MK11 still suffers issues like MKX did in story/gameplay. MK9 is still best MK game.

MK11 story mode once again is trying to be WAY to serious and WAY to many boring gun shootings cutscenes that are filler for its short story. Its not fun nor exciting nor any kind of humor like MK9 was which had good mix of humor, fun story telling and exciting. MK11 story main villan which is in the trailers is awful, dull, no personality and she looks like a creepy bald baby lol.

Ed Boon once again are trying to make the woman characters look ALL SERIOUS by putting them in boring grey body suits, or make them dress like MEN ( Sonya, Jackie, Cassie Cage, etc). Its so BAD that ED Boon wants his baby MK game to appeal to fighting competitions like EVO or watever and he forgot how to have FUN with these MK games . How about putting these woman characters in COOL, FUN, Sexy ninja costumes or just have fun look to them like Deception or MK9. ??

Sonya Blade in MK11 is NOT Sonya shes BUTCH man Ronda Rousey with that man body put on sonya. She looks and sounds Exactly like Ronda. Did Ronda even try to sound like Sonya blade cuz she failed badly. Sonyas face is SO ugly in this game and worse than MK10.

The biggest issue with MK11 like MK10 is character variations. Why do we have this and why not just give us everything like in MK9, Deception etc where we can do all the moves and special moves that we want . Why are we handicapped to 3 varations I nstead of just 1 in All?. Stupid decision Ed boon has made and cripples the gameplay of MK11.

I miss MK games where fun was king and now just caters toward tournament players and being all serious and boring .agree or disagree?

It ended slavery.

@uninspiredcup: LMAO!

Wait, Mortal Combat has a story mode? I thought it was just an arcade fighter.

I was worried this game would be more like MKX than MK9.

Man, MK9 was awesome. What happened?

Fighting games do story mode. Cutscene-45 second fight-cutscene. Repeat.

Most fighting games have a story-mode now.

I thought MK II was agreed to be the definitive title.

None of the original MK games are good.

Go back and play them, they are bad.

@uninspiredcup: The use of digitized real actors was pretty charming though.

It was. But it was basically that and naughty blood that sold the game.

When you compare it to Japanese games at the time, those can still easily be played now and hold up. At least in MP, almost all of these games had cheap ass AI.

@uninspiredcup: true enough.

Ronda Rousey is possibly the worst voice actress ever.

I’m glad I skipped it then. I also skipped MKX.

MK9 was the best and until they go back to what made it great I’ll keep on skipping MK games. Blood and gore is nice but it’s not the reason I play MK games, over the top blood and gore is a gimmick in this new MK11 from what I can see. The game lacks a soul.

I really enjoyed Mortal Kombat X story mode so I’ll probably really enjoy it in this game as well.

After everything is said and done and the game has been out awhile...

I basically agreen, darn, ah well.

I'm pretty sure even yesterday I wanted to believe otherwise... they made an effort of some kind but 9 is indeed still superior.

Disagree, watched the 3hr cutscenes on YouTube and it's better than some animated video game movies I've seen. It's surprisingly good. I'd say better than a lot fo video game stories I've seen.

no need to qualify with the term "original". None of the Mortal Kombat games are good, they are bad.

@jg4xchamp: Why are they all bad?

I'm still bemused as to the point of a stance-button. It's used for a roll move on wake-up, but there is absolutely no reason in the world it couldn't have doubled up on another button like the other wake-up options.

Not really sure either why instead of a block button they could have just done... hold back? Seems like it would easily work with these mechanics.

But then I don't play this series. Maybe there is some high level justification for clunkiness.

My biggest issue is the insane grind with MK11 and the ridiculous bosses difficulty in towers of time WB is on the EA level of greed. Not a fan of Rousey as Sonya it kills the immersion rather have a unknown actress I do like the story though I think it's one of the best as for gameplay I still prefer MK9.

@uninspiredcup: no, 2 is awesome and fun to this day. I think 9 is overrated. X and 11 are better games. 9s story is a complete retelling of the old games so of course it's going to have its appeal.

Haha yea, I thought it was just "woman bad" hyperbole from salty manchildren, but holy fucking shit is she terrible.

About 30- 60mins ago I just literally finished watching MK 11 story mode on YouTube. About a week or 2 ago I watched MK 10's. From what I've seen, why call it Mortal Kombat? Also, a lot of these new characters suck (from a story perspective). Especially Cassie Cage and Jaqui Briggs.

True. When I think of the original (3) games it's horror a game with fighting, basically. MK11 felt like it was trying to ape Marvel movies. Wasn't really, any horror elements.

@uninspiredcup: "True. When I think of the original (3) games it's horror a game with fighting, basically."

lol, what made them seem horror?

"MK11 felt like it was trying to ape Marvel movies."

It did seem like that

The lack of punish system this game is really starting to piss me off. People can basically just dial-a-combo and get huge 7-10 hit combo mix-ups with no warning misleading telegraphed attack, where the animation is mid but looks like high and mid looks like low, that are almost impossible to follow.

Even by the grace of gawd you somehow manage to block all that shit, you typically can't fucking punish as they are higher pushed back, beat your frames or you combo starts with with high and will simply whiff. Basically it's turning into who can spam down-2 upper-cuts, it's so fucking prioritized in this game its ridiculous.
