konbat at this point in any artistic manner. Not musically, not design wise, not aesthetically. All you have to do is take a picture from the OG and PS2 era and hold it up next to their new counterparts. It's genuinely awful what they have done to this universe.
Its funny Mortal Kombat was originally popular because of its ability to push boundaries and go further into absurd gore and violence. MK1 just feels so tame and, like wildgold said, passionless. You can tell from the character design to the narrative structure that they didn't think to push anything and only did the bare minimum and it shows.
I don't mean to sound sensitive the gore in Mortal Kombat (which I can handle, BTW), but didn't people criticize the Fatalities in MK11 because of how grotesque and overly detailed they were? I even remember a RUclipsr called Tactical Bacon Productions calling out the game's Fatalities for going too far (or so he says they do).

In addition to having grinding mechanics, microtransactions and expensive DLCs, 1 other thing that is a no-go for me: requires to be online to access all content for something I bought as full price (I do not buy anything that requires internet connection).
The fact the game had no tag team but the bullshit Kameo system with those iconic characters being reduced to nothing more than just Pokemon summons really killed all hope I got for this franchise.

Maybe instead of having the fucking Kombat Packs filled to the brim with guest characters from popular movies and TV shows we could have gotten all the Kameo casts as playable characters.
David’s thought process for gaming: Wow Multiversus a live service game flopped on release and the small amount of players who still play it hate how drastically it changed from the beta, Suicide Squad kill the justice league a live service game flopped and everyone says it ruined the Arkham series, and Mortal Kombat 1 has less players than MK11 and everyone says it’s grindy and repetitive live service slop….. I know what to I’ll just make another live service game those never fail.
This might be a hot take, but the problem is not live serive games, but rather how it is handle. The sole idea of a game constantly getting better and better, with more content an improvements, sounds great on paper, but on execution... i don't think i need to explain. Honestly, i think the only games that handle it great are The Crew games and a few gacha games here and there (Wuthering Waves, for example).
@@Otherface live service could be good but every time a live service game comes out nowadays it’s a 9.9/10 that it’s made by the greediest of the greedy game company, concord had sony, suicide squad had current day rocksteady, and here’s a weird one you might not get but plants vs zombies battle for neighborville had EA. All 3 of those games have multiple things in common, live service game made by greedy companies, development for these games shut down in less than a year, and they all cost about $40 or more and have terrible battle passes (why do games that cost money have battle passes? Games like apex or Fortnite have those cuz they’re free and that’s where they get money from why do $40 games have more ways to steal money?)
Back in the day, and by that I mean like three or four years ago, I remember people saying that studios like this were "too big to fail!" or "Have infinite money" neither of which is true about anything. Now some time later we see how AAA game companies are on their way out due to constantly burning their "infinite money" on garbage that nobody likes. Sooner or later bad business decisions will catch up with them.
That's not what's happening though, what's happening is the entire industry's contracting its output and focusing on proven money makers because cost of production has skyrocketed to the point that all it takes is one failure to put you in the red. This has already happened in Hollywood which is why almost every movie that comes out now is either a sequel or is tied to a popular brand like Barbie. If you think this is going to lead to any kind of gaming renaissance you are going to be disappointed. If you thought Sony was overdoing it with remakes before you ain't seen nothing yet.
YES, Finally! I get pleasure of this, I do not pity WB Games for being so Greedy into milking Mortal Kombat when it needed rest, nor NRS for being so incompetent.
These directors need to understand that you cannot treat a game like some sort of buy and sell, when you release a game that's broken, incomplete and for 70 bucks, people will complain and on the long run it's not gonna end well.
I don’t want to discourage people from liking what they bought, still this game had every chance in the world to redeem itself, and failed every time, I’m not sad to see it go
Titans and the kronika nonsense is a joke, along with the timelines and now multiverses. If they have any hope in salvaging the franchise, they need to return it back to the original timeline and soft retcon the "other" timelines into being corrupted abnormalities created by the events of Armageddon.
At least the perfect ending for MK11 was great; wished they'd went with it! I wished that Kronika's corruption over the pantheon, thus Shinnok's irate, would've been explored.
bro that thing you said about the fighting game youtubers like maximillion having blinders on was so spot on...just keep spitting facts, you are needed now more than ever.
MKX despite having the best gameplay in the series. The story and new characters were boring and lame. This was also when the cencorship of the female characters started.
@@DB-bq6zcThere was NOTHING successful about MK11!! It suffered from dumbed down gameplay, race swaped ( Kitana, Mileena, Shao Kahn ) and retconned characters ( Sindel ), a stupid time travelling/reality warping story and characters who appeared out of no where, their existence didn't make any sense and they didn't fit in MK lore ( Titans ) and don't get me started on the absurd power scaling!
If the game is still rushed, broken and unfinished now, it probably was even worse on release. And no one forced people who did to buy before it was good and fixed. Maybe they will learn next time.
Khaos Reigns was a gigantic fumble. Instead of some great 3D era characters returning and some cool guest characters like Deathstroke and Doomslayer, we got genderswapped Cyrax and Sector, Ghostface, and another terminator character
This game is what taught me to just not pre order anything anymore. The gameplay was better than mk11 but that wasnt difficult to achieve. I hope netherrealm doesnt end up like the companies under activision, just pumping out one franchise forever. Love your videos man
@@slowmojo9355 he's talking about comboing, which he's right. a lot of people that liked the fast pace and combo scheme of mkx felt fairly at home with mk1. i like to actually be able to hurt people and not have my combo finish at 26%. mk11 was very low damage. i also didn't like their meter system. i don't think meter should ever be placed on a time limit. but mk11 did and most likely will continue to do better than mk1 because it's a completed game. everything that mk1 is missing, mk11 has. cosmetics, intros, lack of (crazy) microtransactions, etc. unfortunately, mk11 and mk1 turned me into a tekken player and i won't be looking back.
Another thing I also want to bring up is that there are people who make mods make waaay better skins than Netherrealm. So yeah, the skins that Netherrealm announce are not worth it
Maximillion doesn't talk about Invasion because he just refuses to play it. The guy literally just plays multiplayer matches in everything. Because he's bouncing from game to game constantly he doesn't interact with the grind in like any game.
I dont think ive actually ever watched a video before where I agreed with every single word out their mouth. This video is perfect. I couldnt have said it any better
Except the 2:36 that was way too much like I get it you called him idiot in 9 different ways like we don't need another one especially one that goes way too close on the line between "I wasn't saying he unalived" and "we're gonna suppose if he unalives..."
I think what could save the franchise at this point is, if they make a Mortal Kombat 12 that follows exactly where Mortal Kombat 11 left off, and they pretend this sh*t show of MK1 never happened. And oh for the love of God, drop the whole multiverse piece of crap.
Naw they need to give MK a rest ant let people kind of forget this franchise for a few years, they be better of Making Injustice 3 but make it good to redeem themselves.
Honestly they should follow the story after mkx. No Kronika, no multiverse of madness and no revamps and genderbends. Just make a freakin casual friendy Mk9/mkx gameplay with no kameos. And make a Krypt 2.0. That would make the franchise alive.
@@ashuea2all they gotta do is copy n paste mkx/mk9 its the gameplay n bots love playing the same exact game for years nrs changes is what kills them not the lore
YES!! THAT is what they should've done from the goddamn get-go! This was supposed to be about Liu Kang training the Great Kung Lao and dropped it and gave us a stupid jade jaguar and the rest as a result!
Honestly, this game made me hate Mortal Kombat…which is saying something since I have been playing since Mk4. It was just so unfun. Everything was rushed and basically unfinished. Intros were shortened but “loading is instant” as if we cannot wait for 20 secs. Skins are fucking expensive and even LESS than MK11! Which did have crazy amounts of duplicates but it had more customization than the newer game. The only thing saving this game are the fucking mods lmao
I was one of the people who brought the game day one on the switch and I definitely regretted it. It doesn’t really surprise me that they are pulling the plug on it. I am really sad that see a series that I really enjoy going through this all because higher ups don’t know their head from their behind
Serves them right for not allowing Gamers from Bulgaria and Russia to play it online. Punishing Gamers because a Dictator in a Green T-Shirt is losing the War he started? Thats dum!
Should focus on the single player experience. I don't feel like playing 8 hours a day to be marginally good enough to fight strangers online I'll never talk to as oppose to local friends and others I meet in person at conventions.
Remember when Mortal Kombat used to stand for the side of gaming that's absolutely unapologetic for being itself (from violence to provocative outfits and so on)? Remember when it was the title that had the balls to push against mainstream narratives? I do. It's 100% a sign that a franchise is dying when the very core of its values are almost completely gone from the foundations. And that's just one side of what's crumbling with Mortal Kombat. Oh, and, lastly, Scorpion in MK1 will never be Scorpion in my eyes. Multiversal storytelling is pathetic, and it has to go away as soon as possible.
Your 100% spot on my man. And as a hardcore MK fan since the original MK on the Genesis, it pains me so much to see corporate penny pushers and big business greed ruin one of my favorite franchises in gaming.
Agree man, a lot of ppl done understand. I also was a fan since the Super Nintendo MKs was only 5 or so not even old enuff to play but still did and beat them! Sucks it came to do this and MK1 is trash , tried to like it and bypass the bs and naw!
I wouldn't take a single thing out of MaxShillian Dood's mouth seriously tbh. He's there to overract like: "WOAHHHH DUDE! THIS GAME IS SEW MUCH FUN!!" for his clueless audience, hype/shill a game for 2 weeks, and never play it again. Move onto next product he's paid to shill. Nothing noteworthy.
I watched Super's video on it, and certain people really do have tunnel vision. All he talked about were the mechanics of the game, and how theyve gotten better, but still need improvement or like sub zero needing tweaking. He spent more time complimenting the game rather than critically looking at what went wrong. The 10 people that still play MK1 are just gobsmacked as to why no one wants to play genderswapped Johnny Cage vs emasculated Homelander the videogame with 10 dollar skins.
3:45 You know what's hilarious. I don't care about any of this. Glitches and such in a "new" game are not shocking anymore. The hiring of Megan Fox and the redesign of Johnny Cage just made me stay clear of this game. I absolutely detest both!
As much as i dislike the hate MK1 has received since launch, the fact is that it's well deserved. Been a fan since the very first game and it's sad to see this kind of decline for the franchise. As soon as it was announced WB were buying NRS I had a knot in my stomach. Now I know why.
People said we were haters for calling out that this would happen thanks to a combo of bad decisions from WB Games, from Suicidr Squad to Multiversus, those failures would hit MK1 head on.
Netherrealms should be free and start a new IP... MK was good, restarted 3+ times already, WB won't give up the name rights. Yeah we will get MK 2 for sure but I don't have any hope.
I am Sindel main and I was forced to buy custom skin for her (which looked just less ugly) at the release because her standard skin was ugly as fuck. And all about her except her hair design is horribly disgusting. I was shocked how they could fuck her up after MK11. MK11 Sindel were a goddess looking and extremely fun gameplay
Nah! All those content creators are not dumb, they know exactly what is wrong with the game, they just avoid saying what everyone already knows so they do not lose whatever benefits they receive from WB. Just like those Disney shills that keep saying that Marvel and Star Wars is great nowadays.
The time of release it now and fix it later needs to stop. That is why I wait for the complete edition of titles at a drastically low price of twenty USD if it is a title that I am interested in.
Someone remind me. I know about how they introduced an openly gay character in X, made the characters ugly on purpose in X, then made a Trump allegory in 11, but what other examples of Leftist activism existed in Mortal Kombat?
Maximillian didnt say things so bad tbh but he misses the actual problem. But goddamn THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE UNDERDAWG WHO JUST SAYS THE SAME SHIT OVER AND OVER WHILE KISSING WB'S ASS cuz of course rhe bank account go up. But even some other mk based youtubers starts to talk shit about it, even tho they wouldn't go that hardcore on it. Yet that mofo always kisses their butts. But yeah tbh with Maximillian is frustrating that he is so blind and looks at the wall behind him while on the other side the world is burning and doesnt say shit, tho I still love Max but thats dumb what he does
Bruh ofc hate people just trying to have some hope on the game he even says shit about MK1 that shit is wild people are so barbaric just cuz they aren't totally hopeless
So bro stfu cuz I used to defend that man snd used to love his content but since mk1 I slowly started to look doubtful at his videos until I could take it anymore
@ all they had to do was keep the run mechanic and they could have changed everything else but to fair mk just takes assets from old games a reuse them so it’s nothing new
@@scrapcuz8370 they constantly try n make gameplay changes they need to stop after mk11 i would just copy and paste mkx every time they make a game they want new mechanics but you see people don’t appreciate it so just give em the same game lmao with barely any changes 😂
@ the mechanics after mkx was just terrible krushing blows was trash up block trash flawless block trash the best mechanic was the run button imo it just actually took some execution to implement into your gameplay so people didn’t like it
the actual problem is woke. this is what happens when you butcher your own games to pander to the modern agendas and Ieft marginal groups. Woke-tal Kombat 1 is a game run by woke companies, targeting the they/them community as their audience. An audience that never played the OG games, never been a fan of MK or games at all, and only entered the gaming after it has become a mainstream, and cares for nothing but the diversity included in games. like a wise man said, everything woke turns to shi... :)
Awesome video ,thus the beat video I seen all month ! Of November n keeping my fav of December, I knew those guys were off I unsuscribed to under dawg a year ago n never ever listened To max 😅
Max has always only given his honest opinion when it’s safe to do so. He’ll shill for all the games until 6 months later when the people turn on it. Then he’ll release a “let’s talk about some of the problems with X game”. He’s been doing it for years.
Yup, remember he was one of the prime examples talking about how they wanted "loose broken fighting games" and got DNF duel, got on the hype train with that but now doesnt even bother playing it anymore after everyone hated on it
Yeah, max is too chicken-shit and nerdy and will play it safe/dumb so the "mob" of the totalitarian left won't ruin his' brand. thanks for calling it for what it is and using that allegory of dogshit on a pizza pie. It's not the crust that's bad, it's the dog shit. I hate how my beloved franchise is just now money fodder thanks to WB. I know boon is passionate but whoever helped make this game, is not.
I don't know this guy. But I consider him a friend. He right about everything, even the Maximilian shit (I like that guy btw). When I played MK11 story mode and saw that D'Vorah, a character no one fucking liked, killed OUR Scorpion, for him to be replaced by his "younger" self, I knew plot wise this franchise was fucked. Can we go back to the MKX times? Were the game was actually good, where we had a great amount of game modes and unlockables, where the story was actually fun and interesting, where we had good priced DLC characters and costumes that was actually worth paying for (costumes came in packs bundles btw, so u were getting like 4 costumes for the price of 2 nowadays)...
Mortal Kombat 1 in 2025: dead, it's over. No one's gonna even care about it! Super Bomberman R-2 in 2025: still active (mostly Japanese players & try-hards, but more lively). We made it to the Good Ending
good news. MK 1 is trash the MK series died a long time ago dude. Ed Boon killed the series. John Tobias is the heart and soul of the MK series. i hope WB sells the IP MK to another Video Game Company.
Should of saved myself $120 usd when I bought MK1 for PS5…..paid an extra $25 dollars to get the game from my local GameStop a day early. This is pathetic on NRS part, low key infuriating.
All RUclips channels that want a good relationship with NRS focuses on nitpicks instead of addressing the big issues! It's great to see people like Tom Brady, Dynasty and yourself calling out their bullshit!
Happy to say after getting burnt 🥵 with premium price on the initial game I helped make it die not buying the stupid DLC. And ur absolutely right I will not be buying the next MK until probably a year into its life cycle. I’m exhausted learning 💩 I can’t even enjoy. Been on MK 11 since the release of this mess of a game and will stay there. They will tumble pretty bad now that the market saw how they operate and with games like COD 6, Marvel Rivals for free 😂😂 and the bid daddy of them all GTA6 around the corner. GOOD LUCK 🤞 PEEPS at NRS & WB. Oh and on the RUclipsrs point you are absolutely right. The hype these idiots create over new characters only to turn around and say they are broken 😠 is so dumb. I blame most of them for this game because they always hype up garbage 🗑️ to gain favour with the studio or get tweeted out by Ed boon. This franchise is in trouble.
MK lost it when they started every character that doesn't belong in their universe: Rambo, Homelander?, Omni Man and the villain from the Scream movie... They couldn't be creative and make decent characters anymore, so they shove these "characters" for more money...
If Sub Zero himself is telling me MK is done, then it's absolutely true...
No one beats Sub-Zero.
I will accept this sub zero than the actual one at least this one isn't %ucking transektor
He must've consult with the elder gods who're dead now

I know what to I’ll just make another live service game those never fail.
Hogwarts Legacy is a success.
Let's ignore that and double down on Mobile and Live service
This might be a hot take, but the problem is not live serive games, but rather how it is handle. The sole idea of a game constantly getting better and better, with more content an improvements, sounds great on paper, but on execution... i don't think i need to explain.
Honestly, i think the only games that handle it great are The Crew games and a few gacha games here and there (Wuthering Waves, for example).
@@Otherface live service could be good but every time a live service game comes out nowadays it’s a 9.9/10 that it’s made by the greediest of the greedy game company, concord had sony, suicide squad had current day rocksteady, and here’s a weird one you might not get but plants vs zombies battle for neighborville had EA. All 3 of those games have multiple things in common, live service game made by greedy companies, development for these games shut down in less than a year, and they all cost about $40 or more and have terrible battle passes (why do games that cost money have battle passes? Games like apex or Fortnite have those cuz they’re free and that’s where they get money from why do $40 games have more ways to steal money?)
They are so desperate, WB already went crawling back to Fornite. Desperate enough to share profits with Epic games now.
Back in the day, and by that I mean like three or four years ago, I remember people saying that studios like this were "too big to fail!" or "Have infinite money" neither of which is true about anything. Now some time later we see how AAA game companies are on their way out due to constantly burning their "infinite money" on garbage that nobody likes. Sooner or later bad business decisions will catch up with them.
That's not what's happening though, what's happening is the entire industry's contracting its output and focusing on proven money makers because cost of production has skyrocketed to the point that all it takes is one failure to put you in the red.
This has already happened in Hollywood which is why almost every movie that comes out now is either a sequel or is tied to a popular brand like Barbie.
If you think this is going to lead to any kind of gaming renaissance you are going to be disappointed.
If you thought Sony was overdoing it with remakes before you ain't seen nothing yet.
NRS is not big at all. It's owned by WB. Check your facts.
You forgot that top guys in does companies like WB are so out of touch with the games and gamers..
Not every game needs to be a AAA game with 1000 people working on a budget of 300 mil or more. This system is unsustanaible.
The sooner the better, that's why I'm retro thru and thru. Things were sooo much better back then, before the Gen 5 things existed.
YES, Finally! I get pleasure of this, I do not pity WB Games for being so Greedy into milking Mortal Kombat when it needed rest, nor NRS for being so incompetent.
YES!!
These directors need to understand that you cannot treat a game like some sort of buy and sell, when you release a game that's broken, incomplete and for 70 bucks, people will complain and on the long run it's not gonna end well.
They understand, the simply don't give a single fuck. Many of them are even worse than executives and investors when it comes to being greedy scum.
I don’t want to discourage people from liking what they bought, still this game had every chance in the world to redeem itself, and failed every time, I’m not sad to see it go
Failed?
Did he stutter?@@dylansharp8471
making kombat pack $30, Khaos reigns $60 and Shang Tsung $10, yet still low content compare to MK11, what were they thinking?
WB buying Midway was a tragedy.
Titans and the kronika nonsense is a joke, along with the timelines and now multiverses. If they have any hope in salvaging the franchise, they need to return it back to the original timeline and soft retcon the "other" timelines into being corrupted abnormalities created by the events of Armageddon.
At least the perfect ending for MK11 was great; wished they'd went with it! I wished that Kronika's corruption over the pantheon, thus Shinnok's irate, would've been explored.
Comentário mais sábio...
Well done SBI and WB Games, you've successfully burned yet another popular franchise to the ground
No better than with TTG
What about SBI?
And burn is a bit much.
Earlier this year i needed to decide on either Mk1 or SF6. I definitely made the right choice with sf6
Yuh I would choose copy n paste same mechanics
bro that thing you said about the fighting game youtubers like maximillion having blinders on was so spot on...just keep spitting facts, you are needed now more than ever.
Its because Max is in the pockets of WB/Netherrealm sort of like a Chill.
Nah
No all the RUclipsrs listened to a leaker and new the game was finished
Indeed... Lest we forget Underdawg, Uncaged and 4thsnake too!
SF6 was so good I didn't even bother trying MK1.
MK11 was the beginning of the MK franchise downfall
mk11 was superior
Naw, they just failed to fix the issues ie breakaway, jumpins, auto meter build
You got it mixed up
Mk11 was the successful standard of the franchise.
Mk1 was the beginning of the MK franchise downfall
MKX despite having the best gameplay in the series. The story and new characters were boring and lame. This was also when the cencorship of the female characters started.
@@DB-bq6zcThere was NOTHING successful about MK11!! It suffered from dumbed down gameplay, race swaped ( Kitana, Mileena, Shao Kahn ) and retconned characters ( Sindel ), a stupid time travelling/reality warping story and characters who appeared out of no where, their existence didn't make any sense and they didn't fit in MK lore ( Titans ) and don't get me started on the absurd power scaling!
If the game is still rushed, broken and unfinished now, it probably was even worse on release.
And no one forced people who did to buy before it was good and fixed. Maybe they will learn next time.
MK1 is the Sonic 06 of MK! Can't stress it enough. Miyamoto actually said a game is bad forever like that, but I don't think he takes his own advice.
Khaos Reigns was a gigantic fumble. Instead of some great 3D era characters returning and some cool guest characters like Deathstroke and Doomslayer, we got genderswapped Cyrax and Sector, Ghostface, and another terminator character
Genderswapped robo-ninjas were actually cool though. The new Cyrax in particular is wholesome and lovable
This game is what taught me to just not pre order anything anymore. The gameplay was better than mk11 but that wasnt difficult to achieve. I hope netherrealm doesnt end up like the companies under activision, just pumping out one franchise forever.
Love your videos man
Well if its supposedly better than Mk11, how come it hasn't sold not even half of what MK11 sold, so much for being better😂😂
Did it really took MK1 for you to realize that Pre-Order is a scam? This issues has become common for nearly a decade now
@@ayrtonjoga Ive never really pre ordered any games except for the mk series
@@slowmojo9355 he's talking about comboing, which he's right. a lot of people that liked the fast pace and combo scheme of mkx felt fairly at home with mk1. i like to actually be able to hurt people and not have my combo finish at 26%. mk11 was very low damage. i also didn't like their meter system. i don't think meter should ever be placed on a time limit.
but mk11 did and most likely will continue to do better than mk1 because it's a completed game. everything that mk1 is missing, mk11 has. cosmetics, intros, lack of (crazy) microtransactions, etc.
unfortunately, mk11 and mk1 turned me into a tekken player and i won't be looking back.
@@ayrtonjoga everyone learns it at their own time. unfortunately for me, i'll never see that $100 i threw at injustice 2 back in the day.
Another thing I also want to bring up is that there are people who make mods make waaay better skins than Netherrealm. So yeah, the skins that Netherrealm announce are not worth it
Maximillion doesn't talk about Invasion because he just refuses to play it. The guy literally just plays multiplayer matches in everything. Because he's bouncing from game to game constantly he doesn't interact with the grind in like any game.
WB ruined Multiversus too.
If this is truly happening, good riddance
Zaslav is the type of guy to cancel a doctor's appointment because he is sick 😂
I dont think ive actually ever watched a video before where I agreed with every single word out their mouth. This video is perfect. I couldnt have said it any better
Except the 2:36 that was way too much like I get it you called him idiot in 9 different ways like we don't need another one especially one that goes way too close on the line between "I wasn't saying he unalived" and "we're gonna suppose if he unalives..."
Sweet Baby Inc made the game woke with gender and race swaps etc. Then WBs greedy greedy prices killed it fully
Worrying about gender and race swaps is crazy work woke lmao😂
Don't be dumb
Can we just agree that the game failed because its bad AND NOT BRING POLITICS INTO THE CONVERSATION, thank you
Who was race swapped??
@@mantraki💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻
I think what could save the franchise at this point is, if they make a Mortal Kombat 12 that follows exactly where Mortal Kombat 11 left off, and they pretend this sh*t show of MK1 never happened. And oh for the love of God, drop the whole multiverse piece of crap.
Naw they need to give MK a rest ant let people kind of forget this franchise for a few years, they be better of Making Injustice 3 but make it good to redeem themselves.
Honestly they should follow the story after mkx. No Kronika, no multiverse of madness and no revamps and genderbends. Just make a freakin casual friendy Mk9/mkx gameplay with no kameos. And make a Krypt 2.0. That would make the franchise alive.
@@ashuea2all they gotta do is copy n paste mkx/mk9 its the gameplay n bots love playing the same exact game for years nrs changes is what kills them not the lore
YES!! THAT is what they should've done from the goddamn get-go! This was supposed to be about Liu Kang training the Great Kung Lao and dropped it and gave us a stupid jade jaguar and the rest as a result!
Mk1 pretty much did all of that first part of your comment and we all know how that went
The problem with this game is WB games being too corporate and pushing live service into everything
Tag should be optional.
You thought this game was a tag game? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@waterdog737 NRS should’ve added Jukebox, Lobby, Krypt, team of 2 feature, and Krushing blows system before the launch
MK is so lame rn these days
Honestly, this game made me hate Mortal Kombat…which is saying something since I have been playing since Mk4. It was just so unfun. Everything was rushed and basically unfinished. Intros were shortened but “loading is instant” as if we cannot wait for 20 secs. Skins are fucking expensive and even LESS than MK11! Which did have crazy amounts of duplicates but it had more customization than the newer game. The only thing saving this game are the fucking mods lmao
WildGold took his full inner beast out
I was one of the people who brought the game day one on the switch and I definitely regretted it. It doesn’t really surprise me that they are pulling the plug on it. I am really sad that see a series that I really enjoy going through this all because higher ups don’t know their head from their behind
Serves them right for not allowing Gamers from Bulgaria and Russia to play it online.
Punishing Gamers because a Dictator in a Green T-Shirt is losing the War he started?
Thats dum!
Should focus on the single player experience. I don't feel like playing 8 hours a day to be marginally good enough to fight strangers online I'll never talk to as oppose to local friends and others I meet in person at conventions.
we need to wait for an indie spiritual successor to remember the old days of mortal kombat
Remember when Mortal Kombat used to stand for the side of gaming that's absolutely unapologetic for being itself (from violence to provocative outfits and so on)? Remember when it was the title that had the balls to push against mainstream narratives? I do. It's 100% a sign that a franchise is dying when the very core of its values are almost completely gone from the foundations. And that's just one side of what's crumbling with Mortal Kombat. Oh, and, lastly, Scorpion in MK1 will never be Scorpion in my eyes. Multiversal storytelling is pathetic, and it has to go away as soon as possible.
5:00 Maximillian_dood is the kind of dude who will see any fighting game news as true
the moment I know Sweet Baby Inc involved to the game. I know the game is done for
They weren't. Netherrealm been on that bs for years now. It was only a matter of time for this to happen.
MKD, MKA, MK9 and MKX are my favorite MK games
Mk Shaolin Monks Was also one of the Best Mk Games
@@hurricane7727 yes, but it's a side game
@@GrumpyCat97 Doesnt Matter. Its still one of the Best Mk Games!
Never played MK Trilogy? It's a good game imo.
MK Armageddon was so goated.
I'm glad I moved to SF 6
Green slime 6
So u like copy n paste games over and over?😂
@@zkupnext_9294 Yes. That's correct. I'd take copy-paste of Chun Li's thighs over Princess katana's any day.
And you actually get a match in SF 6.
@@zkupnext_9294copy n paste? Sf6 mechanics are not like sf5 or sf4 to be fair
@@courtjester710 I get matches in mk1 whenever I do play it 😂 and bruh im done
Your 100% spot on my man. And as a hardcore MK fan since the original MK on the Genesis, it pains me so much to see corporate penny pushers and big business greed ruin one of my favorite franchises in gaming.
Agree man, a lot of ppl done understand. I also was a fan since the Super Nintendo MKs was only 5 or so not even old enuff to play but still did and beat them! Sucks it came to do this and MK1 is trash , tried to like it and bypass the bs and naw!
I wouldn't take a single thing out of MaxShillian Dood's mouth seriously tbh. He's there to overract like: "WOAHHHH DUDE! THIS GAME IS SEW MUCH FUN!!" for his clueless audience, hype/shill a game for 2 weeks, and never play it again. Move onto next product he's paid to shill. Nothing noteworthy.
This is why YT wokeness must be deplatformed!
Max Dood is not a shill, he's publicly bashed Capcom games despite being paid by them
To be completely fair - Death of a character has never meant ANYTHING in MK.
Maybe they should’ve released it without all the season passes and dlc crap, among other things.
I watched Super's video on it, and certain people really do have tunnel vision. All he talked about were the mechanics of the game, and how theyve gotten better, but still need improvement or like sub zero needing tweaking. He spent more time complimenting the game rather than critically looking at what went wrong. The 10 people that still play MK1 are just gobsmacked as to why no one wants to play genderswapped Johnny Cage vs emasculated Homelander the videogame with 10 dollar skins.
3:45 You know what's hilarious. I don't care about any of this. Glitches and such in a "new" game are not shocking anymore. The hiring of Megan Fox and the redesign of Johnny Cage just made me stay clear of this game. I absolutely detest both!
Maximiliam has become a freaking joke in the last couple of years...
🤡🤡=Max
He has always being a hype clown, a fake one by the way.
He probably got paid to hype mk1.
He was always a scrub shill, his words don't mean anything.
As much as i dislike the hate MK1 has received since launch, the fact is that it's well deserved. Been a fan since the very first game and it's sad to see this kind of decline for the franchise. As soon as it was announced WB were buying NRS I had a knot in my stomach. Now I know why.
i never clicked so fast when u posted a new mk1 review
at about 2:26 i realized how kino this video was about to be
New sub from South Africa....You deserve it for the immense effort you put into your editing
People said we were haters for calling out that this would happen thanks to a combo of bad decisions from WB Games, from Suicidr Squad to Multiversus, those failures would hit MK1 head on.
A Mortal Kombat which nerfed and cucked Johnny Cage isn't my Mortal Kombat.
Netherrealms should be free and start a new IP... MK was good, restarted 3+ times already, WB won't give up the name rights. Yeah we will get MK 2 for sure but I don't have any hope.
I am Sindel main and I was forced to buy custom skin for her (which looked just less ugly) at the release because her standard skin was ugly as fuck. And all about her except her hair design is horribly disgusting. I was shocked how they could fuck her up after MK11. MK11 Sindel were a goddess looking and extremely fun gameplay
MK falls, SF rises
Nah! All those content creators are not dumb, they know exactly what is wrong with the game, they just avoid saying what everyone already knows so they do not lose whatever benefits they receive from WB. Just like those Disney shills that keep saying that Marvel and Star Wars is great nowadays.
All about the Benjamins, vanity and snobbishness is all I see.
The time of release it now and fix it later needs to stop. That is why I wait for the complete edition of titles at a drastically low price of twenty USD if it is a title that I am interested in.
WB wins! Fatality!
Dude true underdog seems like a creep to me 🤷♂️ idk just my opinion
This guy is even worse,slavic with broken english who pokes at Biden and economy is a perfect oxymoron,f...... unbelievable.
This is a truly inspiring rant. Pure awesome
Someone remind me.
I know about how they introduced an openly gay character in X, made the characters ugly on purpose in X, then made a Trump allegory in 11, but what other examples of Leftist activism existed in Mortal Kombat?
If gay existing is left wing activism I do not want to live on this planet anymore
Maximillian didnt say things so bad tbh but he misses the actual problem. But goddamn THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE UNDERDAWG WHO JUST SAYS THE SAME SHIT OVER AND OVER WHILE KISSING WB'S ASS cuz of course rhe bank account go up. But even some other mk based youtubers starts to talk shit about it, even tho they wouldn't go that hardcore on it. Yet that mofo always kisses their butts. But yeah tbh with Maximillian is frustrating that he is so blind and looks at the wall behind him while on the other side the world is burning and doesnt say shit, tho I still love Max but thats dumb what he does
He must be getting paid by someone
@slowmojo9355 as I said his bank acc must be go up because of that shit and I used to watch almost all of his vids
Bruh ofc hate people just trying to have some hope on the game he even says shit about MK1 that shit is wild people are so barbaric just cuz they aren't totally hopeless
@@lacc3170 Holy shit you really arr hopeless ...Ye not talking about the bullshitting he keeps saying and praising the game like everything its fine
So bro stfu cuz I used to defend that man snd used to love his content but since mk1 I slowly started to look doubtful at his videos until I could take it anymore
Mkx is 10x better than mk1 its not even close
So u want a copy n paste of mkx something like tekken and street fighter do?
@ all they had to do was keep the run mechanic and they could have changed everything else but to fair mk just takes assets from old games a reuse them so it’s nothing new
@@scrapcuz8370 they constantly try n make gameplay changes they need to stop after mk11 i would just copy and paste mkx every time they make a game they want new mechanics but you see people don’t appreciate it so just give em the same game lmao with barely any changes 😂
@ the mechanics after mkx was just terrible krushing blows was trash up block trash flawless block trash the best mechanic was the run button imo it just actually took some execution to implement into your gameplay so people didn’t like it
Mkx is garbage
Lol, nice video roasting the crappy mk youtubers.
I hope it included Uncaged, Underdawg and 4thsnake
Keep it up with you videos you deserve more subs and views because you videos are with and high quality and love
the actual problem is woke. this is what happens when you butcher your own games to pander to the modern agendas and Ieft marginal groups. Woke-tal Kombat 1 is a game run by woke companies, targeting the they/them community as their audience. An audience that never played the OG games, never been a fan of MK or games at all, and only entered the gaming after it has become a mainstream, and cares for nothing but the diversity included in games. like a wise man said, everything woke turns to shi... :)
Awesome video ,thus the beat video I seen all month ! Of November n keeping my fav of December, I knew those guys were off I unsuscribed to under dawg a year ago n never ever listened To max 😅
They have totally f*cked this game, this video is so on point with how i feel. Im so disappointed
Max has always only given his honest opinion when it’s safe to do so. He’ll shill for all the games until 6 months later when the people turn on it. Then he’ll release a “let’s talk about some of the problems with X game”. He’s been doing it for years.
Exactly and people act surprise when he makes a video like this, he's just playing it safe
Yup, remember he was one of the prime examples talking about how they wanted "loose broken fighting games" and got DNF duel, got on the hype train with that but now doesnt even bother playing it anymore after everyone hated on it
Your channel is so underrated it's crazy
The ninja is you serious thumbnail got me 😂
I would say injustice 3 but they will just wreak havoc on that brand to
Yeah, max is too chicken-shit and nerdy and will play it safe/dumb so the "mob" of the totalitarian left won't ruin his' brand. thanks for calling it for what it is and using that allegory of dogshit on a pizza pie. It's not the crust that's bad, it's the dog shit.
I hate how my beloved franchise is just now money fodder thanks to WB. I know boon is passionate but whoever helped make this game, is not.
Left??
@@lacc3170 they then act stupid, like the guy above me.

But I consider him a friend.
He right about everything, even the Maximilian shit (I like that guy btw).
When I played MK11 story mode and saw that D'Vorah, a character no one fucking liked, killed OUR Scorpion, for him to be replaced by his "younger" self, I knew plot wise this franchise was fucked.
Can we go back to the MKX times? Were the game was actually good, where we had a great amount of game modes and unlockables, where the story was actually fun and interesting, where we had good priced DLC characters and costumes that was actually worth paying for (costumes came in packs bundles btw, so u were getting like 4 costumes for the price of 2 nowadays)...
MK Hara Kiri'd itself
Mortal Kombat 1 in 2025: dead, it's over. No one's gonna even care about it!
Super Bomberman R-2 in 2025: still active (mostly Japanese players & try-hards, but more lively).
We made it to the Good Ending
This was a great presentation, your video made me realize how wb affected mortal Kombat 1 potential
good news. MK 1 is trash the MK series died a long time ago dude. Ed Boon killed the series. John Tobias is the heart and soul of the MK series. i hope WB sells the IP MK to another Video Game Company.
I love your passion! It feels nice to have someone care and sound like it - great video!
Yes, Mortal Kombat 1 is the worst Mortal Kombat Game of all times.
Sub Zero Mythologies is worse imo
Should of saved myself $120 usd when I bought MK1 for PS5…..paid an extra $25 dollars to get the game from my local GameStop a day early. This is pathetic on NRS part, low key infuriating.
All RUclips channels that want a good relationship with NRS focuses on nitpicks instead of addressing the big issues!
It's great to see people like Tom Brady, Dynasty and yourself calling out their bullshit!
Happy to say after getting burnt 🥵 with premium price on the initial game I helped make it die not buying the stupid DLC. And ur absolutely right I will not be buying the next MK until probably a year into its life cycle. I’m exhausted learning 💩 I can’t even enjoy. Been on MK 11 since the release of this mess of a game and will stay there. They will tumble pretty bad now that the market saw how they operate and with games like COD 6, Marvel Rivals for free 😂😂 and the bid daddy of them all GTA6 around the corner. GOOD LUCK 🤞 PEEPS at NRS & WB. Oh and on the RUclipsrs point you are absolutely right. The hype these idiots create over new characters only to turn around and say they are broken 😠 is so dumb. I blame most of them for this game because they always hype up garbage 🗑️ to gain favour with the studio or get tweeted out by Ed boon. This franchise is in trouble.
The story got f up, the characters look slow mentally, it costs about 120 with dlc and mk 1 is so eerie
MK lost it when they started every character that doesn't belong in their universe: Rambo, Homelander?, Omni Man and the villain from the Scream movie...
They couldn't be creative and make decent characters anymore, so they shove these "characters" for more money...
