I think I'm done with NRS games for a good long while.
The absolutely horrendous "balancing" that destroys fun characters... the DLC that makes absolutely no effort to pretend it's not P2W... the laughable variation/customization crap where the optimal version is found within 10 minutes and the rest is trash... skins locked behind special editions and paid DLC... braindead 50/50s and block pressure dominating every single match... nerfing characters that are fine just because the general public can't adapt to them within a single week... failing to buff or even notice characters for months despite their obvious weaknesses... the endless stream of guest characters from movies... lack of any fun alternate game modes... lack of any decent single player content... the rumours of loot and micro-transaction garbage coming to a fighting game... resources wasted on mobile trash so fat kids will steal their mom's credit card... failing to deliver on a KP3 despite it winning the poll... every tournament done as a terrible version of WWE while trying to make deadeyed gamers look charismatic... hyping up a trailer that contains about 10 seconds of actual gameplay total... the fact that nobody cares that ranked team battle has been broken since release... certain kombat kard items are literally impossible to unlock... as are certain kustom kombat modifiers... the way they flat-out unapologetically stole money from their PC customers...
It's clear that nobody at NRS cares about MKX. The game is broken and now that they've given an obscene sum of money to a mentally ill child for spamming DB2 while another player spammed b12, it'll remain that way. Bryan Cranston was literally the only reason I got hyped for Injustice 2, but seeing the sorry state of MKX reminded me not to fall for their trash. NRS has come so close to making a truly great game, so many times. But they always fall short. They always take the easy/cheap way out.
I might pick up the GotY edition of Injustice 2 when it comes out in a couple of years. But I'm done with the silly lies and forced excitement. I'm done with paying money for characters only to have a new round of DLC or nerfs undo everything I've learned about the game. NRS has made so many decisions that are absolutely mindbogglingly stupid, like nerfing the already weak BRC into laughing stock tier, giving Alien the same tools that made Tanya and Predator broken, nerfing Raiden into the ground because they can't patch out his option select then taking away his option select anyways and forgetting the character existed, nerfing Triborg after what felt like a few hours with the character, hyping up Goro then releasing an unfinished mess of a character, hyping up story mode characters like Rain/Sareena/Frost/Fujin/Nightwolf/Stryker/Kabal and then including four movie characters with no dialogue instead... It's absolutely abysmal. And now they want me to buy more of the same garbage?
They think really really fancy stage transitions and armour with little glowy bits will make up for all this nonsense? Laughable.
