Embarrassing to be an MK fan? No. Embarrassed to be an MK player? Yeah...
Why tho?
@@JDFlyyidr like mk doesn’t make 3 times the money of every other fighting game look at how mk11 sold 🤣
@@jamesverhoeven8769 well it is the biggest casual fighter game, I just hate how other communities look down on mk and say it’s trash and too easy yet pro mk players do absolutely well in those other fighting games, mk players literally get no respect 😂😂
@@jamesverhoeven8769that’s because of the iconic characters a
and flashy fatalities. They also have a longevity problem lasting 4 or 4 years while SF and Tekken lasts much longer.
Dunce.
MK1 is like if you went to your favorite burger place and found out their patty is 10 times more delicious than it used to be, but now they serve frozen fries and the seating inexplicably gives your ass splinters.
This is a good analogy.
Basically one big step forward followed by two steps back, neutralizing the progress.
It isn't just a direct followup to MK11, it FEELS like MK11 DLC.
Not even the patty is better...
Damn 😂😂😂
As an mk1 player, this is sooooo accurate. My ass is full of splinters
@@hands-ongaming7180 puts some pants on
I think the biggest problem at this point is not even the bugs and the missing features, but the silence. No one at NRS has had the balls to come out and say something like "Sorry, we fucked up there a little, our bad. Please give us some time and we'll fix it". That's all the players need, really. They have a lot of loyalty, there's a lot of things they will be willing to overlook if the company just shows them that it cares.
While here in tekken we have Harada speakig with the community regularly and even dealing with the ones that complains too much or demanded things
Of course they wont come in and say sorry. Weclome to capitalism where once you start giving people money guaranteed for their product, they will not bother to adjust the quality or gain any new genuine passion for the development of the game.
They did say they are listening to the community and are going to try and make it the best game they can for us. They fixed the player one advantage bug, they made the movement better since beta, and some strings faster. Im confident that it will get better with age like wine. I love the game but I do agree that something needs done sooner then later
meanwhile ed boon on twitter posting another stupid super youtube video
That's because Noone at wb and nrs gives a damn they got your money.
That first statement hits so hard :(
All of my friends play other FGs and im the laughing stock of the group just because i like MK.
Everytime we’re about to be taken seriously, dumb game breaking shit happens like this and completely screws the fanbase/players over.
And of course you can say:
“oh they’ll fix it”
But it should’ve been fixed BEFORE RELEASE!!!!! NOT AFTER!!!!
They’re just bandwagon haters. Most of the people I see hating on MK are mediocre at whatever fighting game they play too.
If you’re the laughingstock over having a preference, are they really your friends?
@@Maztuhmindyes, because they have actually helped me through some troubles in life and vice versa. But we just have different preferences when it comes to fighting games.
One likes tekken
One likes SF
Two like anime fighters
I like MK.
@@PR1ME98I mean Street Fighter has been mid as hell for years and atleast to me MK1 is leagues more fun than SF6. I'm a Tekken fan myself and Tekken is the only perfect fighter to me but MK is far from a joke.
@@Maztuhmind Yeah besides only cool people play MK. I always seen MK being the type of video game that actually appealed to alphas or sigmas that get bishes. I even had pretty females admit MK is like the only fighting game or one of the only games they like because they always see their bf or some other chad type play it. MK is actually one of the only video games that wouldn't label you a nerd. If you play MK, GTA, RE or MGS, you would actually get a pass from the females and they would still do you. If they see you play anything other than MK or SF as far as fighting games go, they get super dry.
Oh my god I had a feeling something was fucked up about blocking when going from crouching to standing. There's like a weird delay in it if you wake up crouching and then release crouch to block an overhead, and I was just getting hit by slow overheads I knew I reacted to. Thank you for finally being the first person I've seen to mention it.
I thought that I was the only one noticing this haha
Yeah I was getting hit by Baraka’s forward 3 even though I’d react to it in time
@@sanchez_1999 Raiden and Johnny Cage are also big offenders in this
@@jntlemanthis, as a cage main I played mirrors online and got 212 to death even though I was crouching to block the low option then rising to block the high in time. Game is fun af but they have alot of tweaking to do
And if you try to release the stick to stand up to go into jump, you'll get delayed into upblock which makes it extremely annoying when you are playing Nitara who really relies on her jumping and air dashes.
Wow, those are some bewildering oversights. As a Street Fighter fan, hope the game gets fixed soon. Mortal Kombat is awesome.
Used to be awesome.
Crazy how I am a bigger SF fan these days than an MK fan when growing up it was the exact opposite. SF6 unironically does a better job at paying homage to MK's 3D era than MK1 does.
@@Impalingthorn is still awesome*
@dizzyuniqueThe issue is present on the PS5 too.
I hate the direction MK is going. glad I skipped MK1. I hate most of the character designs
@@Impalingthorn I grew up with SF2 and the alpha series & could never get the hang of MK’s combo system and weird button layouts and didn’t like every fighter having the same punch and kicks with specials being the only difference. Now I can’t stand SF, it just gives me seizures with all those huge hit sparks and weird ink blotch effects. I can barely see what is going on underneath it all with the actual fighters. The physics feel weird to me to with how characters will land a punch or a kick and there is a slight “freeze” between every hit. I’ve really been getting into MK lately and it’s movesets are friendlier than in the past and the gameplay more fluid to me. Boone has really stepped it up the past few years while 6 still feels like a derivative of SF4’s gameplay.
Unapologetic MK fan since it's inception. But I stopped appreciating them trying to re-invent the wheel every entry. I think thats large cause for the growing pains and system/mechanics issues. I'd appreciate a Legacy system to build on at this point.
THIS...i always felt like they should have just really focused on the issues 9 had and kept improving it for future games but every game being entirely different, as well as the stupid emotional roller coaster regarding whether or not your favorite fighters are going to be in the roster every time a new game is being released is starting to get exhausting
@@tylerlopez1443 street fighter seems to do it fine. Its just that greed is more focused in mk so they just rush out any type of rubbish
@@tylerlopez1443word
@@fayelisI agree
This. I liked that MK1-3 and the 3D era all had consistent gameplay even if it was tweaked.
When MK9 came out I thought they were going to stick with THAT tone and gameplay. MKX was fun, don't get me wrong, but you really started to feel them lean too hard into the Hollywood crap and cameo characters in that game. If I had to compare it to anything, MK9 was the Resident Evil 4 of the franchise, MKX was RE5 meaning still fun but cracks with the philosophy were beginning to show and MK11 was the RE6 where it just completely sh** the bed. As for MK1... I don't feel it's fair to compare it to RE7, I would personally compare it to RE Village in that it makes good efforts but still makes a TON of missteps to the point where it hampers the whole project.
I don't hate it as much as MK11, but I don't like it either. It just doesn't feel like Mortal Kombat despite all of the references to prior games because that's all they are, references. They didn't go back to the 3D style or returned to the timeless stylized graphics of MK9 that focused more on presentation than realism. They didn't truly return to the combat of MK9 either and the Kameo system feels a little shoehorned in while teasing us with characters I'd much rather have been in the main roster.
And that is perhaps the most aggravating thing, because you can SEE with Scorpion, Kung Lao, Stryker and Darius that their designs are on point and they could totally make a more traditional MK game... but that's the problem, they don't WANT to. It's not a lack of capability, it's focusing on the wrong goals.
Which is why characters like Darius upset me because we ALREADY know what the first year of DLC is going to be. I'd much rather have had a MVC style assist system where every character is a selectable assist and they just made the unique characters into their own fighters but instead we got this lukewarm crap.
I'm not embarrassed that I like a game...
It's just a game..
Exactly, it’s ok to like a video game regardless of what it is, it’s a video game after all
Player 1 only combos.
Wow, just wow.
Bro I thought I was tweaking with Geras in that one. Like I thought “dam maybe I’m wack” cuz no matter what on the p2 side the same combo and timing! Wouldn’t come out. It was so annoying I got pissed off lol. Like everything was the same no thinking muscle memory n it wouldn’t connect
Wait. How is this possible? I don’t own it so just curious.
@@SuperBabyMario0Cwhich combo is it I’m curious as a geras player
@@yussufkhalil5618 it was just me not being able to convert off F 2, 4, sandstorm special then F 2, 4 again for some reason this was way more difficult to do in player 2 side dispite it being muscle memory and the same in player 1. Made adjustments tho n hit now so idk. But it was the only time I thought it was the game n not me ya know? Like it’s not like I was struggling to do it in p1. It was weird. It hits not so I don’t know
Completely unacceptable and crippling.
I'm 25. I grew up with and grew up playing mortal kombat. Deadly alliance. Deception. Armageddon. Heck I was 13 when MK 9 came out. I love mortal kombat, the game play, the setting, story and most importantly the characters. All of which are more iconic in America than any other fighting game characters. My 80 grandma knows who Scorpion is. I have no qualms with saying I love mortal kombat.
If its a game that takes actual skill to be good at I’ll never be embarrassed for playing it
What about Fortnite
@@JohnSmith-hf8zntouché
@@JohnSmith-hf8znfortnite is fun now tho, it’s really awesome to play a game and see all these popular icons from pop culture in a game you enjoy. I’ll tell ya I think it’s awesome seeing a team of Spider-Man, goku, and kratos team up 🤣🤣🤣
@@-galaxy-5076No, Fortnite is cringe.
@@Euro.Patriot Elaborate on what makes it cringe?
No, its tough being a Dead or Alive Fan. You mortal kombat guys are eating just fine XD
Try being a VF fan. Even though it's a series acclaimed for its depth and complexity, it was a franchise that remained dormant until 2021, and all we got was a remake of VF5.
I miss doa 2 and doa 4, hell i even played the nintendo game
Lol not lying.
@@jonathandoe2316 its even more tough being a virtua fighter fan soooo
@@matthewlugo2417 Virtual who yeah I could imagine. I'll always love MK though.
Ngl, I'm kinda sick of AAA titles launching in an advanced beta state
Player 2 can't choose cosmetics for characters, you've always stick with original costume, although the gear and color pallet are changed in menu. Player 2 can't also choose an arena. Yeah and impossibility to pin combos wtf. My friend and I have been playing this game series since mk 9. Huge disappointment. Refunded.
I remember that day when I went to a big local fighting game tournament, everybody fighting and arguing about what they believe, someone asked me what game I’m into, “I like mortal kombat” came out of my lips, everybody froze and looked at me in disbelief.
then in the middle of the silence I hear “yo did he say mortal kombat?!” And the whole room exploded in laughter, everybody pointing their finger at me laughing uncontrollably, I have never felt so ashamed in my life since I pissed myself in the classroom when my teacher told me “ do it here” back when I was 9. I bought mk1 digitally because I don’t dare show my face at the retail stores to buy it physically. The only times I speak about mk is with the mk community and even then my face still turns red because sometimes I remember about that horrible day…
Funniest shit I've read all day
I don't laugh often.... but holy shit 😂😂😂
Bro what fake trauma fanfic is this lol wtf
This man eating beans!
"digitally"
Glad to see the cameo issue wasn’t just me. Thought I was messing something up when trying to call them during an input so I would have better recovery for a follow up
This is the stuff that should be hammered out during those pre-release open betas. Like, shit, guys. And yeah, especially after how polished the overall SF6 product was on release, this just isn't acceptable.
i was trying to articulate everything you said in this video to a friend the other day….i’ll just show them this video
I appreciate the direction they went with post 9 but I wish they stuck with the stylized over the top campiness that 9 and prior had.
not campy? have you played it?
@@Xfacta12482exactly 😂
Bruh if there's one thing that hasn't changed with MK, it's the campiness
It's still campy and over the top though lol like have you seen some of the fatalities? You can't get more over the top than that or maybe people just think the fatalities are realistic and if so that's actually concerning
He's referring to the near photo realistic gore that started with MKX
Finally. I knew something was up. This game just feels rushed out the door. And I was soooo excited
You shouldn't have high expectations for nrs def the worst fighting game of them all but we all still love mk for the gore fun creative combos and sick characters but it is messed up paying $100+ for a game that's broken on so many levels 😂
@@live_fit1999 yeah your crazy. NRS is a consistently good developer. A few missteps sure but still amazing overall

I won't purchase any game for 100$
that's a fcking joke and inexcusable. @@live_fit1999
MK has been apart of my life since I was 5 years old playing MK2 on an arcade machine at a local pizza place my family always went to. When I got a ps1 which was my first console, MK Trilogy was my first game.
I suffered through MK4 and the 3D era and I fell back into mad love with the game when 9 came out. I loved X and 11 even more and MK1 is everything I expected and I know it’s only going to get better with time.
Am I a fan boy? Yes. Do I care? No. Am I embarrassed to love MK? HELL NO.
If you started MK with 5 years your brain is probably demaged
MK at 5? Wow! 🤣
3D era was amazing. Boon brought MK back to life. Your crazy !
@@MalugakoTalk about brain damage you can’t even spell damaged.
This is so weird. I don’t follow fighting game circles but in normie society Mortal Kombat is very well regarded and fondly remembered, especially for zoomers who grew up playing MK9
Mortal Kombat is pop culture. But, asked any real fighting games fans, MK is on the lower tier side in terms of technicality and well thought out. SF, Tekken, Guilty Gear, etc are way above of MK in that regards.
@@blues05but, do they have fatalities? Didn’t think so, XD
@@user-uv6qu3wb5dno one does the fatalities in the tournaments
@@user-uv6qu3wb5d A fighting game doesn't need fatalities to be good, you casual.
Many of these issues were conscious decisions.
The decision being to rush the game.
My theory is that the reason NRS hasn't really addressed some of these issues is possibly because critics keep praising them instead of criticizing them for there faults so NRS doesn't feel a need to improve & that also includes the story telling especially for MK-11 which was praised by game journalists as one of the best when that game was released instead of being what it should of been...Dunked on. I honestly have no clue what's going on with the higherups at WB/NRS what with them often apparently ignoring fans questions on a daily basis instead of just giving a straight answer to them .
Glad to hear more people speaking out about MK1’s problems, was so excited for this game & now I’m hugely disappointed.
There are barely any bugs if play it on expensive PCs or PS5.
Why? The game is amazing people are too negative all the time
@@guillaumeinjjuz1744 True, it may be flawed, but c'mon, it's not like your can't enjoy it.
That’s cap, I’ve got a 4500$ pc and can confirm these bugs are very much there still @user-vt4ht7jj21
@@guillaumeinjjuz1744so you’re okay with paying 100$ for a game that’s sold as a finished product to be riddled with game breaking bugs in reality? We all like the game but come on, both things can be true. We can like it and still be hugely disappointed that they’d choose to release this game in such a rushed and buggy mess.
The main thing is to make quick money, advertise heavily and bring an unfinished game without balance onto the market! I am very disappointed as a pre-orderer.
Dont forget how we still cant be on practice mode while waiting for online matches. We just stare at a wallpaper. Smh...
Dont forget to mention the bug that just keeps you in place when you try to do a Fatality in KL, leading to a never-ending standoff between you and your opponent and not ending the match.
I joked about how nrs never play test their games but with the new 1 player bug they actually didnt
I feel like I'm the only one that recognized this house of cards was going to fall before it did and got out while I was ahead. Mind you, this is coming from a guy who won two tournaments (local) in the MK9 days. I started to fall off during MKX, because after a while, the game just lost its fun factor for me. MK11 was a nightmare in my opinion and I just knew that MK was on the fast track to nowhere. It hurts me too, man.
NRS are like architects who dont build a bridge the traditional way because "they dont want to be like everyone else". So they build a shitty non conventional bridge that collapses in 3 weeks. They absolutely should not make the next Mortal Kombat game.
I think it's weird to frame it as it being embarrassing to be an an MK player because of what other FG communities think. It's just embarrassing on a base game level coming out buggy with less features than past releases.
For real, it's 100x more embarrassing to say you are a part of the fighting game community.
@@happycat4838 If you play a game a lot you are a part of the game's community. He plays MK a lot so hes apart of the community thats not cringe thats just fact. The dude above is saying you shouldnt care what other communities think but rather be disappointed about how bad the game itself is.
Since this video is likely to go viral, I wish you had included how poorly done the invasion mode is.
This and why does the animation take so long when you spend coins at that dragon.... and why can't I spend more than a 1000 coins per time...
There is a reason I generally don't buy games on release anymore. But I get that as a youtuber you need to make content fast while the game is still relevant.
You actually kind benefit a lot from getting into any fighting game early, the online scene is a better learning environment early on. This kind of bullshit will ensure a short life for the game, as NRS games often have.
Competitive fighting game players don’t have that option, sadly.
Sad to say but if the devs aren't going to deliver for you it's time to accept that this series is for casual fun. MK is fun and there's enough there to express player skill but there's nothing stopping someone from playing both it and Street Fighter. MK9 was my introduction to competitive fighting games but I long ago accepted reality and switched to SF.
We need Intro dialogues option on/of, loadouts selection,tag moves,mute players online, gateway mesa rewards gear/palettes/skins and audio/sub language change in game!
They spent more time in development for this than any of their other games yet it's the buggiest one. I'm sure they'll fix it and when they do they need to reset everybody's online stats because the player 1 advantage thing really busted.
Maybe it could be that they focused more on the flashier parts they kept showing online rather than everything else.
I don’t think I’ll buy the game cause it doesn’t appeal to me and it seems rushed (especially story mode.)
It's because im sure injustice was in the works then do to contracts or copy right ownership or some shit like that they scrapt it.
Im kinda glad I didn't spend $70-$109 on a half baked not even finished game. I'll grab this game when It goes on sale in the next couple months
agree. the game's so pricey😭
I wish I'd cut my losses when Oceania was ignored for the stress test, and then the beta had no offline versus mode so I could play in the same room with a friend. I'm disappointed by the scaled back gear and palette system. I don't have time for the grind or skill to pull off some of the requirements for things. I'm not finding MK1 fun at all in the few hours I've been able to play it. I think my MK days are done.
This kind of “Play a REAL fighting game!” Mentality is a big contributor to why the fighting genre hasn’t managed to reach the same heights as its contemporaries. It’s already a hard genre to get into as a new player, and infighting and gatekeeping on such a volatile level only makes it worse
I think you're being silly. Every major genre and the biggest games are even more toxic then any fighting game community. Just look at most MOBAs and FPSs
My theory is a lot of the bugs happened because they finally updated the engine from a heavily modified Unreal 3 to (presumably) Unreal 5, probably causing the loss of a lot of custom code that was put there to solve the issues the last few games had, so suddenly we get weird player side issues and whatnot. Here's hoping they fix things cause game is fun.
Personally my biggest issue are the black screens in ranked matches. Last few sets I was put on the P2 side and each time had a black screen for some time and then the game would just show me the last few seconds of Kitana's intro and then things would go fine after that. I'd say the P2 combo issue and online match black screen are the two biggest issues right now.
Aside that... I do quite love the game. Invasions fights are fun (and the modifiers in the matches seem way less annoying than the ones in Towers of Time, for example most homing projectiles are now properly blockable) , online matches (when they work) are great and I feel like Kitana is not as bad as she was in the last game and I have a bunch of other characters to try out (Mileena, Ashrah, Li Mei, Tanya, Nitara, Sindel... and Baraka??? First time I like Baraka, heh) and the fact I don't care to play any of the KP1 characters saved me a loooot of money on launch. Also, so far game's handing out skins/palettes like candy on halloween (either directly or through seasonal kredits, I already bought all the skins for 3 characters).
I'm bracing for the moment where I'll have to fork out some big money to get MK2/MK3 skins for Kitana etc. but I'll deal with it when that time comes.
So here's hoping they can fix the bugs cause they do kinda hold back a bit an otherwise awesome game.
The 7 dollar day 1 character DLCs in a 70 dollar game aren't helping either.
Well you cant rely on a guest character to revive the game no matter who it is
Been playing MK since day one. Best fighting game of all time. Any era, any console, any level. True fan here and I love the MK series unconditionally.
0:14 news to me...times like this make me glad to be such a recluse with a circle of friends and just enjoying stuff outside of making my own.
not to mention sound bugs on stages, tournament mode not having kamoes unlocked and local p2 getting no unlockables like gear and brutality's
I wanted to play this game and still do. But my faith in big studio games has been severely diminished and I held off on this one to wait and see what the community was saying. And sure enough the honeymoon is over, the shine from good reviews is gone and what’s left is the truth that is so common now. The game is released too soon, with too little, for the players to beta test as usual, and oh yeah for a higher cost than ever and still asking for more money from players. By the time a sale comes around I hope it’s in better shape. You woulda thought that with the all the hype around sf6 and how much better it came out than the launch of 5, that Netherrealm would step up. Maybe they spend too much time on the story mode and the invasions and not enough on the rest
It bothered me alot that I couldn't pin the move list on the screen!
I’m having a bug on ps5 where the gear I highlight isn’t the same thing that’s shown on the character. Also I’ve been doing invasions to level up and doing many matches I noticed low attack doesn’t connect sometimes no matter how close I am to the opponent.
Putting all sources easily visible on screen, if only all youtubers were that professional. Great video too
You know what's embarrassing? how much they are charging for the game.

I was so excited for this game. Watched your entire video on it. Bought it day 1 and it was unplayable, stuttering multiple times a second and physically hurt my eyes to play. Refunded it immediately and said id buy it again after a few weeks. From what ive seen, I dodged a bullet.
Did you buy on pc? Cus ive put 40+ hours in on ps5 and its played well for the most part
No issues on Xbox except the black screen of death after online matches. In terms of polished game mechanics, this MK is better than the last. This is no fallout 76, cyberpunk, battlefield 2042, what game breaking issues did you have?💀
I because a MK player recently in preparation for this game. Now I am starting to dought my decision
It's definitely annoying to not be able to pin moves to the screen.
Player-side specific combos? I didn't know MK1 took notes from X-Men: Children of the Atom!
I’ve literally had no problems with the game. Reminds me so much of MK9,and that’s a step in the right direction. Also MK11 was frustrating,but not that bad.
Bro this dude complains about everything I used to like his doom videos but I unsubscribed he is full of hilariously bad takes take what he says with a grain of salt
5:05 I knew I wasn’t crazy. I thought I lost my touch on combos lol.
I forgot what I did to fix the stuttering u were talking about towards the end. I'm pretty sure it was whatever the benchmarking tool fucked up for me (probably turning off ambient occlusion or v-sync).
Fan since 1993. MK1 is the first game I wasn't excited about, bar the dark ages of the 6th generation which was MK at its absolute lowest. In MK1 I am seeing gestures trying to cater to that fanbase with characters like Nitara, Havik, Ashrah and many more. Big NO for me...
Don't like the artstyle, the more serious tone, character designs, having all comicbooks pop culture characters as DLC, fighting still feels stiff AF, the new Kameo mechanic and most of all how much do you have to grind for stuff to get unlocked.
I think they struck a nice balance with MKX, where they introduced GaaS mechanics but not too overwhelming. In retrospective, Injustice 2 changed MK for the worse
You must have missed those boring special forces characters like Sonya and Jax lol
Thank you I’ve played the series since mk9 and by far this game is the worst at the moment, but everybody just seemed to be meat riding NRS which made me question if they’ll ever fix these bugs and gameplay
I've been playing the game since it came out and I haven't been able to get into a single match online. It just searches forever
Man, watching all of them makes me glad I only play games offline.
Not bring able to pin moves was insane trying to teach my girlfriend but she's new to fighting games and can't remember every single input from peaking at the menu
To this day o still am more interested in MK than any other fighting game.
actually, i started liking mk this time. da was my first mk game. i was a huge fan of tekken. but now, tekken is like kof 2.0 which is bad. i don't care what people say, mk1 is still good fighting game sf6 is great tho. don't care about tekken
I came into the fighting game scene with MKX and played it, Injustice 2, and 11 heavily and exclusively before deciding I'd had enough and moved on to SF5 and 6 more recently.
I'd like to see NRS' fighting game design chops improve eventually so that their games become more than MK universe homages with pasted on fighting game mechanics but after 4 games like this I'm not holding my breath.
im still convinced mk 1 regardless of how pretty it looks is a half-finished game with the whole kameo concept coming from that stretch on youtube around COVID when every mk content creator and their mother was doing 700-1000 damage kombos using the tower tag feature. feel like the devs just saw that and made a whole “new system” of fighting. That being said i really miss the real tag mode from mk9 it was really fun playing mortal kombat with a group of friends
Tweedy had a video a few months back where he believed NR had started development on Injustice but were forced to make it a MK game. I think this opinion was probably pretty close to the truth.
Seems like the game was rushed out and everything feels off as a result.
I feel like its a good thing that MK1 released in the state it did because it made me realise that despite all the problems I had with the game balance, combat design and weird glitches in SF6 and Guilty Gear Strive, they still didn't release with Player 1 Advantage. Makes you appreciate the time and testing developers for those games did in order to make their games good.
Its been 2 hours and I got this video recommended to me! GG buddy videos great. Tbh I never knew mk was looked down apon
Went from counting days till release to now it’s collecting dust in my shelf and I’m counting down till Tekken 8 release. Thankful for Lords of the Fallen in the meantime
Small indie company, it's their first fighting game (even has "1" in the name!), please understand!
It has issues but I'm having an insane amount of fun with MK1. Cant put the game down.
And this... ☝.. Its *comments like THIS* is why sony keeps raising its membership prices. They think we're morons.
@@ragnarok9658Sony raises prices because I enjoy playing MK1 on xbox......makes sense.
@@ragnarok9658 Wow... you must be a REAL winner in life....
@@ragnarok9658 MK1 is on xbox and pc too bro, don't forget about that.
@@ragnarok9658wtf sony why? Are you drunk?
i love how i was literally pondering over this today for the first time
and mayo you dropped this banger
thats why i love you (and also the hate towards god of war)
damn....a good mayo take respect. As a sub main this is the saddest state we've been in
As an MK fan, this game is not it. Wanted it to be good but along with the bugs the kameo system is just not it for me. Along with that i still cant get over them requiring a preorder to access a character you play as in the DAMN game. Its literally insanity! Im sorry couldnt take it anymore im having more fun playing SF6 so back to that i go
I've never been embarrassed to be a Mortal Kombat fan or player. I've played it most of my life. Don't care what any one else thinks about that. This new Game definitely has it's issues. Not being able to pin my moves is a really big one for me. There are several things that are more irritating than fun "constantly discarding talismans for one" I never play on line so those issues don't effect me but ya I've been pretty disappointed in it so far. The fighting is good but that's about it at the moment.
Aside from me personally not liking kameo I prefer the gameplay to mk11. Although ask me and I'll tell you the best one was mkx.
@@duggyfresh8899 agreed. I'll still play mkx from time to time.
sorry but what was that 60 GB update i got yesterday about?
great episode man
As someone who's new to MK and is trying to learn this competitively it actually makes me not want to bother learning it because I can't even tell what's a bug or glitch when I'm practicing. It really sucks. Then there's the player 1 advantage issue that got found but thankfully is getting fixed soon. But the fact it took the community a week to find this and then tell NRS is crazy. The fact they had the nerve to release this unfinished and for more money after SF6 came out and raised the bar for fighters is some embarrassing shit
As someone who plays a shit ton of fighting games competitively this mk is honestly the first one since mkX worth learning with a tone of great mechanics that make it unique and competitive. Player 1 advantage has been fixed recently i heard and even when it was a thing people blew it out of the water. I deadass never noticed it even after i found out and the combos that were affected we complex and gimmicky. Despite what complaints people have its not like other fighting games are better off. It sucks but games as a whole have been releasing overpriced and buggy with more to buy day one.
don't listen to the whiners. yes, game's got some bugs. it will be ironed out. otherwise the game's really good, one of the best fighting games I've played in my life.
@@jeanlucstitt9950 I';m glad they fixed it. I'm actually having a ton of fun with MK1 right now. I bought MK11 on sale for $5 a while back and absolutely hated how it played and stopped after a few hours. But this one I could stick with for a very long time
@@Taunt61 yeah don't listen to the people with legitimate complaints lol. Yall are what's killing the video game industry.
I got this game early completely finished all modes and I was just left with online and honestly after day 3 I started wanting my money back because of how trash the game is, the characters are very unbalanced and the game is very unfun to play with. The combos were nice but then they got old because there’s no variety and the whole game was a scam and I was glad that playing wise it was good at the start but got old quick it better than mk11 but was still the same game, if that makes any sense, and I feel that it can’t be saved especially when tekken releases and multiversus because SF6 def beat them by a land slide, and the game hasn’t had a good story since Armageddon with mk9 as an exception. Netherealm AND WB IS WHAT RUINED MK till this day it is the truth. The story was rewritten with only baraka and reptile being the best thing to come out and it was also rushed obviously to try and compete with SF6, Scorpion was rewritten as Kuai Liang, which made no sense and had no point, they gave him hanzos life and made them brothers to still end up splitting. Another thing that makes no sense is the 2 brothers were both born cryomancers, this is factual, but in this new timeline it was just blatantly rewritten, when they could’ve made hanzo and smoke both adopted brothers into Bi Hans clans with him being their old bro or mentor. All in all I want my money back and I’m kind of pissed that I let the hype get to me because foresaw the game being trash but it was worse than I expected honestly.
Dude even though this game released in a horrid state, I absolutely love this game. It's a throw back to mk 9 and it's been my favorite since then. I just really hope they fix it before it dies.
Also, you brought up players two can't do the same moves as a player one can. I thought it was just me because when i play with Sindel i can't do her full air combo on the right side going left for the death of me which is the player two side. Wildddd
The p1 advantage was fixed and the unblockables are disgusting but it shows skill expression imo. Not everyone’s playing the same character/kameo (besides cyrax💀) so it’s nice to see the tech that’s found with different kameos/characters
Unblockables are the opposite of expression, do you even know what that means?
How is an unblockable skill expression? Jesus Christ
I think he means that you need "skill" to do the combo. Thankfully now a days they are few and far between, unlike mk vs dc lmao
@@Jarochito- But something being unblockable has nothing to do with being hard (having """skill expression""").
Expression in fighting games means actually having different options with different benefits that each player can opt to take, because it suits their playstyle better. If those options have different degrees of difficulty, great, then you have also this """skill expression""" (dumb term), having an unblockable just means that's the thing everyone should be trying to do.
@@dLzzzgaming that's what I said. "Skill' lol
Been a fan of MK, Street Fighter and Tekken for decades, MK1 is awful for a variety of reasons, definitely won't be pre ordering the next NRS game as they have completely lost my trust.
"Is it embarrassing to be a [insert game name] player?" is the question that you can always get a "yes" for, for different reasons.
I can feel this when playing, mk1 is almost there. I hope it gets fixed.
MK1 has an awesome story but for me Tekken is the place to be for online fighting. MK1 is just too focused on those super fast comboes that you barely can break out of. Its all about who lands that long combo juggle back and forth with minimal options to get out of it. In Tekken you can also get juggled but you can easily get out of it + normal attacks do a lot of damage. Also since animations are way slower you can actually react to movements like a proper martial arts fight, but in MK1 animations are almost instant living you with zero chance of reacting.
The only negative reaction I've ever had to saying that I play MK games was something like: "You like violence that extreme?"
At least they heard me out when I explained that the violence is not why I play MK but yeah, there is some weird perception about MK and it's players.
It's more about terminally online SF/Tekken players who hate MK just for the sake of it. They usually spend more time on reddit than playing their sUpEriOr game anyway.
@@Shibu_PLit doesn’t exist in real life,I know guys who were competitive in games like Guilty Gear XRD and MVC3 that like MK also.
I tried to get a steam refund, but of course it was refused because I was over the 2 hour limit for refunds. (4.5 hours)
Unfortunately for me, that's how long it took before blatant issues starting popping up.
So far i have 20 defeat in online, 16 of wich are because it disconnects me randomly after waiting in a loading screen for 5 minutes. I just cant play the online
The gameplay is so much fun and such a huge improvement in mechanics from mk11 which was awful.
But everything else around the game is so mediocre like you said. I've been spoiled by SF6 online modes. Not only does it have a superior training mode. You can matchmake while in training mode which needs to be a standard in fighting games at this point.
Also having separate ranks for characters was such a great idea. This MK feels so lacking in QOL features. No crossplay at launch too.
Imagine if MK1 kept the same issues as MK11, it would have been utterly destroyed by SF6
@@jasonsmith530man if this was MK1 features with MK11 gameplay, I would've dropped it on day 1 XD
MK1>SF6
@@intellectic9155 lol, lmao even
My god... These problems look like the doom eternal no blood punch bug turned up to 99999999
Fix these NRS!!!!!!!
I knew I wasn’t the only one talking about punishes being stupid when I crouch block. Yeah they gotta fix that. I agree. Regardless, I’m sure they’ll fix it soon they already buffed movement speed like the community wanted. I’m sure it’ll smooth out.
Like when they do a not safe on block move yet they do a poke so you can’t attack back?
Had it not been because of the competitive online match then i do not know who is going to buy this game
Its obvious they rushed this one big time just seems like nrs doesn't know where they want to take mk.
I feel like WB forced them to release it this year. It clearly needed another 6 months at least. If not more.
@@Rizzo91 yeah seemed forced in alot of areas. seems like to me anyway they wanted to capitalise on the hype of certain guest characters.
@@Rizzo91 6 months? They just gotta fix online, hitboxes and player 1 advantage, thats it
I just like the Mortal Kombat stories lore and character I aint into that actually playing it part
You like stories of mk? I actually played mk11’s and mk12’s story modes and it was elementary at best written like a trash reboot after another worse trash reboot? It’s getting repetitive and i thought that multiverse concept outdated and died few years ago and then mk’s team using it today was clear indication that they ran out of ideas already. As i saw last 2 mk’s stories, it was entirely bad written for me. Characters power levels were so inconsistent.
@@amornoro2076 You trynna tell me Shang Tsung is not one of the best villains of all time?
if your screen is above 60fps trying lowering it to try and fix the stuttering but it is a disappointed tbh and I understand
Frame data is never correct on MK and pinning move list IS VERRY annoying. Have to keep pausing. I’m playing MK but ultimately waiting on Tekken.
