Yo True do you play your viewers as well?

Plain and simple: The game was released too early and then neglected in updates. The lack of new content in the last 7 months is unacceptable
Facts. That's it. Just that simple.
@@skysandstorms4303 it had the potential and should have been the best MK game TO DATE. But it was executed poorly unfortunately. A Triple A studio making what looks like the work of 3 guys in a basement
What in the world are you talking about. Have you been living under a rock.
Last 7 months? Guess you missed the Peacemaker hype.
@@lol_KANYA No, I remember the Peacemakers launch- and the 15 day delay for a lackluster update, FINALLY getting crossplay that should’ve been there already, and mistaking Mileenas season for haviks and launching the ugliest color pallets we’ve seen so far
Fun Fact: It's called MK1 because they took 10 steps back from MK11.
Damnnnn
lol 😂 that’s a good one!!
Lmfao 😂😭🤣
I still have fun playing mk11
@@princenoreally that's good, I'm glad you enjoy it.
I couldn't
I low-key hate the kameo system, the lack of customization and the lack of single player modes really makes MK1 a very lackluster game.
I dont get the kameos. MK is 1v1 death battles. Alot of the voice actors sound lamer/wimpier than mk11. MK1 is not an improvement from mk11.
@@FieldBoy111i’ve been saying this idk how people think mk1 is better then mk11. On top of that the story was terrible. Mk11 story was better imo.
@@johnnycage1661i felt more impact for Sonya’s death in 11 than sindel in mk1 lol
@@johnnycage1661Exactly mk1 story goes down
This!!
I'm surprised they haven't made a no kameo mode yet, considering it's one of the main reasons people have left the game.
I think NRS is just being lazy honestly. Remember how long it took them to get rid of the Desync and replay issues? They’ve been bombing this game. I still like it a lot don’t get me wrong, but they’re taking a step back. MK11 was already mid and they’re making it happen to this new one.
Kameo sucks...
agreed. its a unique concept but it shouldve been a seperate mode not the standard mode. kinda like no building in fortnite as an immediate example.
@@NateDogg8866mk11 was infinitely better than mk1
@@theyenvy1368 MK11 was extremely stiff and slow paced. It’s pretty good for basic MK players, but it was overruled by its wonky mechanics. It was a huge downgrade from MKX.
Not having a Krypt is crazy
*Krazy
I thought the crypt was so boring.
@Lance.Gardenhire boring or not it's been a staple of mortal kombat since the 3D era it was used in like 8 of the 12 games in the primary franchise idk about the psp games or nun
It was way better than this stupid shrine that feels like playing a really slow slot machine.
@@chasejones6164 yea I dont get why it doesn't let you do multiple purchases at once. I have a shit ton of money but I dont wanna spend a shit load of time pressing x over and over and over again.
Some reasons i've read.
1: Some people don't like the kameo mechanic
2: Way less customization
3: Having to grind each character to get unlocks (which feels like it gets nerfed if new patch)
4: As a result of #3, the loss of A.I. battles to level for you.
5: Way to many characters have gimmick mechanics that you have to use (Kenshi, Johnny, Shao, etc etc)
with 5 just adapt
Yea 5 isn’t that bad. What’s more annoying is people running away from you (but then that’s not every fight either)
I feel like the balancing is horrendous
No actually it’s no buffs
The last one is complaining for the sake of complaining. Would you want every character to be the same? I don’t think so.
Requiring everything to be online is a big reason for me. I have internet, sure but i live in an area where its not always great, or maybe im visiting family without it and i want to play some matches with my cousins or something, the fact that u lose access to 85% of the game if you arent online is a HUGE turnoff for any game imo.
Preach brother.
"What went wrong?"
My gut reaction: EVERYTHING lol
Does anyone else just miss the simple gameplay and days of MKX?
MkX didn't have "simple gameplay" but yes def
I think factions was really cool simple feature that changed the background of the menus and gave some extra fatality options. And variations was awesome. Run cancels was the only thing that made mkx gameplay not simple.
If by simple you mean mix or be mixed then yes lol
@@lionellrichards3456 I think it was just fast paced and instinctive. Took me a while to adjust to the movement of MK11 after being so used to running and run cancelling
I mainly just miss Takeda, waiting for him to finally become playable in MK1.
1. NOBODY WANTED JANET CAGE
2. Kross play still missing king of hill
3. No chat rooms
4. No practice mode while waiting load in like king of the hill.
5. Lack of soundtrack
6. Invasions garbage
7. Miss the krypt
8. Micro trans (not that bad)
9. No gold skins on cameo
10. No 2v2
11. You enjoy a character then get nerferd
"Nobody" ☠️☠️☠️
Don't forget a fake ass scorpion
How DARE you type all the truth in one comment 😮. Also… in my humble opinion. I feel like they half assed characters to try and make Kameos relevant but it just didn’t workout for me. I hate Kameos. Give me full fledged characters.
Not gonna lie people just be complaining just to complain but This list is super coherent and understandable except number 1 cause Janet Cage is a strong Kameo
@@JusDarkSage My only beef is them not being playable
I miss playing Deception. It was so fun and wandering around on a quest in a fighting game while learning special fighting movies from characters like Scorpion. I miss that game.
I wish they re released Deadly Alliance, Shaolin Monks and Deception on Switch as a 3 game pack.
Kameo system being mandatory is definitely a big reason why im not a huge fan of this one. I still had fun while playing it and the system can be cool, but I definitely prefer just a straight 1v1.
To say players are “complaining” while we paid 110$ for content and a game that wasn’t finished is mad disrespectful and mad wild.
What, because of the Kombat packs? Are you gonna consider every expansion pack "Paying for a game that's not finished?"
You do realize that sometimes games Come up with those expansions when they weren't even planned content, right?
If you're talking about the invasions and stuff I haven't the foggiest what you mean, because those feel like they were made finished, just with the balancing a little confused. And the story? It's fully done, besides that one cliffhanger at the end. That could be to set up an expansion OR a sequel.
@@MementoMori7777 no im not saying that. I’m saying it’s lacking content. Here’s an example: Santa Monica studios gave their players an expansion/game mode. FOR FREE. So you’re used to paying for stuff when not needed.
Why would you even pay $110 for a fkn game😂
@@xacvhFAs to be totally honest it was my second preorder and Call of duty was so good with that, I thought this game was at that caliber. Boy was I wrong 😅🙂↕️🙂↔️
What word would you replace complaining with?
I really dislike the cameo system. I wish all the carakters could stand on thier own legs without it
That’s my biggest problem every kharacter feels locked w.o the right kameo
It's also a cheap and extremely transparent grift to make the roster appear larger than it actually is.
I had a problem with it, hopefully they add 1on1 fights
MK11 Krypt was such an amazing feature. It was another game, went into the lore and history of MK.
I dont even play mortal Kombat any more, haven't played since MKX but I love watching your videos.
It sucks to see fighting games lose people’s interest because of terrible micro-transactions. All of the recent fighting game big 3 (SF6, MK1, TK8) have suffered from the same issues.
Except mk1 have nothing except the gameplay ; the others 2 have a lot of modes . Mk 1 ? Nothing to do except online .
@@mazeluchi9508 I’m not saying that MK1 has it worse. I’m just disappointed that all of these games are making greedy or stupid decisions when they already have a great thing going for them. SF6 had issues because their micro-transactions don’t let you buy the thing you want. You have to get the $10 option to buy the $6 character, and you are left with SF6 coins that you can’t do anything with. Tekken has a battle pass that’s 80% filled with avatar costumes and 10% character cosmetics. You can’t even have modded costumes without the risk of getting banned. MK1 is also insane for having $10-$15 for a single costume which is way more than the average DLC character.
@@chefv1deogame i agree with you ; im just Saying AT least in Tekken and street fighter you Can Do things without the online mode ; mk have only the online mode ; all others mode are boring .and Tekken have a lot of customisation you dont need to buy anything
SF6 and MK1 are bad with their micro transactions but what I’ve Hurd from Tekken 8 it’s alright I Hurd but £55 for turtle if you don’t have coins is obscured.
@@Garagelab164 Tekken 8 is fine, but the battle pass sucks. You barely get anything cool from completing it.
If invasions was open world like how the krypt in mk11 was, it would’ve been the most 🔥 thing in the game. Especially if you still had fight encounters. Even if it had to transition to the fights, the live action encounter would’ve been epic for this game.
Now I think it would be epic to make invasions mode open world in the new MK game when it releases
Like MK Deception! I'll have that!
Love your content keep up the great work
I just got here and at the very end of the video i out loud said you're comments are nice cause you have a chill vibe
Tbh I got bored with online, one guy can only stand people running away the whole game then t bagging until you start wanting to smash your head on your desk
That’s kinda true with all fighting games
Might be true but in mk lets say u started playing by your 5th game you will be matched against a dude who never hopped off@nol75
The reason I got tired of it wasn't because of the gameplay, but instead Invasions mode was too grindy for me. It felt like I was putting hours into it just to get a couple costumes which wasn't the case with towers.
The character grind is the worse. You have to play with one character the whole season just to max it out.
As far as the shareholders are concerned, _nothing went wrong._ They sold 3M+ copies. FGC people need to stop deluding themselves into thinking that a game's ongoing popularity is at all relevant to its "success"; all they care about are selling copies of the game. They don't give a crap if people never play it; if anything, that's convenient.
Tekken 7 had a long life as a popular fighting game, yet I guarantee you it still made the bulk of its revenue within a month or two of release... from game sales.
If we get to the point where fighting games are free and supported by microtransactions, this could change, but as long as they're charging $60-$110 for each copy of the game, that's _always_ going to dwarf any recurring revenue streams.
the biggest problem with mortal kombat is that every few years they make a new game that costs a fuckton instead of making one game and keeping all the fun characters in it and just updating it.
Second problem is that the games are giga expensive + u have to buy dlcs just to play new characters + cosmetics are expensive too. Its just a big cashgrab
The first part is untrue because mk11 was out for five years before mk1 was even released. Also like at the rate they’re going with dlc fighters, it’s gonna be a long time until we see a brand new game.
Second part I agree with, they did not cook with their roster and I guarantee you that they just saved the best characters to stand behind a paywall
The game would be better if :
1. If NRS put an option to not use the kameo system
2. No invasions mode
3. No more multiverse nonsense
4 . Tag Team mode
5. This is more of a personal one but maybe adding classic stages from the old games like the Subway stage and the Bank stage from MK3.
Or you know make online work.
I disagree with you about invasions , actually this Mode IS way more better than tot and Krypt For me personally
Another dishonorable mention: bastardizations of returning characters such as Havik and Nitara (Megan Fox as the voice actor is only the tip of the iceberg for what went wrong with her).
Haven't bought the game yet and haven't really cared to do research on the game, but from your comment I'm just finding out now that there's no option to disable kameo fighters. That is the dumbest thing ever. I thought without a doubt that they would allow the option. 🤦🏻♂️
Ty for mentioning the multiverse BS
I don't mind microtransactions in games like Fortnite or League of Legends as much because they are free to play games. MK1 is a fully priced, paid dlc game. I don't want to pay for alternate colors or skins when I already paid $100+ to play the game and the additional characters. If MK1 launched as a free to play game with microtransactions I don't think people would be fussing over it and I think the player count would be higher. Conversely, if the game just stuck to the price tag with no microtransactions there would be a similar player count to a free to play model.
I'm so glad someone made this video. Missing so much in this game
Honestly for me I miss having the towers where you can unlock costumes, brutility etc. and doing invasion just to unlock 1 costume and you have to keep grinding just takes up too much time. That is my reason because i stopped playing it a while ago.
The portal area has those seasonal towers to do that, and the chast scattered around the invasion areas Hand them out.
I'm still hoping we get a remastered version of MK9, the one that started all this.
This would make an obscene amount of money, but they’ll never do it. NRS is too busy trying to appease a certain imaginary audience while ignoring their actual one.
That's all they have to do
The one that started the DLCs?
@@mvalentino5650 what imaginary audience, the one that doesn't give a squat about Microtransactions and Competitive balance, and just wants to see people get their heads ripped off?
Because I can assure you, That's not imaginary. I'm that audience. And I'm sure That I'm not alone, Even if it's just like a handful of people.
MK shaolin Monks remaster
If feel like they pulled a EA and took stuff out and reintroduce it later as new and improved
Ex] friendships, mercy, animal brutalities, king of the hill, ermac and quanchi, etc.
@@musclemonkey5823Do you think they’re going to do an overhaul to MK1’s intros/outros? MK 11 was much better in that regard. Every character had 3 intros and outros you could customise, as well as 3 lines of dialogue. I miss that.
@Sparlis probably. They will most likely put in an update and use it as a selling point instead of it being in the game from the start.
Love your vids really make me feel i can do yt !!
My problem with MK1 is that combos and linking special moves feel so weird. I can do trials for every character in SF6 but come into MK1, linking specials in combos feel such an issue, especially online.
There's definitely an issue with combo strings in online mode. It feels like online favors players with slow connections.
People have to speak with their money. That's the only thing companies listen to. They see people buying everything and get greedy, then they start to raise prices until it don't sale anymore.
This vid is sick and yea underdawg we will be nice to amazing youtubers
This was so well said man, shows your maturity and understanding, plus you ended on a positive note🤴🏼King Vibes
Customization and level progression is a big selling point for me. It’s why I loved playing Injustice 2 and MK11 ‘cause the customization in those games is legendary. But MK1 blew it for me.
To put into perspective, at launch every MK11 character had about 4 - 6 unique skins with about 5 - 10 different color variations. Plus 3 gear slots that each include around 30 gear pieces. In total, every character has up to 60 skins with 90 gear piece options, and there was a variety of ways to collect these items. The Towers of Time had a simple, quick, and fun progression that always rewarded you various currency, konsumables, enchantments, concept art, gear pieces, and skins. The Krypt offered the same rewards but in a semi-open environment that made you feel like an explorer.
In MK1 however, every character had about 2 - 4 unique skins with 9 color variations, and only 1 gear slot with a much smaller amount than MK11. Plus, most skins need to be bought using Dragon Krystals, which you can only obtain a finite amount of for free, which I think is the biggest turn-off for most players. Nobody minds the monetization in Fortnite ‘cause it’s Free to Play and needs to make money somehow. But because MK1 is $70+, having to also play for skins and fatalities just sucks and shows the greed seeping from the game, likely a WB decision because in spite of the mistakes NRS has made, I can’t imagine them being *THAT* greedy and were instead forced to by the executives.
Sure there’s Invasions mode and the rotating challenges, but they truly feel like you’re just grinding for the sake of grinding. Can’t wait to play 2 hours to get enough coins to unlock a color-swap of the default outfit! I was excited for Invasions on paper, but in practice it’s a slog to get through. Would much prefer a “Towers of Reality” type deal to get your fix.
One other thing MK11 did better was actually showing you what skins and gear there were in the game, while also telling you how to unlock it. In MK1 you kinda just have to estimate how many skins and gear a character had, while MK11 just shows you in the select screen.
I really wanted to love MK1, and I enjoyed the campaign for the most part (up until the whole “infinite timelines” thing. they should have kept it to just 2 timelines, Liu’s and Shang’s). But man I cannot get myself to play the game like I could with IJ2 and MK11.
I agree, they need to put more effort into the single player modes. They did a better job in the past 3 games
I'm still enjoying the game, but I don't really do the online competition. I think they need to release more characters and hype them up. The time between release of the Kombat Pack characters feels a bit ridiculous. It's 6 months on and they still haven't finished releasing the full first pack.
Very well done. I'm going to add to parts of this:
- It'd be fine enough if this game wanted to flip the unlock priorities from single player to online and multiplayer. However, they didn't really do that, either. I admit I bailed off of 1 for a lot of reasons within a month, but from what I recall, the Online modes were the exact same as 11, if not with far fewer modes, to boot. So you didn't do anything fresh to make me excited to go online.
- I should note that on XSX, I experienced some of the choppiest gameplay for ANY GENRE OF GAME since I got this console 4 years ago. We're talking literally 3-4 FPS, crashes to dashboard, and my connection is perfectly fine for other games. This also came with the audio completely cutting out during matches and it wouldn't come back until the match ended, so the admittedly wonderful audio was...GONE. For long stretches.
- So if I'm having these online issues, I'm going to play solo, but you're not getting anything for basic stuff. Sometimes I like practicing timing, new stuff, fussing about in 1v1 CPU fights. I can boot up MK11 right now, pick up a character I never touched, do a single fight, and make progress to unlocking SOMETHING. Which reminds me...
- MK11 rewarded you HOWEVER you wanted to engage with it. You want to fuck around for 10 minutes and bail? Cool. You want to do king of the hill for half an hour? Cool. You want to play Kombat League for 7 hours? Cool. MK1 feels like they wanted to take away from you.
- You mentioned the Towers stuff from 11. You know what was a common gimmick in those towers? KAMEOS! Which were fun enough for a novelty on occasion, but weren't the main draw. So if you played a lot of MK11, this pivot into making the whole game revolve around kameos isn't new or fresh. It felt like NRS didn't have any ideas as to how to evolve. Compound that with the general sense that individual characters, despite having more special moves and tools than ever before, feel like they've been inherently weakened to force your hand with Kameos (this is something I've heard A LOT with Scorpion, arguably your most popular character...not great, Bob!) and at least I got a sense that I was always playing with a "lesser than" character.
- Related to that, I found it very telling that MaximillianDood, who said for months that he never fully jived with anyone, seemed to immediately love Peacemaker primarily because he felt like the most fleshed-out character who least-needed Kameos to thrive. If the best characters in the game seem to eschew your primary mechanic, you done fucked up.
- Finally: I know MK11 got a lot of flack for being too defensive, but that game understood damage scaling. Rounds could move really quickly. MK1? After you've sat through the same 14-hit kameo combo with no real way to get out of it unless you saved all your meter, is a fucking SLOG to play and to watch on stream. Rounds FEEL like they take eons. The game doesn't have "OOMPH" to it.
I hated how Ermac and Quan Chi are not in the base game while being an important part of the story and even vsing them. Having Shang Tsung behind a pay wall when you literally play as him in the story. A less predatory approach would of been Reiko as the pre order bonus but you can unlock him by finishing the story. Greedy company
Amazing video man your talented when you do your videos your awesome bro
One of the main things I don't like about MK1 is the mastery system. I really wish you can still level the character mastery in a casual and local match, cuz playing invasions as the fastest way to level them gets old pretty fast, and I'm not really into playing ranked matches. In MK 11, you could still gain currency for the krypt by playing local and casual matches, but why not do that here?
For me, because of the kameos, every character felt too much like the same. It's rare the character and not the kameo open you up.
UnderDawg how do you make your thumbnails? Does someone else make it? Do you find it off google? I wanna know the artwork looks so cool
You covered alot it's my 1st time commenting on your video but I look at every one of them in I got to say my good brother keep up the great work because mk1 is a crazy game lol let's just hope for the best in 11days or something like that let's see what the update be like much love in respect my good brother 🫡🫡🫡🫡💯💯💯💯💯🤝🤝🤝🤝💛💛💛✌️✌️✌️✌️
The single player content and the kameos is what killed it for me
The only bad thing about this game is the lack of Customization because the reason I keep playing MK11 and Injustice 2 is because the reward I get from winning any fight I would get something for that character to make him look totally different appearance but in this game they just give you color changes but with same outfit and the only thing changeable is something that you barely see when you are Fighting. That's my only complain in this game and Give dlc characters more outfits!!!
On top of that, all the color palettes are the most ugly things ever conceived. Even the new raiden invasion season, the lightning bolts are cool but wtf is up with their hard on for the color yellow? 3 out of 5 seasons are heavily yellowfied & none of them look good or fitting on anyone except (not the real) Scorpion & maybe Liu Kang.
Great video as usual, I agree MK1 abandoned assets that MK11 really invested in such as towers of time.MK1 just really never got its hooks in me as MK11 did. The story was great would love to see more
Where the fuk are these Cyborgs as mains???
Community pulling a "Friendship" move by showing respect and being civil, unexpected - but glad to hear about it. 💯

Thank you for being objective True Dog. People can be critical of things they love, care goes hand in hand.

I don't like gear pieces. They're useless. Especially if their gear piece is something you don't notice

@@rubensanchez6618 just skill issue
@zengao not a skill issue when since mk1 1999 we been playing as one character, the fact u gotta learn how to use another character while remembering how to play as your main character is stupid
For me, generally not a fan of what they've done to the characters/lore (I know other's will call it a "fresh" take, but, to me, it just feels like fan-fiction in official form), would have preferred a full-blown MK9 tag system rather than what we're getting with the Kameo fighters, absolutely despise the scummy monetization tactics, and... unpopular opinion here... I really, genuinely don't like the cartoony violence and overall art direction in this. Just something about the blood and gore here that feels so off... probably with how bulgy/bubbly it all appears. I wasn't the biggest fan of how all that looked in MK11 and especially the dismemberment effects in MKX, but now I'd gladly go back to those instead.
They fucked up the story in X & its been downhill ever since. Some would say it started in 9 with Sindel killing almost all the heroes but they really could've done something with that.
Hey man I used to watch all your content as soon as it dropped when MK11 was out. I've preordered mk9,10,11 but 1 just felt odd. I liked the story's direction but I'm a huge single-player content buff even though I'll spend hours trying to play ranked. I think MK1 should have don't a Killer Instinct stye solo gameplay mode like Shadow Lords. With the timeline reset it would be a cheap and easy way to sandbox future characters and give us some alt storylines.
I hate the time travel concept man just keep it simple like hanzo being scorp and kuai being sub and the revenants be restored and keep raiden as the protector no more time travel it’s not meant for fighting games😠😤😡
Why couldn’t we get the umk3 Sub Zero skin like Reptile Smoke and Scorpion 😭😭😭
Mk11 single player content was amazing, I was looking forward to that more then anything when mk1 was coming out. Invasions is so bad. I don’t how you go from the amazing content in mk11 to mk1. We all know multiplayer in Mk1 is lacking compared to all the other fighting games. I got bored after the first month and never looked back. It’s a shame cause I pre ordered $120 version
So much of this game feels like it was gonna be injustice 3 you can still see small snippets left behind in things like the intros looking like the clash animations from injustice 2 and how all three guests were super hero themed all the way to how you unlocked cosmetics being the same as the mother box system
What really went wrong was the addition of kameo mode. No one asked for it. No one wanted it, and it breaks all immersion when the best kameo for your character is an enemy of your character. Not to mention every characters move set has to be nerfed so the kameos dont break every character. If I hadnt already opted out of MK12 after I saw how much bullshit there was to unlock with grinding in MK11, I knew Id never even bother playing MK12 after I heard about this garbage kameo system.
Invasions and kameos killed it for me.
I did the first 2 seasons but it was just way too much of a grind. Especially when it first came out giving enemies all that armor.
And as for cameos. Yea it's fun ish but I really prefer the 1v1.
Also the story wasn't as good as expected.
I liked the beginning and the first half of the story mode till the multiverse time travel nonsense started happening .
@@aryelrosa4829 yea I think it would have been better if main bad was actually kronica
L take the story was goated as hell
@@nol75 The first half was good
Bro!!! U made that game add sound freakin spectacular!!
And i dont really play games like that . haha
I just want to say I love your videos. I think you do an amazing job with them to me. I think mortal kombat 1 could have had some new ad on stuff or could have bought some stuff. From MK11 into MK1, I can not let the AI fight. I kind of missed the crypt not being there.
With Fortnite, I can somewhat give them the benefit of the doubt with their microtransactions because it is 'Free To Play' and require no money to purchase.
But with games that cost 70$ like MK1 and (not to be an MK shill) Tekken 8, microtransactions is the worst method of monitization to be added in there.
That ad read was so damn long.
The Kameo system killed it for me. In MK11 you could have them if you wanted, but making them mandatory and making the whole system way more complicated than it has to be (you not only need to know the character but gameplay can radically change based on who you take with you) and replacing the "kustomisation" system which was way more engaging was just asinine.
Kameo is RIDICULOUS. I hate random secondary character coming in randomly. It was pretty lame
A specific certain ESG game company name that you can't bring up that's what happened.
SBI...😂😂😂😂
Bro that was the longest ad
My main problem is how bad the single player is and how much they changed the characters. Scorpion not being hanzo still makes me mad, Raiden and lui kang being swapped is kinda cool as concept but wasn’t great in the story. Having to pay 5 dollars per skin is crazy and the announcer voices are so expensive. The reboot of the story every few games needs to stop. Getting attached to characters is hard when the story will be rebooted in two games.
11:22 this type of reaction and relationship with your audience is very admirable
I'll never forget, the Day I got MK11 I picked Raiden. I did my first match offline and when when I won he came Flying at the Screen with all this Lightning and stuff and it blew me away. It looked so Cool.
I didn't have that experience with MK1. Nothing Wowed Me. The Graphics didn't seem that much better and it didn't take long to realize it was severely lacking in so many ways.
The incredibly Basic UI.
No pinning moves to the screen was a big one for me.
The Towers aren't animated. They were just static looking Towers and when you beat one all you get is your score. It doesn't start at Zero and Zoom up to your score. It's just very anti-climatic.
It's doesn't have the Cool in your Face intro and outro animations of your Character to unlock. With the Kameos added it just shows your Team at the end from far away. It's not very impactful.
I don't play online so the whole game just feels very bare bones. I loved making each Character look just how I wanted them to with all the customization options in MK11. This Game didn't hardly try to implement Customization. I don't care for all the Color swaps. Having a Blue Scorpion just doesn't sit right with me.
Kameo is what turned me away
The second I saw that trailer I knew it was not going to go well, and Netherrealm was out of touch.
- MCU like presentation
- overproduced nostalgia bait completely missing the heart of the original
- Batista
I got a bad feeling from it, and I said that. Was called a hater. Turns out I was right.
What makes the Cameo system even worse, is that it feels like a half-baked version of tag team mode from mk9. Originally, you were going to be able to play as your cameo character in tandem with your choice from the base roster, but they never finished that function and as a result it just feels like a half-baked version of Marvel vs Capcom.
This video should've been longer;
Delusion
TBH I think the problem is there isn’t more multiplayer content
I am 35 years old, I am from Palestine, I played almost every Mortal Kombat game ever released... I rarely watch any content about MK except your channel... Love you dawg
Free Palestine 🇵🇸 and Deception is my all time favorite MK game in the franchise.
To me, there was no need to reboot the series this soon and close to MK11. They should have gave it a while. Release a few more characters and stories for MK11 and then reboot the series about 10 years later.
Bro glazed so hard just to come back around when everyone harped on his ass
I’m lost
You’re right but to be fair it’s where he gets his content from
@@nol75 that doesn't mean you enable a company to be worse.
@@nol75he’s a shill and all he does is weaponize his audience to attack other creators
The towers / krypt combo was amazing you could see your rewards for get for beating 8 ppl. Invasion is 500 single round matches over and over
The true definition of grind
It took so, so long to get through the invasions. I think I dropped off near the end of season 3.
I sadly got bored with MK1 as someone who doesnt play online for fighting games, like you said it here was nothing for single players which is sad because I was super excited
We don’t need 5 versions of every character in every franchise, and all the most beloved MK games never had dlc stuff because characters who had nothing to do MK or even fighting weren’t needed either
What bothered me in MK1 was how a lot of the characters look in terms of their costumes, and the dlc prices are way too high and under deliver. The fact that the classic costumes for Lee may and Nitara are 10 bucks each and they feel the need to censor them was a really downer for me
Invasion Mode is what turned me off. Especially the survive tiles. Hard for this game to remain attractive (to me) when there are gems like Tekken 8, Under Night In-Birth 2 and SF6.
Even tho I don’t like Invasions mode , the main thing that me made step away from the game is the Kameo system .
Good video u know I think if there was like a mode like if u could play u kameos in a 1 on 1 mode that just one thing would b kool n other things but it kinda seems like this game is a online game this time b safe
I feel like they need put towers in the gateway portal into towers tab instead and scrap invasions altogether. I would also like to see a towers stage (optional), more customization, 1v1 fighting, and 2v2 fighting. Lastly, online should be its own tab.
Two v two was a huge mistake
I'd love to have 2v2
They had 2v2 in mortal kombat 9
@@rubensanchez6618 And not in X, 11 or 1
@@rubensanchez6618 but still had 1v1 which is better
Bruh no it isn’t 🙄 kameos really aren’t that bad like y’all claim. They would’ve had to make everyone play significantly different to make the combos flashy and fun. Each character would be very limited and boring if they are left as is, without kameo assists. The bigger problem holding this game back is the lack of single player content/extra game modes
I pre-ordered this unfinished game. First and last time Netherrealm will fool me.
MK11 had some cool customization options as well that I spent HOURS messing around with
I think as well this new update for (online) is frustrating cuz of the the frame rate just not being good it’s making the game miserable online and I legit went and bought sf6 and learning that and it’s hard but fun to learn it’s sooo sad cuz I tried my hardest to stick to mk1 and defend as much as I can but it gets to the point when now online yet again isn’t fun to play cuz a massive issue happening and we get zero communication about these massive issues and I love the gameplay it’s sooooo fun with the combos and what u can do with cameos but man I don’t know if it’s WB or neverrealm at this point but I hope this made sense sorry if it didn’t I am just sad with mk1 when I love everything about the game just the communication and not fixing these issues quick I’ll be fine if they spoke to us about the frame rate issue but they haven’t really said anything apart from one tweet
I preordered the game, played it 2 months ago, and got bored. The Kameos and lack of offline content really put me off. Back to playing MKX & MK11.
MK X had even less "content".
Sub Zero got nerfed
Why they always doing this to him
@@ItsGgg123 ridiculous I still use them 😅
Which one? The playable one or the kameo one?
This game made me went to token 8 for the first time and I can't see myself turning back
So nobody not going say anything how Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, and Ermac was on the story mode day 1 but yet you gotta pay 8.00$ for them. 😂
Everyone doing the same optimal strings it feels boring
So is this the SFV of Mortal Kombat?
That's just mortal Kombat in general since MK11. MK11 was very one dimensional and didn't provide players with many options in terms of combos. So that conditioned people.
Truth be told I feel like the best thing for them would just be to add a conquest style game mode
@Akuma.Gouken while I do agree with you I feel like you’re undervaluing the pull that a konquest mode would offer. You could add more skins characters expand the lore and it adds insane levels of replay value, while there are tweaks that could be made to the combat in the game that is always going to be the case they will never perfect the gameplay as there are too many players wanting too many different things. But you can’t tell me that a konquest mode wouldn’t satisfy everyone in the fan base and along with that it opens the game up to other non fighting game players because there’s more than just the vs mode. This brings more revenue over time because you not only have people who love the game getting it but you have a new target audience and you have after release sales from people buying it after the fact because they heard that the konquest was good.
@Akuma.Gouken also look up how often people go back and play shaolin monks or the konquest for deception and tell me people don’t play for single player modes.
Single player modes are extremely important and it's lacking in that department tremendously
@Akuma.GoukenSpeak for yourself please, most people need another game mode to not get bored after playing hours of online matches, if you are not going to grant them that they are going to get bored even if the gameplay is great
@Akuma.Gouken Mk1 has barelly any content for single player, the gameplay is rated better than mk11 and people left it way faster than previous games
As a long time mk fan since the early 2000s it’s truly sad to see the game where it is now but maybe I’m just getting old
