Who gives a fukk about a story truly? Just make a dope fighter and have character endings from arcade towers. fukk the casuals. They literally abandon the game every year and now you are turning off the hardcores
Story mode has been a part of every game, they just made them more fleshed out. Story mode is for the hardcore MK fans.
I still think they could do more with the classic towers. They could just incorporate the classic towers into the towers if time. Where you have One classic tower that allows you to "choose tour destiny" be pressing a button to revolve the tower. The rest of the towers are your regular towers of time. Bring back the Krypt, and bring back Konquest mode.
Kombat League needs to be more like MK11. You are stuck using the same character unless you change the teams before hand.
The intro dialogues need to be more like MK11 as well.
This ain’t GOW. Nobody cares about stories in fighters. Its all about competitive online. That’s where the money and retention is. KL is a fukking failure. No fighters really had nailed ranked online play
I just bought MK1 and yes, I just started and righfully trash, but, this feels slower than MK11...which ppl hated because it was slow.
Them nikkas wanted to be DC so bad they're copying all their methodsThe next game is gonna be another reboot watch.
Mortal Kombat fans care. Before there was ever competitive online play, there was MK lore and that has stuck around since the beginning. To say nobody cares is laughable.
They catered MK1 to competitive online and people are saying this is one of the worst MK games.

NRS makes my fav fighting games MK1 included. I don’t like MK1 as much as MK11 and Injustice 2 but it’s still a fun game to play. All the cry baby bullshyt online from so-called fans is what turns me off the most tbh
That's easily ignorable.

Agreed
Lore. Not full cinematic bullshyt stories. Enough of it. How many times can you tell the legend of Raiden or Lui Kang? People have been shytting on it for years. So do away with it and focus on core gameplay. MK1 isn’t competitive. shyt was barely at this year evo year one. Tourney scene worst it’s ever been. Rebuild and release a dope fighter without the gimmicks and catering to casuals

The Kameo and that bullshyt dlc killed this shyt.
Going the Havik route was a big L.
Going the Havik route was a big L.
The whole point of the full cinematic stories is to build upon the lore. People love the story mode itself, but have issues with plot points within the story i.e. the multi-verse, gender swapped Sektor/Cyrax, Kuai Liang being Scorpion and not Hanzo Hasashi.
There are aspects that people liked, but overall the multi-verse thing has been a problem. We didn't need several timelines or co-opting an entire story where we have Titan Havik, who only briefly appears at the end of the story mode if the base game, becoming a boss (only for story mode in the expansion and not the towers) and Emperor Rain and Empress Tanya being the main protagonist up until the last quarter where Noob Saibot then becomes the anti-hero defeating Titan Havik.
There was enough to work with that they never fully fleshed out that would have made the story better:
1) Mileena being the victim of a disease rather than some lab creation.
2) Baraka being inflicted with the same disease. He's no longer a jobber, but has an actual story that still wasn't fully explored.
3) Impending Outworld rebellion led by General Shao (this should have been the expansion story)
