I just hate the design of the characters.

I mean I understand woke ♥♥♥♥, but seriously they have changed the looks of the characters to worse by far. And what's worse the next installment will probably have again way different characters. they need consistency going forward.

Also, I do like some different approach to some characters, but the overall lore was way better before. Liu Kang is but a shadow of raiden and former self...

But let's see how to story goes forward.

i just saw quan chi in a story for the first time. at first I was like wtf? but after a while, he looks like damn live actor. Shang Tsung looks like a plastic figure while quan chi actually looks like a real human. how and why?

Free weekend player here who played MK11 extremely casually.

I understand what they were going for, but I hate how every male character looks like a regular 20 years old person. They all look too young and their clothes look too normal, except for guest characters. I don't mind plain and young looking character designs, but it's not what I want from Mortal Kombat.

Most female characters look the same to me. No improvement, no downgrade.

That and cameo characters look like cosplayers instead of actual characters. Again, I get what they were going for, but it feels like they haven't accounted for the fact that character designs from 1990 do not necessarily look good at high resolutions outside of cosplaying conventions.

well not to spoil too much, but as you progress to the story, characters take form of a previous self. it is slowly becoming more obvious. most female models are uglier compared to previous self. but also more closer to a live action movie. they are young because of the lore and what liu kang has done with his "reality". i think it's inevitable to return to the place where they were before.

I don't know. I will play it. I love the fight aspect more than I did in MK11. it feels a bit slowed down which was vastly needed. There is a room to learning characters and their moves, it will probably be boring to master them all, but for now I'm playing the story.

the base game is worth purchasing, but if you can wait, till it's like for nothing, than wait. I purchased it from a retail seller online for around €31 for a base game. I won't pay passes until they are long out and discounted.

OP, is the woke in the room with us now?

Kinda funny, in my case I find the opposite to be true. Love most of the redesigns with the exception for Shao.

Just throw a helmet on him that he has similar look of his old self.

Though I personally think all the characters look way better then they were for a long time.

Hell I personally think Kenshi looks badasss in this game. Compare to all the other old versions of him.

Problem is that alot of people that follow games just don't like change of what there use too.

Are there characters on this game I feel look better? Sure... Ok Im not sure what they were thinking with Tanya or Shang Tsung or jax and Sonya just seems odd? Though I feel Shang Tsung just as I thought Jax and Sonya just look better in MK11. But I can see why they changed things up. The characters in the game suppose to be from what I see to be in there mid 20s. So ya of course they don't look old like in there 40s and 50s and so on.

Though this just my opinion. I was showing a friend in town of MK1. And he has a different opinion.

But hey thats fine. To agree to disagree.

Hot takes are getting worse every day. MK1 character design is just good. Not the best ofc, cause UMK 3 exist, but MILES better than MK11's overdesigned garbage with shoulder pads and armour everywhere. Tanya and Shao default designs are bad, thats it. Start thinking with your own brain, you all just repeating bs from youtubers. Thats sad. Also, google what "woke" means. This game is far from woke with Sindel, Nitara and the whole bakery princess Kitana and Mileena.

[Cpt Obvious]

People can't handle realistic models. They must have hentai character design in everything they consume.

[Trapper's doll]

weird, i think the designs especially for male characters is phenomenal, i myself got the game just because of these handsome men such as Bi-Han, Tomas, Shang Tsung etc

[O-Qua Tangin Wann]

Just delete Nitara, Reiko, Kenshi, Peacemaker, Omni Man, and Geras. Then spicy up Schlub Zero, Tanya, and Li Mei and I'd be happy

This guy lol. Not everyone goes based on tubers review of a game. I have my own view on what I thought of the game. And I sure don't need someone on tuber to make up my mind of what I thought of a game.

Though sure we can say a lot of the characters look from MK3 that I can agree with. Just felt a bit more could have been put into the models of the characters.

[Grilled Cheese]

yes I hate the ugly female designs and HYPER REALISTIC DESIGN yet they look less than average looking of all the characters in general

[DJukor]

Irony is the characters do actually kinda look amazing in some of the skins.
The game suffers from the developers wanting you to engage whit the cosmetics and i assume even buy some so they made the base models for the characters bland to encourage cosmetics. Most game developers do this but i think MK1 went to far ahead in this regard. As half the cast looks like generic Martial Artists.
Meanwhile in MK1 a lot of the base models for characters still look amazing.

Most fighters make sure the base models for its cast are still appealing
