Mortal Kombat X

[oddech_wymarlych_swiatow]

well that IS a big change.

I might be mistaken, but that actually already happened in the previous storyline

Yes, it's not (only) a plot twist but actually strong reference to MK Deception (check Cassie's ending btw).

- Fucking nothing happens in the story other than establishing the extremely boring next generation. Shinnok is released, captured, then released, then incapacitated. The few new interesting characters (giant + midget) are barely there at all. Goro isn't even present.

For moar story check official MKX comics, game often alludes to it so without reading player knows shit about few thing (Reiko Accords, Suchin, Red Dragons involving etc).

I'm playing way more MKX right now than GTA V, also having more fun.

Both great games

 

[DakaSha]

So let's recap.

Story spoilers ahead if anyone gives a shit about that


- Right from the start you have to pay $5 or have pre-ordered to play as Goro.
- Game didn't fucking work on PC at all for a few days. Didn't work on some consoles too.
- Game only has 24 characters - fewer than even MK9. this is "justified" by taking random portions of each character's moveset and splitting it off into three modes.
- Female characters now look like awkward twig girls with heads too large for their bodies. They not only toned down the breast size, but also toned down their muscularity - somehow making them even more unrealistically built for the the role of a fighter. It's like they heard that MK9's tits were too big, and Injustice's Wonder Woman was too masculine, so they just neutered the female cast entirely for X.
- Fucking nothing happens in the story other than establishing the extremely boring next generation. Shinnok is released, captured, then released, then incapacitated. The few new interesting characters (giant + midget) are barely there at all. Goro isn't even present.
- Characters who died in the last game come back, either as fully restored, or decide to become EVUL!!
- The big plot twist after the credits is Raiden is now going to wear black and be reasonable.
- Scorpion is a generic handsome human ninja man.
- There are actual infinite block strings that will 100 to 0 people due to chip damage
- DLC pack with characters from the start
- Spend $20 to unlock all the krypt content lol
- The story mode characters that aren't playable characters are actually entirely functional. One of them is being sold in the upcoming DLC pack. Expect all of them to eventually be released as DLC.
- Netcode is the same garbage from the past 2 nethershit games.


So... did I miss anything?

Easy fatality DLC

 

[Daedalos]

People care about story in a Mortal kombat game?

lel

It's tag-along stuff, just ignore it.

But yeah, the netkode is pretty shitty at times, but it seems to have improved since release.. so that's good.

DLC packs? Well, don't buy em. Most companies make DLC shit now, just deal with it. The base game is very nice and has alot of fighters imo. Enough to keep me well entertained.

The toning down of female "attributes" dont really irk me, yeah so what..

Also, prices for DLC can be had at very cheap prices if you spend 2 minutes on google search.. gg no re

Coming as someone who never liked MKs (I was a Tekken kid by then), Im finding MKX really interesting. Im seriously considering buying it.

What exactly is added in MK10 that is not in MK9? Looks very similar, just with a bunch of gay new characters.

 

[baturinsky]

Just watch this

instead of wasting time and money on the game

 

[TheHeroOfTime]

At least the game is great, leaving aside the stupidities about the DLCs, but i think that the story mode is very short compared with the MK9 story mode. And it's curious, but i think it is lesser violent that MK9.

AND LEAVE MILEENA NEW DESIGN IN PEACE YOU DIRTY FAGGOTS

 

[warpig]

I played through the story mode and some of the "normal" sp mode. Evil greedy $$$ milking, SJW-ing and degenerate propaganda aside it's a fun fighting game (at least for someone like me, who isn't some kind of pro fighting game player). I like the new visual style, some characters look like shit though. Too many of these "soldier" types, Sonya looks horribly plain and most of the new guys suck (visually). One thing that really bothers me is the boring and forgettable music. I noticed this trend in many new games. WTF is this shit? a game like this could really benefit from a kick-ass soundtrack.
Story is some boring crap infused with soap drama and murican soldiers but it's not a storyfag game so I don't care. Maybe I will buy some ultimate complete edition of MKX when it get's cheap.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Probably been posted before, but I don't care!

 

[e-mailio estevez]

Does the game feature a Soulnado? Raiden exclaiming 'This is the biggest Soulnado I have ever seen!' was one of my favorite parts of 9.

 

[Parsifarka]

Spoiler

I couldn't stand the fucking romance at the end, gratuitous and forced, it made me hate those kids even more. Jacqui and Cassie should have been lesbians, just imagine those powerful ironfists of hers into that flexible thingy ^
Absolutely fitting. Lovely.

 

[warpig]

No Soulnados for you in MKX.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Soulnados, huh?

What's next, Raiden going "I have had it with these motherfucking souls on my motherfucking plane (of existance)!"

(I'm grateful I quite the MK games with UMK3.)

 

[MaskedMan]

God wtf are they doing, release a 15gb patch then change their mind and make people download ANOTHER 15gb patch just to get the game back to the state it was in before.

At least my internet is being bitchy enough 2day that I hadn't finished the first patch and could just cancel that shit. Think I'll just wait a couple weeks/months before I get back to this, prolly deleted my saves too.

More like a retread of MK Deception. It was kind of interesting the first time around, what with him going off and making Liu Kang's corpse into a zombie, but after practically making a bunch of good characters evil (in the most lulzy way) in MKX already, it's just lazy and uninteresting.

lol you'd be surprised at how many people think it's good.

 

[Snorkack]

I remember playing MKI and II on SNES and having a decent time with them. I also played stuff like doom, duke nukem, rise of the triads, and never has brutality in pc games an issue whatsoever for me.

But I just watched the 'All Fatalities' youtube clip and now I feel very uneasy and bad. Maybe I'm getting old, but Mortal Kombat X makes me feel really ashamed of being a gamer.

 

[Chamezero]

The old MKs were Doom edgy, this one is Hatred edgy.

What's up Ed?
