The devastating downfall of the Mortal Kombat series.

[@slyandwise]

Guys, you cant be saying L video or im wrong without giving me evidence. GIVE ME EVIDENCE!

[@xodiac-gg7049]

There is no evidence. U literally cant defend mk11 or mk1 they are both dogshit with no redeeming qualities

[@MrWii000]

Honestly, I really liked the story of the NRS games...until the final act of MK1. Why? Because it ruined Shang Tsung's Aftermath ending. If you've played Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, then you'll noticed that the game had the option where you could decide who would ultimately rule the New Era: Fire God Liu Kang or Shang Tsung. In Liu Kang's ending, he defeats Shang Tsung and creates his New Era and peace and prosperity, leading to the events of MK1. In Shang Tsung's ending, he absorbs Fire God Liu Kang's soul, becomes a Titan, creates his New Era, and launches a conquest against all the realms; it then ends with Raiden and Fujin telling Titan Shang Tsung that Earthrealm, Outworld, and Netherrealm had been conquered, and that Chaosrealm and Orderrealm (which had hardly been explored since Deception by the way) were next. You get the picture? The ending hinted at the possibility of a "What if Shang Tsung won in 'Aftermath'?" kind of game where Chaosrealm and Orderrealm are the last line of resistance, and the only hope left in stopping Titan Shang Tsung's tyranny. And, in all honesty, that would've been the PERFECT game! (Just have Tecmo-Koei/Omega Force make the game in the style of Dynasty Warriors, create some brand new Chaosrealm/Orderrealm-originated Kombatants, have them fight with/against the Klassic Kombatants we know and love, and the game is complete.) But then, MK1 revealed that not only did BOTH Fire God Liu Kang and Titan Shang Tsung both create their own universes...but that Titan Shang Tsung is now eyeing to conquer Liu Kang's universe. Basically, if they weren't got going to continue Shang Tsung's Aftermath ending, then NRS should NOT have pretended that there WERE (OR, at the very least, they should've left Shang Tsung's Aftermath ending open to the imagination). This means that my "What if Shang Tsung won in 'Aftermath'?" dream game will never be made because we obviously know how it's going to end: Titan Shang Tsung conquers Chaosrealm and Orderrealm then sets his sights on Liu Kang's universe (and YES, by the way: I'm saying "universe", NOT "timeline"). Why couldn't Shang Tsung's Aftermath ending just end with Raiden and Fujin saying that ALL realms (including Chaosrealm and Orderrealm) were now under Titan Shang Tsung's control (annihilate all hope in Titan Shang Tsung being stopped). THEN the multiverse concept would've made a LITTLE bit more sense. Instead, Titan Shang Tsung's Aftermath ending led to NOTHING. And THAT felt like the BIGGEST missed opportunity in Mortal Kombat history to me (especially considering how little popularity Mortal Kombat has in Japan).

@MrWii000 i aint reading allat but i can tell its a "mk1 ruined something that was well made before"

[@MrWii000]

@@xodiac-gg7049 Long story short: MK11 Aftermath's ending felt like it was setting up for a "What if...?" follow-up game, but because of MK1, that game will never happen we all know how it's going to end...

[@Shadow.24-c8h]

Mk1 had a solid story until the multiverse part showed up and killed it. Mk1 sucks. It isn’t terrible but it’s boring, stupid, and absolute pain. Also the wait for mk1 dlc characters are pain on earth.

[@ryszakowy]

dang bro sounds like it ACTUALLY IS TERRIBLE

[@TheSBleeder]

I detest the Kameo system.

[@slyandwise]

100%

[@myjourney3229]

I think MK9 is my favorite of any game after UMK3.

[@spiridonrobert16]

True and mk10 was still fun and good

[@sonytoor542]

The issue I have with the game is the fact that they rebooted the game not once, but twice! After they had Khan win and Raiden reset the timeline, essentially rebooting the game, it was still alright because it sort of tied in to the original timeline. But, rebooting the game a 2nd time, essentially stating the past 30 years meant absolutely nothing and was pointless left a bad taste in my mouth.

[@slyandwise]

Agreed 👍

Glad you enjoyed it

[@LiquorGang-m6g]

I Totally Agree With You My Guy ..Mk 9, Mk X, & Mk 11 The Best Game Ever..Mk 1 Have To Many Kameo Fighter And All The Combos In The Air & To Many DC Characters In The Game This Why Mk 1 So Trash 🗑️💯👊

[@slyandwise]

At least they tried something

[@SebConte202]

cool vid, bud

[@AxionArcade]

I just bought MK11 Ultimate for $5.99 today 😅 Totally worth it!

[@slyandwise]

No way! Congrats

grass is green takes

[@slyandwise]

Bro is not the riddler

[@GristlyRook9605]

Yeah but mk1 is very fun why everyone gotta hate

[@xodiac-gg7049]

Clearly not. The game is cancelling all future plans

[@turtleanton6539]

​@@xodiac-gg7049well fun is fun. The got great guests but kameos is lame. Should just been tag. Also the story and konstant reeboting is boring😅😅😅😅😅 also woke

[@slyandwise]

Not hating just stating facts

[@GristlyRook9605]

@slyandwise tbh I didn’t watch the video but a ton of KZbinrs always talk about how mk1 is so bad but it’s the most fun I’ve had in a mk

[@GristlyRook9605]

@ that’s a rumor that was likely to be fake

[@davidpst]

Another trash clickbait video made by some random Mk hater 🗑️💩

[@slyandwise]

How is it clickbait when I said facts?

[@slyandwise]

You can't even stay anything good about this woke game with canceled future plans.

[@slyandwise]

And I'm not a mk hater don't try to be a smart guy. I literally said I liked mk 9 10 and 11

[@jaffajack101]

How so?

Literally proved all my points

[@ryszakowy]

mk9 was weird like i played it and finished but story choices are weird raiden getting a cryptic message and visions AND making everything worse by trying to do good is actually a good idea for story then mk x came out and it was so idiotic i was done with the franchise AND I WAS WITH THE FRANCHISE SINCE FIRST GAME x-rays were trash fatalities were trash fucking characters were trash few good things here and there DON'T make it good fanboys gotta be shitting themselves at this point but let's go further mk11 came out and IT WAS COMPLETE WASTE OF RESOURCES story turned from idiotic to moronic characters because complete idiots logic even fantasy logic was completely abandoned for the sake of 24/7 idiocy dumbfuck ending in dumbfuck last act where EVERYTHING gets erased and a dlc that retcons the ending to be even more stupid and make a bunch of retcons that NOBODY liked i was already done at mk x but seeing this shit? i knew netherrealm wasn't gonna come back from this they went woke and now they were gonna go broke AND HERE IT WAS first piece of advertisement for mk1 AND IT'S A KOMBAT PACK with the most shitty, overrated hero characters from the most shitty overrated hero shows i completely blocked anything that could even mention mortal kombat at this point AND THEN I FOUND OUT WHAT A SHITSHOW MK1 IS how anyone can claim that this shit is ANY good and dare to call themselves human beings is beyond wonder they are either paid to say that or are literal bots programmed to make positive comments about one of the worst games ever made

[@Spooke.jones123]

All of this is nonsense. The series is just fine 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@xodiac-gg7049]

Is that why mk1 is gonna cancel all future plans. And is that why mk11 didnt get past 2 years just like whats happening now? Face it mk hasnt been good since mkx

[@slyandwise]

Bro their canceling future stuff for the game. That how bad it's dlc is selling.

[@turtleanton6539]

They doing bad rite now😮😮😮

[@davidpst]

@@xodiac-gg7049 huh? what future plans? 🤡 MK11 got 2 packs like most of the mortal kombat games (including MK1). This is very normal and aligned with standard MK DLC support schedule. Also MK1 is huge improvement and way better game comparing to MK11 and MKX obviously.

[@keknov4962]

MK1’s future plans getting cancelled is a rumor and there’s also been rumors that KP3 might not even be getting cancelled, not to mention Conan and T-1000 still are yet to be released. MK11 got its support cut because of COVID, and MKX didn’t even get more than 2 KP’s lol so your point makes no sense. Zaslav also said WB is doubling down on 4 franchises, one of them being MK, so MK1 being cancelled wouldn’t even make sense anyway. Chances are, whoever was giving insider info got fed false information to get rid of fate and whoever else keeps leaking everything.
