Does The FGC Hate The NRS Community? No Mortal Kombat 1 at Evo France

[@ri_c_e]

-Pc Issues -many dont enjoy the game -mk is certainly a different type of 2d fighter -mk isnt as big outside of north and south america -mk comp scene is small -small evo numbers are all what i belive contributed to this

[@poseidonssb1]

Makes sense, all really good points

[@runbaa9285]

MK isn't really popular outside the Americas, honestly. It has a sizable fanbase in the EU, but it's comparatively miniscule. Plus, DBFZ is BIG in France. I guarantee you, EVO Singapore isn't going to feature any NRS games on the main stage, just for the simple fact that MK is barely a blip in large parts of the Asian market. No demand, no show. Just how a market works.

[@poseidonssb1]

100% get what you are saying

[@xmartinv1xvideogamingtv69]

Mortal Kombat is banned in many countries its banned in Asia.

[@kangweiyan7012]

I heard EVO France will be using PC for all games and guess what? MK1 on PC still has performance issue so this might be a factor as well

[@poseidonssb1]

That is a very very good point

[@UPRUnimeme]

Short answer: yes, wholeheartedly. If youve seen the replies to any tweet involving this discourse MK1 is the #1 game to shit on. I personally enjoy the game, but it feels like there is ALWAYS something going wrong. From the release missing features, to the backlash over DLC with the same price as a AAA game, to now the PC port DYING ever since that same DLC. It sucks, but all we can do is keep playing

[@poseidonssb1]

Yeah just keep playing and keep the competitive scene alive

[@Synical02]

IMO that's all our community talks about, and it kills morale. This is a consistent trend now. Mk11 was HATED its first 5-6 months, then people slowly came around. Now people are like we def overreacted. I remembered Maximillian dood saying why not buy the krypt? To people now being glad they experienced it. Look at the Tekken Dlcs Look at the sf5, and sf6 microtransaction hell. I think we need to talk about our community.

[@minzy421]

Evo 2020 lineup mk11 got dropped for mvc2 looks like mk1 getting dropped for mvc2 at evo vegas 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@poseidonssb1]

That would be crazy

[@xmartinv1xvideogamingtv69]

I don’t know but I have the big 3 and enjoy them equally but I enjoy more MK 1 because I’m more an MK guy and oh and the new #1 pound for pound, DB Sparking zero. But untill I recently deleted it because there’s a saved data deleted bug going on, where you lose all your progress, when you say get off from the game to play another game or when you got off the console to eat and you get back on to see your saved data been reset. So that’s a big turn off, because I put more than 10 hours in and it’s all gone and gotta start from zero again and that’s a big no no, my only big complain about DB Sparking zero. On release that was a problem for me and my bro and other people I seen posted about it on Reddit. Ima install it back until I hear from them officially saying it’s been fixed. Right now MK 1 is better than on release, it’s on the right direction where it’s been going I think.

[@poseidonssb1]

I think mk1 is the best place it has been since launch

[@LordRichard5451]

​@poseidonssb1 Facts here! 🔥💯 Damn, tho. I'm sorry to hear that guy lost that many hours on Sparking Zero.. But in time, hopefully, that error gets corrected. And even they... may be blessed with Khaos! 🌋🔥☄️ #MK1🔥🐉

[@kahnquest_mK]

Love Mk and Guilty Gear. MK is my first love. 👍

[@poseidonssb1]

I heart mk as well

[@davidpst]

FGC is toxic indeed 🗑️

[@poseidonssb1]

Facts

[@fightedmealready2692]

I’m not a big MK player, I usually play GG Strive, SF6, and Tekken. But as a viewer for Evo I’m definitely glad MK1 is off the list. I don’t hate or think the game is bad, it’s just not nearly as interesting imo to watch as any of the other games they chose to participate. That and the turn out of competitive players for MK tournaments is always so low it’s just not worth choosing it over any of these other options

[@poseidonssb1]

Yeah I get it just wish it wasn't the case for obvious bias reasons, hopefully it can turn around

[@shirairyutv420]

Hate may not be the right word but its something

[@poseidonssb1]

Certainly something

[@yusefbartlett4011]

I think a problem that contributes too is it seems popular to hate nrs for high fives and smooches

[@poseidonssb1]

Yeah like dunking on MK is a popular thing to do for sure

[@MrDJSilenze]

Those saying hateful things about MK1 aren't real fans of MK, likely don't play MK for whatever reason. My bold opinion, those that hate on video games and wish titles to fail at every turn are not REAL gamers. The time we are in...hate gets the social media attention.

[@poseidonssb1]

It really does that is true

[@MC24DB]

That makes absolutely no sense considering every MK title from NRS is completely different from the last.

[@MrDJSilenze]

​@@MC24DBmake it make sense then. Why's the hate always the same no matter the difference in NRS game? SF community, Tekken community talk the most @$#! whatever an MK comes out. Doesn't matter if one is different from the last...they don't play MK. "Twitter/X" hate is the most popular game the entire FGC plays. Change my mind.

[@MC24DB]

@@MrDJSilenze what do you mean make it make sense? My last comment just told you why.

[@dannywhitaker7490]

Nah true fans will say it as they see it the want better for the franchise

[@aleksandarstefanovic605]

Reasons to hate MK 1: 1.The Price of the game. 2. Boring gameplay. 3.Every character has one Combo you do on repeat. 4.Kameos, I like that they tried. Didn't land. 5.The Story is lazy and shit. 6.The DLC Story is lazy and shit. 7.The price of the DLC. 8. Unplayable on PC. 9. Full of bugs. I have played all of these games and somehow Mk1 is the only one I find shit like most of the FGC community. Why is that? Is it possible that the game lacks any depth or reason to play. Do i get anything for playing it other than recolors of the same skin 20 times? I'm level 100 and stopped playing around the time Homelander got released and even that was forcing myself to play the game to cope for wasting 100 dollars. And before anyone types "But I have fun playing it" or "I love the game", you are a simple minded creature and have at it. But to sit and spew out this nonsense that the hate for the game just comes out of nowhere just pisses me off.

[@poseidonssb1]

Lmao do you play other fighting games? The price of the last street fighter DLC was similar and you received far less. If you are a normal human being someone else liking something that doesn't harm other people shouldn't bother you. The fact it does is down right hilarious.

[@aleksandarstefanovic605]

@poseidonssb1 What?....Are you sure this comment is directed to what I wrote? So out of the entire list you try defending the price? But that's probably the only thing you can defend from the list because you know I'm Right about the rest. Did you even read the entire thing. I said that I hate that the Mk community thinks the hate for Mortal Kombat 1 comes out of nowhere. Not that I hate you for liking the game. You think that the current mk community liking the current game is making me lose sleep? There's like 2000 of you left on steam. The only reason mk still pops up is because of this Evo France fiesta. But you point the finger at us like we are the reason the game is shit. And btw for your information I Bought Street 6 and Tekken 8, (2 games for the price of MK1 premium) that have far more everything than mk 1 premium edition. Which I pre ordered mind you. Mk 1 was disappointing the entire way and this isn't just my opinion. But no. Keep sucking them off. See how shit the next installment is going to be.

[@poseidonssb1]

@@aleksandarstefanovic605 yeah Im not reading all that but Im happy for you or sorry that happened

[@Average_Eggman]

the explanation is simple. mk1 isnt fun to watch or fan boy over anymore, proof is the lack of everything in mk1

[@poseidonssb1]

I mean I love the game, I have a ton of fun with it

[@Synical02]

100% YES. They literally take any and every chance they get to crap on mk. from umvc3-sf6. To be fair some deserved we have wacky ass devs, and a bipolar community. Even though NRS has had a better, and bigger franchise than MAJORITY of the fighting games. In terms of creativity, and quality, and balance. Even if you argued mk1,mk11, or injustice 2 aren't as good they are still a 7-8/10. I Loved injustice 2, but hate so many mechanics, and the balancing was hit or miss, but NRS always has started off weak, and picked it up throughout the year, and has a major overhaul that swings the majority over. - SF has had far WORSE microtransactions ,balancing ,player communication, and update timeframe since 2016. - Tekken 7-8 only recently gotten the franchise it's superstardom only because, the negative first impressions of the other two franchises. Here's a constant the less, and less discourse around mk1 the more people see the flaws in sf6, and tekken 8. Someone said tekken 8 is a casino fighter.

[@iankoscuik2498]

Not surprised but stinks

[@poseidonssb1]

Yeah same

[@amosuawoyemi9959]

No there are just better fighting games out. Tekken 8 and Streetfighter 6 are better than MK1. DBFZ is huge in France and MK1 can't compete with that game. If you have been living under a rock you would know how popular Guilty Gear is right now. Gran Blue has been getting bigger and bigger. Fatal Fury is the new SNK game and it also will be getting Ken and Chun Li as DLC in the future. Every single one of these games will cook MK in tournament numbers today. There is no need to embarrass the game anymore than it already is. Unlike before MK can't hide behind having roll back Netcode cause a lot of these games have it now. There is no legit reason to showcase a game where it has no excitement behind it. If the community loves the game so much in EU then they should prove it and just make their own tournaments for the game. Collaborate with others who love the game and create it for yourself. MK1 is a party game. Its not fun to watch in my opinion. All of the games mentioned for EVO France are more fun to watch than MK. EVO knows this! EVO is a business and so not having MK there as a main game is a great business decision. To those that love it they should do a side tournament for the game and put out a call. If EU loves the game so much I'm sure they'll come out to that right? Right?!

[@poseidonssb1]

I have done basically everything I can personally to help the MK community. Just sucks watching people constantly shit on it right or not because we should be able to exist as a community. People being genuinely happy to see something not there that has no effect on them at all is pretty crazy. I understand your point though, you are right.
