@FullLifeguard the mk fans are passionate the game broke records in fg for Gods sake, it's just mk 11 isnt a very good game as much as it pains me to say that. If the mk fans weren't passionate mk would have died out after mk vs DC. You're talking about tourney people they do not represent the entire mkc. Those who like competitive mk are in the minority.
No, I know you enjoy a good shilling, but I’m not going to sit here and let you blame the community.
This is NRS’s fault. The scene has been TRYING to keep interest alive. Things like Destroyer’s tournaments, K&M FT10 series, people like Raptor constantly posting what little tech there is to find. It is NOT the community’s fault.
Was the community bitching about the game? Yes. But perhaps that’s because there have been some egregious balance and gameplay issues plaguing the game for MONTHS. People get frustrated.
NRS spent the entire time leading up to the game having us believe customs were happening, and then they were gone. The launch was a disaster, specifically the debacle that was the towers. Favorite characters were again sidelined for, and I quote, “Fan favorites from MKX like Jacqui.” The gear system is tragic. Yes, please, let me change how this grenade that’s hidden under Terminator’s coat 90% of the time looks. Insane balance issues, some of which, are STILL not addressed. And don’t forget how simply awful some of these new “variations” are. Clearly not thought out. Clearly not planned from the beginning.
Then some of you are going to pretend like MK11, the first NRS game to not have two years at EVO, the largest and most premier fighting game tournrament in the WORLD, isn’t a big deal. lol.
If the message hasn’t become crystal fucking clear about how the FGC views MK11 to both the White Knights and NRS I don’t know what will.
Agreed. Well said, I've come to the conclusion that some people on here just refuse to accept the truth that is MK 9 and MK X even are simply better games than MK 11. Period. MK 9 had 3 evos in a row, already a better feat than MK 11 didn't even get 2 in a row. MK X had 2 iirc. Perhaps the higher ups at Evo saw stuff clearly flawed like Jacqui's upgraded and the meta in this game up close which is literally who can outpoke who, outstagger who into 5050. It's dull, lame and just not fun to experience(nevermind watching)
To be fair Capcom also markets poorly and makes their games for casuals in mind too like NRS(though Capcom had SF5 incomplete which was a joke) MK 11 just feels like the gameplay is incomplete, I mean hell they didn't even have all 3 variations for tourney/competitive play finished. No MK 11 fan can justify this as far as I'm concerned. I think they put too much other stuff into this game as well as focused too much on the variation/custom crap again. Case in point, if this game was so great, balanced and "NRS's best game ever" then it wouldn't have been turned down for Evo on it's second year, nuff said. But like you said bro, the white knights, shills etc will ignore this and just say "we have an agenda against the game" no, we just call shit how it is lol. No FG is perfect nor MK game is obviously, however it's also obvious that clearly some folks can't seem to see or accept the fact that MK 11 isn't without it's problems either.
And as for NRS, pfftt honestly I don't think they care at this point other than DLC and lazy patches every few months. I mean they made their millions for WB, got their checks. Shit, their last Kombat Kast they couldn't even get the damn sound in sync....for a stream. This is basic shit amateur twitch streamers have no issue with.
Just saying, I love their KK's but when you struggle to show a simple stream for a new character it doesn't look good at all for NRS and makes you wonder what they're doing behind closed doors with this game.
