The writing has always been bad in MK games. I agree that Sweet Baby, Inc. is a creativity black hole that leaves nothing but destruction and cringe in its path, but are we seriously going to act like there have ever been any "writers" at NRS??

I mean Jesus Ground Hatting Christ did you see the newest MK movie? There's never been a decent writer in the presence of any MK product ever in the history of the world.

Not to mention that the Story mode is the only thing in the entire product that is actually functional.

Everything wrong with this game is NRS's fault. We need to stop passing the blame to WB and SBI or whoever else you want to blame. It's NRS's fault 100%.

and this is why I didn't want to buy Mortal Kombat 1.

Makes sense. Wish I knew that before. I wouldn't have even got this game gifted. I guess it's a good thing I didn't pay for it. Sweet Baby is cancer and should be boycotted at all costs.

That's not entirely true.

There was a decent writer, the first 1995 Mortal Kombat Movie. It was cheesy at times but fun and good action. No Mortal Kombat movie has topped it yet, at least in my opinion. Even the music was amazing.

Yes it is 100% confirmed on the kiwifarms as well. Lot of games are failing to the same agenda-loaded-inclusion-woke message stuff we have been seeing in Film and TV as well.

Yeah. It's getting pretty ridiculous. The only thing we can do as consumers is stop buying.

Can anyone just brief me on what had Sweet Baby done (or destroy) in its wake?

Why are they notorious? It is gossip time!

found this on reddit "Answer: Sweet Baby is a story-writing company hired to supplement video game studios' writing staff. The idea is a studio can hire them to flesh out a game's script and storyline. The company is transparent about their goals of approaching writing with a focus on representation and marginalized groups.

For a growing number of players this is a dog whistle for the unwanted insertion of political ideologies or other topics they aren't interested in. In other words a distraction from what really matters: making a good game. You can easily find examples of these sorts of people on social media.

Many releases such as Suicide Squad have had Sweet Baby credited as part of the writing staff, and these games have been a major disappointment for many players. A Sweet Baby credit is now being thought of like leprosy and an indicator of games to avoid.

The company has become an easy scapegoat for the growing dissatisfaction with major releases. That same dissatisfaction with major studios has led to the success of games like Baldur's Gate III and Palworld (edit: and now Helldivers II) as players are starting to explore other studios who are taking different approaches to their games."

I see, however we shouldn't put the blame on Sweet Baby since what sucks about this game is not the writing per se. Nevertheless it can be right now used as a validation method to know what to avoid, it is never too late guys.

That's 50% of the Problem with this game.

It's 100%, irrefutably true. MK writing is atrocious. That doesn't mean you can't find something to enjoy. Resident Evil writing is equally atrocious, but I love that series nonetheless.
