      Well, I managed to finish Special Forces, but I couldn't finish the earth level on Mythologies without emulating the game and using save states. So at least Special Forces as bad as it is, it's still playable and it can be beat without memorizing each screen of every level in the game.
      And Shaolin Monks is great, especially in co-op .

Also, he mind controlled Kitana to fight sindel but jade fought her instead while Sindel used magical spell to restore Onaga to his tomb whole jabbing her spear in the corpse killing him (Alternate non canon ending).

It then presumably went to his father before going to Sub Zero/Bi Han/Noob Saibot. When he died, the title then went to his little brother, Tundra/Kuai Liang/Sub Zero (original/actual/current for both).

      Same here. Now that he's back, it almost feels like we took ProJared's reviews for granted. That's what it felt like in that dark, empty space when his reviews stopped for awhile. Like it was cold, dark, sad and empty, with no chance of Jared making a comeback, but when I heard even PBG was willing to defend Jared, I wondered if it was worth all the hate. I realized that Austin was a real friend to Jared. He didn't care about losing subs, he just wanted to protect his friend. I felt stupid for mindlessly jumping onto the bandwagon of hatred like the majority of people. I'm usually a loyal person, and don't just jump onto bandwagons without thinking, but this time, I did. I felt bad about it when I began to hear that Jared wasn't guilty after all. I should've given him a chance to speak for himself instead of just agreeing with almost everyone else that he was guilty. I mean, I almost came close to agreeing with dspigroach on something! That's how bad it got! I'm just glad this is all in the past, and that ProJared's back. I too missed these reviews, dude. I still miss the old intro and him saying what game he's playing, but, it's not like the video's themselves aren't still hilarious. Like the FFV review. I mean, he bought back the old "oh, an RPG where you have to collect the treasure of the 4 elements" joke. He's back and on top of his game. Let's hope it stays that way this time. I'm just glad Jared could forgive people who doubted him. He really is someone worth looking up to, along with Austin.

    The fighting game controls could've worked if instead of turning around, they just implemented a lock on mechanic or something. That would have fixed not only combat but navigating the levels, since you would turn automatically. It wouldn't fix the god awful "level design," but it would make playing the game much more bearable.

    Scorpion doesn’t use any special moves during his first fight because he’s not a specter at that point. Scorpion only became a specter and gained his powers after he died.

They are more of a traditional RPG like final fantasy about saving the world and recruiting a big party and junk but the alchemy stuff is still there and you have to dissolve objects in the field to collect their mana and create consumables and equipment. The old games aren't all that amazing or anything but I still mourn for what could have been if they had continued making real JRPGs with those unique mechanics.

I remember having this game back when it first came out and at the time I was at the pinnacle of my MK/Subzero love, yet despite my constant efforts I could NOT pass Fujin at fucking all. It was always the same thing, get lucky and beat him and then have him do that fucking tornado and just loose, period.
    Funny how as SOON as I saw the thumbnail for this video it just all came flooding back to me and all those hours if not days wasted on that specific fucking stage and yet never passing it lol.
    Ahhhh...Memories.

      but with shity controls, give subspace emissary some credit, its combat was okay, and wasn't out of nowhere if you played melee

      @@kyokonull I just really dislike it. I wanted more emissary: Give the cutscenes with an actual plot to follow, and let me beat the shit out of a unique group of original enemies instead of slightly different and easily exploitable regular character fights to obtain JPEGS.
      At least the bit with master hand was cool.

      oh honestly this game was pretty much impossible to beat without the "infinite" lives code. And yea...to beat him omg it was so hard, you had to freeze him at the right moment, then go behind him and take his necklace I think....

    Jared I think you are mixed up. Stryker is awesome, so you are giving the game a good score. You need to give it like a Kintaro out of ten or something.

    • @javib2978
      @javib2978 Před 6 měsíci +1

      Mortal Kombat 1 feels like reimagining of the series. No retcons or connections to the original Mortal Kombat timeline. That game felt something like the original game, a new fresh take and back to its roots.
