My answer: Not yet, but is the right step to walk, this patch improved many things and I'm glad that characters and kameos have better options, still is not enough, they still to fix other issues that are not addressing yet like the online. Glad that NRS FINALLY did this, still they have a long way to go.
All I can say is, the game is finally playable and enjoyable. At least now it feels like a full game. Many characters still have too few options. But I cant be negative on the game right now.
Characters like Kung lao need some buffs to be more viable on their own. Certain characters have everything without needing meter or Kameo assistance. This is fun, and every main character deserves to be like this.
Until they game gets 1v1 and more specials to compliment assist-less gameplay, it's all shifting deck chairs on the Titanic. Just ask yourself: Will you go back to MK1 once it's abandoned?... That will tell you if the game can be "fixed" or not.
The problem with the game is beyond balance. Is the vibe, the changes on the characters, the cameo system, the clean and sweerbaby style. Tre problem is the backbone. Gameplay could be better after couple of patches in that direction, but the soul will still off.
@@PewPewShootEmUp lmaooooo idk mannn some of the buffs are questionable e.g. nitaras dive kick they gotta be sensible with the buffs and buff every main char to dlc level
All I'm going to say is it's a year out, and we still don't even have menu options like online practice or whatever the hell the warrior shrine is. They're about to announce year 2 later today. They better offer some kind of discount to those of us who spent 110 bucks on this game at launch. Keep in mind it went on sale for 40 bucks for the premium edition 4 months after it was released.
This minimal patch was conveniently released shortly before NRS announced their next paid installment for the narrative. If you offer NRS any positive feedback that supports sales of that installment, you can expect a repeat of this past year’s experience.
That’s what’s frustrating to me. I absolutely love this franchise have since I was little kid when I started with MK2 but I also hate it lately with corporate fingers on it and how they just drop it
Still needs QOL changes. Mainly returning all of the missing features (Rooms/Lobbies, Win Odds, Custom Gear Loadouts, AI Fighters). I know it won't happen, but I hope they delete Invasions and bring back Towers.
I heard another pro TH-camr on his channel states he spoke to devs at Evo, and they are not done. They will be buffing in waves, this is the first. That's why characters like Havik and Shang weren't touch.
Really enjoyed listening to use and all your points. Clearly passionate about the game and i agree they need to buff sub with a keep out game and shorten cameo times that are low tier 😊
What about Kung Lao? He’s still very plane.. Nitara for example, has everything that KL lacks. He should have his teleport back or gain a free teleport when combined with KL Kameo. Each main character should be evenly buffed/balanced.
People too stuck on the fact that Lao has armored launcher. This patch was okay but there is still a TON of room for improvement. IMO all MCs need the dlc treatment
@amosuawoyemi9959 Really? I missed it! I have been very concerned. Reo contributed a lot to all of my siblings and my growth. He really got me together on zoning.
It was mentioned that he is working but I noticed Soup (Insuperable) was playing MK9 with him and he was trying to convince him to return which led me to believe he doesn't want to bad mouth MK so he is staying away. However he has not publicly released any reason outside of M2Dave and Tom saying that he had to work. I don't think his reason is the same reason Crimson left the podcast. My guess is he doesn't like MK1 and doesn't want to publicly bash the game for he spoke highly of all the MK games even when MK11 had problems he still spoke highly about MK11. Only real concrete reveal is that he has to work.
Can't bring myself to come back. I play SF6 and have a blast. I fire up Tekken 8 and it's not really my type of game but it's fun and I enjoy my time on it. I fire up MK1 and I'm bored within an hour of playing.
For Frost, I would do a cancel where she puts up the wall and then summon the orb. Maybe change the speed or make it where if you get frozen you get more damage. Like a trap. Just spit balling 😂
Gonna be honest Imma wait for SDCC for the mk1 booth to see what they got in the future but if it’s not good den I can’t do this anymore I gotta delete this game🤦🏾♂️
I think the biggest turn off for me is the speed of the game. It’s just way too slow imo, I’m not saying it has to be as fast as mkx but it shouldn’t be slower than mk11
I signed up for MK1 for CEO I just couldn't care enough to show up as a subzero player he just doesn't feel like sub but this patch makes me want to play again I wish he could combo into ice ball
this patch improved MK1 by miles i actually have fun playing the game, it’s a lot better and will only go even further. (hopefully) here’s the BIGGEST PROBLEM. the power in the game is now heavily on one side. the game is being dominated by characters that can fly or levitate. sindel, homelander still, omni man, ermac, tanya (can levitate), NITARA. besides Johnny (because he’s plus 1million on everything). if your character is grounded, you’re gonna have a harder time than not. especially if you’re playing a character that can’t get a back throw combo with your kameo, versus one of those characters that can. this is a big problem that people will recognize soon. you just can’t keep up with those characters very well at all.
I am someone who struggles with flying characters, but I don't think what you said. Almost everyone has a decent anti air to knock people out of the sky.
@@Lance.Gardenhire the anti airs aren’t the problem if someone is locked into jumping towards you. if you’re using nitara you can just do whatever you please in the sky. I go to anti air you, and you just fly back, now i’m the one being punished. that’s stupid
@@KingJadInfiniteHope Well you can do that on the ground too. You can dash in, and if you expect that they are going to try to hit you while you are doing so you can stop and dash back, catch them doing something unsafe, and hit them with a full combo. That's a normal thing in fighting games. That's a big strategy for Scorpion, I expect Takeda will do the same, and other characters who have moves that allow them to start combos from a bit further away.
@@Lance.Gardenhire it’s not about back dashing, if you’re playing against someone like nitara or homelander, anti airing them is almost completely out of the question, because the second you swing they instantly move back. unless you know your opponent which won’t happen in a ft2 on ranked (which it should be ft3), you have to make the hardest read ever. if you swing and miss that’s basically death.
To be frank I have pretty good feeling that... This live service and drip feeding formula is what is causing most modern games to suck on release including Mortal Kombat... Selling fans half baked games is actually intentionally and by design.. The internet is partly to blame for unleashing corporate greed... Gone are the deception days when they would put every idea they had into work and release it at once before they left... There was no Internet so they had one shot and always made it count. Nowadays... They intentionally make them half baked so they can keep giving you contents so when its time to release the new dlc .... You are in a happy state and will be willing to give them your money... Isnt it convenient that game expansion is about to be released they are fixing the kameo system.... They wanna prime us and make us willing to spend...The formula works and they will stick to thay.. MK2 will be no different this is how its always gonna be so we better start getting used to it..
ferra is the most fun kameo to use in this entire game, now imagine if they released her the way they initially intended. remember, they literally said on twitter that she was “too powerful” to release when she was supposed to release. I know for a fact, that version is even better (fun wise) than this one.
The new patch could make MK1 the greatest MK that has ever existed and it wouldnt matter. The damage has been done and it's too late, this is not recoverable. All that's left now if for MK1 to continue to live in a coma where on a competitive level where only Sonic Fox and 8 other people care while the rest of the casuals that left have already moved on to something else and wont come back.
it’s never going to be the greatest MK because it’s a team based game. no matter how fun this game is, that one feature completely ruins it. i think the game is actually fun to play now (mostly), but i will always hate the team aspect. it’s “Mortal Kombat”, when in the story has it ever been anything but 1 versus 1.
@@KingJadInfiniteHopecasuals leave no matter what if they find even little things wrong with the game so this op is just butt lol this is easily a top 3 main mk game ever and the kameo hate is funny cus the minute mk does a assist game tie em to the cross 💀💀
wasted one EVO because patches/changes werent released before it. lets see if this game is even supposed to last longer than the usual 2 years of NRS games.
YAYYYY! If Tom feels very positive about the new BUFF patch like I do, then the game must be stepping HUGELY into the right direction! He analyzes the HELL outta the game, and I was waiting eagerly for him to dissect the patch and find massive problems with it that would reinforce the idea that it’s a non-competitive party game, but we’re both hopeful about power levels, balance and variety improving! SO many viable kameos now, it seems: Ferra, Frost, Sektor, Cyrax, Darrius, Goro, Scorpion, and still Khammy, Janet, maybe still Lao and Kano. My girl LI MEI gets MORE buffs! She almost seems OP now! I want ALL characters to be great for me to play or fight but not TOO OP! Takeda is SOOO fun. This guy has a ton of combo routes and hopefully many of them are optimals. Hell: his meterless, kameoless TELEPORT combos look AWESOME and have decent damage. Now the Expansion pack is coming as expected. I REALLY hope we get more dlc characters after KP2. Let’s keep this game going! 😵😱 I hope NRS doesn’t go to Injustice 3 after KP2 is fully released. I will HAPPILY pay for more content! 😮
As a Geras main who thought he was getting buffs, this was a disappointing patch. I greatly enjoyed the buffs to the kameos, especially since I dropped Sektor because I didn't feel he did enough compared to Motaro, and now he certainly justifies his use, but Geras HIMSELF just needs help. I feel like they need to make his f1 9 frames instead of 11, its already so stubby and his d1 has ZERO range so f1 could be that mid poke he really needs. They should also make his db4 air hitbox larger, people jump the hitbox CONSTANTLY, which makes zero sense considering its supposed to be a solid anti-air. I'd also make his b1 like 2 frames faster, I think its currently 14 and it shouldn't be THAT slow. Then maybe give him another new string that gives him an hourglass charge, or allows another tick throw situation. He just needs more options that aren't all death on block and help set up pressure and throws.
Go back Mortal Kombat 11 then. A one versus one mode will not happen in this game. I'm no fan of the kameo system either, but I'm not going constantly complain about it for nearly a whole year later.
At this point in Ed boon's career, id muchrather see them do NON mortal kombat games. I think they'd make a kickass Survival Horror IP to the likes of resident evil and dead space
The changes that they made with the kameos and certain characters have improved the game decently, and Takeda and Ferra are very fun to play, but I guess you’d have to ask yourself if this is a case of “too little too late.” I don’t know if I feel that way but hopefully the year 2 reveal will shake things up even more.
I'm giving Netherealm high props for this patch. And the last few choices they've been making. From the time they brought back Cyrax and bumped up Sonya. Nerfing Johnny so tournaments won't be boring. Rain buffs. Man they just need to keep going. Thank goodness the game is looking up. They have been transparent as well. So good stuff with Ed Boon and the staff. 500% percent improvement definitely.
Also people like power that has counterplay that is reasonable. The problem was the excess boring pressure and plus on block strings enforced by Kameo safety. No one liked it. Not even the people playing honestly. It was such a boring and dry playstyle.
kameo availability isnt an issue if you have stupid stuff like Goro, which has like a cooldown of 38 or 40 seconds? And you use it and it deletes your entire healthbar.
Tom is more hopeful than Dave? 😂 interesting. The game is doing a lot better but still has a way to go to please more fans of characters that need their buffs too.
52:00 while its true that tournaments for the games with more entrants will likely have more hype, it doesnt mean the games with lower participation cant have alot of hype, king of fighters xv and under night 2 both got the crowd than mk1.
As long as WB has control over MK, the franchise will continue to falter. Every $5 skin bought is another reason they never have to change the approach.
13:33 💯 By the time the game gets its final update and it feels good, they make a new game and it’s entirely different. Then it’s another 2-4 years trying to perfect that game. It’s annoying and bad business but the Mortal Kombat name saves it.
Besides the common answer of being a long time MK fan, what are your reasons for continuing to play? If we all work together to find an answer we may understand you better. Why play a game you don't really like?
my fav part of this update is not being able to play online everytime I key up to play a match it just crashes I tried Uninstalling and redownloading the game. I payed 109 for the premium edition just for this game ti barely work when I wanna play it I'm done with this game. especially when they dunk a 50 dollar dlc on my head for sum that could have been 20 bucks
Combo trading is the death of mortal kombat. The imma do my over complicated combo for you to block and then you do yours. The first one to screw up their block game loses. There are no mechanics! Just combo spam, zoning, and exploits. I feel like the old dog howling at the moon now. The good ole days are dead.
Yeah this feels good. It's time to get back in mk and adapt. Just still a bit let down smoke is sooo pathetic and easy to deal with. Day 1 takedas beating day one of the best of the best smoke players 😂
Kamos are just bad they take from the characters' power, and most characters feel empty for it. Less strings less specials less power . Kamos are basically variations
Imo, they fixed the meta problem of the game. Khameleon feels balanced, homelander is not THAT op anymore and i feel the cast is more overall balanced. Just minor fixes going forward ti maintain this meta and it would be fine. Imo, the ONE thing this game shld do to redeem itself 100% is content. THATS the BIGGEST issue imo. I hate mk11 cuz it had ni content and not good gameplay. Mk1 has good gameplay but no content. Just give us test ur luck, 1v1s, the krypt(unlikely), challenge towers etc. just more stuff to do. Some of the stuff in invasions like quick draw, do a combo on the cyborgs, tym, survive could do for some nice gamemodes. Just give us stuff to do
He likes Mortal Kombat too much to not talk about it. Also, if he stops making Mortal Kombat kontent, his subs and views are going to massively drop off. Everyone watches Tom Brady for Mortal Kombat.
Exactly bro mk fans love getting complete slop & now they’re praising the game from one ok patch lmaooo These clowns are going to buy the next nrs slop game and be surprised when it’s even worse then this game
Yeah that's what you get when you release an unfinished product for $70 and drop terrible patches for a year. Not gonna start singing their praise because they took 1 step forward from 5 steps back.
@@buddhakai1458Most games today are “beta”, which adds new updates-patches and new stuff to their games and changes in their games and depending the feedback can maybe slightly have some other changes
We gonna forget MK on switch used PC footage to sell the game? Or microtransactions for costumes in the game you can get for free? No lobbies? 12$ fatalities?
The crowd for 3rd strike went half silent when the finals came up lol. Chun-Li always gonna rule the game. SF6 being won by punk and Arslan winning with Nina were way more hype I agree.
@@Timeforceletsgo lol because I don’t like this dumbed down unfinished money grabbing game? I didn’t say it was hard just sucks and I’m a Mk fan over all fighters
ice clone ice clone buff ice clone make ice clone 10 sec buff ice clone if buff ice clone mortal kombat 1 will be safe belive me i m 50 y old idiot belive me !
Too little too late. SF6 just got even more exciting with season 2 changes and seasonal character releases keep people interested. Tekken... it dwindles because its meta is also pretty stale but not 8 Cages in top 8 level of stale. But people won't be waiting around for a game to get good while other games they can grind exist.
The fact that Tom is positive, makes me hopeful can't wait to see his reaction to tonight's panel
My answer: Not yet, but is the right step to walk, this patch improved many things and I'm glad that characters and kameos have better options, still is not enough, they still to fix other issues that are not addressing yet like the online.

I don’t know if I feel that way but hopefully the year 2 reveal will shake things up even more.
no i does not, just for them to nerf tekeda into the ground in the coming weeks. the only good was him the kameo changes and lei mei, sub that's it
I'm giving Netherealm high props for this patch. And the last few choices they've been making. From the time they brought back Cyrax and bumped up Sonya. Nerfing Johnny so tournaments won't be boring. Rain buffs. Man they just need to keep going. Thank goodness the game is looking up. They have been transparent as well. So good stuff with Ed Boon and the staff. 500% percent improvement definitely.
Will the real Kung Lao please stand up?
I hope goro stays like that even tho it was not intentional with him no way lol
Also people like power that has counterplay that is reasonable. The problem was the excess boring pressure and plus on block strings enforced by Kameo safety.
No one liked it. Not even the people playing honestly. It was such a boring and dry playstyle.
kameo availability isnt an issue if you have stupid stuff like Goro, which has like a cooldown of 38 or 40 seconds? And you use it and it deletes your entire healthbar.
Tom is more hopeful than Dave? 😂 interesting. The game is doing a lot better but still has a way to go to please more fans of characters that need their buffs too.
KP2 seems to have solid direction, I could care less neither here nor there about Ghostface and Conan. This game has a lot of potential still imo
52:00 while its true that tournaments for the games with more entrants will likely have more hype, it doesnt mean the games with lower participation cant have alot of hype, king of fighters xv and under night 2 both got the crowd than mk1.
As long as WB has control over MK, the franchise will continue to falter. Every $5 skin bought is another reason they never have to change the approach.
13:33 💯 By the time the game gets its final update and it feels good, they make a new game and it’s entirely different. Then it’s another 2-4 years trying to perfect that game.
It’s annoying and bad business but the Mortal Kombat name saves it.
No I don't think it's enough.
Quit the game
@@jordansebert11 it's my decision to play offline. Not yours
@@christianhenry4173 wtf you on about that for?
@@christianhenry4173 okay well then go ahead and continue to do the goo goo gah gah bro, good luck with all that.
Besides the common answer of being a long time MK fan, what are your reasons for continuing to play?
If we all work together to find an answer we may understand you better.
Why play a game you don't really like?
I remember Tekken Zaibatsu
Fuck that. I remember GTA2 Zaibatsu.
1:09:30
"Bu🥁🥁 it ain't gunna be this round"
Facts tho!
This dude wants better zonning than Quan chi already have? lol for real?
my fav part of this update is not being able to play online everytime I key up to play a match it just crashes I tried Uninstalling and redownloading the game. I payed 109 for the premium edition just for this game ti barely work when I wanna play it I'm done with this game. especially when they dunk a 50 dollar dlc on my head for sum that could have been 20 bucks
Hahaha get fucked
I hope you purchase their next product
Think krushing blows would work if a counter hit system
Takeeda is modern day Okazumi lmao
1:14:28 I agree with m2dave. NRS lacks a grand scheme of things with what to do with kameos. And its Fighters too.
Tom you’re not buying the DLC right?
They already hot fixed Goro? Not getting the same damage as before
Well the game crashes everytime I find a match since the update. 😢😢😢
I thought the last video on MK1 would be the last video on MK1 🙂
No audio
It's just a glitch if you get here early, I didn't have audio either but it's here now. Just clarifying even tho you probably know now
Game is still ass
You put cologne on shit but it’s still shit
Who's the sucky Scorpion player around the 15:00 mark that keeps spamming throws?
buff Shao
always buff Shao
Combo trading is the death of mortal kombat. The imma do my over complicated combo for you to block and then you do yours. The first one to screw up their block game loses. There are no mechanics! Just combo spam, zoning, and exploits. I feel like the old dog howling at the moon now. The good ole days are dead.
Yeah this feels good. It's time to get back in mk and adapt. Just still a bit let down smoke is sooo pathetic and easy to deal with. Day 1 takedas beating day one of the best of the best smoke players 😂
Where
The GOAT
Kamos are just bad they take from the characters' power, and most characters feel empty for it. Less strings less specials less power
. Kamos are basically variations
Imo, they fixed the meta problem of the game. Khameleon feels balanced, homelander is not THAT op anymore and i feel the cast is more overall balanced. Just minor fixes going forward ti maintain this meta and it would be fine. Imo, the ONE thing this game shld do to redeem itself 100% is content. THATS the BIGGEST issue imo. I hate mk11 cuz it had ni content and not good gameplay. Mk1 has good gameplay but no content. Just give us test ur luck, 1v1s, the krypt(unlikely), challenge towers etc. just more stuff to do. Some of the stuff in invasions like quick draw, do a combo on the cyborgs, tym, survive could do for some nice gamemodes. Just give us stuff to do
It’s annoying how NRS favors certain characters over other characters. It is so obvious and unprofessional imo
MK1 still fucking sucks because of the combat system (kameos).
Seee im being positive
I think mk is too restricting of a game for someone like kazuya to be playable
So much for leaving mk behind, Tom 🙄
He likes Mortal Kombat too much to not talk about it. Also, if he stops making Mortal Kombat kontent, his subs and views are going to massively drop off. Everyone watches Tom Brady for Mortal Kombat.
@@theretrogamingnerd3316 * everyone watches Tom Brady to shit on Mortal Kombat*
Yes...but why didn't he just accept that instead of trying to look like a bad bitch? 🤣@@theretrogamingnerd3316
1 patch got you back on mk that fast lol this is why I laugh when u just shut talk the game
Exactly bro mk fans love getting complete slop & now they’re praising the game from one ok patch lmaooo
These clowns are going to buy the next nrs slop game and be surprised when it’s even worse then this game
These comments prove that NRS can never do anything right in the eyes of this community.
I noticed that a long time ago.
Yeah that's what you get when you release an unfinished product for $70 and drop terrible patches for a year. Not gonna start singing their praise because they took 1 step forward from 5 steps back.
@@buddhakai1458exactly
@@buddhakai1458Most games today are “beta”, which adds new updates-patches and new stuff to their games and changes in their games and depending the feedback can maybe slightly have some other changes
We gonna forget MK on switch used PC footage to sell the game? Or microtransactions for costumes in the game you can get for free? No lobbies? 12$ fatalities?
The crowd for 3rd strike went half silent when the finals came up lol. Chun-Li always gonna rule the game. SF6 being won by punk and Arslan winning with Nina were way more hype I agree.
No update/ Character can make this game good. This game is fucking garbage #injustice3
game still sucks
Quit the game femboi
Sadly 😒
Satan, I rebuke you 😅
Yes it does. I try to make myself enjoy it because it was my favorite franchise/game but 10 minutes in and im 🥱😴😴
Still sucks. This game is finished. Kameos killed it.
I know this community y’all will be mad again in 2 weeks
No it does make it great game just overall sucks
Quit the game you little femboiiiiiii
Scrub.
@@Timeforceletsgo lol because I don’t like this dumbed down unfinished money grabbing game? I didn’t say it was hard just sucks and I’m a Mk fan over all fighters
ice clone ice clone buff ice clone make ice clone 10 sec buff ice clone if buff ice clone mortal kombat 1 will be safe belive me i m 50 y old idiot belive me !
Too little too late. SF6 just got even more exciting with season 2 changes and seasonal character releases keep people interested. Tekken... it dwindles because its meta is also pretty stale but not 8 Cages in top 8 level of stale. But people won't be waiting around for a game to get good while other games they can grind exist.
Still those shitty kameos? No thanks i will stay with mighty MK11
Kano/Stryker still need to be nerfed. -100 heath or make them use their whole cameo meter
What?
It's really good. Last patch was real garbage.
No
Kombat pack 2 is garbage
Trump 2024 boiiii
Kamala will absolutely destroy your cult leader.
At this point Just make your own game bro. You've been whining all this year like 2003 slim shady.
Can you please point out the whining that I am doing in this video?
I see more people complaining in the comments about how the game still sucks more than Brady.
Audio seems off?
