Despite what they have said, I personally figured this was coming. I’ve learned to take what they say with a grain of salt. @Mikemetroid is right, the communication needs to improve drastically. There’s honestly no reason for the communication to be as awful as it is.

It IS weird that they’ve finally got the game going in a good direction competitively, have another Final Kombat coming presumably within the next year or so, and this is the last patch? Idk, I think it’s possible to see another balance patch (or maybe even patches) in the future. IF this was the last one, you’d think it would’ve been a much bigger one. But then again, NRS always seems to do things that don’t make a whole lot of sense and since they don’t communicate very well (or at all), we have no idea what’s going on and just have to speculate

¯\(ツ)
 
Can someone clear things up for me? Didn’t Ed Boon say there will be many years of support? And this will be the longest supported game?

I think the MK Twitter/X account said the same thing.
he did say that but NRS doesn’t have final say on MK’s destiny, WB does.
Still I’m pretty bummed because I like MK1 a lot, all that was missing for me to really dig it was training mode during match making.

I don’t think I’ll buy another NRS game at launch again though. This was my first NRS game on launch day since the OG MK2, and it was a terrible launch.

NDA needs to understand that when they sell DLC fighters at a premium, we expect said DLC fighters to have the same amount of skins/gear/care as the base roster characters. It's bothered the heck out of me since MK9.

Before support ended, I wish all MK DLC characters had Union of Light/Order of Darkness skins AND were included in the final chapter of the base story mode. It just makes sense.

Guests could've had more gear and skins like they did with Conan/Ghostface.

I enjoy the game but it was clearly a step down in overall presentation. You could tell they were playing catch up to whatever end goalpost was decided.
 
Dude, I'm as 1000% serious. MK1 is truly PHENOMNEAL, and the story is the greatest story ever done in the whole genre. I've even made a whole thread explaining why the story is that good, and so is the rest of the single player content. And if this is what Dominic Cianciolo can do on his own, well I wouldn't mind at all for him to keep making stories and on his own, because the way he wrote MK1 was brilliant.

If you want, here's my thread.

MK1's story felt like a bad ripoff of Avengers Endgame. It even has the same corny, quippy style of humor.

LMAO that would SFV and MVCI stories. THAT is a ripoff of Avengers. MK1 having a big battle at the end (that was clearly a reference to MK Armageddon) and having a time-based multiverse (that started with MK9) doesn't make it like Avengers. The fact that you and the rest can't understand the difference shows how so little you really know about MK and stories in general.

Someone should not make promises if they are not responsible for keeping them.

Under promise, over deliver is a basic of customer service. Ed should have kept his mouth shut in regards to stuff like that.
Or.....

Maybe you should just not take everything that Ed Boon says so literal and not hold him accountable for that.

Indeed, WB have the final say. That said, MK1 launch was perfectly fine. I also started since MK2, and Mk1 has been fantastic from start to finish. I've seen games that were truly bad at launch, MK1 was NOT one of them. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet had a closer launch to be bad and even that game was amazing. It's not Cyberpunk or Assassin Creed level of bad. Having some noticeable bugs doesn't make it a bad launch.

Unfortunately, it seems that NRS has a hyperfixation with adding weird mechanics to every title that seem to exist solely to make the game feel "different". MKX was heavy on rushdown and mixups, MK11 went the opposite direction and gutted combos and mixups, plus added a horrible meter system that required almost no skill or resource management to use. Kameos are MK1's fixation. I'm sure the next MK game will have another one...
They've been doing this before the NRS Era.

Unless there are people that seriously think MK2 played anything like UMK3.

They've always done this. They just didn't have Twitter back then.

This game was the most fun I've had with an MK game. Cool character designs, lots of creativity in terms of combinations and such.

It's a shame the Kameo system was so divisive, because I think it is some of the spiciest stuff in any MK game.

Everything that NRS/WB are doing is "so divisive". And so are the things that Capcom, Bamco and ASW doing. That's how the interent works

"Guys, don't hold the company rep responsible for what he says in regards to the product he's trying to sell! That isn't- inaudible due to company boot being licked so hard it blocks his esophagus

Another short Roy post! We really ARE in a New Era!
Is the world beginning to heal??

Hey guys look, another community shill that thinks he is smarter and than everyone and all he wants is just to be one of the "cool guys" and dragging this community to the absolute cesspool of toxicity and continuing to that just for interent clout, popularity and empty validation.

Dude, seriously, you comping out against NRS/WB for them selling you a product isn't being a hero on a high ground.

I know your life is so miserable, but you don't have shove it down our throats, you don't need to boot licking the boots of the "cool guys" anymore.

And that is why this community is a joke, because bullshit like this. If you didn't post bullshit like this, maybe, JUST MAYBE, Ed Boon would've maybe more responsive to you.
Oh yes, Ed Boon himself is just scouring the...what, 12 people that post here regularly. Positively hanging on our every word, really. If only Trickywizard had posted more, THEN we would have gotten KP3!!!

You're very smart.

NRS devs used to be here, and so are pros that are not just M2Dave or Tom Brady. They all used to post here and now they are all gone, and yes it is partially due to Twitter and YouTube being way more comfortable to talk about FGC stuff, but it's also because everyone here keeps shit posting. Otherwise Stephanie Brownback and Dizzy would still keep posting here, and maybe, JUST maybe, they would've taken your words to Ed Boon. Even on Twitter, the devs barely took to the fans about the games right now, and that is because of the shit posting that is there as well.

You are very smart.

Except this has nothing to do with me making fun of your inability to make a concise point.

Cry more, Travis.

Acutally it does, because everyone here make long posts, including you, and when all if you both in and out of this site type do much bullshit, sometomes it requires the breakdown needed to show how little you undetstand about pretty much anything. And yet you actullay use it as a gotcha on me, even though all of you yourself doing it and you bring it upon yourselves.

That is the truth, Tony Kahn, keep coping.

You've really gotta work on your punctuation, friend. No flow at all.

More importantly, my longest post would have a word count shorter than your daily output of poorly written slop.

Sorry Travis Scott. TYM didn't stop KP3 from happening.
