If you win in MK11 you lose in general because you're playing MK11
Lol I say this in the nicest way possible. What a load of shit. Let’s be intellectually honest. There’s nothing fair about fatal blows, break away, flawless block on hit, wake up forward roll or any of the other aforementioned nonsense used to circumvent the mechanics of fighting games. Have you played other nrs titles, killer instinct, street fighter? Seriously?
I actually think it's a bit worse and goes one level deeper. To me (and to many other leading up to the game's release), it seemed as though the game was designed specifically for custom variations, but due to time/crunch, they were unable to fully implement that system and had to instead attempt to balance the game around preset variations. As a result, the custom moves were never properly balanced and the preset variations never felt fully realized either. Then they opened up customs without balancing them, and we got incomplete custom moves slapped onto a base that was haphazardly rushed and forced to fit preset variations.
Doesn't come across that nice at all.
… I don’t like it because it is unfair.
Unfair implies you are and a disadvantage via a difference of power. That you have a taller mountain to climb than the other guy.
I've got to disagree here. There are plenty of ways to read, bait, and punish wake-up rolls. There are very few things more satisfying than making that read and punishing accordingly. If your opponent reads that you're going to press buttons and they roll and punish, that's not an issue with the game, that's just you getting punished for getting too aggressive, impatient, or greedy. I have no issue with wakeup rolls.
To me unfair would be something like Player 1 being granted more health, or meter, or always winning all trades, or something like that.
Bingo. I think that's a big reason why a lot of people often dislike the newest game in a franchise.
I’m getting my mba now and literally reading brand awareness as we speak. I could be wrong but I think brand awareness is at all time high for mk compared to where it was in 2015 with mkx. We’ve had two animated releases, a live action release, tons of pop culture references, the game is easier and more accessible than mkx. It certainly makes sense that it’s selling like cold water in hell.
Bro... Noob Saibot and Erron Black can stand full screen and mash the triggers, go completely unpunished against the bulk of the cast, wait 10 seconds and do the same thing again.
This is my #1 concern moving forward. NRS literally set the standard for communication, hype, and showing stuff off cool stuff in the modern fighting game era via Injustice 1, MKX, and Injustice 2. Then MK11 comes along with the hypest of hype shit via the announcement trailer, invite-only event with a tournament, character trailers, etc.; but it then proceeded to IMMEDIATELY fizzle out into nothing. COVID concerns and the cracking down on crunch culture obviously caused a fuckton of issues (especially combined with the behind the scenes dealings of WB Games' upcoming death and NRS sell off), but hot damn did NRS just sorta.. vanish entirely. Then give some DLC. Then vanish. Then give some DLC. Then get a random little patch to gut Sheeva. Then vanish. Then confirm the game is done via a tweet.
This kind of negative talk is not welcome on TYM. You can hate the game all you want, but you may not shit on other users' enjoyment of the game. Since joining TYM, all you have done is complain. Literally, I'm curious if you can show me a comment you have made that hasn't directly or indirectly been a complaint about the game.
I've actually received nothing but support for my comments with the exception of Marlow if you take a look. I was very careful with my choice of words not to insult or offend him. I don't participate in name calling. But if you're going to enforce an environment taken out of the REO play book, then this is not the site for me. I actually thought I was farely respectful and have said only positive things about MKX.This kind of negative talk is not welcome on TYM.

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but support for the game is done. Your complaints will only have one effect, and that's to annoy the members of this community who do enjoy the game. No amount of complaining is going to achieve anything whatsoever. So, you have three choices: Either you can change your attitude and try to find some enjoyment in the game or you can move on to a game you do enjoy. The third choice is to continue this nonstop shitting on our users who do enjoy the game, but that choice will lead to a permanent ban from our community. I genuinely hope you choose one of the first two.
Your tone has not been respectful. You are free to dislike the game all you want, but you may not insult our users who do like the game. But this is not an argument I'm going to have. If you can't tell the difference between respectful and disrespectful criticism of the game, then you are probably correct that this is not the community for you.
Where did I insult him? That's not the case here sir. I do think MK 11 is bad, but I did not insult him.
In this instance, you are insulting their taste in the game, rather than expressing your own discontent with the game.
In all fairness, telling someone that others enjoy the feeling of nausea is, absolutely, an insult. You're belittling the poster and his opinion, and then go on to state that your opinion, which is subjective, is superior.
It's a tongue and check joke, dude. I've outline all the various nauseating problems this game has in particular. I'll be more careful in the future. I've no problem with anyone on the site. I'm sure Marlow is a super chill dude. I'm a new member. Not trying to ruffle any feathers or belittle anyone. The default position is if you enjoy the game that's great.
