37:59 I like that this is a double reference. First there's the obvious "Steven Spielberg directed Indiana Jones" reference, but also to reference the fact that Steven was going to cameo as Johnny's director in the first Mortal Kombat movie before schedule issues caused the crew to use a lookalike instead.
I was there towards the end of the stream, glad the VOD of the stream is here for me to munch on. This is a great story mode, as a fan of the MK franchise since it’s inception, I’m impressed with it.
Already watched this play through on an earlier channel but I enjoy seeing your take on games and it is a fun enough story to see twice. Thanks for the video!
A note about Raiden, his evil Thunder God persona is voiced by Travis Willingham (the default VA for Thor, Ace in Funi's One Piece dub, Mustang in Fullmetal Alchemist), who actually voiced Raiden in the mobile game.
This was really entertaining! I was confused at first, though, because I haven't played any of the games since MK4, so I was surprised to see Liu Kang and Raiden basically swap roles. Speaking of MK4, I get the impression that most people don't like it, but it was my favorite of the first four games. It was the only one I could actually play decently in the arcade, which is weird since I usually prefer 2D games over the 3D versions. 😆 Anyway, I always liked Reiko and Quan Chi in MK4, so I was glad to see them return here. Same goes for Tanya, who was one of the few characters who I could reliably do a fatality with. But my favorite thing to do in that game was to play as Reptile and turn invisible before doing his face-eating fatality. It made it look like the other person's face was just spontaneously falling apart. 😆
I usually don't have any interest in MK but this Story mode is great, it is just the right amount of goofy with some really neat characterizations. And whoever was responsible for Shang Tsung and his facial animations had waaayyy too much fun with that. The guy doesn't even need to talk to scream sleezeball and i love it.
During the Armageddon, you can select any character and you were face of different fighters of timeline and there’s a lot and there’s like a lot of characters. It’s kinda like creating your fighter in mortal kombat armageddon
The vod won't load, but RUclips is more than happy to load Ads without a single problem. Typical RUclips bs. Hope to watch this later! Update: It's working for me now! Hopefully it is for everyone else as well. Enjoy fellow Munchers! Update MK2: What a fun playthrough! Jared calling Mellina's case early, never actually losing a fight, and general banter was so fun well done my dude!
Another VOD to munch on casually as I'm dogsitting. Appreciate it, vestless Panther. Also a lot of under the weather going on, with the changing of seasons, that always gets me. I'm due my yearly flu jab, will be speaking to the docs about that in the next 2 weeks. Just be sure to keep hydrated bud, you'll get past it soon enough!
Yeah. I thought it was cause of watching so quick after upload but still. I'm pretty sure it's because it's a 5+ hour vid so it's still being converted.
@@KenTookerI thought the same, but I watched another long stream and no problems. Something was just wrong with the upload, but it seems to be much better now. Hopefully it is better now for y'all! (*edit: spelling)
Despite being the right age for it, I never got into Mortal Kombat. I tried it out for a few minutes but just didn't like it as much as I liked Street Fighter 2. So, a lot of the references in this were lost on me, but I do have to say that the production values were excellent here, and I loved how the fights seemed to flow directly out of the story scenes.
My Final Fight was, with, Baraka and Johnny Cage his name was Johnny Savage, then it was a mix of Frost and I forget who else. Overall great Final Chapter. Fighter combos are S tier
so...honest thoughts? everything was great, until the two timelines became many. Then (it seems) it was just a brain storm session, where they took every part they could think of. The stinger at the end is also not really exciting. Just a reason to keep on going with the old instead of trying to further the story. I was on board with it, until that part of the story.

Personally? I think you're being too harsh on Megan Fox's performance as Nitara. I'm not some die hard fan or nothing but, I she does well enough for voicing a henchman character. I think Netherrealm deliberately gave her Nitara, knowing she wouldn't have a real presence outside of a few scenes in the game's main story. That's what I believe, anyways. To each their own.
Her voice performance is literally the worst part of the entire game. Wether it was corporate mandate, bad voice direction or just her terrible performance in general, it is valid to criticize it and call it out.
The Bad Guys: "You know what? Lets just do all the plans all at once. That'll get 'em!"
I was not expecting to be as engaged with this as much as I was but I found myself sitting here and watching it through to the end in one sitting.
Man, this game rules. Mortal Kombat is one of those series that just makes me happy. The story is so fucking entertaining.

It's BY FAR better than Disney's Indiana Jones movie

Sat and watched the whole thing. Never knew the story mode in these games were so good.
Johnny Cage as a bootleg Indiana Jones made me smile way more than it had any right to.
I got to watch this whole stream front to back, and already had the story beaten! Good times!

You freaking out at the timing on deadly alliance is a highlight!

I actually failed the baraka door for the same reason, I love that it says rematch like, wanna fight the door again, jackass?
Catchin' up on what I couldn't finish during the stream.

You should record a stream of the board game mode. I'd watch the shit out of that. Also curious where my bois Cyrax and Sektor are.
Awesome bud 👊👊👊👊
That was fun, low energy or no. Justhaving some good gameplay and light comentary really added to enjoying the story mode. Thanks for that!

Ermac identifying as king Jerrod has been in previous Arcade endings (when you win as Jerrod, he takes control)

The fzero99 is doing that for me. Makes me think RUclips messes with twitch stuff.
Ya it won't load for me too
@@SusSpooder Yea, still the same rn for me too
@@KenTooker Is it? Dang I was gonna go to that one later too since I hadn't watched it yet. Damn you RUclips!
@@Keshin4539 it finally loaded 8 hours later >.>
Weird seeing Raiden as not the one who explains things.

And COVID is supposed to be picking up again so another bug to make you feel crappy.
I did not expect to get this invested.
That was tight as heck.
Anyone else stuck with 360p?

Better than the movies!
I know the switch port wont be as good but they is a massive part of me that wants to play this

John Kahner was funny though.
@@joluoto i absolutely do not deny that those characters were funny and random, but it didn't fit at all to the story before.
Good vid
I laughed too hard at John Kahner

Comment for the algorithm
Doesn't lose one fight, finally loses to a door, ha ha
Was there any fight Jerd lost or was it only tests of might?
@@Shooter-The-Emu-With-A-Gun spoilers, you'll have to watch and find out, it's an awesome story
Is it just me, or does Johnny Cage kinda look like ProJared? It can't just be me, right?
Yeah totally. He's like a less jacked ProJared.
ProJohnny?
Kotal gets less and less respect every game lol
