Tho nitara's gameplay is actually a lot of fun for me
they tend to wash rinse repeat characters. if you noticed in mk11 the street urchin skarlet being groomed by shao khan is similar to Kira being picked up by kabal in mkD. so I think they did that with nitara having her bio similar to Dvorah.
Onion rings
I Don't See problem with Havoc and Nitara and Ashra I like the Characters either way 😤
@@TheScorpiokoreaThey honestly didn’t know what to do with Nitara in the story she’s inconsistent first they make it seem like she has a point of view that feeding off people isn’t evil and then says in a evil way her people are coming to feed off the inhabitants, you fight her consistently through the story as two sub demons and don’t even get the skins, also you’d think her main issue would be since there’s the Tarkat disease their feeding sources has became slim so she should be trying to cure the disease instead of potentially becoming Tarkat Vampires
When Megan Fox couldn’t even be bothered to try Nitara’s battle grunts and that role had to be filled by CRISTINA VEE.
Oh my god I knew her grunts sounded familiar
That’s like hiring Stephen Hawking to teach you boxing to then get Mike Tyson to fill in on how to sway.
Hopefully she fully takes over for the next game seriously it's Christina fucking vee
Wow, didn't even know that. It's one thing to do a job & not care, but she can go ef herself.
Christina Vee from Blazblue lol
They ruined the whole roster. With a few excteptions. Not just the 3D era characters.
restarting the timeline felt like a sneaky excuse to make MK for "modern audiences"
Make a tournament for mk content creators
Im scared for kabal if he returns because they might use that ugly ponytail they used for the past kabal in mk11
They had Nitara sound like Meg from Family Guy.😂
Yeah but Meg is likeable
Completely different voice actress but okay
@@ozziaheeyote3861people can be different and have similar voices
Havik and Nitara’s design was so much better in the 3D Era
You're absolutely spitting my man, havik and nitara's 3D era designs just hit differently than their new ones.
I like The Characters either way with old designs or New Designs or New Voices 😤👍🏻
Meh
I wouldn't say that at all, their designs are good in both the old games and MK1
@@chrange9714sorry but, I have to disagree with you I don't have any hate for your opinion. But I love the OG havik and nitara way more than their newer looks.
It’s abysmal how Megan Fox got to voice a character but Antony Starr didn’t get to voice Homelander
I'm pretty sure Antony Starr didn't do Homelander by choice, Netherrealm would've killed to get him but he doesn't like playing him I think
@@bunnymaanNah, he said it was something to do with them not paying him enough. I think they blew their whole budget on stars like Megan, John Cena and JK Simmons and probably tried to talk Antony Starr into accepting less. He voiced Call of Duty, so he doesn’t have an issue with games.
@@RatedRRaj oh Alr mb I didn’t hear abt that just that he declined
Aside from humans relationship as food, how is Nitara evil? In the story I thought she was trying to save her people (just like our group).
But like. She eat people? Right? So? Not helpful?
@@T.R.A.S.K.7POV: she's not evil to her people.
She wasnt saving them, she just makes them more powerful
@@redacted2275imo they just did nothing with her and that’s why I don’t like her other than her design and voice, but shes inconsistent af she says at the beginning just because she feeds off blood doesn’t make her kind evil and then proceeds later to say she’s gonna use all her people to feed off the inhabitants?? They didn’t know what to do with her character so bad that Nitara became fodder, if you think I’m lying there are two boss fights where you fight demons with Nitaras moveset and you don’t even get their skins as a reward, her character is so irrelevant she didn’t even have a Titan form
@@firesparks22yeah but she’s obviously not a common vampire, they never established any of her peoples physiology or traits, does it have to be human blood?? And why would you want Outworld blood anyway there’s a disease out? You’d think she’d be more into trying to cure the disease so her people can have a clean feeding source before anything, and again there are so many mythological creatures in Outworld I find it hard to believe
I think if Skarlet were in the game she’d be a doctor before anything just because her main weapon of choice itself is compromised
I can't help but feel part 2 of the story mode is going to develop Havik a lot more.
I do agree about Nitara though. It feels like a wasted opportunity to reintroduce her. Megan wasn't the right voice for her. A pity
I don’t even think Liu Kang universe havik will be in it
That's what i keep saying to
1:30 I also have a similar question about Mk1's Scorpion ... why the fck they even came up with the idea of making Kuai Liang Scorpion in the first place and ruin my favorite character of all time
They could have actually kept Hanzo as Scorpion but have him and Bi Han as blood brothers. Then they could have made Kuai Liang Noob Saibot.
@@hershin they could literally do anything else ... and it would be less stupid than what they gave us 😭
@@iamaidabishes Every single problem with this game indicates that they rushed it. It's like they just threw a bunch of random ideas together in a brainstorming session and decided to go with every stupid idea. A very sad situation for us die hard MK fans.
@@hershinI don't know if this has been confirmed or not, but I heard a few times that this game was originally meant to be an Injustice game, but it got changed, probably during the very early production stages, so that, alongside the fact that the game was being produced during the pandemic and the game's current unfinished state, seem to support the fact that, holy crap, the game was rushed.
@@vaggos2003 I've heard the same rumour. This was supposed to be an Injustice game. That's why they have the stupid Kameo thing. Kameos would have made more sense in an Injustice game (Batman with Robin as a Kameo, etc). Instead, we get a rushed MK with bits that make no sense. Aside from that, to wait for a full year to get all the characters in Kombat Pack 1 is just insane.
Chaos realm existing wouldn't make any sense with Liu Kang overseeing time
That’s what I’m thinking too. I mean what good reason for Liu Kang have to keep Chaos Realm around? It never help them or did anything beneficial before I don’t see why he wouldn’t get rid of it.
I believe that Liu Kang would have purposely tried to take Havik out of the timeline, though since some things are just fated to happen, so Dairou ends up becoming Havik instead.
@@sleepylmguy9968because Chaos realm also has a komidogu and that’s supposed to help keep the entire universe together I’m pretty sure, also Chaos realm isn’t evil,when Shujinko went over there Havok taught him that they believe that chaos is just a natural part of life and cannot exist without chaos, so they don’t believe in established governments or following one set of rules or traditions, it’s like if you made a sand castle, a person from chaos realm would kick it down not because they are seemingly evil but because you could just build a bigger and better sandcastle, it’s that principle why they hate Order Realm
If vaeternus can exist than chaos realm should too. Vaeternus is worse than the chaos realm
@@jashin888Pretty much this in addition to the fact that Orderrealm *isn't* necessarily good as the person above you pointed out. Vaeternus as it exists in _M1K_ is a *far* bigger threat than Chaosrealm and Havik ever were, even in the tie-in comic book with that Blood Code nonsense. It becomes even more a plot hole between Chaosrealm previously being necessary for universal stablity *and* given that the far worse Netherrrealm still exists in _M1K_ too. Even as someone who missed all of the 3D era games, it becomes even more jarring because I'm like 99% sure that Liu Kang and original Havik literally never interacted.
I guess I could see it as Fire God Liu Kang being a bit myopic about "chaos = bad", but it sure isn't presented that way.
It's a shame midway didn't have an 8th kamidogu in the vampire realm for Shujinko to explore for. A vampire kamidogu.
mk1 is my first exposure to mk lore so i dont approach this with the same nostalgia for the characters but personally i like havik. i think the idea of a guy whose people have been oppressed to the point of radicalization but in the completely wrong direction is interesting. he hates orderrealm because of the way orderrealm treats him and his caste so he becomes the antithesis to everything orderrealm stands for
i personally dont like nitara but i also feel like she isnt really evil in mk1 either. she has a goal, which is to remedy vaeturius's hunger crisis, and shes simply willing to do whatever it takes to keep her people from starving. shes putting her people above the rest, sure, but its not out of her being evil or having some sort of a supremacist ideology. instead, she wants to pick up the slack where she believes the systems around her failed. i dont like nitara and i feel like netherrealm wanted to present a weird moral dillemma to make the players 'think', it feels very fake deep to me lol, but i still wouldnt say shes a generic evil vampire. generic vampire is more like eliza from tekken 7, i think nitara has more to her than that
He used to laugh a lot too. But we got the real Havik at the end of the game.
Kinda late though, he probably won’t be relevant in the story for the rest of the game and might not even be in the sequel, at least there’s Titan havik
I hate what they did with rain making him a mage instead of a demi god ninja was an L
Rain is still rain either way, as long as he’s still purple and has his water powers
W wym
@@okryo266 apparently in this timeline rain is not a demi god, he’s a wizard with water powers
Literally, he was better as a water ninja
Rain water ninja was way better no doubt they ruined so much in this game unfortunately that's sucks man I hate the new era bs if it was mk12 I bet the game was so much better and even had more sells the new era just ruined everything
NRS ruined both Liu Kang and Shao Kahn. But way back in Mortal Kombat 9 they ruined Shang Tsung with Quan Chi.
It made me mad that L Kang ditched his time keeper position. It just seems so irresponsible to me.
Sooo, Liu Kang was able to recreate the universe. He couldn’t outright get rid of people, for reasons, as pointed out over and over in the story mode and by characters. But he was able to totally wipe away an entire realm? Ummmm, ok.
I loved Nitara in the 3D era games because she was neutral and had so much character depth.
I like the Characters either way 3d era or New Eras😤👍🏻
Agree
You Agree with me
@@whiteboynintendops5gamer1991OK kid.
They ruined Tanya with that ugly design too
Agree. But apparently if you hate it your racist lmao 😂 which is stupid since Tanya OG look was the Best
@@maverick9357 just the design bro, im fine with her being black. But the way how she looked right now was like a complete revamp her design, its like shes completely a different character.
@@ashuea2 what do you mean? She's always been black since mk4 lmao I'm literally talking about her look/design.
Is jade wakanda Walmart version now
At least they didn’t give her an African accent 😂😂
In the new era, I think the original Havik was killed, and Dairou took his place, like the student becoming the teacher.
I really like Havik in this game honestly,i understand why some people hate it but for me,i like his personality and his gameplay even more,and especially his looks
His personality sucks but I’m glad they’re gonna forget about it and bring back old havik’s personality, suggested from his arcade ending and keeper of time havik coming
I love havik and nitara in this one
New havik is a fresh new version of him, people are trippin fr
@@ZaneLofton- exactly it’s a fresh new version that sucks, you’re trippin
Hopefully story dlc gives him a proper shot
I feel like these are fair points, but also this is the entire point of redoing the timeline, so that things don't have to be exactly the same. Though I would point out that in the story, they reduced the nuance to a line where she explains drinking blood doesn't make them evil.
I dont like how Raiden and Kung Lao are so similar. They have almost the same style. I wouldve liked if they had more an own style, they looks kinda like bland farmers, nothing special about them now... From being a powerful elder god to just a farmer with a straw hat. In the beginning I had problems to know who was who because of the similar hats and outfits
Raiden gets a special amulet to give him Thunder powers
Kung Lao gets wind because he is Kung Lao lmao
I loved Nitatara but Megan Fox ruined her for me. Not only can I not take her seriously, but the face is uncanny.
I agree Megan fox have no place in Mortal Kombat
Definitely agree, should have been Cristina Vee
Incell😂 shes good
I think other 3D characters were also done a disservice, too. Darrius is one, and that's maybe in part because he's a Kameo, but also because there's no Hotaru in game. Darrius is not the Seidan loyalist, instead of the leader of the resistance against its tyrannical government. It's a pretty big change, I would say. The other who has been done a disservice, in my opinion, is Reiko. In the game shows him as a (in my opinion) generic military man, loyal to General Shao but nothing beyond that. It may be a silly aspect (and heaven forbid modern MK characters be silly, right? Goodness, we need Mokap for some levity), but his obsession with Shao Kahn in the original games was one of the major aspects of the original timeline. He didn't just follow Shao Kahn, he wanted to *be* Shao Kahn, and would even dress up like him, sneaking into the throne room to put on the helmet. It may have been a bit of a retcon to make him like that starting in Deception, but it's a personality he had, at least.
Even Ashrah seems to have been flattened as a character. In the original timeline, she may have been a good person, but Datusha was evil things without her knowing it. But, I think the sword is one that actually purifies one's soul now. Sure, there's intro dialogue that may suggest it's never going to do it (absolution always seeming just out of reach), but then you look at her dialogues with Liu Kang, and never once does he raise concerns about the sword and its actions, and instead implies it's on the level. Considering Liu Kang should know everything about Datusha, that's evidence that said aspect isn't a thing now.
Come to think of it, it's interesting how many of the returning 3D characters were in Deception, either debuting or at least showing up there. Nitara and Reiko weren't (at least not playable--Konquest is a different story), but Ashrah, Havik, Darrius, and Shujinko debuted there (as did Dairou, but I still don't want to believe that the Havik we see is actually the Dairou we played as before, because that's ridiculous), and meanwhile Tanya made a return in that game, with Kenshi and Li Mei carrying over from Deadly Alliance (and Frost doing so in Unchained). Not only that, but Onaga is heavily referenced, and Damashi is again used as a deceptive alias. Maybe there's nothing to that, but it feels important. Deadly Alliance didn't get as much reference (woo, Shang Tsung and Quan Chi are teaming up. Again. How many times is that now?), and Armageddon is really only given as a backdrop for the final battle, which is not even nearly the same circumstances which caused the original timeline's Armageddon to happen, so it just feels like nostalgic window dressing (and yes, Argus and Delia are referenced in the game, so there's that, but they and their children are the only Edenian deities who have been shown as of yet--and Argus is really the only one at that, since Delia is a sorceress, not a goddess, which is important to the story of Taven and Daegon, since they're not full gods, and that would have been remedied for whoever defeated Blaze).
Greetings from Brazil! Keep making this good MK1 and Tekken videos.
Opa, mais um brazuca
Boa tarde irmão
@@jmssnettoopa, boa tardee!! 😂😊
@@intoxishawn.sempre pô, me divirto com esses videos. Hahaha
Let’s be honest here they gave Havik Diarou’s name because he was a very forgettable character. And it gives more meaning to Havik story I don’t see a problem here.
-Nitara's Stupid Onion Head Base Skin and Render Ruins Her image (union of light skin doesn't help, looks like Injustice 2 wonder woman)
-Reiko needs to more Moves and magic and he needs to be More Smartass
-Ashrah she needs to be hotter Demon (Her Hair is Stupid) and Stupid yoga Pants. her base skin and Render Ruins Her image
-Li Mei Looks good but we had higher exceptions (more like Idol Cutie) but as character she is Bland
-Tanya Uglier and as Character she looks less charming and Boring
-Havik He looks like NPC character.
For me they butchered almost whole roster. And lore.
Haviks fighting style would fit meat better. I don't like how he rips of his limbs & separates his body. It was a lot creepier when he would break & contort his body with his skin twising with him.
Anyone else disappointed in reptiles new design. In my opinion I think his reptile form just looks goofy is prefer if he would just turn into his mkx design when he would switch forms
I thought this was a different universe so anyone can be vastly differently.
True but they absolutely ruined nitara and especially havik
@@rotemegozi1044At least they showed the actual Havik in the post credit
@@outsmartyouroutsmarting467could’ve just had the actual havik from the start
Would’ve made more sense if they were good changes though, don’t change what’s not broken
And that which you just said is one of the most annoying things when discussing the game and in a way one of the most annoying things about the game itself.
A lot of the story and aestgetic critisisms can just be deflected with "lol, it's a new timeline, get over the previous ones" to which I respond with "good, then I don't need to care about this series anymore, because the series itself doesn't care about its own continuity and lore anymore", because now not only everything pre-established has changed so much, both in- and out-of-universe, that almost all connections to the past of the series are lost or unrecognisably altered, up to the point where the series doesn't even feel like itself anymore. And what makes long-term investment even harder is that feeling at the back of our heads that even this new status quo that was created to replace the status quo we've been following for years that was created to replace the previous status quo can be replaced with an even brander newer status quo on a whim.
About time some big creators are speaking up about all this bs, hopefully it encourages them to get some actual talent in the story room or w.e
multiverse bs is so played out at this point. just give me a prequel game so i can see the very 1st tournament, see what the great kung lao is up to. thats what i thought MK1 was gonna be before they revealed it smh
Would be cool if they have great kung lao as dlc and maybe prime Goro too, could be explained with the timeline being screwed up
I would love if Nitara's voice was actually done by Beata Pozniak (Skarlet's Mk11 voice actress) and Nitara also had hexes and spells in her moveset. Mk1 Nitara comes across as childish, immature, and unwise despite her age as a long lived vampire and it would have helped as you said if NRS had maintained her 3d era characterization and Pozniak's voice would've aided in that endeavor. I think if they wanted Megan Fox to be Nitara so badly why not just do what they did with Jean Claude Van Damme and make a separate skin for Nitara with Fox's likeness and voice and the default version was done by someone who actually fit the role. I would also add that Tanya also did get very good treatment in terms of her character and she has been made completely unrecognizable. Very good points and love the video.
I actually liked Havik in MK1, I actually really dig the revolutionary with extremely shotty logic to the point he's even trying to free people who aren't even slaves and I actually really like the direction they go with him and Rain in the tower endings. My biggest issue is why the hell is he just a jobber? I think if they bring in Hotaru they can give Havik more to do and make him less a jobber and more a secondary villain. Just do more with this guy, he has depth handed to you in a silver platter netherrealm, please don't let this guy join Reiko and Shao in the jobber category.
havik the main villian in DLC so wouldn't worry he'll get his due
Hell Shao has even less reason to be in the jobber category than havik
Underdawg, do you see NRS coming in and redoing Nitara's lines with another voice at some point? Kinda like they did with MK11's Sonya, Johnny and Raiden?
Fuck, I hope so.
To be honest, Netherrealm probably hates Nitara and Havik. And even if they did like these characters, wb maybe responsible for their change of character.
Havik is ruined. First off, him being Dairou is as grossly offensive as Kuai Liang being Scorpion. Probably worse. STOP IT! I hate NRS. It’s so annoying. Havik is always shouting and angry and that’s just not Havik. He originally had this smooth whispery voice. It’s a subversion of what you’d expect from a man that looks like that and THAT is CHAOS! He’s not even a chaosrealmer as pointed out in the video. And for a guy all about chaos, he’s very totalitarian which is disgusting. “By force”? HAVIK WOULD NEVER SAY THIS! And he’s a jobber in the story. He’s just awful. And I hate the ridiculous way he gets his face.
Nitara as stated in the video is just an evil character. Nothing to her. She used to be so cool and cunning but made good on her promises.
Now lemme ask this, why? Just why did NRS/WBS think that it was a good idea to bring in Megan Fox of all people to voice Nitara and change everything about her and Havik completely? I understand that it’s Liu Kang’s new timeline and all that, don’t get me wrong, but having to bring back nostalgic mk characters from the 3d era only to strip them from what made them unique was a total letdown.
"And remember, stayyyyyyyyy undergawwwwwg.." -- I got you covered....
They ruined my favorite character Rain
I think Shao Kahn got the worst treatment. Yeah, I said Shao Kahn, f**k that "General Shao" bullshit.
Yeah let's not also not forget how they ruined my boy Bi-Han as well. Sure he was never a good guy but also he was never a straight up villain like how they made him in mk1. In talking about when he was still sub zero
They did my boy Raiden all wrong, performance-wise.
I miss the days when he used to fly at his opponent while yelling *Furaingu Sandaa Rei!* (lit. "Flying Thunder Ray")
But Ed Boon took that away from his character for cultural appropriation bullsh!t, because it seemed in the early MK games that they were "mocking Asian people".
They did change havik, but I still like how he’s trying to cause chaos! Freedom! And he’s my main since day 1 hahaha
He's less of a troll though, they made him too serious 😢
@@maylabrown4584true. And I know it’s not trolling but one of his best lines is
Sub zero: do you have a problem with ice?
Havik: water should be free 😂
He went from a true chaotic force to a baby anarchist.
I'm Havik main as well but don't really understand the lore and why does he say "I WILL have freedom" like what does he even talking about lol
MK 1 havik wanting chaos wouldn't be a problem if they didn't label him as an anarchist.
the new designs are absolutely azz like if kids are gonna play this game its the parents fault, we need the original ninja skins!!
Since MKX the series became a cheap MCU copycat with millions of universes and nostalgia bait.
TrueunderdawgGaming: why you gotta ruin Havik & Nitara?
Liu Kang: timelines have given many possibilities which is not my own doing, and would you rather hear Ronda Rousey voice Nitara instead?
Ronda would have done a better job 💀
Watch out, you'll have the Rousey fanatics insisting she'd do bett- whoops, too late.
@@iisanulquiorrahara8 I'm not a Rousey fan, I just know anyone could have done a better job than Megan lmao
Honestly, I would rather take Adam Sandler voicing her because Megan Fox is one of the worst actresses in cinematic history, and that's how bad it is.
The answer is Yes, liu kang
They have allowed woke to ruin mk I mean seriously..
what is woke about havik or nitara lol

Netherrealm is own by WB and WB owns DC comics and that's what they been doing to their characters. So I'm honestly not surprised they did that lmao They could of done it like Tekken and made a new character like how there was a female and male raven. But they won't. It sucks
@@maverick9357 Bro what? I never said anything about DC lol
@@mkfan6167 you really don't get it. DC and mortal Kombat are both own by Warner Bros. They race swapped or gender swapped characters in their media🤦🏿♂️ hell they even made mortal Kombat comics that was published by DC
I really, really, really hate Megan Foxx's gargantuan pink hat, like wtf are you wearing?
Looking forward to reviewing the game that you’re going to make for everyone
Tanya and ashrah are just the ugliest designs. Li Mei is a grandma when she was hot before and Nitara not as sexy as she used ro be. MK11 DIGGED THE GRAVE AND MK1 killed MK. I'm done with MK and especially with wOke WB games.
One of the main reasons of the failure of this new game is their notoriously politics on it,mixing up the cast,taking away their main roster originality & uniqueness,NRS is lacking of creativity lately on this game particularly,shao Kahn is a copycat of steppenwolf,they never should go this route,the emperor of outworld always had is own essence,the same pointed by you with havic mixing up with Dairu,unnecessary elimination of the chaosrealm,nitaras lore,we the core fans want more skin showing on female characters,NRS including Ed boon himself is behaving like a whoke modern parent with us the fandom,they think they know what we want but are more far more disconnected from us than ever b4‼️😠
They charge you money for a skin thats 80% accurate for Nitara what a shame. Horrible voice acting and terrible choice of 3d character modelling. So bland, afraid of showing attractive women but not afraid of showing shirtless men showing alot of skin
The 3d Era Mk games were my favorite of all mortal kombat games. It's a shame I waited 17 years to see a lot of the 3d Era characters return wasted on ruined backgrounds and a terrible game. Nitara is my favorite female in mk. Li Mei was one of my other favs. So yeah pretty triggered.
Gameplay and graphics will get better with time, but you can't auto-generate a good back story or character. It's clear that the talented people who worked for NRS aren't there anymore or at least don't have the same passion. The game isn't bad, but it's definitely worse than its predecessors.
Hey guess what? New universe new characters. Who cares how the old ones were, they did amazing with the fighting and that's all that really matters in a fighting game. Megan Fox did fine I think with voice acting you think you can do better? Maybe you should have voiced acted for a character or given them an idea of how to make characters next time.
Going off the dairou aspect of this I don’t find a problem there because scorpion is kuai liang and they changed who raiden was, so I don’t think that part was as bad as changing the background completely
But they made scorpion kuai liang and raiden Liu Kang, actually interesting characters whereas no one gives a fuck about dairou
It's worth noting that apparently Quan Chi gave Havik his regeneration, so should those get taken away, he would just be Dairou.
Could be worth noting since we got Titan Havik
@@IkeFanBoy64 not really since they’ll never take his powers away
@@Deathmare235 I'm just saying it as good for thought
Justice For The Ruined Characters! For Sindel, For D'Vorah, For Havik! For Everyone, That Was Ruined!
Except Dairou and Hsu Hao. These Two Can Stay Gone. (Also I Really Want To Like Nitara. I'm Trying.)
Its not a problem of a bunch of character… they ruined EVERY design in mk1… I really hate This characterization
They also ruined Tanya. She was treasonous and duplicitous. That's what made her fun. Now she's a boring and bland royal guard. She's basically a completely different character. They only share a name.
Yea they fucked up havik. His design is off and his backstory is beyond fucked and he doesn't act like the OG havik. Also he did jack shit in the story. Havik has always been hyped from 3d era fans and I wouldn't blame new players to get confused behind the hype of the og after seeing this one.
Nitara design sucks with her best costumes being paid or you had to get it from her event. Yea her voice sucks as well and she as well did fuck all in the story.
I would argue tanya sucks as well since she is nothing like her character as she has no character in this game other than are you ok mileena. Her desing is crap as well.
True, they made nitara a basic jobber with bad hair styles with her skins and the voice lines are terrible….and havik the troll of Mk and now he crys about freedom and is not havik its dairou, reiko is not a ninja at all and is another jobber too
Yes they ruined the fan favorite characters then wonder why nobody is playing the game anymore.....😮
If anyone it was Bo' Rai Cho that got ruined!
nitara looks like an unfinished zbrush sculpt wearing Christmas decorations
havik also looks terrible he should of just been a mysterious skeleton warrior not some angry burn victim
most the character designs are bland and ugly, raiden and kung lao look like little plasticine boys
the current devs at NRS come across like clueless unpaid interns not actually creative talent like capcom
the whole game is void of the iconic MK stamp its so sad to see it slip into such a generic boring presentation
The original Havik's calm voice felt a little creepy. Like on the outside (despite his appearance lol) made him seem pretty chill but you could tell there was barely contained violence and chaos just boiling beneath the surface. I think Nitara's MK1 design is "okay" in my opinion but good lord I don't know what the devil they were thinking with her voice man. The vampire being a neutral manipulator was very interesting. Not for malevolent intentions but to free her realm from Outworld. And even then, kept her end of the bargain with Cyrax though still kind of screwed over Reptile.
I just don't think this alternate timelines and constant reboot BS is needed and is just annoying to us longtime MK fans.
MK1 didn't ruin them. NRS and WB ruined them.
NGL storywise aside i actually dig Nitara especially Havik's design on this game and it's a bit better than their Deception and Armageddon counterparts
While i have no problems with Havik (And to his voice actor who did JUSTICE of voicing him) the same can't be said about Nitara and my problem about her is: *WHY DID THEY DECIDED* to put Megan Fox as Nitara's voice actress?
Don't get me wrong i really *REALLY LOVED* her performance in Jennifer's Body but *WHY HER?* There's A LOT of talented Artists out there that can voice Nitara VERY WELL hell! This makes Ronda Rousey's Sonya in MK11 looked like an oscar winning performance (But to Rousey's credit AT LEAST SHE TRIED AND KINDA NAILED voicing Sonya Blade in most of the scenes in MK11 unlike Fox WHO DIDN'T EVEN TRY IN THE FIRST PLACE)
Let’s be honest each game mk has released after Mkx has really hurt their studio. Mk1 is such a let down
I'm Havik main just because I enjoy his gameplay but I feel like the 3D era Havik was so much better in terms of personality and how he acts/talks/look
Top 5 hardest characters to master in mk1?
Off the top of my head is kenshi & rain that’s it.
I cant tell you the easiest 😭 1. johnny 2. sub 3. scorp 4. omni-man 5. reiko
Anyone who isn’t Raiden ,Johnny, or Omni-Man they are the most responsive characters in the game
@@Josiah_leatonScorpion and Sub have easy but generally useless kits, pokes and mix ups are their strongest features but to do the only combos that make them have viable damage are harder to implement compared to some other characters, also with those characters you have to learn how to eat unnecessary damage and be patient af because so many other things out frame yours, it’s like Sub and Scorpion can be easy but playing with them is like playing on hard mode
Why DID NRS DO THIS? Because we’re not woke enough 😂😂😂
They did the same crap to Sindel in MK 11. The writers have 0 imgination
Let agree that NRS can make cool gameplay to fit a character
But not the story that fit the characters
MK needs a true reboot at this point. Redo everything eith no timeline garbage. Maybe make a return to 3D fighting, especially after seeing Tekken do it well.
Or make a continuation to Armageddon to show what happens if the good guys won.
also Scorpion's origin that change from Hanzo to KL , MK1 realm are mess
Gee I wonder why liu kang didn't make a new chaos realm
My moat hated change was making the tarkatins a disease instead of a race
Titan havik can fix this. The havik now it dariou anyways
This is what happens when you hire activists instead of writers
The thing is with nitara is that netherrealm is the same studio that made sindel evil just because she looked evil so they probably had the same viewpoint for her
all the characters were ruined, not just havik and nitara
Call me a mad man but even if I know Havik is the cleric of chaos but in ways I kinda like this take on Havik because Liu Kang wouldn’t want chaos realm to be a thing so he removed it and if they go this root which I hope they do Havik makes Chaos realm because Shang-Tsung entered his timeline and powered Dairou who is Havik
Now they’re reverting havik so he’s back to his old self, it’s basically pointless
What about every single other character they made worse in MK1?
Sup
they ruined a lot of things. the story was made some multiverse superheroic B S. they already ruined char designs especially fems because of Woke B S since MK11, now they even ruined char acterorigins. they also ruined the gameplay with those kameos and making Scorpion and Subzero weak tiers. customization is a circus in the last 2 games, no creative costumes only 1000s of awful recolors. this is what happens when you give control of the company to some troll (isnt even funny at all) and some steffie or whatever I dont even want to describe him hahah :D
💯
I couldn't disagree more. Nitara is one of my favorites and I think Megan Fox did fine. I don't see what everyone expects from Nitara's voice. I do agree with the fact that they pushed Ashra really hard. I think she was really off the radar in the earlier games and they wanted her to stand out. What do you think Nitara's voice should sound like?
Havik is one of my mains in Mk1. I liked his character, for the most part, but now with the context of his characterization in the 3d area, I think he’s lackluster.
It feels like NRS wanted to cater to fans like me who weren’t around for the 3d era games, and as a result made Havik and Nitara generic baddies to fight in story mode. It’s almost insulting, as someone invested in Mk’s story.
Havik was my dude, now he's just some dude
Nitara isn’t Nitara. She’s Megan Fox in MK1
2:20 Bi Han really said "oh, oh scaaaaryyy! Oh, oh shiver me timbers! Shut up man!" 💀
Great video. I enjoy going back and looking back at the original complexity of these characters. I appreciate your passion for the lore and characters.
Forgot to mention Reiko, was a conqueror turned into a lapdog -.-
He was always a lapdog his whole thing was being bootleg shao Khan
@@Doyoueverwonderwhywerehere on the MKX comics he was an amazing character and very important to the series.
I feel like you’re overreacting.
NRS writers are trash
As the whole devs team
