Totally agree with Dan Forden making his iconic "Toasty/Frosty" return.

[@achristiananarchist2509]

That not being a thing in modern MK games kind of hurts my brain. It would be like hearing that mario's jumps are now silent.

[@benwasserman8223]

Props for making a MK story where you actually get to sympathize with Baraka and Mileena. Or where Johnny Cage is smarter than he looks.

[@Phanthief95]

And Reptile too

[@natsusatsujinki8342]

I always sympathized with Mileena. Especially since 9.

[@dieptrieu6564]

@@sopcannon I mean that's the only way you can tell story with fighting game, honestly. Having 2 dude hitting each other in the face all the time isn't exactly a great way to tell story, lmao

[@chideraalexanderdex547]

​@@sopcannoni think the story is as much a part of mortal Kombat as the gore is Mk has the most tightly structured lore in fighting games, most other games just have a very loose storytelling structure, putting more focus on tournaments The lore of mk is what makes it such a pop culture icon and the only fighting game that does well in movie, animation and comics and most mk fans come to see what happened to their favorite characters and which new story development there is from the last game

[@DanGamingFan2846]

The only thing worse than Megan fox's performance (seriously, how is it so bad?) is how generic this feels. They hardly did anything to stand out amongst all the other fighting games released in the last decade, aside from all the over the top gore, anyway. But at least the ending is insane.

[@watershipup7101]

I should be angry at them for copping out on the whole 100% reboot thing, but on the other hand the way they did it and that final story mode chapter with its build up was so over the top, nonsensical, insane and crazy I can’t help but begrudgingly respect them for their moxie and gall.

I wonder if I'm the only one that was excited to see a _Primal Rage_ arcade cabinet in Johnny Cage's mansion during his invasion event line. It's the second time NRS referenced that forgotten classics of the 90's in a mainline _Mortal Kombat_ entry. It also makes me wish Ed Boon and his team would revive _Primal Rage_ with all they've learned from the best parts of their last few MK entries. I, for one, find playing as a primordial dinosaur god that battles rival gods in a post apocyliptic Earth and eats neo-caveman worshippers far more interesting than playing as one of the cartoonish humans that feel like they're trapped in a cheesy early 90's kung-fu movie.
