Despite all the bitching about how "Muslim Kombat" had ugly characters, the game is still extremely successful and one of the best selling games of 2019. It just goes to show that fanservicefags aren't nearly as big and important an audience as they want to pretend they are.

Good.
Maybe people bought it because they didn't think it was going to be as shit as it was
it's almost like MUH SJWSSS don't matter to anyone except reactionary zoomers online
CAUSE I FEEL LIKE A PRISONER
TRAPPED INSIDE YOUR BROKEN WORLD
WHILE I'M PLAYING THE VICTIM AGAIN

TO ME, IT'S ALL THE SAME

I HOPE SOMEDAY YOU HAVE IT ALL
>game has fan service and survives for 2 decades
>SJW rise of #metoo complaints
>shareholders get scared and cut back
>old fans are now complaining about ugly characters, popularity drops immediately after launch
>SJW consider this victory
??
BROS...
imagine living your life as "its me vs the SJWs...."
>Stretching this badly to fabricate a cope
Its almost like MK is one of gaming's most profitable IPs or something lol
imagine denying reality. For example, MK11 gets BTFO in twitch views by 2 games that were released in 2015-2016
I used to think SJWs were in the wrong. Now I realize they're our saviors.
And "SJW shit" like reducing fan-service obviously isn't as big a problem as some make it to be since it retained its success and profitability. Glad we agree.
Maybe because the average person doesn't care about titties in vidia games
This dude is hilarious
Why does it have to be sjws
Cant normal people realize how retarded it is on their own terms without going extremist
Were people really mad about jacks ending slavery?
If anything it was to tamed for mortal kombat wheres the heads on pikes was exspecting some Haitian revolution type shit not this milk toast oh he just made everything better ending
>Fanservicefag still thinking the average MK fan is on his side
No one cares, dude lmao
It's proven by the fact MK 11 sold excellently
There's Fan service thou
see
wrong and bad game evo proved it
It doesn't, but if you call out the faggots that are obsessed with porn out, you're a SJW tranny from discord, according to them.
>sells good
>immediately loses popularity
You are literally coping so hard that you think losing fans = good
Except Mortal Kombat 11 has more EVO success than any of the previous games in the series LMFAO
Fanservicefag SEETHING and COPING
who cares about twitch shit when the game still reviewed well, sold well, still has an active playerbase and competitive scene? you seem really eager to make an issue of nothing
huh?
>that spastic caps lock
So MK was a disaster at EVO i take it?
>still has an active playerbase and competitive scene?
ahhahahahahahahahahahahahah the game is losing relevancy after less than 1 fucking year
Source?
Too obvious discord shill
Not him but that's the case of every non-Japanese fighting game honestly. It happened for MK9, MKX, KI and Skullgirls.
Of course it isnt to the normies who buy this game. If Fifa had a gay black trans clown woman as a character it wouldn't stop ignorant normies from making it sell millions. My roommates bought MK11 literally just because it was the new MK, nothing else. Meanwhile if you censor games that are supposed to appeal to non-normies such as anime games or pc ports on EGS then that's when you see the games actually lose profit.
Tl;dr You're not arguing anything substantial. The game would have made bank with or without SJW shit because it's already a highly profitable IP. Just because it was fine in this game doesn't mean that it's fine with games that aren't financially safe.
To be fair they already got the money and will continue to do so next game. Did you somehow think MK is currently a passion project?
Doesn't matter much, SFV and Tekken still maintained their fan bases by not going SJW tilt mode
>The game would have made bank with or without SJW shit because it's already a highly profitable IP
So much for "Get woke, go broke" :^)
MK11 did worse then unbirth you subhuman loser
>To be fair they already got the money and will continue to do so next game.
You can't be so sure about that, you can only stretch a fanbase to it's limits for so long before a competitor comes up with a MK clone thats more classic than MK itself, which has happened plenty of times in the past
Wow the new CoD of fighting games still has a competitive scene and sold well? Imagine my shock.
MK11 did much better at EVO than any previous Mortal Kombat. Fanservicefags BTFO yet again.
>worst viewed game on EVO
>suddenly NRShills came out in full force
kek
this
>i did better the older MKs
so it still failed? you are retarded loser i won

Back you go xD
Oh my god, you're, ... You're right. I hate white people now, I'm becoming pro SJW.
Lol jk, go kill yourself, low status tranny.
>Older MKs had fanservice and failed

OH NO NO NO NO
Do you make the exact same thread everyday?
>does better

>franchise survives for 2 decades on fan service
>new studio with the IP changes it up and since there wasn't an immediate death plunge SJWs assume it's a win
Are you implying that fan service makes games do worse? Because there are far more examples of the exact opposite happening. :)
I like MK11 but I stopped watching EVO when the it was obvious that it was a Cassie/Geras/Erron with that boring faggot Dragon playing Shitrion
discord is for fags fuck off
psst hey loser
>new studio
its literally the exact same people from midway under a new name lol
good job showing how passionate you are about things you have no experience with
Not only did it not plunge, it went UP. Keep coping.
Yeah, sold so great an animefighter had better numbers.
>exact same people
>2 people
retard
>it went up
MK was more popular in 1999 than it is in 2019 you zoomer faggot
NO NO NO NRSBROS, OUR GAME SOLD LITERALLY MILLIONS AND WAS BEST SELLING, THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING
>Yea Forums is riddled with either SJWs or trolls pretending to be SJWs
>can't go to 2^3chan anymore
I don't even know what to do anymore.
it is still is below Under Night In-Birth
mk11 made 5x as much money as tekken
You don't honestly believe the game sold well because of less fan service, do you? Hate to break it to you but you and your 2 tranny friends who bought it on sale didn't account for most of the sales.
no
It went up in EVO, retard.
So? The previous MKs had more fanservice and yet did worse at EVO and on sales.
Of course not. That's not what this thread is even arguing for. Fanservice is completely irrelevant to the majority of the MK's fanbase. One way or another.
>You DID buy her game, right?
Weebs need to be gassed
and yet tekken has millions of more hourly views than MK11 as of August of 2019. Hm, maybe don't piss off old fans?

Americans buy MK out of a sense of duty. That's where the sales come from.

This!
people bought it because it says "Mortal Kombat" on the cover and there's screenshot of gores.
MK 11 came out 4 months ago and it has less views on twitch than tekken 7 which came out in 2015
It may as well be arguing for that since you're saying that betraying a core audence is fine as long as the normie hordes that go out and buy the new MK during a drought make the game money. I'm not saying fanservicefags are important for MK's sales but to say that you can just remove the fan service from any game you'd like without repercussions is silly. MK is an insanely popular IP so people bought it anyway, if it were something more niche it would be a different story as it has been before.
it was on humble monthly last month, of course it has people playing
>If it's selling better, look at Evo
>If it's doing better on Evo, look at Twitch
Fanservicefags keep deflecting and moving the goalposts because they can't accept the fact that they are objectively worthless. Based Boon laughing to the bank after shitting on fanservicefags and there's NOTHING they can do about it but cope.
>is a household name and moves units like crazy
>still is ugly as sin
are they doing this on purpose to increase the profit margin, or are they incompetent?
it's also important to note that the majority of MK fans remember this as Sonya Blade
Where are the numbers?
>All the people ITT arguing that it only did good because its a household name
But wasn't the whole point of the "Get woke, go broke" meme that even household names crumbled when they "pandered to SJWs"? What happened to that narrative, lads?
Reminder that they are adding Klassic Skins like anons kept saying they would fro the beginning
It´s a case of "too big to fail" and people liked MK for the violence, not for the tits. This isn´t DOA (look how great turning down fanservice turned out for them) Tits were a nice bonus.
klassik*
>no source
>has no response to the unassailable fact that twitch views equates to relevancy for sponsorship which generates more cash value
lmao
its did the WORST at evo stop moving the post fag
Every time someone does post them anons ignore it.
>people liked MK for the violence, not for the tits
Don't tell that to this guy He delusionally believes otherwise
Of course they aren't. Same shit as SJWs those people don't buy games.
Both of you are trying to speak about a franchise that was popular before you were born
Mortal Kombat 11 did better at EVO attendance than any previous Mortal Kombat. Explain this, fanservicefag.
Bandmaid > babie metal
keep on coping on
Why are you deflecting? Mortal Kombat 11 did better at EVO attendance than any previous Mortal Kombat. Where's your explanation for this?
How it is doing compared to other fighting games? See SC6
it didnt
Nah. Band-Maid are awesome (went to two concerts in the last 12 months), but Babymetal is just leaps and bounds above them in every single way. It´s kind of an unfair comparision though.
show numbers then bitch otherwise you are a failure and so is mk11

It sucks that so many people don't care that they turned the female characters into ugly for no real reason and on purpose, but what can I do.
It's the same feeling as watching others buying season passes and DLC and lootboxes, allowing them to become a thing. It sucks but there is nothing I can do about it.
So, nothing new really. Just another day, another step the industry takes towards turning into even more shit.
sjw niggers cant read or post proper numbers

thanks for digging up the chart, I always wondered how many people buy the monthly. I don't even play mortal kombat but I guess you win this time user!

discord-chans have nothing else to do now that they got meme-d on by furry owners who permit cub porn to flood the site.
You can see the whole history of EVO's entrant numbers here
forums.shoryuken.com
None of them surpass 1567
Mortal Kombat 11 has more entrant numbers than any other Mortal Kombat.
How can you cope with this fact?
Actually right now you are coping with the fact that MK X's predecessor is still irrelevant compared to other games that came out next to MK X

OH NO NO ANTI FANSERVICE BROS, THIS WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN
see:
Ignoring the fact that this is Mortal Kombat and pretending like "fan-service" means anything just puts you right alongside the retards claiming it does matter. No to mention playing this whole "MUH SJWs" game whether it be pro or anti is such a pathetic reach no matter how try and spin it. I wish you cunts were confined to your own board so you could fuck off with this highschool bickering.
...
So MK11 sold over 11 million copies?
We're talking about X and 11 you retard, MK 9 had fan service. X and 11 are literally irrelevant compared to pic related
MK11 is more relevant than MK9, too.
Also more relevant than SC6 or DOA6.
but not as relevant as
and pic related was released next to MK X HAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHA

Funny you should bring up SF5, since it has been hemorrhaging relevance ever since it's launch, despite pushing for more and more fanservice.

Every thread is exactly the same every day. This hole is a fucking loop. Now go ahead and draw from the deck of “Yea Forums canned replies”, containing such classics as
>have sex
>dilate
>cope
>sneed
>formerly ____’s
And many more.
The goalpost in the OP was always that Mortal Kombat 11 was very successful in spite of the Fanservicefags bitching about it being "Muslim Kombat".
Still haven't answered this one NRScuck.
its not
MK11 did not sell 11 million copies, no. But on a 6 month period, it sold better than any Mortal Kombat.
Is this some kind of cope thread?
>This fucking game again
Go play a real game like Monster Hunter World, trannyfag amerimutts
Iceborne coming soon and it's gonna outsell MK11 in a month
11 million is lifetime sales for MKX while MK11 has only been out for a couple of months. Trying to compare lifetime sales to initial sales is peak gamer logic.
It's a ResetEra thread full of titty-hating trannies
Are there people on this website who genuinely think that removing fanservice from a game is a good thing, or are they just trolling? I can't tell anymore.
Reminder that Monster Hunter World sold 13 millions and it didn't get woke.
Shills trying to push their forced memes again.
>removing fanservice from a game is a good thing
That's what MKucks and westernfags have been thinking these days.
So, we've now gone from "being woke loses sales" to "not being woke doesn't hurt sales". C O P E
>having old fans hate your game to the point where other old releases are more relevant than your newest release is success
trannies are mentally ill AND stupid
Literally nothing you said is true. Read the thread.
MK11 is more popular than SF:V and Tekken 7? lmao
mk11 was the first mk I haven't bought on release
I can't stand the redesigns
MK11 is still more popular than MK9 and MKX.
MK 9 came out in fuckin 2011. MKX and MK11 are both less relevant than Tekken 7, which was released next to MK:X and retained it's fan service. Maybe if MK 11 decided to not be faggots they would still have loyal fans, but guess not. Cope.
Imagine being a copefag who hates sluts
MK11 has retained the loyal fans and gained some new fans along the way.
see
You would think that MK 11 would surpass Tekken 7 or SFV being that much newer, except no. Barely a blip.
where's your source, chief
I've been on the mk train since mk2 and I didn't buy 11
Reaper Noob Saibot is cool
Mummymac is fucking trash
Anthro Reptile is unforgivable
Wavey haired Smoke is awesome
It seems WB really fucked over their DLC schedule. Ed didn’t seem happy about Nightwolf’s delay
It’s all according to the 1 tweet. I’m just fucking ready for the patches to buff my boy Shao. And slight nerfs to the S tiers
Read the thread: or Still one of the best selling games of the year according to every source you can google.
I don't think it's a good or bad thing, I just think it doesn't affect sales and that the people that say otherwise are clearly delusional.
What tweet?
Thatnk god EVO is done so we can finally get some balancing. Still have to wait to the end of the league probably.
It goes to show that excessive marketing to the masses will almost always work, blast that shit all over television and on every major social media site. It doesn't matter when everyone sees what they bought is dull shit and quits after the fact because you already got their money.
Keep using that "best sales" talking point as much as possible and dissuade people from asking just how many people are still playing, just like all those AAA companies' "total copies sold (don't ask how many dropped the game after an hour)" and MMOs "total accounts made (don't ask how many are active)". MK11's playerbase dropped like a rock immediately after launch and dropped below half each month over the past three months.
Dragon Ball FighterZ has been out for eighteen months and it has more people playing it than three month old MK11. Even obscure anime fighters doesn't see playercounts plummeting as fast as MK11 is falling.
We think it’s all due to WB’s oversight with the game. They wanted NRS to slow down with content and planned patches. This game out of the box has too many bugs with the gameplay and has terrible balance - casuals are leaving quick
I do occasionally make the mistake of going onto Reddit, so I have a passing inkling as to what at least their sensibilities tend toward.
Oh, yeah, I can't imagine the general public gives a shit one way or the other. The people who do care enough to influence their spending are insignificant for a big title like this. Maybe for more niche stuff, I dunno.
I'm just laughing at the people that believe the "Get woke, go broke" shit. I don't care one way or another for fanservice. I wish we talked about Mortal Kombat 11's real issues, like the micro-transactions up the ass.
>Have people getting their face chopped off and being cut in half
>Put more clothing on women to not be too "offensive"
If you think games can continue to post non-creative or "attractive" characters and still remain popular, you are wrong. Sonya Blade remained iconic in the franchise for a reason

That's a weird definition of success, Steph.
MK4 had the best designs
This being MK that's not saying much though
but muh casuals
Soccer moms were afraid of their children being corrupted. Feminists are jealous of fictional characters who look better than they do. The latter is supported by the orbiters who pass for video game media, the same people who guaranteed were making fun of the first group a couple decades ago.
>Continuing to ignore that this is the most successful Mortal Kombat game at EVO ever

MK is irrelevant compared to games with fan service
Yet the MK with less fan service is the most relevant. Makes ya think...
Debatable, the last time MK was relevant in comparison to other games it had fan service

Nice move
Why don't you go suck that gay furry's cock?
NRS only develop for PS4 and Xbox. They have a third studio doing the ports for PC and switch. PC has had a lot of technical errors that still haven’t been fixed
MK X did better than Tekken 7 in 2016, now MK11 is irrelevant compared to Tekken 7.
None of em are playing mk11 though

Tekken can keep its player base after 4 years
Mk11 can only manage keep half of number that in 4 months
>SonicFox can back those words up
>Get 2nd place
i think we broke him
Time travel again. Now they rebooted the universe just like comics
Have kids.
The story in MK11 was straight up Netflix romcom
MK11 is fun as fuck and it looks amazing
This game is heavily pushed by the mainstream media in a way I personally find very disturbing. I wish the IP was not owned by Warner Bros. Its continued protection by the journo media and MSM (who never seem to let any blame linger on it like pre-WB era, for the increasing levels of violence alongside its skyrocketing sales) creeps me the hell out.
On a competitive level, fatalities (and even x-rays/brutalities now, mostly) are barely used or shown which to me seems like defeating the purpose of playing MK.
Despite everyone blaming everything under the sun for our violent generation, to the suits who own MK, it's an esports commodity first and an influence on our culture and minds second I guess?
>there are people irl who spend all day on discord to promote MK11 because they think they're fighting nazis this way
Unintentional romcom. Can’t believe they had to reboot the series twice with time travel since its reintroduction.
based and redpilled
>the entire point of playing MK is the violence and killing!
embarrassing opinion
>GORE GOOD
>TITS BAD
Well now that the SJWs won what are we gonna do bros? Personally, I don't think they're wrong.
What’s fun about it?
lol
the retards are going back to shitposting
Feels good to see fanservicefags BTFO. Mortal Kombat 11 succeeded despite you. You're worthless.
Gilette CEO admitted they lost 8 billion dollars in revenue because of going woke. Going woke and then going broke IS the trend, corporate-backed IPs get special protection and have plenty of tactics to manipulate and spin good press.
MK has access to Warner Bros marketers and lawyers so this woke shit can be pushed into it and they can still sell millions. most other devs or companies go woke and don't know how the fuck PR works at all when pandering to social justice, so it just ends up hurting their profits
I don't think I've ever seen this level of pathetic on this website
>I'm not saying fanservicefags are important for MK's sales
Good, cause they demonstrably aren't
>sales but to say that you can just remove the fan service from any game you'd like without repercussions is silly
Oh, of course. There are some games that live solely from their fan service. Dead or Alive Volleyball, for example, would have no appeal whatsoever if it had no tits.
>still moving the goalpost
Bringing up other games' viewership won't change the fact that MK did better than its predecessors despite the lack of titties
Okay buddy. Because clearly you're playing for those amazing Netherrealm animations and deep interesting lore and cast.
They can't deny you're right, all they can do is deflect to some other game try to cope. They've been utterly defeated.
It's fucking McDonalds, m8.
>game is dead after 4 months
>old fans pissed off
Lol
It's the most successful based on copies sold in the franchise, but the studio nor any website tracking video game sales refuses to report an actual number of many were actually sold? All consumers know is that Wikipedia claims Mortal Kombat 11 surpassed the sales of Kingdom Hearts III and is one the most sold games of year 2019. That's literally it.
Even then, this "success" seems lackluster. I don't many people who play MK11 still, even on consoles, and the Twitch and Steam numbers validate my observations. I guess those microtransactions and over-reliance on grinding really discouraged fans.
>>old fans pissed off
Since this game sold excellently, either they aren't and you're full of shit, or they've been fully replaced. Keep coping.
>muh anecdotes
cope
>after the game is released there is a flood of complaints from the downgrade of female characters
>game is dead during it's summer launch compared to a literal years old game
HahahahahhahAHHAHAhahHHAHHAHAH
I didn’t deny any of that, it just can’t keep its player base that’s all I’m saying you’re the one freaking out like I insulted your mother.
"After", he says. Nigga, look at Your complaints were BEFORE the game released and sold excellently
COPE
>It's COPE! YOU'RE COPING! MK11 IS GREAT
And that's still not what the thread is about.
>hahahah MK11 proved go woke go broke isn't real!
>MK11 is a dead game that cant compete with games that have fan service
>HAHA Who cares? It had a few hundred more people than X and despite it's plummeting viewer base it's still a victory for es jay dubyas!
The argument I’m referring to started because someone showed proof that mk11 couldn’t hold onto their player base compared to 4 year old games of the same genre.
>Jax suffers the worst character assassination in the franchise and is now a WOKE African Wakandian supremacist that supports segregation, contradicting his patriotic fervor of his country in all the previous game, of which he literally wears the American flag on him and proudly admits he volunteered to serve his country
The writers of MK11 are total jokes.
You should actually watch the ending instead of just repeating what you heard from /pol/. Makes you look less silly.
In what way is he wrong?
wtf are you talking about? Jax was a satirical cigar chomping badass who got turned into an emotional drunk who cares about social politics
Silly is a dogwhistle. Ignore any person who uses this word as a retort
retards still crying about a arcade ending
In every way? Jax goes back in time to end slavery, which is pretty much the most patriotic thing a meathed Murrican like Jax could think of.
Jax continues to be selfless and thinks about other people instead of just himself. He helps other people who weren't as fortunate as him by rewriting time where no one was taken as slaves and made it where everyone got along.
Did you kick and scream about Nightwolf's ending in MK3? Mortal Kombat has always done these things.
This is the exception to the "get woke go broke" but I'm pretty sure it won't be the case if the next game is sjw
Is that why he created his own nation and became god of time?
>Mortal Kombat has always done these things.
Completely different, MK3 was nonsensical
Yeah, I saw the fucking ending, you shill. His arcade ending was the the first one I tried. Jax literally tries to change history and manipulate reality, just so African slavery doesn't happen. Just African slavery, by the way. He doesn't even mention the other oppressed groups that got the short end of the stick. Just Black Lives Matter to him. He now lives in an entirely different reality where he lives a completely different life composed of a different family in a country that isn't American.
Here's the video YT: youtube.com
He wears African clothing surrounded by only Black Africans in a city that obviously not his own.
Literally none of that happens. You're just making shit up. Watch the actual ending before you open your mouth hole.
Night wolf manipulated time and wiped people out of existence?
The fuck are you talking about that’s exactly what happens
jax didn't wipe anybody out of existence retard
>B-B-BUT IT WAS DIFFERENT
It wasn't.
Nightwolf took back Native American land from the U.S and then took control of the whole world.
Where does it say he only ends black slavery? How is the city not his own? You're just making shit up to justify being triggered by the word "woke".
Africans would still be enslaved by each other and by the middle east.
But hey, I really wasn’t expecting Americans to even know their own history.
>Just African slaver
how do you know
You do realize how many people would not be born today with simply going back in time to make a simple change, let alone changing major historical events, right?
You know how family trees work and have heard about the grandfather paradox as a fully functioning adult right?
Who the fuck likes MK's gameplay? Even back then it was the worst of all mainstream fighters, carried solely by the violence.
>Africans would still be enslaved by each other and by the middle east.
Slavery in Africa was not the same as slavery in the U.S. Slavery in Africa was more like indentured servitude and slaves could hold high level positions in government like military general.
>But hey, I really wasn’t expecting Americans to even know their own history.
Maybe you should research the history before trying to be an expert.
I'm gonna give you just a lil cope, because you at least admit that this is an exception, instead of trying to deny the game's success.
>manipulating time to ensure certain events didn’t happen
>means people weren’t wiped from existence
Raiden literally spells it out for him.
>Nightwolf took back Native American land from the U.S and then took control of the whole world.
That’s not what happened at all, he was peacefully given his land
>SBU is now the king of "fighting" game
>MK11 lost to shitter like Samurai fucking Shodown
The absolute state of "fighting" game, lmao.
Only if you got your balls cut could you hold those positions.
>twitter.com
MKX came out in april 2015, do you have the 2015 EVO numbers? I mean MK11's EVO number will probably drop like a rock next year who knows, people will probably be tired of seeing Sonic Fox win.
i get it you are spooked you wont be a i non canon arcade ending world
forums.shoryuken.com
>Mortal Kombat X: 1,162
Still less
You know that MK11 plays nothing like MK1-MK3 right
One thing if for certain, back in 2012 when MK had fan service, it wasn't the most irrelevant game at EVO
so like the other retard you are spooked you wont be in this non canon arcade ending world?
So they weren’t slaves even though they were?
Who told you that bullshit?
>black spooked that he won’t be in America
Yes
see stats in MK9 was literally the least relevant game in 2012
>Systems of servitude and slavery were common in parts of Africa, as they were in much of the ancient world. In many African societies where slavery was prevalent, the enslaved people were not treated as chattel slaves and were given certain rights in a system similar to indentured servitude elsewhere in the world. When the Arab slave trade and Atlantic slave trade began, many of the local slave systems began supplying captives for slave markets outside Africa.
>Lovejoy, Paul E. (2012). Transformations of Slavery: A History of Slavery in Africa. London: Cambridge University Press.
He’s not lying, he’s just omitting all the other Terrible things that were done.
It’ll be like me saying that slaves in America were like Uncle Tom. Sure they were but only the minority.
So now that the gay furry finally won like we all expected, will NRS finally release a balance patch? Or will the continue sucking off the tourneyfags who don't want to relearn their tech?
Probably, but only after the current kombat league ends.
Not trying to make any defense for MK but didn't the FGC have a chip on their shoulder about MK for like forever? Also, no Marvel this year probably plays a small part in MK's big numbers too, maybe, I dunno. EVO used to be dominated by Capcom shit.
Cope and BTFO by Fanservicefags can't stop getting obliterated
I used to live in Chicago. In what American city is it normal for native born Americans like Jax and his family to wear African-inspired clothing in the arcade ending? It's obvious that Jax lives in a completely different America with a culture most wouldn't recognize or isn't even America at all. Also, The video also showed him only talking about "people who look like him" have suffered and was only concerned with the Atlantic Slave Trade he wanted to erase. Strange how he didn't start from the very beginning in Africa, where slavery originally happened or the Arab Slave Trade, which was far more brutal for Africans.
Fucking go away, I want my funbag Kitana back.
Ya lost, ya pinhead gahahahahaha
Fanservicefags are important.
She looked like a tranny back then. Fuck off back to discord.
Mortal Kombat is normalfag garbage on the level of COD. The only thing it goes to show is that the majority of consumers still have no discernment and buy what think they are expected to buy,
Why do SJWs need to take tits out of my games? Why do you ruin what I like?
SJWs are more sensitive than Christian housewives in the 90s, thats why
He's a meathead military guy, pretty weird to expect him to know all that. Also, it explicitly states he doesn't get it right the first time, so it is perfectly reasonable to assume he realized all of the nuance only after the first few tries. Saving blacks was just his initial motivation to end slavery. Also sure, in that sense it is not "his city". Just don't see how butterfly effect from changing history is relevant to anything.
>Incel unironically
go back to TopMinds you little cunt.
maybe MK11 will add back fan service so they can maybe be relevant like SF:V and Tekken
Absolutely based.
tic-toc, politicuck

We're getting Klassic female ninja outfits. For what that's worth.
Based trump, time to get rid of fps and violence in vidya
Wish people talked about the actual gameplay. I enjoyed MKX so I'll probably pick this little doozy up at some point. I hear you can't rotary phone the shit out of people as easily anymore
if you wanted to end slavery in europe, just kill the jewish slave traders who prolifically assisted in its popularity throughout the continent?
Why? MK 9 did that and it was less relevant :^)
MKX and MK11 are different. MK11 takes a more methodical approach. Think of it in a space between MK9 and MK2 or more like MK9 and SFIV.
Based on what?
EVO attendance and sales over the first 6 months :^)
>comparing evo 2019 to evo 2012
Are you literally a retarded person? Also how many copies of MK11 have been sold?
cope
>Also how many copies of MK11 have been sold?
More than any other game released this year.
>still no numbers comparing them to DMC 5 or REmake
Yikes
cope? Do you think streaming games online was the same in 2012 than 2019? Also MK 9 had an amazing sale around launch, like over 3 million. Do you have numbers?
Oh no, how you read the 3 posts per month on 8v
Who was the third guy getting a klassic outfit again? I know Lao & Kano are getting one but I forgot the third.
>muh boner culture
jax
>I want unappealing characters in media
Nice, though I doubt they'll include his klassic arms; they didn't include scorpion's klassic mask after all.
mortalkombat.fandom.com
In 2011 WB announced MK's amazing sales of 3 million a few months after launch. Why can't WB release numbers now?
unattractive =/= unappealing
The Thing and Sloth are unattractive, but they are definitely appealing. Leatherface is ugly as sin, but people love him.
please... Reptile
Except this isn't a horror game, it's a game with physically fit warriors.
>I don't believe NPD
>But I'd totally believe them if they said an arbitrary number, I wouldn't come up with another excuse to try to deny it
Society's theaters were empty
huh?
>NPD Group is a leading global market research company founded in 1967 and provides consumer and retail information to manufacturers and retailers. Using actual sales data from retailers and distributors as well as consumer-reported purchasing behavior. NPD has a 25 year history tracking toy and video game sales data.
I don't get why people bring up Steam numbers for any fighting game as they drop like rocks every single time. The fact that so many people even bought 11 on PC after how shit the port of MKX was is amazing to me.
>this isn't a horror game
>literal apocalyptic stories that generally feature monstrous foes that end up killing either a ton of unnamed NPCs or cast members
>Horror guest characters, demons, wraiths, gory murders, Oni, zombies, jumpscares, giant spiders, songs inspired by electronic horror, etc.
Definitely not a traditional horror game, but has horror elements.
Name 1 fighter that has over 5k users regularly. PC players don't play 1v1 fighters they play team games where they can hide behind teammates and not feel a loss. This is why even 1v1 shooters are dead as shit.
What the fuck are you even talking about? You seem to want a vague article that doesn't have a reference point, raw numbers, or comparisons to DMC or RE to stack up to actual sales figures
Tekken and SF have a more consistent PC base after a few years compared to 4 month old MK
Tekken 7 has 4,200 and it's 2 years old
>What the fuck are you even talking about?
The NPD says that Mortal Kombat 11 is the best selling game of 2019. You're coping with that in your own special way.
You do realize every horror movie has implemented attractive victims and protags, right?
See
That's not 5k. Tekken has Koreans that do play on PC
>The NPD says that Mortal Kombat 11 is the best selling game of 2019.
Okay? In 2011 MK9 sold 4 million copies in a few months and thats an actual fact. All you have is a vague article
So it has 800 less people than the arbitrary number you set, but it's still thousands of more players for a 2 year old game compared to a 4 month old game
its the most successful nrs game at evo EVER 1500 entries is fucking nuts for them, still the game is an unbalanced piece of garbage
See:
Literally The Thing and The Shining
This board really underestimates how many normal, well-adjusted people can enjoy a video game without having to see ass and tits the entire time and without hyperventilating over a character not being white.
Personally, if I'm horny, I'll either jack off to porn or have sex.
MK X and 11 literally piggy backed off of 9s success. MK 9 revitalized MK after MKvsDC flubbed, and got it to be popular at EVO in the first place
2 examples, big win?
those aren't raw numbers
Where are the numbers?
the average normie that generally doesnt even play games will go out and buy MK just because its a familiar brand. selling numbers mean absolutely nothing when it comes to a game being good.
look how quickly the playerbase died that should be evidence enough that the game sucks compared to other fighting games.
Porn is rape though
>Tekken and SF have a more consistent PC base after a few years compared to 4 month old MK
That's true, but they still fell outrageously. Tekken fell to 4k from 18k over 2 months and has stuck there since then. Street Fighter V doing much of the same going from 13k down to almost less than a thousand in 4 months then slowly getting back up to on average ~3k as it flip flops up and down. MK11 has averaged out now at 3k from 27k after 4 months like the rest. Their dropoff is more akin to DBZFighterz who went from 44k to 4k in the same timeframe. Let's not even look at UMvC3 and how terrible that sold. Fighting games just do shitty on Steam, it's not really a debate.
2 of the most influential and highly regarded examples. It's true most horror is considered trash and most trash horror seems to pander to retards like you. MK11 has problems, but it isn't because of le boner culture.
Keeping that consistent base is 10,000 times better than going from 27k to 1k in 4 months
based knowledgable user easily dispelling the fanservicefags copes away like they're as weak as dust
>look how quickly the playerbase died that should be evidence enough that the game sucks compared to other fighting games.
steamcharts.com
Both fighters released recently with SC having a new character released today. Both are circlejerked over by hipsters and weebs, yet MK wipes them in numbers.
No one is talking about game quality here.
>2 of the most influential and highly regarded examples.
Way to pull that out of your asshole, way to ignore literally every famous slasher movie from the 70s-90s, Ellen Ripley, Elvira, etc.
Then we need to wait more for that data to actually come out. Street Fighter went to 1.6k peak players in 4 months, but it's one of your main arguments for saying MK is doing shit. Give it time to actually develop it's staying playerbase rather than just shitposting.
>develop a player base
This shit won't even make the next EVO
Hot
>Elvira
She's a host for horror movie marathons and the movies she was actually in were comedy (Pee-wee and Elvira: Mistress of the Dark )
well yea its an established franchise, still mk9 had 300 entries in evo 2012 and MKX had 1100
why do retards say the girls are ugly again
why do people care so much about this old and busted franchise?
When they decided to put modern politics into the game is the moment Mk should've lost all respect it still had.
>Make outworld great again
>I'm not waiting for people to get woke
>female characters shouldn't be sexy because they are fighting
Politics aside Kotal Khan is a completely shit character for no real reason.
Most of them look completely retarded
MK is probably the only fighting game franchise that is appealing to normies, in other words, the only true mainstream fighting game franchise.
It's the same crowd whose most appealing games are COD, GTA, and the pletora of online multiplayer trash out there like Fortnite and Destiny.
What these people have in common is that they have poor standards for gaming.
Actually caring about character design, gameplay depth and intrinsicalities, level design, music and so on is a "hardcore gamer" thing.
Add to this the fact that normies in general are effeminated compared to previous generations, while minority identifies as "leftist", majority have adhered to liberal talking points like "if you like fanservice, you are an incel".
It's no wonder they don't care about fanservice, and I don't think this makes for a good argument against the relevance of fanservice, since for most of these people even gameplay can be shallow as fuck and they will still buy it.
Either way, other less popular franchises would definitely suffer from lack of fanservice. Imagine if Tekken, Soul Calibur pr Street Fighter had MK tier character design?
It would be a shitshow.
streaming online games was brand-fucking-new in 2012
>Make Outworld great again
Outworld unironically was better with Shao Kahn in charge. What the fuck did Kotal do for them other than job and genocide the Tarkatans?
>Most of them look completely retarded
what are you talking about retard
funny how all the fan service heavy titles still beat it.
even samurai shodwon by your own logic is bigger then mk 11 and samurai shodown ended up increasing fanservice due to demand according to the main dev
What the fuck was the hate boner justified by the writers for Kotal khan for?
show me a picture of the mk11 girls not looking like they are mouthbreathing.
>best selling games of 2019
2019 is also going to be the first time ever since the crash hat yearly video game sales decrease
MK steal appealed to normies with big tiddies back in 9
that article was released before DMC and RE too, basically only leaving that zombie game and Kingdom Hearts
the problem is that they all have been desexulized and covered up while the male characters now all have male stripper outfits. the even made all the breasts sized for all the women 4 times smaller form one game to the next while every single male character is super buff.
for all the bitching that anita did MK 11 is the first actual sexist game. but since the victim are men the media and sjws actually cheered them on
MKX obliterated MK11 in sales and user reviews
Wrong. Kingdom Hearts released in January. Resident Evil 2 as well. Both before Mortal Kombat 11 released in April, let alone its sales were gathered.
Lying cope.
Beauty is desirable. Period.
It makes no absolute sense to remove fanservice from franchises that historically had it, or to designe female characters to be ugly.
Regardless, what really pisses people off are the "muh sexism, muh female empowerement, muh white masculinity bad" talking points.
>this bait
>all the fags falling for it
I didn't even read the thread and I already know how predictable you faggots are.
>what really pisses people
Incels, you mean. A demonstrably small portion of gamers, as is evidenced by the success of Mortal Kombat 11. Keep seething.
You could argue MK X did well only because MK 9 was such a massive success after following MK v. DC
Was kinda funny seeing it get beaten by samsho in views in evo
>Incels, you mean. A demonstrably small portion of gamers,
Actually the majority of gamers like attractive characters, which is why games with fan service do well
There isn't enough data to say which is the better selling title. Although MKX has sold more in it's lifetime compared to MK11 in a couple of months, if that is what you meant.
>user reviews
>waifufags and incels review bombing the game
Is that supposed to mean something?
I know, but a lot of things changed.
Anyway, it's more like normies are indifferent to it. They are going to buy MK regardless.
MK11 was the only game that lost viewers
Do you have the numbers on that?
>Anyway, it's more like normies are indifferent to it. They are going to buy MK regardless.
Normies don't realize there are tiny pockets of autistic transsexuals that spend all day spamming companies with complaints
>show me a picture of the mk11 girls not looking like they are mouthbreathing
what are you talking about
>the problem is that they all have been desexulized and covered up
this stupid shit again
>the average normie that generally doesnt even play games will go out and buy MK just because its a familiar brand.
i think this might have been the case with MK9 (which i have seen copies of in nearly every friend's house i've been to), but only the illusion of that was the case with MKX. These games sell enormously well but do people really play them?
HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN
MK 9 literally saved the franchise after critics and fans hated the DC cross over
>MK is probably the only fighting game franchise that is appealing to normies
street fighter and mk are pretty much the best known but smash bros is also up there.
hell even blazblue and guilty gear are getting pretty mainstream
to this day i have to wonder whose brilliant idea it was to cross over with an IP that can't have characters being sliced up or murdering people.
Literally Warner Bros
Have you seen the metacritic user score for MK11?
but how did they pitch it, i can't fathom how it sounded good
"we're going to crossover a game known for violent murder with DC who are mostly heroes that don't kill anyone, ever"
What about MK9 is it more relevant than MK9?
the discord baby will just blame bad reviews on Trump supporters or whatever
They had fatalities and shit, the gore was just removed
youtube.com
Still a fucking retarded idea to OK but share-holders have never been good creatively
that sjw fag tries to point at the fact that EVO attendance was less for MK in fucking 2012 compared to 2019. Seriously.
pfhahahahahahaha
you say this every single damn time a "SJW" game sells bazillions, grow the hell up, SJWs made a game, people like it and it sold well, plain old capitalism
if you dont like it, go make your own

Captain Marvel is a bad film. It has bad writing, bad acting, and bad special effects.
It made a gajillion dollars anyway, even if half those tickets were hypothetically bought in bulk by Disney to inflate its profits and mask its mediocrity. But that doesn't change that it's a shit film. All that says is that the Brand is strong enough to make people buy it no matter what, and they are abusing this brand strength to push progressive bullshit in.
The aesthetic of this game bothers me on a visceral level, few games do this
Yeah, but a lot of /pol/tards refuse to admit even that. They have this narrative that anything that goes against them must fail. The corporate Jews can't succeed. It's delusional but that's what they think. Either that or they're trying to convince people of that.
Billy has an entire platform and sponsors and this is what he chooses to publish all the fucking time
does he not get tired of this? he's even worse than the SJWs
He has a platform precisely because of this clickbait culture war shit
even for them that must be a BIT MUCH
2019 has been a shockingly poor year for games sales in general.
>MK9 dev team released sales numbers because they are so great
>MKX release sales numbers because they are so great
>MK11... Well "its the best one sold in 2019"
>game is blatantly SJW
>Furry nigger won EVO
LIKE POTTERY
homu.
This honestly reads like a parody
Did it not only top the May charts because there was literally nothing else going on in May?
basically
Get out & live a normal life. How can you become this much attached to a place like this?!
Have you tried talking to normal people? 99% of them are mouthbreathers. I have a handful of friends I can talk to, but other than that, holy shit. They're so uninteresting and devoid of any true passion, it's depressing even trying to talk to them.
>mk is sjw because an ending
fabricated clickbait was bound to fail
No wonder only trannies and gay furries enjoy this game
Just dropping by to say that Kano needs a buff.
Not everyone can play like Biohazard.
That is all.
>furry gay nigger

What's weird to me is that capeshit comics have plenty of gore and they could have found any excuse to have DC heroes kill.
