    Is the game dying already?

    No I hear you and I don’t, but that’s not the point I’m making, it’s not catering to gamers with systems like that. McDonald’s isn’t catering to athletes even if they dont have to eat there. A few decent looking skins that actually come in the game is a pretty good way to cater to gamers. Yes...

    Is the game dying already?

    MK1 is exploitative slop, it caters to greedy mfs at WB and to nostalgic boomers who’s dopamine receptors are too fried to care about the monetization.

    Is the game dying already?

    I suppose this thread is already completely derailed, but this does go into why MK1 feels kinda shit and unexciting beyond the obvious monetization and content issues, and the general NRS nonsense. OBVIOUSLY this is all my opinion, I hope i don't have to say it. But going down the line...

    Is the game dying already?

    Unironically if gender flipped Cyrax was with Sektor as a couple I wouldn't care. Based on SZ ending, Sektor is supposedly some kind of technical genius, so he will be changed heavily.

    Is the game dying already?

    This is a real thing, like don't be obtuse as to why people might not be excited at the prospect of female Cyrax. Cyrax's gender doesn't matter inherently, but the people who write these games aren't exactly subtle, if I see a gender swap, I assume they did it for a reason. And if the gender...

    Is the game dying already?

    Also I doubt MK1 timeline remains the typical MK thing. Old timeline Cyrax had a shockingly good story for how little time he had. Male Cyrax still exists because it’s a multiverse, this is totally fine. Not nearly as annoying as Kuai Liang Scorpion as a big Sub-Zero fan. Could be fun. The...

    Is the game dying already?

    In the GDC talk she did, the CEO almost verbatim said she would terrify the marketing department of what would happen if they didn’t give her what she wanted, in terms of hiring consultants. Yeah she sounds like a joy to deal with.

    Is the game dying already?

    Most of the stories they’ve consulted on are garbage though. God of War 5 is arguably an exception, and Alan Wake 2 obviously is. These articles lump people mad about peach fuzz on the horizon zero dawn girl in with people upset with something as obvious as suicide squad, which is kinda...

    Is the game dying already?

    It’s hilarious how sweet baby admitted to essentially bullying their way into getting hired to consult for games. They’re hacks and would be rightfully unemployed if culture wasn’t structured in a way to allow this.

    Suggestion for changes as a last ditch effort to make this game not feel like a shallow puddle of loops.

    I'm gonna buy some apple jacks next time I go to the store, I forget about them, but they're a sleeper top tier cereal.

    Is the game dying already?

    Maybe I’m off on what a twink is, but I thought a twink was effeminate and flimsy looking. Sub and Scorpion are young men though, they’re jacked even if less so than MK9. Sub in this game is impulsive and hot-headed and Scorpion is naive and hoping for the best from his brother. I thought a...

    Can’t get behind that, MK1 ninjas look badass

    Is the game dying already?

    Is it the hair? There’s already a gay man in MK who’s not a stereotype Other than like Raiden (unless I’m forgetting someone) the guys don’t look like twinks in this game imo. Unless you just mean that they’re noticeably handsome compared to previous games lol then yeah. The Lin Kuei ninjas...

    Who’s your favourite MK character?

    Kuai Liang Sub-Zero and it’s not even close. He’s a complete badass, eclipsed his older brother as a fighter and as a man. Loyal as fuck, always dependable from coming on the scene to when the timeline got reset. He hits way above his weight class and can throw down with legit anyone, his Lin...

    Is the game dying already?

    I appreciate you expanding on this, to be clear I didn't think you were trying to be condescending. I also think wanting to hit developers with baseball bats is over the line (hot take, I know, how brave of me), but I don’t think saying fuck em is too much. Neither is saying the game sucks...

    Is the game dying already?

    It’s true to a degree. Yes people do love hyperbole, I speak in hyperbole a lot but I’m as grossed out by WB and their developers as my posts suggest. You make a good point that you need to look at things through this lens because in general, you’re right that criticisms do tend to be overblown...

    Is the game dying already?

    I hear you, I really do. But I feel like it’s pretty obvious that it’s all just my opinion in this post so when I say 2017 was their last good year I don’t mean anything after is just garbage dog shit objectively. I recognize MK11 is a decent game even if I think it’s boring as shit, I didn’t...

    Is the game dying already?

    WB is killing me lmao they’re ruining the reputation of their good developers. NRS’ reputation has obviously gone to shit, see this thread and all the YouTube videos as evidence. Rocksteady was probably their objectively best and most respected developer. Batman Arkham Asylum revived the...

    What other games do you play besides MK?

    I missed the boat on 90s games but Halo: Combat Evolved (2001) is my favorite game of all time and I play through the game once a year around the holidays.

    Is the game dying already?

    I looked up the games they consulted on, a lot of them are sequels to series I used to love that were brutally disappointing like God of War 5, Spider-Man 2, and Suicide Squad. I think Suicide Squad is the only one out of those where an agenda of any kind is super on the nose just by looking at...
