MK11 Was Better than this Garbage

[Dev Jonathan]

I find Mortal Kombat 1 to be a disappointing experience compared to Mortal Kombat 11 for several reasons. Firstly, the graphics and animations in MK1 feel outdated and lack the level of detail and realism seen in MK11. The character roster in MK1 is limited, with a lack of diversity and depth in moves and abilities compared to the extensive selection in MK11. The gameplay mechanics in MK1 seem clunky and less refined, making it less enjoyable to play. The storyline and narrative depth in MK11 far surpasses that of MK1, offering a more immersive and engaging experience. Overall, while Mortal Kombat 1 may hold nostalgia value, Mortal Kombat 11 excels in every aspect, making it a superior and more enjoyable fighting game.

It's not just MK either, people will make unfair comparisons with a fighting game at the end of its life vs. a brand new entry. SF4? Hated for a long time because it kept being compared to Third Strike. Seriously, replace MK1 with SF4 and MK11 with Third Strike in OP's post and aside from the last bit about the story, it's near word for word the same complaints. SF4 vs. Third Strike, Blazblue CT vs. GGXX, SF5 vs. USF4:AE, etc.

yeah, that's how fighting games are

you only see the "final product" years after release, comparing it on release vs the previous after all the post launch content and updates doesn't work

Also take into account we barely have any knowledge of tech in this game. Remember how clunky people thought MKX was compared to MK9 until various amounts of tech were discovered?

In mk11 you only had 4 special moves. You call that variety? And mk1 caters to the hardcore fans. AKA LONG COMBOS, NO SCRUB MECHANICS, A COMPLETE CHARACTER MOVE LIST, FASTER MOVEMENT. ETC

Yo this game because of the kameo system had miles of depth over 11.

Yawn

After playing the game for several hours I wouldn't put it with any MK. It's genuinely unique borrowing, but something new. You can't see it in videos, you have to feel it.

mk11 worked very well from the very start on pc. mk1 does not. A wise man once said: you make mistakes to learn from it.

Qlocs answer: We need to make 100 years more of the same mistake to learn from it.

False. Mk11 had the same exact problems ad day 1.
Things get patched and people forget about the problems, believing that the game was always perfect therefore what came before it's always better.

I grew up with MK games. Call me troll or skill issue whatever you want this is the first game I refunded it.

MK11 wasn't perfect when it first came out, and I even have a negative review about the game. but it was much better in many aspects compared to MK1. This game gives the feeling of a quick cash grab with ready-made assets in order not to waste this year.

I find the cameo system completely unnecessary and empty, they forced something that no one asked. I would prefer the fighters there to be on the main roster.

Even character modeling seems like a complete diversity imposition.

[Star Rain]

Nah MK11 has some cool stuff fo sho, 60fps fatal blow is hype, but MK1 is still early days!

Hmm yeah theres no white people anymore wasnt Shao Khan a conan barbarian way back in the original trilogy, well now hes a white dragonman at least but thats not even human to be honest.

OP, I have something for you:

-"MK11 Was Better than this Garbage"

As a fan of the series who started with MK3 on 8bit Dandy, I agree that the latest game is very inferior to the previous series.

- Less level interactivity - objects cannot be used in levels.
- Absolutely useless character cameo system. Previously, heroes fought 1v1 and it was great. Now the developers have cheated on the animations of the main characters and simply added template cameos for the x-ray and throws animations. I believe that MK is 1v1 fights.
- There are much fewer animations. There is no character customization like in the previous part - where you could choose different techniques.
- The character editor itself is dull, it has become much worse than the last part, although they could have updated it to the game Injustice 2.
- At the start there is only one fatality, there is no preview of abilities and fatalities.
