bad decisions characters made, MCU plot with random infinity stones inclusion, annoying characters and plotlines that really didn’t matter. The best part was the beginning ambush and the choreography was a good step up. MK has lost all its aura and feel lmao its really a shell
its so underwhelming ive just now know Khaos Reign is out. Nobody in my circles talks about it. I play every fighter and even some competitively and nobody mentionned it lol
Wait.... There's no Lobbies!? That aside, you are right about The current game with the new Karachters being much better than, poke, poke, duck, poke, throw then poke. We need HYPE BULLSHIT!
Yes sir, we need more of that. Like what we see in Tekken8 there’s a lot of hyped BS there, the power there is high across the roster, there’s certain characters there also that does unga bonga sh1t, which is what General Shao should do for someone of his power as he been known in MK klassic games, he was powerful Hyped sh1t boss.

Oh and don't even get me started on what a disappointment the Warrior Shrine is. It took them an additional year and an extra price tag of $50 more to implement a glorified ranking system? I've seen indie devs make an entire game in a year's time. What are these triple A game developers smoking?
Quite a presentation here Tom… I can easily grasp all this, comprehend and agree to what was said, however it’s not that easy to change certain things when you’re limited by position. It’s a lot of pressure, we only do what we’re told with deadlines and high expectations from higher-ups.
it's also a sad reality, but what's funny is that this toxic behavior of these incompetent business leaders in gaming destroys licenses and when this is the case they strangely do what they should have done for a long time, we saw it clearly with call of duty last year
Understood ✌🏼. It seems like what Tom is doing with these videos is the best response we as a community can have towards those higher-ups without becoming unreasonabley rude. Although us paying money to play the game is an even trade-off towards the work devs put in. Meaning I'm entitled to whatever opinion, regardless of the NRS workplace struggles.
Superb point about viewers watching enticing fighting content versus poking. The combat scene should be fun and draw viewers to the game, instead of catering exclusively to pro players only which leaves lower viewer ratings at tournaments. Splendid video.

i think the game is fun but i agree, i just think they need a non cameo mode and give all characters new moves to work without cameos. it would make the game even more complex and people would like the game more.
This series hasn’t been right since MK X. And I’m not even talking about how the game has less features and modes. Mortal kombat 1 feels like shit to play. It’s janky. Most of the characters can’t do anything fun. The gameplay has been restrictive since mk 11. I don’t know how they make such fun to play games (Mk 9, X) and just go in the other direction. Blows my mind.

Imagine how good this game were without Kameosytem, but because of the shit nobody asked for, they have to fix their game a million times. Now they got something like a loop with cyrax. So they have to fix again how things should work. They could take 2-3 pro gamers to test new fighters before release and they tell you after one day whats to strong, you can loop with him/her you have to decrease or increase this or that and then release your fighters
Even if they make the gameplay of mk1 good, all the damage that's been done to the story and characters is irreversible, and that's half of why i love mortal kombat. sad to see MK in this state.
They should have stoped at the reseted timeline idea, the infinite timelines with crazy versions of every character is terrible, thats what was wrong with the previous games, turned MK lore into a joke. I loved this new reimagining of the MK story when they first announced it, it had such potential. Also the kameos are so annoying, i rarely use them and i hate that they need to be present in every match. MK is suposted to be a 1x1 fight to the death not a WWE tag team. I wish they made the kameos optional.
I said this the other day. There was soo much potential there but they chose to go on the multiverse of madness bullshit. It went from just defending earth realm to defending a whole fucking timeline 🤣😂
I spent good money on getting the ultimate edition of this game thinking I’d get all DLC included just for NRS to say “hey you gotta cough up another $50 to get this content.” Yea I’m good. This game can die for all I care. Oh wait
That's your fault. It was well described what was you getting with the game's each edition. And you also had MK11 as an example. NRS made the exact same dlc content (two KP and a story expansion) for that game. Don't blame others for you having spent money blindly.
the game needs to be combo heavy and fast kind of like MKX. I don't know why they keep taking the run mechanic out of MK, running makes the game fast. People love MK because it's full of bullshit characters doing bullshit things lol
The run mechanic turns every character into a rush down character is actually extremely boring and lacks play styles. It also breaks neutral. One button that breaks neutral is not good in any fighting game. It’s just the way it is. So from the game design perspective this is why they do not include it anymore. This is why wave dashing is important. It takes skill so there’s a skill gap and you can move very fast. Look at pro movement and Mortal Kombat nine. It is faster than Mortal Kombat one and Mortal Kombat 11.
@@BattleBrotherCasten I disagree. MKX had rushdown, zoners and setup characters and also characters that controlled the neutral. One character alone had mutiple playstyles. Kano Cutthroat: rushdown Kano Laser Variation: neutral and combos Kano Commander: Grappler That was just one example i‘m not gonna mention every single one. And also the run mechanic was NOT a skip neutral button. It just keeps the game exciting and fast paced.
Its an improvement, but is it enough to make me play more than an hour ever again? Fuck no. MK1 is a permanently be demoted to "play like 4 matches and get off" category
One issue i have with noob is the green magic he has. Ik it's a new timeline but how many characters are gona have green flare? Just in this this we got ermac, both cyrax, reptile, Janet c, quan chi, Shang, chameleon and now noob. Greens my favorite colour but it almost feels to much 😅
Meh and iffy is the nicest way I have seen anyone describe the story. It was one of the worst written story modes ever made. The cutscenes looked great though.
The story mode in the expansion is unbelievably bad. The characters still look extremely unappealing. The costume designs are ugly. The characters themselves don't look good because the female characters don't have any curves and the male characters don't have any muscle. Invasions mode is still complete garbage. It's completely stupid how much storage space this game requires. Especially on console. Both Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6 are still better to play overall than Mortal Kombat 1.
There are 2 problems. First problem is that NRS creating every MK from scratch… second problem is that NRS started pandering to DEI, SBI and WOKE CULT since MKX/MK11
Mk1 is so overpriced for a unfinished game the dlc story was unbelievable bad the ninja charters should of been in the game in the first place but no we have to another 50 bucks to play as them even if there in the game mk is a joke
So I hardly ever play I don't learn metas or care about them I love Johnny always have since I started playing mk games him and noob have been my favorites always so i play them no matter what. Johnny was meta for a time never learned how to play him how everyone was cause its not fun. I haven't played since the first titan fight happened and coming back I fell in love with the game again just because it does feel different to fight people. Also sub is fun to play make his ice ball faster and he'll be better
Cyrax story arc was completely unnecessary. DEI girl power all over. Unlike MK1, they allowed some "toxic masculinity" with Lt. Col. Johnathan Cage's dialogue towards Sector. Sadly, they had to have Cage playing the part of a man from the 40's for it to be OK...since it would be TERRIBLE for a man to talk like that nowadays lol. There was lost potential everywhere with the Havik storyline. Stupid love interest between Sector and Bi Han. We paid for a resolution to the story and got "Bi Han needs to chill far away for everyone to be safe." That being said: new battle stages looked great. Doom 2016-esque metal music. darker and grittier than MK1's original feel. Call me old for growing up on the original trilogy...but I agree with the creator of this video. I'm not into the frame counting, poke, all that BS that started up around 2010...gimme back my Ultimate MK3 where Kabal, Sindel and Sub Zero are broken and whoop up on everything. I'll still grind through as Lui Kang or Smoke and enjoy every second of it more than what Warner Bros is doing to this franchise. All that being said: I spent my money, waited a year, played through it and immediately removed it from my PS5 to make more space for other games. Back to Space Marine 2 where the developers understand their audience.
I really loved that we finally got Onaga back and a redeeming story arc to save the franchise. Nevermind, that didn't happen. Who wants some Kamidogu Infinity Stones drowned in a gravy of DEI girl power with Captain America Johnny Cage?
Why would anyone in the right mind pay $50 for this clear cash grab? Literally every WB game the last few years have been unfinished, trash games. I watched the story mode on TH-cam for free and was still disappointed with how much they ruined this franchise.
Depending on who you’re watching you won’t see pokes as much as you seem to think there was. Just don’t watch beginners and you wouldn’t see so many pokes
I bought the game and I didn’t really play it because I didn’t like what it became. Tom is right. MK was beloved because everyone can do b.s. in their own way. Look at MKX. We loved that game because it was beautifully broken. Now I’ll definitely try the game and try the new characters.
I understand fighting games my fave genre been playing them my whole life. I thought the expansion was a 7 out of 10. Netherrealm does not care about everyone's lore or gameplay gripes they are innovating on their own terms and cannot and def are not trying to please everyone. what happened to just quitting on not playing a game if it's not offering the content you want.saying they don't know what they're doing is a farce it seems like all everyone wants is a completely broken mk game where everyone is OP and have everything they want. this game is a lot better than it was originally and will be balanced better in time ,which is usually the case for every MK game since 9. they do this evey title it's never going to be the same, and what's wrong with a poke, nobody pokes besides ppl who don't learn the combos
Mannn, you know they gonna start nerfing characters because people complain too much. Instead of learning how to beat the issue...I'm still hesitant about MK, but it seems like they're doing something interesting to the extent.
"Freedom of expression"....when you want to enforce this, you have what you have. In order to compete, some rules need to be pre-established and a set of abilities rewarded. If you want freedom and creativity enormously, go write a story, compose some music. Competition without any restrictions is a party, not a competition. That is why MK is never taken seriously competitively: Even a guy that is considered a well know player in the scene, is asking for bullshit.
What is up with character politics in NRS games?! How does Cyrax have a better freeze projectile than sub zero plus bombs resets etc?! Like wtf NRS lmao and the gameplay is very inconsistent. I drop combo’s online like 8/10 times and than I loose my turn..
I dont get why u all play the game in the first place when all u can do is yap around and complain, yes the story wasnt impactful but i still enjoyed watching it, we finally got a bunch of skins, new new chars who are cool, completely free animalities and nice buffs plus brutalities and all u can do is cry and complain, u are all a bunch of jokes pls just delete the game on ur platform and stop playing it So u stop crying around about it all the time
When mk1 released and every was noticing every character was neutered from their previous renditions ik they we gonna SELL the sauce of this game. Its to the point only the dlc is payable. If you didnt spend that extra dollar have fun enjoying this game competitive wise
i can tell you why they dont have practice or training mode when w8ing on a game it beacuse they want you to buy skins practice or training mode and i say its not NRS doing this it is. its Warner Brothers Studios wanting to make more money
If they do what they did to reptile to others characters game will be good reptile became better but more fun to play in a kitana main and it just piss me off everytime I get online
Takeda just got NERFED but Li Mei/Mileena/Kitana/NITARA still got OD damage! Unreal but they give a restand combos for Kano in the corner for 60%+ no biggie right?! 🙄
@@musicislyfe1672 Yeah I have np with her or Kitana but they get easy 3 bar 52%+ combos which is good but my Takeda 49% every little thing counts! Li Mei and Nitara need a dmg nerf no doubt thise 2 get way over 55%
I feel super bad for the people who spent 50$ in optimism trying to support netherealm lmfao they don’t give a shit about y’all rn im glad injustice didnt drop but they probably will do the same to injustice at this point
if they do that it's because they are really stupid the fighting game market is evolving, we have other interesting fighting games played out of injustice and mk, let them continue their bullshit
The story was super shit.
It wasn't as bad as part 1 to my surprise
Part 1 was good til the end. Im sooo sick of the multiverse crap. Part 2 was messy. Still not the worst I seen but it wasnt the best
That's what happens when stuff gets rushed. Money grab NRS strikes again.
It was worse than the original
It's the same quality as mk11 and aftermath and y'all glazed that trash up. What changed? Finally woke up?
sigh.... ya'll still don't get it.... Nrs won't listen to ya'll.. The only thing they'll listen to is YOUR money.....
Yeah and if they keep improving the game I’ll give them more money that’s the point

your right
Story mode was so laughably trash, they clearly don’t know what to do anymore
So fking true. The ending is absolute hilariously bad

Imagine how good this game were without Kameosytem, but because of the shit nobody asked for, they have to fix their game a million times. Now they got something like a loop with cyrax. So they have to fix again how things should work. They could take 2-3 pro gamers to test new fighters before release and they tell you after one day whats to strong, you can loop with him/her you have to decrease or increase this or that and then release your fighters
Even if they make the gameplay of mk1 good, all the damage that's been done to the story and characters is irreversible, and that's half of why i love mortal kombat. sad to see MK in this state.
As stupid as this sounds I think we need another reboot it doesn’t live up to the hype mk11 built it up to be
They should have stoped at the reseted timeline idea, the infinite timelines with crazy versions of every character is terrible, thats what was wrong with the previous games, turned MK lore into a joke. I loved this new reimagining of the MK story when they first announced it, it had such potential. Also the kameos are so annoying, i rarely use them and i hate that they need to be present in every match. MK is suposted to be a 1x1 fight to the death not a WWE tag team. I wish they made the kameos optional.
I said this the other day. There was soo much potential there but they chose to go on the multiverse of madness bullshit. It went from just defending earth realm to defending a whole fucking timeline 🤣😂
I spent good money on getting the ultimate edition of this game thinking I’d get all DLC included just for NRS to say “hey you gotta cough up another $50 to get this content.” Yea I’m good. This game can die for all I care. Oh wait
Fr bro why they so money hungry at nrs multi billion dollar company need an extra £40 from our pockets
That's your fault. It was well described what was you getting with the game's each edition.
And you also had MK11 as an example. NRS made the exact same dlc content (two KP and a story expansion) for that game.
Don't blame others for you having spent money blindly.
the game needs to be combo heavy and fast kind of like MKX.
I don't know why they keep taking the run mechanic out of MK, running makes the game fast.
People love MK because it's full of bullshit characters doing bullshit things lol
The run mechanic turns every character into a rush down character is actually extremely boring and lacks play styles. It also breaks neutral. One button that breaks neutral is not good in any fighting game. It’s just the way it is. So from the game design perspective this is why they do not include it anymore. This is why wave dashing is important. It takes skill so there’s a skill gap and you can move very fast. Look at pro movement and Mortal Kombat nine. It is faster than Mortal Kombat one and Mortal Kombat 11.
There have been way more mk games without running than with. It’s not a staple of the franchise.
@@BattleBrotherCasten I disagree. MKX had rushdown, zoners and setup characters and also characters that controlled the neutral.
One character alone had mutiple playstyles.
Kano Cutthroat: rushdown
Kano Laser Variation: neutral and combos
Kano Commander: Grappler
That was just one example i‘m not gonna mention every single one. And also the run mechanic was NOT a skip neutral button. It just keeps the game exciting and fast paced.
The MCU brain rot from the writing team is powerful
Personally, I am really enjoying it and I was pretty critical in the beginning but to be honest, I am having fun playing
This expansion is legalized robbery 😂.
As someone who likes multiple timelines the story mode was so horribly trash
Still not buying that's the answer.
Mk1 is good now but story mode is trash
Its an improvement, but is it enough to make me play more than an hour ever again? Fuck no. MK1 is a permanently be demoted to "play like 4 matches and get off" category
You're attacking from a distance?! There are rules!!! (Wakanda accent)
One issue i have with noob is the green magic he has. Ik it's a new timeline but how many characters are gona have green flare? Just in this this we got ermac, both cyrax, reptile, Janet c, quan chi, Shang, chameleon and now noob. Greens my favorite colour but it almost feels to much 😅
I hope they add the option to change that portal color of his back to purple in the near future
Leveling him up unlocks a palette with purple instead of green.
I didn't even bother to play the actual game to see what happens in the story, i just watched it on YT...😂
Story was meh and iffy, but the animation and visual effects are absolutely gorgeous
Meh and iffy is the nicest way I have seen anyone describe the story. It was one of the worst written story modes ever made. The cutscenes looked great though.
Raiden definitely needs help. He’s been bad for months
I'm convinced nobody ar NRS plays fighting games 😅💀
The story mode in the expansion is unbelievably bad.
The characters still look extremely unappealing. The costume designs are ugly. The characters themselves don't look good because the female characters don't have any curves and the male characters don't have any muscle.
Invasions mode is still complete garbage.
It's completely stupid how much storage space this game requires. Especially on console.
Both Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6 are still better to play overall than Mortal Kombat 1.
And the new Fatal Fury may be the last nail in the coffin.
NRS needs to buff all main fighters, cameos that extend combos and nerf kano knives and stuff like that which keeps u safe.
People will say someone is broken before the character comes out.
I really hope they don't nerf anyone. We NEED more buffs!! Still waiting for the Sub buffs or good adjustments
This game is so behind other fighting games franchises. How can a HUGE studio do a work like that?
There are 2 problems. First problem is that NRS creating every MK from scratch… second problem is that NRS started pandering to DEI, SBI and WOKE CULT since MKX/MK11
Because NRS is also lazy and doesn't develop a game long enough.
Game is GOOD nerfs are the problems!
They put their eggs in one basket that’s what happened
Mk1 is so overpriced for a unfinished game the dlc story was unbelievable bad the ninja charters should of been in the game in the first place but no we have to another 50 bucks to play as them even if there in the game mk is a joke
So I hardly ever play I don't learn metas or care about them I love Johnny always have since I started playing mk games him and noob have been my favorites always so i play them no matter what. Johnny was meta for a time never learned how to play him how everyone was cause its not fun. I haven't played since the first titan fight happened and coming back I fell in love with the game again just because it does feel different to fight people. Also sub is fun to play make his ice ball faster and he'll be better
The story was a joke with a focus more on weird cringe shipping and alternate versions of our characters than making something interesting
Cyrax story arc was completely unnecessary. DEI girl power all over. Unlike MK1, they allowed some "toxic masculinity" with Lt. Col. Johnathan Cage's dialogue towards Sector. Sadly, they had to have Cage playing the part of a man from the 40's for it to be OK...since it would be TERRIBLE for a man to talk like that nowadays lol. There was lost potential everywhere with the Havik storyline. Stupid love interest between Sector and Bi Han. We paid for a resolution to the story and got "Bi Han needs to chill far away for everyone to be safe." That being said: new battle stages looked great. Doom 2016-esque metal music. darker and grittier than MK1's original feel. Call me old for growing up on the original trilogy...but I agree with the creator of this video. I'm not into the frame counting, poke, all that BS that started up around 2010...gimme back my Ultimate MK3 where Kabal, Sindel and Sub Zero are broken and whoop up on everything. I'll still grind through as Lui Kang or Smoke and enjoy every second of it more than what Warner Bros is doing to this franchise. All that being said: I spent my money, waited a year, played through it and immediately removed it from my PS5 to make more space for other games. Back to Space Marine 2 where the developers understand their audience.
I really loved that we finally got Onaga back and a redeeming story arc to save the franchise.
Nevermind, that didn't happen. Who wants some Kamidogu Infinity Stones drowned in a gravy of DEI girl power with Captain America Johnny Cage?
Why would anyone in the right mind pay $50 for this clear cash grab? Literally every WB game the last few years have been unfinished, trash games. I watched the story mode on TH-cam for free and was still disappointed with how much they ruined this franchise.
Too little, waaay too late. Stop rewarding them for this second rate kashgrab.
So are u basically saying that the MK 1 game that we bought was incomplete?😏
Nobody is trying to talk bout the story that wat we wanna hear.....
Give mileena full screen projectiles, I think it’s bullshit, she’s not good, very few strings compared to mkx.
i really really really really really hope the confusing time line stuff goes away
There clearly was Khaos in the story because the writers don't know what they're doing.
The best parts was when havic showed up the music and the feel then the rest trash 😂😂 like button please
Let’s go, Tom is uploading again
Depending on who you’re watching you won’t see pokes as much as you seem to think there was. Just don’t watch beginners and you wouldn’t see so many pokes
I watched the story online for free and the game itself is uninstalled 😂
I bought the game and I didn’t really play it because I didn’t like what it became. Tom is right. MK was beloved because everyone can do b.s. in their own way. Look at MKX. We loved that game because it was beautifully broken. Now I’ll definitely try the game and try the new characters.
how good is mk after dlc
the same but you got some more characters now ..video done
I understand fighting games my fave genre been playing them my whole life. I thought the expansion was a 7 out of 10. Netherrealm does not care about everyone's lore or gameplay gripes they are innovating on their own terms and cannot and def are not trying to please everyone. what happened to just quitting on not playing a game if it's not offering the content you want.saying they don't know what they're doing is a farce it seems like all everyone wants is a completely broken mk game where everyone is OP and have everything they want. this game is a lot better than it was originally and will be balanced better in time ,which is usually the case for every MK game since 9. they do this evey title it's never going to be the same, and what's wrong with a poke, nobody pokes besides ppl who don't learn the combos
Mannn, you know they gonna start nerfing characters because people complain too much. Instead of learning how to beat the issue...I'm still hesitant about MK, but it seems like they're doing something interesting to the extent.
"Freedom of expression"....when you want to enforce this, you have what you have.
In order to compete, some rules need to be pre-established and a set of abilities rewarded.
If you want freedom and creativity enormously, go write a story, compose some music.
Competition without any restrictions is a party, not a competition.
That is why MK is never taken seriously competitively: Even a guy that is considered a well know player in the scene, is asking for bullshit.
What is up with character politics in NRS games?! How does Cyrax have a better freeze projectile than sub zero plus bombs resets etc?! Like wtf NRS lmao and the gameplay is very inconsistent. I drop combo’s online like 8/10 times and than I loose my turn..
Is it possible to buy the new dlc sektor, cyrax, and noob salbot without paying a high expensive khaos dlc.
I dont get why u all play the game in the first place when all u can do is yap around and complain, yes the story wasnt impactful but i still enjoyed watching it, we finally got a bunch of skins, new new chars who are cool, completely free animalities and nice buffs plus brutalities and all u can do is cry and complain, u are all a bunch of jokes pls just delete the game on ur platform and stop playing it So u stop crying around about it all the time
When mk1 released and every was noticing every character was neutered from their previous renditions ik they we gonna SELL the sauce of this game. Its to the point only the dlc is payable. If you didnt spend that extra dollar have fun enjoying this game competitive wise
i can tell you why they dont have practice or training mode when w8ing on a game it beacuse they want you to buy skins practice or training mode and i say its not NRS doing this it is. its Warner Brothers Studios wanting to make more money
If they do what they did to reptile to others characters game will be good reptile became better but more fun to play in a kitana main and it just piss me off everytime I get online
Tom the title says “updade” not update lol
Nrs can keep the high damage i dont understand why they would reduce damage thats the only non problematic thing in this game
Do not nerf anyone
Takeda just got NERFED but Li Mei/Mileena/Kitana/NITARA still got OD damage! Unreal but they give a restand combos for Kano in the corner for 60%+ no biggie right?! 🙄
@@Mr_Wht they need to leave mileena alone just the way she is.
@@musicislyfe1672 Yeah I have np with her or Kitana but they get easy 3 bar 52%+ combos which is good but my Takeda 49% every little thing counts!
Li Mei and Nitara need a dmg nerf no doubt thise 2 get way over 55%
“ A game where you have a bunch of bulkshit characters “ that took me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂
the video comparisons almost made me redownload the game 🤣 idk im just not reeled back in with MK
NRS has usually always been good on the look and feel of things, but fail everywhere else
it makes me sad as hell what im seeing happening to this game
MK1 is in a good place right now. Good changes
Agreed 100% watching cryax vs sektor matches makes me wanna play the game again
The man has a point yall complain way to much. But they did fuck over sub zero
Im still trying to do instant air supers with cable. Its a tiger knee? I cant do it
"But you bought it! And now you can't return it!" - Michael G. Scott
A big part of the mk community just want the same shit on a different plate. This game is fun, if you are not having fun go play another game
The Khaos Reigns update is fustrating
I feel super bad for the people who spent 50$ in optimism trying to support netherealm lmfao they don’t give a shit about y’all rn im glad injustice didnt drop but they probably will do the same to injustice at this point
if they do that it's because they are really stupid the fighting game market is evolving, we have other interesting fighting games played out of injustice and mk, let them continue their bullshit
I'm not. At all. They should have known better.
And many still might not learned the lesson.
It wasn't good and it still isn't good lmao, what a joke of a game.
