Thoughts on Kameos now?

[Mark]

I feel like its too hard to get used to all the variety of kameos and characters and how they can all combo differently and have to adjust constantly online as well as the long combos which just seem too overpowered with certain characters.

At first i was not that sold on them but after a while they're basically just universal variations which is pretty nice, you can pick a kameo that fills in a gap for your character like adding mixups or you can double down on increasing your combo potential, the more i play the more they grow on me, but it def takes a while to adjust to them.

this game WAS injustice 3. the pseudo "tag" kameo were for villian and hero teams and air combos was inspired from MvC.

it doesnt fit MK, and this game has things that were only in injustice games like the pause when you K.O. someone and other things

Any source confirming this ? or another " trust me bro "

I Hate the cameo feature. If They implemented a NON cameo game mode I would play it exclusively. Infact I have a hunch the majority of players would play that mode and n ever touch cameos again except for the minority of players that abuse them for 40+ combos

I like kameos but some of them are overpowered when paired with certain characters.

Agreed. I think they should nerf kameos in all honesty. Don't buff any just nerf the good ones(Sareena, Cyrax, etc). No kameo should also be allowed to extend a combo twice either...

You can tell they rushed this game without enough testing. To play for fun is to REALLY hurt yourself in this iteration of MK and it is so painfully apparent cause all the good stuff can kill you in two combos.

I feel like they had an amazing opportunity with Kameos to make every game feel fun and unique but instead they created a ♥♥♥♥ show of OP bs.

I don't like how much real estate the kameo's tend to take up which ends up making a lot of the main fighters movesets feel very basic. Suddenly Johnny doesn't have any projectiles or the somersault kick. Scorpion straight up is useless without depending on Kameos. It feels like a halfway to a tag team match but not quite. Would have been nice if there was an option where you can fight one vs one without the kameo.

[Can...you...help]

they could be good, but right now they just here to cover your weakness, let's be real the real best kameo is the one that allow you to make an unblockable 50/50 (raiden/jax for example) or that make your character have no weakness (baraka/cyrax for example). i don't think they're healthy for the game right now

awful feature =)

I think the Kameo's are really cool and a good addition to the MK Formula. I just think that they need to actually show what the kameos do as far as their hidden buffs. Minus that, I think they are pretty sweet.

i would say not kameos are problem but the DMG some characters do without spending meter or taking any serious risk, this is stupid a lot of people complain about it and we will probably w8 for patch for like 3 months, it isint that NRS didint know what they are puting in their game...

cameos is one of the best parts of the game. Without it the game is trash.

[Chell Jasper]

At first i loved the idea. Didnt make sense to me till i played the story and was disappointing in the multiverse being shoved in it because everything has to be a multiverse now and im just sick of it. Then i realized there are a good chance the old characters in kameo wont get to become a playable character in DLC...rip frost. Then i get into multiplayer and you realise most people only use Tsareena or Cyrex and i start to question why this mechanic was a thing if only 2 characters are worth using.

Kameos suck. They break certain characters by making all the dumb stuff extremely safe (Kung Lao/Goro for example) and the fact that you can make people take 20% chip damage while being completely safe (johnny/Cyrax, Scorpion/Cyrax, Baraka/Cyrax) is literally too stupid to not have shown up during testing.

I get that NRS tried to do something different, but as it stands now, the Kameos take the fun out of the game for me. So far, I have to say MK1 has been very disappointing gameplay-wise for me. Maybe it's the PC port, but I'll be giving it another week and then I will consider it money wasted. Enjoyed MK11 a lot more tbh.

I would love a non-Kameo mode, but I don't see them implementing it. Imagine the majority of players DON'T want the Kameos, then NRS is made to look really stupid if 85% of players would play the non-Kameo version.
All their work on the Kameo system would be wasted, I dont see them taking that risk, but I would be very curious to see how many people would play without the Kameos.

Cheap, boring, lazy.
Cheap is pretty self explanatory, game is not old but we've all already seen more than our share of people spamming sareena, relying on her to do more damage than the player character or cyrax and his completely balanced, not at all retarded level of chip damage or pressure
Boring can be debatable but what isnt debatable is how bland the playable characters are. leading up to release they talked about "creativity" what they actually meant is spam. The playable characters are more 1 dimensional and have fewer paths to combos than any other mk game to date. Reducing the options of the main characters and by extension the gameplay itself in favour of spamming a bumper to call in a tag assist is not "creative" it is lazy and in my opinion boring. Let's take raiden for example, he literally rinse repeats 1 string but by spamming jax he takes over 50%, zero gameplay, zero braincells, thats "creativity" apparently, and raiden isnt even the worst offender for this
Lazy, same as above really, they have used it as an excuse to mask how little effort went into the roster, no balance whatsoever despite paying competitive players for years to "test" the game throughout its "development". MK11 with a handful of nerfs, a couple of tweaks, implementing crossplay that would be a better fighting game, a better mortal kombat game and a better video game than this, it already has objectively far better graphics and a better foundation for gameplay. It reeks of no effort, just cashing in on the franchise name, if I did not know any better I would swear EA had taken over nrs
