MK1 is dead, and it's a good thing.

Now NRS needs to die with the game, because clearly every MK game is just gonna get worse.

Should NRS be blamed or AT&T, the company which bought Warner Bros? NRS has proven that they can make games that consumers want. The problem is clearly the interference.

Did consumers want this ?
I think we all just wanted a better MK11

I really hope that with the next MK that they are working on to go back to basics aka a return to MK9-10 style. By that I do not mean to be exactly like them but to have some of its gameplay elements such as 2 bar breaker and 3 bar X Ray and to be as easy to play as MK1 but not that slow

I thi k they should go back to their roots and start doing daring things like they used to. Would also help if they stopped the multiverse crap and stop uglyfying their characters for the sake of "MuH ReAlIsM"

The severe backlash this game has received from consumers will motivate the devs to actually try making a game that the majority of people enjoy. They can't prey on the hype of fans a second time, and if they don't learn their lesson then they'll lose their jobs

Will say I don't hate this game like others do but this one did lose developer and franchise confidence with me for a variety of reasons and I'm going to be much more cautious with their next entry or if they do drop a year 2 KP(Since the rumor that is probably true is just year 3 dlc).

Mk11 has more in-game players. 😂

You should update your vocabulary. MK1 is nowhere near a "dead game". I guarantee that even 1 year later clowns like bald unemployed hater from YouTube and Real MK "This is the last MK1 video where i talk in circles about the same thing" Tom Brady will cry that "MK1 is dead" lmao.

"Better MK11" where everything was designed around the most braindead, boring and scrubby playstyle. Ambush kameos are less cancerous than MK11's core mechanics. I'm not surprised that Johnny, Smoke and Sub mains want MK1 back :D

Fact is , it failed towards MK11 and likely shareholder projections. It only sold 4 Million copies while MK11 sold over 15 million. That is what NRS gets for pushing monetization schemes rather than focusing on the things that matter. Also, it should be obvious that people are sick and tired of the multidimensional chimpout at this point, yet NRS is appearantly too creatively bankrupt to think of something else.

Ed Boon himself not went radio silent and hides in bluesky now, so he doesn't face the critism on X.

On that front I think most players will agree. NRS isn't going to see another 3 million sales in the first three months again even if the game is excellent and especially under WB's current supervision

Yes, compare sales after 4 years (MK11) to 1 year (MK1). No wonder MK1 haters couldnt handle resource management with that kind of brain activity lmao.

In 4 years it won't sell as much as MK11 did unless they revamp the game

It's annoying, they gave us a rerelease for the first 3 games but not the 3D era (MK Gold-Armageddon).

Then, take it ALL the way back....no X rays, no combo breakers, just jump and jump attacks, high punch, high kick, low punch, low kick, foot sweep, spin kick, uppercut, throws, and power moves, and fatalities.
