What -features- will this game actually have that make it more than "just another Mortal Kombat game"?
Right now It's not looking great >tiny roster of characters noone asked for >already confirming finished content will be (((DLC))) >new villain is a complete flop >characters look like shit, new art direction NRS has been taking absolutely sucks, see injustice >visual clutter ruins potentially memorable maps
Is there any hope the game will be worth the price tag?
It's a mix of really good choices and utter shit. My three mains are in, but i agree, there are some really bad choices no one asked for, like five of them.
The game looks fun and i am glad it's coming to the switch. It's been a while since i played MK and this one has a retro vibe to it.
Colton Garcia
Are you fucking retarded? Obviously you know literally nothing about fighting games and certainly werent going to buy this game regardless of anything but youre also literally lying seeing as how the base roster is bigger and infinitely better than MKX
Mason Sullivan
>Is there any hope the game will be worth the price tag? The gameplay could end up being good, but I don't like it so far
Tyler Moore
Lol what? Both have 25 base characters, the only good thing 11 did was remove the Kombat Kids and it didn't even do that right because Cassie and Jacqui are still in.
Andrew Garcia
Not getting unless NRS pulled a Koei Tecmo and still has all the sexy stuff in the final game. I didn't care for it at first, but the preachy way Boon came off in that interview made me drop the game. Hell, I was defending it at first.
There are a few good things like Xrays being out for fatal blows
Xs story mode was a chore it wasnt even fun in a camp way, just extremely badly written dialogue and limp voice acting
Landon Baker
>Muslim Cuckbat
Liam Cruz
What sexy stuff? Costumes?
Lucas Harris
holy shit, have sex you fucking incel and maybe you could learn to appreciate a game without having to have a boner or ogling women
Jose Perry
Like I said, it's not the fact that they're not there. In fact I was defending Scarlet's redesign a few months ago. It was the fact that they want to say "It's not very mature or realistic". They should just be honest and say "it's not socially acceptable so we won't go in that direction with our game". That's all, and I would have still bought the game. Instead the took the cowardly route.
Joshua Martinez
I still cannot believe uninspired trash like Jacqui is on the base roster meanwhile the only Kombat Kid worth a damn in MKX, Takeda, who had a certified online playerbase to back that up didn't make it to the base roster.
Jacob Powell
The gameplay lacks a hook to really pull me in still. I like a lot of the changes and they are smart to try and fill the slower/more neutral game hole in the market. i also like that they are willing to try weird things, though some of it isn't original and really not pushing the concept further. Custom variations are certainly a unique idea but I'm still waiting to see anyone do something crazy with it. They are actually pretty restrictive with what you can mix and match. For how long the beta was I don't think we saw the game advance all that much.
I can see it being one of those games that everyone says why aren't people playing it, the game does all this good stuff etc. And the answer will just be the game isn't grabbing them.
Parker Adams
>characters look like shit. Too far. Most of them look like crap. But a few (Kung Lao, Johnny, Kotal) look really, really good. Still, this is the first modern MK I won't buy on day 1. It looked boring at the reveal and after the beta, multiple diehards are saying the same thing. Boring. Same old sortened combos. What was the point in saying 75% dmg combos were too long and OP, then making shorter combos do the same if not more dmg? Answer: to make the game even more casual. It's brain dead.
Noah Watson
Not him but its the exact opposite for me, I was positive but still deep down lukewarm until I actually played the beta and it feels like its going to be impossible to ever go to any other fighting game afterwards
the only thing I have my doubts and hope for them to satisfy is that they would make actually fun 3 base variations where each special move a character has overall is spread out over them instead of locking tons of quality moves behind kiddy games youll never actually play as long as its more worth it to learn the competitive matchups
the main reason people are iffy over variations in the first place is because it feels like a character torn to pieces with specialization kits rather than 3 fully fleshed out versions of a character. Giving each of them more unique strings and specials might be slightly harder to balance but simply more deep and fun in the end
Nicholas Phillips
>if you don't like nrs' watered down junk games, you know nothing about fighting games lolol. The games are pretty, but they're shit. MK9 was the closest they got to being good.
Samuel Allen
This, I wouldn't have an issue with it if not for the blatant hypocrisy in their words and actions.
Juan Cook
X-rays are fatal blows. No amount of psychological yoga can change that. Now, they're just end of round, unlimited safety nets. How is that better? You can keep whiffing it and it recharges. It's shit. You're gonna get bored of them anyway. People are already sick of them.
Josiah Diaz
name the fighting games where you are either
>in the top 500 ranked players in their prime >have been in the top 24 at any offline tournament that wasnt your smelly backroom local >are a relevant community personality/ influencer >have been a developer/ commentator/ anything even remotely comparable that doesnt directly relate to player skill
if you cant do any of these, never expect anyone to take your parroted nonarguments seriously anymore
Ethan Miller
>it feels like its going to be impossible to ever go to any other fighting game afterwards Why? The game only the custom variations are a unique system (the idea of variations exist in other games at least) you won't find elsewhere. The idea of a slow fighter with shorter combos isn't something new either.
>instead of locking tons of quality moves behind kiddy games What? None are locked up
Nathan Wood
>what you don't want, base roster >what you do want, DLC. Unless it's the original cast, that's NRS's new way do doing things.

>I cant make an argument so i'll act like a retard How's MK doing in the pro scene ?
>isn't something new and yet its the newest, the one thats going to be played. Only time will tell how good will it be in the long run but I certainly couldnt stop playing the beta
>What? None are locked up there are countless moves that were exclusively perks of custom variations in the beta and custom variations WILL NOT be used in ranked or tournaments, aka they will universally be treated as the "real" game as they should just like in injustice 2
You mean you literally didnt fit a single one of those, confirmed youre a retarded parrot yourself and still expect anyone to take anything you say seriously about this genre?
He's fat and looks more like a lawman now but he might have some cosmetics to make him look as venomous as he did in X
Eli Barnes
Watch your hype wear off faster than it did for mkx. Explain why MK11 is so much better than X or MK9 other than it being a new MK game. And don't say footsies, there are no proper footsies. The rushdown characters will still be broken like Kabal already is. Besides, you don't play other fgs with actual footsies or you wouldn't be hyping mk11 as having them.
What's gonna happen is you're gonna be hype. It'll release, you'll watch the pros exploit the weaknesses in the meta, of which there will be many, then your hype will fade.
>the one thats going to be played Well that isn't really true. There are lots of games out and people still play older games. I don't get the only game you'll ever play part when you don't even seem to articulate why it is special.
>there are countless moves that were exclusively perks of custom variations in the beta and custom variations WILL NOT be used in ranked or tournaments, They've said the current set ones aren't final, and who knows how it'll run in tournament. Especially if the base game doesn't grab people.
That means you also have to shut up, you sperg lol. Logic, not even once. Plus, I've probably been in more tournaments than you. If you had, you wouldn't look up to e-celeb shills paid to hype up the game.
Carter Perez
the game just looks like shit

>the absolute state of MK shills Mk is the casual fighter. So come with an a actual argument if you expect anyone to take anything you say seriously about this genre
Grayson Wilson
She seems cool. Way more interested in her than what has been shown so far
>And don't say footsies, there are no proper footsies.
youre literally retarded, this "argument" is over before it began
> Besides, you don't play other fgs with actual footsies the only fighting game thats relevant right now with footsies is tekken 7 and I dont like 3d games, go kill yourself
I was in the top 500 ranked players in injustice 2 in its prime and my main training partner was a top 100 player who im pretty sure played in at least a couple online tournaments too (erayko)
>i dont have to know what im talking about haha its just casual because I was told so
you literally have no clue on the subject, its a series which fundamentally changes its gameplay on every fucking entry. Crawl back to /fgg/ to post muh sniffs while never getting out of super silver
Jose Thompson
Why do shills do this to themselves? If you just acted like a normal calm person people wouldn't think MK fans are dicks. Instead you shit on other games, get angry with people and then can't even say anything about the game outside "no really it looks seriously great guys wow!"
Carter Wood

>and then can't even say anything about the game outside "no really it looks seriously great guys wow!" why would I spout my own opinions about why I like it or why its objectively good if im talking down to retards who literally dont even understand what makes a fighting game good? go back to crying about muh ninjakilla run and how "mk9 was totally good" because it was your first fighting game and how the player one having literal input priority in mirror matches was so epic and soulful

Michael Rodriguez
Get fucked I'm not the guy you were arguing with but you yourself most likely don't even pass your autistic set of qualifications. You are just another random here as well so it's not like your opinion has any ''merit'' as well. And even if he did ''qualify'' you'd move the goalposts anyway like any autist does here when challenged. End yourself
>but you yourself most likely don't even pass your autistic set of qualifications. are you literally retarded? not only did I say I did, the entire point of the "qualifications" is to stop actual brainlets from going around posting the "muh casual nrs" garbage when they are literally on such a low shitter level that they cant even comprehend their own parroted opinions, where they stem from and where they apply and how
I also dont go around talking about the quality of any fighting game that I havent put proper time into as evidenced by some mouthbreather who told me to play other footsie heavy games and my only response was that I dont like 3D games which is the only other option outside of MK11 (tekken 7)
>you'd move the goalposts anyway you mean like you are doing? how fucking stupid are you? the goalpost is "this game is casual" and I said to the people parroting that shit to prove that they know what they are talking about since literally none of them are actually explaining what is supposedly casual about MK11. Its even worse when these retards post so obviously parroted and outright laughable statements like "mortal kombat is casual" because theyve heard it somewhere else, completely unable to explain why even any one single MK game applies to that
Juan Adams
The feature of get good. If you can't do a move or combo ten times in a row on both sides then you have plenty of single player to do.
Elijah Cook
lol, MK was never taken very seriously in the FGC user, stop shilling this game like if you were some hardcore fighting game player and everyone not having a hardon for MK is just some casual
outside of the choppy, tho pretty creative ps2 games MK was always just a casualized SF, copying the new mechanics the latest SF came up with
Kayden Harris
You are greatly overestimating your worth here if you think anyone is going to bother to read every single autistic post you make in a thread. I just saw your garbage post and wanted to call you out on it. Sperg some more and keep entertaining me retard.
Jordan Martinez
Fuck outta here with that Muslim Kombat shit
Bentley Peterson
>i-it was never taken seriously!!1 thanks for confirming you literally cant do anything but keep parroting what other people have said 10 years ago while not even understanding why or what exactly has been said
its funny if youre going to make what other people say the crux of your epic argument here since MK11 is receiving universal praise from everywhere in the pro circles while every single one of them has been relentlessly shitting on everything capcom has put out this gen
>i cant read a reply chain because im smarter haha keep sperging go back to memeddit, the only thing you did was embarrass yourself
Bentley Nelson
I agree. It's just more virtue signaling and appealing to sjws in the end because like everyone using ''muh realism'' as an excuse to cover up they always, like the hypocrites they are, leave the males in practically butt naked.
Dominic Brown
>stop parroting what everyone is saying about this series so stop what most actual fighting game players' opinions are on the series?
will you also ignore the fact that MK never survived a single year in the tournament scene?
>MK11 is being praised who exactly is praising it? Most of the impression towards MK11 is exactly criticism how it is copying SFV's slow footsie based gameplay with it's stubby normals and slow movement speed. Like if they are finally trying to make a fighting game with lasting competitive value at least copy USF4 or Third Strike instead of the heavily criticized SFV.
John Myers
The only thing that's embarrassing here is you for thinking anything posted here actually matters and/or has weight. No one gives a shit about your sperging if you want to be validated for your garbage ''opinion'' follow your own advice and got to reddit or any place that uses accounts. Holy shit man get laid or just stop posting for a while.
Christian Gonzalez
these sjw's would just cover up the males too just to not seem hypocrite before they would let us have sexy females truly dark times
Connor Gomez
>so stop what most actual fighting game players' opinions are on the series?
you mean all the people praising MK11?
>will you also ignore the fact that MK never survived a single year in the tournament scene? not even going to get into this non "argument" since literally everything retarded you could possibly say boils down to either lies or stupidity, NRS games lately have been on a 2 year cycle and their games have only recently even started toying with the idea of a tournament scene
youre a casual kid desperately trying to appear smarter/ a better player than you are by parroting old jokes about NRS when they are the only studio that actually improved rather than getting worse over time. Its exactly why your "haha muh nrs" bullshit is literal memes and its why none of you can ACTUALLY pick out anything from MK11 that would make it a bad fighting game beyond "but muh mortal kombat never had respect". Youre too stupid to actually know anything about the genre so its like talking to a fucking fish about why MK has taken street fighters soiled throne
>who exactly is praising it? Most of the impression towards MK11 is exactly criticism how it is copying SFV's slow footsie based gameplay with it's stubby normals and slow movement speed. every single word here was a lie, either consciously or youre actually fucking retarded. Im not even exaggerating, you would have to be literally retarded to say this. MK11 has longer buttons on almost all characters than the VAST MAJORITY of any fighting game that doesnt advertize itself as a weapons fighter
> they are the only studio that is actively improving
with MK11 this is the second game in a row where their much-touted player customization feature will have almost no relevance in a competitive settings. NRS isn't 'improving', because their games are constantly stuffed full of good and bad features it's impossible to accurately gauge progress.
Jaxson King
>will have almost no relevance in a competitive settings
so you just named another good thing about them, well done, they know how to please the casuals and get the sales while also trying to take the competitive scene seriously unlike the clowns behind SC
Cameron Baker
>tiny roster of characters noone asked for >Noob >no one asked for Imagine being this retarded
Justin Johnson
>no reptile, one of the most iconic characters in the franchise
MK + Competitive scene . Yeah i don't think they like each other

Are you kidding me? The actual gameplay looks the best in the entire series.
A neutral based MK game is something i never thought i would see or want so much.
Sebastian Bailey
Obviously not, their go to is just "muh male power fantasy".

Alright I am calling you out right now. Post proof of your supposed rank or whatever that makes you think that your opinion has any merit. Show me the rank or that you are an eceleb like you said another user had to be to have a ''valid'' opinion. You can sperg all you want but in the end if you can't prove this you are just another autist shitting up the thread with your sperging. Go on I'll wait.
Austin Campbell

Robert Parker
>Our design is just getting more mature and respectful. You’re not going to wear a bikini to a fight. You’re not going to be showing so much skin. I think it’s just what the game is about: You’re going in to fight for your life, and you’re not going to be wearing such scantily clad items.
Brody Ward
>Show me the rank how fucking stupid are you? "when the game was relevant" was over a year ago, do you think ive been sitting in ranked to desperately stay high on the list you fucking idiot? my score in the ranked is 1.029 wins/ 391 losses (sets)/ currently at spot 1453 and unlike the vast majority of idiots I never cared enough to make smurf accounts for learning new characters
>another user had to be to have a ''valid'' opinion. saying "its casual" warrants you to either have so much status that you can throw out a statement like that while people automatically know you know what youre talking about or you actually have to prove that the game is casual, youre literally retarded if you dont understand the point
about what? how fucking stupid are you? soul calibur literally is a shitfest online where everyone can play as a custom character but feel free to keep moving the goalpost
Bentley Powell
you're not taking the tournament scene seriously by not implementing player customization in a balanced way.
its honestly hilarious looking at 16 year olds talk about how MK11 is "casual" while every single old school pro player has nothing but positives to say about it (even from other games, if for nothing else then the netcode and presentation)
Caleb Carter
>not even going to get into this non "argument" Why don't we let the numbers speak for themselves
so is the argument here that the most casual fighting game event of all time where every single mouthbreathing bidoo gamer "goes to evo" has the highest numbers on franchises not made by NRS? Wow thanks for confirming how hardcore it is, now see you at MK11 you fucking retarded child completely incapable of understanding how every single MK game plays differently from the next and its exactly why people liked 9 more than 10
Lincoln Bailey
Seeing as the argument is about how active the competitive scene is no shit.
No, the point is that the numbers drop of drastically after one year no matter how much NRS shills push the game. While other series can grow year on year. Even KI did it. So saying the games die early is very true, the numbers show it
Jeremiah Reyes
the MK11 girls get a lot more appealing if you just resize the width of their face. It's pretty funny.
>how every single MK game plays differently from the next isnt that also prove that NRS is consistently incapable of making a competitive friendly game ?
Mason Cooper
It's like the dude they got to model them is working on fucking CRTs or something.
Henry Martinez
So you can't huh? SO by your own accord your opinion has no value. No it be better to say your opinion has ''expired'' so to say. Yeah just stfu and end yourself chickenshit retard. You are like all the other autists coming here. Retards with something to prove and so desperate to leave a ''legacy'' as it were he'd decide to shit up a thread with is garbage opinion thinking he is somehow better then anyone else posting here. NRS games are casual garbage only good for their story and no amount of sperging you do will change that and everyone will forget your sorry ass when this thread inevitably archives. I hereby declare your opinion and sorry life invalid so just end yourself.
Cooper Harris
MK was always a fucking joke series played for laughs and as a gag. You're like that retard who thinks being the top 100 at Digmon Battle Arena 2 is something to be proud of.
Grayson Walker
>Seeing as the argument is about how active the competitive scene is no shit.
Since when does more people playing a game make it more competitive?
Theres way more people competing at moba or battle royale tournaments than all fighting games combined. Yet id say fighting games are more complex and competitivly deeper games.
Hell more people are "competing" in fucking hearthstone.
Brandon Perez
>Seeing as the argument is about how active the competitive scene is no shit.
where? you mean you desperately moved the goalposts after saying that MK11 is casual into "w-well the whole franchise isnt respected" into "w-well why isnt it alive then!!1"
the series is alive if people like the latest game you fucking mouthbreathing child, nobody likes street fighter 5 but the community is so desperate, brainwashed and stuck up in their one ancient franchise that theyre scared to move on and literally complain all day long about having to play a terrible game
NRS players just drop the game and wait for something better
they have put out two games this generation and the latter is most likely the best balanced fighting game of all time
Jonathan Richardson
This is the normiest of normie fighting games. This shit is the reason why people are mad that there isn’t some way to play against yourself on day one and there isn’t some shifty unlockables. A real fighting game only needs itself to be good, not some shitty solo mode add on. Regardless, this shit will sell gangbusters form people who wants to say they play fighting games but actually lacks the skills to do so, ie the normie crowds who also buys smash bros.
Hunter Collins
No....that's Jade. >yes its hinted that Jade is about to marry Kotal in beta dialogue

How is being at the top of any other game something to be proud of? After all its still only a game.
>Since when does more people playing a game make it more competitive? >how active the competitive scene is Are you ESL?
>where? >will you also ignore the fact that MK never survived a single year in the tournament scene? Game dies quick and you are just avoiding the point now
>the series is alive if people like the latest game Apart from it dies the whole time Injustass is going. If you really liked the games you'd stick with them, especially as the franchise tends to change a lot. You're just a series whore, you don't care about gameplay.
Isaac Lewis
>Are you ESL?
Well the competitive scene for hearthstone is more active than Streetfighter, that means hearthstone is a deeper and more complex game.
Josiah Morales
What's a new fighting game allowed to release with now anyway, every release except for maybe smash has had people bitching about the roster size as if designing fighters isn't time consuming or anything
Brayden Williams
Lmao look at this hypocryte. Keep sperging for me like the little bitch you are and I'm sure your mommy will reward you for being good at NRS garbage.
Gabriel Roberts
>will you also ignore the fact that MK never survived a single year in the tournament scene? >Game dies quick and you are just avoiding the point now
so you literally disproved your own retarded lie with your epic statistics and now expect me to dance around your retarded strawmen about how good X and X old MK game is and whether or not they deserved to be "alive" for X amount of time
>Apart from it dies the whole time Injustass is going. If you really liked the games you'd stick with them, are you fucking retarded? I literally just said it stays alive if people like the game, literally nobody liked injustice 1, MKX or I2 in the long run after their initial shinyness wore off
>You're just a series whore, you don't care about gameplay. woah...that must be why I hate MKX and like MK11, I only care about da franchise name and its also why im desperately defending all those other completely unrelated games to MK11 because I have to defend da reputation of da competitive scene from the past 10 years

Fucking thank you. nrs fanboys are so desperate for hardcaor! credibility is hilarious. If the game was as deep and skill-based as they often lie, it would speak for itself. Wouldn't need almost a decade of nrs scrubs overcompensating. They want so badly to be taken as seriously as SF (overall, not SFV), and Tekken, but at the same time try to shit on them and beg nrs for the games to be even scrubbier.
There's a reason that fag SonicFox used to run through their entire community, taking all the prize money to the point where they started to unironically hate him. Because most of them are scrubs! He's one of the few with actual skill.

Noah Thomas
Fightning games never have a majority of the cast be new characters, Street Fighter tried that once and it almost didn't pan out if the game wasn't so amazing and most of the characters turned out to be cult favorites.
I don't know why so many people who don't like the series feel a need to come into threads about the game and shitpost
Nolan Harris
That left one literally looks like the new Avengers armor suits
Leo Lopez
That he's shit at other fighting games just proves how garbage NRS games are if a literal furry faggot can dominate there.

Angel Robinson
>Street Fighter tried that once and it almost didn't pan out if the game wasn't so amazing and most of the characters turned out to be cult favorites.
Despite having a cult status now, it actually DIDN'T pan out. SF3 sold like shit compared to 2 and 4.
Thomas Gomez
don't care about the redesigns but the "realism" excuse was cringe considering most of the women are wearing high heels. i'm still getting it because i like how it plays but that kind of dishonesty isn't a good look
Nathaniel Bennett
Why does Cassie look like she's wearing one of those Mass Effect costumes that got shopped around games for a few years.
are you fucking retarded? he is good at any fighting game he puts the time into but the only fighting game he was ever top 1 at was mortal kombat X because it played to his at the time strengths, he was more dominant in fucking dragonball than injustice 2
Jaxson Thompson
Well, yeah, I mean it didn't pan out commercially, which is why no fighting game ever did it ever again. I just mean the game could've bombed completely, but it got a cult status and some of the characters luckily got to stick around.
Sonic is good at NRS games, I don't think he's a prodigy at fighting games but I think he understands how NRS games works a lot. He's free in other games for this reason. I don't think NRS games are a joke, I think that they've wanted to push the games more and more into an interesting competitive angle while having to trim away some of the fanservice along the way, and since they're more free to play with their own systems, and MK11 has a lot of interesting systems, I'm looking forward to it.
Oliver Phillips
Because I don't want to wast my time getting gud just to play a garbage nrs game. Watching a ''ALL CUTSCENES'' video on youtube will be enough for me thanks
Xavier Myers
This comment might be written either by a 79iq poster or a troll. But now I'm turning thought towards the former
Hunter Cruz
>>characters look like shit, new art direction NRS has been taking absolutely sucks, see injustice
Not to mention they really got lazy with story telling too. The first injustice game story was pretty great but the second one was unable to keep up with it. MK was the same. Their first MK retelling all the other MK game stories was great but MK 10 story felt really bland in comparison. In both cases this was paired with the quality of the art style dropping. MK 11 seems to be heading on the same direction but fucking the music too...
Grayson Edwards
Admitting you can't just mosey on down to NRS town for free money like most of the SF cringelords is good enough for me
Justin Flores
It's not a complete fix but it's a big improvement on its own.
Yeah, you're aware that the art style of Mk9 is fucking bad right?
The game itself doesn't want to be a gag anymore after 9.
Jackson Butler

Tyler Cooper
9 was also a gag

Jonathan Rodriguez
Yes, and you still have people pretending it wasn't and is a serious fighting game to be taken serious as the sequel proves by dropping the gag outright.
Samuel Nguyen
It's not, the models are what's bad because NRS' last game was on the PS2. Just look at the concept art.
Mason Mitchell
I dont know how game devs are going to get out of the hole of being too scared to make black male characters that arent just "big nigga"
when it comes to NetherRealm its more about being thankful for features they DIDN'T design. the fact that it looks simply like a competent 2d fightan game is thrilling. please keep quiet before they decide it needs a stamina bar or some shit.
Nolan Myers
Most women don't look like men either.
Joseph Robinson
It's called having principles you underage retard. Just because someone offered me $10000 to eat shit wouldn't make me do it. I'm not going to play your garbage game no matter how much they offer me to subhuman.
Mason Gray
>>*beep boop* is this an april fools joke?
Logan James
I'm sure it'll fix itself if you just ignore it :^)
Aaron Allen
Boon is a fucking liar and can't be trusted. Kombat pack is probably two sets of 4 this time around.
Daniel Torres
I don't get it.
Thomas Clark
Ultimate edition gives you 6 characters. Retard.
Jeremiah Parker
>Just because someone offered me $10000 to eat shit wouldn't make me do it. You're an idiot.
Gabriel Cooper
>concept art has anything to do with in game asset art
The fuck? Are you trying to say that 9's artstyle is good cause the women show slightly more skin in it? And despite everything else, that this overwhelms the art upgrades from X or 11?
Christian Rivera
A classier move would have been to leave the thread so you can at least pretend NRS doesnt live in your head for free
Levi Jenkins
You people seem to think so.
Hudson Adams
>just ignore it bro not him but we've already learned that doesn't work.
Ryan Ramirez
let's be honest now, anybody who takes fighting games seriously is an unbearable sad-act regardless of the title.
Matthew Watson
>different load outs for characters able to customize their moves and looks >the krypt >enhanced graphics and overhauled fighting system >massive story mode that will actually be the highlight of the game NRS is pushing what a fighting game should have and every game they make is an obvious improvement over the last. Every other fighting game is just online multiplayer with some other modes and content tacked on. MK11 is looking like an action/rpg with fighting game elements and an online multiplayer fully fleshed out and added to it.
Then there'll be a third Kombat pack down the line you inbred.
Jordan Cooper
Only when they do look like men.
Luis Price
>art upgrades from X or 11? Ah yes, muh black and grey realism shit, truly a beautiful "artstyle".
Camden Richardson
Damn you must really be a really poor poorfag/third worlder because no actual human would do this.
A classier move would have been to never enter this garbage thread in the first place and pretend NRS games are anything other then casual garbage only good for a few gags.
I want a suggestion of what say, Cassie should be wearing while still representing her character design. Or sonya, what should Sonya look like to represent a military officer while also "pleasing" the people who want her to be wearing something else.
I dunno, you people think Lady looks like a man cause she has a strong jawline in DMC5, I think your tastes are warped so that women are either 1s or 10s and everything inbetween is a man
>grimdark and poor colors along with also trying to wash out stuff to try and seem realistic
Or do you forget all of the Earthrealm stages? All the stages during night or the Colosseum. Nine's palette and aesthetics fucking sucked dude, the outfits sucked too except for Noob and Smoke, and even they had pretty generic looks.
Samuel Butler
Go away shill
Jeremiah Hughes
I agree
So why are you here?
Carson James
different user. think this is it. wasn't boon, it was the art director polygon.com/2019/3/6/18252200/mortal-kombat-11-scorpion-fatality-ed-boon >Our design is just getting more mature and respectful. You're not going to wear a bikini to a fight. You're not going to be showing so much skin. I think it's just what the game is about: You're going in to fight for your life, and you're not going to be wearing such scantily clad items. meanwhile nearly every female is wearing heels and most males have a shirtless skin
Eli Phillips
look at this retard stop trying to shitpost so hard
>thinking he's classy for not wanting to eat shit while literally arguing with people on Yea Forums, the place where opinions and debates literally don't matter and entering threads to demonstrate he clearly doesn't know anything about the franchise he's trying to put down
Classic Yea Forums.
Bentley Foster
>NRS got so tired of faggots asking for Frost and Cyborgs that they decided to take both and piss off the fans of both parties in the hope that they get so mad they never ask for them ever again You think you're slick NRS but I'm on to you.
>different load outs for characters able to customize their moves and looks Not in ranked or competitive play. At best it will be used for combo videos, not like casuals will know what to do with it and will just stick to the easiest things to use. The other 3 are the same as any MK game. Your second point is straight up the graphics got better and it plays differently. That's every fighter.
> MK11 is looking like an action/rpg with fighting game elements SC6 (and other SC games) straight up have an actual RPG mode. MK11 just has a cinematic story
Jose Sullivan
a man is shirtless my god i need to get my pearls
Owen Rogers
..So are we going to talk about her or are we just going to continue bashing and hating something that is not even out yet? youtube.com/watch?v=fDeVC7GlYWU
Grayson Garcia
Wait really? No Reptile?? TRASH
Kayden Thompson
I'm liking everything I've seen so far, but that whole statement about "realistic designs" and "no more bathing suit outfits" is fucking dumb. Why would you limit what you can design a character to look like? That's how they end up looking the same. And people love the bathing suit outfits from MK2 and MK9.
I wonder what they would do if a woman called them out on this sort of thing.
It's going to hurt seeing the concept art with much better designs that this tool rejected because he hates random shit no one else would give a fuck about
Zachary Jones
Each Kombat Pack has to have the same number of characters in it to justify the price, if they lowered said amount in any of them there would be hell to pay, trust me, they are already getting shit about the polygon interview but cutting back on character count would cause havik.
Carter Ward
Some females have voiced concern but they ignored them and its hard to tell if those bitches might just be lying to get attention so take that as you will
Jeremiah Walker
>not being excited about Scorpion and Sub-Zero being bros
Yeah, after looking at these design changes and the roster leak, I had to cancel my $90 order and change my plans on getting the standard version. Lead team designer is on some hypocritical and contradictory bullshit. Theres no telling what the dlc characters are going to look like or whose all on it.
Yeah, it's unfortunate. MKX hit a balance that journalists wouldn't be too upset by.
Parker Hill
Which isn't going to be anything more than walking up to boxes, maybe you'll have certain doors you can't open without an item like MKX. But if you're thinking this will be some crazy big RPG where you fight shit for real you will be super disappointed. Plus Tobal already did that
Yeah, Kotal and Shao are in g-strings with their ass and bulges on display aren't they. Oh wait, they're not.
I don't think any of the men in MK11 are sexy, I think at best they look tough or intimidating, but not sexy. They're not designed with "sexy" in mind at all.
Jacob Lewis
>hay retard they already showed a character you can use it They showed a character in a costumes Scorpion already had, not a new unique character. Nothing about a huge world to explore, nothing about RPG elements or him fighting shit. You are legit retarded.
Andrew Ross
The middle ground is what led to Kitana's best design.
A topless dude = a woman in a bra. Fuck off with you false equivalence
Ryder Martinez
>I don't think any of the men in MK11 are sexy, Because you're not gay or a woman, though jury's still out on your gayness because only a homo would defend the female designs in 11.
Charles Reyes
>netcode is bad already fixed years ago so already broken now fuck off
Benjamin Jackson
>Yeah, Kotal and Shao are in g-strings Never said that. I'm just saying that those two are showing more than the females are showing off, relatively. Just an observation.
Then you're fucking bias point blank. You somehow don't see nothing wrong with the women suddenly being conserved for this game, but is most likely okay with the men being untouched or buffed up; Baraka, as an example of almost being naked, for the first time in MK history, in this game.
Ryan Miller
>playing fighting games on PC
I agree, but guess what middle grounds are disappearing.
That's not true at all, in America underwear on breasts is only acceptable if its technically a bikini. Because the country's deluded.
Right, I don't disagree, but I think the difference is that Shao Khan showing off skin isn't the same as Cassie showing up in a tube top and a mini skirt.
Listen man if you think Baraka being almost naked makes him sexy you might be fucking deluded.
Cooper Powell
I cant wait for a month after release after this games dies and all you dumb faggots stop talking about it. Like every nrs game
Nathan Gutierrez
It was fixed in a enhanced version of mkx and the pc port of injustice 2 which released months later
>Right, I don't disagree, but I think the difference is that Shao Khan showing off skin isn't the same as Cassie showing up in a tube top and a mini skirt. You're right, it's not the same, but they are comparable.
Isaac Cook
>Did you not watch the Shang reveal trailer? Which didn't show anything you are suggesting. We saw a room and Tagawa said hey look at all these boxes and unlock stuff. Didn't even show gameplay.
Oh yeah it is a bit different actually. Feel like I've seen that mask though. But still, thinking he is more than the guy you wander around opening boxes with is make believe.
Christian Price
I played MK9 for 3 years, blow me
Bentley Harris
It's erron black
Nolan Rogers
so you are just hoping they dont add anything are you
Nicholas Perez
>Listen man if you think Baraka being almost naked makes him sexy you might be fucking deluded. >Well built, toned, almost naked men aren't sexy
What a dumbass shill. You're not being a centrist in the fucking slightest. You attacked posts criticizing the conservative female designs and the art design leader retarded statement. You have a bias and you are still wrong.
Mommy Because it's probably easier for men to fight shirtless than women. Or I guess also in women's case, a thin tiny bikini with no support. D'Vorah is different cause she's a bug monster and has some kind of plating there
So you're just blindly hoping they add something and praising the game for something that's not in the game and listing it as a pro
Camden Reed
No, Rain did. He's officially of no use.
Easton James
Shang did appear in his arcade mode ending, but it is probably just nobody man.
So we've gone from it is totally this, to well I'm hoping they reveal it. lmao. It is a box opening sim, if it were significantly more they'd be showing it off.
>Because it's probably easier for men to fight shirtless than women. I don't even know what to say this is
Camden Mitchell
is it easy to fight in high heels?
Cooper Anderson
Her fatality is weird.. she grows up the size larger than earth. Shoots this BIG ASS beam down. And it’s the just the size of a person. Are nrs actual retards?
Ryder Stewart
Ugliest looking and least imaginative gameplaywise "elemental" character I've ever seen.
There were generals for MK9 a good year after it lt launched. MKX also had generals for awhile after, not as long as MK9 but the game hardly died a month launch. Amazing how no one talks about SC, SFV, DOA or Tekken these days. 90% of SF threads are just waifu art dumps, no one actually talks about the game. Stay salty, especially when MK11 outsells possibly all those games combined.
Xavier Morgan
women have to deal with their titties bouncing around when moving around a lot. Also male barbarian/warrior type fighting shirtless is a pretty common cliche
Parker Bennett
>y-y-y-you will just be opining boxes ok
Easton Scott
I'd argue it's not easy to fight in heels or with ornate shoulder pads.
Mason Smith
That's generally all the Krypt has been since it's introduction, yes.
Chase Baker
fuck you no tits no discussion
Hudson Kelly
>Best redesign Scarlett. As long as the mask stays on and she's got short hair, my dick is happy. >Best fatality Noob crawling out the mouth one. >Character that looks most interesting Scarlett again. I just like all her blood manipulation stuff, how she makes weapons and shit.
Lucas Howard
ok fool the Krypt in the last game was more than just opining boxes
Luke Green
That's what the kyrpt has been in all th games assuming it's going to be different with not a ounce of proof is completely idiotic
Ian Diaz
It's just a videogame. Nobody ever cared about the discomfort bikini may cause in a fight, because MK was never about MUH REALISM
Luke Hill
>using a torch to bur spiderwebs is a full RPG Okay bud.
You know nothing about fighting do you >male barbarian/warrior type fighting shirtless is a pretty common cliche Wanna know what's also a common cliche
As an asian, the redesigns of all the asian characters weird me the fuck out. Everyone looks like some random guy they pulled from a chinese grocery store or restaurant. They don't look like heroes that would fit in kung fu flicks, they look like they could be my fucking relatives or some shit.
>the raid great flick. remember that scene where she fought in high heels? raw, gritty, dark, badass, and real
Dylan White
See, even though Skarlet is covered up, she still has sex appeal and I would be okay with this, meanwhile teenage, undefined, tomboy body over there, even though is also covered up, lacks shit for an imagination, leaving the appeal of her design bare bones.
Jace Price
Stay delusional buddy, just make sure you come to my "OH NO NO NO" thread when the Krypt is shown to just be the same as the last 2 games
Cameron Williams
Plus she looks like a ninja
Sebastian Lewis
you are the only crying faggot here sjw boon fag
Samuel Brooks
>Ninja Nop.
Lucas Harris
you are fucking retarded like all /vg/ faggot get lost mk is dead you lost
Ethan Gray
funny how you retards are saying retarded shit like this when the only thing you retards are bitching about are boobs
Grayson Scott
post the beach game the one that BTFO's your non point shill
"anyone who disagrees that my completely baseless pipe-dream is fact must be baiting"
Thomas Butler
Look at that stupid yellow ribbon they added to hide the cleavage. What pussies, they've probably never touched a girl
Aaron Russell
Bronze - Get Over Here - Spear 50 hanging bodies in the Krypt
Bronze - Skull Kabob - Impale a head in the warrior shrine
Silver - Gimme Dat Money - Spend 50,000 koins in the Naknadan shrine
So much for just opening boxes
Samuel Evans
>clasic MK character behind DLC >no role in the story mode >she is going to look like new Kitana anyway. Thanks, I hate it.
Cameron Hughes
you'd be surprised how much some people here remembers
Jordan Roberts
>i-i-i-i-it will just be you opining boxes and guy the epic rpg in SoulCalibur mode you are talking about is just you fighting people
Justin James
>i'm a newfag
Kayden Adams
Oh yeah i forgot sometimes instead of opening boxes and tombs you just you press x on a person and then they die in horrific way and it gives you a prize
Levi Taylor
I'm not the guy who mentioned SolCal, I'm just saying the Krypt is gonna be the same as X at best hopefully with the more interesting openers from 9. It's not gonna be anything more than that
>tiny roster of characters noone asked for It has the same amount of characters as most fighters, with 80% of the cast being fan favorites >new villain is a complete flop The game isn't even out. >characters look like shit, new art direction NRS has been taking absolutely sucks, see injustice >visual clutter ruins potentially memorable maps Completely wrong on both parts unless you're an animefag that hates anything thats not anime
Noah Adams
The fatalities look pretty weak compared to X
Jayden Murphy
Stop replying to him he obviously has problems
Michael Cruz
I'm honestly surprised this looks better than X. I thought X was a significant upgrade from 9, but this is even better.
Daniel Campbell
>Best redesign so far Skarlet. Thank the elder gods they removed that ugly dyke hair from her, she looks like an actual woman now >Best fatality so far I'm loving all of them but geras' 2nd fatality caught me off guard >Character that looks the most interesting to you Cassie seems easy to play and has some good intro dialogues. Waiting for my main cyrax to premiere tho
Parker Harris
>Fuck outta here with that Muslim Kombat shit >457013767 >>Muslim Cuckbat
hay retard you started off literally hoping a mode in the game was just opining boxes
Blake James
>implying Muslims don't do that to women.
Brody Howard
cuckbait
Landon Carter
Expecting =/= hoping
Mason Sanchez
Random leaks and official info about story. Jade and Kotal is together. According to dialogues and one item. Jade will betray Kotal according to Baraka and Jade dialogue. Kotal will probably die according to his achievement "Sacrifice". And in the random leak. He'll gonna die and before that will put a curse to the Kombat Kids.
Noah Williams
Good, Kotal deserves death, even better by betrayal.
Jose Howard
>that ridiculous yellow ribbon
Why is NR so afraid of the female form?
Ryder Gutierrez
I agree.
Juan Jones
trophy list leaked apr 2
Aiden Brooks
So Noob Saibot and Cetrion in the next Kombat Kast? I wanted Frost and Noob Saibot. Honesty.
I can't wait for the fatality where you throw acid to the face of women or lock her up in a room with a gun until she commits suicide.
Michael Baker
all the retarded kids depending on a weekly allowance who arent actually interested in playing this game at all to the point of literally waiting for 2 years to save the price of 2 decent pizzas while conveniently missing out on years worth of playing the game alongside the evolving meta and new characters coming out
Leo Young
You joke about it, but Kabal literally has an acid gas brutality that destroys faces and part of the chest mesh
Jackson Ortiz
Based Kabal putting western whores in their place.
Sebastian Green
unless you plan on playing competitively there's really no point grabbing the game day 1 and buying all the waves of dlc complete edition years later or bust
Gabriel Hughes
yes there is retarded kid, its called actually wanting the game and wanting to play it alongside everyone instead of seething in the corner because I could "save" the price of 2 fast food meals if I wait two more years to get the game
Connor Kelly
not everyone is a fotm player who needs to be playing the newest thing you can pop in mkxl right now and still find players i hope you're willing to go to tournaments with that mindset or you're just bandwagoning
Jackson Ross
>not everyone is a fotm player who needs to be playing the newest thing
aka you dont give a fuck about the game and actually think the point is to simply buy the next game for the sake of it, dont pretend like your shitter attitude has literally anything to do with the people who actively care
>you can pop in mkxl right now and still find players so go do that mouthbreather, seeing as how you literally see zero difference between two completely different games, dont buy mk11 at all and save even more money
>i hope you're willing to go to tournaments with that mindset or you're just bandwagoning yes, as soon as you pay for my flights, entry fees, hotel fees and replace me at whatever jobs I need to be doing in the meantime
