God, you showing me the force unleashed opening for the first level and saying that it’s the 600th time you’ve seen it is so relatable.
Thank you Order of Darkness Janet Cage for saving us all XD
First
So this is really impressive on a technical level, and the people who do all the cinematic elements deserve praise for it.
The writers on the other hand…
They did good until the last 2 chapters
@@Deathmare235 Totally, story was amazing until the scene Liu brought the Titan Kitana. Then, it's downhill story-wise even though I loved their reunion.
@@mk_jdilla the crazy part is realistically the reunion shouldn’t be a thing. Given what mk11 established for the canon.
Liu should be the only remnant and last survivor of the 2nd timeline and not anyone else but they decided to have more multiversal bs and make the entire titan status even more pathetic (if everyone can somehow beat kronika and have that be canon, which basically makes the god pantheon and above even more of a joke).
4:02 T-Pose to show one's dominace
My fun fact i know about Fusion fighters is that the reason they explode when losing in Invasions is probably because they didnt want to make unique limb models for every single one of them, which is why i doubt a lot of them will be playable, and the Callbacks ones (Cyber smoke, Ninja mime, ETC) Will probably get limb models for the expansion so we can get skins for them
the exploding models don’t bother me but I hate that whenever one explodes my fighter always reacts like they got hit. looks so stupid
I can't wait for The4thSnake to critique this game. I love the allusions to Mortal Kombat Armageddon. In that game Reptile's alt was the one from MKDA.
Me too, I remeber waiting post-release for it. Until I realized we'd have to wait for around a year because of invasions and other dlc's the game will release.
Too bad the story sucked.
@@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475 Indeed.
Thanks for delving into this. Despite this chapter making the overall story such a mess unfortunately and defeating the point of this being (another) _MK_ reboot, I can still appreciate techniques used.
This chapter is the definition of a good execution of a bad idea.
@@vaggos2003I was gonna fume if you said it was a good idea but you’re bang on
@@MusicoftheDamned ironic part is for mk1, people are also now dogging for the presentation aspects of how the story mode is shown (I.e. graphics and shit) and saying mk11 is better lmao
@@nabilahmed579 Lol. Revisionist "historians" are going to revision I guess. Not that _M1K_ doesn't have some presentation issues, especially since it clearly got rushed out and screwed over by _Kill the Justice League_ (which predictabky still bombed), but I have to wonder how the _MK11_ story mode is supposedly better overall. In graphics they seem about the same, and even as someone who thinks going "infinite multiverse!" with this franchise was even more of mistake than everything _MK11_ did somehow, the _M1K_ story mode before that point is overall rather decent while the story of _MK11_ is dumb all around
@@MusicoftheDamned honestly bro, I think it’s kinda like you said with the ‘historian’ part but more so with rose tinted glasses, lots of people forget how shit the predecessor when we are focusing on mk1.
Mk1 is a shit product that was rushed out by WB to make money but to say mk11 is better is pretty much diabolical when you factor in that most of the complaints that we see from mk1 are literally what people was complaining in mk11 how
- game balance (in terms of what characters are mostly seen) (mk1 - it’s JC, peacemaker, kenshi) and we only saw a few characters (e.g. in mk11, we are not gonna pretend that most times we mostly players use cetrion, liu and likes of jacqui),
game balance in terms of functions and mechanics(e.g. mk1 - whoever can function without kameo is top tier, mk11 - whatever characters had more clutch options with stupid kbs, flawless blocks, additional areas such as fb benefits like JC and joker, multiple wake up options, how the game originally set out to be footsies ended up being a watered down version of mkx)
- greed - there was some aspects of it being heavily criticised by mk11 as well when they managed to announce the ultimate editions of the games and how NRS was tryna rip off the lore loyal fans of mk11 off lmao. Where as mk1 has this in the online store
- grinding - both games were just as criticised in terms of how shit the grind was in both games lmao
- guest characters - as far as Ian concerned the only guest characters and mk characters that were genuinely requested were rain, fujin, spawn and potentially Shang and nightwolf. Everyone else was either not requested but got through due to story reasons, movie promos or straight up death threats in mk11, whereas mk1 no one wanted super heroes (but comp fine mk characters
I could probs list a lot more but I am gonna say mk community is very weird at times when it comes to criticism and not exactly the smartest bunch when it comes to discussion considering most of them are pure casuals.
All I know is that most of ‘mortal Kombat’ started really getting go downhill when mk11 came out and it’s just not for the story only (only knew mk11’s existence bcoz I kept getting spammed random terminator gameplay trailer ads when watching TH-cam)
3:51 The Shang image that is spammed within the MK subreddit
I'd like to call the union of light counter parts of shang tsung and quan chi as the friendly alliance 😂
*Friendship.* Friendship!?!
@@nathanielvaughn6728 Again?
That trick never works!
games story just takes a dive at the end when shang tsung revealed himself😭😭
It sure did. Especially taking into consideration his motive behind everything it’s even more stupid. 😂😂
Tbh, it started to dive when Bi-Han turned evil, then once Shang revealed himself it was all over 😔
The story might have been salvagable if Titan (ugh) Shang Tsung's universe was the only other universe to exist period, like his reveal seemed to imply. And then they went full multiverse to trend chase while giving us no reason to care *and* making it seem like they were already going to reboot their reboot again.
Sigh. This was so avoidable even if NRS was bound by WB to make it _MK11: Part 2.5: After-Aftermath_ for some reason. Short of WB literally forcing the multiverse trend-chasing, I see no legitimate excuse for this.
@@pt7930 nahhh u right they keep makin my mans evil for no reason😭😭😭
@@pt7930Bi Han is easily the worst character in the game. Such a bland villain.
I like seeing you talking a little more about technique and coding stuff. I don't know if there's stuff to discuss in this manner for past titles, but it could be fun.
Tho I have to say, I hate fighting games taking giant disk space for a linear story mode with no replayability. Let us at least uninstall it once we're done. Some games allow it but not all of them.
I recently went through the Armageddon scenes with several characters, the new 60fps option makes the switches a bit more obvious.
Watching it over and over I realised in the Cage scene, Johnny and Janet both audibly scream, white Ninja Mime of course just mimes screaming.
I remember when they explicitly pointed out in a patch note that Ninja Mime no longer grunts in gameplay. I wonder if the cutscene was always like that or if it was also changed.
It just goes to show that you can say whatever you want about their writing but the animators work their assed off
it was incredible in a technical level, sadly it was also the biggest fumble they've ever done story wise
Didn't people say mk11 was the biggest fumble considering literally everybody hated that game
@@MazeDaGr8He means that the game was going great up until that point. MK11 has very few good moments, let alone great. There was nothing to fumble.
@@MazeDaGr8 mk11 still has the most people hating its story mode when you take everything into consideration.
At least, with m1k, the story was only taking a nosedive in the last few chapters compared to mk11 (dlc included) being a fucking trainwreck through most of the story chapters entirely
@@nabilahmed579I'm actually one of the people who considers M1K's story not good even before the third act...tho quality did nosedive regardless at the final chapters anyway.
Bro the forced unleashed cutcene, i've seen it 1000 times
Speaking of the switch version, I hope that once the next gen nintendo switch comes out, mortal 1 kombat gets a graphical upgrade
I totally agree, they honestly should have just kept switch with mk 11 and waited to port mk 1 to switch 2, the mk 11 port is a lot better and doesn't have nearly as much problems as the mk 1 port
I think this is almost guaranteed.
Netherrealm really made a new timeline with new characters and ruined it by rushing straight to Armageddon.
It's like watching the first Avengers film, and it jumps straight to infinity war.
0:00 WOAH!!! YOU'RE REALLY SMOKE AND MIRRORS!!!!
Thanks for the technical breakdown! Looking forward to hearing what you'll have to say regarding M1K as whole!
...in 2-3 years when everything will be released.
“May we one day meet again.”
*a few moments later*
“Oh, hey.”
You can delete the cutscenes and it won’t crash story mode it’ll just skip them instead and go immediately to real time scenes. I believe you can’t delete the trial mode and influencer build files alongside the credits or else the game will crash if you try to load online
Something I never thought about or really cared about …
But this was a great insight really enjoyed it 🙏
_"Our character advances on the Deadly Alliance."_
*"You WHAT!?!"*
Great breakdown! Cheers for the video snake.
I think it’s becoming increasingly clear as time goes by that the original roster included Ermac and Quan Chi in some capacity - my thinking is that Quan Chi was our requisite “hype returning character pre-order” and the 25th character. I’d be interested in seeing a world where MK1 had its desired development cycle and we got a fully realised product.
On the one hand I get why they'd want to keep the file size down, on the other I kinda wanna see what happens if NR decides to go all Call of Duty and have near a terabyte of game lol
Impressive my homie
3:05 Nah you're mistaken, that's not Smoke or Batman, that's Coal.
11:28 I assume the trial version is still here so they can easily make another 'free weekend' event, where you can only play up to chapter 2.
I really like this chapter its basically a armageddon reference
Glad to see you're covering MK again!
BRB gonna find a way to replace all the Chapter 15 pre-renders with clips from Nadia and the Secret of Blue Water and Tales of Zestiria The X to make the ultimate surreal experience, the ultimate showcase of how this Titan brouhaha could fuck up the multiverse. Thanks, Shang Tsung!
Also replacing the Teahouse TV clip with the entire movie I Love You Phillip Morris
10:26 I wouldn't be surprised is they redub the game Mortal Kombat 12 with the expansion. Since it kind of seems like M1K was just a way to hide the Shang Tsung twist.
Awesome Video Bro!
7:16 no, i completed the story mode before omniman and the extended scene of them wasnt there.
The Janet T-Pose lmaoooo
With all the negativity around mk , this is still cool .
pointing out that this was miss opportunity the pyramid could have been a great way to bring back endurance mode for the klassic tower.
Now although I still love the MK1 story mode. I must admit that the final chapter while amazing on a cinematic level is messy on a story level.
My personal issue for me is that while I love the idea of choosing your final character for the story, it kinda sucks how it’s not the same one you’ve been following throughout the story and instead is just another one from a different timeline. Where the heck were the others. Fighting the dragon army?! I refuse to believe that the dragon army is that strong to the point where they can hold their own against the Champion of Earthrealm, both Princesses of Outworld, and the Deadly Alliance. There’s just no way that’s happening. A good way to fix this is to keep the characters we’ve been following and get rid of the characters who aren’t with the good guys, like General Shao and Sub-Zero.
My second issue is something I’m genuinely confused on… What’s the difference between an alternate timeline & an alternate universe. Because this game makes these two terms really hard to follow. I thought an alternate timeline took place in the same universe but had different events and outcomes. Meanwhile an alternate universe is something entirely new that follows its own rules and such. Either I’m confused or NRS just doesn’t know the difference either.
TL;DR: The final chapter was cinematically awesome, but messy. I don’t know the difference between an alternate timeline and alternate universe.
Lui Kang seeing Janet Cage: ...
Honestly I always thought everything was rendered in game, and that the pre-render was only for the Switch lol. Nice video and excellent explanation. Can't wait to see what this game has in store for us next!
Mortal 1 kombat kritique is going to be fire
Awww, I just wanted to be a rendered cutscene, to mod it up to eleven...
While talking about visual presentation, what would you say about cel shaded mortal kombat games? Maybe even older ones getting remakes this way, like special forces and shaolin monks!
Seeing Raiden speak with the Elder Gods makes me want a stage where you fight in front of them now
MK4.
@@The4thSnake wasn’t aware of that, thanks
The one thing Netherrealm games have going for them is production quality.
Cool vid bro.😺
I wish I had played the 3D era of Mortal kombat I was a kid during that time but I didn’t really play video games that much and the first Mortal Kombat game I played was MK vs dc
every single wrong qte, huh?
@@Terminated_Account What do you mean?
@@adrianrocha6844 qte = quick time event
basically im saying you chose every single wrong choice haha
❤
Imagine Jade for KP1 and not Ermac LOOL
@The4thSnake @1:21 Are you sure about that?
I was joking when i said snakes Khronicles is just his Fanfiction until i saw the link 💀💀
You really are doing everything but an M1K Komplete Kritique 😭
Ciancolo narrative v.s Tobias narrative LOL He just love Avengers and throw every Multiverse he can. Ridiculous. It's a sad time to be MK Fan
First her🎉
You weren't first, but the first was a bot so you basically were.
@@The4thSnake. Sometimes, you're just too soft with them man!
DUDE onslaught just died :/
only thing you liked about modern mk and they fukin close? you gonna go berserk on their ass haha
The4thShill
Hilarious.
This chapter is one of the worst chapters in any Netherrealm game. I hate hate hate everything about this chapter.
They wanted their own endgame, that simple.
This is one of the worst takes ever. This is the better than 95% of MK's stories. Especially fighting games in general.
Still better than the entire base mk11 story.
I do think that this is as both the best but worst chapter imo.
@@TheCaptainhowdy11Even if this was true, then it would still be damned by faint praise just like how calling it the best story mode NRS has done would be, unfortunately. _M1K_ had a story that was overall going to be rather decent, maybe even good, until NRS decided to make its story _MK11: Part 2(.5): After-Aftermath_ and then added the infinite multiverse trend chasing on top of that. After needlessly rebooting their reboot only three games in, why should we care anymore?
The "funniest" thing about the squandered potential of the _M1K_ story and it technically (not) being a r reboot is how the Great Kao Lung was teased at the end of _MK11: Aftermath_ only for him to be completely irrelevant...again. Of all the _MK_ stories to continue, _MK11_ is literally the last one that anyone wanted, especially after _Aftermath_ was the cleanest breakaway NRS was going to get.
Still looks visually indistinguishable from most current games,slow,clunky and cluttered with unnecessary details. Would some personality graphicswise simply killed game developers?
Yes
Gee, maybe if WB gave them more time to finish the game...
@@Greg501-. So the games can't be made cel shaded? Good to know...
@@erikbihari3625 How did you get that from me saying that M1K looks the way it does because of a tight deadline from the executives?
@@Greg501-. What i'm saying is, that if their on a tight schedule then that's more reason for cel shading! Because you can get good result for half the price. Have you seen Storm Hawks? Not to mention the Many games that use this style to great effect like okami! You're trying to twist my words now?
This multiverse fad needs to die. That was awful in M1K.
Wtf is M1K? Is this tea sipper serious?
