So did Havik just get bored of instantly regenerating? Did his army of regenerating clones (or whatever they were, its been awhile) just decide to stop? The answer to both of these questions is YES, which is bad writing.Oh yes, the typical interent "potential" line.
Let me give you a reality check, any "potential" you think hasn't reached, just doesn't exist. There is no potential that MK has yet to reach, because it exceeded al expectations. Reptile isn't "butchered" just because he saw one Predator movie bur rather just showing that being a Zaterran or seeing Tarkatans and what not for him it's natural, just like for Johnny Cage seeing Predator is natural but seeing Zaterrans and whatnot is not, that intro was there to show that the characters have different experiences and therefore different POV's. Also Havik just lost to Noob Saibot and lost his limbs, and Bi-Han being arrogant and full of anger is to show of his character being too ambitious for his own. Also the chapter-based story is exactly what need for us to get to know that characters more and see their characters being developed. And MK was the one that started the Multiverse trend in pop culture with MK9 , not the MCU, so your comparison is mute.
And if you call acting and pacing in any NRS/WB game story "porn level" acting and pacing then you never saw any actual bad movies with that kind of stuff.
You are just mad because you can't take your nostalgia goggles off. On the contrary, it is SF and Tekken that lost everything. All the SF games have proved more and more that the premise in SF has no weight, same thing with Tekken that just tries to keep the Guinness record going. As for now, with the exception of Alpha 2 and 3, I find any SF game to be just straight up unplayable, and even with them I have gripes. And with Tekken, any Tekken game post Tekken 5 DR is also unplayable. And it's not just because of the story for either IP but also just overall direction, design, philosophy and business practices.
And therefore I'm not going to SF or Tekken related sites, because I don't care about them anymore. And that begs the question, why are YOU here, in an MK forum, if you don't like MK anymore? Wouldn't you better of to go to like Eventhubs or something? Because would make way more sense for you to go there
I could pick apart your post but you sound like a pro NRS zealot/lunatic. I got tired of debating with you guys during mk11. There's no point. We won't agree. Also I can't tell if you're trolling, or like an actual child. No hate if you're on the younger side tho, just saying.
And I don't hate MK. As a life long fan I'm just disappointed in the lack luster approach to their own lore. In the universe they've created there is the ground work for a Lord of the Rings or Star Wars caliber story/saga, but they'd rather half ass it into forgettable cheese. Miles and miles ahead of any other fighting game for sure, but that bar is so low its almost not worth being an achievement. lol
Also in both of my posts i'm exclusively talking about the story mode, if that wasn't clear.
