MK1 Season 3 DLC wishlist

[Vulgar]

I know its a competative forum but realistically speaking, the balance, mechanics and the kameo system are like 1% of the reason the game is doing poorly commercially.

The singleplayer aspect of the game, the progression and the unlock system are awfull, the story mode and its narrative is awfull. These are the things casuals care about. Add on top of that disgusting levels of microtransactions in a full priced triple A game and you have massive negative appeal.


Nobody gives a fuck about unlocking a million trash ass pallets by playing the worst singleplayer mode ever created in invasions, nobody wants a teal and green scorpion with frosted hair, any skin that people actually want is premium store only and even those skins are done kinda half-assed, like they hired a 3d artist from temu or some shit lol, with some exceptions.

The shrine has been empty after season 2 only adding a few items every next one, current season reset and there is no new items, but you know what is getting new items? Yeah you guessed it the premium store.

The expansion that should have been a rejuvination of the game with blockbuster characters of noob saibot cyrax and sektor, is a total embarrassment, with the worst most usless piece of story and narrative in mk ever thats also massively overpriced.

Add on top of that the retarded gender swap of beloved fan favorite characters of cyrax and sektor and expansion goes from being one of the best on paper to total garbage. As much as some people refuse to believe it, gender swapping sektor and cyrax contributed alot to KR flopping bad, people dont give a fuck about identiy politics and its propaganda.

These are massive fuck ups that small improvments in gameplay and balance simply cant overcome, and its sad because the games in a decent place gameplay wise, ghostface is pretty fucking sick as a charcater gameplay wise, very technical. Theres a good foundation now and the kameo system is in a very decent spot also, more updates could make the game blossom into something really good.

Cyrax and Sektor are pretty niche characters. I don't think changing them is that big of a deal unless you're a more hard-core fan. I think that the people that get upset over gender swaps don't have real problems in their lives.

@Vulgar You can spin it any way you want but it doesnt have anything to do with an individuals personal problems or life in reality.

Its an entertainment product, if you do things that poison and worsen your product for the sake of pushing identity politcs and to lecturing someone, dont be suprised when people who just wanna game and are fans of the franchise push back against it.

It was an absolute pointless move that had no purpose, and resulted in a giganitc determinte to the game, all in the name of progressivness.

I heavily disagree, cyrax and sektor are one of the more beloved charcaters of the franchise, which is exactly why there was ton of backlash that we are not getting real cyrax and sektor.

So if I polled ten different people to name 10 MK characters, Sektor/Cyrax would barely come up.

MK1 didn't do any lecturing. Identity politics never came up in game. Which implies you think that a woman existing in what was previously essentially a sexless robot is somehow political. Which is quite telling.

And there's no spin. It's fake outrage. To spend your finite moments on earth getting angry about a video game character suggests a lack of anything substantial to be angry with in your real life.

You're angry about the genitals of fake characters.

I'm angry about poor working conditions and the exploitation of workers in the gaming industry.

We are not the same.

You're spending your finite moments on Earth arguing with somebody on a forum that you're not gonna change their mind about anything.

If you polled 10 random people maybe true, if you polled 10 mk fans not a chance.

People commenting,consuming and engaging in hobbies doesnt mean theres nothing else in their life, is that really the argument you went with? Lol

You can act as if political reasoning behinde these things doesnt exist, its nothing new for you, but it does and its very evident across multitude of games movies and other mediums.

If you care so much about working conditions of game dev workers, found a union and make things happen. Good luck.

I love hobbies. They're very healthy.

No, people seething in rage because a video game character doesn't have the genitals you want is fake outrage.

Why yes, I do think the gaming industry needs to unionize.

I wonder if big corporations have ever historically done things to hinder or "bust" unions and organized labor?

Gosh, I thought we were having a discussion. On a discussion forum.

 

[Ashesfall]

Many are angry* about what's going on in our world and many of them need an escape space.
Video games are perfect for it, falling into a fantasy you like to experience.
I have a clear identity and therefore I prefer my gender in video games, I want to feel that immersion.
Now a crazy freakshow minority with a clear agenda, crushes into my escape space and play with identity, bringing absolute chaos.

Killing the franchises for the agenda, be proud of it and deny it ... Khaos Reigns failing has nothing to do with playing with identity, makes you so delusional. Echo chamber bubble of censorship ...
(Kill the white toxic Johnny turn him into woke girl, show the hate even more and Kill him in Ghostface fatality every time, no agenda to see here ... all just coincident ... saying white life matters is "rassist" hahaha what? - wrath gonna hit hard ...)

*In my homeland invaders grouprape our minor women and our justice system gives them parole, like run free in our society. I want to ... all of them, without mercy!

You know as well as I do that you're not looking for any meaningful conversations.

I sincerely do not know what you mean. Didn't you see my status awhile back? We're in a New Era.

Ohh im sure they did, but imagine the change you can bring if you get involved. Imagine the working conditions game devs could have right now with you as the trailblazer, the changemaker they so desperatly need.

Im POSITIVE you can do it vulgar.

 

[Eddy Wang]

If this gets confirmed Crimsom Shadow is going to be the laughin stock.
Tom Brady and M2dave are going to make a podcast and dunk on him for an hour

He didn't even waited for M2dave

I don't work in the games industry, but I am a union member where I work.

But yes, the games industry should get a union, I agree.

I've been out of the loop. What happened between M2dave and Crimson Shadow?

 

[ImpostorOak]

@CrimsonShadow keeps ducking my challenge in the beef thread. Thats why everyone is mad at him. @M2Dave makes podcasts about me and people who duck me in the beef thread.

Don't feel out of the loop. People use a lot of coded language and it can be tough to really even know that's what they're talking about.

Thats actually amazing, good shit bro.

 

[Juxtapose]

By the way, has anyone just booted the game? A notification popped up that rewards you for referring the game to friends. There is little doubt that the leaker was right about the status of the sales.

Yeah, that notification is... very messed up.

 

[Law Hero]

Yeah, that notification is... very messed up.

What's messed up? Haven't booted the game up in a while.

 

[Kiss the Missile]

What's messed up? Haven't booted the game up in a while.

When you start the game up, it asks you to refer friends to buy the game. And if you do you get some skins and dragon Krystals. Actual mobile game shit

Yeah. Seeing stuff like that years into a game's life is one thing, but after just over a year is... not good.

Ideally a KP3 might've included some new characters. It's bizarre to me that we got no new MK characters in MK1. That's never happened before.

That is probably my favorite part of it.

For me it is the best roster ever.

To each their own. On paper I do agree that MK1 has a very good roster even if I really dislike most of the designs. I am however a fan of getting a few new characters per game though. I think that's a great thing. Keeps things fresh.

I think the rumored Floyd ninja would be dope. Pink ninja with dream powers sounds pretty much mortal kombat 101

I guess in this case, getting more post trilogy era characters can be the equivalent of getting new characters this time as there's now a generation of players whose first MK game was likely MK9. As a matter of fact, Boon himself even stated that they treated those characters as new during development as most of the current designers at NRS had to go back and play those games because they had never heard of Reiko, Ashrah, Li Mei, Havik and Nitara.
