PSX Longplay [018] Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

[@persona83]

I can't understand why this game is regarded as "poorly received" by public/critics. It's just awesome. The MK franchise should have had more games like that.

[@pelu101]

they did, they made MK Special Forces but that was awful, they redeemed themselves with MK Shaolin Monks years later. MK9 is the beginning of these kinds of story playing mode. I'm glad that in MK9 they referenced this game to give it more importance to the storyline and more sympathy towards Sub-Zero

[@persona83]

Yes, MK SF had scathing reviews, but it's a lot different from mythologies. I think they could have made more "mythologies" expanding the rich MK canon until that point. And following the "eastern" atmosphere. And I dunno about Jax being that popular to the point of have it's own adventure.

[@michaeltucker7374]

persona83 yea they could have picked a more popular character then jax, hell they should have did scorpion mythology, or even kung lao.. But jax? in the words of avgn; what the fuck were they thinking!!!!

[@michaeltucker7374]

wifey mcbeaty this game wasn't bad, easily 3 out of 5

[@persona83]

A Kung Lao mythologies would have been awesome!

[@baruser2575]

I'd say this game is underrated. It managed to mix fighting and platforming just fine. The music definitely suits the atmosphere of the game. The controls at least for me were good. (then again, I played it on my laptop). The story is great, definitely the strongest point of the game.

I like how in the end Shang Tsung is played by Richard Divizio. This means that throughout the series he played Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Kano and Baraka. Basically most of the iconic villains in the series.

[@livingartifact2749]

That's what NetherRealms Studios should consider in addition to a sequel that gets further in depth with Noob Saibot himself.

[@AlexOjideagu2]

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks is basically a good version of this

[@Jacksmusicshack]

Yeah why don't someone contact The creators and do it!!!! or do an online petition?

[@ZhaoYun320]

They need to remake this game. At least to the point where Bi Han gets the map and it leads to where he becomes Noob Saibot

[@joeytrevino7809]

I had this game! I love the animation they used and the real life actors.

[@allbn]

i loved this game. brings back some good memories, best time of my life. thanks for posting this.

[@FoieGras]

I find it hard to believe that Sub-Zero beats Scorpion (twice including undead), the elemental gods, and friggin Shinnok in Shinnok's realm in this and then manages to get himself killed by undead Scorpion later. He must've had one helluva bad day that day or MK needs to be more consistent as to who is stronger than who.

[@KalvinEllis]

Well that was the irony. The older Sub-Zero was strong but in the end he didn't choose a different path and that's why he got killed and became a servant of Shinnok. The younger Sub-Zero is probably not stronger, but he is definitely smarter.

[@Entropy3ko]

FoieGras Well both sub-zeros are among the strongest characters. The elemental gods are strong, but not as strong as Raiden is, for example.. Scorpion: in human mortal form he might have been weaker than in Spectre form (just like Sub-Zero becomes more powerful when he becomes Noob Saibot) In Spectre form here Scorpion might still be relatively weak, being just killed and resurrected not too long ago. Probably Scorpion's powers grew by the time he joined the tournament and was able to defeat Sub-Zero. Quan Chi: canonically Sareena helps Sub-Zero to defeat him, so he's not alone in the fight. Shinnok: one might argue that Shinnok is still weak. He just escaped his imprisonment and he wears a fake amulet (Quan Chi kept the original for himself) and moreover Shinnok just overthrew Lucifer from the throne of the NetherRealm, hence Shinnok might still be weak from that battle as well when he faces Sub-Zero. --- In any case consistency in MK and many other fighting games is tenous at best... In principle Raiden should ne much more powerful than most other characters, since he's a god... and Shinnok should be the strongest of all, since he is an Elder God.

[@vhvelazquez7187]

Awesome observations.

[@basilofgoodwishes4138]

Problem is that Shinnok is a fallen elder God, thus he lost most of his power. Raiden is strong, but he has to limit his powers in order to go to the mortal world, not to mention that Shang tsung and Quan chi´s magic matches the strenght of raiden.

[@enexe6229]

that's because ed baboon sucks at making good stories unlike john tobias. also in the og timeline scorion ambushed bi han between mk1 and mk2 because he knew that he would never defeat him in a fair fight.

[@ALPHA90152]

Looks like this game brilliantly told some of Bi-Han's backstory. (As in Bi-Han, I meant the original Sub-Zero. Not the 2nd one, Kuai Liang.)

[@marcuswalker3409]

So wait, there are two Sub-Zeros? What's next, Scorpion having another brother who also happens to be Scorpion?

[@ALPHA90152]

+Marcus Walker Yes. I guess you haven't played the first 2 Mortal Kombat games, nor the reboot.

[@johndeering2798]

A perfect sequel would be Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Noob Saibot. What happened to Sub-Zero after he became Noob Saibot.

[@amalad27]

I really want new Mortal Kombat the action-adventure of the fighting game I've waited long years. Can you send a message to Ed Boon to make new Mortal Kombat the action-adventure of the fighting game?.

[@ricardocavalcante54]

Amazing gameplay, Mythologies is some most challenge games

[@johndeering2798]

About 7 years after this game they decided that Sub-Zero, after surviving this entire game, went to Mortal Kombat 1, only to be killed by Scorpion. He dies, goes to Hell (the Nether Realm), and becomes Noob Saibot before MK2/Shaolin Monks. So he remains Noob Saibot throughout Ultimate MK3, and MK4, and MK: Deadly Alliance, Deception, and Armageddon. In the remake, MK9, the same story plays out the same way again.

[@The_Storm_That_Is_Approaching]

I just love how Shang Tsung casually comes in right after Sub Zero just got done dealing with one sorcerer.

[@aodhablackheart]

I don't know why people came down so hard on this really, even before the days of people just adopting the opinions of their favourite atention seeking KZbin nonentities. It's actually pretty good, and laid the groundwork for the excellent Shaolin Monks. It's certainly a lot better than Special Forces, that deserves the vitriol more.

[@pointman824]

I think they should remake and remaster this game. I'm so interested in playing it, and I never got to play it. And whenever they make an Mk11 (or MkXI), I hope they bring back Noob Saibot as a playable character again. They should also bring back the Original Sub-Zero with his Mk9 costume (with some newer details), and his ice ball shout in Mk9 along with his classic stance in Mk1 and classic moves derived from this game, such as his combos, and his icy counter etc albeit a lot realer and well balanced of course. It'll be pretty neat as a mixture in my opinion.

Я наверное один, который любит эту игру без остатка. В ней прекрасно все. А так ругаемое всеми управление на самом деле очень лёгкое, просто нужны все кнопки джойстика и ловкость пальцев. Максимальная сложность на самом деле очень лёгкая. Дизайн шикарный, музыка шикарная, история - топ, персонажи супер, графика великолепная и смешение 3D и 2D оцифрованных героев очень удачное. Играть интересно, а видео заставки выполненные в кинематографичном стиле просто подарок для любого фаната МК. Я поражаюсь, что со временем игроки не приняли игру, это говорит о том, что истинных фанов настоящего МК очень мало. Остальные графодрочеры или киберкотлеты.

PLOT HOLE: The Shirai Ryu were formed by a former Lin Kuei member. Therefore, it's only rational that Ninjutsu in the MK Universe is descended from Lin Kuei martial arts. Therefore, one could argue the Lin Kuei are technically ninja. Super Ninja to be exact.

[@franciscocataldo9238]

sorry to be soooo late xd but IRL, the ninjutsu DID descended from Linkuei (it did exist, chinese ninjas)

[@amerk6601]

Regarding the reason why people upload games like this, there's no reason why they shouldn't. Just because somebody thinks a game is shit doesn't mean it's less worthy of being played for others to view, especially if it concerns a game that is not readily available anymore. Moving on, now. I love how at 1:35 this appears like another MK fighting game, and then your opponent runs off while you chase after him.

What nobody wants to admit is that all MK games are good, even 4. It's just that sometimes they try something different and we need those to keep the franchise alive. MK4 is bashed because of the bad graphics but that was their first 3D game so cut em some slack. You have to look past the bad to the see the good. Oh my bad not ALL MK games are good *cough* MK vs. DCU * cough cough*

[@persona83]

As much as I'd like to agree with you, I must diverge in that MK4 is a crappy game because it IS a crappy game. The gameplay may be ok, but, as a long time MK fan (specially the 3rd one), I see so many bad decisions in this entry. And worst: a huge deviation from the MK canon. I'd not have any problem with the graphics (which I really don't like) if the game was a little more faithful to the MK universe and had a better story/chars.

[@SkullMahn]

persona83 yeah well technically this game's story never happens now because of MK9. Yay time manipulation!!

It would be awesome.
