They Toned up gore & Violence?,OK but still cant add nudity content like some nudity scenes or nudity type outfit?( like almost was from MK9orWitcher style inspiration elements )?

[CoolINaturrBoy]

(expect some english mistakes ,sorry )

(edited) OK im Not saying the game is bad. , i played MK9 , MKX and it was good.

i mean I dont get this,, why people are still ok with violance and gore but not nudity?

and btw im not the only first person asking this..
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/802908-mortal-kombat-x/71343632



Edit 2 : Well..... some people still doesnt get it and wishes this feature not to be added , it feels like they getting offended like how in 90s people gets offented by violance and gore in games,( is it? )
But anyway ,i accept your statement (some haters made good point) then , i was just giving ideas and suggestion about it like how they keep adding other more realism messed up things or gory ideas , and especailly toning up gore and violance.. Just thought ,they could also add some like this. ( like Witcher 3 nudity scenes style .. sort of )

Edit 4 : And onee thing i can agree from someone said that, is that MK dev or its company may lose somthing loss if they thought of adding this feature then theres possible contrevorsery happens? not sure.. ,

Edit 5: Also other people.. 'Teaspoon'' Made some good point,
especially like this one..
''I can understand the stance of someone asking why violence is okay but nudity isn't. The answer is fairly simple in that people are simply more used to seeing violence and thus have become more desensitized to it than they have things like sex and nudity. ''

but i was thinking they should think try once ( in my opinion or suggestion) ,for maturity sake, would it? as in test or some sorts of that..

Edit 6: Well i was hoping this thread could gone normal like how people get ok with Violance and gore ideas on thread.. but nope , its not :/
So i guess its basically like .. ''Nudity(plus sex)'' became a Bad,banned, or offending word to MK community? is it ?


Edit7 :Sigh , Or ..You know..... Wish i had put proper description or explaination about this idea at beginning if i had good english to explain in detail way about this idea :/
Or maybey wish i shouldnt have made this thread and save it for later

Update :
Edit 8: if this thread get locked without reason , then this could possible prove or answers this thread”s question .. Which is ...MK devs/team or fans are Accually Anti nudity ( not interested for adding nudity ) and never ever going to be added in future MK sequel too . But hey I don’t mind if this was answer . I accept this answer

but I wish , we could hear actual proper civil response from Mk community manager or especially Dev .. Ed Boon .?


One thing i like to say qoute/phrase thing

'' Violance gore good? Nudity ( plus/optionally Romance) is bad?''

(And also... sorry for my english)

Western culture is heavily influnced by christianity. We shame the naked human body because thats just our culture. Its the reason Japanese games sexualize everything, because it isnt shamed in their culture

[peacesFGC twitch.tv]

japanese porn is censored. try again.

Yeah :/ feels like it . ( though its not only Christenity but its more of america rules thing )
Yet other game made by Western like'' Conan exiles''(Survival game ) had full frontal nudity but with option and no option for gore and violance :/
Nudity for that is mostly made for survival situation/immersion but also used as , RP and fun, etc and some people enjoying it .
You know, that game's nudity got censored in US :but not Gore and violance :/ . how weird. ( though there already made free DLC for that on console )

Konquest Mode was a separate thing from the main storyline that ran parallel to it. It's not the same as what MK8-MK10 did.

Despite it being an open world thing I never saw any reason for it have/need sex scenes.

I kind of agree with OP, why do they up the blood and gore but tone down sexual themes and nudity.

So you agree with the OP that the game should have sex scenes? Good to know.

Also they've never toned down the nudity in any MK games because no MK games have had nudity.

I don't want or need nudity, I have no desire to see Quan Chi naked or the need to see a pair of tits. But having sexual themes or costumes i wouldn't mind.

It doesn't occur to you or the TC that the over the top violence plus nudity & sex scenes could push the game to an AO ratining. The ESRB would probably look at it as being too much, similar to what happened with San Andreas when it got an AO due to Hot Coffee being an already over the top M rated game.

Again, if you want that stuff mods are available to download.

1: You said Mortal Kombat never really had a full story mode, except MKX and MK9. And that no Mortal Kombat game you play through the story as a single character.

Well you're wrong, you did so in MK Deception and MK Armaggedon.

2: No, I don't want no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sex scenes lol. But I don't mind having romance in the story, if the plot would require it or improve from it. These themes are all present in the comics, movies, tv series so I don't see why not in the game as well. Something else than just people fighting each other cuz they wanna see who is strongest etc.

When I say I don't mind romance in the story, I mean story/cut scene of a relationship. No sex scenes or interactive romance lol.

3: When I said they toned down the nudity/sexual themes. I was mainly talking about costumes.

MK9 had unique, varied, over the top, fantasy costumes with a topless tattooed Johnny Cage lol, I also liked Sonya and Jade's costumes. Some of them might have been too much, like Skarlet and Mileena's.

But compared to MKX, both Johnny and Sonya are practically wearing the same thing. Boring vest, combat pants, t shirt. Just found it bland, even the colors are bland and brown.

So personally, I would just like MK11 to go back to MK9, 2, 3, Deception kind of look rather than MKX.


That is what I ment with I "KIND" of agree with OP. But good thing you only thought I ment sex scenes. Which I honestly don't see a point in lol.

[peacesFGC twitch.tv]

there are costumes for all tastes. there is no problem.

Because Konquest Mode was it's own separate thing. It's not Arcade Mode or Story Mode. It's a side thing just like Kart Kombat at Puzzle Kombat.

And that no Mortal Kombat game you play through the story as a single character.

As in the Arcade/Story mode. There have been games like Shaolin Monks & Mythologies were you can play through a MK story as a single character, but you've never played through the main storyline of any numbered/main MK game as a single character.

Well you're wrong, you did so in MK Deception and MK Armaggedon.

No, I'm not wrong because Konquest Mode isn't the main Story Mode. You'd think it being called Konquest MODE you'd be able to wrap your brain around that concept.

2: No, I don't want no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sex scenes lol. But I don't mind having romance in the story, if the plot would require it or improve from it. These themes are all present in the comics, movies, tv series so I don't see why not in the game as well. Something else than just people fighting each other cuz they wanna see who is strongest etc.

That's what fighting game plots are though. That's what the mechanics of the game basically force the story to be.

If you want a more elaborate or in depth type game or story the way you're talking about a fighting game isn't the place to do it. You'd get another WB studio like Monolith (Shadow of Mordor) or Rocksteady to do that type of game.

When I say I don't mind romance in the story, I mean story/cut scene of a relationship. No sex scenes or interactive romance lol.

Again, a fighting game isn't the place you'd do that sort of thing. From a design perspective you want to get the player to and from fights, which is why a different type of game would be better to do what you're talking about.

3: When I said they toned down the nudity/sexual themes. I was mainly talking about costumes.

The costumes & character designs changed for the better between MK9 and MK11. None of those designs they got rid of from MK9 were actually good designs. All of Mileena & Kitana's costume designs in MKX are far better than what they had in MK9.

MK9 had unique, varied, over the top, fantasy costumes with a topless tattooed Johnny Cage lol

Not really. The MK9 designs were mostly just tweaks to the designs that had come before. Johnny Cage's MK9 design is basically just his MK2 design but with his name tattooed on his chest.

Given that MK9 is a retelling of MK1-3 the costumes in MK9 were fairly similar to previous MKs where as MK5-7 & MKX really felt like they changed things up & had more creative freedom.

I also liked Sonya and Jade's costumes. Some of them might have been too much, like Skarlet and Mileena's.

But compared to MKX, both Johnny and Sonya are practically wearing the same thing. Boring vest, combat pants, t shirt. Just found it bland, even the colors are bland and brown.

That is what I ment with I "KIND" of agree with OP. But good thing you only thought I ment sex scenes. Which I honestly don't see a point in lol.

Based on what the OP has said thus far I don't know why you would want to agree with him in anything. It's like "Yeah this dude is a total sexist/criminal/whatever but he's got some cool artwork." or whatever. Agreeing with him on anything is just going to reflect poorly on you.

No, it isn't the next step, not even remotely.

Mortal Kombat is the only M rated fighting .game

No it's not. Pretty sure Tao Feng was rated M

and should have that feature like how other M rated game's nudity get added on later sequal .

Not every M rated game series adds nudity. You listed a few examples like Dragon Age where it happened, but it's not a standard for an M rated series to do.

Also remember when you lied and said the first Witcher game didn't have any nudity in it even though it did? Funny how you had no response to that.

And serious why comparing fictional fighting game to Real life fighting?

Because it further highlights how there's no purpose for it in MK.

Also why comparing T rated fighting game to M rated fightinggame ? wtf?

When did I do that? What T rated fighting game did I compare MK to in the post you quoted?

MK is a fighting game, it's only natural for people to compare it to other fighting games.

If MK is a fighting game then why are you comparing it to RPGs?

MK's rating is fairly irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. It's violence has always seemed like a novelty, especially now days as fighting games have had a bigger push towards esports they've become more about capturing or playing to that audience. Nudity serves no purpose there.

And why nudity in mature games has to be always mod? people doesnt want that type of mod where replace all characters nude that wasnt i meant by that?

It doesn't always have to be a mod, but the option to mod the game(s) exists & given how desperate you are for nudity in MK that's where you should be looking since it's not going to be in the official game releases.

And about Romance/sex , well you all know recent RPG games had romance but that doesnt mean it should have it every scenes,So well in MK,well maybey just thought it could fit , for example like in story mode,.... Shao Khan and Sindel romance scene on room or somthing like that ( or forget it) .Althought i was hoping for nudity instead of that..

That makes no sense.

Also MK is a fighting game, not an RPG, so why are you brining up RPGs?

And about MK9 , if there were no censorship thing then how come that character Sindel nudity scene in Story mode were half blocked?

That's not censored. That scene was specifically designed in such a way that you wouldn't see her naked. If the scene was censored it means that at some point they included nudity but then it got cut out of the US release of the game or whatever. THAT is censored.

Also that secret skin, Mileen flesh pit ? why her clothes doesnt damage or feels like censorship skin to me

That's a design choice, not censorship.

i was just giving ideas about it like how they keep adding other more realism messed up things especailly toning up gore and violance..

They don't keep adding more realism. Better graphical fidelity doesn't automatically = realsim with video games. Every Gears of War game looks better visually than the previous Gears game but it's still full of characters who don't have normal human proportions. Btw, Gears of War, a long running M rated franchise that's very gorey and doesn't have nudity.

NRS fightings are eSports oriented games. Majority of people in eSports are teens/kids. Nuff said.

Sigh.......

Well about Witcher part,, well i only played 2 and 3 not 1 but seen some gameplay of Wticher 1, thought it didnt had thats why i said and compare to it..

Again i didnt say MK is RPG , i was just giving an example scene from RPG game , just thought it could fit on MK story mode..

And about T rated, ---- Edit : Yeah sorry i guess u didnt mentioned that..

MK isnt only M yeah i know but its somhow the only first gory fighting game ever ..

And about censorship thing, yeah i know its not really Censored but it somhow kinda almost look like it .. i mean like why camera are ok to focus on fatalty on sindel but didnt showed nudity of her in story mode but oh welll , , ok ,Fine.


Well you know they keep on adding more realism stuff like enviroment destruction, half clothes destruction , more gore ideas, more fatalites and such like that, thats what i mean,not about graphic increasement ., so i just thought i could make such idea and suggestion about this..

Overall i get most of your point , but alright ,.....Fine..and sorry :/
Once again it was just Idea and suggestion about it.

(also i somtimes get misunderstand by some of your answer, so tthats why i answer some wrong where u thouight it was lie on that part)



By the way, one thing i forget to mention :)
No one asked for almost male nudity (balls) in X ray right ? ( just asking )

@homeless Offended much like on 90s people use to hate more on Violance and gore in game ,right?

Konquest mode was the main story mode of Deception, hell. It was like 50% of the game. It was the main story/campaign for that game and not just a tacked on mode.

Don't think so, Konquest was huge. Every darn NPC had unique voiced dialogue, not just the MK characters. But there where like tons of civilians etc on maps with everyone having voiced dialogue and quests. Lots of side quests. It was also open world.

Nope, the Kombat mode in Deception is the main story mode. Just because Konquest has more story to it doesn't make it the main mode.
