Did MKX and MK11 hurt the Mortal Kombat franchise?

11 did more damage

mortal kombat hasn't been good since armageddon

9 is good

11 got rid of the titty and good ass, so yes.

it's stronger than ever and selling gangbusters

Lore-wise, perhaps.

Not in sales, popularity, or mechanics.

11 killed Komfy MK Threads on Yea Forums
fuck that game

More like nobody gives a shit about fighting games that aren't Smash, Street Fighter or Tekken. MK11 came out, sold well, and then it did what every other fighting game does which is drop off the face of the earth once the release high is gone.

MK11 fucked up worse than MKX because they fucking rerebooted the series in MK11.

Seriously, who the fuck thought that a rereboot was a good decision?

so why why do retards on Yea Forums want mk to do bad

no it didn't fool

INSUFFICIENT

If it dies, the directors get axed, and titty kombat a la deception and 9 can come back.

Major downgrade.

You guys know DOA exists right? A whole fighting game with Tits and Ass

I miss Mileena's alt. stripper costume. The MK9 design was close, but got rid of the swept hair and added too many extra details.

Mileena's Deception outfits were the best

I’m still mad they didn’t bring back Mileena. I hate how awful their OCs are. There’s been like 2 or 3 good characters since the last reboot.

>One character
ok retard and a plant lady covered in vines wow

Partly, I think it is well agreed that 9 was the last good one,
9 came out good because they took a back to basics approach and were trying hard to bank on 2-3 nostalgia (because of the success street fighter 4 had at that time banking on street fighter 2 nostalgia).
The "realistic" art direction and character design the series took afterwards with X and 11 damaged the series, to the point it doesn't feel like the "mortal kombat" anymore. For example, if you take a screenshot of every mortal kombat and put them next to each other, X and 11 look like they are from completely different games.
The worst were those alternate classic costumes in MKX that really looked out of place compared to the default ones, when the classic character designs don't fit the game anymore you know you fucked up in the art department.
The story mode trying to take itself seriously (and forgeting it's tongue-in-cheek origins) and the cringy new characters didn't help either.

>That's sexy
Okay, now I know you have reddit tier taste, she's gone done like 2 cup sizes and no cleavage. Fuck off.

Both games are good imo the worse mortal kombat games were the Mythologies

I think the MKX story killed my hype for MK11 and now I'm not sure how to feel after the latters story. I'm not sure if I want to see what happens next.
All I really care about now is what happens with Sub-Zero, Smoke and Noob Saibot and knowing NRS, it's going to be extremely underwhelming

No those looks wayyy more tiny, and covered to high hell, you sound just like those reddit dudebros who simply say that it's better as it shows less.

MK threads don't feel the same without that one autist posting his shitty futa fan fic series and one angry gamer links everywhere.

It doesn't look waaaay smaller ypy literally just can't accept that they're the same. Also who the fuck uses dudebro unironically?

MK9 was broken but the characters looked cool and it was very fun to play.
MKX was broken and the characters looked more stupid but it was still somewhat fun to play.
MK11 is broken, the characters have been shat on and look like retards and it is fucking boring to play.

I get the feeling that either they got tired of MK and ended it with a reset so they could do whatever they wanted with the story whenever they got back to it, or they slapped MK11's plot together becase fans didn't like the direction MKX took the story in as much as they'd hoped.

>All I really care about now is what happens with Sub-Zero, Smoke and Noob Saibot and knowing NRS, it's going to be extremely underwhelming

According to Nightwolf's pre-fight dialogue, Dark Raiden killed every revenant that doesn't appear in MK11's story. As for Noob, they pretty much dismissed the fact that he was nowhere to be seen for twenty years, and outside of his ending, Sub-Zero seems to absolutely hate his brother.

I remember that nigga, he started getting banned once he reached like 13 pages on Fireden saying the same shit.

It's not "looking good", its "looking like mortal kombat".
X and 11 look like Injustice 1.5 and injustice 2.5.

I like the MK11 designs especially Noobs

I do as that's what you are, now go complain about incels on reddit you retard, your covered up fighters are disliked.

how does this not look like mortal kombat retard ans what the hell does the shit you are posting even mean how does it look like injustice 2

>Mortal Kombat 11 looks like they used an updated engine and that bad

with a rebooted timeline, will we get to see an ancient mortal kombat tournament? we can have sub zeros ancestor, an old shirairyu clan, the great kung lao, young shang tsung etc

they've pretty much gone back to the 3D era dark ages. Mostly weak or awful new characters, weird stage and character gimmicks, and the original cast being discarded or badly redesigned. At this point I'm just waiting for the next MK9 style reboot.

2hat are you even talking about now? Why do you keep on talking about reddit for no reason? Also incel is a retarded ass insult so you can fuck right off you dimb negro

Smoke is in the same boat as Rain so, that's fuckin wack.
Noob has literally no story or anything other than his time as Sub-Zero. There's a lot they could explore but all he wants from Kronika is a powerful clan? Really? I was so excited to see him return but they just slapped him into a random piece of the story and forgot about him

Because MK9 made peepee huge even if they had manjaws and zero ass

But they look like shit now?

Explain

so idiots wanted that revenant war shit to keep going and not get rid of that shit so old characters can come back as themselves

Yeah, I'm not holding out much hope. MK11 is literally the first MK game I've never played. That and MKvsDC.
Maybe I'm finally done with this franchise.

Your tastes are shit, Jade is covered up and shrunken down= worse. You being too blind to see that is your problem.

11 is paced like injustice games too. It's what really killed it for me. If I wanted to play injustice I'd play injustice.

Now you're just stealing my lines and she looks good plus she's getting an old costume back anyway like anons said multiple times before.
MKvDC and MK9 are paced exactly like that as well.

I'm surprised people still unironically played it instead of just waching the shitty story mode and a compilation of the fatalities and supers on youtube and saving 60 bucks + dlc.

It's like people like playing games or something

11 is slow as molasses compared to X and 9.

Prove that she's getting an MK9 or MK deception outfit. Her getting an MK1 or 3 outfit is just as conservative as 11.

same for me. I really loved MK

>Billy ends up being a shooterchan user
Not surprising

So it's like MKvsDC?

have you played those games

Yeah, some people not only like eating shit, but get defensive when you point it out, what can you do.

Haven't bought 11 and don't care to, but X was a huge downgrade from how great 9 was.

I try to tell anons that but they say the shit is good because it has boobies. Thankfully MK11 is fun

Yeah.....and? Got any proof those will ever show up?

No Mk9 outfits. So wrong again. And those are just as conservative as there regular attire.

Street Fighter is stupidly expensive.

At least in MK11 I just need to pay for characters in skin.

In SF5 I have to pay for characters, skins, stages, stage variations, and costume colours.

These are conservative?

I wish Kollector actually did something in the story

Yep. No cleavage, and only a slight more bit of Leg showing, nowhere near Deception or MK9 levels.

>hurt
The gameplay has been polished down to a T but everything else about the game has gone downhill so yeah. I'd say so. 9 was the best reboot to a fighting game series you could have and then we get MKX.

Nah man 9 was really good. It was the last one I enjoyed, I tried X and hated it so I didn't bother with 11, but 9 was great.

That's the worst thing about it all. MK9 was so good, it seemed like the failing franchise had been saved.
And then it just went to shit again one game later. Actually it's kind of impressive how quickly they fucked it all up.

Ok

Glad we come to an understanding.

I didn't like MK11's story, but I always hated the revenant stuff, especially since half of them ended up dying again offscreen. The only revenant that somewhat mattered to the story was Liu Kang, but like Shinnok, he only really mattered right at the beginning and right at the end.

UMK3 a best

netherrealm would ruin it with stronk independent kangz women

Yea Forums can only talk about designs in fightan because they can't actually play them.
Be they SF threads, MK threads, even Tekken threads they only jabber on about the most fluffy shit about the games because they FUCKING SUCK at simply pushing buttons in sequence

I kind of agree, but he was still one of the few newcomers after the reboot that I took a liking to. It bothered me more that present Erron only made about two appearances and never said anything, and that Sub-Zero was the only veteran hero whose past self wasn't pulled forward.

See me in something on FightCade

Mortal Kombat was always trashy, user. It's not about it not having T and A, it's about removing the T and A.

Are you fucking blind?
The MK9 Jade clearly had bigger tits, and she wasn't dressed like a fucking muslim.

Ed killed off my nigger Liu Kang. Fuck him for that.

MK 9 was lightning in a bottle. They never actually stopped sucking. They just got lucky.

tfw I followed mortal kombat 11 since the gameplay reveal event and thought it looked fucking awesome. watched all the character streams. then finally got to play the beta. I was fucking terrible at it and got my ass beat. continued to follow till it released and finally got to play it. I was just awful and couldn't into the game even though i love fighting games. Then all the drama started about no sexy characters and the shitty crypt. eventually got it completely refunded. Hate myself for not getting gud but all the other shit offsets it

Thanks for reminding me that Kold War Skarlet still isn't available to everyone.

That happened in the old timeline as well, but I'd say it was handled worse in the new one.

>turned into a whiny villain (although he has a pretty good reason to be whiny)
>loses to Raiden, Cassie and fucking Jax
>goes from being the Netherrealm Emperor at the end of MKX to a lackey once more after MK11's first chapter
>they end up bringing his past self forward and having him save the day because I guess people didn't like Cassie as much as NRS hoped they would

At least he came back as a cool zombie with the chain whips in the old universe. I don't know why Ed hates him so much, Liu Kang is a perfect protagonist for a 70's kung fu inspired franchise like Mortal Kombat. He's basically Bruce Lee with a mullet.

I like their "what if?" old man Liu Kang design, though.

the game looks pretty on the new engine
but the designs are denouncing their roots
I'm not gonna buy to show my dissaproval
I did pirate it for the switch to check it out however

He's black though! Of course he'd make an African ethno state. Cause of how black he is. Remember how he's black? What's that? American patriot? No. Race is the determinant factor in how people act. Nothing else. And he is black.

To be fair, being black has always been Jax's defining characteristic ever since MKII.

Yes. They did. I've been a lifelong fan since MK1 and I didn't even buy MK11 because of how much I hated MK10 and this new direction. The story in 10 was so bad. I don't even remember anything about it except that Kung Jin is gay and Shinok was beaten by a fucking teenage girl. It was so bad. I love how they say their new female design philosophy is more "realistic" too, when they're wearing heals and full fucking gowns and shit while fighting. It is just hypocritical, retarded, wokeshit. I hate that shit even more than the modest designs, honestly.

No, he was a military man with bionic arms. Don't be disingenuous.

I want to make black/Eastern European biracial babies with Skarlet

>hurr jax had metal arms in mk2
Zoomer detected. Also nothing screams 'military' about red and black tights. The whole appeal of him from the very first game he appeared in was that he was a big black guy.

Oh shit, I actually forgot he didn't have the arms in 2. I guess you kinda have a point then. I mean, he was definitely a token black guy. But, I'd still argue that his defining characteristic was his military/patriot schtick, not his race and that making him create a fucking African ethno-state in his MK11 ending was out of character and racist as hell. It's seen as 'woke' right now, but it's not going to age well. At least, I hope it doesn't or I honestly fear for our future.

They couldn't really play up his race in the earlier games without it being unwelcome, so they had to get some mileage out of him being in the military. However, anyone aware could still see what they were going for with his design - a Cool Black Guy™ (see a certain alt of his in Deadly Alliance and his character in MK9 onward). I'm honestly not surprised at all that he got a woke ending in MK11, given the political climate these days and the longstanding ambitions of the character, and NRS will probably continue to milk him for his melanin in future games.
