No matter your stance on it. Aftermath having an entirely new story that is half the size of the one in the main game, is pretty impressive for a DLC (now whether the story itself is good is a conversation for another day XD)

[@JH-fw5xm]

Agreed, it was an impressive addition for a dlc add-on (albeit with a mediocre storyline). However, the things that made the predecessor games better were the alternate modes in those games, like the S.T.A.R. labs missions or tag-team. That was a missed opportunity, but I guess they only had time for one option and opted for the additional storyline. Whether it paid off is the fans' decisions.

[@uppercutgrandma4425]

It was planned that way since the beginning. What's to say that didn't actually have a negative impact on the course of the game's life?

[@saloz9483]

The announcement of the game ending support didn't annoy me. No what annoyed was the complete and utter silence NRS has with their consumers. They went dark for a good long while with no response about if there will be a KP3 or not. If the answer was always no then just say so and thats it. Dont keep dark for then just drop it out of the blue. It doesn't help Ed boon just loves to troll the consumers.

[@Uber_scorpion]

Also the fact that they straight up said. They were far from being finished around auguts, but then they released KP2 and left us with silence. One more dlc pack is not far from being done it's prettt close to being done actually.

[@Jose-se9pu]

I dont think there was going to be a KP3, but I think KP2 was going to have 3 more characters, and a few new stages...but then the pandemic happened, and legal trouble like losing the rights to use Ash despite the character already been finished.

[@aseulgi75]

Literally… all they had to do was communicate.

[@Headstrong9128]

At this moment there's just speculation but maybe NRS didn't know if WB would allow to keep supporting MK11, saying there would be no more DLC could've hurt sales and even if NRS then dropped a KP3, the momentum of the game would have diminished. If they said yes but then it was cancelled by WB's decision, well the outrage for WB would be massive.

It's a shame that in the near future these three games will no longer be available or get the dedicated support needed. Mk 9 has been taken off most gaming platforms and isn't backwards compatible with the Xbox One series. MKX will most likely be taken away in another decade or so what with the guest characters being the issue same for MK11. Then again one can argue it's the consumers fault for not getting the games at their prime but at the same time most new fans don't get into the series till after most of the games are unattainable at that point of time. 4/16/22 Update- At the time of writing this I was in the negative understanding of Mk9 and MK.V.DC never coming back in any form but thanks to Xbox we do have these games available for backwards compatibility so that is something neat.

Add to that some legal issues, we had confirmation from Bruce Campbell himself about Ash been FINISHED, and it couldnt be released because they lost the rights because another studio is making an Evil Dead game. And paying Bruce, finishing the model, making the moveset, that is a lot of money that went straight to the trash. I think they never lied or overhyped anything, they were silent because they probably though they would be releasing 3 more characters this year, when they lost Ash, and realize the other two characters wouldnt be finished by the end of this fiscal year, they pulled the plug on the whole thing, and started working on a new proyect.

[@MannerdDesert7]

The problem isn’t how much content it has compared to other NRS games, it’s how much content it has compared to other fighting games, when Street fighter, Tekken, Smash and Dragon Ball Fighter Z are still getting supported while MK has finished support (even though there are still heaps of issues) and is at least 2 years (probably 4) away from another title, what’s keeping me from jumping ship, I don’t have time to invest in all the fighting games out there and I’d rather invest in a game that’s going to last. I stopped playing mk11 regularly a while ago and honestly Tekken 7 (Tekken was one of the first game series I got into as a kid) DBFZ and SFV are looking really appealing, if NRS can’t justify investing their time and money into supporting MK11 then that’s fine, but I can’t justify investing my time and money either.

I have a few thoughts. Why would it be profitable for Tekken, Smash and Street Fighter but not Mortal Kombat? I understand they have a full team to support but so do the other franchises. Also surely adding a extra stage and couple of characters every year wouldn't distract significantly from making a new title. Just have a small B team maintaining support. DLC after all has some of the highest margins of all software content. Agreed about the length and amount of content been "good enough" though.

[@danielkells6021]

Namco Bandai, Nintendo & Capcom all have other studios to work on other projects that lessens the financial risk if the post game content fails to sell (key word IF) NRS however are a studio that WB use for their own games, which means they don't have that financial leeway, especially if we also take into account the rumours of a sell off

[@thebean529]

Games like tekken, sfv, etc aren't the main games in their bandinamcos game list, so they can be supported for longer since its not their biggest money maker. Their budgets are generally smaller so they have to spread content out for a long long time. Nrs is one of WB's premium game studios so they in fact get the budget and have to make more games due to contract and money reasons. It's like cod and why cod makes a game every year while ea/dice only make a battlefield every 4 years

@@thebean529 street fighter isn't Capcoms biggest seller? Are you smoking crack?

[@Garviel-Loken]

Developing characters is time-consuming. With 37 characters at two variations, a new character has to be tested at very least 148 times. That would be a single match with each character in each variation, which isn't adequate playtesting. So that would not include very particular setups, scenarios, hit and hurt box interactions for every neutral, special, x-ray, throw etc. That's only the shallowest of explanations for just testing the character. There would have to be 148 in depth sessions of testing. You still need concepts and design et all before that. For larger developers that control their cash flow, it can be sustained if the retention and new uptake are there but when you have a parent company to answer to, it's not a simple case of they can just keep working on it. If WB says stop, they stop. You also need enough staff to have a b team. Sadly, they will probably be allowed to employ for initial development, then scaled back after initial release.

All I've learned is definitely true in this whole debacle is that NRS generally doesn't support games for long, especially compared to other fighting game makers. That said, despite having no real sympathy for them or Ed Boon, I imagine this entire affair is Warner Brothers's fault given the other recent instances of very public incompetence it's made for the past decade (called the DCEU), and that WB is probably just letting NRS get thrown under the bus here as the much smaller company. I wouldn't be surprised if WB was forcing NRS to currently work on _Injustice 3_ with some type of _Flashpoint_ tie-in for that DCEU version of it I think might still be coming out. It's hard to know though given WB's incompetence with the DCEU has shown they barely have an actual plan themselves most of the times beyond "make money at any cost". The failure of the latest terrible live-action _Mortal Kombat_ movie might well have been a factor too though, to the point that I'm bit surprised I didn't consider that before this video; it's probably because that movie was such a nothingy thing I legitimately forgot it existed already due to having sub-zero desire to watch it.

I don’t understand why people say that MK11 wasn’t NRS’s longest supported game (besides mobile) when there is clear evidence of it. What I DO understand is the bad taste left in peoples’ mouths after about half a year of silence from NRS to stop financial support. While they have technically supported this mainline title the longest, they were super unprofessional about it. In fact, many characters still suffer from various gameplay issues that need to be tweaked like Shang’s Ermac lift not connecting in the corner or how Rain has to spend almost all his bar to get a measly 31-35% where some don’t even NEED bar to reach that. Basically, this whole situation could have been handled a lot better from both NRS and the community. Hopefully NRS can learn to become more interactive with their community and the community can learn to respect NRS’s decision with the game THEY create.

Charcters being useless - Jacqui (I'm sorry it has to be said), Skarlette, Erron Black, Cyrax, Frost, Sonya (younger), Kollector, Shao Kahn himself, oh my I could go on and on and on! though to end on a lighter note some things I did like in mk11 - kitana's personality, cassie's personality, Johnny (MVP of the whole game), Liu Kang and Kung Lao's friendship, Kung lao(story mode)!

[@Games_Cool_Moments]

What are your thoughts about the idea which I will speak about? I wish so bad they did an option, which allows us to costumize every character's model like skins in MK11 game. For example, we picked Scorpion, and we can make him bigger with big muscles 💪 as it was in MK9 or MKX. Or make him a little thinner like Liu Kang, that's what I mean. It was possible only in MKA for PS2 during creating your own fighter. I want them to make the same in MK11, that would be so dope 👍

[@Lewt_2B]

About the point in terms of support compared to games like Tekken and SF: There's also the factor that these games are low budget titles for Bandai Namco and Capcom respectively. NRS games are AAA budget. This is also why they can't juggle multiple games like Arcsystemworks. ASW has multiple teams working on the different titles (this is why "Team Red" was used when announcing Guilty Gear Strive, while their other team was working on Granblue and probably Dungeon Fighter now). That is simply not how WB wants to spread their assets. They put a high budget and want very high production value, it takes the whole of NRS to do that. So NRS can't just juggle MK11 while also making their next game at the same time, that's simply not what the publisher wants them to do. Besides NRS games sell way more hard copies than any of these other games. Tekken 7 has been out for 4 years on consoles and it still sold less hard copies than MK11 did within 1 year. NRS attracts the casual crowd which is more likely to buy the hard copy and less likely to buy additional DLC, while the other games don't sell as many copies but more DLC since more of the hardcore playerbase plays online. I mean I love Strive right now, but they are celebrating 500k copies right now... which is laughable compared to WB/NRS numbers. WB is probably more interested in shipping copies of a new game to millions and millions of people rather than selling DLC to 5-6 digits amount of people.

Bruh, if they supported this game as long as SFV & Tekken 7, it'd be 2031 before we get MK12 IF Injustice 3 is their only other game they make (which would follow MK11's lead and also be supported as long). And if that Marvel Fighter is true, that'll move to 2037 if WB don't decide the IP is still worth it. As a Struggling SF fan, I'm glad it ended support for MK11 personally.

I'm worried about people's conceptions of "supported" game. I mean, the best example of an actively supported game should be Brawhalla - a game released complete and without any downside. And we have, uuh... SFV. An extremely capped game at its launch with more than half the rooster obtainable with micro-transactions. I mean, guys, is that serious? They took almost as long to fix this game as CDPR took to fix Cyberpunk 2077, perhaps even more. And as Snake said in the video, NR is a small studio with a limited schedule. Meanwhile Namco and Capcom have plenty of time to work as much as they want with tittles they have. Ofc, NR's communication skills suck real hard.
