I'm tired of losing 40% to 50% Health

[Infinite Retro]

You miss one attack, you lose said above health. No other fighting game have i experienced such a broken state. Don't come in here telling me I have to sit in practice for hours. This is a videogame, supposed to be fun. No defense options to speak of, Up block sucks, and by the time you may have enough bar to break a combo, you've lost so much health and you have to hope your kameo isn't on cool down.

The hell is wrong with NRS and Ed Broon. Its like they catered to the Capcom Vs crowd because the esports klowns like SonicHoax wanted gigantic full screen carrying combos.

I'm so done. This is beyond repairable. Kameos was the WORST decision for an MK game. And also don't tell me people aren't cheating. I see the disconnect icon when it seems like they lost the upperhand, flawless combo execution which not only never misses, but is a mirrored copy you see on X, Youtube, Twitch etc.

We NEED more defensive options to push back but i doubt very much they will. Ed Boon is a cuck, him and his esports pets and shills are all that matter to him. He ignores ALL comments about trying to fix the game or the fact people still have major issues going on.

Also don't come in here talking about all fighting games have had big combos. The difference is those were the exception to the rule, in MK1, they ARE the rule.

I don't see this turning around anytime soon.

*sigh* You know which MK got it right with NO PATCHES (really) was MK 9. THAT WAS A GREAT FOR EVERYONE RELEASE! Mortal Kombat X (I only play on PC) ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Q-LOC screwed that up and it looked like we wouldn't get XL. We did and all was much better. MK 11? MK 11 seemed smooth to me in most aspects. I kinda found the game itself dull. But the Towers of Time and the WAY it was catered to the user. It was fine. ....

Mortal Kombat 1 is boring. Invasions is boring. You play a giant game board doing the same stuff over and over just for 1 of 100 different color palettes on a random character's skin? I hope you truly do play alone because those skins won't be usable by a local PLAYER 2!!!! (It's a feature) I may come back here and there, but I'm honestly just burned out on this flashy fail.

This is clearly way worse single player experience then MK 11. Invasion, one round matches against dead AI who dies with 2 combos and repeat this 200x times?

The gear system is worst. I am a reptile player and I got 2 options, gear and mask and best mask is "no mask"... No visual changes to reptile form too which you use for all the cut scenes, throws and %50 of the moves..

Reptile got only 2 combos, others suck or end up same if you want damage. So if I got a combo better then all, easy to do, why would I bother with others?

I "never" use bars at specials for any reason. They don't add to a combo, not have a special additions maybe armor.. wtf..

I still think having Cameo at a Mortal Kombat game does not make sense at all from any logical lore or game point. I still don't understand people who prices this game fighting system at all.

[Clamcumber]

I like the neutral in MK11, but most people did not. NRS is just listening to the majority of people who wanted long combos back.

We are never going to get a good MK game again. If there's something new, complaint. If they do what we ask, complaint. If things stay the same, complaint.

MKX was the MK series' swansong.

[Randerson112]

Truly? YES! :)

There are legitimate criticisms to be made about this game... plenty of them... but this is so out of touch and misses the mark by distances that NASA can't even reach.

There are ways to use tools in unintended ways that create new defensive options. For example, I have been using the Scorpion Kameo fireball as projectile blocker with Reptile. I call him, he blocks the Kung Lao Kameo low hat, and I get a free punish most of the time. I have not seen any other player doing this, so I am 100% sure that there are other defensive options we don't know about yet.

This is why fostering a healthy pro scene is so important. Historically, it's been the pro players that find new and interesting tech that changes the way the game is played. The vast majority of this generation of pro players are so lazy and unmotivated to stray away from anything that isn't considered "top-tier." I know you have a personal issue with SonicFox, but you have to give him credit. He's basically the only player doing the work to find new viable strategies.

You screeching about "mah wahmen teetees" and "I shouldn't have to practice to git gud" isn't helping anything or anyone. Stay in your lane and stick to complaining about the monetization. It's the only legitimate criticism you have.

To add to your point, the money being put into esports is dogwater btw. This further demotivates pro players from going to tournaments cos even with a top 8 placing they can barely recover their airline and hotel expenditure.

Agreed, which is why I'm telling this guy to stick to complaints about monetization. I posted this not too long ago:

NRS and WB are pulling in insane amounts of profit yet decides to stop using microtransaction revenue to fund tournaments? It's gross and displays just how little commitment NRS has to the community and this game's lifespan.

Fan fact is, WB needs fan funds to give people just some price of 1000$s..

My last MK which I will pay full rpice and buy day 1. I will wait at least 2 years next time when it has all and half price.

The crowdfunding concept that existed in MKX (blue steel Sub and crimson Ermac skins) which was actually very successful in getting in lot of money into the esports scene became something they should have sustained. The numbers dropped with MK11 and now even further with MK1.

You think casuals complaining about the lack of female nudity extend the life of a competitive fighting game?

Pro players and devs have a symbiotic relationship that keeps competitive games fresh. Apparently you play fighting games just long enough for your post nut clarity and subsequent religious depression and shame to set in.

If you can’t understand that, I really don’t think there’s enough crayons and Elmer’s glue on the planet to explain it to you.
