Why we love Mortal Kombat X

[BLACKRENEGADE]

It really is true, most of all other fighters have piss-poor lore, story, and character relation. Also, something can be said for MK's gore and controls that are more friendly to beginners of the genre. Plus, the tourneys are the hypest around.

 

[call ME damo]

i like it but since i carnt get through online for 3 month i fucking hate it

 

[MrProfDrPepper]

well it is fun as hell and a very well crafted fighting game, which it isnt given enough credit for on this website surprisingly since it is an MK forum site thingy mabobber. basically the only areas im disappointed in is the later half of the story, no real challenge tower, and, uuuhhhh, that is about it. i think it is a phenominal game that i think gets shat on way more than it deserves, basically, i love this game, and every nether realm game i play i always have a blast, i love MK9, Injustice, and MKX all equally
EDIT: by the way i forgot to mention the atrocious public netcode, i personally dont play that since i dont like fighting randoms, that is probably the worst thing you could do to yourself when trying to get into the tournament scene.

guys,the graphics,the music and the gore are awesome(especially the brutalities,i loved them),but you have to understand that this game has no real footsies,no zoning,no decent antiairs,has interactables,and is mostly based in 50/50s...look,i grew up with the mk series and i really love it,i loved mk9 the most,and i was dissapointed that mkx grew to be a new injustice with a run button that completly destroy any kind of footsies and zoning...you just have to understand that some people want mk11(lets say) to be a better game and not to follow the injustice/mkx example...mk9 was way hyper game(for me at least) and i can't understand why they changed so much the playstyle...i can't understand why they have so many 50/50s and why so many of them are safe or can be cancelled to something safe or even plus on block...i can't understand why i lose 30%-40% because i didn't know if i had to block overhead or low...i am punished for not been able to read my opponent but if i block correctly,i can't even punish him?thats not fair...the gameplay is yolo...for online or casual players the game may be funny and enjoyable,but you have to understand that the high lvl play is another story...any player in this game can go full retard jump arround mode and thats very annoying...in mk9 lets say,the more you jumped the more you were punished for it,the 50/50s were punishable(take scorpion for example) and whiff punish was a real option...

I love MKX as an offline game but it's a complete shitfest in the online area. Story was pretty meh but better than MK9, and I do like most of the designs in this game. The 50/50s suck though and after awhile the game just becomes super boring. It's a great MK game but i'm on the fence at the moment

 

[KIllaByte]

Character variety on top of the layer of variety that variations bring is incredible!
No game has done this yet,the only similar thing is CVS2's groove system!
Variations actually work with 96% of the cast.

 

[Hellbringer]

The problem is, it's because of the constant moaning, nerf this, blah, blah shit by idiotic people is what's ruining the game. Plus the hostile attitude you see in these boards is a laughing stock in reality when you sum it all up. You just don't see this on other FG's.

I love the game and think it's excellent, yet lately I'm finding myself having no drive to play it. I tend to enjoy watching it more on streams or pre-recorded tournaments lately.

Lol the irony in this post

 

[rustigrapes]

The characters, the attention to detail. The fluid gameplay. Finally finding someone online who you can play a bunch of close call honorable good games with, also 9/10 my online gameplay is not lagging and great. I'm glad mk hasn't followed the herd of all the other fighting games with the blocky non fluid style And has stayed true to themselves

anyone remember the days were you had to work hard in order to open up your opponent?

Story mode better than MK9?

Edit: Will you continue play when Fallout 4 is released.

 

[coolwhip]

Because it's actually a really good fighting game.

What grade did you get in Statistics class?

 

[WakeUp DP]

Because this game is loads of fun and is 100 times more balanced than Mk9 and Injustice was at their time. Outside of a few niggles this game is close to perfect.

Also my online experience has been fine.

It might be more balanced but at least for me MK9 was so much more fun than MKX.
MK9 netcode was much better too.

 

[Espio]

Goro and Kitana are the footsies characters I've always dreamed of.

Not to mention these are some of their best designs yet, Green Goro with the fur on his gauntlets and necklace bling and Kitana with the gold, blue, flowing pants, chopsticks and princess Leia hair <3. Their sound effects are just beautiful too from Goro bitch slapping you with his fists to Kitana shoving a fan into your face, it's all on point.

Their dialogue is great too:

"I am here fool!" to Jax.

"I never considered you at all" to Takeda.

The level designs are absolutely gorgeous with great effects and life, love seeing people get coated in sand, dirt and water, just feels so much more engrossing.

It might be more balanced but at least for me MK9 was so much more fun than MKX.
MK9 netcode was much better.

Meter drain glitch, player one advantage, people stage counterpicking, Kabal, Kenshi, Cyrax, and Freddy destroying the whole cast, everyone outside top 15 being completely unviable, and an online that was worse for me including all my friends who played MK9 and now play Mkx.

Growing pains are hard for the majority of people, but the difference is day and night and MKX right now is a far better game than Mk9 could've ever been.

 

[knuckles74]

i love it because when played at a high level it feels almost like chess

 

[smokey]

All the non-balance and gameplay designs are awesome. The brutalities, fatalities and little character interactions are great to see and the game looks and plays really well. Pulling the game apart and looking at everything from a balance point of view makes it really easy to forget the game is actually one of the nicest games ive played in a very long time, regardless of the complaints we see day to day.

 

[DownfouralitY]

Story mode better than MK9?

Edit: Will you continue play when Fallout 4 is released.

I consider MKXs story mode to be better than MK9 based on the overall story. Don't get me wrong, there are things I liked about both.

Probably. Especially if there is a KP2 i'll be playing far after FO4 is released. I'm one of the few who is very skeptical about fo4 because I really dislike FO3 and it looks to be more of the same, so i'm not too excited for it.

 

[Robbie Rage]

In a few major points:

- MK has grown an impressive competitive community while its core fanbase has basically remained.
- MK, for the most part, is more approachable than many other fighters, so just about all my friends play it.
- Every pro player of the game I have ever encountered or played has been very friendly and helpful to my game.
- Nostalgic and new characters alike are getting fleshed out more and developed into more engaging fighters (especially the ninjas).
- I can dunk the Predator in acid and eat his head like tapas.

 

[FlappyDaniel]

anyone remember the days were you had to work hard in order to open up your opponent?

I still do.

 

[Skellington]

Because I grew up with it and it's controversial... Also the netcode sucks

 

[Oqtopus]

( this is my first fighting game but yeah.. )
i love mkx because of the awesome community it has
i love mkx because it wasnt that hard to get into but it is hard to master
i love mkx because the characters and their lore is awesome ( comic book is even better )
i love mkx because kicking someone with kotal half way across the map just looks too badass
i love mkx because i get people mad with kotals kostume

 

[Paul the Octopus]

I love the characters and lore 1000x more than street fighter's bland (and racist) character list but the netcode is a deal breaker and I will be making SFV my main game if MKX netcode doesn't improve and SFV's is as good as I've heard.

Not trying to complain for the sake of complaining. But I don't think there's any reason to hide our frustrations when NRS reads these boards and the netcode will never improve unless we make our priorities clear.

 

[WakeUp DP]

I love mkx because its helped me step up my neutral game a lot. It does have a lot of 50-50 that lead to big damage so I wanna avoid those as much as possible so its forced me to take my time and pick when to come in or punish

Meter drain glitch, player one advantage, people stage counterpicking, Kabal, Kenshi, Cyrax, and Freddy destroying the whole cast, everyone outside top 15 being completely unviable, and an online that was worse for me including all my friends who played MK9 and now play Mkx.

Some of us don't care for balance. I loved Kabal, zoning was so much fun, I miss it in MKX .

Stage counter pick was a fun part of the game, nothing wrong with it.

Also MK9 netcode was much better it isn't even a contest.

Give MK9 a big update, fix what you mentioned and you got a way better game than MKX hands down.

 

[WakeUp DP]

I still do.

What you use Kitana or Kenshi?
