You Might Hate Mortal Kombat X

CCC Says: "A slight change of pace could have you screaming FINISH HIM before this game’s conclusion.

The avalanche of titles we were inundated with at last week’s E3 was a virtual sensory overload. Mortal Kombat was certainly on my list of most anticipated. We were promised new gameplay (after the Scorpion/Sub-Zero teaser from a few weeks back) and NetherRealm Studios did deliver as promised. The new footage gave us a further glimpse into the bone-breaking, blood spewing world that is MKX! While not exactly the Mortal Kombat story we’d anticipated, co-creator Ed Boon confirmed the game will pick up from the previous installments conclusion. However, after that, we veer off into a completely different direction, covering a span of up to 5, 10 and even 25 years into the future!"

In all honesty I'm actually kinda happy about this. In a game where people are so often executed in the most "Yup. They're dead." style. How characters are allowed to return game after game after game, was a bit ridicoulous. It got wacky to the nth degree when even a confirmed dead character returned.

This is MORTAL Kombat... no sense in calling it Mortal if the characters are undying.

LightofDarkness4371d ago (Edited 4371d ago )

Exactly, it's time to let some of those old characters go and embrace the future of the franchise. We got a modern MK with all of the old favourites still in there and it was great to see them all again, but the series has been given a new lease on life and I hate to see it mired in the past the entire time. Let them flex their creative muscle and really work in characters that take advantage of their new technology and all the advances in character design we've had since the mid '90s.

Plus, it's not like those assets are going anywhere, they can always keep them as hidden characters or something.

MrSwankSinatra4371d ago

Yeah embrace the future sort of like Mortal Kombat 4, Deadly Alliance, Deception & Armageddon? Where most of the new characters were nothing but fillers for old/dead characters in the series.

SpiralTear4371d ago

Eh...I don't think they'd only keep Scorpion and Sub-Zero. It seems like a really bad idea. Even Soul Calibur V with its crazy character roster revamp still had a respectable number of veteran fighters.

Rebooting an entire roster aside from two characters doesn't sound smart if you're trying to continue such an established series.

wheresmymonkey4371d ago

I'd be happy to see a big shake up of the roster again. They did it in Deadly Alliance and that was a cracking game.

It sounds like they're doing a SFIII/ tekken with it. the characters will be different, but have similar mive sets to the old ones. Case in point Johnney Cage/Sony Blade's daughter.

HappyWithOneBubble4371d ago

I did watch a video where they said it's 25 years after MK9 so my guess is most is not all the MK9 human characters will be old or dead. They will probably do the other characters as DLC but they won't be in story mode I guess. I'm excited for the new characters. So far I like the ones they showed

Tedakin4371d ago

Boon already said classics are returning. It won't just be Sub-Zero and Scorpion. I bet Raiden and others will be there too. I doubt Johnny and Sony just cause of Cassie Cage.

Storm231711d ago

Cool. Wanted to play Hell Let Loose and I always enjoy a good golf game. Mortal Kombat X should have been 11 IMO though.

NoFanBoy1711d ago

HLL seems a bit of a mess on console, I hope it improves but didn't have fun with the beta.

EvertonFC1711d ago

Same was looking fwd to the beta but it was not a great experience

1nsomniac1711d ago

Yea HLL is great on PC but is really hard to enjoy currently on console.

NeoGamer2321711d ago

Ya, I really wanted to play PGA 2K21 but didn't want to pay the price.

Eonjay1711d ago

Agreed. MKX should have been 11. I will play PGA though. Haven't played since Tiger Woods. This month feels lacking.

Ashunderfire861711d ago

I know right lol!!! Mortal Kombat X is free on PS5, but I understand PS4. Heck the PS4 version should be easy to get for just $20 or even less $10 dollars on ebay or selling stuff apps.

Profchaos1711d ago

You can play it right now open beta is live and free

MKX was already in PS Plus Collection. This is the second time they've double dipped. Thank god the golf game lets u hit balls into the crowd.

BrainSyphoned1711d ago

At least twice this year they have double dipped into PS Now games as well.

Christopher1711d ago

Two separate services isn't double dipping. People do understand that, right? Subscribing to one or the other doesn't give you benefits to the other in any way.

jznrpg1711d ago

Fine with me I don’t sub to PS now

ocelot071711d ago

You don't know PS Collection is not available to PS4 only owners right? Only way they can claim this is by buying a PS5 or logging into a PS5 and claiming them.

So am pretty sure a fair few of the 100+ million PS4 owners are thankful.

Knushwood Butt1711d ago

Mortal Kombat X was never released in Japan so this is another one that won't be included in the lineup for Japan and will probably be swapped for some crap but I'll remain optimistic.

Silly gameAr1711d ago

I'm pretty sure MK has never been on plus. In the US anyway.

Not sure what PS Now has to do with PS Plus.

Profchaos1711d ago

Lee carvello: may I suggest a putter
You have chosen driver.

CorndogBurglar1711d ago

You win for your Simpsons reference.

BLow1711d ago

And like clockwork, you always have some complaining. Happy Gaming

Ozzy24071711d ago

Only PS5 owners get the PS plus collection which majority of playstation owners don't have

TheExecutioner1711d ago (Edited 1711d ago )

Not every one have ps+ collection

When u will stop thinking like a child

Knushwood Butt1710d ago

Update

Japan gets Castlevania Requiem instead of MKX

Not crap then!

3 games I won't play even when they are free

lipton1011706d ago

Really? They’re all legit good games

kneon1706d ago

I've never liked those kinds of fighting games so mortal combat is out. Golf? I don't know why such a game even exists. the last time I played a golf game was on the Apple ][. And finally hell let loose looks like just another in the endless stream of ww2 shooters, I already have enough of those in my backlog that I will probably never play either

SurgicalMenace1711d ago

You know when you actually buy your games you wouldn't be so ungrateful for the free ones. Just a thought.

LiViNgLeGaCY1711d ago

This month just didn't appeal to ME personally. If it's a good a good month for others, hey more power to them. And please, I'm willing to bet I've bought more Playstation games than you have. Probably shouldn't make assumptions about people without really knowing them, just a thought.

SurgicalMenace1710d ago

How much you willing to wager, sir? I've purchased just over 20 games this month alone. Have over 830 games in my digital library 250 on my shelf and that is only the PS4. We'll skip the PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, VITA, and PS5 just to keep it fair. Who's counting though?🤷🏾‍♂️

1710d ago
LiViNgLeGaCY1709d ago

Whatever you'd like. Since the PS1 days, my collection is in the thousands, just on Playstation alone. Pissing match aside, again, you shouldn't make comments in the future where you look stupid (ex. Telling someone you don't know that they don't buy games)

SurgicalMenace1709d ago

Or perhaps, since you have such the healthy collection, stop whining about the charity. If they don't give it, then buy it.

Pocahontas1705d ago

WhT do you do for a living to afford 20 games in one month

RedDevils1711d ago

Shit games this month. Mortal Kombat X is already on PS+ Collection what the point of have it again. Throwing some indie and would be more happy.

Ozzy24071711d ago

Because the PS+Collection is only for PS5 owners which majority of playstation owners don't have

KyRo1711d ago (Edited 1711d ago )

Hell Let Loose looks great but it's not a casual game and a bit of a acquired taste. It's nice for people to dive in a d try it though. MKX is already on PS5 for free with the PS collection so that bad for PS5 owners and it was only two months ago everyone complained about a sports title being included as a game but yet they follow suit with another one 🤦🏻‍♂️

PS Plus started so well at the beginning of the year too.

SurgicalMenace1711d ago

I never thought I'd see a day when people complain about what they get for free. Hey, there is another great alternative to settling for free games, BUYING what you want.

How much do you think a market leader is going to be willing to cut into their own pockets? How many games do you actually purchase or do you just wait for them to hit plus?

We actually are grown enough to know that we have to pay for greatness over here. You have an option to go to MS if you'd like as well. Otherwise, add it to your library, say thank you, and move on. How old are we here?🤔

KyRo1711d ago (Edited 1711d ago )

I've been subbed to PS plus since the very day it started when all we'd get is PS1 and minis on PS3. PS Plus as a service was always about the games. Now they've made it a requirement for online play you mistakingly think these games are the bonus. They're not. We pay for access to the games via the subscription. They're not free so before running your mouth and giving it the big one, please educate yourself before calling people out.

SurgicalMenace1711d ago (Edited 1711d ago )

Well sir, I too have been a PS+ member since it's inception and own well over 3,000 games on PS3, 1200 of PS4, and close to every game available on PS5. I speak from a supporting standpoint and I'm strongly against people who do more talking with their mouths than their wallets.

If you've not invested into the best experience possible, then why should your opinion be acknowledged? Plus is 70 dollars a year that equates to about $6 dollars a month....what do you expect to get, a choice?🤣

The day that beggers become choosers is the day that gaming dies. How many of the new releases have you purchased? If the answer is none, be happy with what is given. When you're playing the latest, you have little concern for the hand outs. Just a thought, champ.🤣

Kurt Russell1711d ago

Personally I am looking forward to Hell Let Loose. I don't think I would have dived in with a purchase for that one, but I am dead curious to play it... I am hoping it is just the kind of MP I have been hoping for since R6S went doolally.

KyRo1711d ago

Yeah it looks great for sure. I've watched a few people play it on PC and I'm interested to know it's transitioned to console.

outsider16241711d ago

Yesss!! Played HLL open beta and it was amazing. The immersiveness, the one bullet shot, you can't just go running around shooting like in CoD or Bf.

NoFanBoy1711d ago

The beta has a low framerate, lag, loads of pop in textures, flickering shadows etc. It felt horrible to control and aim. If they could improve it then there potential.

Majin-vegeta1711d ago

Thry are aware.They made a post yesterday

FPS_D3TH1711d ago

It’s not really optimized too well on pc yet either. Lots of flickering
