"Once a proud fighting game that packed arcades and enraged politicians, Mortal Kombat eventually became bloated and irrelevant under the weight of new gimmicks and dozens of superfluous characters. So it's no surprise that on April 19, the series goes back to basics, stripping away the transgressions that turned Mortal Kombat into an also-ran."
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
A new book detailing the artwork of the franchise has been announced
Let me fix this title to something less click baity for you:
New Book: Mortal Kombat: Flawless Victory Announced.
The description clearly says what it is. It is not like people have to click to the site. They just have to read.
Sure they don't have to go to the site but to get to the description they already have to have clicked on it. Thus the term 'click bait'.
If its a book say its a book in the article title. Everyone’s gonna think this is a new game and get annoyed reading your description.
The Mods had no issues with the title.
The first line under the image says new book and you can see it in the preview windows without even having to click to read the description.
It also says a Visual History on the image.
On desktop and mobile the text a visual history is not visible in the thumbnail on the homepage.
I grew up on this stuff. Adding it to the art collection!
I do hope the next MK iteration goes back to the core of what made these characters appeal in the first place. A few of them lost their edge - I think I've had enough with some of the auntie designs 😂
Ahead of the release of the new Mortal Kombat skins in Fortnite, Epic Games has given players a first look at Scorpion, Kitana, and Raiden.
My only gripe is they added how to do the fatalities they should have kept it like old school old school MK you had to figure them out.Other than that can't wait till Tues.
This is why I'm happy with the new MK game, its back to the way it should be.
Mortal Tuesday I'm there
dail a combo isn't all that bad about every fighter would/will transition to this point.
I think MK:Armageddon was the final straw, no individual fatalities,even though MKvDCU basically destoryed what MK unique, blood,gore and actual fatalities. The storyline was actually good but the reduce blood and etc is kept me from buying it.
Lol the run in mk3 wasn't bad but thought it was kinda of funny. I'm going to run towards you see if you can stop me.
MK was never good. Go back and play MK and SF2. MK is a stiff mess with choppy animation whereas SF2 is smooth and fun to this day.
Kratos is the last gasp for this franchise. Its like a washed up singer putting out a sex tape to get some buzz. I doubt it will work. Cause if it does, you know what's next....Every washed up game franchise is gonna try to put in some character just to build hype.
Kratos is Dynasty Warriors
Solid Snake in Perfect Dark
Ratchet in Sonic.
Desperate grabs for attention won't work.
