Story mode (Chapter 1) impressions **Spoilers**

[Yellow Ledbetter]

I think QTE will just make the game more interactible, they are focusing a lot on being closer to a movie, so, to make us not frozen in front of the screen just watching and waiting for the fight, they make that sometimes.

And notice that failing one triggers a different one, but does not affect the story outcome, just the QTE itself.

 

[Last_Starfighta]

So... If the butthurt about QTE don't show up. I'm gonna be seriously disappointed in gamer's consistency in being pissed about things.

Note: I don't care about QTE They don't make me rage, but I don't find them necessarily fun either.

But plenty of games I've liked that were talked of as garbage just because it had QTE. I have a feeling that consistency stance won't hold.

The campaign could be a f#%king turn based RPG for all I care. At the end of the day, it's all about PvP anyway.

 

[Earth Kueike]

That is a very good point! Shinnok's MK4 portion may be quick in MKX but maybe he is yet to release his wrath on everyone 20 some years down the road. I'm very excited to see Raiden and Shinnok's conversation. Now I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to MK lore but correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't Shinnok Raiden's father?

Only on the garbage 2nd movie. It is non-cannon

I wonder if can unlock MK9 Scorpion and zombie everyone who's playable.

I was saying the same thing.
I saw Scorp's MK9 outfit in gameplay and my first thought was 'Can I get this in-game?'
For the zombies? Ehh..I'm sure everyone has the zombie form in the TYL tower minigames.

A side scroller beat-em-up like Tekken Force wouldn't be bad...

The QTE's do nothing but affect your health for the upcoming fight.
If you're good enough at the game, then you could lose every single QTE and still beat the story.

I heard that Scorpion's MK9 costume was supposedly unlockable via the MKX mobile app.

No, only his Injustice one.

 

[BBBLP]

It'll be great to see his Injustice costume with regular sized models. Scorpion was one of the smallest characters in Injustice.

The story mode seems amazing, but i hated today's stream... Boring as hell

Honestly, I think it would. It would make the story corny if you spent half of the time beating up goons.

QTEs are one of those mechanics that started out good but became lame due to oversaturation. There are better ways to make cutscenes more engaging. Look at Mass Effect: the paragon/renegade prompted interruption mechanic allows you to choose how the sequence will play out. Good, bad, indifferent; it's up to you. Way more immersive than mashing the triangle button, IMO.

 

[Grandmaster Sub Zero]

I loved the story in sites they gave us today in stream

 

[ujustgotcaged]

I'm really glad the QTE don't effect the story .that would suck.we wouldn't have a canon ending..why wouldn't people want a canon ending?anyway im excited about this .Im glad I got to see my boy today though.show us some more alternates damn.


"Hereeeee's JOHNNY!!!!"

I honestly thought Johnny and Sonya would only be relevant to story, but regardless I think they look great!

I respectfully disagree, with the amount of random NPCs they killed for no reason... And MKM has a few diehards left so why not?

But it's not my game so...

Agree to disagree, I guess.

So, how do you guys feels about Johnny Cage being able to defeat both Sub-Zero and Scorpion? Think it's cool or lame? What say you?

 

[ujustgotcaged]

well maybe he started taking things more seriously .cyrax,Ermac and JAX whooped his ass in mk9.thats still my boy though .and as a fan I like it...and it's been a while since the events of mk9 people get stronger and smarter .I admit that my opinion is biased ..but it's more balanced than any comment Youre going to get from someone who hates his character .

Johnny Cage solo'd Shinnok in the old timeline. Dude is pretty powerful.

Sub-Zero defeated Fujin, Quan Chi and Shinnok in Mythologies. Doesn't that count for anything?
