You are so right about factions. I joined Special Forces, because I felt like they were the ultra good guys and I just wanted to be on the side of good guys, but I realise that they just don't seem cool to a lot of other players, so I just know, that less people are going to join this faction, and therefore Special Forces be always in the bottom. I won't change my faction, though. If Special Forces will get to overcome the odds and get to the second place at least, I'd be glad to feel that I was a part of it.
***** Yea I think the faction thing will be very unbalanced. I compared yesterdays stats to todays the highest faction added one per cent and i think brotherhood of shadow lost a percentage. if the level cap is 50 i'm swaping to lin kuei even if i'm 44 but if it's not i'll stay with white lotus i guess.
I'm in the white lotus faction felt it would be the best cause that's Liu kangs people the champion of earth how could I not? I feel like people are only in sub zeros because of smoke I'm hanging in mine toe see the cool faction fatalities Ican unlock
***** if you and the others are good there is no reason for SF to not be at the top I'm gonna be lin kuei because i like all the characters in the clan even though sub zero is the only playable one if shirai ryu was a clan i would choose that but if everyone in lin kuei suck donkey balls which is entirely possible as I'm guessing noobs will choose it me and other MK players that have played before will be carrying their losses
Wish Erron Black was in the story more. I felt like he was just in the background during the story. I really like his character. Like a mixture of The Man with no Name and The Winter Soldier. Currently getting the hang of him.
My favorite fatality is kenshi's he spins his blade in the air while he guides the loser forward and it goes to slow motion. No one EVER plays as kenshi. He is AWESOME
story wise mkx was alot more light hearted then MK9's...and as a final boss shao kahn>shinnok NRS/Midway has no idea how to make shinnok scary...every time u see him its like starscream waiting for megatron to flop just to take his place...only to be worse
Are you telling me you thought Shao Khan was scary? The only thing about him that was unnerving was the fact that he had so much BS armour moves and MK9 story was great but it was not "dark" at all...
Cinemasins Ssohpkc true but he not a worth while boss..for some one who is an elder god..shinnok's name doesnt strike fear in ppls hearts like shao kahn...when i fight shao kahn i know what im getting into...when i fight shinnok...its like fighting a typical character..maybe shinnok being playable was his biggest down fall in the series
I agree the story was cool but it was so rushed towards the end with the main villain, the big danger and conflict was just ended with no real consequence and it kind of killed the intensity of it all. Also I wish there was more explained lore on some of the other new characters like Kotal and Ferra/Torr I mean I know they have more backstory in the comics but I wish some of it was in the games story as well. Other than that this game is amazing, and hard as fuck I love it.
I dunno about kotal's yet, but if you complete the traditional tower as ferra/torr there is a HUGE twist with their ending, won't spoil it, but I really didn't see it coming!
Cinemasins Ssohpkc yeah that was my main problem with it too, like the whole story she was barely able to defeat normal enemies and now all of a sudden she has the power to take down a super powered up god. It was silly.
Hey Jeremy, I worked on all the cinematics for both MK9 and Injustice. Neatherrealm decided to go with another company for MKX- but we did do the Official Trailer!
"I've lost weight" That had me laugh for 30 seconds...... wanting to give your video game reviews more shine, and a extra thumbs up. Again Jeremy thank you for your time and quality.
I agree. It is really hard to say this game disappoints because it really doesn't. This game gives you plenty of activities to do including the Towers, the Krypt, Story Mode. That even includes the new characters they have added to the franchise. NetherRealm Studios has impressed me once more. It's ashamed they had to delay MKX for Previous Gen, but after the game was released I got so mad, I traded my Xbox 360 in for the Halo Bundle Xbox One the very next day. I do not regret my decision, and MKX wasn't the only I traded my Xbox 360 in for a Xbox One. I also traded it in because the Xbox One has more to offer. :)) Much more beautiful graphics and overall an amazing system. :D
philipweis I agree. The story would be much more better if it was longer. I like story modes that will take a while to beat. MK9 had a much longer story mode.
The fact that you have reviewed my favorite game and revealed that you are a fan of the series, along with your movie reviews, makes you one of the best youtubers I have watched in a long time. Excellent work Jeremy and I know that I will be subscribing.
Really great review!!! I would also give it Awesometacular! Also the Cassie Cage fatality is my favorite too, you can see for yourself on my channel where you can find the Top 10 Mortal Kombat X Fatalities and you can watch the whole game movie if you haven't got the game! It really is worth it, the game is just so awesome!
Jackendo As a Spider phobe. Yes. Jesus Christ yes there is. Goddammit Ed Boon I just want to buy some freakin' costumes not have my weaknesses exploited.
You're the man Jeremy. Great review. I as well am a 31 year old longtime Mortal Kombat fan since the MK1 days on the Sega Genesis. And I think that MKX is the best MK ever!
Number one fighter is Cassie Cage one: she is actually really good two her fatalities are unique three: her intros are all smart ass comments are it's really funny
This is the first MK game I've played, since UMK3, so I was a little worried I wouldn't have a good time. But it was a blast! The game was fast-paced, but not overwhelmingly so. And I really enjoy the variations of the different characters. They really add some depth to the experience. All-in-all, I agree with the 'awesometacular' review.
Ofcourse! you have learned step 1 by posting this comment. Step 2: talk about how much Jeremy sucks for having a different opinion. Step 3: If you are the second comment on the video, say "first". Step 4: Enter a shameless plug. You have now mastered commenting! Also, First! Fuck you nobody wants to read your opinions in the comments. Sorry I know it's annoying when people keep talking about their channels but it's the only way for me to get noticed. And I post really different stuff, I'm not like the rest! I post Call of Duty gameplay and Minecraft videos! Thank you!
From a purely singleplayer perspective, I love this game. Everything feels right and the new characters are awesome. I miss the old challenge tower too, but it's not a big deal, as long as I have stuff to unlock. The Krypt dropped my jaw, this is what I actually wanted the crypt to be like when I saw it in MK9. My only complaint is that it freezes about 2-3 times a day, ATI-related issue, most likely, but otherwise it's great.
I've been a fan of this game since sept 1994, and this is by far the best one. Altho MK3 is my personal favorite due to nostalgia. But hands down, a must have, I have the PC/Steam version and its gorgeous.
Emilie Rose The game is fun, and just stick the CPU to very easy until you've found a character and variation that work for you. Once you've done that, increase the difficulty until you hit something challenging but not impossible - then play a lot. You'll get better before you know it.
Emilie Rose It's actually accessible for folk that aren't that good at fighting games. You can tone down the difficulty to very easy and there are easy to pull off combo's. As you get better you can learn the more advanced stuff
Awesome review as usual. I too love the game. I am currently right now just going through with each character and trying the fatalities, and recording them.
MKX is good. However my problem with it is that I bought the disk had to wait for it to install. Then had to wait for it to update. Then they want me to pay for characters that are already on the disk. I hat this model that is starting to become common place. I liked the time when everything you needed to play the game was on the disk and you didn't have to pay extra to access it.
tdenzel101 No he is already on the disk. The DL for Goro is 1.1MB which is unfathomably small for a character. You are only DLing data that will allow you to access him on the disk.
tdenzel101 It's not the point if he is good or not it is that you are being made to purchase access to data you already bought on the disk. If the rumors are true and Jason, Predator, Tanya, and Tremor are already on the disk like Goro is then you essentially will pay an extra $30 to access content you already $60 for.
Brandon Powell I wouldn't say 90%. Most people here who are subbed like movies, not as much gamers (not saying I have a problem with video game reviews)
Brandon Powell Yeah, but most of these guys now days review and tells us more about trailers and commercials than actual movies..Jeremy did maybe 10-15 movie reviews in 2015, maybe even less, and, don´t get me wrong, I love the guy, but that is just..I don´t know..not cool...
YO JEREMY.. I'M HAPPY YOU DID THIS REVIEW FOR MORTAL COMBAT X.. AND I'MA LET YOU FINISH, BUT THE "DAREDEVIL" SERIES WAS ONE OF THE BEST NETFLIX SHOWS OF ALL TIME!
My favorite and least favorite fatalities both actually come from the first game. My least favorite was Liu Kang's fatality. He just uppercuts his opponent to the ceiling. That one was absurdly weak compared to most of the others, especially... My favorite; Sub-Zero's "Spine-Rip". Even if that's not everyone's favorite, they still have to give credit where it's due; that fatality is a prime example of the brutal nature of the game that started the ESRB rating system. Some have even said that the fatality in question was what got everyone to agree on a rating system for games.
I couldn't agree with you enough Jeremy, this game is amazing. I absolutely loved the last Mortal Kombat game from 2011. And this practically tops it. I'm playing the story mode and man is the story good. This is definitely gonna be my pick for one of "The Best Games of the Year"!!!
I really enjoy this game. At first the only one I was good with was Scorpion but, now I think I've got the hang of Goro as well. Also the selfie fatality is kind of weird but, in a funny way.
I would gladly play the previous one but I have a PS4 and the previous one is only for the last gen consoles. Guess I'll just watch a playthrough or something. Thanks anyway!
I think you could play it on Playstation Now if your internet connection is good enough (mine's not so if you can't use that service, I understand your frustration). Either way, yeah enjoy. I'm sure they have one of those videos on TH-cam that have all the story mode cutscenes put together like a movie.
I've never been interested in Mortal Kombat, but I watched my friends (who have been into the series from the start) play it, and all of us agree that the fighting styles of the characters are just re-skinned Injustice characters. As someone who isn't interested in the series, I don't care much, but there were mixed responses from my friends. Some didn't care and still enjoyed the game, but others got a bit fed up with playing it once they realized it.
Man, I forgot about you. I first found you from your Mass Effect 3 review a few years ago and subscribed. I since have made a new account and just stumbled back onto you. I was so shocked to see how many subscribers you have now. That's awesome man, re-subbed.
Only thing that dissapoints me is that the roster seems kinda small. compared to the last game, I'll have to go back and count but it seems like their are a lot less. It also bugs me that they include fights with classic characters in the story that aren't in the game, I mean revenants that you don't fight are fine but there is no reason why Rain, Sindel, and Barracka shouldn't be playable if they have movesets and character models.
Rain, Sindelmand Baraka don't have enough moves for 3 variations and they don't have X-Ray attacks (As far as I can tell). There may be less characters but the variations just kill it...
SleightCreative I'd imagine it takes A LOT less work to design a character that will only be used by the computer. Because when you design a character that is playable, you have to put tons, and tons of hours to make sure they're moves can't be exploited, or are balanced, or work right, so things are fair for PVP. But if its just the computer, you can make a much looser character, much faster. Personally, I prefer it than keeping some characters out all together. Having a mind set of "This character didn't make the roster, so they don't make the story" would be kind of bad.
Awesome review Jeremy! I couldn't agree more with all your points. I used to hate fighting games but after getting into Injustice I ad to get Mortal Kombat X and boy I'm so glad I did! The graphics are gorgeous and the fluidity and smoothness of the gameplay is beautiful. I think my favourite fatality would have to be Scorpion's face slice, so simple but so effective haha.
Ereptile I mained Johnny Cage in MK9, but he's been altered in MKX, so now I play Sonya Blade or Kung Jin mostly. Kinda liking Sub Zero's Grandmaster variation though.
First of all, I really like your review style, its pretty entertaining to watch. I agree to basically all of your points. The Story.. I mean.. its a lil cheesy at some points but was ultimately like a 3/5 movie that actually still was pretty fun to watch/play. The Fighting just is the best in any mortal kombat game so far and the variations are a welcome change! I also like that the game is kinda modern, it feels like its been created in 2014/15 especially compared to the last one. Its not as overthetop as mk9 with ass, tits, helllotablood on your character and just feels a bit more realistic while still being the sarcastic dark humor mk. The Krypt is pretty well done in my opinion although you can "play it through" in about 45 mins and as much as I love to unlock costumes, reading the Ideas of Maps or Characters Concept arts and seeing how it could have ended otherwise is actually pretty interesting too. overall I really like this game its a TON of fun. Id still give it a 8.6 out of ten because of the missing challenge tower, cheesy story and frickin day one DLC, easy fatalities and other microtransactions but everything else just seems perfect to me!
I had the EXACT same thing happen to me with Raiden's variations. I was like "dude, even the icon for Displacer is the original fucking live action Raiden, how can you choose anything other than that??" But then I played Thunder God and yeah...
The game hit the _perfect_ balance between being fast and having detailed and even somewhat realistic animations. Hell, even more than half of the new characters are good.
From what I've played the game itself is really good, but the way they market and nickel and dime it is disgusting. So I wont be buying it until it's 5 bucks on Steam a couple of years from now. My backlog is large enough that I wont miss it anyway. XD
Thing is... The game is really good despite the micro transactions and DLC. If you wait a couple of years, you're only gonna go up against pros online.
You should really create a separate account for game reviews because these are pretty entertaining and it'd be nice if you could upload some gameplays as well because the one you did with angry joe was also pretty dope.
Great review Jeremy! Loving this game as much as you seem to be, and agree with all that you said! Definitely wish there was another lengthy challenge tower like the last MK game. But hey, who knows, maybe something alone those lines will drop in future updates? Fingers crossed!
I really hope they fix the shitty netcode, and the 3-5 hit combos that deal like 45% damage. Otherwise, this game is going to be forgotten like MK9 after a few months
I'm taking about the competitive scene. If you compare it to Street Fighter, Mk9 was not well received and barely anyone played it before MKX. I just hope NRS fix the couple of problems that MKX has before EVO comes around
Raul Mejia SF rules the competition scene which is ironic to me because of all the fighting games (Tekken, SF, MK specifically) to me its the worst. Tekken is all combo memory, and probably the most challenging, and Mk requires crazy amounts of anticipation, especially with how they have it now where you have passive moves and stuff. SF always comes down to a hadoken or overly spammed spin kick... lets hope NRS doesnt do anything to make it more like SF
If you compare it with melee, yeah it will be forgotten completely in a few years. If you compare it with brawl, it may take some time to be forgotten. Anyways melee is the best competitive game. It is simply hyper offense and strategy. Street fighter is hyper defende and it sucks balls. Marvel vs capcom is hell of fun and isnt so defensive, plus better characters. Mk is hell fun and kinda balanced both defense and offense to make it enough entertaining. S4mash is decreasing its popularity competitively, it was cool at the beginning but now many players are returning to melee
The game might be decent but the business model is fucking terrible. Pre-ordering bullshit and locking characters, PC version broken on launch & loads of weird ass micro-transactions.
Damn i gotta get my review out soon. Also great vid as always i really enjoy your work and u, and a couple others, inspired me to start my own channel.
cassie is one of the worst characters I've seen in mk for a long time. she's everything i dislike in modern day society. i swear they're trying so hard to sue her up and by that make her out to be a Mary sue. almost as if she's replacing liu kang as the hero. having her be the one to take down corrupted shinnok when raiden couldn't not only hurt shinnok as a villain but the story as a whole. i literally skipped the cassie chapters just because i didn't want nor did i ever plan to learn her moveset and my god im glad i skipped the final boss because like i said before, its bull. not only that but it sounds frustrating as hell.
EclipseHedgehog While I agree that her being the hero of the story sucks ass, I must disagree on her personality. She reminds me of the Scout from TF2 when she makes one-liners and snobby remarks during fights. And her fatality where she takes a selfie with the opponent is hilarious. Oh, and she's also got some pretty decent moves and combos.
I heard Ed Boon (and his team) change the controls (again) for the iconic moves like Scorpion's Spear. I didn't like how they changed the controls for Sub-Zero's freeze ball in MK 9. Did they change for Scorpion's Spear too????
Nico Reyes don't forget to mention that while there are 24 characters (if dlc is included then current count is 25 with and end number of 28) each with 3 variations making the selection of characters to have 72-75 possiblities the entirity of the online community almost exlusively uses Cryomancer subzero, ninjustu Scorpion, mystic ermac, and thunder god raiden
Just for gits and shiggles, I went back and watched some older episodes- you really have come a long way. Not that you were bad back then, but you've become far more confident, expressive and energetic. The perpetual 5 o'clock shadow is an improvement as well. Just thought I'd remind you how far you've come.
Sounds excellent. It hasn't come out in ps3 in Australia yet. Hubby is really excited and he'd be even more so when he watches this review. Thanks for the review. Xx
I know EXACTLY what you're talking about with Shinnoks second form spamming that chest fire beam move. There seem to be several AI characters that seem to spam the same 2-3 moves, such as Kenshi, Shinnok, and Ermac. My girlfriend thinks the most disgusting Fatality is Ermac's "Inner Workings" Fatality (just watch it. You will see). I enjoy the crap out of MKX. The story was really good too. However, one complaint I think I have is about Scorpion. Every character has about two dozen combos to select from, and ultimately string together into bigger combos. However, Scorpion only has about 7 or 8 different combos to chose from, and I had trouble stringing those together with his special moves. I felt this kind of odd, since he's been on the cover of the last few MK games, and is such an iconic character in the series.
Great review as always Jeremy! Im getting it on my birthday (already preodered collectors but my parents said I gotta wait till my birthday in 2 weeks :'(. Oh and Btw Jeremy you should do an In depth Daredevil spoiler talk, think that would be awesometacular =D
Faction Selections, we should petition Nether Realms to add a formula to it that does the following- Calculates the total amount of players per faction, then with ratios creates bonuses in points attained from the smaller faction to even it out. Meaning, the collective performance and trials of each player in each faction is calculated in a better way to make sure that they can all be competitive. Example- A faction of 10 players vs a faction of 20 players. Each player from the faction of 10 should have a bonus of perhaps even x2 (the formula should be more fleshed out that this but this is just an example). And so each player from each faction will need to play the same amount of times to make the factions compete against each other properly. 10 fights from the second faction per player is something like 200 fights. 10 fights from the 1st faction per player is something like 100 fights. With the bonus, the final result will be, lets say faction one x10 per fight, and faction two x5 per fight, 1000 points each, meaning that each of the 30 players will still need to play the same amount of times (10 fights each) to compete. Ultimately, a larger and less active faction can end up losing at this point, which kind of the whole idea behind it as well as how well each player performs within a faction. They do this? And the faction system would be golden.
Between this MK and the last one, I'd say this one edges it out as better, but my favorite was Ultimate MK 3. When the combos came into it, I was hooked. My least favorite was the DC vs MK. Solid fighting game, but these 2 worlds didn't belong together. I'm so glad they separated them, because Injustice is fantastic as well. My favorite fatality is probably the original sub-zero head/spine rip. I was floored the first time I saw that in the arcade.
Jeremy, you're the best, brother. Great stuff as always.
Luke Pike There it is again...that dreamy sniper eye!
***** Hahaha!
Jeremy Jahns you’re a legend man. Really appreciate what you do. Fan since 2012. Respect.

***** special forces has Jax , it was the only option to me
A warning to those who switch factions, your level goes down to 1. I learned that the hard way
***** Yea I think the faction thing will be very unbalanced. I compared yesterdays stats to todays the highest faction added one per cent and i think brotherhood of shadow lost a percentage. if the level cap is 50 i'm swaping to lin kuei even if i'm 44 but if it's not i'll stay with white lotus i guess.
I'm in the white lotus faction felt it would be the best cause that's Liu kangs people the champion of earth how could I not? I feel like people are only in sub zeros because of smoke I'm hanging in mine toe see the cool faction fatalities Ican unlock
***** if you and the others are good there is no reason for SF to not be at the top I'm gonna be lin kuei because i like all the characters in the clan even though sub zero is the only playable one if shirai ryu was a clan i would choose that but if everyone in lin kuei suck donkey balls which is entirely possible as I'm guessing noobs will choose it me and other MK players that have played before will be carrying their losses

No one EVER plays as kenshi. He is AWESOME
Lin Kuei is just wrecking everything out there...
Guinness It's cuz the Lin Kuei is fucking awesome.
SeanStrife They have Smoke Chopin' people up for one of their faction kills. Why would you NOT go with them?
Guinness It's cuz people can just switch factions. You shouldn't be able to switch until the week is over.
I'm in that faction
***** I think it's more because the Lin Kuei have more of the fan favourite characters compared to the others.
Jeremy imitating Shinook's spam was too damn funny.
Its shinock
Cassie Cage selfie fatality is jaw-some ! ;D
Marta Andrade It's not even the fatality, it's the comments during the fatality XD
Especially when Sonya comments 'why are you friends with Kano?'
bubbajoe117 and a minor game of thrones reference
Goro Goro
Hodor Hodor!
Marta Andrade has anyone unlocked Fujin? XD
least favorite is the one Quan Chi does in i think deadly alliance or deception where he turns you basically into a penis stretching your neck
Robert Vasquez I think that's Ed Boon's least favorite too.
***** Hey jeremy can you do a movie review of unfriended please
***** it's my least favourite fatality... For obvious reasons lol
Ang Rza Yeah Don't forget that ***** should do a Clue and a Dune Movie review anytime soon.
Robert Vasquez haha was going to say the same XD
story wise mkx was alot more light hearted then MK9's...and as a final boss
shao kahn>shinnok
NRS/Midway has no idea how to make shinnok scary...every time u see him its like starscream waiting for megatron to flop just to take his place...only to be worse
Are you telling me you thought Shao Khan was scary? The only thing about him that was unnerving was the fact that he had so much BS armour moves and MK9 story was great but it was not "dark" at all...
darker then MKX. shinnok from MK4 to now always felt like a second rate boss compared to shao kahn or shang tsung
Well look it the bright side its not cheap is fuck like shaokahn
Shinnoks an elder god though?..Shao Kahn is not that's why he's dead
Cinemasins Ssohpkc
true but he not a worth while boss..for some one who is an elder god..shinnok's name doesnt strike fear in ppls hearts like shao kahn...when i fight shao kahn i know what im getting into...when i fight shinnok...its like fighting a typical character..maybe shinnok being playable was his biggest down fall in the series
Erron Black (Gunslinger aka Roland Deschain) is entertainment Gold!!
Fav character right there
He reminds me of John Marston. The MK version of Marston.
HopHaze I take it you sit at the end of the screen and just spam shooting ya pistol
TrueScottishGamerHD No I also slide tackle spam kids and sand trap kids all day!
HopHaze Have you used him when your opponent also uses him? The X-ray bullet says 'Me'
I agree the story was cool but it was so rushed towards the end with the main villain, the big danger and conflict was just ended with no real consequence and it kind of killed the intensity of it all. Also I wish there was more explained lore on some of the other new characters like Kotal and Ferra/Torr I mean I know they have more backstory in the comics but I wish some of it was in the games story as well. Other than that this game is amazing, and hard as fuck I love it.
I still have no idea how cassie cage took down a fucking god a powered up one it that
I dunno about kotal's yet, but if you complete the traditional tower as ferra/torr there is a HUGE twist with their ending, won't spoil it, but I really didn't see it coming!
Cinemasins Ssohpkc yeah that was my main problem with it too, like the whole story she was barely able to defeat normal enemies and now all of a sudden she has the power to take down a super powered up god. It was silly.
The mk comics explain kotal's origins
CourtCjbLand Not to mention the somewhat spotty writing.
I hope you eventually review Daredevil season 1.
TheLegobatman3609 i would love to see his view on it
TheLegobatman3609 He will. He said so in his tweets. Just gonna take some time.
I really want him to review Sherlock series 3
I love when a series has been around for so long, yet gets better with each one. It knows what it is, and it's kick ass.
Agreed
Hey Jeremy, I worked on all the cinematics for both MK9 and Injustice. Neatherrealm decided to go with another company for MKX- but we did do the Official Trailer!

Hey Jeremy, will you be reviewing Batman Arkham Knight when it comes out?
Hopefully yes!
***** I think MGSV will be GOTY, but I think Arkham Knight will be #2 or #3
Patrick Danielson Yeah, I have higher hopes for MGS!
***** Just wanted to double check!

"I've lost weight" That had me laugh for 30 seconds...... wanting to give your video game reviews more shine, and a extra thumbs up. Again Jeremy thank you for your time and quality.
Haven't played the game yet, but I loved it when Johnny Cage told Goro that he owed him some sunglasses :)
So much nostalgia! Little gems like that make this game much more awesome
I agree. It is really hard to say this game disappoints because it really doesn't. This game gives you plenty of activities to do including the Towers, the Krypt, Story Mode. That even includes the new characters they have added to the franchise. NetherRealm Studios has impressed me once more. It's ashamed they had to delay MKX for Previous Gen, but after the game was released I got so mad, I traded my Xbox 360 in for the Halo Bundle Xbox One the very next day. I do not regret my decision, and MKX wasn't the only I traded my Xbox 360 in for a Xbox One. I also traded it in because the Xbox One has more to offer. :)) Much more beautiful graphics and overall an amazing system. :D
NIGHTMARECRIPT the problem i had with MKX is the story is kinda shorter and less interesting then mk9 but it was alot of fun doe!
philipweis I agree. The story would be much more better if it was longer. I like story modes that will take a while to beat. MK9 had a much longer story mode.

I got attacked by a wolf. Went in to the Spider Kave and hurried my ass out when I realized I couldn't afford anything in there.
That Shinnok impersonation cracks me up. Everytime.

Luis Santiago I would, but my keyboard is unplugged.
Luis Santiago Beats me. I'm trying to figure out how to access this internet thing.
i ll tell you when my neighbour turns his wi-fi ON
Ofcourse! you have learned step 1 by posting this comment.
Step 2: talk about how much Jeremy sucks for having a different opinion.
Step 3: If you are the second comment on the video, say "first".
Step 4: Enter a shameless plug.
You have now mastered commenting!
Also,
First!
Fuck you nobody wants to read your opinions in the comments.
Sorry I know it's annoying when people keep talking about their channels but it's the only way for me to get noticed. And I post really different stuff, I'm not like the rest! I post Call of Duty gameplay and Minecraft videos! Thank you!
ShinkaTV And that's why I have a Bluetooth keyboard. If only I knew how to type
When Jeremy is this hyped about a game, i go but the game the next day. I have that much trust in this guy
Cassie's selfie fatality had me laughing for a good 10 minutes lol
From a purely singleplayer perspective, I love this game. Everything feels right and the new characters are awesome. I miss the old challenge tower too, but it's not a big deal, as long as I have stuff to unlock. The Krypt dropped my jaw, this is what I actually wanted the crypt to be like when I saw it in MK9.
My only complaint is that it freezes about 2-3 times a day, ATI-related issue, most likely, but otherwise it's great.

É capaz dos outros (falantes de inglês) pensarem que estamos falando espanhol, são línguas bem similares. XD
I've been a fan of this game since sept 1994, and this is by far the best one. Altho MK3 is my personal favorite due to nostalgia. But hands down, a must have, I have the PC/Steam version and its gorgeous.
I wish I was good at fighting games, this game looks fun. ):
Emilie Rose Practice. People aren't just good at first.
Emilie Rose The game is fun, and just stick the CPU to very easy until you've found a character and variation that work for you. Once you've done that, increase the difficulty until you hit something challenging but not impossible - then play a lot. You'll get better before you know it.
Emilie Rose It's actually accessible for folk that aren't that good at fighting games. You can tone down the difficulty to very easy and there are easy to pull off combo's. As you get better you can learn the more advanced stuff
Emilie Rose I can teach you ;)
Get over here and I'll teach you
Awesome review as usual. I too love the game. I am currently right now just going through with each character and trying the fatalities, and recording them.
Jeremyjahns, how good are you on mk2??
Edwin Grullon That was my game back in the day, but I am RUSTY now.
***** What is one of your most anticipated games this year?
@@JeremyJahns are you doing good and is your favorite mortal kombat 2 your favorite back then in 1993
Jeremy is the man always bringing out new videos for his fans!
MKX is good. However my problem with it is that I bought the disk had to wait for it to install. Then had to wait for it to update. Then they want me to pay for characters that are already on the disk. I hat this model that is starting to become common place. I liked the time when everything you needed to play the game was on the disk and you didn't have to pay extra to access it.
Goro is not on the disk u have to literally Download him
tdenzel101 No he is already on the disk. The DL for Goro is 1.1MB which is unfathomably small for a character. You are only DLing data that will allow you to access him on the disk.
Gezere9 it doesn't matter bro hes not that good anyway and i rarely see anyone choose him for online actually no one choosed him when i was playing
tdenzel101 It's not the point if he is good or not it is that you are being made to purchase access to data you already bought on the disk. If the rumors are true and Jason, Predator, Tanya, and Tremor are already on the disk like Goro is then you essentially will pay an extra $30 to access content you already $60 for.
tdenzel101 that´s not the point
I'm not a big fan of fighting games but I am insanely enjoying this game. Cassie has the best pre-battle lines.
unfriended review?
Paul blart review?
90% of people want to see this review before either of those
***** paul blart review: how the fuck did this shit earn 23mil on the weekend
Brandon Powell I wouldn't say 90%. Most people here who are subbed like movies, not as much gamers (not saying I have a problem with video game reviews)
The Whiteheart His biggest subscriber spike happened when he did the Mass Effect 3 review soooo...
Brandon Powell Yeah, but most of these guys now days review and tells us more about trailers and commercials than actual movies..Jeremy did maybe 10-15 movie reviews in 2015, maybe even less, and, don´t get me wrong, I love the guy, but that is just..I don´t know..not cool...
YO JEREMY.. I'M HAPPY YOU DID THIS REVIEW FOR MORTAL COMBAT X.. AND I'MA LET YOU FINISH, BUT THE "DAREDEVIL" SERIES WAS ONE OF THE BEST NETFLIX SHOWS OF ALL TIME!
Seriously though we need that review for daredevil!
You just gotta love Jeremy's reviews! Now im sure i need to go get this game!
My favorite fatality so far is "My Puppet"
Takeda and jax have the best fatalities hands down
Johnny Campos meh.
ThePrinceOfSaiyajins gotta be Kotal Kahns "Be mine" for me, ripping out someones heart never looked better
Best x ray is erron black with the name on the bullet
ThePrinceOfSaiyajins Possesed Kenshi is op af
My favorite and least favorite fatalities both actually come from the first game.
My least favorite was Liu Kang's fatality. He just uppercuts his opponent to the ceiling. That one was absurdly weak compared to most of the others, especially...
My favorite; Sub-Zero's "Spine-Rip". Even if that's not everyone's favorite, they still have to give credit where it's due; that fatality is a prime example of the brutal nature of the game that started the ESRB rating system. Some have even said that the fatality in question was what got everyone to agree on a rating system for games.
This game is awesome!!!
Btw could you review Arkham Knight Jeremy?
GrandJediMaster7860 lol yep ;)
That intro of you just discussing you losing weight was hilarious!
Do a review for the movie the voices I personally loved it, it stars Ryan Reynolds and Anna Kendrick its a dark comedy
I couldn't agree with you enough Jeremy, this game is amazing. I absolutely loved the last Mortal Kombat game from 2011. And this practically tops it. I'm playing the story mode and man is the story good. This is definitely gonna be my pick for one of "The Best Games of the Year"!!!
Did you notice on the "selfie" fatality that one of cassie's friends is the toasty guy from earlier mortal Kombats?
I really enjoy this game. At first the only one I was good with was Scorpion but, now I think I've got the hang of Goro as well. Also the selfie fatality is kind of weird but, in a funny way.
Guys, I've never ever played a Mortal Kombat game. EVER. But this looks really cool. Should I buy it since I'm a newcomer?
It'd be better if you played the previous game just so you could get the run down on the story before this one, but it's fun either way.
I would gladly play the previous one but I have a PS4 and the previous one is only for the last gen consoles. Guess I'll just watch a playthrough or something. Thanks anyway!
I think you could play it on Playstation Now if your internet connection is good enough (mine's not so if you can't use that service, I understand your frustration). Either way, yeah enjoy. I'm sure they have one of those videos on TH-cam that have all the story mode cutscenes put together like a movie.
Duje Vuković if you're willing to spend lots of time practicing. Yes you should. In my opinion it's better than Call of Duty.
I've never been interested in Mortal Kombat, but I watched my friends (who have been into the series from the start) play it, and all of us agree that the fighting styles of the characters are just re-skinned Injustice characters. As someone who isn't interested in the series, I don't care much, but there were mixed responses from my friends. Some didn't care and still enjoyed the game, but others got a bit fed up with playing it once they realized it.
wait a minute there a faction call the white lotus? *in avatar fanboy going crazy*
Haha ikr? That's the faction I chose based solely on that.
***** When I get the game, that'll be the faction I choose because of that lol
***** Yes there is, but my Faction the Lin Keui is killing it.
***** yea the reason i picked!
***** Lol thats the reason I went with them and are sticking two them, even though the Iin Keui are blown out and probably will win every faction war.
This game is defo one of my fav MK games. It takes what made mk9 epic but added loads of new characters and improved on the story mode.
I'm kicking ass with Mileena
Darryl Kerr I bet d'vorah could take care of mileena
Not my mileena lol :p u on ps4?
Darryl Kerr yeh ps4. Hammered through the story mode in one sitting and now i'm tryna get beast mode with kotal kahn
Just hit #67 in the world in ranked 1v1 matches. Have some vids on my channel :) add me The_Batman217
Darryl Kerr I don't play online. I can barely handle easy mode so i sure as shit aint touching online lol
Man, I forgot about you. I first found you from your Mass Effect 3 review a few years ago and subscribed. I since have made a new account and just stumbled back onto you. I was so shocked to see how many subscribers you have now. That's awesome man, re-subbed.
Only thing that dissapoints me is that the roster seems kinda small. compared to the last game, I'll have to go back and count but it seems like their are a lot less.
It also bugs me that they include fights with classic characters in the story that aren't in the game, I mean revenants that you don't fight are fine but there is no reason why Rain, Sindel, and Barracka shouldn't be playable if they have movesets and character models.
Rain, Sindelmand Baraka don't have enough moves for 3 variations and they don't have X-Ray attacks (As far as I can tell). There may be less characters but the variations just kill it...
Rain , sindel, and Baraka are literally the same characters from mk9, same moveset and all. Only in the game for story purposes.
SleightCreative I'd imagine it takes A LOT less work to design a character that will only be used by the computer. Because when you design a character that is playable, you have to put tons, and tons of hours to make sure they're moves can't be exploited, or are balanced, or work right, so things are fair for PVP. But if its just the computer, you can make a much looser character, much faster. Personally, I prefer it than keeping some characters out all together. Having a mind set of "This character didn't make the roster, so they don't make the story" would be kind of bad.
Vipes3 Exactly.
Just my opinion personally
Awesome review Jeremy! I couldn't agree more with all your points. I used to hate fighting games but after getting into Injustice I ad to get Mortal Kombat X and boy I'm so glad I did! The graphics are gorgeous and the fluidity and smoothness of the gameplay is beautiful. I think my favourite fatality would have to be Scorpion's face slice, so simple but so effective haha.
MK X has a really great story! :) It is a worthy successor for the MK 2011 game! Also Reptile is my number one!!! :D Who is your favorite fighter?!
I like Erron Black from Mortal Kombat X, but from the old school ones I'd say Lui Kang.
Erron Black but old school favorite is Scorpion.
Jonny Cage FTW!!!
Ereptile I mained Johnny Cage in MK9, but he's been altered in MKX, so now I play Sonya Blade or Kung Jin mostly. Kinda liking Sub Zero's Grandmaster variation though.
Ereptile My main is Cassie. Until my boy Rain comes out hopefully.
First of all, I really like your review style, its pretty entertaining to watch. I agree to basically all of your points. The Story.. I mean.. its a lil cheesy at some points but was ultimately like a 3/5 movie that actually still was pretty fun to watch/play. The Fighting just is the best in any mortal kombat game so far and the variations are a welcome change! I also like that the game is kinda modern, it feels like its been created in 2014/15 especially compared to the last one. Its not as overthetop as mk9 with ass, tits, helllotablood on your character and just feels a bit more realistic while still being the sarcastic dark humor mk. The Krypt is pretty well done in my opinion although you can "play it through" in about 45 mins and as much as I love to unlock costumes, reading the Ideas of Maps or Characters Concept arts and seeing how it could have ended otherwise is actually pretty interesting too. overall I really like this game its a TON of fun. Id still give it a 8.6 out of ten because of the missing challenge tower, cheesy story and frickin day one DLC, easy fatalities and other microtransactions but everything else just seems perfect to me!
@4:15 lmaoooooooo hahaha
Man, you deserve way more subscribers
Short, but great, almost reaching the escapist level
I hate Shinnok. He ALWAYS fires that amulet blast when he gets the chance...
I had the EXACT same thing happen to me with Raiden's variations. I was like "dude, even the icon for Displacer is the original fucking live action Raiden, how can you choose anything other than that??" But then I played Thunder God and yeah...
Please Daredevil :(
The game hit the _perfect_ balance between being fast and having detailed and even somewhat realistic animations. Hell, even more than half of the new characters are good.
From what I've played the game itself is really good, but the way they market and nickel and dime it is disgusting. So I wont be buying it until it's 5 bucks on Steam a couple of years from now.
My backlog is large enough that I wont miss it anyway. XD
Thing is... The game is really good despite the micro transactions and DLC. If you wait a couple of years, you're only gonna go up against pros online.
You should really create a separate account for game reviews because these are pretty entertaining and it'd be nice if you could upload some gameplays as well because the one you did with angry joe was also pretty dope.
Please review bloodborne!
Great review Jeremy! Loving this game as much as you seem to be, and agree with all that you said! Definitely wish there was another lengthy challenge tower like the last MK game. But hey, who knows, maybe something alone those lines will drop in future updates? Fingers crossed!
review daredevil damn it
LMFAO, when you impersonated the chest fireball xD.
I really hope they fix the shitty netcode, and the 3-5 hit combos that deal like 45% damage. Otherwise, this game is going to be forgotten like MK9 after a few months
Mk 9 wasn't forgotten about, what are you talking about?
Raul Mejia The only thing that pulled me away from MK9 was Injustice.
I'm taking about the competitive scene. If you compare it to Street Fighter, Mk9 was not well received and barely anyone played it before MKX. I just hope NRS fix the couple of problems that MKX has before EVO comes around
Raul Mejia SF rules the competition scene which is ironic to me because of all the fighting games (Tekken, SF, MK specifically) to me its the worst. Tekken is all combo memory, and probably the most challenging, and Mk requires crazy amounts of anticipation, especially with how they have it now where you have passive moves and stuff. SF always comes down to a hadoken or overly spammed spin kick... lets hope NRS doesnt do anything to make it more like SF
If you compare it with melee, yeah it will be forgotten completely in a few years. If you compare it with brawl, it may take some time to be forgotten. Anyways melee is the best competitive game. It is simply hyper offense and strategy. Street fighter is hyper defende and it sucks balls. Marvel vs capcom is hell of fun and isnt so defensive, plus better characters. Mk is hell fun and kinda balanced both defense and offense to make it enough entertaining. S4mash is decreasing its popularity competitively, it was cool at the beginning but now many players are returning to melee
This review is dead on! I love this game and I'm not even a die hard Mortal Kombat fan, but this game is so much fun!!
The game might be decent but the business model is fucking terrible. Pre-ordering bullshit and locking characters, PC version broken on launch & loads of weird ass micro-transactions.
Bloodstainer Now why would he talk about that in a review? lol jk.
BUT, no it is bullshit.
***** I think its worth mentioning that buying the game means supporting the business model in its entirety, that's how economics works.
Bloodstainer I know, that is why I did not buy it.
Finally a game review Jeremy!
Why is it just Scorpion that gets to be on the front of the cover?
Why are you moaning, you want to get over here?
Because Scorpion is Boon's favorite and the most iconic character in Mortal Kombat, hell probably in fighting game history.
Mandrid Hugh Boon Bias.
Dr. Plague Well, let's not count out Ryu
Mandrid Hugh He's fucking SCORPION.
Damn i gotta get my review out soon. Also great vid as always i really enjoy your work and u, and a couple others, inspired me to start my own channel.
I know it's been 3 years but there is stage fatalities
I loved the story in this game and for the first time in about 3 years, I'm looking forward to the story in the next game.
cassie is one of the worst characters I've seen in mk for a long time. she's everything i dislike in modern day society. i swear they're trying so hard to sue her up and by that make her out to be a Mary sue. almost as if she's replacing liu kang as the hero. having her be the one to take down corrupted shinnok when raiden couldn't not only hurt shinnok as a villain but the story as a whole. i literally skipped the cassie chapters just because i didn't want nor did i ever plan to learn her moveset and my god im glad i skipped the final boss because like i said before, its bull. not only that but it sounds frustrating as hell.
The last boss battle was super easy
EclipseHedgehog you can skip chapters?
tdenzel101
oh lol well im still glad i didnt have to do her chapter
Ⓓⓐⓥⓘⓓ Ⓡⓐⓜⓘ́ⓡⓔⓩ
if you find "skip fight" tokens in the krypt, yes
EclipseHedgehog While I agree that her being the hero of the story sucks ass, I must disagree on her personality. She reminds me of the Scout from TF2 when she makes one-liners and snobby remarks during fights. And her fatality where she takes a selfie with the opponent is hilarious.
Oh, and she's also got some pretty decent moves and combos.
I heard Ed Boon (and his team) change the controls (again) for the iconic moves like Scorpion's Spear.
I didn't like how they changed the controls for Sub-Zero's freeze ball in MK 9.
Did they change for Scorpion's Spear too????
Here's my Mortal Kombat X review:
1. Goro locked behind pre-order paywall
2. Story pandering to SJW Fad.
Done.
What the fuck is SJW
Social justice warrior
Some Jew Waiter
Nico Reyes in what way the story is pandering to SJWs?
Nico Reyes don't forget to mention that while there are 24 characters (if dlc is included then current count is 25 with and end number of 28) each with 3 variations making the selection of characters to have 72-75 possiblities the entirity of the online community almost exlusively uses Cryomancer subzero, ninjustu Scorpion, mystic ermac, and thunder god raiden
One of Johnny Cage's intros verses Goro is "Don't you owe me a pair of shades?"
Lol, thats awesome!!
Watched three videos. Subscribed on the second. Love you man :D Keep it up!
Totally agree! Been playing this all weekend
Just for gits and shiggles, I went back and watched some older episodes- you really have come a long way. Not that you were bad back then, but you've become far more confident, expressive and energetic. The perpetual 5 o'clock shadow is an improvement as well. Just thought I'd remind you how far you've come.
Hi Jeremy. Your videos make me smile. Nice review!
Do you play killer instinct at all? Hate the xbox one all you want, but the developers did a really good job with KI.
Sounds excellent. It hasn't come out in ps3 in Australia yet. Hubby is really excited and he'd be even more so when he watches this review. Thanks for the review. Xx
Hey Jeremy what do you think of scorpions who's next fatality? I love it. Also what addition did you get?
I know EXACTLY what you're talking about with Shinnoks second form spamming that chest fire beam move. There seem to be several AI characters that seem to spam the same 2-3 moves, such as Kenshi, Shinnok, and Ermac. My girlfriend thinks the most disgusting Fatality is Ermac's "Inner Workings" Fatality (just watch it. You will see). I enjoy the crap out of MKX. The story was really good too.
However, one complaint I think I have is about Scorpion. Every character has about two dozen combos to select from, and ultimately string together into bigger combos. However, Scorpion only has about 7 or 8 different combos to chose from, and I had trouble stringing those together with his special moves. I felt this kind of odd, since he's been on the cover of the last few MK games, and is such an iconic character in the series.
I love the "Here's Johnny" fatality!
Great review as always Jeremy! Im getting it on my birthday (already preodered collectors but my parents said I gotta wait till my birthday in 2 weeks :'(.
Oh and Btw Jeremy you should do an In depth Daredevil spoiler talk, think that would be awesometacular =D
This is why JeremyJahns is awesome :3
Haha great review! You're the man, Jeremy- also i feel the same... wasting my life away playing this
Faction Selections, we should petition Nether Realms to add a formula to it that does the following-
Calculates the total amount of players per faction, then with ratios creates bonuses in points attained from the smaller faction to even it out. Meaning, the collective performance and trials of each player in each faction is calculated in a better way to make sure that they can all be competitive.
Example- A faction of 10 players vs a faction of 20 players. Each player from the faction of 10 should have a bonus of perhaps even x2 (the formula should be more fleshed out that this but this is just an example).
And so each player from each faction will need to play the same amount of times to make the factions compete against each other properly.
10 fights from the second faction per player is something like 200 fights.
10 fights from the 1st faction per player is something like 100 fights.
With the bonus, the final result will be, lets say faction one x10 per fight, and faction two x5 per fight, 1000 points each, meaning that each of the 30 players will still need to play the same amount of times (10 fights each) to compete.
Ultimately, a larger and less active faction can end up losing at this point, which kind of the whole idea behind it as well as how well each player performs within a faction.
They do this? And the faction system would be golden.
Great review like always Jeremy.
Hehehe Jeremy said my name ♡ I love your videos Jeremy! They're always super awesome.
Between this MK and the last one, I'd say this one edges it out as better, but my favorite was Ultimate MK 3. When the combos came into it, I was hooked. My least favorite was the DC vs MK. Solid fighting game, but these 2 worlds didn't belong together. I'm so glad they separated them, because Injustice is fantastic as well. My favorite fatality is probably the original sub-zero head/spine rip. I was floored the first time I saw that in the arcade.
