Not worth buying the physical version of an MK game either, because what's the point of having a physical copy of the game if you don't have internet to download all the patches and new content after already owning the game? 🙄
This is my last NRS game I'm buying at full price. Bought them all on launch since Midway days - MK vs DCU. I'll be more than happy to pick up the complete version of the next game at 90% off later down the road
Charging extra for skins, fatalities, unfinished characters, voice announcements, backgrounds. Whats the point of selling the game for TOP DOLLAR if the game isn't even finished? You can't even play it without internet on local with irl friends. Mk9, MkX, and Mk11 are peak, never should've restarted the timeline for the 3rd time honestly.
@@shamfyre More like a big set back, a side from everything i stated before. We still don't have skin or fighting style load outs like we did from the last 3 games. And something every Mortal Kombat game also did is make a new character. Mk1 didn't do that besides gender swapping or changing the names around.
doomed the moment they involved the multiverse (Again again again) 25 minutes into yet again, another MK Timeline Reboot. lmao. only for the DLC.... to add MORE timeline invasions. NRS can't tell a story without using reboots/timelines/alt universes to save their lives - and they fking used it 4 different times in 1 game.
What are you on😂😂 its a great game at the end of the day. Kameos, characters, gameplay, fatalities animalities, story mode... its a great game. Yess it has its issues but it's the best mk we've had since 9
they brought this unto themselves, crappy game play, unnecessary reboot, ugly ass hoes, terrible story line, and to top it off ruining many different characters by permanently changing them. even if they had years to fix the gameplay, they couldn't repair the damage they did to the lore and fighters, they way NRS handled MK1 was so shameful I had no hype for the DLC, and didn't even bother playing it.
Seriously, how is MK1’s support ending surprising to anybody? MK1 launched in a terrible state and took over a year of changes (with some being questionable) to get it to a point where it should’ve been on release. First impressions are everything, and they screwed that up at an insane level, especially in comparison with their contemporaries. Overall balance was horrendous, legacy was thrown out the window yet again, online was barebones, and competitive support was nonexistent. From a casual standpoint, the story was more timeline bullshit, virtually no other single player content, and cosmetics/finishers locked behind purchasable currency. As far as DLC, Khaos Reigns was overpriced trash and fans are somehow surprised that NRS released something half baked yet again while WB slapped a $50 price tag on. While former fans like myself dipped out during MK11 and have been watching the shitshow unfold, others just kept holding onto something that is not there anymore. Niggas that call themselves true fans were eating all of this garbage up with tears in their eyes telling us how it tastes amazing and only going to get better. I’ve been a fan for over 20 years and have played both casually and competitively. Seeing where things are now is hilarious and incredibly sad. I’d say I have hope but. lol. On another note, would love to keep hearing you talk about MK as a franchise still with Dave. Even if it’s about previous titles, going into their metas, stories from arcade days or meeting Dave for the first time, etc. One of the few MK channels I enjoy since almost every other one is shit about the story, lore, characters, or fucking weirdos complaining about no polygon boobs being in their games. Either way. Take care, Tom.
Preach, man. I've been doing the same. Pointing out what a total dumpsterfire this game is and how it torpedoed MK for EVERY normie gamer I know. Every single one. But nope supposedly I'm wrong and hating "for no reason". As if I haven't been an MK fan since DAY ONE in the arcades. Sure okay. All these consumer-brained idiots eagerly slurping up slop and praising Boon who was ALWAYS the weakest link of the OG games. Its so delusional.
Bro to me the last good one was 9 I feel like all of this BS started in X and it only got noticed in the following games because of how much worse they were I hated a lot about X when it first came out I still do its just that 11, and 1 are so bad that I choose not to disrespect anymore but I feel like a lot of this community didn't play or wasn't good at 9 to see what I'm talking about
@@tylerlopez1443Yeah I think MK9 was the last great MK game particularly if you were an old skool MK fan from the 90’s. I feel MK9 was the last hurrah for our generation. Everything from the gameplay, atmosphere, roster, music, content, graphics and presentation was great. MKX while a good game in terms of gameplay, graphics and roster but the game was lacking in a few areas. The presentation with the overly cinematic feel lead to the shit music we have been getting in MK for a while now. Music in MK for me makes a big difference to the feel of a game. I felt that they put too much injustice in the game with the look and feel. The story was trash, had some good moments but wasn’t a fan of the Kombat Kids. Plus the political woke shit started creeping in at this time too, which got worse with each next instalment. I don’t recognise this franchise anymore and it’s sadly time to move on. I didn’t even buy MK1 as I knew it was trash the moment I saw it. Plus the timeline shenanigans needs to stop. I used to preorder every Mk game since MK Deception all the way to MK11. I didn’t even touch this game, complete trash.
Boring game, uninspired character design and kameos were a bad idea. Oh, and I forgot that terrible multiverse bullshit, that allows NRS to create more terrible designs and variations for each character.
Ok this might be because I’m not a boomer or an og mk fan but I don’t see what’s so wrong with this game I mean mkx and mk11 was way better but still I don’t see what’s that bad about the game can you explain more?
@@arjunratnadev I grew up playing Tekken 3 and it was my Favorite game back then, When Tekken 7 came out. the online experience was very bad and so were the servers at least for me. by that time I tried MK11. anyway fast forward to today. I'm vibing with Tekken 8. I'm never touching anything MK related. that was a mistake
To be fair Ed hasn't worked in mortal kombat since the 90's. He made the product and sold it off. Only thing he does is oversee and gives his options on the story and how the characters should look. When Netherrealm has anything new to show they ask him to be the one to show it off out of respect. Warner Brothers are the real creators of the franchise now, but mk1 went down hill as soon as they hires men with dresses.
This is more Wanner Bros than NRS you have to remember that Ed Boon dosent own NRS Wanner Bros dose so its very likely this is Wanner Bros decision more so than his
This is what they get. Alienate your og fanbase to cater towards a generation who doesn't care for mk and its lore also having short attention spans. All they care about is guest characters thats why Mk1 has so many. This was a big mistake.
Yeah they set themselves up for failure. Mk11 fostered a playerbase of yes-men and spoonfed babies. Even if they released a good game id be surprised to see it succeed. This dev team seems too incompetent to keep up a good game, let alone rescue a game thats garbage on release.
@@just_2swift people have cried about guests since every game since MK9 and yet they always sell the most. There’s nothing to “go over my head” Also most of the MK audience was always casuals who beat story at quit.
MK 11 sold on hype that will never be replicated. It used the movie and the old theme to market it. It also couldn't be that bad because it sold more than double of what Street Fighter 5 did. Give 11 it's respect!!
@maskedvigilantee2050 go back and watch that launch trailer or was going to sell off of that alone. Plus, it also had a beta/demo so people knew what they were getting. Did MK1?
@Vancerova I don't like mk1 bro I'm just surprised you think marketing initiatives alone made them sell and neglecting the fact that mkx made people have high hopes for the game
@@maskedvigilantee2050I agree me and my friends was hype for mk11 because we thought they would build off mkx when we first saw the gameplay everybody was so disappointed
Fix MK: Make the game darker/grittier Bring back sexual/sensuality in female characters Bring back stage fatalities Bring back slower play with more weight to the punches/kicks Remove Kameo and Variation systems Remove the goofy stages (i.e., Cage) Remove comic book type guest characters that belong in Injustice Make the game more martial arts-like
I mean the chaos reign literally made the game darker it didn't fix the game. They do have sexy character there just not strippers the og mk games wasn't overly sexualized either so no. Stage fatalities is cool but so was animal ones but that didn't save the game. MKx was one of the best games because of its fast gameplay so no let's not make it slower. Yes get rid of kameos,this game literally has the coolest stage designs lol. There's no point of having honelander or ombiman in a injustice game the point of having them is there violance so no. Things to actually fix the game Stop being greedy as fuck Get rid of kameos Have multiple customization slots Get rid of the multiverse shit Have an actually complete restart Better default designs Make online more enjoyable Bring back an exploring world like the 3d era of mk people been asking this for years there just ignoring fans at this point.
The difference between SFV and MK1 is that the audience actually punished Capcom with low sales and poor reviews, thereby forcing the company to overhaul its approach moving forward. MK’s audience should’ve punished NRS for abandoning MK11 the way they did, but the initial reception of MK1 communicated to NRS and WB that they wouldn’t face repercussions for it.
theres also a point not enough people are saying; "Support" doesnt mean dlc charachters ,just balance patches could be considered support simple as that
I knew Kahos Reigns failed when i saw a huge price drop a couple of weeks ago Also for the people that don't believes this, FATE has been right since MK11 he was the first guy that reported characters like Kollector and Frost months before their reveal
Definitely big mistake pre ordering , I feel your pain. And my dumbass brought Khaos after two or three outs and now it’s 50-60% off. Could have waited. But I’m loving noob so I ain’t crying.
Better that we know in advanced then what happened with mk11. I remember we waited 6 or 8 months for them to tell us out if the blue that they were done
Y’all lame y’all want this game to do bad bruh y’all ain’t real Fucking fans I’m really hurt rn knowing mk1 might end ion wanna play injustice 3 I love mk1 but y’all cry about every Fucking thing
How to fix the next Mortal Kombat: 1. Make female characters sexy again. I want skin. I want boobs. I want wide hips. Mortal Kombat was always ultra violet and ultra sexy. Nowadays it isn't anymore. 2. Piss off with all of those variations. MKX introduced them. MK11 somehow made them worse. MK1 brought them back as kameos. Just give me one, strong character. 3. Enough with the anti-consumer microtransactions BS from Warner Bros. I don't want finished characters to be locked behind a preorder "bonus" or 10 dollar skins. 4. No more censoring. Which is essentially a continuation of point 1. Show tits and butts. Mortal Kombat is directed towards a mature audience. 5. Fire Derek Whateverhissurname is. The guy you have working on Invasions. That was one of the worst modes in gaming in a very long time. Playing PVE in Mortal Kombat feels absolutely terrible because many characters have so much health, armor and there is constant non-sense flying all over the screen which stuns you out of combos. That's not fun. Having my combos interrupted by random garbage in a fighting game isn't good game design. 6. Communicate more with the player base. I don't give a F*** if WB is making it harder for you. But not addressing player concerns for god damn weeks like your community managers are tweeting about American Football is a terrible experience for the fan base. 7. Fix your god damn inputs and combo structures. Why are Street Fighter 6 and TEKKEN 8 easier to play than Mortal Kombat 1? It's ridiculous. I don't want to ever again see cancel characters from NRS which MK1 is filled with. Having cancel requirements on Smoke for the most basic BnB combos feels absolutely horrible since I have to work 5 times harder to get the same shit Baraka gets for zero execution.
Yes finally someone said it! And fire that confused delusional jack ass "stephanie" Enough with the BS. Keep female characters female and keep male characters male. Bring back the dark, edgey MK.
I agree for the most part but micros will forever be there. I guarantee these mileena and kitana skins have sold. For character proportions because the characters are smaller than they were in mk9 and x mileena does have big tits. But to go on, Derek and Stephanie need to be fired. How does the qa lead miss all these bugs and get to have a job? Derek doesn’t know what a fun mode is. To get a better mode story mode has to be scaled back in terms of budget and size. It’s a literal marvel movie and I bet it’s over half the games budget. Krushing blows made more money than kameos, they should come back but only be the games counter hit system and change the properties of special moves. Like mileena ball roll don’t launch but if you land a counter hit during they combo it will. Give you access to your best combo routes like street fighter does.
I haven’t brought it. I wasn’t paying 70 bucks. I’m 44 years old. That is not a 70 dollar game. I just watch high level play. It is a crazy sell so…..maybe.
@dorianmoore8705 the game literally died and ret🫵ards like you still cope with the you're broke bs, you wasted your money, cry a river and live with it.
I was just saying kameos just have been integrated in a 2v2 system. Instead of a Kameo roster we should have just had the main roster with kameo specials. That way you can pair any fighter together.
@@adonbanchamek2254 No, it's Boon's fault that NRS pumped out a bad game that normies did not like. Anyone with half a brain could have looked at what NRS was making and told them it would go over poorly but NRS is in a bubble. They are an echo chamber of people working beyond their skill level.
At this point I don't really care who's fault it is, WB definitely has a hold on NetherRealm but it doesn't really help that we've essentially been eating the schloop they've been serving since mk11. I love Mortal Kombat but I don't love this, it's trying to be Marvel Kombat or whatever it's trying to be but itself
After how disappointed I was with MK11, I’m glad I didn’t purchase this game. It makes me very sad with the state of MK. Grew up with the series and seeing it turn from one of my favorites to what it is now is really sad to witness.
I listened to many hours of 16 bit on the Kombat tomb podcast to the point they almost feel like an old friend I fell out with, as I reflect on all those conversations I listened to before they joined NRS I can't help but feel you are right, 16 bits always been an Nrs shill and basically played no other fighting games, they had terrible ideas about MK and certain characters back then and it seems mirrored in the current product
MK1 shoots itself in the foot then pauses and considers its action before shooting itself in the other foot...and some people are acting shocked that it can't run a marathon? WAKE UP! People need to stop believing everything Boon says. He lies and oversells constantly and consistently. The cope over how this is "all WBs fault" is pathetic. WB did not decide to redo the entire system for Mortal Kombat YET AGAIN instead of iterating. WB did not decide to restructure a zillion things but worse as compared to previous games. WB did not decide to have a god awful story reboot AGAIN. That stuff was done by NRS. NRS hobbled the game out of the gate. How can anyone be shocked that a terrible story with a terrible product has terrible sales for its overpriced terrible DLC? GTFO So goofy MK fans are getting what they deserve at this point while I (an MK fan since the REAL MK1) am just standing on the sidelines shaking my head repeating my four favorite words: I TOLD YOU SO
NRS is simply a cash grab. Same stale formula, reinvent a game that freshness label lasts all of a month. New developer needed asap. MK has been done DEI dirty
I feel like we won't ever get a game like MK X again and thats so sad... I will never forget the hours that i spent playing that flawed, but goated game. Every single character was so unique, so expressive and enjoyable. Now it's this multiverse wattered down bullshit. Some of the characters I can't even recognize anymore. From now on, will be waiting for reviews before buying anything from Nrs ever again.
It's probably for the best to cancel KP3 and move on from MK1, and really reflect on what went wrong. For me, the questionable character design choices, the Kameo mechanics, and the convoluted story just didn't work. My favorite MK games were the original MK and MK2. I also wish move sets would stay consistent and carry over from game to game. Oh, and modern MK music is pretty uninspiring-it's just so boring to listen to. But that's just my opinion.
First MK game I didn't buy. As a spectator, it always looked like it had potential but felt unfinished..... it's gonna stay that way apparently I guess?
C'mon guys the proof is in the pudding'. They're already recycling invasions mode..... Even Derek didn't show up for the last Kombat Kast. Thank God this trash fire has finally burned out. Hope you still post something Tom, love your videos bro.
FateUnknown just came out with another leak (his last leak apparently) saying they were planning to release another Kombat Pack with Jade, Sonya, Cassie, Kano, Kung Jin and only one guest, but that WB forced them to cease work and move on to the next thing.
@@unrankedchevron742 Why the same MK characters that are already playable in the past games for Kombat Pack 3? No Shokan like Kintaro? No 3D era characters? No new MK characters like Tasia or No-Face? Glad it's for the best to cancel KP3...whew.
Everyone was gushing over MK1 when it was announced and I was one of the only people saying that it is going to suck ... now, finally, I feel vindicated ...
I’m glad khaos reigns didn’t sell , don’t regret not getting it or those crappy DLC,I’m not hoping for an injustice game because it’s just not going to be good imo , if they make a MK in the future it’s too late because they couldn’t stick to the same gameplay they had from mk9-mkx , too long now to be expecting or waiting around , might be nrs downfall idk 🤷♂️
I love it. Woke gaming studios are burning left and right. Soon jobless devs can play their diverse slop themselves while at home while us gamers play old games. Everybody wins!
Talk that shit Tom!!! You earned this day. I'm close to your age, at 43...but this is a day that I've been waiting for. MK needs to be burned to the ground and left to settle for a few years.
Got the game near release and it didnt last long(i just checked i have 24hr playtime on mk1 so as u can see it lasted maybe a week - 2weeks at most with spread out gametime) and i already knew the game was dogshit and unfinished. Havent gone back since and regret massively purchasing the game
Honestly Tom I’m really glad this game’s support is done, I hope for the future the next MK game gets developed by an entire new team that actually care about the series with actual good content with no micro transactions for a pricy game, as well have writers that understands the lore and not drastically change characters to the rate where they’re unrecognizable personality wise. (Also love that Joey Swoll reference)
Between a myriad of bad choices (too many guests, not enough mk originals, lack of content, aggressive monetization, lackluster choices, odd character choices, kameos and poor balance) this was bound to come eventually.
This was already set in stone. This is why the sseason was reset to season 1. They're working on injustice 3 or something DC related to run simultaneously with the new DCU movies. Superman drops 2025.
@@Terminated_Account Nope that's not what they said. WB said they're focusing on MK Batman Arkham series and DC AKA INJUSTICE. Looks like it's going to be sooner than you think kiddo
@@just_2swiftUse your brain man, if they are focusing on MK, and they normally release MK, IJ, MK, when do you think they'll be able to squeeze an injustice game that gives pennies compared to Mortal Kombat??? also you just assume Dc=IJ?????? they make a lot of other DC games, its common sense "kiddo".
The reality is, a shallow fighting game that sells in the short term, is better for companies than a deep fighter that may or may not sell in the long term. For one thing, it keeps the bar low, so that subsequent projects are easer to develop. Perhaps of import, however, it ensures that players are not stuck on one game in a series, which then becomes a roadblock for future iterations. When your targe audience are the least discerning customers, it only makes sense to pander to them. Lastly, casuals have goldfish memories -- they won't remember "Boon's broken promises" in a few years time, any more than they do what they learnt in remedial math class.
They need a serious reboot and to get back to its roots. We need it to get back to its dark style. Every time they add too many new fighters like they did in 10, the game sucks. This game is pretty much all new characters, because they changed everyone. The story was trash because there is just too damn many good guys and not enough bad guys.
Because NRS themselves have said that they always try to outdo themselves when it comes to dlc. Mk9 had 5 dlc mkx had 8 and mk11 had 12. Ed said he was gonna try to do more than that, once t-1000 or conan comes out they will be at 12
wait technically didn’t mk11 have 3. Kombat pack 1 was spawn, nightwolf, shang, sindel, joker, and term. and the second being fujin, robocop, and sheeva. Last being rain, mileena and Rambo.
As someone who loves MK this game is honestly terrible I wanted to play noob saibot but my brain wont let me spend the extra 8 dollars on the game based on how bad it is especially when you consider how terrible they treated sub zero. I wont be buying the next one
The game is trash , there’s no gaslighting in the world that can tell me this game is actually fun It’s slow, online is trash, story is trash Poke poke poke Gameplay is trash The game doesn’t feel like a fighting game I want my $30 back for picking this slop up
there are a lot of people who refuse to say anything negative because they dont want their privileged access revoked because WB and NRS are incredibly sensitive. contrast this with other franchises, like SF, where one of the top players spent 6 years non stop shitting on the things he hated (netcode in particular) and didnt get blacklisted at all, and even pushed capcom to prioritize good rollback netcode for the next game
What’s funny is that SF6 is just a dry desert, dripping avatar items(which 80% of the western fanbase ignores) but the base game was beloved, and it’s not street fighter V
I hope you read comments. Not sure why you want to stop making videos. Who cares if there is a little toxiciety in the community. (after all this is the internet). I like your perspectives and you should keep building. There are creators like Dynasty who aren't even good at the game with over 500k subs, and True Underdog lol. We always like to hear from the OGs of the FGC. I don't skip many of your solo uploads and hot takes on the gaming industry. I hope you decide to stick around.
True, but what i think mark is missing is how their mother companies react to that situation. WB is probably one of the worst mother companies alongside ea, they ain't giving any studio or ip to take their time on making their games actually good let alone a cash grab like mk. It probably will only get worse from now on in the next games till wb sells the ip
as a single player product, SFV was worse yes. But SFV was successful as an esport which set up SFV for a strong recovery with the champion edition/arcade edition whatever it was called. MK1 flopped immediately on the competitive scene
I went from playing in an 8-man tournament to win a Jersey Mike's sandwich at EB Games all the way to EVO years later. I only got involved in the community and started competing because of Tom. What a journey. I'll miss you, brother 🫡 thanks for keeping it real. Hope this isn't the last we've seen of you.

As much as I want to agree with you it’s kinda ours. We should’ve returned the game the moment we played it lmao
youre the problem
@@dorianmoore8705ah yes he’s the problem for calling out random gender swaps oh characters that were already in the game as kameo’s.
@@Los-0120 I pre-ordered it, Didn't even launch the game. I had to stand on my morales
"woke" despite the game being ass you clowns are really fucking stupid, and you don't wanna learn. Figures, it's never gonna change.
Man I wonder what Roofelmonger has to say about this after he dragged MK fans wanting MK characters in a MK game
Helllllloooooooooo and Gooooodbyeeee
His goofy ass REALLY thought Conan and T1000 selling more than an actual MK character was a good thing
😂😆😆🤣🤣😅😅😂😆🤣😅
@@kzakulenga5138well, ghostface sold yesterday more than Cyrax Sektor and Noob
@@kzakulenga5138 lmao imagine picking Conan over Onaga
Rooflemonger is a dumbass.. Ppl like him that thinks random stupid guest characters sell the game is the reason it's over
Lol, was wishing you’d make a video on this, really hope we see you next game.
Take care Brady, thanks for everything.
Boring game, uninspired character design and kameos were a bad idea. Oh, and I forgot that terrible multiverse bullshit, that allows NRS to create more terrible designs and variations for each character.
and youre the problem ass hole
Don’t forget the horrible online
if at least the gameplay was good and the characters had a well-designed gameplan it could have saved the game, I think
I agree 100 percent!
Ok this might be because I’m not a boomer or an og mk fan but I don’t see what’s so wrong with this game I mean mkx and mk11 was way better but still I don’t see what’s that bad about the game can you explain more?
Christmas came early boys
Oh hell yeah
Y'all should read my comment
but! seriously! I've started to practice on Tekken and I don't think I can ever look back to NRS games again
@@arjunratnadev I grew up playing Tekken 3 and it was my Favorite game back then, When Tekken 7 came out. the online experience was very bad and so were the servers at least for me. by that time I tried MK11. anyway fast forward to today. I'm vibing with Tekken 8. I'm never touching anything MK related. that was a mistake
@@morganfeeman8527oh I did 😂
MK9 days are missed
Mannn 😢
@@mattsikaz8920 Truly the best mk
mk 9 was trash
MK9 is the best MK game ever made.
@@Sir.Wiggalotacually the best mk is mkx
Ed wasn't lying when he said "YEARS OF CONTENT AND THIS IS YEAR 2" In ED talk that means Years = 2, so job done.
To be fair Ed hasn't worked in mortal kombat since the 90's. He made the product and sold it off. Only thing he does is oversee and gives his options on the story and how the characters should look. When Netherrealm has anything new to show they ask him to be the one to show it off out of respect.
Warner Brothers are the real creators of the franchise now, but mk1 went down hill as soon as they hires men with dresses.
This is more Wanner Bros than NRS you have to remember that Ed Boon dosent own NRS Wanner Bros dose so its very likely this is Wanner Bros decision more so than his
This is what they get. Alienate your og fanbase to cater towards a generation who doesn't care for mk and its lore also having short attention spans. All they care about is guest characters thats why Mk1 has so many. This was a big mistake.
Yeah they set themselves up for failure. Mk11 fostered a playerbase of yes-men and spoonfed babies. Even if they released a good game id be surprised to see it succeed. This dev team seems too incompetent to keep up a good game, let alone rescue a game thats garbage on release.
every other match is against omni man its disquisting
@@artofgardunoalmost like he’s wrong and the guest characters were very successful.
Barely anyone even bought quan chi for example
@@KnucklesWTD The post clearly went over your head. You must fall into the demographic I'm referencing
@@just_2swift people have cried about guests since every game since MK9 and yet they always sell the most.
There’s nothing to “go over my head”
Also most of the MK audience was always casuals who beat story at quit.
MK 11 sold on hype that will never be replicated. It used the movie and the old theme to market it. It also couldn't be that bad because it sold more than double of what Street Fighter 5 did. Give 11 it's respect!!
Facts.
11 got hype coz of X
@maskedvigilantee2050 go back and watch that launch trailer or was going to sell off of that alone. Plus, it also had a beta/demo so people knew what they were getting. Did MK1?
@Vancerova I don't like mk1 bro I'm just surprised you think marketing initiatives alone made them sell and neglecting the fact that mkx made people have high hopes for the game
@@maskedvigilantee2050I agree me and my friends was hype for mk11 because we thought they would build off mkx when we first saw the gameplay everybody was so disappointed
Fix MK:
Make the game darker/grittier
Bring back sexual/sensuality in female characters
Bring back stage fatalities
Bring back slower play with more weight to the punches/kicks
Remove Kameo and Variation systems
Remove the goofy stages (i.e., Cage)
Remove comic book type guest characters that belong in Injustice
Make the game more martial arts-like
Everything fix except your first point is trahh
I mean the chaos reign literally made the game darker it didn't fix the game. They do have sexy character there just not strippers the og mk games wasn't overly sexualized either so no. Stage fatalities is cool but so was animal ones but that didn't save the game. MKx was one of the best games because of its fast gameplay so no let's not make it slower. Yes get rid of kameos,this game literally has the coolest stage designs lol. There's no point of having honelander or ombiman in a injustice game the point of having them is there violance so no.
Things to actually fix the game
Stop being greedy as fuck
Get rid of kameos
Have multiple customization slots
Get rid of the multiverse shit
Have an actually complete restart
Better default designs
Make online more enjoyable
Bring back an exploring world like the 3d era of mk people been asking this for years there just ignoring fans at this point.
and you know what- THEY WILL NEVER DO THIS...lool
( but you needed to include a krypt mode and a konquest mode)
We don't need to serialized the females to make it a good game😂 this isn't an anime game bro
@HolyParsival they were sexy before- even in the trilogy days- I say bring sexy back, sex sells bruv
The difference between SFV and MK1 is that the audience actually punished Capcom with low sales and poor reviews, thereby forcing the company to overhaul its approach moving forward. MK’s audience should’ve punished NRS for abandoning MK11 the way they did, but the initial reception of MK1 communicated to NRS and WB that they wouldn’t face repercussions for it.
theres also a point not enough people are saying; "Support" doesnt mean dlc charachters ,just balance patches could be considered support simple as that
Ed Boon obviously implied more kontent as in KP3... he explained there was going to be for years to come "now its year 2"
A fighting game with no balance patch is a dead game
I knew Kahos Reigns failed when i saw a huge price drop a couple of weeks ago
Also for the people that don't believes this, FATE has been right since MK11 he was the first guy that reported characters like Kollector and Frost months before their reveal
This is unfortunate, but definitely could’ve seen it coming. I bet Kameos won’t be back next game lol
each games gimmick never make a return in the next game..
Hopefully, it doesn't come back. It's the worst part of the game in my opinion
Ill be so glad if Kameos never comeback
Right they are so cheap and stupid thing nrs did
@slowmojo9355
My two BIG MISTAKES: pre-ordering MK1 and buying KP2. Never ever do this with NRS\WB games.
Just dont preorder in general
I learned that with MK11, and I learned well, I didn’t buy this one
Your only mistake was buying the DLC. I can't understand why you would have done that smh
Definitely big mistake pre ordering , I feel your pain. And my dumbass brought Khaos after two or three outs and now it’s 50-60% off. Could have waited. But I’m loving noob so I ain’t crying.
You deserve to get screwed over for buying this trash and then you buy the slop dlc lmao
Mk9&mkx will always be the goat
Fax
Better that we know in advanced then what happened with mk11. I remember we waited 6 or 8 months for them to tell us out if the blue that they were done
But Foxy said this was the best MK ever and we were all just crying! 😂😂😂 we just can't stop winning
lol what a moron he is 😂
Y’all lame y’all want this game to do bad bruh y’all ain’t real Fucking fans I’m really hurt rn knowing mk1 might end ion wanna play injustice 3 I love mk1 but y’all cry about every Fucking thing
Didn't he quit and come back like a dog multiple times ? Only reason he came back was for the tournament money.
Don´t trust furries. They only want to shag your dog.
Brady wins. Flawless victory
Yet the he she sits up there with its legs crossed on the kombat kast acting mightier then thou😂😂
Ed boon dont have control of his own game. No wonder the game is so bad. Wb looking at ed boon like "i am the captain now."
How to fix the next Mortal Kombat:
1. Make female characters sexy again. I want skin. I want boobs. I want wide hips. Mortal Kombat was always ultra violet and ultra sexy. Nowadays it isn't anymore.
2. Piss off with all of those variations. MKX introduced them. MK11 somehow made them worse. MK1 brought them back as kameos. Just give me one, strong character.
3. Enough with the anti-consumer microtransactions BS from Warner Bros. I don't want finished characters to be locked behind a preorder "bonus" or 10 dollar skins.
4. No more censoring. Which is essentially a continuation of point 1. Show tits and butts. Mortal Kombat is directed towards a mature audience.
5. Fire Derek Whateverhissurname is. The guy you have working on Invasions. That was one of the worst modes in gaming in a very long time. Playing PVE in Mortal Kombat feels absolutely terrible because many characters have so much health, armor and there is constant non-sense flying all over the screen which stuns you out of combos. That's not fun. Having my combos interrupted by random garbage in a fighting game isn't good game design.
6. Communicate more with the player base. I don't give a F*** if WB is making it harder for you. But not addressing player concerns for god damn weeks like your community managers are tweeting about American Football is a terrible experience for the fan base.
7. Fix your god damn inputs and combo structures. Why are Street Fighter 6 and TEKKEN 8 easier to play than Mortal Kombat 1? It's ridiculous. I don't want to ever again see cancel characters from NRS which MK1 is filled with. Having cancel requirements on Smoke for the most basic BnB combos feels absolutely horrible since I have to work 5 times harder to get the same shit Baraka gets for zero execution.
Yes finally someone said it! And fire that confused delusional jack ass "stephanie" Enough with the BS. Keep female characters female and keep male characters male. Bring back the dark, edgey MK.
I agree for the most part but micros will forever be there. I guarantee these mileena and kitana skins have sold. For character proportions because the characters are smaller than they were in mk9 and x mileena does have big tits. But to go on, Derek and Stephanie need to be fired. How does the qa lead miss all these bugs and get to have a job? Derek doesn’t know what a fun mode is. To get a better mode story mode has to be scaled back in terms of budget and size. It’s a literal marvel movie and I bet it’s over half the games budget. Krushing blows made more money than kameos, they should come back but only be the games counter hit system and change the properties of special moves. Like mileena ball roll don’t launch but if you land a counter hit during they combo it will. Give you access to your best combo routes like street fighter does.
@@EldritchUniverse 7 is a skill issue
Get rid of Fatboy Tyler and Stephen as well
you have 2 poinst addressing tits...
the budget went to animal finisher that nobody usees
Hey they were charging for Christmas and Halloween fatalities I'm surprised the animality were free
It's a B.S. statement anyway.
Bruh the mk community was asking for animalalities tf you lying about lol.
Animal finisher? Yeah you clearly dont play. 😂
I use them
I haven’t brought it. I wasn’t paying 70 bucks. I’m 44 years old. That is not a 70 dollar game. I just watch high level play. It is a crazy sell so…..maybe.
Smart man right here.
Money well managed.
youre just broke then
@@dorianmoore8705He's broke for not buying a mediocre fighting game? 🤣
@dorianmoore8705 the game literally died and ret🫵ards like you still cope with the you're broke bs, you wasted your money, cry a river and live with it.
When it comes to how things look: Get woke, go broke.
Add to that all the other problems.
If they turned kameos into characters and removed kameos. I will say thats a step in the right direction
Riiiiiiight…
I was just saying kameos just have been integrated in a 2v2 system. Instead of a Kameo roster we should have just had the main roster with kameo specials. That way you can pair any fighter together.
They already got their money. No reason or incentive to do that
I still like the kamo system but they should have made it 2v2 and singles
Ed boons lies rival Todd Howard's at this point
Sad but true
Isn't it WB's fault tho ?
@@adonbanchamek2254 No, it's Boon's fault that NRS pumped out a bad game that normies did not like. Anyone with half a brain could have looked at what NRS was making and told them it would go over poorly but NRS is in a bubble. They are an echo chamber of people working beyond their skill level.
At this point I don't really care who's fault it is, WB definitely has a hold on NetherRealm but it doesn't really help that we've essentially been eating the schloop they've been serving since mk11. I love Mortal Kombat but I don't love this, it's trying to be Marvel Kombat or whatever it's trying to be but itself
@jtotheoey2423 its trying to be the MCU
i know it felt good for you to get that off your chest, but it felt good to my ears to hear it! keep preaching man
I miss the MKX days. I played that game religiously but the ones after never appealed to me at all
I played it religiously as well. Did all of my friends who bought it. To this day we still play it. It was the most fun next to MK9
After how disappointed I was with MK11, I’m glad I didn’t purchase this game. It makes me very sad with the state of MK. Grew up with the series and seeing it turn from one of my favorites to what it is now is really sad to witness.
Oh my God dude, what did they do to Sektor & Cyrax
Tom, Mortal Kombat 1 is done because Stephanie Brownback and Sonic Fox who've been fighting against u and perfect legend, ruined it.
This franchise fully transitioned into something awful, uh?
Facts!
@@kunklorddave6916 I mean Kung Lao and Subzero are pretty bad in this game. Looks on purpose too with all the crazy stuff in the game 🤨
Its Steve bareback!
F that made up name , mk should be taken away from nrs completely
I listened to many hours of 16 bit on the Kombat tomb podcast to the point they almost feel like an old friend I fell out with, as I reflect on all those conversations I listened to before they joined NRS I can't help but feel you are right, 16 bits always been an Nrs shill and basically played no other fighting games, they had terrible ideas about MK and certain characters back then and it seems mirrored in the current product
MK1 shoots itself in the foot then pauses and considers its action before shooting itself in the other foot...and some people are acting shocked that it can't run a marathon?
WAKE UP! People need to stop believing everything Boon says. He lies and oversells constantly and consistently. The cope over how this is "all WBs fault" is pathetic. WB did not decide to redo the entire system for Mortal Kombat YET AGAIN instead of iterating. WB did not decide to restructure a zillion things but worse as compared to previous games. WB did not decide to have a god awful story reboot AGAIN.
That stuff was done by NRS.
NRS hobbled the game out of the gate.
How can anyone be shocked that a terrible story with a terrible product has terrible sales for its overpriced terrible DLC? GTFO
So goofy
MK fans are getting what they deserve at this point while I (an MK fan since the REAL MK1) am just standing on the sidelines shaking my head repeating my four favorite words:
I
TOLD
YOU
SO
Lol hearing Tom roast MK1 and NRS while the dramatic UMK3 plays in the background 😂
They completely deserve it. The shills, NRS and WB.
Shills are in SHAMBLES 💀💀💀💀💀
Bruskpoet been quiet ASF since Post Khaos Reigns
NRS is simply a cash grab. Same stale formula, reinvent a game that freshness label lasts all of a month. New developer needed asap. MK has been done DEI dirty
I feel like we won't ever get a game like MK X again and thats so sad... I will never forget the hours that i spent playing that flawed, but goated game. Every single character was so unique, so expressive and enjoyable. Now it's this multiverse wattered down bullshit. Some of the characters I can't even recognize anymore. From now on, will be waiting for reviews before buying anything from Nrs ever again.
Learned from 11. Never again.
It's probably for the best to cancel KP3 and move on from MK1, and really reflect on what went wrong. For me, the questionable character design choices, the Kameo mechanics, and the convoluted story just didn't work. My favorite MK games were the original MK and MK2. I also wish move sets would stay consistent and carry over from game to game. Oh, and modern MK music is pretty uninspiring-it's just so boring to listen to. But that's just my opinion.
I love the mk3 pit theme in the background of the video like its awaiting mk1s execution and fatality 😂
all they gotta do is release a new invasions map, it'll all be fine guys
So glad i didn't spend a dime or penny.
Mk1 is such a garbage game. Absolutely hate the kameo System and the woke character Designs.
gender swapped Sektor n Cyrax i think did it for most.
The women look like men in this game lol.
it's not garbage, but I do agree with your points. MK is a 1v1 game, and the gender swaps are not necessary. they can just make new characters
Also Ed said: “Planned” to do years of support
He's told what to say and always leaves room for plausible deniability.
Don’t ride off into the sunset Tom, we need you!
First MK game I didn't buy. As a spectator, it always looked like it had potential but felt unfinished..... it's gonna stay that way apparently I guess?
C'mon guys the proof is in the pudding'. They're already recycling invasions mode..... Even Derek didn't show up for the last Kombat Kast. Thank God this trash fire has finally burned out. Hope you still post something Tom, love your videos bro.
Thank you Tom for your dedication and all you have done to tell the truth and keep it real with us. We hope to hear from you again
FateUnknown just came out with another leak (his last leak apparently) saying they were planning to release another Kombat Pack with Jade, Sonya, Cassie, Kano, Kung Jin and only one guest, but that WB forced them to cease work and move on to the next thing.
yes thats why tom brady made this video lol
@@artofgardunoThe leak I'm talking about came after this video was published.
@@unrankedchevron742 Why the same MK characters that are already playable in the past games for Kombat Pack 3? No Shokan like Kintaro? No 3D era characters? No new MK characters like Tasia or No-Face? Glad it's for the best to cancel KP3...whew.
Glad they’re putting this disaster out of its misery.
Everyone was gushing over MK1 when it was announced and I was one of the only people saying that it is going to suck ... now, finally, I feel vindicated ...
I’m glad khaos reigns didn’t sell , don’t regret not getting it or those crappy DLC,I’m not hoping for an injustice game because it’s just not going to be good imo , if they make a MK in the future it’s too late because they couldn’t stick to the same gameplay they had from mk9-mkx , too long now to be expecting or waiting around , might be nrs downfall idk 🤷♂️
They needed a mode w/out cameos, sexy women, no 40% combos. ..more serious/mature mood, tag team.
Chaos reigns was so mediocre to charge so much, if this is true idk how NRS can save any type of face at this point it’s comical.
They need to stop the time-line bullshit and the guest characters
I love it. Woke gaming studios are burning left and right. Soon jobless devs can play their diverse slop themselves while at home while us gamers play old games. Everybody wins!
Agreed. SBI unfortunately tainted MK1. No thanks!
Talk that shit Tom!!! You earned this day.
I'm close to your age, at 43...but this is a day that I've been waiting for. MK needs to be burned to the ground and left to settle for a few years.
If true honestly I'm glad MK needs a REAL reboot get MK back to its roots!
Trash game. Bring back MK9 legacy style
Gross
I miss Mk3 style of fighting
I regret pre-order n playing early 😢 never again.
Honestly a mystery how Ed Boon still has a job, destroyed MK as a franchise
Got the game near release and it didnt last long(i just checked i have 24hr playtime on mk1 so as u can see it lasted maybe a week - 2weeks at most with spread out gametime) and i already knew the game was dogshit and unfinished. Havent gone back since and regret massively purchasing the game
Honestly Tom I’m really glad this game’s support is done, I hope for the future the next MK game gets developed by an entire new team that actually care about the series with actual good content with no micro transactions for a pricy game, as well have writers that understands the lore and not drastically change characters to the rate where they’re unrecognizable personality wise. (Also love that Joey Swoll reference)
I was getting cooked for saying all this same stuff and told I was saying it cuz I’m trash 🤣🤣🤣
Between a myriad of bad choices (too many guests, not enough mk originals, lack of content, aggressive monetization, lackluster choices, odd character choices, kameos and poor balance) this was bound to come eventually.
This was already set in stone. This is why the sseason was reset to season 1.
They're working on injustice 3 or something DC related to run simultaneously with the new DCU movies. Superman drops 2025.
That makes sense. You play any mkx swift?
Nope, WB said they will focus on MK, dont expect injustice for a long ass time.
@@Terminated_Account Nope that's not what they said. WB said they're focusing on MK Batman Arkham series and DC AKA INJUSTICE.
Looks like it's going to be sooner than you think kiddo
@@somethingclever3714 Yes I do. I'm down for games
@@just_2swiftUse your brain man, if they are focusing on MK, and they normally release MK, IJ, MK, when do you think they'll be able to squeeze an injustice game that gives pennies compared to Mortal Kombat??? also you just assume Dc=IJ?????? they make a lot of other DC games, its common sense "kiddo".
The reality is, a shallow fighting game that sells in the short term, is better for companies than a deep fighter that may or may not sell in the long term. For one thing, it keeps the bar low, so that subsequent projects are easer to develop. Perhaps of import, however, it ensures that players are not stuck on one game in a series, which then becomes a roadblock for future iterations. When your targe audience are the least discerning customers, it only makes sense to pander to them. Lastly, casuals have goldfish memories -- they won't remember "Boon's broken promises" in a few years time, any more than they do what they learnt in remedial math class.
This game wasnt rushed;; this was always the end game state. Now they'll hype up their next game in hopes of screwing more people over. For 2 years.
They made kuai liang as scorpion. End off.
Everyone loved MKX
Everyone wanted more MKX
NR makes 11 & 1 the opposite of MKX
This is basic supply & demand
You demand and starvation
I had a feeling this would be my last MK (NRS) when it came out. I’ve come to terms with that, but it still pisses me off
They need a serious reboot and to get back to its roots. We need it to get back to its dark style. Every time they add too many new fighters like they did in 10, the game sucks. This game is pretty much all new characters, because they changed everyone. The story was trash because there is just too damn many good guys and not enough bad guys.
The community has been coping for this game since the REVEAL TRAILER. This is the first MK game I skipped since Armageddon.
I'm sorry for all that got the game and had to go through this , never got it I got Tekken 8 instead I'm very very very happy , seriously sad for mk.
Yeah I got street fighter 6 and tekken 8 instead of mortal kombat 1
Tekken 8 isn’t good either
Tom, I really enjoy the videos you make. I would hope you continue, whether it be MK or anything else.
who ever decided to turn male characters female should be fired. real men dont want dei bs
"and honestly good riddance !" LOLOL🤣
There's literally never been 3 Kombat Packs. I don't know why anybody would have even expected it.
Because shills and fanboys kept defending this game and how succesful it was
Because Boon said so himself.
Because NRS themselves have said that they always try to outdo themselves when it comes to dlc. Mk9 had 5 dlc mkx had 8 and mk11 had 12. Ed said he was gonna try to do more than that, once t-1000 or conan comes out they will be at 12
I didn't expect a Kombat Pack 3. Only expected 2
wait technically didn’t mk11 have 3. Kombat pack 1 was spawn, nightwolf, shang, sindel, joker, and term. and the second being fujin, robocop, and sheeva. Last being rain, mileena and Rambo.
As someone who loves MK this game is honestly terrible I wanted to play noob saibot but my brain wont let me spend the extra 8 dollars on the game based on how bad it is especially when you consider how terrible they treated sub zero. I wont be buying the next one
The game is trash , there’s no gaslighting in the world that can tell me this game is actually fun
It’s slow, online is trash, story is trash
Poke poke poke
Gameplay is trash
The game doesn’t feel like a fighting game
I want my $30 back for picking this slop up
there are a lot of people who refuse to say anything negative because they dont want their privileged access revoked because WB and NRS are incredibly sensitive. contrast this with other franchises, like SF, where one of the top players spent 6 years non stop shitting on the things he hated (netcode in particular) and didnt get blacklisted at all, and even pushed capcom to prioritize good rollback netcode for the next game
The only thing they can do is make all cameos regular characters
Lmao what an entitled thing to say
Every community melting down about their game, not realizing the entire industry as a whole is dying.
This game has permanently damaged mk's reputation for me, at least nrs's reputation for good
Real MK fans knew we weren’t gonna see a kp3
I said it 3 months in. The game wouldn't be supported longer just the same support slower.
What’s funny is that SF6 is just a dry desert, dripping avatar items(which 80% of the western fanbase ignores) but the base game was beloved, and it’s not street fighter V
I hope you read comments. Not sure why you want to stop making videos. Who cares if there is a little toxiciety in the community. (after all this is the internet). I like your perspectives and you should keep building. There are creators like Dynasty who aren't even good at the game with over 500k subs, and True Underdog lol. We always like to hear from the OGs of the FGC. I don't skip many of your solo uploads and hot takes on the gaming industry. I hope you decide to stick around.
men a love your passion for the franchise and that take on min 13:15 is gold 🤣
Sorry tom mk1 wasnt worst than sf5 on launch. It didnt even have a story mode...litteraly verses, training and online
True, but what i think mark is missing is how their mother companies react to that situation. WB is probably one of the worst mother companies alongside ea, they ain't giving any studio or ip to take their time on making their games actually good let alone a cash grab like mk. It probably will only get worse from now on in the next games till wb sells the ip
as a single player product, SFV was worse yes. But SFV was successful as an esport which set up SFV for a strong recovery with the champion edition/arcade edition whatever it was called. MK1 flopped immediately on the competitive scene
I went from playing in an 8-man tournament to win a Jersey Mike's sandwich at EB Games all the way to EVO years later. I only got involved in the community and started competing because of Tom. What a journey. I'll miss you, brother 🫡 thanks for keeping it real. Hope this isn't the last we've seen of you.
