The new trailer for MK1 drops after I post this 😅I can't lie it looks cool so I'm hoping for a comeback for this game

[@starshottai2519]

Nah bruh.. stand on business. Stand on your word!!

[@Just_Kn1ght]

@@starshottai2519 don’t get me wrong it’s still trash 😂 just after seeing the new trailer I have hope it’s gonna get better

[@Angie2343]

Pros: *Nitara and Vaeternus are back! *Ashrah's "Your 'Hollyeood' is rife with evil." line to Johnny Cage and him AGREEING with her *King Jerrod is back! *Megan Fox as Nitara is amazing! Unlike many, I really appreciate the effort she put into her performance and I want to interview her. Cons: *Mileena and TANYA?! Seriously?! *Shao is NOT a general, he is a kahn! *Baraka is no longer a Tarkatan by birth, but is afflicted by a stupid disease. WTH?

mk1 is not at is best but I don't think it failed

[@Jerms-sq9nd]

Me too

[@Xfacta12482]

That wouldnt get the rage-bait views though.

[@christianhenry4173]

It failed in some cases.

[@Tuturial464]

Kameos and stupid story development for characters

[@martinezbiz]

Mk1 was a downgrade from mk11 but more expensive and broken 😂 invasions is HORRIBLE they probably didnt keep going with krypt because they were too lazy to make it better

[@OscarAntonio-t4z]

Injustice 2 has the best cosmetics in any superhero game, and I'm tired of pretending otherwise

[@iambane7845]

Alot of the plastic looking armor made characters look fat, and the absurd amount of lights was stupid.

It has its flaws, but it definitely didn’t fail

[@Just_Kn1ght]

Comparing to past MKs I see it as a failure but It's still fun regardless

[@christhianborrero3623]

​@@Just_Kn1ghtyour going to have that opinion just because of a online problem ? Lol din't fail just the online is lame.

[@tundrauzumaki]

This game failed in every way and is trash in comparison to the past mk games and the other fighting games as well

[@retrospect35]

this game without kameos would have been insane

[@Just_Kn1ght]

@@retrospect35 I’m hoping they add a game mode where you can fight without them

[@CabreraAparicio-xm1gs]

Older games had Motor Kombat, Chess and their own spin on Tetris. MK VS. DC can rest easy because we've hit the lowest point of MK EVER.

[@Jerms-sq9nd]

Yeah and mk 1 is a good game

[@cosmiccentral1651]

I actually really liked MK vs DC lol Ik the thing people hated the most was the T rating but story wasn't half bad.

[@christhianborrero3623]

Din't failed because it have good story and develop characters that was not used in past games. It failed in the online mode other than good game.

[@Xfacta12482]

As a casual fighting fan coming back to MK1 for the DLC pack... yall Mortal Kombat people are the most exhausting gaming community I have seen in a while. I play OW too, so thats saying something.

[@Just_Kn1ght]

Elaborate

[@ivanshopov9559]

IT FAILED BC OF GENDER SWAPS 💀 🙏

[@dylanstephenson5055]

I mean the gameplay is a-lot more fun and smoother than Mk11 in my opinion but yea everything besides the gameplay is pretty ass

[@Xfacta12482]

This comment is hysterical to me. "I love the gameplay but I need more extrinsic rewards like cosmetics". Modern games have broken ya'lls dopamine receptors and you dont even play games for the gameplay anymore.

[@Just_Kn1ght]

Combat is better than MK11 but I think MK combat peaked with MKX still really satisfying just a severe lack of content

[@DOGNUHTS.]

Complaining about earning skins through literally gameplay is a huge L take. “Through invasions or levelling up “ I feel like so many people complain about micro transactions then when a game actually makes you play to unlock said unlocks people complain..

[@Mexicandagger]

to be fair invasions is literally horrible and hot trash

[@Just_Kn1ght]

That wasn't my only gripe, I mean yeah micro transactions are BS but having not really any skins to earn on your own is kinda dumb most the skins you earn on your own are reskins, and locking story skins behind a paywall also doesn't seem fair. My main gripe is the lack of content

[@pavmx703]

@@Just_Kn1ght People will say anything no matter how dumb to try to justify the scummy practices of this game. They can cope all they want, the playercount tells the real story.

[@spooky882]

Its not dead or failed, it is 18 on most saled games ever and basically most sold fighting game eve. So if anyone tells that mk1 is dead and is failure, then they are extremely wrong. Also mk is just better than other fighting games

[@Just_Kn1ght]

It's still a decent fighting game, but compared to past installments and other fighting games I think it just can't compete

[@spooky882]

[@jeffpaez1997]

Compared to mk9 , mkx and mk11 it did horrible, never seen a nrs game so mixed with the community. This game has its pros as improved gameplay and fun story which is why theres ppl like you defending it and I understand but thats about it a lot ppl like me dropped it in a few months. It was clearly rushed, less options and replaybility than previous title an obvious reskin of injustice to mk and it has too many problems to be considered a good mk.
