THE RESPONSE! - What Happened To Mortal Kombat 1?

[@GodRareCollectibles]

As a fan of the MK lore, I just miss the darkness and mystery behind each and every character. It used to get me so excited for the next MK game to get released just to find out a little more about each character. Now, I feel like we know way too much about each character and there's just no mysterious feeling about the characters anymore. I wish MK1 played like MKX with a touch of some MK9 infused with it. 🙂

It appears NRS really tried to bring us an awesome game. They may've gotten distracted by the cameo mechanics of their game, and it may've led to an oversight of what actually made MKX a great game for the MK player community. The MK community wants big, speedy combos, diversity in combos, awesome fatalities, brutalities and definitely, awesome stage fatalities. Cool, stylish skins are always nice to.

[@TimberWulfIsHere]

Nuh uh. Game dev is lazy.

[@grinsekatzedecheshire7754]

@@TimberWulfIsHere I agree it's NRS who should be blamed the most. It's their decision to make a game with a bad gameplay, they weren't told by WB to make slow, boring, repetitive game and it wasn't WB who told them to make Kameo system. Tekken 7 had almost no offline content shitty netcode yet it was loved because of its fun gameplay. NRS should understand that and stop with unnecessary experiments and give fans what they want and make a game based on MK9 or MKX. Personally I'd like to play a hybrid of MK9 and MKX. Basically if MK games core gameplay was good, player base would be big and that would make DLCs sell well in turn. But instead they focus on fatalities and cinematics which just attracts casuals that will finish tthe story mode and play the game for a few month and move on to the next AAA game.

[@D1smantle]

@@supersole007 The number of player base you see being psoted around for MK is that of steam/PC only not including the consoles. Sure SF and Tekken have more players than MK, but that's hardly the point

[@tmoney360]

For me it's simple. I don't want to grind 10,000 fights to have 1/4 of the content unlocked. I don't have time anymore. I'm not an online player. I just like to occasionally play a few rounds, climb a tower or two or play with my friends and family when they come over. In previous titles I felt like if I focused a lot of time early on the game I could have most, if not all, of the content unlocked and I could jump back in when the urge hit me and have fun for a bit. Now I have to grind to get a purple knee brace after spending who knows how long in invasions trying to officially unlock the input for a character's second fatality and brutality. I've had the game since launch and grew so tired of grinding I still don't officially have the second fatality input unlocked for half the roster. Since MK1 came out I've started Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time and completed 4 full playthroughs. The last time I touched MK1 was the day Quan Chi came out and nothing since. Grind is not fun.

[@SubjectDredd]

I’m not a fan of the kameo system, it’s annoying to see every character use the same few kameos because to use anything else gives you a huge disadvantage. Also there’s not enough variety with kameos like sareena’s blades vs. khameleon’s blades, basically the same crap.

[@abutteofpeanuts]

khameleon is kinda like a mix between sonya(mileena sai throw), Sareena(glaive), Sub-zero(purple stuff)(idk who to compare the rest of her kit to) but i like her bc she forces you to use her entire kit, whereas most of the time when ppl use a kameo they just use one move when they have a lot more. Khameleon forces you to use her entire kit and i just hope they use that route when they make future kameos.

You guys need to realize that MK9 and MKX gave fans much more fun gameplay compared to MK11 and MK1 and it's gameplay that made those game successful not content. NRS experiments with MK11 is the reason why MK is not doing well right now. It's NRS that should be blamed the most not WB

@@mikeyangelo_true, most of the problems aren't even with the gameplay. But just with issues and bugs(like the desync issue) and the lack of offline content, it is NRS fault for not fixing this issue but thats pretty much the only problems with the game( and some of the scaling) edit: and I don't think the kameos are problem, it makes mk1 unique and separates it from sf and tekken. But a simple fix for NRS is to make just a separate kasual mode where your not allowed to use kameos(not a ranked mode since pro competitions have to include kameos and having two ranked modes would just make things difficult when it came to big tournaments like evo) (the other problems with the gameplay are basically already in the vid)

[@mechanicaladvantage6]

Invasions basically killed the game for me. I spent way too much time doing the same stupid fights vs the same stupid characters. It was a slog and the rewards simply weren't worth it. Color pallette swaps for the same two skins as your main reward was a horrible decision. They should have locked 4-6 characters behind invasions, plus added Quan Chi and Ermac as part of the main roster. I spent $120 for the premium edition and I felt ripped off. I'll never pre-order an MK game again.

[@pouletsept5099]

I agree with Luke on this. My problem with watching people play MK1 is that every character plays almost the same. Every match just feels like "poke poke launch combo, juggle repeat". At least in mk11 people could change out their moves so every 3rd or so much you would run into the same character that played a different way. Isuper you are an amazing talent when it comes to fighting games, but even I haven't been watching you lately because every match I see you play against other folks just feels the same. When every match coming from you or your opponent turns into the same combos why should I be interested? I love mortal Kombat but with the way MK1 looks and the mechanics I think I'm sadly may sit this one out this time. Its sad cause ive been playing competitively since MK9 and as it sits now, i just can't see myself spending the money to pick up MK1. Just feels like a waste.

[@mvalentino5650]

I feel the same way. This is the first time in probably 5 or 6 years that I haven’t watched a super video every day. A shame :/

[@Quick-Silver206]

Everyone does a 50% combo unless someone has breaker. That's the game.

[@PsyDuck89]

Most definitely a waste. Game was a huge let down

[@CologioFR]

I think the problem with kameos wis the fact that since there are some that clearly don't work with other characters and some are just plain bad that it causes the repetitiveness, if nrs actually makes all the kameos equal versatility like with khameleon or just buff them then we would 100% see more variety, like what super said there will always be the optimal in fighting games and there's no escaping that. With the offline modes there is no excuse, there are so many thing's they couldv'e done with it such as towers or test your might, test your luck, sight etc. but they chose to do the bare minimum. This could've been a great game and I'm just wondering why aren't they putting as much effort into this as mk11, my theory is WB with them being in so much debt made them be so greedy to rush this game but you can have others.

[@blairowens8912]

That's the thing though. They're trying to balance them already. There's always going to be something that's better to use over the other whether they get buffed or not. Imagine they lower the cooldown on goro who is already strong with a long cooldown. Everyone is just going to move to that fool. It's an issue with the implementation. Either go all out like marvel vs capcom or it should've never been in the game in the first place.

[@phillymaine8104]

Wouldn’t say it was rushed at all. Had 4 years to work on it. They just put their priorities in the wrong thing

[@felixonyango5409]

Variation system makes a lot of sense now.. One of the things they simply ignored after MK11 is that people went back to MKX due to how engaging and fun that game is to watch and/or play. I don't hate the cameo system but a different approach was needed. I feel they should have made the characters usable without cameos then you can use cameos for style points or mixing up opponents.

[@Moist_Beef]

kameos are fine and the gameplay is amazing they just need more offline content (towers, krypt, earnable skins) the micro transactions would be okay if they weren't so expensive they treat it like a free game with those prices. also cross play is a must in this type of game in this day and age.

[@LongLiveJade]

NRS is very good at introducing us to a mechanic that is amazing and then completely scrapping it in the next game. The customization system in injustice 2 got scrapped. The towers from mk11 got scrapped and the Krypt. So did the fast paced Mortal Kombat X playstyle. We need a franchise of mortal kombat gameplay to build off of so that things can improve. Mk1’s gameplay is a good start, but the game feels like it’s still in beta with all the missing features and content.

[@runbaa9285]

I feel like Street Fighter 6 did a nice balance between adding new things and incorporating old ones to make a brand new system. Making a new system does not always mean scrapping the old one altogether. For example in SF6, Drive Impact is basically Focus Attack from SF4, the Drive Parry derived from the parry in SF3, Drive Reversal derived from V-Reversals in SF5, and finally, V-Trigger attacks from SF5 have been incorporated into characters' core movelists. There's also Tekken, which has been building off the foundation Tekken 5 established and they kept adding from there. This actually reminds me of something Ryan Reynolds, of all people, have mentioned in an interview. Lack of money can actually often be the trigger for creativity. Excess of money often leads to indulgence. I feel like because NRS has the backing of WB, they scrap old concepts and start from scratch every franchise entry because they could afford to. And that's kind of the problem. Just because you could afford to do it doesn't mean you have to.

[@youraveragemachine1013]

Idk man the ij2 customization is a fucking nightmare,mk11 is a more polish version of it

[@TBContent24]

SF6 is by far the best of the last 3 (4, 5 and 6) where they did bring new stuff to play with but gave us multiple supers, parrys and combo cancel mechanics. It's not perfect but it's only a balance patch away from it really. Mortal Kombat really went backwards and the bones of the game are not fixable with just balance patches unfortunately@@runbaa9285

[@pian-0g445]

This kind of reminds me of sonic games by the sonic team. They change up the way his 3D gameplay works so much, they’re never really able to refine it. He’s the boost is constant, but the way it works also changes not based on feedback from the last game, but because of the gameplay change. What they did with Frontiers, they need to stick with it for a bit and make it perfect, like how 3D Mario basic movement is just refined with extra gimmicks added on like the hat or water. MK1 gameplay style and kameo shouldn’t change too heavily in the next entry. Anything that fixes or majorly improves it is fine, but a compelete overhaul kinda makes all the work from before useless.

[@Mr.Hassett]

The customization needs to go back to the way they handled it in MK11; closer to it, anyway. I wish there was at least one more gear piece type per character and more skins available per character (not the lame color pallets that don't fit the characters). Like you said, I wish they had more intro and outro options too. On top of all that, I wish you could actually save Loadouts and possibly name them too. I liked showing off the various outfits and stuff I had to my friends and family. I wouldn't even do invasions if it were t for the boss/Titan skins you get at the end and during Titan battles. That mode absolutely sucks

[@Enigmata23]

Something I realized about the game is that the Kameos are too important. So much so that not having them nerfs your character. Which means not buying Kameo DLCs puts you behind in the competition. For example, Nitara and Kham are a good combo. I dont have Kham, so my Nitara is still D tier. I HAVE to buy Kham to improve my chances of winning. I honestly think all Kameos should be free.

[@mountieman18]

On the topic of 12:20, I don't think the issue is necessarily the lack of BnB's, or the prevalence of pretty much 1 BnB per character, but more of an issue that the combos themselves are repetitive. You can have a 20+ hit combo, with 12 different moves in it, but you'll have the same 4 moves and maybe 1 assist on a loop. In Super's previous video "What Happened To Mortal Kombat 1???", go to 15:03 (time stamped link below). That combo is b23-b23-33-bf3ex-33-bf3ex-33-bf3. A combo with 8 moves in it, but it's just the same 3 unique moves on loop. So many characters follow that pattern for their combos. So it's not just the same combo's being used on loop, it's also that the combos are just the same moves on loop. I certainly don't find it fun to play, I don't find it fun to play against, and I definitely don't find it fun to watch. a-b-a-b... combos are just boring.

As a MK fan, I think that NRS was not prepared to release a kameo system.

They spent so much time on kameos that usable characters have less content, less skins, less intros and outros, less brutalities, even less combo variations, every characters plays the same by everyone.

[@patccmoiwoodchuck8000]

Personally I hate that this isn't how it works. I understand why they don't cause of like seasonal rewards for ladder, so people wouldn't want to split between many characters to be able to reach like god or elder god or whatever. But playing SF6 I LOVED that it was character specific so I could play my good character on ranked when I wanted and others I didn't really master or care about just for fun also on ranked trying to improve with them. But now I can only do that in casual, but the competition level is so different on casual that it's not great (like Reptile I will win 75-80% on casual, and like 20% on ranked)

[@jackzayas8186]

Biggest problem: No 3rd line of dialog in the intros. I don't like that balance is tied to kameos. Wanting to play as your favorite kameo and base roster fighter isn't always a good pairing. That's frustrating. I hate scorpion, but I feel like I need him to patch holes in reptiles gameplay. The characters on the base roster feel incomplete. They should assist, not overshadow my character. With every character and dlc character being drip fed to us, slows down the learning process and makes joining later in the games life cycle more difficult. From the casual perspective, I want to lab one character and then look at a video if i can't find optimals. Now, I need optimals with each specific kameo that changes my gameplay. Every kameo added is another lab session I have to do with my own mains, and then having to lab specific matchups for each character with different kameos isn't fun. I don't want to play until the final patch for that reason. I feel that the casual player would have to put in too much effort for not enough reward to understand the game in full. Now I'll have to play Ermac with even more kameos to see what I like. I can't just pick ermac and throw on most kameos and hop into games. Kameos are mostly 1 trick ponies.let me use their full kit and have it be useful Lao hat, Striker nades are best examples. This game is the fastest ive been in character crisis mode because the whole roster is boring or uninspired. The leveling up is so slow. I want XP for playing against my friends, even if its reduced to prevent farming, just something. Thats why I have it. Not to play randoms but to fight my friends. Invasions is not fun at all. Too long of a grind for little reward. So many unnecessary steps. I don't want to find keys or try paths, just make it a tower. Or one realm. Its too long for how slow it is.

As much variety that Kamoes provide, the online warriors stick to the same meta and that's alright but it's so boring to play the same Smoke+Sareena type character combos that just has me rolling my eyes everytime I hop on a set. And of course that 1/3 chance of dysnc is the cherry on top of this dookie pie.

Yeah i knew something was wrong when MK1 / NRS never showed us any customization options for the game before it released, but no one never payed me any attention when I would mention this in KZbinrs post about MK1. It just always felt strange, off, & incomplete wayback before it was even released. Plus it's not that much different from MK11, but its like a low budget MK11 game. MK11 was much better overall. I personally haven't bought MK1 yet, im waiting for TEKKEN8 to release.

[@RidinTheCouch]

I’ve put in days of game time in, really loving the core gameplay but what’s turned me away to go learn to play street fighter is the kameo system. I really can’t mentally handle how annoying a kameo meter recharges so quickly to make everyone’s moves safe or unblockable.

[@FnegThomin]

A big thing that hurt my interest was the item shop. It feels like we traded the krypt, towers of time AND all the additional customization mk11 had for the fortnite item shop that is in a game people paid 70+ dollars for. I paid over 110$ for it personally and while I don't regret it, because I have had fun, the game in general doesn't sit right with me. I've found myself going back to mk11

[@craigcampos]

The crystals that you can have the dragon turn into additions or customization is the worse. They constantly give you stuff for characters you never play. They should see what characters you use the most and center all the adds for those characters. That would help. Mk11 also had more moves meaning you could play variations of each character. To me that would help also. But the game is still amazing in its graphics and feel. I do get really upset at the dropped inputs. I think have broken 3 controllers because I try a move 3 times and I get another move to lose a game is beyond frustrating

[@connerkenway8464]

I agree with everything said. What really kills the game are the gimmicks that cameos bring. It’s so boring because everyone is forced to do the same thing. Do an unsafe move, use a cameo to make it safe or steal back your turn (Stryker grenade, Lao hat, cyrax, sektor) it used to be if someone did something unsafe you’d blow them up for it. That’s not the case anymore. Additionally, the 50/50 gimmicks are ridiculous.

The Kameo system was a good idea....If it were injustice 3 in my opinion. Would make sense to have that for a superhero game instead of a MK game. My guess is MK1 is a testing ground for injustice 3 (if coming into existence) and MK1 just happened to be in development or something at the time to be that lab rat. Kameos to me kind of throws the fighting off really but if it were Batman and Robin fighting Joker and Harley then I would be 100% on board with it. But MK1 didnt deserve/need this kameo system honestly or any MK game unless it was in like a tower or their invasion system or something.

It's not a testing ground for Injustice 3, it was supposed to be Injustice 3. And with how MK1's received I'm actually expecting Injustice 3, whenever that gets made, to be quite different.

[@MSupreme7]

[@wesley.zago120]

i will express a very unpopular opinion about mkx and the most recent mk games specifically mk11 that i have and something that always made get A LOT more excited in mk11 videos than mkx videos, which is how true to life the combat is. and by that i mean mk11 always gave me the feeling the devs put a lot of work in searching for real life fighting styles, which made the game feel so much more realistic. whenever i watched mkx video, specifically from some characters like kung jin would often look goofy as hell (i still remember a kung jin armor move i think, that he would launch himself into the air then fall and kinda sit into the ground, i can't explain how the move worked exactly because it happens really fast, but i remember that move looking anything but cool). just see hiw many gamelogy video there is of them replicating mk11 moves in real life and you will get what i mean. and they kept that in mk1, but everyone plays the characters EXACTLY the same, there's absolutely no creativity in my opinion a part from kameo combinations. that gets boring sooooo fast, even in mk11 which a lof of people say has pretty much no space for creativity you would see people experimenting more with the characters, i still remember the day i saw you playing against a erron black that used a combo string with the pistol that i NEVER saw before that video, and this was years after the launch of mk11.

[@Lara.amn79]

Idk u think mk11 also had many wierd specials that seems out of place or not for the character

[@SlCKNESS_]

One thing people need to talk more about is the speed of strings. It's the major reason why the game doesn't feel as good to play or to watch as previous titles. Super was right on the money, they did slow down string speed quite a bit and that's a major issue. I recently went back to Injustice 2 and I couldn't believe how much better the combat and just doing combos in general felt, because of how much faster moves were. And this is Injustice 2 we're talking about here, the primarily zoning fighting game. Also, I'm in the minority of people who like the idea of assists, however the way NRS went about it is pretty much the worst way you can do this sort of a game: 1. Character kits are gimped, because of kameos "complimenting" them. 2. A lot of kameos are same-y (and/or worse versions of other mediocre kameos). 3. A lot of kameos are borderline useless. Some people keep saying "give it a year and it's gonna be a great game", but MK1 has a fundamental design flaw in how it was made, no amount of extra characters or kameos is gonna fix that. You just might end up playing the one "fun" DLC kameo and character combination that gets released and allows you to go crazy, unlike the rest of the game. Guess, what? Everybody else is gonna be playing the same thing, just like now. P.S: I'm not saying the game is unfixable. I'm just saying it would require some fundamental design changes, not extra characters.

[@BigGoober0128]

I see this game going almost the exact same route as SF5. It’ll slowly get better as time progresses. Does it suck that it didn’t release better? Yeah, but I still have confidence in NRS.

[@BadMouseRM]

Invasion is far to be at the level of MK11 Krypt, I think what could have been excellent is a Arcade/3D era universe mesas with the ability of move wherever you want, plus secrets, traps and a map! To know where you are. That could have been an amazing MK Universe experience.

[@Pshady23]

Super, i think it's a majority consensus that Khameleon is one of the best kameos in the game in terms of just making the game fun. Its what kameos should have been. Do you have any cool ideas on how nrs could rework the other kameos to be just as fun? Im talking about specific moves, abilities, etc. Would love to hear your ideas.

i like the kameos what i dont like is characters took a hit in there utility because of them. i know that in ever fighting game only a few strings will ever be used, but when you play a character like milleena who can really only use her 1-2 and her forward 2-4-2 it makes me decide if i want to do combos or have a kameo like striker that can keep my turn after a string. if you take johnny cage or sindel and compare them to some characters you can see how they have more options for staggers or pressure.

[@CLO_Rage]

Honestly the only way to make this work is make it like KOF with your kameo is it’s own playable character and still and assist but also their own health bar and allow swapping…DBFIGHTERZ is the only fighting game rn holding up SF6 has their own issues that I’ll make a video for

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 was so much fun. I’m glad it got on the EVO main stage even after 10 years.

[@blackseed68]

It's difficult for me. Mk11 had more customization options. You could create character variations. Weapons, armor, moves, even goofy names. Now, the cosmetics are bare bones. And because of kameo assists, they've had to nerf long combos by making them shorter. I love the re introduction of air combat, but I miss the satisfying x-ray crunches of krushing blows. Fighter intros could be customized and kombatants would always have interesting dialog. Intros are now removed from towers. They even got rid of environment interactions. They gave us good stuff in Mk1 but took away a lot of things I enjoyed about mk11. I'm not a competitive player. I rarely stepped online. But I still managed to clock plenty of hours with 95% of the roster in the last game. This time around, I'm just not as motivated.

[@gvzi]

I also agree with 12:16 because there really is no versatility in this game compared to older MK’s

[@Mr.Hassett]

I like the Kameo system but I think they should at least add a "no Kameo mode" even if it would feel a bit limited. The problem I have with the kameos is the amount of Kameo characters. It might sound silly but I don't like mixing characters and kameos that don't make sense within the lore of MK. For example, we don't have many characters that pair well with Kano within the lore other than someone like Shang Tsung being somewhat aligned as a villain. When Mavado comes out, he doesn't have any allies to pair him with that make sense within the lore. Again, I know it's sort of silly but those kind of things just big me as a lore nerd.

[@pamelus6479]

I’m not worry about MK1 they still on their early stage. Things will get better guys. Ed Boon won’t let us down. One of the reason ppl are not registering for MK1 completion is because of the price money that is lower then anyone else that’s it.

[@sircaptainMO]

From a player who has really no history of playing fighting games I decided to give this game a try. I REALLY enjoyed my initial experience with this game finishing the story and jumping into a few casual and ranked games. The game looks amazing and it’s hard not to find at least a couple of characters to fall in love with (shout out scorpion). Then I started playing strictly online. For the love of god do something about Johnny and the cameos. People brainlessly mash buttons with Cage and with the amount of times you see him online, it personally completely ruined my experience. The cameos are a cool idea but they were poorly implemented. If you don’t use the “meta” you are at a big disadvantage which I think takes away the creativity that the system had to offer. I haven’t given up hope for the game but I wish it felt more like a 1v1 fighting game, not 2v2.

I still love playing MK1 despite the issues & flaws.. Simple fact is i just really enjoy facing other players online & trading kombos with the appropriate GGs at the end.

I think what really hurt the game was it being rushed and the changes that came with it. If THE RUMORS are true then this game was supposed to be Injustice 3.

[@90sGasPrices]

MK1s problem is that the game just doesn’t t feel good to play. Animations look and feel super stiff. Characters just don’t feel like they move well at all. Watching characters jump in mk is like when you’re trying to lift a nightstand without having anything fall off the top. Why don’t they make characters flip anymore? Things like this make the game feel unresponsive and sluggish. Recovery is also absolutely disgusting. Whether we’re talking about recovery on block or hit, everything takes WAY TOO LONG. There are so many other things I could say, but none of it matters. MK will likely never change because it sells well regardless. Casual players buy the game because they want to fatalities and beat a tower with the same 3 button combos. This is why the game could outsell SF6 and T8 combined and not have a quarter of the high level player interest that either of those games have. That’s why it’s continually the lowest of the 3 watched games at evo. Fighting games are a multi year commitment for serious players, but netherrealm is fine with making a game that 10 million players will play for 4 hours total before forgetting it’s installed.

[@binho2224]

Yeah! Did you see the difference in tournaments prizes? Mk is paying 30,000 to 1st place. Sf6 is paying 1,000,000. There is no comparison. Why should pros invest in a game that does not care about them. So sad.

[@hanzohasashi2522]

Bout time someone else noticed this.

[@SlCKNESS_]

Just duck them and then uppercut, they don't really eat your uppercut. They will eat your D1, though. D1s are specifically designed to go under all highs, except throws. Or better yet just duck the throw and launch them for a full combo. If your buttons are getting beat by a throw you either don't know how the moves and/or throws work or you're just pressing the wrong buttons at the wrong time. It's definitely not an issue with throws themselves.

[@juanrodriguezl4252]

Casual gamers only focus on the big 3 MK, SF and Tekken, but the fighting game genre is rising, DNF, Guilty Gear, Samurai Shodown, King of Fighters, Grant Blue fantasy, Blaze Blue, Skulls Girls, the power ranger battle for the grid, and some indies fighting are pretty good. My point is that us as consumers we options, MK1 the story wasn't original, is a reboot like MK9, Invasions is a waste of time, the kameos for the casual players most of them won't figure the combinations, no stage fatalities, no mercy, everything is lacking and to put the cherry on top they already had in the works an expansion to the story, money grab.

I think the biggest problem with MK1 is if a person makes one minor miscalculation, the opponent can pull off a combo that lasts several seconds and can eat up 30 - 40 percent of your health. And if the opponent’s health is low enough, they can end the combo with a fatal blow on top of it all, ending the match.

Some Kameos (Khameleon, Sareena, Darrius, and maybe Triborg) could have been main roster with some tweaks. I would have had Mr. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa reprised his role as Titan Shang Tsung and made the final boss battle in arcade have that same epic feel as in MK11. All them custom pyramid fighters would have made great secret fights. Long grind to character mastery kills my interest too. There’s Kameos in story mode only that they could improve to be added and dare I say; they could mix up the Kameo design by offer not only one kameo character but 2 person Kameo like Deadly Alliance or Jax and Sonya as Special Forces for 3v2 or 3v3. *Sigh* Inside this “Gimme me MONEY!” experiment is THE GAME I LOVE but not right now. Sooo many missteps and missed opportunities AND STILL could have charged for content if there was a large amount of content to tackle shakes head. Good vid
