Mortal Kombat 11 General Discussion Media Thread

Don't care about certain klassic Fatalities being passed off as "Brutalities," but some of these Brutalities look much better than the Fatalities that have been revealed so far.

This reminds me of MK9 so much...Good stuff.

As a Raiden player, in MKX I ALWAYS try a Brutality. His brutalities are great, his fatalities as said before are usually very bad.

The ones in this game seem to be great as well, I'm very pleased!

Now, another thing for story: have you guys noticed what Raiden says after the brutality?

In MKX he was usually "do not provoke a god!", but here he said "Find peace in death". Raiden would NEVER say this,not even first timeline Dark Raiden, this absolutely Dark Raiden corrupted by Shinnok.

This may be what they were talking about in story prologue: this may be the truth of death. I wonder why death would have cast him out of Heaven. But this also makes me wonder that Raiden is surely gonna kill everybody he thinks he must.

Purists like me are good for the kommunity, not bad for it. Are you trying to say that you hate people who think the SNES port of MK1 is not a true Mortal Kombat game on the account of not having blood and literally changing "Fatality" to "Finishing Bonus"?

Eh. Purists are a slippery slope if anything.

Lots of purists demand to keep games the same way, no drastic changes to be made, no experimenting, they start telling other people what is canon and non canon or what should be put in the game or not. They pretty much start speaking for the devs and demand some sort of recognition. It tends to become pretty hard to engage with them, as they are pretty much one side street. "ONLY THIS WAY AND NO OTHER WAY".

If it has no blood, it's not a true Mortal Kombat game.
If it has no Fatalities, it's not a true Mortal Kombat game.
If it has no Scorpion and no Sub-Zero, it's not a true Mortal Kombat game.
If it has guest characters, it's not a true Mortal Kombat game.

One thing I DO want to change is the 2 per character limit on Fatalities to be lifted. I've wanted 3 per character across the board since at least the years between MK4 and MKDA.

YES! Couldn't have said it better.
I'm a hardcore fan in the sense that I will always buy Mortal Kombat because of it being "Mortal Kombat," but I also never understood the whole "purist" mentality of how requesting the same characters game after game makes anyone more high and mighty than others.

So, according to you we haven't had a real Mortal Kombat game since Armageddon?
Ok :laugh:
 
I think we can profit from both views.

People like TT keep the game from losing its roots, and people like you both support the idea that we must change.

And I guess MK has in heavy weight both of the sides, since it's a game that is always looking to build its story and charactars, most of them klassics, and is always up to change.

If people like TT do not speak, we would have like he said the other day, 98 guests and Scorp, Raiden and Sub. If we don't have people that want to change, we will basically go SF for a long time.

Look at MK9/MKX/MK11: almost any aspect you compare they did on a different take. Art, gameplay, special moves, story, roster, DLC, strategy, etc.

Guest characters are so poisonous to Mortal Kombat that their mere presence alone should disqualify a game from being a Mortal Kombat game.

So, you'll skip out on MK11 entirely when they undoubtedly announce guest characters?

Commander, you have a very different syndrome, the I hate/don't care for every Mortal Kombat 1, 2 and 3 character... That is also a very annoying syndrome.

Nah, I have the "I don't care to see the same shit game after game" issue which is very different from your horse blinders / nostalgia syndrome. :bandit:

Guest characters get the Smoke Doll Toy Factory Accident treatment from me; I simply will treat them like they don't exist.

As for "I don't care to see the same shit game after game", there is certain "same shit" that is expected to stay in Mortal Kombat "game after game" no matter what, and that shit should be off limits to "sitting this one out" under all circumstances.

If you ever paid attention to any of my previous posts, then you'd know that I'm open to change and have even previously said that "if NRS could change my mind about Kenshi and Tanya, then they could change my mind about just any 3D character."
I've also previously said that I know that certain characters are characters that NRS will put in to sell a game, as well as how not all 27 Trilogy characters should be in the game, and that some of the previously dead ones can be swapped in and out for others.
I specifically take issue with everyone wanting MK11 to be another MKT, because that means a less likely chance that characters like Fujin and havik would make the cut, but you've completely ignored those said posts in the past and also decided to paint me with a broad brush.

You're the one who said that any MK game with guests isn't a true MK game, so I was just wondering if you plan to buy an MK game that according to you "isn't a real MK game."

I also don't buy guests, but all of the last 3 games that come out are still MK games and I still enjoy them, regardless.

Sure.
2 Fatalities per character and certain klassic characters that are obvious like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Liu Kang and Raiden.
The difference that the same shit that you want to see game after game includes the same klassic skins, same klassic Fatalities and same stages.
Whereas I like seeing new finishers, skins and Fatalities and don't care to have 18 klassic Fatalities in 1 game like MKX did.

It'd be cool if we had classic Brutalities too. Sometimes I just want to maximum destroy someone.

I like both change and nostalgica, so a very mixed roster is what I desire, if they take MK1, 2 or 3 characters out of the game though, I mostly hope they are the human characters, but that mostly doesn't happen, which makes me kinda grumpy. I want a colorful, different-feeling roster, with lots of races/monstrous creatures in it, and as little Special Forces Cancer as possible.

So what human characters are you talking? Only Earthrealmers or others? Because if you take most human characters, like in general when it comes to realms, and just keep monstruous ones, I'm sorry, you are not wanting MK, because that hasn't been the game's identity since day zero.
 
Just a small double posting for quoting reasons:

can someone clarify what does the Premium edition has? I mean, it does include Kombat Pack, but what about anything that goes in the future? Are they included?

Last time I pre ordered base game only, so I'm not sure what rights does it give to buy Premium aside from KP, if there are any more.

You're funny.

They haven't taken any of our feedback (aside gameplay data) since forever. I remember some people going as far as claiming that the only reason why MK lost sexy aspect, was because of negative feedback from MK9. That is a complete bullshit. MK9 was the last game before the SJW era began.

If they decide to take their roots out, they will do it and they won't care what I, or Tarkatan or anyone else have to say. And not because NRS would want to do that, but because their masters at WB say so.

Guest characters will come regardless if we want or not. Not just to get extra cash, but they also use them to market the movies, etc (I think at this point everyone knows that).

While I would be kiiindaish (and even then big MAYBE) ok with Spawn being in the game, I think I will take Tarkatan's Trash side and say f%ck all these movie guest chars.

The only guest chars, I would be ok with, would be if it was a char from another fighting game. Like Killer Instinct... or... sigh I know it won't happen, but I can dream. Street Fighter as well. That's the only guest chars I approve. Cause they would come from the same genre. Same home field. That would be like a neighbor visiting your place. That's fine in my books.
 
To be honest I think they should just finally for once give humans the means of entending their own lifespan. Bloody hell, we in real world it seems made more advancements in that area than most of the sci fi, fantasy stories.
