So what are your opinions in this? Personally I liked MKX better. Better roster, more fighting style variations...

>The spear nerf was needed.
How? Spear was never OP in any MK. Most people can't even land one
>But could make it cool to see how they make the story for 12 in 2022.
There will be no MK12 then. Boon has outright said he wants to do something else

I've never played a MK game and I don't think I'm liking it too much. Everything feels really slow and I hate inputting attacks that haven't hit yet, it feels so awkward. Moving feels so clunky and jumping feels floaty. Also not a fan of the block button thing, avoiding attacks with neutral crouching is interesting, but I'd rather just not have to use my pinky to block. I'll still give it some more time because I like Jax and Noob, but I'm not sure I'll stick with it.

First good game since umk3 honestly, all the 3d games looked and played like trash until this one.

Haven't played MK since MK9 and I love it. I really just play Johnny Cage online and have barely touched the story or towers so the cosmetic grind doesn't bother me.

Hey there, you dropped your reaction image friendly neighborhood shill.
Usually you tell us to 'have sex' and 'seethe', are you off your game today?

It's easily the best fighter of this gen. It's everything a fighting game should aspire to be. It has the best netcode(netcodes for japanese fighters are literally a joke compared to it), deepest gameplay(has any major fighter ever allowed to customize their character this much?), best story mode(for a fighter anyways). Bonus point for the new female character designs so they don't look like random whores anymore.

i got the game on switch and the online is absolutely abysmal. ive played almost every fighting game thats come out in the last five years, and it's just mind blowing how awful mk11 is. half of my matches give me an [an error has occurred. ending game] dialog at the character select screen.
>but it's just because the switch is shit and has shit online and everyones on wireless!!!
i play basically everything on 5G wireless now, and everything is very playable. except mk11, which is shit.
i dont even really care about "the grind" that all the casuals keep complaining about, but the amount of shit and how much it costs is completely ridiculous. i played 70 matches on release day, as well as a few challenge towers, and i could only buy about ten chests. but not the skull chests. thats a different currency!
havent had buyers remorse this hard in a long time. what a piece of shit.

Why was it so much better than X and 11?

looks really fun to play but the PC port is bad and will probably get abandoned just like mkx so why should i bother

hey bud I think you got the wrong door, /anthropology is 2 doors down

people just thought it was odd looking rocks and never considered bones could turn into rock

The actual core gameplay is fun and probably the best MK has ever been. Everything else fucking sucks. Worst roster ever, special move loadouts is one of the shittiest ideas ever, Towers of time is a joke, having to grind for skins sucks.

The fighting is interesting and I like the 2v1 co-op matches but the freemium grind can fuck right off. Also the PC version is kinda buggy.

>Worst roster ever
Sup.

original MK3 is worse

True.
Point is, MK11 is far from the worst roster.

its pretty fucking bad. massive amount of fan favourites are missing, but dont worry, we have cetrion and jacqui briggs and the kollector!

Let’s look at the good:
Tries to unfuck Liu Kang’s treatment for the last 10 years.
Separate bars for Enhanced and Xrays.
Build your own style.
Colors are not just mud, leather and dark for everyone.
Story Mode is not bad for a change.
Online netcode does not in fact, suck. Plagued with Scorpions sure, but its fucking stable.
Once you have enough collectables Time Towers go full DMC. No really, give it a shot.
The Krypt’s overworld is nice to see.

And the bad: The game ends there because it is superficially MK9+.
Everything else is blocked by unimaginative, tedious requirements (70 fatalities to unlock a tower that do not take into account previous fatalities until you get to it)
The Krypt and the game itself is a bunch of randomize rewards so you cannot focus on what you want.

Its pretty damn great. Best MK since 9, possibly even better than 9. Certainly the best fighter this gen.

I play MK for the singleplayer. The towers of time have some truly retarded design choices at times, but for the most part it successfully captures the fun I had with the 300 floor MK9 challenge tower. And the krypt is so fucking cool compared to how its usually done in prior games.

I honestly prefer it over MKX except for costumes for certain characters. Cassie’s costumes are garbage in MK11. Jacqui gets a ton of nice ones but not my girl Cassie. Goddamn. Whatever. He grind is bullshit but I’m enjoying doing combos, figuring out how some of the characters work and playing the Krypt is surprisingly fun. Finding all the references, easter eggs and exploring is a lot of fun and just makes me wish we had a Shaolin Monks 2 game.

>Liu Kang is op
?????????????

It feels rushed as fuck and the corporate meddling is in full sight. It's nothing they can't fix over time assuming they actually are comitted, but why fix a problem that didnt need to exist? I assume they wanted to save it for next gen but since its right around the corner NRS and WB decided to release it on the tail end of 8th gen thinking it would do fine just because it's MK.

>Custom moves
pretty cool idea, but because these dunkasses rushed the game it goes entirely to waste. Moves should be selectable from the character select screen, just as fast as assist types in MVC, instead you can only change moves in the character customization menu which is why they aren't allowed in tournaments because that would take all week if everyone was allowed to do that.
>Cosmetics
Terrible, being tied to RNG in krypt or retarded towers on a rotation is insult to injury.
>Story
Honestly thought it was good. Not amazing, but pretty solid. You get a good amount of cheese and serious, but the ending feels forced. All these characters are built up only for all their efforts to not matter at all. I'm perfectly fine with the ending and having Liu Kand back as MC, but it just doesn't mesh well with all the prior chapters.
>Krypt
In terms of design, their best. Held back by RNG and trash items.

If they can fix it, the game will be fine, and I think everyone will be ok with no MK for longer than usual.

Oh yeah
FUCK THE PC PORT WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING WHY IS IT SO BAD AFTER MKXL AND IJ2

>loadouts tied to profile
burns my ass, I'd like mk11 as another game to have for parties but having to do all the unlocking on two seperate profiles just so player 2 isn't in the default all the time is asscheeks
