Mortal Kombat Armageddon Was a Mistake

It's finally time, the next MK game on our list. Mortal Kombat Armageddon. The MK Trilogy of the 3D Era and a game that I think gets a bad rap, so we're gonna play though it and see for ourselves how the game still holds up!

"Mortal Kombat Armageddon Was a Mistake" is FINALLY here! The game is divisive in the fanbase for its shoddy fatalities, broken kreate a kharacter mode, but I remembered having a good time with Konquest so we're here to check it out and see if it holds up! Also, ____ Was a Mistake is just becoming my playthrough series and I'm aiming to make it a WEEKLY series so can you guys guess what's next? Hint. Taking a break from MK story modes next week 👀

You punch Mileena because she's a villain. Stryker punches Mileena because she's a woman. We are not the same.

Didn’t Stryker technically start Armageddon cause he punched Mileena setting everything off 😂

[@tgtkai]

It is all stryker's fault yes lmao, that's why it's a meme in the MK community

[@SirLightsOut99]

I wonder if that meme specifically is how Ed Boon was feeling throughout the entirety of MK11's run due to what, or more accurately who, he had to put up with on Twitter every day.

Just like in real life, a random police brutality may start a chain reaction to somewhat armageddon

I still love that Taven just straight up walks next to Goro and scares the fuck out of him casually. Also as a chilluns I couldn't get past that fucking statue because I didn't have the internet to look up how to beat it, so I never got past that part of the story.

[@mpsins]

I found it out by accident but it took me about 5 hours, my focus as a kid was unmatched so I tried literally everything.

In Taven’s arcade tower ending, instead of stripping them of their special powers, it made them stronger.

[@paulmestrejr5904]

Agreed but you can only put so much on a disc during this time since they focused so much so on the characters and showing the legacy of MK. Very impressive of what we got in the end though

Stryker is mainly known for two things: 1.Punching Mileena during Armageddon. 2.Police Brutality, which is coming up! …literally in the next game.

[@rexblade504]

That's why he's the best character

[@Baraka_Maracas]

As a person that grew up with Armageddon, that intro alone makes it a top 3 games

[@sumanchaturvedi3415]

Armageddon has the best intro in the mk series

[@Jean-the-pants-man]

Stryker racist towards tarkatans 💀

[@avetiq3905]

His intro is "Police brutality coming up" in MK9, so yeah

[@stillwinston3765]

It will always be canon that no matter the timeline Stryker will beat up Mileena

[@Wembley624]

No, it wasn't a mistake. Thanks to Mortal Kombat Armaggeddon I played the amazing kart race, listening to hours of the krypt's music while unlocking things, creating my character and trying my best to make Ultimate Fatality and failing miserably.

[@just_a_tepig3611]

I wonder how taven would be if they brought him back today, what dort of godly power will he be given in order to stand out.

[@98izzark69]

This konquest mode really shows that all you have to do is let the player run around the realms and interact/fight characters from the MK universe and we'll be satisfied. Not sure what netherrealm can't seem to comprehend about this in the newer games' additional modes

[@TheDapperDragon]

Or play chess. Or drive go karts

[@CalciumChief]

I didn't "love" Armageddon's story mode (Taven is just budget Kratos), but it was fun as a side-mode. While clearly not as developed as Shaolin Monks from the year prior (not even a jump button), it was still engaging enough.

[@Glennotron]

this was the first mk i played so im so happy to see this video finally, i loved it especially cause the intro scene

[@ericramirez2433]

This was hilarious and you have earned a new subscriber. Keep it up

[@ItsTheFizz]

Armageddon Konquest was neat for being a completely different game but it always bugged me from a lore perspective as Deception's Konquest hinted at The One Being being the next villain but then every plotline introduced in Deception was rendered irrelevant to a complete asspull of a doomsday prophecy for a Gary Sue who spends the majority of the story mode being led around with no agency...

[@tgtkai]

I have NEVER heard the phrase Gary Sue before and I'm stealing that, that's great But I agree. It a fun ..... MK rollercoaster we'll call it, but it throws away a lot of setup from deception

[@tykamen5588]

​@@tgtkaiGary stue just a phrase to describe the male equivalent of a Mary Sue, both phrases mean the same thing but one is describing a male.

[@FlappableElf]

This is my favorite Mortal Kombat game ever! I love this game so much I decided to start speedrunning it and I ended up getting the World Record after lots of practice!

[@Rainaerys]

Been waiting on this!!!!

[@SirKobrias]

What's interesting looking back, There is this whole other story going on outside of Taven's perspective that he is unaware is going on the whole time, you play literally as the background character who doesn't know what's going on. You can put some pieces together some of what's actually going on for the other heroic characters, but Taven is usually witnessing part of their story arc for a couple seconds or getting into a fight with them. Li Mei actually had quite a journey over the three games, I did not remember her actually beating Shinnok there! And Taven just jumps in to help Shinnok because he's unaware that Shinnok is evil. I'm pretty sure Raiden actually did kill Shujinko before he could take out the bad guys, it would be so cool to see him actually pop off against the Deadly Alliance 2.0. Too bad. But yes, Taven is literally the guy in the background who ultimately doesn't achieve anything because the gets killed by Blaze and Shao Kahn is the won who took the prize.

[@Abel_Unstable]

Reminds me that during The Banished Trailer, Kameo Stryker destroyed Mileena too lmao.
