"Let’s not kid ourselves. Midway screwed the Mortal Kombat franchise the moment the fourth installment was released in 1997. Depth and character individuality were thrown out the window, and in a few short years the series had fallen behind Tekken and the new kid on the block, Soul Calibur. Midway dug itself into a hole, and though it tried to climb its way out with a little Deception and a lot of Armageddon, the publisher was not completely successful."

Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
The catched the woke virus after that, saying for MK 10 that "Female Characters Will Be More Realistically Proportioned". You could still rip a spine or blow a head in a bloody explosion, but don't you dare to show a side boob or all hell will break loose.
The ladies in MK9 look like men in drag. They are so buff and their faces are so bad, I don’t feel like we lost anything aside from some sexy costumes. But sexy costumes in drags do not appeal to me.
GB: "More than perhaps any other genre, fighting games offer the kind of mechanical depth that you can lose yourself in for years. Learning the ins and outs, learning and perfecting combos, and so many other things that make this one of the most competitive genres in gaming, even on a professional level now. But you don’t have to be playing against another human to be challenged in a fighting game. Throughout the years, this genre has thrown multiple final bosses at us that have got us all collectively pulling our hair out. In this feature, we’ll be taking a look at fifteen such fights."
Isshin the sword Saint was the hardest boss I ever beat. And I've been playing games for 30 years
I went through the clickfest, it's shameful; more than usual that is, lower than gamingbolt standards, Congrats GB you've reached a new low.
I'm not even really a MK fan, but the new one looks sick as fuck. They are just warming up.
It`s definitely not dead. I`m hype to start breaking bones and ripping heads again and in 3D, I might add.
I haven't played a Mortal Kombat game since the 90s.
Tekken is terrible. Can't even compare to any game in the MK series.
The trailer looked fantastic. Mark this up in the column of fighting series returning to their former glory.
