Mortal Kombat 1 FELL OFF!

[@mistahmaniac7215]

Real shame the only time MK1 gets any hype is when a guest character from ANY OTHER FRANCHISE gets added. Love the game but holy shit is it lacking.

[@Demigah]

And saying lacking is generous

[@ccelite3782]

It was hype asf up until you play through all the base content. And the only other conen5 confirmed are Guest Characters. Oh, and the release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 didn't help. Even if that game did low-key flop? It's a thousand times better than MK1

[@kit_ts6087]

​@@ccelite3782Spiderman 2 definitely didn't flop

[@ccelite3782]

@kit_ts6087 gameplay was great, voice acting was great. In terms of the story? The quality is definitely a major decline.

Also MK1 was unfinished at launch, no cross play in an online game at launch in 2024 is crazy tbh.

It's still unfinished and probably always will be. No skins for DLC characters is CRAZY

This is crazy, but honestly it's deserved because of everything nrs has done.

[@aavavertu229]

As an FG enthusiasist I want all of the franchises to succeed. NRS is making it very difficult to root for them right now though. With Tekken 8 just around the corner, we owe it to ourselves to check that game out. NRS needs to get their s*it together in the future!

[@gravekeepersven82]

The rest of the fighting games are not playing around with NRS this year at all and they want all the smoke.

[@wandered_rogue22]

Warner Bros is the problem, not NRS… NRS was forced to roll out the game before it was finished, courtesy of WB…. This is the same problem DICE went through with EA during Battlefront 2

[@gravekeepersven82]

@@wandered_rogue22 WB should have stuck to making superhero sitcoms instead of games

[@65firered]

At this point the only two things keeping this game alive is the DLC characters and possible story DLC.

[@ArrowValley]

I forgot about this before it came out, I forgot about it when it came out, I forgot about it till I saw this video. And I loved this series up to MKX

[@wpyyexe]

Not even Homelander and Omniman can save this game! 🤣😭

[@pic320]

Bruh, it's so sad how this shit flopped. I swear they put all of their time and resouces into marketing the game and not actually the game. If WB wanted to make hella bread, they would've made sure the game was completed first. If you want to make good money, make a good product and people will buy. SIMPLE!

[@Kxfi_247]

I’m so glad I have street fighter 6 to fall back on because man mk1 is dry, I’ll come back when they put John cena in 🤝🏾

[@battay5942]

Its like the focused more on the story and the looks of the characters and the way that they act but they just forgot to make sure that the gameplay is actually well playable without people having to worry about this type of stuff and the characters being unbalanced

[@s.o.l.o777]

I miss the early Mortal Kombat games during the PS2 era it felt like Mortal Kombat back then! The music and everything..

[@Dnell.]

Crazy how mkx had me in a choke hold 11 was pretty good . I have less then 40 hours in MK1 and I bought it day 1 …

[@gravekeepersven82]

I am so disappointed that NRS and WB dropped the ball on their own franchise that prints money.

[@Nexa1258]

I agree with you man, it sucks cause I loved MK games and I barely played the game. I got bored with invasions, I’ll come back too when the next dlc’s drops.

[@regulator18E]

This was almost the first MK ive bought since ultimate mk3 for the snes in 1995. Whelp, ill just wait another 30 years i guess 😂

[@Tribrid-zv3nq]

Turning Kuai Liang into Scorpion was the worst decision they made. Why? Why? Who told them that was a good decision? And why does he have Japanese weapons if he's Chinese now? Why did he just so coincidently decide to run to JAPAN and create a clan called the Shirai Ryu and not a clan with a Chinese name? Why is he with Scorpion's wife? Thats even way worse? Why does he look like Hanzo? AND WHY IS HANZO NOW SOME ORPHAN IN TRAINING??

[@wapfa]

Off the top of my head let me list reasons this game might be doing badly: >Unbalanced characters, even months after release. Dont get me STARTED on Sereena. >Games massive. Like 150GB massive. When youre bored or want a new game, chances are youre gonna delete this first. >Despite its size, its small! There was a LACKING amount of content on release, and its still got jack shit going for it. I got the platinum trophy the second they dropped a Titan Battle! Hopefully they learn and increase their story-stuffs (and downsize the size) for MK2. Graphics shouldn't be a priority!

[@LilSleepDoctor]

Ong and if you feel like playing it again you have to wait a full day for it to finish downloading

[@WhiteHeavenRuckus99]

I feel like the reason WHY it fell off was because of the lack of content. There’s barely any DLC skin packs or skins in general compared to X and 11, you feel me? Another thing is the update schedule and the item shop refresh…don’t get me started on that😭 it deadass takes approximately 2 weeks to refresh istg, I can find a loyal gf in the span of 2 item shops. But throughout all this bs the game can still be saved.

[@doctoreggman5537]

Turning Kuai Liang (did I spell it right?) into scorpion kinda started to push me away from the game.

[@GoyaPaco]

Preach. I was okay with it first but the skin where his head is on fire it’s like wtf.. Not a pint of rage in this dude he still tranquil asf

[@Sara-it9se]

Same for me. They just shoehorned him Hanzo's entire life and legacy, while making Hanzo into some homeless orphan. It also makes no sense that Kuai (a Chinese man) is using Japanese weapons and runs off to Japan to start a Japanese clan. They're also trying to force this whole "rage" aspect on him (as seen in Raiden's ending) while Kuai as a character has never been about that and has always been more calm and collected, even at a younger age he was never defined by his rage. Hanzo's rage was understandable and made sense considering all he lost and was forced to go through. Kuai's supposed "rage" is a joke compared to that.

[@Demigah]

I can agree that it was useless to switch Hanzo for Kuai Liang, but I don't necessarily think that he was done dirty in the story@@Sara-it9se

[@ezc_d2yt329]

⁠@@DemigahWhile I don’t think the change was necessary, I can see why they did it. I’m guessing they did it because they wanted sub zero and scorpion to be brothers.

[@justamediocreyoutubechanne4172]

That's kinda stupid if that's the reason why you didn't play the game

[@kit_ts6087]

I shouldn't have to pre order the game to play as a character that i can also play as in story mode

[@Demigah]

EXACTLY

[@bigcooltony437]

4:02 this aged like spoiled milk 💀💀💀

[@Crunchy-red-leaf]

imo 4 things caused the mortal kombat series to fall off 1 rebooting the series while acknowledging the events of the old timeline instead of just rebooting it completely 2 lazily killing off fan favorites in mk9's story mode 3 bringing back beloved characters in story mode and not having them be playable and not even available as dlc such as Sindel and Baraka 4 dragging their feet in bringing back fan favorites and the ones that are brought back are retconned to the point where it is too damn big to ignore. For example when Kabal was announced in MK11 I was hoping they would still acknowledge that he joined the defenders of earthrealm but they threw that out the window

[@captaindiabetes4004]

Yeah great video man ive seen alot of people going back to mk11 as a result which is insane but i would like to see a 6arakin video but no need to rush or force yourself

[@codecaine]

lol they still have data frames way off in the practice menu for some characters like tanya. Says he f2 1 1 2 is plus 15. I that was the case that all you need to do to win with infinite pressure. It also stay that startup frames is 1.

[@nestamanzi3067]

Unfortunately yes. But I was wondering if they can fix it similar to Street Fighter 5 had some issues.

[@Demigah]

I kinda doubt it as of now

[@nestamanzi3067]

@@Demigah I can see why. But yeah MK11 gave DLC characters their own skins like they did with Spawn. But who knows, I think Tekken will win this year for fighting game of 2024, but time will tell for sure if they can try to fix the problems but I do agree with what you said about MK11 being the best game.
