Mortal Kombat 1 General Discussion Media Thread

Since most everyone has seen the story movie for this already. Does it seem like that this Mortal Kombat game is the final Mortal Kombat game to be made. Curtain call on the Mortal Kombat lore full circle type of stuff? Mortal Kombat over 30 years ago was about Shang Tsung and Liu Kang. Mortal Kombat 1 is once again about Liu Kang and Shang Tsung. Reminds me of Flash and Reverse Flash dynamic. Also, this opens timelines and characters from other fighting games being able to join the Mortal Kombat lore and so forth. In one timeline, Vega mastered ultra instinct psycho power only trying to conquer existence itself!!!

EDIT
Know someone will make the cybers playable through a hack. There is a LK-7T2

Nope they had a potential dlc or sequel bait at the end
 
Dude Invasions is insanely slow paced. Its brutal as fuck because every single, EVERY SINGLE, fight in Invasions has super armored opponents. Also when you die in a tower, you start from the beginning.
Not from what I was shown. The enemies can be cheesed. Obvious slow grind though. No indications of how to open any of the unlockables. A lot of RNG too. Basically. No different from MK11.

Every part of the game is designed with simple mentality "Just turn off your brain and enjoy"

But eh, people like that, so whom am I to judge people's preferences? If people find this enjoyable, then more power to them.

I beat it this morning. This mode sucks an infinite amount of ass. I just maxed out Shang's Special stat and spammed triple skulls every single fight. It was far and away the fastest way to beat every fight. The grind in this shit is brutal. Idk if I can do this again next season. There's gonna need to be a simply god tier costume for me to do it.
 
I'm gonna copy this from TYM

I just beat it this morning. God awful grind the entire way through. Its baffling how somebody at NRS can sit down and think that every enemy in the entire mode should have hyper armor, invincible hyper armor. I can't see how anyone found that fun.

I just wanna rant about random shit I guess:

They lead you on early, having you think there's gonna be fun little commentary around each map. There isn't. Liu Kang only shows up on the map's final boss to say some shit like "Scorpion brought in Johnny Cage to stop you!"

The inventory space. By like the 2nd map, you're gonna be maxed out on Talismans, and the game just keeps on giving them to you every other fight. I'm constantly having to go into my inventory and toss them out because no, Reiko, I would not like another level 1 Ice Armor talisman.

They tricked us early on with the footage of Invasions and the Survival missions (where you dodge the fireballs). It looked like it was going to be a callback to MK9 where they had the weird minigames sprinkled throughout the Challenge Tower. No. That is the one, and the only one minigame throughout Invasions. And it does not change. You jump over low projectiles, you crouch under high ones. The patterns never change, the timing never changes.

There is no map. This honestly might be one of the most annoying parts of it. There are little lights on each space that show you if there are uncleared missions in that direction, but beyond that nothing at all. If you missed a chest because you didn't have a key and you're trying to find it again. Good luck, because these areas are mazes. You move slow, and can also be ambushed just adding more to the time sink.

The enemy reuse. Every map in Invasions has a set cast of characters you're going to fight, for the entire time. They aren't random, its always the same. So like in say Sun Do you're gonna be fighting Havik, Reiko, Sub Zero and a handful of others. Over and over, pay attention to how many times you see "Chaosmaker" Havik, because I swear to god I feel like I fought him 20 times in one of the maps.

Talismans are nearly useless, and need to be "recharged".

There are about a 10th of the amount of modifiers MK11 had on launch. The vast majority of them are "Orb comes out of portal" or "toxic cloud"

The XP, oh my god the XP. I used Shang Tsung and Sektor for almost the entire run. 243 fights, about 100 brutalities, around 70 fatalities. And somehow my Sektor is at level 10. They also flat out stop giving you anything at all for Profile Levelups after a while. No currency, nothing. Saving them instead for the larger milestones.

Idk what else, this mode sucks and I hope they drastically reduce the grind for the next season.

Well... what can I say...
That 70 bucks price tag is definitely wor... oh wait. Everyone who are playing this game right now bought Premium Edition, so that will be 100 bucks...

Well at least fighting is fun, right? Definitely a game worth its standard price tag.
But eh. No worries. MK1 will add more modes and more content throughout the year. Because that's what NRS is known for. Active support with banger content and communication with the community.

Also Kombat Pack will be coming with 2 MK characters and 3 superhero characters, to promote their shows! So you get some bloody Injustice gameplay as well!

BBBLP you once asked me if I am ever happy.

Well watching this dumpster fire and people making excuses about the price tag for this "content" in this soulless corporate garbage has been hella amusing. I haven't laughed so hard in a while. Thanks, mate.

One of the few things I complemented MK1 for and it turned out to be a lie as well. And I just remembered that Invasions was called "Bigger and better", when compared to Krypt and Konquest. Oh boy...

So ok. Let's say you're aren't a hardcore MK player and you decided to pay 70 bucks. What do you get? Story mode, that you beat and forget by the next week, with nothing to chew on and then... Invasions mode... which once you beat... wait for the next season?

So I guess... see you guys until next Kombad Pack?
 
@BBBLP you can eat a bag of dicks I I don't want you to read you bitching one fucking word. You have no place to talk shit you handed WB and NRS your mom's money you boot licking no standards having 🤡. Have some self control next time Mark.

ParaTrooper11B2P on PS5 you can check my profile. I refused to give them a dime. No MK1 on my shit. So I'm not a hypocrite. And I was right. Jackass. 😂

Invasions mode sucks, the actual game itself is fun tho. So we can share this bag of dicks if you'd like
 
Nah man I'm good. We don't share the same taste. And my Girl keeps me fed . And I have a super fight on Saturday. 🤙 see I spend my free time wisely. Have fun waiting for season 2 of invasions. Good luck in Kombat league 😂🤡

Your girlfriend feeds you dick? Thats whats up dude, its 2023, live your truth
 
Hard agree the story was super fun.I just couldn't stop watching it,which is definitely not something I could say for the previous 3 story modes.It is definitely to its benefit that it didn't take it as seriously this time,that Damashi reference made me laugh into tears lol.Watched on youtube,not gonna buy the game until the version with all DLC comes out,and the story actually solidified that,its absurd that Shang Tsung and Quan Chi aren't base roster.
 
Nah fuck that this fucking clown been trying to talk shit since I aired my grievances about this game since jump. Now this bitch wants to talk shit and complain. Fuck that noise. @BBBLP shut the fuck up sit the fuck down and enjoy your 120 dollar trash ass ride. No complaints jackass. Eat it bitch. Own it bitch. The game is trash and waste of money bitch. Say it with me bitch.
You groveling little boot licking shrill. You deserve this game.

God DAMN you're a spicy boy! All this energy over a video game, it's beautiful. Idk why you're even talking about fighting, I could just buy a pack of Dragon Krystals and the aneurysm you'd have would take you out before you could even bite my dick off or whatever it is that you said.
 
One of the intros (with Reptile) confirms what many people anticipated - Havik is officially Dairou.

In story mode he is just shitty jobber with emo hairstyle who shares bio with Darrius and figths for freedom for Orderrealmer.

True Havik will be that one from ending / expansion pack, he just want to spread bloodlust and mayhem throughout the realms but this time Kabal, Kira and Kobra are replaced by Kenshi Jin, Kitanya and Quan-Zero.

We got DLC leaks with the data mining

Spoiler:

Cassie Cage
Kung Jin
Jade
Cyrax
Noob
Possibly Sareena (Omniman called refer to her as Damien Darkblood's girlfriend)
Ghostface
Maybe to Conan, Kotal, or someone else.
 
Spoiler:
Having Cyrax and possibly Sareena is nice. However, the other KP2 characters were already on the base roster in MK11. Feels like a waste.

Dope tech I found. If you Motaro teleport during Geras' bf1, you get a free time stop stun. Since making this gif I tested it further and you can cancel it before Geras even goes to the other side, giving you even more time to hit them. It becomes a full on free EX bf1
