You asked why I made the video, and the answer is quite simple. I was curious how the game was doing on console and started Googling. After finding the active players website, the information made me happy. Near the bottom of the page, it even says "Is Mortal Kombat 1 Dying? No, Far from it!" and that phrase is what inspired my title. I wanted to create a positive video for my audience to enjoy based on the information that I gathered that day from various sites. I enjoy playing Mortal Kombat 1 and my friends do as well. We want to see the game improve and grow; similar to how we felt with SFV. It doesn't really go any deeper than that. I worry my Tekken 8 video gave you a bad impression of me, but the truth is that I want all fighting games to succeed. I cover mostly MK stuff lately, but mainly because my audience has made it clear they prefer that content. Cheers and I hope your channel keeps doing well.
@RealMikeHollow6 ай бұрын
I hear that and I hope your channel keeps doing well as well. Obviously, you know my video is not a hate video and just an observation of the information presented so I do have to ask.. how comes you didn't show the full scope of the numbers or break down the actual fluctuations in the player retention? I get you wanna make a positive video for your audience and the people that come to your channel, but don't you think it'd be a better idea to represent the facts as accurately as possible?
@TrueUnderDawgGaming6 ай бұрын
@@RealMikeHollow Which fluctuations in particular? Do you mean how the game kept losing players each month? I suppose that part felt implied to me. The game had an absurdly bad desync bug when Quan Chi dropped, then when the desync was fixed we see a similar number of players come back. Or are you referring to something else?
@RealMikeHollow6 ай бұрын
From the get go, MK lost 400,000+ players in its first month and went on to lose roughly 1 million. You referenced the most recent spike in returning players which showed 160,000+ but the issue with that spike in players is that it is exactly the same as the players that left the game in January so the numbers can't be accurate. You only referenced the irregular spike that mirrored it's lack of retention from the previous month. I was wondering why that wasn't acknowledged in your video even though you put the stats on the screen.

You can make a more recent example with people jumping from MK 1 to MK 11 with the Suicide Squad game. A lot of people were unhappy with that game and the last game in the series, Arkham Knight, has garnered a big boost in players base. Despite some of the issues with Arkham Knight, people still chose to go back and play a game made almost 10 years ago, cause the current product was that bad.

Literally me. Arkham Knight is so much better than i remember. Im actually enjoying the batmobile combat and working on getting all the Riddler trophies. So much more fun than playing the same three missions in the endgame of Suicide Squad ad nauseam. I put a ton of hours into mortal kombat 1 and then one session it just hit me; i hate this game, why am i playing it. Same thing happened with suicide squad. I think WB Games in general have a huge problem when years old games are just more enticing than the current products.

I guess he's as loyal as a dog. Another thing I'd like to add, Trueunderdawg: Look at how many people are playing Mortal Kombat! It is very impressive. He's just a stupid simp at this point, it's absurd. SF6 may be on last gen, but the fact that the online is still amazing and that it runs at a stable 60 fps is a testament to how good that game is. Mk1 is not on last gen consoles because the engine is Unreal engine 5. From what I searched, Unreal Engine 5 is not ideal for last gen. I don't recall any UE5 games on last gen, unless you count the switch port of MK1, which is one of the ugliest things ever made. And to top it all off, Tekken 8, a game only on current gen hardware, and runs really well, sold 2 million copies within 3 weeks. Need I say more?

I just want to play crossplay lobbies with my friends and better/more defensive options.The Tag Team found in the files would be incredible when it's finished but it would completely obliterate the need for kameos going further. Second health bar More combos longer combos More usage. Let's see what they have going forward

MK has a historic reputation for poor character balance, which it reinforced with this title. I am reasonably certain that the introduction of a tag system-which all other mechanics must be designed around-will only further expose NRS’s amateur design philosophy.

There's no way you can be a modern day fighting game consumer and see that a major fighting game drop 400k players and see the prior game in the series get an uptick in players and conclude that MK1 is in a good spot. The lines of reasoning is so weird

He was either told to say it by nrs or is saying it for free stuff. Because that video was so out of touch it definitely reads like nrs told him to say it.

Mike, I told you this dude was a shill in your last video. However, I think we can call him the biggest shill at this point 😂

I watched that video and thought the point was to say that the (negative)perception of the game may be disproportionately amplified by Steam statistics, or a handful of KZbin content creators.

I remember when TUDG used to make guide videos for MK and so many other fighting games, now he just does clickbait stuff most of the time.

His channel has devolved into click bait and shit takes for views the past few years. Just ignore him, making vids about him is exactly what he wants.

The reason I can’t commit or stay loyal to mortal kombat is because they change the move set for every character and commands for every game. I loved sub zero in mk10 but hated him in mk11 cos they changed him so much. In contrast i am an avid loyalist for Kazuya in tekken.

Mk11 was a good game imo, I never understood the hate. I bought Mk1 right away but it is boring and I can't grind it. I played the shit out of Mk11 when it came out and years afterwards.

Why I think MK11 is a good game, it's the only MK game where neutral is played. All the other ones are so heavily swayed toward offense, it's insane. They're all busted as hell, I do not find that enjoyable. MKX and MK9 were enjoyable for the time they came out, looking back on them, they're not fun at all to play. The amount of 50/50s and truly fucked up situations are frequent. It removes any back and forth between both players. Defense is impossible in those games. MKX is just a slot machine with a run button, and MK9 has some of the most fucked up things ever put in a fighting game. I own both games, but they're not what I would call competitive games. They're versus style games, except 1v1.

I'm a casual and I loved MK11 and spent hundreds of hours on, even after its life cycle ended. MK1 has been a massive let down since day 1. The only thing that would bring me back at this point would be a massive content overhaul but that's not happening any time soon and even if it did I'm sure they'd charge for it.

Using Steam Charts for comparison, SF6 reaches a peak of ~20,000 players on a given day on Steam, but the peak for MK1 is just over 1,000 players at the time of writing this. What will make this worse is A) Ed drops soon, which will bring more people back into the game and B) one game has crossplay whereas the other does not.

The thing about sfv that cant make it comparable to mk11, sfv improved drastically and became a good game near the end of its lifespan. Mk11 never really truly improved.

The common speculation that NRS is paying TUG is unnecessary for explaining his behavior. Apart from an unhealthy loyalty to the franchise, TUG built his entire social media presence Mortal Kombat, whose fan base doesn’t have much crossover with other fighting games. TUG retains his very specific audience by amplifying hype around new developments and any drop offs in interest pose a substantial risk to his channel’s growth. He therefore has a vested interest in Mortal Kombat 1’s continued relevance.
@georgyushkevich84486 ай бұрын
The problem with "average daily players" is not that it is average) This metric indicates how many players have entered the game in 24h period. This is by far NOT the peak online and it can't be compared. The peak online would be roughly about 219251 / 24 = 9135. This is ofc still much better than on PC, but when UnderDawg put 219k of daily players with 26k peak online on the same screen - this was very misleading.

I’ll say this. The fact that mk1 did not launch with cross play is a travesty. Unthinkable in this day and age. I also have a different take on the copium. If gamers think a game is dead or dying they won’t even bother trying it or coming back to it. It ends up becoming a self fulfilling prophecy. I don’t necessarily mind people using this kind of tactic to save their favorite game. He really may be schilling. I dunno.

I agree with all your points, Street fighter though always has people who never move over though, all the games are so different. You have your religious 3rd strike player, hard core super turbo nerds when sf4. Atm everyone is on 6 but mark my words an SFV revival community will pop up

When sf5 came out a lot of players (myself included) kept playing sf4 for a while. This is the same situation.
