First

They did good until the last 2 chapters

@@Deathmare235 Totally, story was amazing until the scene Liu brought the Titan Kitana. Then, it's downhill story-wise even though I loved their reunion.

@@mk_jdilla the crazy part is realistically the reunion shouldn’t be a thing. Given what mk11 established for the canon. Liu should be the only remnant and last survivor of the 2nd timeline and not anyone else but they decided to have more multiversal bs and make the entire titan status even more pathetic (if everyone can somehow beat kronika and have that be canon, which basically makes the god pantheon and above even more of a joke).

the exploding models don’t bother me but I hate that whenever one explodes my fighter always reacts like they got hit. looks so stupid

Me too, I remeber waiting post-release for it. Until I realized we'd have to wait for around a year because of invasions and other dlc's the game will release.

Too bad the story sucked.

@@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475 Indeed.

This chapter is the definition of a good execution of a bad idea.

@@vaggos2003I was gonna fume if you said it was a good idea but you’re bang on

@@MusicoftheDamned ironic part is for mk1, people are also now dogging for the presentation aspects of how the story mode is shown (I.e. graphics and shit) and saying mk11 is better lmao

@@nabilahmed579 Lol. Revisionist "historians" are going to revision I guess. Not that _M1K_ doesn't have some presentation issues, especially since it clearly got rushed out and screwed over by _Kill the Justice League_ (which predictabky still bombed), but I have to wonder how the _MK11_ story mode is supposedly better overall. In graphics they seem about the same, and even as someone who thinks going "infinite multiverse!" with this franchise was even more of mistake than everything _MK11_ did somehow, the _M1K_ story mode before that point is overall rather decent while the story of _MK11_ is dumb all around

@@MusicoftheDamned honestly bro, I think it’s kinda like you said with the ‘historian’ part but more so with rose tinted glasses, lots of people forget how shit the predecessor when we are focusing on mk1. Mk1 is a shit product that was rushed out by WB to make money but to say mk11 is better is pretty much diabolical when you factor in that most of the complaints that we see from mk1 are literally what people was complaining in mk11 how - game balance (in terms of what characters are mostly seen) (mk1 - it’s JC, peacemaker, kenshi) and we only saw a few characters (e.g. in mk11, we are not gonna pretend that most times we mostly players use cetrion, liu and likes of jacqui), game balance in terms of functions and mechanics(e.g. mk1 - whoever can function without kameo is top tier, mk11 - whatever characters had more clutch options with stupid kbs, flawless blocks, additional areas such as fb benefits like JC and joker, multiple wake up options, how the game originally set out to be footsies ended up being a watered down version of mkx) - greed - there was some aspects of it being heavily criticised by mk11 as well when they managed to announce the ultimate editions of the games and how NRS was tryna rip off the lore loyal fans of mk11 off lmao. Where as mk1 has this in the online store - grinding - both games were just as criticised in terms of how shit the grind was in both games lmao - guest characters - as far as Ian concerned the only guest characters and mk characters that were genuinely requested were rain, fujin, spawn and potentially Shang and nightwolf. Everyone else was either not requested but got through due to story reasons, movie promos or straight up death threats in mk11, whereas mk1 no one wanted super heroes (but comp fine mk characters I could probs list a lot more but I am gonna say mk community is very weird at times when it comes to criticism and not exactly the smartest bunch when it comes to discussion considering most of them are pure casuals. All I know is that most of ‘mortal Kombat’ started really getting go downhill when mk11 came out and it’s just not for the story only (only knew mk11’s existence bcoz I kept getting spammed random terminator gameplay trailer ads when watching KZfaq)

It sure did. Especially taking into consideration his motive behind everything it’s even more stupid. 😂😂

Tbh, it started to dive when Bi-Han turned evil, then once Shang revealed himself it was all over 😔

The story might have been salvagable if Titan (ugh) Shang Tsung's universe was the only other universe to exist period, like his reveal seemed to imply. And then they went full multiverse to trend chase while giving us no reason to care *and* making it seem like they were already going to reboot their reboot again. Sigh. This was so avoidable even if NRS was bound by WB to make it _MK11: Part 2.5: After-Aftermath_ for some reason. Short of WB literally forcing the multiverse trend-chasing, I see no legitimate excuse for this.

@@pt7930 nahhh u right they keep makin my mans evil for no reason😭😭😭

@@pt7930Bi Han is easily the worst character in the game. Such a bland villain.

*Friendship.* Friendship!?!

@@nathanielvaughn6728 Again?

That trick never works!

Didn't people say mk11 was the biggest fumble considering literally everybody hated that game

@@MazeDaGr8He means that the game was going great up until that point. MK11 has very few good moments, let alone great. There was nothing to fumble.

@@MazeDaGr8 mk11 still has the most people hating its story mode when you take everything into consideration. At least, with m1k, the story was only taking a nosedive in the last few chapters compared to mk11 (dlc included) being a fucking trainwreck through most of the story chapters entirely

​@@nabilahmed579I'm actually one of the people who considers M1K's story not good even before the third act...tho quality did nosedive regardless at the final chapters anyway.

I remember when they explicitly pointed out in a patch note that Ninja Mime no longer grunts in gameplay. I wonder if the cutscene was always like that or if it was also changed.

I totally agree, they honestly should have just kept switch with mk 11 and waited to port mk 1 to switch 2, the mk 11 port is a lot better and doesn't have nearly as much problems as the mk 1 port

I think this is almost guaranteed.

MK4.

@@The4thSnake wasn’t aware of that, thanks

every single wrong qte, huh?

@@Terminated_Account What do you mean?

@@adrianrocha6844 qte = quick time event basically im saying you chose every single wrong choice haha

You weren't first, but the first was a bot so you basically were.

​​@@The4thSnake. Sometimes, you're just too soft with them man!

Hilarious.

Yes

Gee, maybe if WB gave them more time to finish the game...

​​@@Greg501-. So the games can't be made cel shaded? Good to know...

@@erikbihari3625 How did you get that from me saying that M1K looks the way it does because of a tight deadline from the executives?

@@Greg501-. What i'm saying is, that if their on a tight schedule then that's more reason for cel shading! Because you can get good result for half the price. Have you seen Storm Hawks? Not to mention the Many games that use this style to great effect like okami! You're trying to twist my words now?

They wanted their own endgame, that simple.

This is one of the worst takes ever. This is the better than 95% of MK's stories. Especially fighting games in general.

Still better than the entire base mk11 story.

I do think that this is as both the best but worst chapter imo.

​@@TheCaptainhowdy11Even if this was true, then it would still be damned by faint praise just like how calling it the best story mode NRS has done would be, unfortunately. _M1K_ had a story that was overall going to be rather decent, maybe even good, until NRS decided to make its story _MK11: Part 2(.5): After-Aftermath_ and then added the infinite multiverse trend chasing on top of that. After needlessly rebooting their reboot only three games in, why should we care anymore? The "funniest" thing about the squandered potential of the _M1K_ story and it technically (not) being a r reboot is how the Great Kao Lung was teased at the end of _MK11: Aftermath_ only for him to be completely irrelevant...again. Of all the _MK_ stories to continue, _MK11_ is literally the last one that anyone wanted, especially after _Aftermath_ was the cleanest breakaway NRS was going to get.
