1.Disney are not that different from WB lmao STOP. My logic is perfectly sound. I already explained why. If you just want to ignore that for the sake of your narrative than that's on you.
2. I never said merging a company wasn't WB sustaining themselves by merging with Paramount so ''what the fuck are you talking about?'' I said in plain English that merging with a company and being bought out by one are not the same thing. That was me responding to your doom mongering of WB.
3. You're just arguing just for the sake of it at this point and typing novels of text rambling about mobile and having conversations with yourself about Diablo and 100 dallor DLC? What has that got to do with what I was talking about?
4. Yes WB are in financial pickle because they put too many eggs in the wrong baskets. My point was Disney does the same thing but because they have more ESG money to spend. It gives them a pillow to soften the blow. These things are only temporary though and just because one company has more money than another doesn't mean they can continue to fuck up and expect to survive.
lastly GTFO YES you do have a massive hate boner for WB so stop pretending you don't lol. Anytime WB has anything reported in a bad light you're the first one here to post it.

1. Once again doesn't explain why are you bringing Disney into this. Like at all.
2. My "doom mongering" was showing that WB is in bad situation. I have multiple times said, that corporations don't die like your normal private companies. How many times do I have to repeat that. Actually this is the last time. Cause this is turning into a waste of time.
3. I brought up Mobile/DLC/Diablo as a counter argument to your statement that Corporations will survive as long as IP's have value and investors exist. As I plainly wrote there. It ain't investors, but consumers who keep these corporations running. Maybe I hit the nerve with that statement, cause every time I bring up this point, people who buy their stuff get VERY DEFENSIVE. And again. Funny you say that. You're the one who brought Disney into conversation for some reason, when I was only talking about WB. So... a bit of hypocrisy here?
4. You just said what I just said... so make up your mind. Disney has more money to fuck up, Yeah... like what I have been saying for the past... dunno 10 posts now? That's what I was literally saying entire time. Disney is massive. They can fuck up more times, than WB, before they get to start worrying about going bankrupt or thinking of merging with someone else.
Also... hah. "You only post negative stuff". Oh is there something positive to post? You sound like one of those people complaining that nobody has anything to say positive about MK1.
If there was something positive to post, I would.
If MK1 came out fully working, with all the features and worth its price. I would point it out. If WB did something positive I would also point it out. Which I also did in the past, when Zaslav took over and started by doing the first sensible thing. Cutting off the useless fat. I praised that. Apparently you have conveniently missed that. If there was ANYTHING positive, I would post it. Alas there is nothing positive, unless I start pretending that everything is fine.
WB is on fire. MK1 sucks ass. And it ain't even just my opinion. Sales show that. The fact that they are selling it at 50% barely 3 months after the launch is saying a lot. So please, m'lord. Tell me where is that mystical positive shit I am supposed to post. Please do show.

Web forums overall are a dying thing. Most people use Discord or Reddit to chat about stuff.

The main website hasn't been updated in years. So most people assume that the forums are dead.

1. Yes it does and as i predicted you just ignored it. That's a you problem go back and read my original post. If you're too lazy to do that than I don't know what to tell you.
2. That's still doom mongering though and you're obviously foaming at the mouth about it so it doesn't disprove what I said.
3. This Isn't rocket science guy.....Investors are the ones who fund the publishers to make games, movies ect based on the IPs that the publisher WB owns. That can't just make whatever they want. They have to own the IP. Publishers are like a glorified pimp using their IPs to get funding from investors. The publisher than takes that money pays the developer, studio, whoever to make the thing. The publisher WB than mass distributes said product. Than and only than do consumers enter the conversation. If the sales of said product doesn't make back what the publisher projected to investors over said sales period than that IP could be shelved. The jury still out on wether MK1 is a financial flop due to the fact that their still working on it and adding DLC. Most people here know how NRS work and just wait on the Komplete edition anyway. Again it too early to know the games only three months old. These live service type games always trickle out their content anyway. I'm not a fan of it but it is what it is. Quan chi just got released and with a balance patch. I don't have any of the DLC but from what I gather he's pretty fun to play. I'm just happy we got a wifi filter finally!
4. My point was and still is that Disney and WB share a lot of the same corporate DNA and you claimed they are totally different before but now you're just repeating what I already said so "make up your mind'' are they or aren't they?
Lastly there you go with the doom mongering again.....WB Isn't on fire lol MK1 has It's problems sure but It's far from trash IMO but I get the people who criticise the lack of single player content but I'm still enjoying the game despite these issues. I only payed the base price though so I'm not losing my mind about it unlike some people. I've said this time and time again that people need to show some restraint with these AAA games and just wait on a Komplete edition sale. If you refuse to do so and payed 100/110 bucks just to play the game early than you have no right to complain about lack of content IMO. It's shit like that is the reason we ended up with unfinished games as a norm in the first place. It's funny how you talk about consumers being the ones who keep giant corporations going when it's the consumers going ''Here's 110 bucks let me play your unfinished broken game PLZ!'' This is what the gaming industry is now. Gamers created it yet people still want to bitch about it. The rest of us just have to deal with it or just play old games till we die. I'm enjoying MK1 so that's all that matters to me. I have better things to do than cry about AAA games all day so enjoy your misery. Most of you didn't buy the game anyway yet here you are on dead forum for some reason. It is truly sad what this place has become.

Before you lash out, I have no skin in this (barely) online forum fight between you two. I just like seeing WokeBros burn.

Essentially this, for me.
I think that the last MK game that I bought that was any special edition was MK9.
Got the base game only, too, and that was mainly because I DID say that if this game had more post-MK3 characters than MKX that I would get it.
Sure, Invasion mode feels like a chore and I can blow through the Season 3 Shrine with about 73k of my otherwise useless 1.9 million gold koins.
That said (as I've said before), MK1 is fun as hell as far as the actual core gameplay goes.

For me MK9 is top. With some help, I recently figured out how to change framedata for characters. Jade is officially S++ tier OP broken now. 50% meterless combos, need to tone it down a bit
But damn that NRS programmer guy from long ago wasn't kidding.... MK9 coding wise is a fucking mess. Now obviously that much is apparent if you spend some time just playing the game... But when you actually see nonsense like 1.261169 float value which controls the duration of a move, and change that to 1.26117..... It somehow makes the move duration basically infinite, and reverting back to that value doesn't undo it. I have no words.... Ed Boon programming.
Then it's MKD, UMK3, MKSM, MKDA, MKA, MK2, MK1(not 12), MKX, MK4. Couldn't care less about MK11, MK1, vsDC or SF.
MKvsDC or MKvsDCU is not an MK game. It's a versus game like Marvel VS Capcom or Capcom VS SNK. Nobody considers those as part of the main Street Fighter games. MKvsDC might as well be a part of the Injustice games like being Injustice Zero.

While people in the fanbase don't like to count it, NRS / WB DOES technically count is as being part of the mainline games, which is why the order of the mainline MK games goes...........
MK1, MKII, MK3 (and its updates), MK4 (and GOLD), Deadly Alliance, Deception, Armageddon, MKvsDC (aka MK8), MK9, MKX and MK11.
Again, people may not like it, but up until now with the new MK1 reboot Midway / NetherRealm / WB counted all of those as being in sequential order.

Its funny because they did everything they could to not call it MK9 in the marketing. In interviews they would always just say Mortal Kombat 2011. Even when X came out they tried to say "No this is MKX, not MK10". It was funny to see them eventually give up lol

Rest in Pepperoni. But I love how the dorks at NRS rolled out a desync "fix" patch, that weighs 91 GB total.... on the same day as Tekken is released. It's just embarrassing at this point.
Think it's safe to say that unless they go back to the drawing board, MK is screwed.

I'll jump back in from time to time when someone like kameo Khameleon that comes out, but otherwise, unless I'm leveling up a future DLC character like Takeda, kameo Ferra or kameo Mavado I may skip most of Season 4 (and beyond) of Invasions mode.
Invasion mode is the same un-fun shit, unfortunately, and I never cared for Mileena. Meh.
The only thing it has become any good for is leveling up to get Fatalities and Brutalities for DLC characters that should honestly be unlocked from the get-go (like with MKX).
The ONLY DLC that I actually bought post-launch was Quan Chi for $8, but so far all of the DLC kameos have been free for me thanks to MS rewards.
If I keep this up with rewards then Quan Chi and Takeda will be the only characters I would have bought when all of KP1 is said and done.
Unless another Aftermath type of expansion comes along with stages and Stage Fatalities, I'm not really playing this game as much as I used to and I'm VERY glad I didn't get the Premium Edition.
