I can admire NRS taking risks and making their games different. However, if you have no idea how to excute an idea properly, then you probably shouldn't try it. The kameo system wasn't even a good idea from the start. People don't like major changes to their games like this. Mortal Kombat is known for being a 1 VS 1 fighter. The game is nearly a year old, and I still see people telling NRS they want a no kameo mode, which they probably won't get in my opinion. To change the game and make it an assist based game was a very bad idea. Had NRS made this system work, it might of been enjoyable, but I still wouldn't want it in the next game. It would of been a nice little change, but it should not be carried into the next game.

I think theyre waiting a full year of the game being out or two so they can try and fool people into taking it seriously competitively, then when theyre fully working on next game, put in the no kameo mode. Cuz think about it it wouldnt be that hard to have been in by now. But if they did before all these kombat packs were done and idiots watch tournys for the shitty kameo gameplay, if they DID put it in, no matter what SOME people would play it and would show they themselves (NRS) werent taking it seriously either or didnt know what they wanted the main gameplay to be.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha what a cluster fuck Mk1 is dogshit. MKX is goated you see the combos in that game and you know the persons good and figured out swaggy shit. MK11 was a very different game style not just slapped together like this shit "MK". Didnt mind the grounded style and characters still had fuck neutral specials. People bitched about Krushing blows cuz they werent done well for doing too much dmg so what did they do with MK Mobile for console? Every basic bnb does krushing blow level damage, they make fatal blows tied to your health still a thing while having normal meter so you can whiff a raw super then combo break. They think balancing the new shit gimmick should be affecting the health bars of the characters. Like Mk1 feels like they IMMEDIATELY made it as a response to "theres no combos in 11" and "wheres xyz character" so they slapped some shit together and said it was "So new and creative" by making tower assists the main gameplay thing and doing them worse. I gave it plenty of time to iron out kinks and wait for "content" kept playing as a fan of MK but im done with it now. Staight up feels like a cheesey mobile game and has the worst online connection of the modern fighters out right now. The story feels like a weird spin off TV show just about character arcs. Its a wrap. Real MK fans are tired of it, NRS. Remember guys warrior shrine coming soon.

Even if they did make a no kameo mode, then the kameo mode we have now would die. I think most people would only play the no kameo mode.

Actually, making Shadow Kick - on wiff and Block will help immensely. If Johnny has at least 1 weakness that will help this games meta. Let me give you all an example on how to do a nerf right. KILLER INSTINCT. Season 2 of the game gave the main Balanced character JAGO a Health recovery mode. Whenever he lands a Fire ball he recovers health. People hated that and wanted it nerfed. Sometime later he got a Nerf. Not to his Health buff, but his Wind kick ( basically Shadow kick ) was made - on whiff and block. Players hated that at 1st. But after some time those same players realised they stopped complaining about him. They wer like, "Wait I can actually fight this character?" So in conclusion The K.i devs realised that the main problem was JAGO had no bad match ups. By giving him a weakness that made the JAGO player think a little more helped immensely. To quote the DEVS. "Treat the disease. Not the Symptoms."

One of the devs said to do one change they have to confirm it with multiple upper management to apply that change, which slows down the process significantly. Their development structure is outdated and convoluted , which is sadly the case for most tech companies. They should really try to make a experimental pipeline and let one dev that knows about balance , change willy nilly. And this experimental mode should be available to players, so based on community feedback they can do a permanent change. If they are too afraid to do it.

That's why dropping the distinction of "archetypes" (rush-downers, zoners, grapplers etc.) was such a grave mistake. As MKTB has broached, if every character plays almost identically -- either because of some universal mechanics which render everything around them, moot; or because the characters themselves are simply copy-pasta clones (MK1 suffers from both these issues, as does Tekken 8 to a less extent; SF6, somewhat from the former) -- then, minute differences within the framework of those universal mechanics (Kameos / shin jabs / throws; Heat Burst / Rage Art; Drive Rush / Drive Impact / throws) will be exacerbated to "broken" status. Compare that to a game where the roster is diverse in gameplay -- with each character having a "meta" very specific to them, and the character alone -- even if there are "O. P." characters (which is inevitable), the game still remains fun to learn, play, and watch. MK1 is not fun to learn (because there's nothing to learn) play (because it's the same one or two BnB's x infinity), and coma-inducing to watch (obviously) -- the triple-whammy death knell for a fighting game (if not, franchise). Moreover, whereas SF and Tekken have some good will to trade, MK / NRS do not; and for MK1 to fail in the eyes of the FG community -- over and above whatever sales numbers it ends up with -- it will be very, very difficult for an "MK13" (?) to make people forget that.

You know, I didn’t want to get on the conspiracy train but I honestly think they buffed Cyrax back to day 1 before Final Kombat specifically for Sonicfox. They saw that he won the first major with the Cyrax kameo and since he’s NRS’s poster-boy, they thought they’d make sure he’d win again. Ironically, he didn’t touch Cyrax for Final Kombat. Give me one good reason, besides this, that they’d buff him, not include the buff in the patch notes and then the NEXT day nerf him back. This, by the way, was all after Sonic posted on Twitter how he’d leave MK after Cyrax was nerfed.

Unfortunately this game fundamentally isn't suitable for a tag game. Stuff like faster movement (which this game is faster than MK11 but not as fast as 9 or X (which is what it should be if it wants to be a tag game)), most the cast (outside of Johnny) having slower attack speeds, and ultimately not having mechanics that other assist base games have to make dealing with the assist better isn't in here. As long as that is still the issue, the balancing won't get any better.

i'm proud to say, and for my own sanity, i didn't buy this bullshit. reviews exists so we can make an inform decision. hopefully, the reviewer is being honest. and that's all i ask. and when describing the game play of i game i have not played, it will or will not spark my interest in a game. MK 11 was my breaking point with NRS. i vowed to never buy another game from the studio because of how shit the game was and how NRS either the developers or their community managers, initially attacked customer/fans for criticisms about the game. unfortunately i had pre-ordered the game and did like the beta, then when the actual game released, it was different in some aspects from the beta. but i tried to like it, i tried to find why i was not having fun with MK 11. i tried to force myself to like MK 11. when reality hit that MK 11 was shit, i said, i'm done. MK 1's Kameo system sounds like straight ass! so shout out to the real ones being honest about this game. you helped me save my damn money.

Just looking at the gameplay while Brady destroys netherealm really takes me back. It’s giving me those Saints Row vibes. As if the original creators of this universe and mechanics around are not here. Instead we have a team more focused on what ppl will say when they see something vs pushing out a product and KNOWING your fan base will eat it. TEKKEN only winning bc netherealm failed us

If you buy product from the store, and its not working properly or its damaged, you WILL return it. But when it comes to the digital product like games, Everyone are sitting quietly waiting for another slap in the face, like a good sheep or a dog. Idk why Tom even trying at all,he needs to realise, there is no cure for stupidity. Only people who praise this game are the ones who earn money from nrs/wb.Of course they will advertise it in positive manner. Its all about the money, nrs doesnt gives a F about how community feels

buff ideas, spread the word Havoc: He needs at least five new attack strings, he needs his legacy move that titan havoc has were he takes off his head and rolls it but its a mid, has the same affect as reptiles acid ball, and also hits mid exploding on contact. he also needs another one of his legacy moves that again titan havoc has where he bends his hole body for a low projectile and the amp of that can be a knock down allowing for combo extentions for cameos like scorpion Sub-zero: he needs his attack strings made slightly faster except for his overhead, he also needs 1or 2 new attack string launchers, both his regular and amp iceball needs to be faster to not only be able to combo with it off of normal attack strings but in juggle combos too. He should have the ability to throw his ice clone, i also think he should have his ice burst special back with the same proporties as mkx to compliment his ice clone(but just does not send you that far away). lastly he needs some of his damage scailing off ground freeze. Scorpion: should be buffed by making his amp ground tp a launcher again and make the cancel built in to both his regular and amp tp. he needs new strings some mix ups(i personally want his mkx overhead back). some moves need to be sped up Quan shi: needs his mind control move from mkx back, and make half his attack strings faster. and finally his low tentacle needs to be one bar Raiden: change raiden's b2 back to the mkx launcher but make it as slow as sub'z b2. give him back his vicinity blast move back with the same properties as mkx. he also needs to be buffed by making his amp electrocute special launch no matter how many bars he uses liu kang: for starters nerf his f4 one button pressure but give him his 113 mkx launcher back along with maybe one or two more new attack strings. make his low fireball slightly faster, change his air fireball to the mkx fireball and the amp the one we have now. give him back his mk 11 dragon parry, and finally make his fatal blow start up 2 hits but the first one restands y'all stay tune i got more heat for every character

*NB:* Lighting a dumpster fire in a dump, is like drizzle to a drowning man. "Tweaks" to a game that is fundamentally, gravely, and irrevocably flawed, are trifles light as flatulence. The only "fix" for the abomination that is Mortal Kombat "1", is to abandon it like a ꭑꭒtt baby and move on to something else... Ideally, to selling off the I. P. to another publisher and/or developer, resting the franchise for a decade, and making either a DC x Marvel or horror movie fighting game (or both). Failing this, MK is dead as a brand; while, NRS, like many other developers under the ailing WB's auspice, will probably get disbanded ("re-structured").

@@BujinDao With all due respect, MK1 was that. They listened to "top players" they deemed respectable and knowledgeable about the game and went about making a game they thought "top players" would love. This is a game completely and totally catered to that demographic of player and it showed why no competitive game, including outside of FGs, should ever listen to their "top players" about their state of the game, almost no matter what because outside of a few niche buff/nerf suggestions top players/pros are completely clueless as to how to maintain a healthy fun game environment, they legit only know how to git gud and literally cannot relate to other players. Meaning those type of guys should never be listened to because they are the definition of selfish who only care about themselves and winning, even at the cost of the games health. Brownback started off as a pro player who got a job at NRS and look at what a job hes done. Terrible.

Its like I've been saying from the first time gameplay was revealed. The Kameo system literally breaks the game beyond repair. When you got MK, which is poke heavy and hit confirm to 50% combo, you can only see red in this games competitive future. Added the characters look bad, the animation is the worst I've ever seen out of NRS, and the game is still missing basic features that should have been in vanilla... I am so sorry for people who bought this.
