Why we love Mortal Kombat X

[Mitsuownes]

Hey all,

I have to admit that I see a lot of complaining in here. "This is broken", "Buff/nerf X" , "50/50 game only" and what not. It's so much until the point I ask myself "Why do these people even bother playing?"

I love MKX and I would like to see others express there passion aswell. Shouldn't be this the one thing that connects as kombatants?

Feel free to express why you love MKX, short or long, your choice!

I love MKX because the roughness in the game. I get the feeling that every fight is a battle between life and death. The setting is perfect, the graphic, background music, style of the characters. No other Beat 'em Up can give me that feeling.

It makes me focus, makes my heart beat faster, makes me sweat.

ARISE!

I like it because it feels visceral. We get to beat the crap out of each other and no one really gets hurt.

Characters finally have some personality! Also, music is so awesome. Subtle but so hype. Matches are fast paced. Zoners can R.I.P. Mil's a bae. I love this game.

I love MKX because online play is so fun. I love the one second input delay that makes it feel like I'm playing underwater and the constant loading screens. Its great!!

The problem is, it's because of the constant moaning, nerf this, blah, blah shit by idiotic people is what's ruining the game. Plus the hostile attitude you see in these boards is a laughing stock in reality when you sum it all up. You just don't see this on other FG's.

I love the game and think it's excellent, yet lately I'm finding myself having no drive to play it. I tend to enjoy watching it more on streams or pre-recorded tournaments lately.

Because this game is loads of fun and is 100 times more balanced than Mk9 and Injustice was at their time. Outside of a few niggles this game is close to perfect.

Also my online experience has been fine.

Nah for real I love MK, always have, always will.
Kung Lao is sick.

 

[Enexemander]

Part of it for me is pure nostalgia. I grew up with MK (even if I didn't play every version that came out.) I love the characters, the silly story, and the over the top violence.

I also think they did a good job with MKX in making every character appealing. The fighting system itself is pretty interesting to me. I skipped Injustice so a lot of it is new to me. I've also been pleasantly surprised by how viable each character is in the game.

Studying up on the tech and practicing execution keeps me interested, while watching streamers and tournaments keeps the fire alive.

 

[TackyHaddock]

I love how focused I feel when playing. During a match, nothing else exists other than this fight.

 

[HuttonMD]

I love mkx because its helped me step up my neutral game a lot. It does have a lot of 50-50 that lead to big damage so I wanna avoid those as much as possible so its forced me to take my time and pick when to come in or punish

Forgot one of the post important points:

Spoiler: Story

Scorpion finally gets his revenge. I literally stood up at that moment.

Have you been to any Street fighter forum or r/Kappa? Those fuckers have zero respect for anyone and will constantly bitch about everything.

The sound effects and 'feel' of the game are what I like. It's just.. Meaty.

I have a ton of gripes, but mkx introduced me to fighting games and for that reason alone it will hold a place in my heart.

In all honesty, I don't really play any more, but I am watching the game, keeping up with tournament footage and hoping as the game fleshes out and various adjustments are made, I will see some of the things that pushed me out get changed. Then I will happily return, pick up and learn Kano and polish my Cassie.

Characters are awesome and original, well that is, the OG ones and some of the new ones. Visuals and sound is really cool too, and the variation system really brings out more variety (when/if used or explored). I mean there are a lot of stupid things in this game like crappy netcode, throw immune stuff, wonky hitbox issues, glitchy interactables, overwhelming plethora of safe 50/50's and combo starters, but DEEP DEEP under that it's just plain fun. That's probably why I stick to it anyway, it's fun factor is really high.

 

[EntropicByDesign]

This is something I forgot to add..

But the execution wall is considerably lower in mkx and I appreciate that greeat deal. I feel like execution should have its place, but the requirements of games like sf4 and such are frustrating to me. I know what needs to be done, I read my opponent, my setup worked to perfection, whatever, I played right, now it's time to capitalize..

Nope, I dropped the second one frame link in the same damn combo.

All the characters have personality and story mode just adds to that, unlike something like say soul caliber where everyone wants to win because they get a fancy sword, mk characters all have their own motivations. Plus unique abilities like controlling elements, bugs, martial arts weapons or just being big and hitting people hard. everyone has kind of their own style of play.

 

[Immortal]

You all missed the most important reason.

We all love MK coz of GODLIKE netcode.

 

[Andromeda]

It's fun.

Nuff' said.

 

[rafaw]

Bc of the gore, music, caracters, i love it since MK1, but this doesnt mean that theres a lot of bullshit in the gameplay... bc theres a lot

 

[STB Sgt Reed]

Because it's Mortal Kombat.

No other fighting game has the amazing lore that MK does.

I literally don't play any other fighting games b/c I don't give two shits about their characters. But the characters in MK, draw me in.

Well done.
