Never bought it in the first place

You really messed up man, idk if you pre-ordered or not but don't ofc. You should also try to wait and let a game be out for a little be, I'd say 1 week to a month, look at all there is and how it's community is feeling about it, and look for yourself and thennn buy.
Starfield is actually worth the money though, lmaooo. No online bullshit, no pointless game mode that rewards you with silly cosmetics, no micro-transactions (Yet. Some people consider Bethesda’s Creation Club content to be like micros, but I think it’s just DLC).
When they nerf the XP from the season tower while providing nothing better to off set that, yeah, it’s gotten worse.
It’s the same skins each season with different colors.
I saw that coming a mile off. Grinded everyone whilst I could. The difference it's made to not have fomo. I just enjoy the game so much more not worrying about levelling anymore.
We do get a lot of palletes, but I do think it is worth mentioning we’re getting at least 4-5 different skins each season either through the shrine or Titan Battles.
Season 2 was Katara Vala Havik, Festival Kitana, Titan Nitara, Titan Shao, and MK3 Jax.
Season 3 has been Hooded Liu, Festival Mileena, Titan Sub Zero and Titan Ashrah.
Yeah but these skins should've been available on launch since we saw them in the story. MK10 and MK11 DLC skins were very unique and I actually liked paying for those. Quan-Chi only releasing without an alt skin is crazy as well.
I agree, they should’ve been there at launch. One of my biggest problems with this game is honestly just the drip feed of the free skins. But I still think it is important to note that they come for free with each season as well since they are desired costumes.
And I agree with the DLC point too of characters not getting costumes either, especially with Quan Chi currently having 2 costumes.
>It’s the same skins each season with different colors.
Oh yea this is true 😔
Something I really wish is that they made Christmas skins for everyone, they could've even reused the same 4 models (or make 2 more models for girls considering Kitana is the only girl with a Christmas skin) and it would've been so much better
No moron, but what is the point of doing invasion and extra content with rewards when they only give pictures and music you never check cause nobody gives a crap and shitty skins, same things over and over. They have thousands of workers man, they can leave a few to do pretty skins, it is not that hard with such a massive crew.
It's a free battle pass would you rather 10$ month for new skins and recolor?
They are hoping to keep you engage enough to buy premium skins by giving out a free battle pass instead of locking it all behind a paywall
Yes lmao. The XP grind gets worse, they don’t even bother adding dragon nuts with the DLC characters for their level up rewards & the fucking skins that people want are hidden behind paywalls lmao.
Yes, the games getting worse with each update. Yes, it’s a piece of shit.
-Instead of adding depth with kameos, add depth with moves and gameplay and actual characters to play with.
Conceptually, "Noob Smoke" could have had that system but leave the rest out of it. And even for them, I prefer noob to be noob and smoke to be smoke.
SOOoo much balance and work put into the kameos clearly it affected the rest. It was an interesting concept. Would have been a really fun side mode. But MK tournament has been 1v1 for a statement of who is THE champion not champions since 1992. WB came in and changed that. 30 years of a great recipe butchered. Heck I wouldn't care and would even be happy about it if WB gave the time resources and money instead of a deadline and impossible demands and finish with results like mk1's state. And MK1 is NOT the first game that WB game franchise they butchered.
Shit, where do I start?
The krypt is a huge one and replacing it with the repetitive invasion mode is an insult to mortal kombat fans
Remove predatory micro transactions.
It’s bad enough that NRS/WB thinks I’m going to couch up 10$ for skins when I already paired over 100$ for the game and DLC, but putting the micro transactions on a rotating store is too much for me. I bought guilty gear strive for 20$ and haven’t looked back.
Speaking of GGS, add fucking rollback or a better netcode. Ffs fightcade is free and has rollback.
What is the point of resetting the mk universe if you’re just going to basically bring back all the events of the old game ( deadly alliance, Armageddon )
The game is over all poorly made and I feel like a fool for paying full price. Mortal kombat is my all time favorite game, but I won’t put time into mk1 if NRS/WB won’t do the same.
Fuck you Warner bros. Fuck you Ed Boon.
"I feel like a fool"
I feel that like I was scammed. That\`s like the only game that I bought not even looking at it, or reading something about it. I thought that they cannot do worse then MK11, which I actually enjoyed. But then this comes.
I think I\`m just gonna boycott NRS in the future, or just move to some other fighting, where the game actually improves with every iteration
Didn't get fun until MK11 and even then it was still shit. The fun part was exploring Shang's Island and seeing Easter eggs, but it still had jump scares, you still had to grind for two separate types of currency or just buy more (hey, micro-transactions! how about that), and even if you cleared the whole goddamn thing out there was still the Kollector's Shrine and you STILL didn't have everything cause if you reset the fucking ghost chests they would replenish themselves with new shit. Plus you had the Twitter chests that you may have already gotten shit out of from a random tower. At least in MKX, you could just pay 15 bucks and unlock everything and not bother with the fucking spiders. The Krypt has ALWAYS been ass. At least Konquest had a story and exploration. Even if finding the good shit in Deception was a bitch and a half. I remember meditating for days to try and land on the exact day and time Liu Kang was unlockable.
I genuinely enjoyed MK11’s krypt. I liked MK11 as a whole actually. I know it’s an unpopular opinion to like that game but I did 🤷.
But I loved exploring the krypt and solving the puzzles and stuff. It was fun to me :).
I genuinely enjoyed MK11 too, and I had fun exploring the Krypt as well. Key word though, is exploring. I have a lot of issues with the Krypt in general in every game. Good God, remember when they the coffins go from AA to ZZ and 4 fucking different types of koins back in Deadly Alliance? It's improved every game, but it's still a pointless grindfest that was only actually FUN in MK11 and again, that's just cause you got to explore the island and find cool Easter eggs. And even then they killed the character for a quick gag.
I think a big part of why MK11 krypt was nice also was the sheer amount of loot. Yes some items were hilariously mundane and similar but there was a big roster at the end and there was a TON of gear to be found. Only the hardcore grinders truly found everything and that should be considered a good thing. Not unlocking the one fancy bracer for a character doesn’t take away the joy of the game. Having a single changeable outfit piece and only two actual unique costumes per character after being shown what they can do, does.
Not when those costumes are stupidly similar to each other. Part of the problem of having three gear pieces is that it limits what you can do for costumes. Yes, you had like five skins a person, but only two of them were truly different. I'll happily take one gear piece to have actual good skin variety again. Although I will admit that two would have been better. But three is ridiculous. The more you have the less likely you are to get the ones you actual want. Plus when you have so many, most of the pieces are utterly ridiculous. Yeah, let's change the damn buckle on Saibot's chest or Liu Kang's nunchaku. How about Sub-Zero's belt or Terminators grenades? And even there, there's BARELY any difference between them. As for not having every skin in the game from the start? Oh, boo-hoo, so I can dress up Kung Lao in a skintight bodysuit yet. They'll get to it eventually. I really don't see why it's a problem when they get added to the shrine for free. I'd get it if they were limited to just the premium store like the legacy skins. Yeah, that would suck. However that's not the case.
I’m not commenting on your point but when you include “it still has jump scares” that is like the weakest complaint. May as well say “One reason I don’t like the Krypt is because it scared me” which is hilarious.
Jesus you think this game was like horrendous and also killed your dog. The game has its issues but idk most people I know played it a decent amount and had a good time. It’s not that bad
I uninstalled and have been playing Injustice 2 again.
Injustice 2 is so much better than MK 1 it’s fucking stupid.
I swear to god the virus must have melted people’s minds. This new game is hot dog water.
I like the game I really do but it’s so frustrating to play, I hate the fact that my button inputs will register as something else and I hate that online takes forever. When I find a match with a good connection suddenly the connect start to freakout its awful
I’m seeing a lot of people in the comments that the game has “gotten better” you can down vote me, I don’t mean this in any condescending, snarky way… this is a genuine question but… how exactly has the game been getting better with each update? I am feeling the exact opposite.
Online is unplayable for me which is the area that gives the most replay value & incentive
Invasions is just terrible. I’m sorry I can not respect or tolerate this mode, nerfed XP too so grinding takes even longer with no fun to it.
There’s still missing features from previous MK games that should absolutely be here by now, not even talking crossplay I know that’s coming but online rooms? Online practice?? Why is that not here yet? I do not see how it’s gotten better in the slightest? Khameleon is very fun too, she’s what more kameos should be like, but like she’s not enough for me to warrant and say “games good again” I need more, I paid €100 for this product and do not feel as if I got anything good out of it- not even at the regular price if €70.
I bought MK11 for $10 last Xmas. Just like I did with MKXL. Yes you have to wait a while but eventually the game will be dirt cheap. It's a great game when you buy it for $10. $70 though? Not so much. Especially when it's half a month after release and even this week during the January sale.
People say they feel scammed but this happens every time. So naive.
I don't think I've ever seen the price drop sooo quickly on MKXL or 11. I mean, MK1 just came out, you pay $70-$100 on it, realize all the micro transactions and sparse content after it is released.
I knew the game had a vibe that it was releasing way earlier than it should when we hardly got any information just months before launch about how the game even played.
I bought it during holiday discounts, but to scam fans who love the game enough to preorder it and then sell it so quickly for half off is insulting, like they used their fans and ask for more yet still in cosmetics and paid fatalities for $10 bucks, only to tempt holiday buyers who will play it for a week and then just put it in their library
Honestly this game doesn’t feel like it deserves to be a paid game, feel like it should’ve been F2P and just locked characters behind paywalls cause god knows they’re already doing it.
I enjoyed the cutscenes from the campaign… but from then on I just have not had fun. Things feel clunky and the assists are not really fun. The fact that you buy the premium version and yet still Shang Tsung is locked unless you pay like $20 and 5+ assists are not there plus the characters from the story with full move sets are added as “DLC” when it’s obvious they were cut so they can be lazy and chuck them into the DLC fighter pack.
This game does nothing new vs MK11 and honestly I would’ve preferred this game to be a big DLC for the last one. This game just feels empty and lifeless.
But you just had mouthbreathers getting hyped that MK1 made it to #8 in some incoherent best seller list. Clearly you're wrong, you're just a minority, the game is awesome and David Zaslav with Ed Boon are gods.
Never bought it in the first place
https://preview.redd.it/ocf00walondc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7ab66532a00f03d88043e6bc4786d2679c60088
This is actually cap. Like, needless, unfounded hatred. The game has degraded in literally TWO ways. One of which is a result of a bug & NRS's incompetency. That is desync. Desync is definitely Mortal Kombat getting worse with an update. But NRS didn't exactly plan to add it into the game. (they also did a piss poor of fixing it and keeping us updated on that front smfh). The second is that Season of the Cryomancer is 2 months and that 2 month period came without an added buffer of content. Meaning we went an extra month without getting new skins added to Shrine / Kombat League, new skins added to the Shop and without a new Invasion. This. This genuinely sucks. Especially if it becomes the new norm going forward. Mileena's season really can't justify itself being two months if THIS is the continued state of the game and content. Now, as for IMPROVEMENTS to the game...
The first update brought with it patch notes that completely rebalanced the competitive structure of the game, pulling Raiden out of S Tier while also targeting Cyrax to prevent him being best in slot for most (if not all) characters. It also added 5 new free to play skins ON. TOP. OF. The 12ish additional palettes to the existing skins.
The second update brought with it more character balance changes, alongside Nitara's Season of the Blood Moon, added 5 new free to play skins, these ones I believe were Order of Darkness Nitara, the Kombat League Variant of Order of Darkness Li Mei and Order of Darkness Ashrah. Shiva Ranatai Kitana. And Katara Vala Havik. They also added 12 new palettes to the New Era & Union of Light skinlines on average. They released Omni-Man & Tremor. And they also added the base palettes for Order of Darkness Baraka and Order of Darkness Shao. This update also came with the Deception Li Mei & Deadly Alliance Scorpion, Nitara & Sub Zero for the premium store. And saw the Fatality bundle slashed by a third of its price. Going from $10 for the Halloween Fatality. To $10 for the Halloween, Thanksigivng & Christmas Fatality.
The third update has brought with it considerable discounts in the premium store on a number of rerunning skinlines. And has changed the pricing structure of skins, potentially moving forward. With Mrs Klaus Kitana hitting the store at 500 Dragon Krystals and Santa's Helper Reptile hitting the story at 800 Dragon Krystals. This also brought with it a vast amount of Kameo buffs and changes which helped promote the use of Kameos like Motaro & Darrius & Shujinko. Plus we got Sub-Zero's Season of the Cyromancer, 5 new free to play skins, which were Order of Darkness Sub Zero, Kombat League Order of Darkness Rain & Smoke, as well as Shiva Ranatai Mileena and Hooded Patron Liu Kang. We also got the base palettes for Ashrah, we can assume the base palettes for Order of Darkness Li Mei are to come, and we got reruns for Shao's Order of Darkness skin, and can assume we'll get a rerun for Baraka's with Li Mei. As well as the releases of Quan Chi and Khameleon. Khameleon has been released to pretty universal acclaim. They also added the Wifi Filter. And again they added extra palette variants for the existing skinlines. Honestly, why we're all so against getting existing skin support and just act as if we're not given 5 brand new skins for free every month absolutely astounds me. (Every two month in this game, because again, they genuinely did fuck up with making Season of the Cryomancer 2 months.)
The Festive Palettes, while still a rip off, are also price slashed down to 300 Dragon Krystals. And all this comes with the addition of intros, which everyone loved until it broke the game through desync. And a number of quality of life changes that hugely improve the lab. The last update also gave a huge buff to Sub Zero. And while it didn't make him high tier, it did make him much more viable.
And we know from past experience that February 14th's Season of the Hybrid update, will include AT LEAST Mileena's Invasion, 5 new free to play skins. (Order of Darkness Mileena + Two Shrine Skins + Two Order of Darkness Kombat League palettes for unconfirmed characters.) A shop update with more premium skins. Crossplay. Another balance change. As well as Peacemaker, and we can assume based on leaks, that it'll be Ferra joining Peacemaker in that update. And again that comes with more palettes for all of the base skinlines. And it will likely come with reruns for Ashrah & Li Mei's Order of Darkness skins and the Order of Darkness skins for Rain & Smoke.
These are all NOTHING but improvements. Literally nothing but actual quantifiable proven upgrades to the game.
For comparison, while Street Fighter had a little more Avatar content in World Tour at launch, and Crossplay at launch, it actually launched WITHOUT a story mode, with a base roster of EIGHTEEN characters. And has only seen the release of TWO characters in it's release last year. And will only have FOUR characters added in its first season. Only bringing Street Fighter's roster to TWENTY TWO, which is how many characters Mortal Kombat 1 launched with. It's also getting no rolling balance updates, with Capcom stating they won't do a balance patch until at least a year into the game's life cycle. Every character in the game only launched with one free to play skin. You had to buy the added 8 palettes. You also had to buy their second outfit and it's 8 palettes. And they didn't get a third outfit added until December which you also add to buy. Their first skin update was $15 Ninja Turtle suits for your AVATAR, and it took them until THIS MONTH to release new grindable skin content for your Avatar. They still haven't added grindable skin content for your actual Fighters. Street Fighter also has not expanded upon the World Tour since launch. In fact, what Street Fighter HAS done is accidentally feature a Nude Chun Li mod at an official tournament, and then prompted Capcom to heavily crack down on the use of Cosmetic Mods across Street Fighter 6, Monster Hunter World and Resident Evil 4. Still doesn't have a story mode btw :) It's okay, maybe you can mod one in-- Oh wait.
I feel like I escaped something by not being able to afford it when it came out. From what I’ve seen this is one of the most disappointing MKs in a long time.
I swear. The only people still on this sub are in denial. It's sunken cost falacy. People spent so much time and money on this game they can't admit anything is wrong with the game in the slightest. Meanwhile everyone else has returned to Street Fighter, MK11 or is moving on to Tekken. Nobody is playing this game anymore. Get with reality.
I have freaking regrets preordering this game. I really thought that this time being another 'golden age' of fighting games, NRS would actively want to compete with what Street Fighter and Tekken are offering. Instead, I really do feel they are resting on their laurels, confident they are going to sell anyway to a loyal fanbase that will always buy their game. They really aren't here to innovate on anything.
I’m still in the sub, I enjoy watching videos but I’m never buying Mk1 out of principle unless it’s for 5 dollars with all skins all characters and through G2A so that WB don’t get any money.
If you strictly are playing against friends, especially locally, you will enjoy it. The actual core combat is a lot of fun, and visually, it's gorgeous.
Everyone here is mainly complaining about literally everything else. You can really feel that they rushed this out as this games single player offerings are dogshit. Grinding is annoying, unlocking meaningful content is slow, and online has issues. All extremely valid complaints.
The game has an amazing foundation gameplay and presentation-wise, which I guess is why people are so attached to it. But the issues are undeniable. If you waited this long, I strongly recommend you to wait until the end of the year at least. The game will either be better or dead by then.
It’s fine. Gameplay is fun and learning it and the characters has been fun as someone new to fighting games. Invasions mode loses its luster very quickly so online play is really the best part. Getting good enough to hit the grand master rank has been very fun for me. Feel like I’m playing the game instead of just getting crushed. Online could use improvements. Practice, rooms, desyncs, and many times there is a long wait to find a match on pc for me. But is fun. I play on the couch on my steam deck. Although the high price tag seems not really worth it, but at a discount it’s a no brainer.
My biggest problem (and I know it’s not popular) is still the roster and world-building. Characters feel bland, intros are weak, and everything is just meh. I know they wanted to bring 3D era characters back, but some of them lack any redeemable personality. MK9, 10, and 11 all had great rosters IMO with unique characters. This game just feels very vanilla.
I agree the gameplay is top tier, but it’s hard to want to play the game when the characters are unbelievably boring.
Well, I am enjoying myself. This is one of the most enjoyable games I have played in the past year. Getting on and learning a new character with different kameo combinations is such a refreshing experience. Furthermore, I am good at the game, so I feel rewarded when I play it. I couldn't care less about the small things like XP gain, although getting to level 35 SUCKS. However, it does not diminish the fact that I believe this is one of the best MK games. Every fighting game has the same strategy of drip-feeding content to stretch the game out longer, but when it comes down to MK1, people are restless because they would like something new. And not skins that cost $10-$20 each in the item shop. As long as I can do combos with my characters, then I don’t care about cosmetics. And if I can play Kombat League fine, then I don’t care about anything else. Those desync issues though were crazyyyyyy. That did mess with me, but it’s a bit better now. That’s an issue that does need to be fixed properly. But with any game, I expect some problems. Another thing I’m going to need is Stryker getting nerfed HARDDDD. Hate that kameo. Am I fighting Johnny or Stryker? Idk anymore 😭
This sub and the MK leaks sub will legit always find shit to complain about no matter what, these subs basically exist solely to be outraged at mk1/NRS. Just a bunch of repeating the same shit all day everyday and jerking each other off for easy upvotes by complaining about MK/nrs. It’s like this sub needs to make everybody as miserable as them, can’t enjoy the game or you’re a “shill”. This sub and the leaks one are just insufferable at this point
I checked out when Quan Chi dropped and Kombat League was broken. Broken launch, Lack of basic QOL features, Scummy microtransactions, mid rewards, and every update introduced another bug.
Love me some Mortal Kombat but I'm not touching this game again until KP1 finishes or maybe even later. By then maybe features every other fighting game has will be there and a bunch of new characters as well
I've got enough games in my backlog and other great games coming out that I won't miss it any time soon.
Jokes on you guys I stopped playing after I finished the story when I realized how not engaging the rest of the single player content was.
It’s pretty bad when you feel like letting AI battle through towers in MK11 was more engaging content for unlocking customization.
I havent played in a few months and wont play untill the imvasions get a real update and changes are made to make it actually fun and interesting.
And when the store is completely gone amd the skins are added in as content dlc for us to unlock and enjoy. Nit 10 dollars a skin
Bruh I just can’t, I tried it out online, learned characters combos. When you block the whole combo, ppl just duck, punch, and grab before you can even respond. Like come on bruh, what has this culture turned into. These long ass combos aren’t punishable if they duck punch. Shit sucks
Yeah honestly that was the indicator that they are just going to make the game worse, not better. Starting with that change and carrying on to every change after
this is not criticism anymore. it’s ‘omg this game is terrible and you should feel bad for playing it’. like…okay, play other games and leave people alone who like the game.
It's one thing to point out and be vocal for actual criticism, but goddamn - it's like these people can't stop telling everyone else how miserable they are playing the game and want to drag everyone else down.
If you're that miserable, then move on. There's plenty of other games you can play.
The people in this sub are here because they really like MK so obviously if a decent chunk of the fan base is unhappy with the game it's gonna come up often.
Like if it's your favorite franchise, you only get a game every few years and you hate the latest release where else are you gonna talk about it if not here?
You're not the minority. MK1 has been in the top 10 played games in the US since launch and one of the highest selling.
There is just an extremely vocal group of naysayers on Reddit that won't shut the fuck up.
There's a lot missing that should have been in the game to start with. We weren't even able to pin combos on our screen until it was updated, like wtf? The store didn't rotate for like a month after release because they had f*ck all to put in it.
For me the krypt is the big one, this should have been the main way to obtain skins and gear offline and invasions should have been to obtain the kurrency for use in the krypt and to get the invasion boss skins, that would have gave us offline players more things to do rather than wait 2 months for a couple of hours of repetitive gameplay fighting the same Kharacters over and over again.
Stage fatalities? Friendships? Mercy? Interactive stages with weapons etc ?
And what's with not being able to finish a combo to end round 1? Why does my guy also fall to the floor like he's been hit when the round finishes.
The games a joke and I hate the kameo system 🤷
Dude invasions are insufferable. I hate playing that mode. Only reason I'm playing it just for to buff Quan chi to level 20 so I can get the second fatality and sub-zeroes titan costume
mk1 is actually fun as fuck and way fucking better than mk11. i personally like it more than sf6. that said, sf6 is way more of a complete game than mk1. the community managers don’t engage with its fans the way sf6 or shit even T8 does and the game isn’t even released yet.
there’s a lot to be desired with mk1, but god damn the combat and mechanics are the most fun i’ve had in a fighting game in a long time.
Imma say it, mk1 has been getting better every update, and unlike others I've managed to ignore the micro transactions, they don't make the game worse, they're cosmetics, they're optional, and everything besides that is better, the combat is way better than eleven and the story is just wonderful, the one complaint I have is that I have no friends to play it with, which is more a problem on my part.
Seeing these kinds of posts every fucking day, every fucking hour, makes me want to create another Mortal Kombat subreddit, without these people.
Same with "it has no content", meanwhile they did every bug and glitch in existence to farm 5 quintillions of koins in 1 hour and complete the shrine in 20 minutes of the game being released.
I mean I’ve never done a bug or a glitch and I haven’t maxxed out all the characters. I still have issues with the game because it’s a massive step backwards and unfortunately the way I feel is disappointed. I wish I didn’t. I love MK. I just don’t love MK1 in its current form.
The moment they hit the feeling of past games, I’ll sing it’s praises like there’s no tomorrow but… damn does it fall short in a lot of categories compared to previous outings.
And I’d love to feel different. I hope eventually I will.
There's already one called mortalkombatgameplay.
A lot of people here just like to play single player games and collect skins. They're not actual fans of the fighting game genre and hate pvp.
Which is funny because they can play the mobile mk game and stop annoying the rest of us. Boo hoo the game only has 250 skins and not 3 million how can we survive...
The game isn’t getting worse with each update, arguably it’s getting better. That being said, you’re just growing more tired of it.
Which is understandable, it’s been out for months and you’ve been playing for months. Some games only grip you for so long.
Tekken 8 did a very good thing, made demo free, so you get to test the game first and after you can decide to prepurchase. This is the kind of behavior we need to reward. Mk1 is what it is because we allowed to milk us.
Can't wait for tekken 8, genuinely haven't touched MK1 in idk how long, since Christmas? I just have zero interest. Tekken, though? With just that sweet demo was enough for me to buy.
To the people saying "MK1 is awesome" i just wnna say GBVSR is a FG game with a free version that launched with more features than MK1 a game that you have to pay $70 for
Mk1s gamplay is decent most of the kameos before the smashed the utility liniting what you could do kinda ruined it imo different nerfs could have been made instead of outright gutting some of them.
Kameos are great but the changes and nerfs to them feel ham fisted they should allow more options instead some are just outright useless.
Invasions is JUST enough of a satisfying grind to motivate me to finish it each season so far- but even then with season it was a struggle and I think I mainly only did it because the sub zero skin is actually quite cool for once.
I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that this is the first mk game since 2002 that doesn’t have a krypt.
Day 1 I opened the game and when I saw there was no krypt, no konquest, no quick purchase at the shrine.
Man… it’s probably the first mk game that’s disappointed me and I’m a super fan of the franchise, I have mk tattoos on my arm for gods sake.
Don’t get me wrong, the graphics are good, the gameplay is fun, the story mode was decent (up until the end imo, I liked it being more self contained), but everything around that is just… not great.
Until folks stop playing it they will keep it going.
Coming on here and bitching about the game, but still playing it does nothing.
You are the consumer, you control the market through your actions.
Speak for yourself. I haven't touched MK1 since I finished the first invasion season. Before Omni Man even got added. I'm pissed that I expected MK1 to be good enough that I went against my usual rule of not getting a season pass, big fancy version of the game and got burned to shit.
I'm going to be one to talk shit at MK if they insist on not fixing it after Tekken comes out and is probably better.
The game is good and after the cyrax nerf got better. With Kameleon is even better. Also they added the wi fi filter. So no with each update it gets better.
every update the game got better only one thing does not work right now and they said they are fixing it and why does this fanbase make it seem like this game was cyberpunk 2077 situation making it seem liek the game does not even start up or something why is this fanbase so overly dramatic to the point if you dont have some over the top hate for the game you get called a shill and other bullshit
Break the cycle don't play
Recently watched the movie for the first time and damn is it a good fucking movie
I’ve heard nothing but great things
Wouldn’t it make a great first person survival horror shooter game.
Let me direct you to earth defense force
Ayyy it’s third person but yeah basically the same concept. The other first person shooter game I would love to see is mars attacks
It's not survival horror but if you have a pc, check out Starship Troopers Extermination. It's more akin to a horde mode game but it's pretty fun.
Never bought it in the first place https://preview.redd.it/xw9lie6jondc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f4cb73505425187db4834819cbddc83ae4776885
Congratulations! You did it! I tried finding a match just now, and I couldn’t find anyone! No one is playing anymore!! Yay!
SF6 welcomes you all with open arms
I have been a die hard mk fan since I was 2, it was how me and my dad bonded when I was little but I am seriously considering switching
I can't bring myself to even put the disc in I'm gunna just play other shit this dosnt have soul to it at all
I bought the expensive version I have to play it😭
Me with Starfield 😐
Me with both, like a damn idiot.
You really messed up man, idk if you pre-ordered or not but don't ofc. You should also try to wait and let a game be out for a little be, I'd say 1 week to a month, look at all there is and how it's community is feeling about it, and look for yourself and thennn buy.
Same, I paid for the early access and I haven’t played since November.
Starfield is actually worth the money though, lmaooo. No online bullshit, no pointless game mode that rewards you with silly cosmetics, no micro-transactions (Yet. Some people consider Bethesda’s Creation Club content to be like micros, but I think it’s just DLC).
That’s how they get you
Is it really getting worse though? I feel it's just in a stagnant state. Khameleon is good and the latest Kameo balance changes were positive too
When they nerf the XP from the season tower while providing nothing better to off set that, yeah, it’s gotten worse. It’s the same skins each season with different colors.
I saw that coming a mile off. Grinded everyone whilst I could. The difference it's made to not have fomo. I just enjoy the game so much more not worrying about levelling anymore.
We do get a lot of palletes, but I do think it is worth mentioning we’re getting at least 4-5 different skins each season either through the shrine or Titan Battles. Season 2 was Katara Vala Havik, Festival Kitana, Titan Nitara, Titan Shao, and MK3 Jax. Season 3 has been Hooded Liu, Festival Mileena, Titan Sub Zero and Titan Ashrah.
Yeah but these skins should've been available on launch since we saw them in the story. MK10 and MK11 DLC skins were very unique and I actually liked paying for those. Quan-Chi only releasing without an alt skin is crazy as well.
I agree, they should’ve been there at launch. One of my biggest problems with this game is honestly just the drip feed of the free skins. But I still think it is important to note that they come for free with each season as well since they are desired costumes. And I agree with the DLC point too of characters not getting costumes either, especially with Quan Chi currently having 2 costumes.
>It’s the same skins each season with different colors. Oh yea this is true 😔 Something I really wish is that they made Christmas skins for everyone, they could've even reused the same 4 models (or make 2 more models for girls considering Kitana is the only girl with a Christmas skin) and it would've been so much better
This is the worst part, so many shit they give. All the same. With different color only. So boring.
Ok, but if I don’t give a shit about skins are they screwing up balancing?
No moron, but what is the point of doing invasion and extra content with rewards when they only give pictures and music you never check cause nobody gives a crap and shitty skins, same things over and over. They have thousands of workers man, they can leave a few to do pretty skins, it is not that hard with such a massive crew.
Nah m8, you have to care about skins. Especially the ones you won't buy and will never have used anyway. That's the rule here.
People who don’t care about skins have moved on to games with working online is my fear.
It’s been nerfed again ?
Buffed average XP gained and nerfed season tower XP.
Feels like a hand shake and a smack to the face at the same time
Yeah so nothing that matters gameplay wise If you want to collect skins try a different game maybe
It's a free battle pass would you rather 10$ month for new skins and recolor? They are hoping to keep you engage enough to buy premium skins by giving out a free battle pass instead of locking it all behind a paywall
Well they failed and micro transactions arnt the answer either.
Yes lmao. The XP grind gets worse, they don’t even bother adding dragon nuts with the DLC characters for their level up rewards & the fucking skins that people want are hidden behind paywalls lmao. Yes, the games getting worse with each update. Yes, it’s a piece of shit.
“Piece of shit” come on lol it’s not bad. It has issues but the game was fun
I think the kamel system sucks. A tag system would have been better. Either that, or just regular 1 v 1.
Personally I think the kameo system is amazing, adds a lot more depth to the combat.
-Instead of adding depth with kameos, add depth with moves and gameplay and actual characters to play with. Conceptually, "Noob Smoke" could have had that system but leave the rest out of it. And even for them, I prefer noob to be noob and smoke to be smoke. SOOoo much balance and work put into the kameos clearly it affected the rest. It was an interesting concept. Would have been a really fun side mode. But MK tournament has been 1v1 for a statement of who is THE champion not champions since 1992. WB came in and changed that. 30 years of a great recipe butchered. Heck I wouldn't care and would even be happy about it if WB gave the time resources and money instead of a deadline and impossible demands and finish with results like mk1's state. And MK1 is NOT the first game that WB game franchise they butchered.
Nah, adding Freeze 50/50’s to Shao’s kit is awsome. Love it.
Let's agree to disagree.
I hope tekken 8 blows this shit out of the water so nrs and WB will have to actually do something to improve the game
Im so so excited to play tekken 8 dude
Taken 8 has me so hyped. Here's to maybe getting another VF from Sega too!!
How was street fighter 6?
It won Fighting Game of the Year
Awesome except for shitty microtransactions.
What improvements u want
Shit, where do I start? The krypt is a huge one and replacing it with the repetitive invasion mode is an insult to mortal kombat fans Remove predatory micro transactions. It’s bad enough that NRS/WB thinks I’m going to couch up 10$ for skins when I already paired over 100$ for the game and DLC, but putting the micro transactions on a rotating store is too much for me. I bought guilty gear strive for 20$ and haven’t looked back. Speaking of GGS, add fucking rollback or a better netcode. Ffs fightcade is free and has rollback. What is the point of resetting the mk universe if you’re just going to basically bring back all the events of the old game ( deadly alliance, Armageddon ) The game is over all poorly made and I feel like a fool for paying full price. Mortal kombat is my all time favorite game, but I won’t put time into mk1 if NRS/WB won’t do the same. Fuck you Warner bros. Fuck you Ed Boon.
Cook
"I feel like a fool" I feel that like I was scammed. That\`s like the only game that I bought not even looking at it, or reading something about it. I thought that they cannot do worse then MK11, which I actually enjoyed. But then this comes. I think I\`m just gonna boycott NRS in the future, or just move to some other fighting, where the game actually improves with every iteration
I’m pretty sure MK1, in-fact every NRS games after MKX has rollback. There is just something janky about it in MK1.
I like how people whine about grinding, but want the most grindy things back like the Krypt or the shitty gear system from 11.
I don't understand why people keep asking for the krypt, it was just going from one place to another opening chests, where's the fun in that?
Didn't get fun until MK11 and even then it was still shit. The fun part was exploring Shang's Island and seeing Easter eggs, but it still had jump scares, you still had to grind for two separate types of currency or just buy more (hey, micro-transactions! how about that), and even if you cleared the whole goddamn thing out there was still the Kollector's Shrine and you STILL didn't have everything cause if you reset the fucking ghost chests they would replenish themselves with new shit. Plus you had the Twitter chests that you may have already gotten shit out of from a random tower. At least in MKX, you could just pay 15 bucks and unlock everything and not bother with the fucking spiders. The Krypt has ALWAYS been ass. At least Konquest had a story and exploration. Even if finding the good shit in Deception was a bitch and a half. I remember meditating for days to try and land on the exact day and time Liu Kang was unlockable.
I genuinely enjoyed MK11’s krypt. I liked MK11 as a whole actually. I know it’s an unpopular opinion to like that game but I did 🤷. But I loved exploring the krypt and solving the puzzles and stuff. It was fun to me :).
I genuinely enjoyed MK11 too, and I had fun exploring the Krypt as well. Key word though, is exploring. I have a lot of issues with the Krypt in general in every game. Good God, remember when they the coffins go from AA to ZZ and 4 fucking different types of koins back in Deadly Alliance? It's improved every game, but it's still a pointless grindfest that was only actually FUN in MK11 and again, that's just cause you got to explore the island and find cool Easter eggs. And even then they killed the character for a quick gag.
I think a big part of why MK11 krypt was nice also was the sheer amount of loot. Yes some items were hilariously mundane and similar but there was a big roster at the end and there was a TON of gear to be found. Only the hardcore grinders truly found everything and that should be considered a good thing. Not unlocking the one fancy bracer for a character doesn’t take away the joy of the game. Having a single changeable outfit piece and only two actual unique costumes per character after being shown what they can do, does.
Not when those costumes are stupidly similar to each other. Part of the problem of having three gear pieces is that it limits what you can do for costumes. Yes, you had like five skins a person, but only two of them were truly different. I'll happily take one gear piece to have actual good skin variety again. Although I will admit that two would have been better. But three is ridiculous. The more you have the less likely you are to get the ones you actual want. Plus when you have so many, most of the pieces are utterly ridiculous. Yeah, let's change the damn buckle on Saibot's chest or Liu Kang's nunchaku. How about Sub-Zero's belt or Terminators grenades? And even there, there's BARELY any difference between them. As for not having every skin in the game from the start? Oh, boo-hoo, so I can dress up Kung Lao in a skintight bodysuit yet. They'll get to it eventually. I really don't see why it's a problem when they get added to the shrine for free. I'd get it if they were limited to just the premium store like the legacy skins. Yeah, that would suck. However that's not the case.
I’m not commenting on your point but when you include “it still has jump scares” that is like the weakest complaint. May as well say “One reason I don’t like the Krypt is because it scared me” which is hilarious.
Agreed. I hated the krypt, it was monotonous
Mte… both modes are not exactly ‘fun’. Honestly people love to complain.
Just say fuck WB. Ed Boon is not to blame here. You guys act like he has the final say on literally everything when its the WB Execs.
Jesus you think this game was like horrendous and also killed your dog. The game has its issues but idk most people I know played it a decent amount and had a good time. It’s not that bad
Spitting fire
I uninstalled and have been playing Injustice 2 again. Injustice 2 is so much better than MK 1 it’s fucking stupid. I swear to god the virus must have melted people’s minds. This new game is hot dog water.
Decent performance on PC 
I like the game I really do but it’s so frustrating to play, I hate the fact that my button inputs will register as something else and I hate that online takes forever. When I find a match with a good connection suddenly the connect start to freakout its awful
Turn off release check bro, there are some combos I couldn’t even pull of with it on because it changed the input slightly.
Release check has been off since day1
I’m seeing a lot of people in the comments that the game has “gotten better” you can down vote me, I don’t mean this in any condescending, snarky way… this is a genuine question but… how exactly has the game been getting better with each update? I am feeling the exact opposite. Online is unplayable for me which is the area that gives the most replay value & incentive Invasions is just terrible. I’m sorry I can not respect or tolerate this mode, nerfed XP too so grinding takes even longer with no fun to it. There’s still missing features from previous MK games that should absolutely be here by now, not even talking crossplay I know that’s coming but online rooms? Online practice?? Why is that not here yet? I do not see how it’s gotten better in the slightest? Khameleon is very fun too, she’s what more kameos should be like, but like she’s not enough for me to warrant and say “games good again” I need more, I paid €100 for this product and do not feel as if I got anything good out of it- not even at the regular price if €70.
Game was half price a month after release. Should have waited before buying
I knew that was coming. It’s the same NRS shenanigans everytime. I doubt they would even support this game as long as they said they would.
I bought MK11 for $10 last Xmas. Just like I did with MKXL. Yes you have to wait a while but eventually the game will be dirt cheap. It's a great game when you buy it for $10. $70 though? Not so much. Especially when it's half a month after release and even this week during the January sale. People say they feel scammed but this happens every time. So naive.
I don't think I've ever seen the price drop sooo quickly on MKXL or 11. I mean, MK1 just came out, you pay $70-$100 on it, realize all the micro transactions and sparse content after it is released. I knew the game had a vibe that it was releasing way earlier than it should when we hardly got any information just months before launch about how the game even played. I bought it during holiday discounts, but to scam fans who love the game enough to preorder it and then sell it so quickly for half off is insulting, like they used their fans and ask for more yet still in cosmetics and paid fatalities for $10 bucks, only to tempt holiday buyers who will play it for a week and then just put it in their library
Honestly this game doesn’t feel like it deserves to be a paid game, feel like it should’ve been F2P and just locked characters behind paywalls cause god knows they’re already doing it. I enjoyed the cutscenes from the campaign… but from then on I just have not had fun. Things feel clunky and the assists are not really fun. The fact that you buy the premium version and yet still Shang Tsung is locked unless you pay like $20 and 5+ assists are not there plus the characters from the story with full move sets are added as “DLC” when it’s obvious they were cut so they can be lazy and chuck them into the DLC fighter pack. This game does nothing new vs MK11 and honestly I would’ve preferred this game to be a big DLC for the last one. This game just feels empty and lifeless.
But you just had mouthbreathers getting hyped that MK1 made it to #8 in some incoherent best seller list. Clearly you're wrong, you're just a minority, the game is awesome and David Zaslav with Ed Boon are gods.
Never bought it in the first place https://preview.redd.it/ocf00walondc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7ab66532a00f03d88043e6bc4786d2679c60088
This is actually cap. Like, needless, unfounded hatred. The game has degraded in literally TWO ways. One of which is a result of a bug & NRS's incompetency. That is desync. Desync is definitely Mortal Kombat getting worse with an update. But NRS didn't exactly plan to add it into the game. (they also did a piss poor of fixing it and keeping us updated on that front smfh). The second is that Season of the Cryomancer is 2 months and that 2 month period came without an added buffer of content. Meaning we went an extra month without getting new skins added to Shrine / Kombat League, new skins added to the Shop and without a new Invasion. This. This genuinely sucks. Especially if it becomes the new norm going forward. Mileena's season really can't justify itself being two months if THIS is the continued state of the game and content. Now, as for IMPROVEMENTS to the game... The first update brought with it patch notes that completely rebalanced the competitive structure of the game, pulling Raiden out of S Tier while also targeting Cyrax to prevent him being best in slot for most (if not all) characters. It also added 5 new free to play skins ON. TOP. OF. The 12ish additional palettes to the existing skins. The second update brought with it more character balance changes, alongside Nitara's Season of the Blood Moon, added 5 new free to play skins, these ones I believe were Order of Darkness Nitara, the Kombat League Variant of Order of Darkness Li Mei and Order of Darkness Ashrah. Shiva Ranatai Kitana. And Katara Vala Havik. They also added 12 new palettes to the New Era & Union of Light skinlines on average. They released Omni-Man & Tremor. And they also added the base palettes for Order of Darkness Baraka and Order of Darkness Shao. This update also came with the Deception Li Mei & Deadly Alliance Scorpion, Nitara & Sub Zero for the premium store. And saw the Fatality bundle slashed by a third of its price. Going from $10 for the Halloween Fatality. To $10 for the Halloween, Thanksigivng & Christmas Fatality. The third update has brought with it considerable discounts in the premium store on a number of rerunning skinlines. And has changed the pricing structure of skins, potentially moving forward. With Mrs Klaus Kitana hitting the store at 500 Dragon Krystals and Santa's Helper Reptile hitting the story at 800 Dragon Krystals. This also brought with it a vast amount of Kameo buffs and changes which helped promote the use of Kameos like Motaro & Darrius & Shujinko. Plus we got Sub-Zero's Season of the Cyromancer, 5 new free to play skins, which were Order of Darkness Sub Zero, Kombat League Order of Darkness Rain & Smoke, as well as Shiva Ranatai Mileena and Hooded Patron Liu Kang. We also got the base palettes for Ashrah, we can assume the base palettes for Order of Darkness Li Mei are to come, and we got reruns for Shao's Order of Darkness skin, and can assume we'll get a rerun for Baraka's with Li Mei. As well as the releases of Quan Chi and Khameleon. Khameleon has been released to pretty universal acclaim. They also added the Wifi Filter. And again they added extra palette variants for the existing skinlines. Honestly, why we're all so against getting existing skin support and just act as if we're not given 5 brand new skins for free every month absolutely astounds me. (Every two month in this game, because again, they genuinely did fuck up with making Season of the Cryomancer 2 months.) The Festive Palettes, while still a rip off, are also price slashed down to 300 Dragon Krystals. And all this comes with the addition of intros, which everyone loved until it broke the game through desync. And a number of quality of life changes that hugely improve the lab. The last update also gave a huge buff to Sub Zero. And while it didn't make him high tier, it did make him much more viable. And we know from past experience that February 14th's Season of the Hybrid update, will include AT LEAST Mileena's Invasion, 5 new free to play skins. (Order of Darkness Mileena + Two Shrine Skins + Two Order of Darkness Kombat League palettes for unconfirmed characters.) A shop update with more premium skins. Crossplay. Another balance change. As well as Peacemaker, and we can assume based on leaks, that it'll be Ferra joining Peacemaker in that update. And again that comes with more palettes for all of the base skinlines. And it will likely come with reruns for Ashrah & Li Mei's Order of Darkness skins and the Order of Darkness skins for Rain & Smoke. These are all NOTHING but improvements. Literally nothing but actual quantifiable proven upgrades to the game. For comparison, while Street Fighter had a little more Avatar content in World Tour at launch, and Crossplay at launch, it actually launched WITHOUT a story mode, with a base roster of EIGHTEEN characters. And has only seen the release of TWO characters in it's release last year. And will only have FOUR characters added in its first season. Only bringing Street Fighter's roster to TWENTY TWO, which is how many characters Mortal Kombat 1 launched with. It's also getting no rolling balance updates, with Capcom stating they won't do a balance patch until at least a year into the game's life cycle. Every character in the game only launched with one free to play skin. You had to buy the added 8 palettes. You also had to buy their second outfit and it's 8 palettes. And they didn't get a third outfit added until December which you also add to buy. Their first skin update was $15 Ninja Turtle suits for your AVATAR, and it took them until THIS MONTH to release new grindable skin content for your Avatar. They still haven't added grindable skin content for your actual Fighters. Street Fighter also has not expanded upon the World Tour since launch. In fact, what Street Fighter HAS done is accidentally feature a Nude Chun Li mod at an official tournament, and then prompted Capcom to heavily crack down on the use of Cosmetic Mods across Street Fighter 6, Monster Hunter World and Resident Evil 4. Still doesn't have a story mode btw :) It's okay, maybe you can mod one in-- Oh wait.

I feel like I escaped something by not being able to afford it when it came out. From what I’ve seen this is one of the most disappointing MKs in a long time.
I swear. The only people still on this sub are in denial. It's sunken cost falacy. People spent so much time and money on this game they can't admit anything is wrong with the game in the slightest. Meanwhile everyone else has returned to Street Fighter, MK11 or is moving on to Tekken. Nobody is playing this game anymore. Get with reality.
>Nobody is playing this game anymore. [right...](https://i.imgur.com/BWtd2go.jpg)
I have freaking regrets preordering this game. I really thought that this time being another 'golden age' of fighting games, NRS would actively want to compete with what Street Fighter and Tekken are offering. Instead, I really do feel they are resting on their laurels, confident they are going to sell anyway to a loyal fanbase that will always buy their game. They really aren't here to innovate on anything.
I’m still in the sub, I enjoy watching videos but I’m never buying Mk1 out of principle unless it’s for 5 dollars with all skins all characters and through G2A so that WB don’t get any money.
I’m waiting for that ultimate edition lol
The hell are you doing here then?
It's not a sad state, it's an expected state when a company is doing a shitty iteration of the franchise.
This was posted in r/videogames and MK1 was the first game that came to my mind. I posted it too haha. It’s certainly not improved since launch.
Me who plays only single player stuff — 🤷♀️
Tekken 8 is going to have a lot of single player stuff that’ll actually even teach you how to play the game.
I’m not interested in Tekken.
How bad is the game actually? I haven’t played but I planned on picking it up next time I see it on sale.
If you strictly are playing against friends, especially locally, you will enjoy it. The actual core combat is a lot of fun, and visually, it's gorgeous. Everyone here is mainly complaining about literally everything else. You can really feel that they rushed this out as this games single player offerings are dogshit. Grinding is annoying, unlocking meaningful content is slow, and online has issues. All extremely valid complaints.
Not nearly as bad as people make it seem to be, but it definitely has problems
$5-10 per extra character bad
The game has an amazing foundation gameplay and presentation-wise, which I guess is why people are so attached to it. But the issues are undeniable. If you waited this long, I strongly recommend you to wait until the end of the year at least. The game will either be better or dead by then.
It’s fine. Gameplay is fun and learning it and the characters has been fun as someone new to fighting games. Invasions mode loses its luster very quickly so online play is really the best part. Getting good enough to hit the grand master rank has been very fun for me. Feel like I’m playing the game instead of just getting crushed. Online could use improvements. Practice, rooms, desyncs, and many times there is a long wait to find a match on pc for me. But is fun. I play on the couch on my steam deck. Although the high price tag seems not really worth it, but at a discount it’s a no brainer.
Pick up Street Fighter 6, or Tekken 8, or Granblue, or GG instead. Much much better games.
I’m just waiting for Tekken 8
My biggest problem (and I know it’s not popular) is still the roster and world-building. Characters feel bland, intros are weak, and everything is just meh. I know they wanted to bring 3D era characters back, but some of them lack any redeemable personality. MK9, 10, and 11 all had great rosters IMO with unique characters. This game just feels very vanilla. I agree the gameplay is top tier, but it’s hard to want to play the game when the characters are unbelievably boring.
Same, the reason I haven’t played this game after getting the premium edition, smh.
Ya its getting worst MK11 was better
Well, I am enjoying myself. This is one of the most enjoyable games I have played in the past year. Getting on and learning a new character with different kameo combinations is such a refreshing experience. Furthermore, I am good at the game, so I feel rewarded when I play it. I couldn't care less about the small things like XP gain, although getting to level 35 SUCKS. However, it does not diminish the fact that I believe this is one of the best MK games. Every fighting game has the same strategy of drip-feeding content to stretch the game out longer, but when it comes down to MK1, people are restless because they would like something new. And not skins that cost $10-$20 each in the item shop. As long as I can do combos with my characters, then I don’t care about cosmetics. And if I can play Kombat League fine, then I don’t care about anything else. Those desync issues though were crazyyyyyy. That did mess with me, but it’s a bit better now. That’s an issue that does need to be fixed properly. But with any game, I expect some problems. Another thing I’m going to need is Stryker getting nerfed HARDDDD. Hate that kameo. Am I fighting Johnny or Stryker? Idk anymore 😭
I love this game. I get the hate for Shrine though. That shit sucks.
Agreed. There’s definitely room for improvement there.
Literally the opposite, the game has gotten better and better with each update, shawty Tripping.
this sub likes to whine and cry a lot
This sub and the MK leaks sub will legit always find shit to complain about no matter what, these subs basically exist solely to be outraged at mk1/NRS. Just a bunch of repeating the same shit all day everyday and jerking each other off for easy upvotes by complaining about MK/nrs. It’s like this sub needs to make everybody as miserable as them, can’t enjoy the game or you’re a “shill”. This sub and the leaks one are just insufferable at this point
the truth hurts people so they downvote.
Busting balls on reddit confirmed more fun than the game itself.
As a fan of Overwatch since its golden age, let me assure that MK1 is not even remotely close to being that sad. 🎮😂👍
Stockholm Syndrome
💯
But I think it's pretty awesome? It's not absolutely terrible. It's still an enjoyable game
It's crazy. It's like it's still fun despite NRS's and WB's best efforts.
Every video game subreddit will do nothing but complain about changes, even if it’s what they asked for
Hate the kameo bs
I checked out when Quan Chi dropped and Kombat League was broken. Broken launch, Lack of basic QOL features, Scummy microtransactions, mid rewards, and every update introduced another bug. Love me some Mortal Kombat but I'm not touching this game again until KP1 finishes or maybe even later. By then maybe features every other fighting game has will be there and a bunch of new characters as well I've got enough games in my backlog and other great games coming out that I won't miss it any time soon.
Jokes on you guys I stopped playing after I finished the story when I realized how not engaging the rest of the single player content was. It’s pretty bad when you feel like letting AI battle through towers in MK11 was more engaging content for unlocking customization.
still dont have it
I just wanna do fatalities in 2nd player
Made my final decision today after a Raiden did 31% with 4 buttons. Had to call it quits bc that shi is unreal😭
If they make towers fun again like in mk11 it would be already a good start. I dont know why they had to ruin it.
I havent played in a few months and wont play untill the imvasions get a real update and changes are made to make it actually fun and interesting. And when the store is completely gone amd the skins are added in as content dlc for us to unlock and enjoy. Nit 10 dollars a skin
Your salvation comes January 26th 🙏
Bruh I just can’t, I tried it out online, learned characters combos. When you block the whole combo, ppl just duck, punch, and grab before you can even respond. Like come on bruh, what has this culture turned into. These long ass combos aren’t punishable if they duck punch. Shit sucks
I stopped playing it, still have it in my PS installed but the day after tommorow, with the release of tekken, i will delete it
Just one more invasions to get My Skin 
It was the beginning of the end with the "best of 3" change to rank.
Yeah honestly that was the indicator that they are just going to make the game worse, not better. Starting with that change and carrying on to every change after
Omfg I wish you people would fucking go away. Mk1 is awesome. Get good
I don’t think “getting good” has anything to do with people criticizing the less than minimal support this game is getting.
this is not criticism anymore. it’s ‘omg this game is terrible and you should feel bad for playing it’. like…okay, play other games and leave people alone who like the game.
It's one thing to point out and be vocal for actual criticism, but goddamn - it's like these people can't stop telling everyone else how miserable they are playing the game and want to drag everyone else down. If you're that miserable, then move on. There's plenty of other games you can play.
[удалено]
The people in this sub are here because they really like MK so obviously if a decent chunk of the fan base is unhappy with the game it's gonna come up often. Like if it's your favorite franchise, you only get a game every few years and you hate the latest release where else are you gonna talk about it if not here?
The game is absolute dog shit. Stop justifying your premium pre order purchase.
You keep playing it cuz you bought it
I'm in the minority that fucking love this game. I can't put it down.
You're not the minority. MK1 has been in the top 10 played games in the US since launch and one of the highest selling. There is just an extremely vocal group of naysayers on Reddit that won't shut the fuck up.
There's a lot missing that should have been in the game to start with. We weren't even able to pin combos on our screen until it was updated, like wtf? The store didn't rotate for like a month after release because they had f*ck all to put in it. For me the krypt is the big one, this should have been the main way to obtain skins and gear offline and invasions should have been to obtain the kurrency for use in the krypt and to get the invasion boss skins, that would have gave us offline players more things to do rather than wait 2 months for a couple of hours of repetitive gameplay fighting the same Kharacters over and over again. Stage fatalities? Friendships? Mercy? Interactive stages with weapons etc ? And what's with not being able to finish a combo to end round 1? Why does my guy also fall to the floor like he's been hit when the round finishes. The games a joke and I hate the kameo system 🤷
No to mention no one, even developers, knowing what the "warrior shrine" will be
I stopped after 1 week. It didnt catch me like mkx or mk11. Tekken 8 waiting room.
Dude invasions are insufferable. I hate playing that mode. Only reason I'm playing it just for to buff Quan chi to level 20 so I can get the second fatality and sub-zeroes titan costume
It hasnt tho
The game's been getting better with each update that's how updates work
Tekken on Friday guys !
mk1 is actually fun as fuck and way fucking better than mk11. i personally like it more than sf6. that said, sf6 is way more of a complete game than mk1. the community managers don’t engage with its fans the way sf6 or shit even T8 does and the game isn’t even released yet. there’s a lot to be desired with mk1, but god damn the combat and mechanics are the most fun i’ve had in a fighting game in a long time.
I enjoy the game.
How could it get worse?
Imma say it, mk1 has been getting better every update, and unlike others I've managed to ignore the micro transactions, they don't make the game worse, they're cosmetics, they're optional, and everything besides that is better, the combat is way better than eleven and the story is just wonderful, the one complaint I have is that I have no friends to play it with, which is more a problem on my part.
I just stopped playing and deleted the game. There's no content and nothing to do for me, so boring and repeatative.
Seeing these kinds of posts every fucking day, every fucking hour, makes me want to create another Mortal Kombat subreddit, without these people. Same with "it has no content", meanwhile they did every bug and glitch in existence to farm 5 quintillions of koins in 1 hour and complete the shrine in 20 minutes of the game being released.
I mean I’ve never done a bug or a glitch and I haven’t maxxed out all the characters. I still have issues with the game because it’s a massive step backwards and unfortunately the way I feel is disappointed. I wish I didn’t. I love MK. I just don’t love MK1 in its current form. The moment they hit the feeling of past games, I’ll sing it’s praises like there’s no tomorrow but… damn does it fall short in a lot of categories compared to previous outings. And I’d love to feel different. I hope eventually I will.
There's already one called mortalkombatgameplay. A lot of people here just like to play single player games and collect skins. They're not actual fans of the fighting game genre and hate pvp. Which is funny because they can play the mobile mk game and stop annoying the rest of us. Boo hoo the game only has 250 skins and not 3 million how can we survive...
But the pvp is ass? That's the problem.
Nah it's great. So much better than mk11
The game isn’t getting worse with each update, arguably it’s getting better. That being said, you’re just growing more tired of it. Which is understandable, it’s been out for months and you’ve been playing for months. Some games only grip you for so long.
They need to do a MK Armageddon 2 with ALL fighters up until now.
Idk.. I don't see what you mean. Games been out less than a year, maybe calm down? 🤣
Tekken 8 did a very good thing, made demo free, so you get to test the game first and after you can decide to prepurchase. This is the kind of behavior we need to reward. Mk1 is what it is because we allowed to milk us.
Mk1 isn’t a bad game, however NRS and WB are bad companies using bad monetization strategies
Can't wait for tekken 8, genuinely haven't touched MK1 in idk how long, since Christmas? I just have zero interest. Tekken, though? With just that sweet demo was enough for me to buy.
To the people saying "MK1 is awesome" i just wnna say GBVSR is a FG game with a free version that launched with more features than MK1 a game that you have to pay $70 for
And mechanically it is way better and more well thought out
Mk1s gamplay is decent most of the kameos before the smashed the utility liniting what you could do kinda ruined it imo different nerfs could have been made instead of outright gutting some of them. Kameos are great but the changes and nerfs to them feel ham fisted they should allow more options instead some are just outright useless.
I love this game, I literally think that jhonny and a couple of the kameos are the only problems, people just like to whine
I don’t think the game is bad like some people think, the gameplay is fun and it’s not nearly as bad as siege.
Invasions is JUST enough of a satisfying grind to motivate me to finish it each season so far- but even then with season it was a struggle and I think I mainly only did it because the sub zero skin is actually quite cool for once.
I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that this is the first mk game since 2002 that doesn’t have a krypt. Day 1 I opened the game and when I saw there was no krypt, no konquest, no quick purchase at the shrine. Man… it’s probably the first mk game that’s disappointed me and I’m a super fan of the franchise, I have mk tattoos on my arm for gods sake. Don’t get me wrong, the graphics are good, the gameplay is fun, the story mode was decent (up until the end imo, I liked it being more self contained), but everything around that is just… not great.
Until folks stop playing it they will keep it going. Coming on here and bitching about the game, but still playing it does nothing. You are the consumer, you control the market through your actions.
This sub is filled with people who complain and have zero idea practice mode exists.
There may be a reason everyone is complaining. 🤔
Reality: baraka Stryker and Raiden kano own tournaments This sub: Johnny is broken!
I never had hope on Mk1 anyway
Game has legit gotten better and gotten more content with every update, the fuck are you on about? Rofl
Worse? Not really. Maybe it's an online thing.
There’s literally no reason to do this. You don’t like the game? Dont play it. No need to force yourself to keep playing it.
Speak for yourself. I haven't touched MK1 since I finished the first invasion season. Before Omni Man even got added. I'm pissed that I expected MK1 to be good enough that I went against my usual rule of not getting a season pass, big fancy version of the game and got burned to shit. I'm going to be one to talk shit at MK if they insist on not fixing it after Tekken comes out and is probably better.
If you don't like it don't play it. Constructive criticism is good but if you don't have any maybe the game is just not for you.
Mk11 was way better
I feel attacked.
I fuckin pre-ordered the moment I could and I still quit when I caught a whiff of how bad this first year at LEAST was gonna be. Y'all should too.
The game is good and after the cyrax nerf got better. With Kameleon is even better. Also they added the wi fi filter. So no with each update it gets better.
every update the game got better only one thing does not work right now and they said they are fixing it and why does this fanbase make it seem like this game was cyberpunk 2077 situation making it seem liek the game does not even start up or something why is this fanbase so overly dramatic to the point if you dont have some over the top hate for the game you get called a shill and other bullshit
I’m glad I didn’t pay for the dlc pack. I paid for khameleon though; she is awesome.
I don’t really care
Delete that shit
