Story mode is stupid

[AutismPowers]

It was fun for about 5 fights then you just repeat the same exact thing constantly. then the fact you have to go through this terribly tedious game just to get extra costumes is terrible.

if the enemies weren't tanky to high hell more or less asking you to grind for hours if you want them to not shred your health and get tickled in return I'd like it a lot more.

Just spam Heavy blanka ball, honestly. Basically any enemy crumples to having it get spammed on them except for the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ forced loss at the end of the game. After that you can grind the car destroyer part time job to get all the money you need for gifts.

Yeah, it's kinda dumb and often quite tedious. It does have it's moments though.

I agree. The mode blows. I tried it to get some fight money or credits or whatever this game is using but its not fun at all. The story is bare bones, the mechanics aren't polished (why cant i retry a challenge without having to go through dialogue again), Using a stick to to play is straight up trash. It takes forever to do anything or unlock basics like drive rush, they force all the clothing and nonsense on you. Your stuck using a fighting style you don't like until you unlock one that you do. The fights aren't fun and if you go out of your level you get stomped. I don't see any upsides to playing this game mode unless it gives fight money. Modes stupid as hell.

Costumes tho.

I like it... I'm new to the genre and it's a great way to get into it.
It exposes you to many characters and it allows you to experiment with some moves which is great as it exposes you to a bit of every character while on the fighting ground, I have one character I tend to play with all the time...
The world tour is great for some diversity and makes me feel how other characters will play so it will be easier for me to change to a different character for story mode or ranked...

I can imagine that for veteran players, there isn't really anything new to it so I can understand why it becomes tedious....

I like it better than the online vs stuff, I like anything with a story over pvp or online crap.

I was *just* reading a review[thehivebyte.com] that mentioned how no one plays fighting games for their SP. I can't say I've ever bought a game in this genre for SP.

I've been enjoying World Tour. I will say the rate of progression is pretty bad though.

You're stuck with the same clothing options for a pretty significant chunk of time. There are the initial items that are available at the beginning but you don't have access to any new options until way later not counting the items you find in chests or on enemies.

To me it's pretty insane how you're not unlocking clothing options more quickly given just how many clothing items are in the World Tour mode. You're constantly coming across NPCs and enemies wearing stuff you don't have access to and what have access to until much much later when you've already completed a significant portion of World Tour.

The masters are also spaced out poorly. You can go long stretches without getting a new one but then you can have a situation where you unlock a new master and the first mission that new master gives you is a mission that unlocks another new master.

I would've said if you just wanna unlock the costumes download a trainer, give yourself infinite Zenny then buy a bunch of gifts that you can give to the masters but you gotta play pretty far into World Tour to unlock all the masters.

That's not actually true though. There are many people like yourself that buy them for the competitive aspect but in recent years that's changed, largely if not entirely due to Neatherrealm.

Most fighting games are lucky if they can sell 2 to 4 million copies. Neatherrealm's fighting games can sell around 10 million copies and it's become clear over time that the large majority of those 10 million people aren't buying it for the competitive part of the game but are instead buying it for the story mode or single player content.

When it comes to both Mortal Kombat and Injustice there are millions of people who buy the games. Play through the story once and be done with it as if it were like any other single player game.

As a result of the massive success that Neatherrealm has had with Injustice and MK we've now seen more and more fighting games have not only more single player content but more elaborate story modes. Notably Marvel Infinite, Street Fighter 5 and Tekken 7 all have cutscene heavy story modes because of the success of MK and Injustice.

There's actually an old video from back in 2014 where Ed Boon predicts that the next fighting game franchise to try and story mode like Mortal Kombat or Injustice would be Marvel Vs Capcom or Street Fighter.

What do you expect of a game mode made just to teach woke while milk money on barbie outfits? Woke Tour Mode is tedious and boring, im suffering to play this mode to get the original characters outfit becouse i dont want to pay for something that should be default in this game, also i dont want to give my money to help woke games to become famouns and popular to the point of the game companies feel motivated to keep creating games with this content.

Leave it to someone who can’t spell that calls everything woke.

You're hypocritical buying the game while saying you don't want to give money to woke companies.

Why are you bothering with the game at all given how much you don't like about it?

I've played a little bit of world tour, I'm not in a hurry to finish it right now.
