Glancing through the early user reviews and folks, so far it seems like the new one has gone wrong in two key ways: having maddeningly onerous lootbox unlocks, and having female characters that are wearing clothes

don't forget people are also mad at it for it making the controversial political statement of "slavery was bad"

i don't really follow MK these days but i think the chainsaw guy from Mandy would be a cool and fitting character for the series

not just that slavery is bad, but that a storyline where time travel stops slavery from ever happening somehow promotes ‘white genocide’ban videogames, honestly

Barry on HBO sometimes feels like a sub-zero/quan chi cutscene

the last one I played was like 10 years ago. maybe Annihilation? either way I remember that mini-adventure game tacked onto it, I was fascinated with it because of how underdeveloped it was

i played mortal kombat mythologies sub zero a lot as a kid bc i was obsessed with the cut scenes (which are... real lol to me at this point in my life) and i thought it was such a cool idea (a mortal kombat platformer *should* be a cool thing!). however: fundamentally unplayable game

MK11 at its core, has gone right!The abominable, tedious unlock grind and always online games-as-a-service is godawful though. I feel you could replace the term "MK11" here with so many games in 2019.Female characters ARE a lot better in this one, though credit due to MKX for starting their trend of actually designing them decently
Still, it's MK - totally worth it for the goofy single player experience even if you can't/don't want to play with others. They've been a lot better than Capcom in at least delivering that. (Though I hate that so much is gated behind the online Towers. And the AI battles are such a waste of time as much as they were in Injustice 2.)

Shang Tsung trailer. Sindel, Nightwolf, Spawn confirmed. The leaks with Ash and Terminator probably true. Gotta give to NRS, they do these trailers well.

I can't believe how many mortal kombat games there are. It's the same game, right?

Well you could say that about street fighter, tekken, king of fighters…new versions are the same but different yknow

Only one of those I've played are Streetfighter II. I used to like MK1 and 2 on the SNES. I getcha though, just impressed they've managed to do so many, topping them every few years like the FIFA games
Xp lol

just watched mortal kombat (2021) and honestly couldn't have asked for anything more than what i got.

sold!

it has:
2-3 really nicely staged and executed scenes2-3 performances with enough charisma to carry the terrible dialog (though sadly not the lead guy who is basically one of derek zoolander's model friends enlisted to act)3-4 moments that will make you go yesssssss if you have any affection at all for the games1 very funny, subtle-enough callback to the gameplay of the first couple editions that should make you smile
as an object of IP care and feeding it does more than enough
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 25 April 2021 03:59 (three years ago) link
so cheesy, total fan service. story very clunky, but as B-grade schlock, good!
― Nhex, Monday, 26 April 2021 03:51 (three years ago) link
Sounds good to me. I am a fan of the very silly '95 movie and was worried this was going to be like a Zack Snyder take on the IP
― feed me with your chips (zchyrs), Monday, 26 April 2021 13:00 (three years ago) link
yeah I just assumed that what this movie was gonna be so I didn't have much interest in seeing it. if it's ridiculous and stupid I might watch it after all.
― frogbs, Monday, 26 April 2021 13:09 (three years ago) link
there are some funny moments but i was frequently bored. suffered from a lack of lambert. all the casting is terrible imo.
― adam, Monday, 26 April 2021 15:34 (three years ago) link
Watched it last night. While it *was* stupid, it also wasn't very much fun outside of a handful of the fight scenes. I feel like this property would be better served Netflix Castlevania-style as an OTT gory animated series.
