Can't wait for someone to mod out the QTE's, absolutely unnecessary.
I think the story had some great set-pieces and some nicely done action scenes, like the assault on Kotal's caravan (Karavan?)
But, as will likely always be the case, so many characters means a strange rationing of screen-time and some proper wacky inconsistencies in power and social hierarchy.
I prefer the MK9 story for sure, but I liked a lot of the visuals in this one, the lighting was great and really atmospheric, the transition between scenes was nicely done. Some cool body language in the mo-cap acting too and some good voice acting for a huge chunk of the cast.
I still don't buy the new-gen kids as "heroes of the day", but when you play a series for about two decades, it's sometimes hard to move your audience on.
On a fan level, I was really happy to see Sindel get a few good spots in the story, and especially to make it to the end credits, but I was
really hoping for her and the other heroes to revert to their normal selves (and, in her case her true personality, something I still hope will return in this timeline)
I would really love to see the NPCs fleshed out and released as legit roster members.
Johnny Cage came across
great. Really easy to find him likeable/relateable.
There is real dread in Raiden's transformation, he basically doesn't give a sh*t who or what gets annihilated anymore.
I do feel bad for Mileena fans, but take heart, there's no way your favourite fang-faced gal isn't returning at some point.
It's interesting to read how love/hate people are on various new characters.
I hope you guys are all having a rad time exploring the game
TL;DR: Dat Hair grappling hook.
