It's too late for me to get into MK, but they've got a lot of iconic characters, I wonder what caused people to starting hating on MK.
I think it's the combo system. I like the story of MK. It's easily the best story in fighting games but after I play through the story don't really care about the game part. The last game I just watched it on YouTube.

Mortal Kombat is trash gameplay wise.

If you take out the gore it's a game most people all of a sudden care way less about.

The story and characters are interesting and iconic but that's about it and for a fighting game that wouldn't have gotten you far.


Mk has the highest amount of sales true, but it's basically iconic gore porn. People will always tune, pick and try whatever the newest MK is to do something gory :manny:

I can explain depending on how well versed you are in fighting games but the short answer is Mortal Kombat feels different than any other fighting game

Fighting game purists typically don't like MK because it feels so different and there are a lot of mental and execution adjustments you have to make to play it

It's really just the stiffness and rigidity of it. It's a staple of the series but knowing that people still complain about it.

That and NRS cant balance them for shyt. They make projectile chars OP in every game they make

MK been around for three decades, the gore is why got popular initially' but theres something beneath the surface that can be attributed to its longevity. Mortal Kombat is far more FUN than any other fighting game ("deeper" mechanics =/= "fun" Video games are supposed to be fun, not overly technical). The gameplay isnt trash is at all, it just isnt traditional in some ways.

MK super duper trash And I'd still take your bytch (if you have one) with ease :ld:

Dial a combos, trend chasing, and was never really seem as a competitive fighting game back in the day. Many people felt gameplay took a backseat to the gore and was given that “casual” tag.
