The two line intro dialogue is not as good as the three line ones. It’s a minor problem, and not a problem at all for people who don’t really care, but they just feel incomplete most of the time.
YES, YES AND YES. Feels like a step back. MK9 had a preset line, and MKX upgraded it to a full 3 lines dialogue that changes acording with characters. MK1 lines feels like MK9 again...
My overall problems for MK1 are as follows. (This is all out of tough love. But it really needs to be said.) ------ 1).Launching with a smaller roster simply so they can overcharge us for more DLC characters, characters that frankly should've been included from Day 1. For a 70$ game, that is disgusting. 2).Shang Tsung being a major character in Story Mode, yet for some moronic reason he has to be bought again separately for the second game in a row. Double Dipping for a character that's been there since MK(1992.) 3). Story Mode is basically pointless. The whole point of this "New Era" was to tell a more tightly connected continuity and start fresh....until *MULTIVERSE SHIT* happens, YET AGAIN, rendering everything to be utterly meaningless. What's even the point in getting attached to any of these new versions of characters if the next game is just gonna Thanos snap it all away anyways? It's getting old, and frankly it tells me the writters have zero fucking idea what they're doing. 4). Invasions Mode is a joke. For years, fans asked for a proper Konquest Mode, instead we got Towers of Time: the Board Game. Top it off with FOMO tactics ala Fortnite, where they force players to grind the entire season, or be forced to miss out on content forever is just scummy behavior. When Street Fighter 6 has a better open world single player mode than Mortal Kombat, you know somethings not right. 5). Always Online DRM for BASIC features that shouldn't need to be restricted behind internet in the first place. *(But NRS and WB don't really care about us offline players anymore, though they've lied right to our faces by saying they do.)* So Havik, 5 of the kameos and ALL COSTUMES simply cannot be unlocked if the game is disconnected. This is a trend in gaming I wish would just fucking stop. Bottom Line. Don't call it "offline modes" if you need to be *ONLINE* to even use it. That's false advertising. "Online Singleplayer" is more a accurate description. 5b). Speaking of, apperently on pc, *YOU CANT EVEN PLAY AS THE DLC YOU BOUGHT ONCE THE GAME DISCONNECTS* . How is this even okay? That's blatant robbery when WB can just revoke access to content *you paid for*, all because servers go into "Maintenance Mode." No other MK/Injustice game ever did this kind of shit. This really should be discussed more, as it's pretty concerning for MK1's overall longevity. I would think. 6). Kameos are a wasted idea and poorly thought out. But more importantly, they keep touting this game as being "Competitive" but yet from what I understand, Kameos actually break the game and cause alot of balancing issues amongst the roster. Which you cant even turn off for a proper 1v1. So which is it NRS? Is the game really "Competitive" or is it a Smash Bros case, where balance is of no real concern? you can't have it both ways! 7). The Switch Port... so MK1 couldn't be ported to XboxOne or PS4, but yet they could shellout a 70$ port that's both unfinished and poorly tested, that it actually makes MK Special Forces look like a top quality product by comparison? My condolences to any Switch players. Mk9 on Vita, Unchained on PSP, even MK11 on Switch had way more polish. 8). The voice acting. I dont know about you guys, but to me everyone in this game sounds like a fucking robot. People bagged all over Megan Fox's performance, but even someone like Johnny Cage who's supposed to be the life of the party, just sounds so bored and stiff through it all. All the characters do in story mode is list off exposition, like they're reading off a postage note, unlike in MK 9, X and 11 where the dialog actually felt a lot more natural when they spoke. Even with Omniman, I refuse to believe that was really JK Simmons from how stilted and emotionless he sounded. I wouldn't be surprised if it was done by an AI. 9). Player 2 Combo Bug. Patched or not, How does that even happen? You mean to tell me this game was in development for *FOUR* years, the 12th entry of a long running fighting franchise, and *nobody* spotted this bug before launch? FFS All you ever do in a fighting game is *fight player 2*, how did this even pass the QA team?? If they want us to shell out 70-110$+ on a game, at the very least playtest the fucking thing so it functions properly. Unreal... 10). Customizion for this game was.... just kinda there? I should've known it was a half baked feature when none of the advertisements really acknowledged it. Even by MK11's Customization, its just disappointing. Even worse, *PLAYER 2 CANT EVEN USE ANY OF IT*. What's the point of grinding for skins when only one person can even use it? *(And ofc it's the same player who can't use the combos...in MK1, player 2 just has to sit there and eat shit it seems. While Player 1 gets all the fun bells and whistles.)* 11). Overall lack of offline modes. No Tag Team Mode, no Test Your Luck, no Krypt to explore, but hey.. They brought Kombat Leauge back! The mode many players griped about being both grindy and toxic. So how did they fix it? It went from Ft2 to Ft3..... wow, talk about innovation! 12). The Shrine. Literally an EA-ified version of the Krypt. Removing all the fun from earning free coins to unlock fun extras, by requiring *REALWORLD MONEY* on stupid dragon crystals to get people overspending for such little value in return. They took a beloved mode/feature from past games and bastardized it to the most cynical degree. Sacrilege doesn't even begin to describe the betrayal I feel from this shameful excuse for a cashgrab. 12b). Store/GaaS prices are also pretty scummy as well. Omniman's voice announcer costing more than the character himself, 10-12$ for a single Fatality...? Frankly that entire "In-Game" Shop just needs to go, right into a fiery volcano Mishima Style, preferably. 13). Lui Kang’s Collector Edition Statue Skin... *sigh.* Y'know, they actually had a cool idea here. They could've had it where his skin was made out of ancient stone and rock, with cracks emanating his heavenly red/blue aura like Cetrion in MK11, but *NOPE* they went the lazy route and just removed his entire skin texture making him blank white. For one of the rarest/expensive skins in the game. We went from MKX's Gold Scorpion, to this shit... fricken Infrared Scorpion had more thought and effort put into it than that. C'mon. Now... I could go on and on, but its pretty saddening how they're treating this franchise atm. I dont know what happened inbetween MK11 and MK1 but something got lost in translation when trying to make a worthwhile product. If this is the direction they're planning to go with MK13, MK14, MK15 and so on, then I will just not support it. The foundation for it is flawed, all they can really do now is patch out the little things here and there, while also bloating the roster via DLC and Guest characters. Until they jump ship to the next game. TLDR: *Mortal Kombat deserved better than this.*
@@nicccck4420For the sake of my sanity, this is only the tip of the iceberg with the amount of issues the game suffers from, unfortunately. Only real positive I can give MK1 is we finally got some 3D era characters this time. Too bad the game itself is just a total mess.
100% agree as a lifelong MK fan myself you hit the nail on the head! The predatory actions alone are some of the most disgraceful ever seen. Full priced $70-$100 and you can easily double that just in having to pay for all the content locked behind pay walls. Fucking gross
Here more 2 complains 1 despite having 20 characters everyone plays the same way like they got fireball, anti air, and move to get close. 2 mk1 don't have a get away pressure button like seriously mk11, st6, ggstrive have easy way out for the player is combo to death to get out but somehow mk1 don't have
Its so odd seeing so many other fighting games in the genre flourishing with some of their best work while MK is struggling to stay fresh and engaging.
One thing I cannot understand is: we 're asking for a Konquest mode since MK9 and they just choose not to do. I had a hope that the krypt in MK11 was like a beta of a new Konquest or adventure mode but no. Invasions is like a mobile game, isn't fun at ALL. I really miss the days when they actually cared about offline content. Not even The Krypt we have now. Today is all about online, kompetitive, selling skins and DLC characters.
My man, Tekken 8 came out with Tekken Force and Customizations. What MK1 do? Make a boring board game that does nothing Fun and Gacha system for meaningless Extras lmao.
Konquest mode like we have on MK Deception is too much work in current gaming. Imagine, actually giving people a world to explore, lore and dialogues to see and find. That's nonsense
The big problem myself and others feel: we all just lost interest. Invasionas mode is needlessly grindy . Kombat League is too damn sweaty with an emphasis on top-tier characters. It lacks the features and quality of life bits that made MK11/ MKX so accessible. And yeah, the unlocks and microtransactions are....trash. It's a shame too because, I know there's an incredible game buried beneath a string of disappointments. The fighting mechanics are great, the kameo system is a fun addition, the art direction (both technical and visual) are incredible, and it has one of the best rosters in the franchise. I'm not giving up by any means, but I definitely think some drastic changes will be needed if they really want this to be relevant for several years.
We need more characters and kameos asap, most of the cast is plain and unseasoned, they feel like they’re missing moves and characters like Kung Lao and raiden are completely boring
My Main 10 Issues With Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) That Pushed Me Back To Mortal Kombat 11 (2019) 1. Getting Characters To Level 35 Or Kameos To Level 15 Is A Tedious Grind 2. Add More Offline Modes (Like Tag Mode From MK9) 3. There Is Less Character Slots To Customize (it when from 5 to 1?) 4. Switch Version Of This Game , Despite Being The Worst Version Is Still £60 5. Insavions Mode Is A Terrible Man's Krypt Mode 6. Story Modes Final Boss Is Way Too Easy 7. Prices Of Premium Skins Or Seasonal Fatalies Are Way Too Overpriced 8. Every Character's 2nd Fatality Are Locked Behind Level 14 In Mastery Meaning To Grind 9. No WiFi Filter/No Crossplay 10. The Story Feels Werid , Empty And Underwhelming
This game currently has THREE things going for it: gameplay, visuals, and soundtrack. Honorable mention to roster but I can’t really include it because many characters aren’t really themselves. Everything else sucks. EVERYTHING ELSE.
one of my biggest gripes is how some characters will have 5 different skins, and others will have only 2 or 3. Hell, Kameo and Dlc characters don’t have skins at all (except Sonya and Jax). Customization was one of the best parts of Mk11 and they pretty much took that away which was surprising to me.
Not mad, disappointed. Nah, I’m mad af! They did us dirty af and then micro transaction us to death! NOBODY is playing online, no Onaga, no stage fatalities, rehashed story, broken online, no Kyrpt, broken Cameos, marvel multiverse 💩, no cross play, I can go on for ages!
@@mezmerized4lifejay654Im not sure Onaga will be able to save this game, frankly. And I've wanted Onaga back since MKX. Such an underutilized villain. Knowing the new timeline bullshit, they'd probably just neuter his character like they did Shao Kahn. Oh sorry.... *"General Shao."* Even the new name they gave him makes me cringe....
@@blok--head7472 This game has so many problems it’s unreal! Changing the characters we know and love is risky af! Yeah, with the way it’s going I could see Onaga being neutered and weak. The rehashed story is the worst part for me, it just pisses me off. Laziest writing ever
@@mezmerized4lifejay654The most baffling part of it all was *nobody* was even asking for another reboot in the first place, and yet they still botched it. The only reason we're in this new timeline BS is because of MK11 and their stupid time travel garbage, which they themselves at NRS wrote. I've seen literal fanfiction that was better written and planned out than that.
I know this is a minor complaint and isn't even an issue but the fatalities and fatal blows feel really forgettable in this game or they don't fit the character
General Shao's "Jumping Cartwheel" Fatality is literally up there with Quan Chis neck stretch from Deadly Alliance from how stupid it looks. Probably one of the lamest fatalites I have ever seen in the modern era.
The monetization is the least of my worries. The gameplay is number one that needs fixed. This is mk11 with half baked assist. The summon kameos look so stupid the game moves very slow the characters all lack tools. Each character should have at least 7 individual special moves. The kameos main focus for anyone trying to win is to either stay plus on block or loop unblockable set ups. That’s trash
Out of the big three Mortal Kombat is lacking pretty bad compared to Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8. It feels rushed and seems like it was supposed to be Injustice 3. This was foreshadowed when we didn’t hear anything about this game until a few months til it was released. Hopefully Netherrealm Studios will be able bounce back.
My main issues with the game is how slow the characters level up in order to get the stuff for them its annoying and not a good replacement for the krypt there's only amount of times that I can do endless and survival towers. And invasion ugh some of it is impossible to complete. And the coins are small amount to the point that you can barely get one and no I'm not going to spend money aside from the dlc character not the money for coins
Sadly, the way WB is treating MK is not a surprise, they are just doing the minimum effort in order to make profit over the brand, you can clearly see by the fact that they don't even try to provide new experiences or games like a Shaolin Monks remake or 3D MK games ports with online servers, nope, instead of that, they just keep cash grabbing shit like that mobile games
Stop charging insane money for “blue skins” or fatality. The progression is so grindy. They should have had a Konquest mode for the DLC portion to keep players engaged. Online still has connectivity issues.
I agree! Also, nice Angry Joe reference with “blue”. It’s starting to get absurd now. I remember when people were upset with the number of day one DLC for MKX, look how far we’ve come.
I slowly realize that kameos arent great at all. The story sucks. Tbh the only thing I like in MK1 is that they bring back 3D characters. People are asking for konquest mode for years then they gave us this monotonous invasions
The main problem is the NRS Kommunity being toxic shillers and supporting MK1's flaws. Personally, I feel MK1 should just go out like the failed FF game or Majora's Mask on Termina. I doubt WB or NRS would ever listen to the fans, just the blind shillers cuz that's how corporations run, and I certainly don't want another staple in the series to follow Dominic's New Era anymore as it's a failed experiment, he's a pathetic writer too! The plot was atrocious, most of the Kombatants were mundane, not to mention it abuses AI, money and likeness! MK1 overall is just an irredeemable trainwreck like Sonic 06, and I hope the DLC plot won't come to be... We should've gotten the MK12 we all wanted not a rebooted rushjob.
MK1 really feels like the Marvel Infinite of Mortal Kombat. Both in its half-assed execution and from the blatant on disc DLC. It's just an insult to true longtime fans imo. Although, I don't ever remember MVCI ever changing 10-12$ just for a one single finishing move.
MK1: - Shit ending of story mode, literally makes 0 sense - Ugly skins, collor pallets and skins that don't match the characters most of the time - I personally don't like the kameo system - Invasions fights are SO modified that it's kinda crazy. Instead of fighting you try to evade birds, fireballs and other crap - No crypt, instead of this that shit ass shrine - Fatal Blows are clunky because of the split into - first kameo and then our character. It also makes them even more repetitive - Many fatalities are just really short duration-wise, there are many bangers but many of them are just disappointing after MK11 with the best fatalities ever - Game was really expensive, extremely, in Poland it was a small fortune - Shit monetization And I still had a great time with this game, it's shit tho
On top of all the predatory microtransactions BS and invasions just being a slog to play, my biggest issue with MK1 is that NRS wanted to make a vs style fighter (something more akin to MvC or DBZF) without fully committing to the craziness those types of fighting games have. NRS keeps wanting to tone down the abilities that both main roster fighters and kameos can perform while still having some characters that don't even need a kameo to be good like Johnny Cage and Raiden while characters like Scorpion and Sub-Zero struggle to be efficient even while using a kameo. Overall I think they need to rework how kombat works in this game, it should be a game where every character is good based on their own merits and abilities while kameos add additional layers to kombat not the other way around.
Hi Nick, I really like hearing about your views and how you are feeling about certain aspects of the game. Please keep it up, you are doing a fantastic job. So funny thing is that I see in my RUclips feed so many videos talking about the death of Mortal Kombat 1. I am not your typical player, so I don't play online and I am no pro player or anything like that. I wouldn't call myself a casual player either because I have been dedicated to the Mortal Kombat since the first game came out. So I play mostly local Vs CPU and practice with a bit of invasions thrown in. Not really a fan of invasions but I play it to try to level up my characters mastery. I think Invasions does need more variety but here is an incentive to make people play it more, add Dragon crystals as a reward. Any way I am getting off the point a bit here. I have been able to play every single mode of the game because the developers considered those who are blind or vision impaired. So take that game Street Fighter 6, which I do like by the way, and it's World tore mode. I can't play that mode at all. In Mortal Kombat 1 I have completed the story mode and played a fair bit of the invasions mode. NRS have done an amazing job with accessibility and for that I applaud them. Do I think the game is perfect? Of course it is not. There are changes I would like to see implemented in the game. Number1 is certainly the monetisation of the game. It is inexcusable but remember other games are doing it as well. Street fighter 6 is pretty dear too in this aspect, it seems like sometimes people forget that. Though this is more my wish than any fault in the game but I would love another way to get all the brutalities. For me it's a struggle and I love performing them. Finally I think they need to communicate better. The Twitter feed rarely gets any posts these days and it's a shame. I am sorry for this long message but I do feel passionet about the game and am having so much fun with it. I personally do not think it is dying, but I do think it needs some love.
It's sad that Mortal Kombat fumbled the casual side of things, that was it's main advantage against it's competitors. Invasions mode was a fun gimmick for a few hours, but it get's old really fast.
I’d rather play Street Fighter or Tekken. The Kombat that MK11 or MK1 is not fun it’s slow and not fun to watch. I want fast gameplay like MK9 or MKX. Mortal Kombat Deception is a better game than MK1.
I just want an exchange system for the coins. I have 400k gold coins and nothing to spend them on. If you could convert all 4 currencies from one to another, it would improve it vastly.
@@ironspideybraxton MK9 is better for the chaos and rondomness. There are variables in frames on certain moves that make them have different frames sometimes. Kratos is really fun in MK9 too. The quick time events on some of his moves were a nice touch
Yeah it sure is by comparing the player counts on steam! Mortal Kombat 1: 1,793 In-Game Takken 8: 35,815 In-Game Street Fighter 6: 13,606 In-Game Like damn it is sad to see Mortal Kombat 1 dying they could have at least delay this game but at least it is still fun but damn the loading time in this game just sucks and I can't even play the story mode since I'm basically stuck in the loading screen.... -_-
I wouldn’t go fully off Steam numbers as MK1 and other MK games were more popular on console. We don’t fully know the numbers on other platforms, but on the Steam end, it’s not good.
Ed boon is pulling street fighter v this game is not gonna be good even the damn dlc list is huge disappointment people want mk characters not second rate comic movie characters. We could have got ketchup mustard Serena Jax Kano Sonya back hell bring back Kai raicho Mavado
I know this is about concerns for the game, but this particular cluster in the community seems really chill and i want to take this opportunity to maybe talk about what characters we’d like in the next set of DLC characters. (Assuming the game doesnt die before it comes) Perhaps we can convince (or bully, if Mileena in MK11 is anything to go on) devs to perhaps consider some of these. Personally, despite knowing very little about the 3D era of this series, i think Hotaru would be an interesting addition. I’d want to see what they do with him now and the story is set up nicely with what Havik had done to Seido. Plus, there’s also the possibility all you guys may see ash williams in the game since he missed out previously lol
when the game come out, i was saying this game is terrible, story is weak, char designs/customs/customizations etc are awful, game is lacking content and modes etc. MK1 fan bois were attacking me personally and defending this trash. and oh look what happened now hahaha :D those people have no backbone anyway, they just go with the public opinion :)
As someone who’s only recently started playing MK1 (literally just got it with a used Xbox Series X maybe a month ago) I gotta say I really like what we’ve got so far with the story and gameplay. The grinding and random unlocks with the shrine along with the micro transactions? We’d be better off without them.
I love Mortal Kombat 1 don’t get me wrong I’m having a lot of fun with the game but I’m still having some issues with the game 1.) lack of content game modes/ and features 2.) XP not being enough to unlock character/Kameo Masteries 3.) lack of communication between NRS and the community 4.) increasing movement/ speed of Kameo recharge 5.) add more customizable slots so we can have a few unique sets instead of just one set outfit 6.) change the monetization within the game we shouldn’t be spending $10 - $15 dollars for skins or fatalities it makes no since if we have to spend $10 - $15 dollars make it a bundle of skins 7.) rework and change invasion add more to it interesting modifications and interesting matches also add Fast travel and a map to get around easily, without losing track of the locations you’ve already visited
My game doesn't even work. After the patch of 24/10/2023, i can't access the game. İ can never get past into main menus. They haven't fixed it and i haven't been able to play for about 4 months. At least you are able to play the game.
One of the few videos that understands the issues and not just some dumb scrub who just jumps to hate on the game cause they've gotten the chance...like damn dude some of the hate I've seen for this game opened my eyes to how much of a stupid casual filled player base mk has and how much of a bitter elitist community Tekken community is lol...still pretty positive about sf community
I personally like MK1 more than MK10 and 11, it has great gameplay, good skins, great story (as compared to previous parts) but the commercialization of this game made it unplayable i guess
I mean there’s several arguments you can make as to why MK1 is becoming the Avatar of Video games currently. 1. Rushed 2. A reboot YET Again 3. IMO Gameplay is not A tier, MK9 & MKX are the A games in gameplay. MK1 LOOKS Nice, the end. 4. Lack of content 5. MICROTRANSACTIONS & ridiculous pricing from some Holiday Fatalities & “custom parts” just being a glorified palette swap 6. Switch Port Fiasco 7. The VASTLY Superior SF6 beating MK in the game awards 8. Tekken 8’s release and (hopefully) future Soul Calibur coming in 2025 9. Lack of extras (Invasion is tedious)
Its cuz the game is wack i havent played it but its just not MK vibes...the reboot idea was bad in my opinion..Its not gritty and dark..Trying to promote a game with cash grab characters outside the universe shows wackness...this aint Mortal kombat
Should have a released a PS4 version if they were looking for more players. I know so many people that passed on the PS5 because it took too long to become mainstream available to the point now it's like just wait for the next one... then there's the price. For me - I'm still enjoying my PS4 and have a ton of affordable games left to beat (and buy). As for the PS5 and its games the hobby has gone past the amount of money I'm willing to spend on it. Plain and simple. I'm still a gamer at 39, but I ain't paying these whack prices.
As someone who got this early access I am disappointed with the updates so far I do like quan chi but the content just feels lack luster 😅invasions is boring grind just for outfits
I was way more excited for invasions than anything else and i cant even be bothered to play those anymore. It just feels horrible compared to MKX or even MK11. i dont like seeing the same kameo show up almost constantly either. Variations are one thing, but kameos are basically the entire roster sharing variations! Its lazy and boring!
Yeah and good thing its dying. i was a fan since 3D era days and I quited the franchise after MKX (the last good MK). the last 2 games arent even good, not only they turned it woke, they also ruined story, character designs, costumes/customization and game modes. so yeah it could be gone for good I couldnt care less :)
Maybe we should have seen this coming, and it’s just a case of history repeating itself. The 4th mainline story game from Midway was MK4, often referred to as the worst game in the “Midway Era.” MK1 being the 4th mainline MK game by NRS, and currently trending toward one of the most disliked games of the “NRS Era.” Also, each game features a new gameplay mechanic that left players underwhelmed, MK 4 introduced 3D and MK1 introduced a lackluster cameo system. Both seem to be at the forefront of complaints among players. Honestly, MK1 seems like the epitome of a game trying rest on its past laurels and pass that off as success, or for that matter, acceptable
Hell, If you really wanna add onto that list, MKvsDC is technically considered as MK8...and that game too got a lot of flak when it launched, while also introducing new mechanics that didn't really do alot to impress. *(The Rage System/Falling Kombat/Close Kombat/ etc.. )* Eerie how history tends to repeat itself....
The game is done I'm not saying this because I hate the series I'm die hard fgc player plays everything mortal Kombat Tekken street fighter guilty gear BlazBlue are my favorite fighting game series including Capcom Vs snk 2 marvel vs Capcom 1-3. If I was Ed boon I would scrape this game make another version removed kameos tight up gameplay add chess kart bowling easy way to get skins add everyone klassic skins from every generation. Bring back Sonya Jax Serena ketchup mustard Kano back to the roster. Add klassic stages juke box mode.
Asking for MK1 without kameo is same as asking MKX/MK11 without variants and I think first trilogy showed Ed with team don’t have intention of returning any modes from 3D era, lol
The two line intro dialogue is not as good as the three line ones. It’s a minor problem, and not a problem at all for people who don’t really care, but they just feel incomplete most of the time.
YES, YES AND YES. Feels like a step back. MK9 had a preset line, and MKX upgraded it to a full 3 lines dialogue that changes acording with characters. MK1 lines feels like MK9 again...
It also feels like some of them are missing the punchline that could be there for the three lines.
100% agree
@@fabiosiqueiraduball the Guest characters in X have NO LINES lol at least the Guests here will have interesting dialogue
I agree. The intro dialogues were always fun to hear but only 2 lines just isn’t enough.
My overall problems for MK1 are as follows. (This is all out of tough love. But it really needs to be said.)
------
1).Launching with a smaller roster simply so they can overcharge us for more DLC characters, characters that frankly should've been included from Day 1. For a 70$ game, that is disgusting.
2).Shang Tsung being a major character in Story Mode, yet for some moronic reason he has to be bought again separately for the second game in a row. Double Dipping for a character that's been there since MK(1992.)
3). Story Mode is basically pointless. The whole point of this "New Era" was to tell a more tightly connected continuity and start fresh....until *MULTIVERSE SHIT* happens, YET AGAIN, rendering everything to be utterly meaningless. What's even the point in getting attached to any of these new versions of characters if the next game is just gonna Thanos snap it all away anyways? It's getting old, and frankly it tells me the writters have zero fucking idea what they're doing.
4). Invasions Mode is a joke. For years, fans asked for a proper Konquest Mode, instead we got Towers of Time: the Board Game. Top it off with FOMO tactics ala Fortnite, where they force players to grind the entire season, or be forced to miss out on content forever is just scummy behavior. When Street Fighter 6 has a better open world single player mode than Mortal Kombat, you know somethings not right.
5). Always Online DRM for BASIC features that shouldn't need to be restricted behind internet in the first place. *(But NRS and WB don't really care about us offline players anymore, though they've lied right to our faces by saying they do.)*
So Havik, 5 of the kameos and ALL COSTUMES simply cannot be unlocked if the game is disconnected. This is a trend in gaming I wish would just fucking stop. Bottom Line.
Don't call it "offline modes" if you need to be *ONLINE* to even use it. That's false advertising. "Online Singleplayer" is more a accurate description.
5b). Speaking of, apperently on pc, *YOU CANT EVEN PLAY AS THE DLC YOU BOUGHT ONCE THE GAME DISCONNECTS* . How is this even okay? That's blatant robbery when WB can just revoke access to content *you paid for*, all because servers go into "Maintenance Mode." No other MK/Injustice game ever did this kind of shit. This really should be discussed more, as it's pretty concerning for MK1's overall longevity. I would think.
6). Kameos are a wasted idea and poorly thought out. But more importantly, they keep touting this game as being "Competitive" but yet from what I understand, Kameos actually break the game and cause alot of balancing issues amongst the roster. Which you cant even turn off for a proper 1v1. So which is it NRS? Is the game really "Competitive" or is it a Smash Bros case, where balance is of no real concern? you can't have it both ways!
7). The Switch Port... so MK1 couldn't be ported to XboxOne or PS4, but yet they could shellout a 70$ port that's both unfinished and poorly tested, that it actually makes MK Special Forces look like a top quality product by comparison? My condolences to any Switch players.
Mk9 on Vita, Unchained on PSP, even MK11 on Switch had way more polish.
8). The voice acting. I dont know about you guys, but to me everyone in this game sounds like a fucking robot. People bagged all over Megan Fox's performance, but even someone like Johnny Cage who's supposed to be the life of the party, just sounds so bored and stiff through it all. All the characters do in story mode is list off exposition, like they're reading off a postage note, unlike in MK 9, X and 11 where the dialog actually felt a lot more natural when they spoke.
Even with Omniman, I refuse to believe that was really JK Simmons from how stilted and emotionless he sounded. I wouldn't be surprised if it was done by an AI.
9). Player 2 Combo Bug. Patched or not, How does that even happen? You mean to tell me this game was in development for *FOUR* years, the 12th entry of a long running fighting franchise, and *nobody* spotted this bug before launch? FFS All you ever do in a fighting game is *fight player 2*, how did this even pass the QA team?? If they want us to shell out 70-110$+ on a game, at the very least playtest the fucking thing so it functions properly. Unreal...
10). Customizion for this game was.... just kinda there? I should've known it was a half baked feature when none of the advertisements really acknowledged it. Even by MK11's Customization, its just disappointing. Even worse, *PLAYER 2 CANT EVEN USE ANY OF IT*. What's the point of grinding for skins when only one person can even use it? *(And ofc it's the same player who can't use the combos...in MK1, player 2 just has to sit there and eat shit it seems. While Player 1 gets all the fun bells and whistles.)*
11). Overall lack of offline modes. No Tag Team Mode, no Test Your Luck, no Krypt to explore, but hey.. They brought Kombat Leauge back! The mode many players griped about being both grindy and toxic. So how did they fix it? It went from Ft2 to Ft3..... wow, talk about innovation!
12). The Shrine. Literally an EA-ified version of the Krypt. Removing all the fun from earning free coins to unlock fun extras, by requiring *REALWORLD MONEY* on stupid dragon crystals to get people overspending for such little value in return. They took a beloved mode/feature from past games and bastardized it to the most cynical degree. Sacrilege doesn't even begin to describe the betrayal I feel from this shameful excuse for a cashgrab.
12b). Store/GaaS prices are also pretty scummy as well. Omniman's voice announcer costing more than the character himself, 10-12$ for a single Fatality...? Frankly that entire "In-Game" Shop just needs to go, right into a fiery volcano Mishima Style, preferably.
13). Lui Kang’s Collector Edition Statue Skin... *sigh.* Y'know, they actually had a cool idea here. They could've had it where his skin was made out of ancient stone and rock, with cracks emanating his heavenly red/blue aura like Cetrion in MK11, but *NOPE* they went the lazy route and just removed his entire skin texture making him blank white. For one of the rarest/expensive skins in the game. We went from MKX's Gold Scorpion, to this shit... fricken Infrared Scorpion had more thought and effort put into it than that. C'mon. Now...
I could go on and on, but its pretty saddening how they're treating this franchise atm. I dont know what happened inbetween MK11 and MK1 but something got lost in translation when trying to make a worthwhile product. If this is the direction they're planning to go with MK13, MK14, MK15 and so on, then I will just not support it.
The foundation for it is flawed, all they can really do now is patch out the little things here and there, while also bloating the roster via DLC and Guest characters. Until they jump ship to the next game.
TLDR: *Mortal Kombat deserved better than this.*
I love ur comment is so well put and hits every issue addressing the game
@@nicccck4420For the sake of my sanity, this is only the tip of the iceberg with the amount of issues the game suffers from, unfortunately.
Only real positive I can give MK1 is we finally got some 3D era characters this time. Too bad the game itself is just a total mess.
Nrs/wb needs to see this comment assp
100% agree as a lifelong MK fan myself you hit the nail on the head! The predatory actions alone are some of the most disgraceful ever seen. Full priced $70-$100 and you can easily double that just in having to pay for all the content locked behind pay walls. Fucking gross
Here more 2 complains
1 despite having 20 characters everyone plays the same way like they got fireball, anti air, and move to get close.
2 mk1 don't have a get away pressure button like seriously mk11, st6, ggstrive have easy way out for the player is combo to death to get out but somehow mk1 don't have
Its so odd seeing so many other fighting games in the genre flourishing with some of their best work while MK is struggling to stay fresh and engaging.
Tell me about it. It’s pretty sad.
I feel theyll add more too it its just taking too long
@@DonYoGi8331 oh, 100%
@@Meta_Break I feel the Aftermath/story expansion version will have everything we want. Or we'll atlest be satisfied.
Very sad they pulling street fighter v you know how long it took Capcom to fix that damn game 🤦 people left
One thing I cannot understand is: we 're asking for a Konquest mode since MK9 and they just choose not to do. I had a hope that the krypt in MK11 was like a beta of a new Konquest or adventure mode but no. Invasions is like a mobile game, isn't fun at ALL. I really miss the days when they actually cared about offline content. Not even The Krypt we have now. Today is all about online, kompetitive, selling skins and DLC characters.
and they said "we have a new mode, better than konquest mode" in a kombat kast!!
I'm waiting for this mode since the day that the game came out.
My man, Tekken 8 came out with Tekken Force and Customizations. What MK1 do? Make a boring board game that does nothing Fun and Gacha system for meaningless Extras lmao.
Konquest mode like we have on MK Deception is too much work in current gaming. Imagine, actually giving people a world to explore, lore and dialogues to see and find. That's nonsense
The big problem myself and others feel: we all just lost interest. Invasionas mode is needlessly grindy . Kombat League is too damn sweaty with an emphasis on top-tier characters. It lacks the features and quality of life bits that made MK11/ MKX so accessible. And yeah, the unlocks and microtransactions are....trash.
It's a shame too because, I know there's an incredible game buried beneath a string of disappointments. The fighting mechanics are great, the kameo system is a fun addition, the art direction (both technical and visual) are incredible, and it has one of the best rosters in the franchise. I'm not giving up by any means, but I definitely think some drastic changes will be needed if they really want this to be relevant for several years.
We need more characters and kameos asap, most of the cast is plain and unseasoned, they feel like they’re missing moves and characters like Kung Lao and raiden are completely boring
My Main 10 Issues With Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) That Pushed Me Back To Mortal Kombat 11 (2019)
1. Getting Characters To Level 35 Or Kameos To Level 15 Is A Tedious Grind
2. Add More Offline Modes (Like Tag Mode From MK9)
3. There Is Less Character Slots To Customize (it when from 5 to 1?)
4. Switch Version Of This Game , Despite Being The Worst Version Is Still £60
5. Insavions Mode Is A Terrible Man's Krypt Mode
6. Story Modes Final Boss Is Way Too Easy
7. Prices Of Premium Skins Or Seasonal Fatalies Are Way Too Overpriced
8. Every Character's 2nd Fatality Are Locked Behind Level 14 In Mastery Meaning To Grind
9. No WiFi Filter/No Crossplay
10. The Story Feels Werid , Empty And Underwhelming
Tag team!!!!!🙌🏻
This game currently has THREE things going for it: gameplay, visuals, and soundtrack. Honorable mention to roster but I can’t really include it because many characters aren’t really themselves. Everything else sucks. EVERYTHING ELSE.
I love the gameplay and the music is really good in this game. Invasions is so bad I can't play it.
We seriously need a blood color setting or something
one of my biggest gripes is how some characters will have 5 different skins, and others will have only 2 or 3. Hell, Kameo and Dlc characters don’t have skins at all (except Sonya and Jax). Customization was one of the best parts of Mk11 and they pretty much took that away which was surprising to me.
Not mad, disappointed. Nah, I’m mad af! They did us dirty af and then micro transaction us to death! NOBODY is playing online, no Onaga, no stage fatalities, rehashed story, broken online, no Kyrpt, broken Cameos, marvel multiverse 💩, no cross play, I can go on for ages!
“No Onaga” is not a sound argument.
@@ntiadivine5643 It is for me 😂 EVERYONE thought we were getting Onaga! Of course I’m disappointed we got a rehashed marvel multiverse story, cringe!
@@mezmerized4lifejay654Im not sure Onaga will be able to save this game, frankly. And I've wanted Onaga back since MKX. Such an underutilized villain.
Knowing the new timeline bullshit, they'd probably just neuter his character like they did Shao Kahn. Oh sorry.... *"General Shao."*
Even the new name they gave him makes me cringe....
@@blok--head7472 This game has so many problems it’s unreal! Changing the characters we know and love is risky af! Yeah, with the way it’s going I could see Onaga being neutered and weak. The rehashed story is the worst part for me, it just pisses me off. Laziest writing ever
@@mezmerized4lifejay654The most baffling part of it all was *nobody* was even asking for another reboot in the first place, and yet they still botched it.
The only reason we're in this new timeline BS is because of MK11 and their stupid time travel garbage, which they themselves at NRS wrote. I've seen literal fanfiction that was better written and planned out than that.
I know this is a minor complaint and isn't even an issue but the fatalities and fatal blows feel really forgettable in this game or they don't fit the character
General Shao's "Jumping Cartwheel" Fatality is literally up there with Quan Chis neck stretch from Deadly Alliance from how stupid it looks.
Probably one of the lamest fatalites I have ever seen in the modern era.
this game looks so lazy.
The monetization is the least of my worries. The gameplay is number one that needs fixed. This is mk11 with half baked assist. The summon kameos look so stupid the game moves very slow the characters all lack tools. Each character should have at least 7 individual special moves. The kameos main focus for anyone trying to win is to either stay plus on block or loop unblockable set ups. That’s trash
Out of the big three Mortal Kombat is lacking pretty bad compared to Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8. It feels rushed and seems like it was supposed to be Injustice 3. This was foreshadowed when we didn’t hear anything about this game until a few months til it was released. Hopefully Netherrealm Studios will be able bounce back.
My main issues with the game is how slow the characters level up in order to get the stuff for them its annoying and not a good replacement for the krypt there's only amount of times that I can do endless and survival towers. And invasion ugh some of it is impossible to complete. And the coins are small amount to the point that you can barely get one and no I'm not going to spend money aside from the dlc character not the money for coins
The timeline bs ruined the series. I won’t play MK2 if they make it. I’ll be happy with the older ones. MKXL is far superior to this.
Sadly, the way WB is treating MK is not a surprise, they are just doing the minimum effort in order to make profit over the brand, you can clearly see by the fact that they don't even try to provide new experiences or games like a Shaolin Monks remake or 3D MK games ports with online servers, nope, instead of that, they just keep cash grabbing shit like that mobile games
Stop charging insane money for “blue skins” or fatality. The progression is so grindy. They should have had a Konquest mode for the DLC portion to keep players engaged.
Online still has connectivity issues.
I agree! Also, nice Angry Joe reference with “blue”. It’s starting to get absurd now. I remember when people were upset with the number of day one DLC for MKX, look how far we’ve come.
I love the gameplay in this game, so I really hope they can get most of these problems figured out!
Same it the most fun I've had in a mk game
I slowly realize that kameos arent great at all. The story sucks. Tbh the only thing I like in MK1 is that they bring back 3D characters.
People are asking for konquest mode for years then they gave us this monotonous invasions
The main problem is the NRS Kommunity being toxic shillers and supporting MK1's flaws. Personally, I feel MK1 should just go out like the failed FF game or Majora's Mask on Termina. I doubt WB or NRS would ever listen to the fans, just the blind shillers cuz that's how corporations run, and I certainly don't want another staple in the series to follow Dominic's New Era anymore as it's a failed experiment, he's a pathetic writer too! The plot was atrocious, most of the Kombatants were mundane, not to mention it abuses AI, money and likeness!
MK1 overall is just an irredeemable trainwreck like Sonic 06, and I hope the DLC plot won't come to be... We should've gotten the MK12 we all wanted not a rebooted rushjob.
MK1 really feels like the Marvel Infinite of Mortal Kombat. Both in its half-assed execution and from the blatant on disc DLC. It's just an insult to true longtime fans imo.
Although, I don't ever remember MVCI ever changing 10-12$ just for a one single finishing move.
They was trying to replace mortal Kombat to super hero version of DC with just fatalities since DC don't allow that with their characters
Who tf asked for cameos smh
MK1:
- Shit ending of story mode, literally makes 0 sense
- Ugly skins, collor pallets and skins that don't match the characters most of the time
- I personally don't like the kameo system
- Invasions fights are SO modified that it's kinda crazy. Instead of fighting you try to evade birds, fireballs and other crap
- No crypt, instead of this that shit ass shrine
- Fatal Blows are clunky because of the split into - first kameo and then our character. It also makes them even more repetitive
- Many fatalities are just really short duration-wise, there are many bangers but many of them are just disappointing after MK11 with the best fatalities ever
- Game was really expensive, extremely, in Poland it was a small fortune
- Shit monetization
And I still had a great time with this game, it's shit tho
I was waiting for this video discussion!!! Tell it like it is, Nik!!!
On top of all the predatory microtransactions BS and invasions just being a slog to play, my biggest issue with MK1 is that NRS wanted to make a vs style fighter (something more akin to MvC or DBZF) without fully committing to the craziness those types of fighting games have. NRS keeps wanting to tone down the abilities that both main roster fighters and kameos can perform while still having some characters that don't even need a kameo to be good like Johnny Cage and Raiden while characters like Scorpion and Sub-Zero struggle to be efficient even while using a kameo. Overall I think they need to rework how kombat works in this game, it should be a game where every character is good based on their own merits and abilities while kameos add additional layers to kombat not the other way around.
Hi Nick,
I really like hearing about your views and how you are feeling about certain aspects of the game. Please keep it up, you are doing a fantastic job.
So funny thing is that I see in my RUclips feed so many videos talking about the death of Mortal Kombat 1. I am not your typical player, so I don't play online and I am no pro player or anything like that. I wouldn't call myself a casual player either because I have been dedicated to the Mortal Kombat since the first game came out. So I play mostly local Vs CPU and practice with a bit of invasions thrown in. Not really a fan of invasions but I play it to try to level up my characters mastery. I think Invasions does need more variety but here is an incentive to make people play it more, add Dragon crystals as a reward.
Any way I am getting off the point a bit here. I have been able to play every single mode of the game because the developers considered those who are blind or vision impaired. So take that game Street Fighter 6, which I do like by the way, and it's World tore mode. I can't play that mode at all. In Mortal Kombat 1 I have completed the story mode and played a fair bit of the invasions mode. NRS have done an amazing job with accessibility and for that I applaud them.
Do I think the game is perfect? Of course it is not. There are changes I would like to see implemented in the game. Number1 is certainly the monetisation of the game. It is inexcusable but remember other games are doing it as well. Street fighter 6 is pretty dear too in this aspect, it seems like sometimes people forget that.
Though this is more my wish than any fault in the game but I would love another way to get all the brutalities. For me it's a struggle and I love performing them.
Finally I think they need to communicate better. The Twitter feed rarely gets any posts these days and it's a shame.
I am sorry for this long message but I do feel passionet about the game and am having so much fun with it. I personally do not think it is dying, but I do think it needs some love.
It's sad that Mortal Kombat fumbled the casual side of things, that was it's main advantage against it's competitors. Invasions mode was a fun gimmick for a few hours, but it get's old really fast.
I’d rather play Street Fighter or Tekken. The Kombat that MK11 or MK1 is not fun it’s slow and not fun to watch. I want fast gameplay like MK9 or MKX. Mortal Kombat Deception is a better game than MK1.
I just want an exchange system for the coins. I have 400k gold coins and nothing to spend them on. If you could convert all 4 currencies from one to another, it would improve it vastly.
This is a very good example of why we should fix these problems
TLDR: Fuck WB games
100%
MK1 was a huge step backwards and MKX is still the best one IMO
@@undeadinside3571I prefer mk9 , but I agree. Mkx is way better than Mk1.
@@ironspideybraxton MK9 is better for the chaos and rondomness. There are variables in frames on certain moves that make them have different frames sometimes. Kratos is really fun in MK9 too. The quick time events on some of his moves were a nice touch
For as flawed as MK11 is, it’s still felt better than this game.
Yeah it sure is by comparing the player counts on steam!
Mortal Kombat 1: 1,793 In-Game
Takken 8: 35,815 In-Game
Street Fighter 6: 13,606 In-Game
Like damn it is sad to see Mortal Kombat 1 dying they could have at least delay this game but at least it is still fun but damn the loading time in this game just sucks and
I can't even play the story mode since I'm basically stuck in the loading screen.... -_-
I wouldn’t go fully off Steam numbers as MK1 and other MK games were more popular on console. We don’t fully know the numbers on other platforms, but on the Steam end, it’s not good.
I don't think this game is dying in fact I love it I have hope that there to fix a lot of the problems.
Less and less players online
Ed boon is pulling street fighter v this game is not gonna be good even the damn dlc list is huge disappointment people want mk characters not second rate comic movie characters. We could have got ketchup mustard Serena Jax Kano Sonya back hell bring back Kai raicho Mavado
@@humaneshadow300100% agree honestly the only guest I ever liked was spawn. I want MK characters and I also want 1v1
I know this is about concerns for the game, but this particular cluster in the community seems really chill and i want to take this opportunity to maybe talk about what characters we’d like in the next set of DLC characters. (Assuming the game doesnt die before it comes)
Perhaps we can convince (or bully, if Mileena in MK11 is anything to go on) devs to perhaps consider some of these.
Personally, despite knowing very little about the 3D era of this series, i think Hotaru would be an interesting addition. I’d want to see what they do with him now and the story is set up nicely with what Havik had done to Seido. Plus, there’s also the possibility all you guys may see ash williams in the game since he missed out previously lol
when the game come out, i was saying this game is terrible, story is weak, char designs/customs/customizations etc are awful, game is lacking content and modes etc. MK1 fan bois were attacking me personally and defending this trash. and oh look what happened now hahaha :D those people have no backbone anyway, they just go with the public opinion :)
As someone who’s only recently started playing MK1 (literally just got it with a used Xbox Series X maybe a month ago) I gotta say I really like what we’ve got so far with the story and gameplay. The grinding and random unlocks with the shrine along with the micro transactions? We’d be better off without them.
I love Mortal Kombat 1 don’t get me wrong I’m having a lot of fun with the game but I’m still having some issues with the game
1.) lack of content game modes/ and features
2.) XP not being enough to unlock character/Kameo Masteries
3.) lack of communication between NRS and the community
4.) increasing movement/ speed of Kameo recharge
5.) add more customizable slots so we can have a few unique sets instead of just one set outfit
6.) change the monetization within the game we shouldn’t be spending $10 - $15 dollars for skins or fatalities it makes no since if we have to spend $10 - $15 dollars make it a bundle of skins
7.) rework and change invasion add more to it interesting modifications and interesting matches also add Fast travel and a map to get around easily, without losing track of the locations you’ve already visited
This is a dead end game:( Mk died after 2011
The Game shouldve had 2vs2 full playable characters like we thought it would be in the first place
My game doesn't even work. After the patch of 24/10/2023, i can't access the game. İ can never get past into main menus. They haven't fixed it and i haven't been able to play for about 4 months. At least you are able to play the game.
One of the few videos that understands the issues and not just some dumb scrub who just jumps to hate on the game cause they've gotten the chance...like damn dude some of the hate I've seen for this game opened my eyes to how much of a stupid casual filled player base mk has and how much of a bitter elitist community Tekken community is lol...still pretty positive about sf community
I personally like MK1 more than MK10 and 11, it has great gameplay, good skins, great story (as compared to previous parts) but the commercialization of this game made it unplayable i guess
Yeah they gotta Tightend up on this , because Tekken already got my money. And last night may be the last time a play mk for a while tbh.
A lot of this video sounds like you telling everyone to go play MKX, and it is my personal favorite so I’m okay with that
If mkx still alive today nobody barely plays it including injustice 2
I mean there’s several arguments you can make as to why MK1 is becoming the Avatar of Video games currently.
1. Rushed
2. A reboot YET Again
3. IMO Gameplay is not A tier, MK9 & MKX are the A games in gameplay. MK1 LOOKS Nice, the end.
4. Lack of content
5. MICROTRANSACTIONS & ridiculous pricing from some Holiday Fatalities & “custom parts” just being a glorified palette swap
6. Switch Port Fiasco
7. The VASTLY Superior SF6 beating MK in the game awards
8. Tekken 8’s release and (hopefully) future Soul Calibur coming in 2025
9. Lack of extras (Invasion is tedious)
After playing Tekken 8 and SF6 learning characters in those games is 100 times more enjoyable than slowly learning a character in MK1
I hate youtube demonitizations
I feel a little bad for still not getting the game yet but there's just too many other games that have my attention 😭
The wonderful story mode??!!!
The story sucks 😂😂😂😂😂
Its cuz the game is wack i havent played it but its just not MK vibes...the reboot idea was bad in my opinion..Its not gritty and dark..Trying to promote a game with cash grab characters outside the universe shows wackness...this aint Mortal kombat
They said this would be the biggest MAIN roster in mk, AND IT ENDED UP BEING LIKE 13 CHARACTERS AND LIKE 10 kameos, what a rip off.
Should have a released a PS4 version if they were looking for more players. I know so many people that passed on the PS5 because it took too long to become mainstream available to the point now it's like just wait for the next one... then there's the price. For me - I'm still enjoying my PS4 and have a ton of affordable games left to beat (and buy). As for the PS5 and its games the hobby has gone past the amount of money I'm willing to spend on it. Plain and simple. I'm still a gamer at 39, but I ain't paying these whack prices.
Two more games like this being shipped out, it's guaranteed that MK will die.
Why is mk1 dying?….Tekken
As someone who got this early access I am disappointed with the updates so far I do like quan chi but the content just feels lack luster 😅invasions is boring grind just for outfits
Quan chi is the only fighter I like so far and I got him free becaue I got premium edition but idk 🤷♀️ just wish their was more to do
I was way more excited for invasions than anything else and i cant even be bothered to play those anymore. It just feels horrible compared to MKX or even MK11. i dont like seeing the same kameo show up almost constantly either. Variations are one thing, but kameos are basically the entire roster sharing variations! Its lazy and boring!
Mortal kombat need an RPG mode like mk shaolin monks
Yeah and good thing its dying. i was a fan since 3D era days and I quited the franchise after MKX (the last good MK). the last 2 games arent even good, not only they turned it woke, they also ruined story, character designs, costumes/customization and game modes. so yeah it could be gone for good I couldnt care less :)
Gameplay an a? Strong disagree. The games completly busted and kameos are the worst thing to ever happen to mk
Shang sung shouldn’t of been the big bad 😅
Maybe we should have seen this coming, and it’s just a case of history repeating itself. The 4th mainline story game from Midway was MK4, often referred to as the worst game in the “Midway Era.” MK1 being the 4th mainline MK game by NRS, and currently trending toward one of the most disliked games of the “NRS Era.”
Also, each game features a new gameplay mechanic that left players underwhelmed, MK 4 introduced 3D and MK1 introduced a lackluster cameo system. Both seem to be at the forefront of complaints among players.
Honestly, MK1 seems like the epitome of a game trying rest on its past laurels and pass that off as success, or for that matter, acceptable
Hell, If you really wanna add onto that list, MKvsDC is technically considered as MK8...and that game too got a lot of flak when it launched, while also introducing new mechanics that didn't really do alot to impress.
*(The Rage System/Falling Kombat/Close Kombat/ etc.. )*
Eerie how history tends to repeat itself....
Mk1 is a great game and getting better
This game can be fixed just wait they need to drop more updates 😅
11:15 Armageddon callback? 😅😗
The game is done I'm not saying this because I hate the series I'm die hard fgc player plays everything mortal Kombat Tekken street fighter guilty gear BlazBlue are my favorite fighting game series including Capcom Vs snk 2 marvel vs Capcom 1-3. If I was Ed boon I would scrape this game make another version removed kameos tight up gameplay add chess kart bowling easy way to get skins add everyone klassic skins from every generation. Bring back Sonya Jax Serena ketchup mustard Kano back to the roster. Add klassic stages juke box mode.
Asking for MK1 without kameo is same as asking MKX/MK11 without variants and I think first trilogy showed Ed with team don’t have intention of returning any modes from 3D era, lol
Visually great, gameplay meh, fatalities average. I was a teen when the first mk came out.
Raiden thats the problem with the game
11:17 Sure, why not? :D
MK1>>MK11
Dying? It’s been dead after the 1st month
This didn’t age well people are flocking to tekken 😂
Hello
